Farmer of Shu Han
Chapter 5
Feng Yong expressed his shock: "According to Uncle Zhao, this Li Tingchang is going to be an official matchmaker for me?"
"Is the official matchmaker so easy to respond?" The housekeeper felt a little resentful, "Half of the matchmakers recruited by the government are because they can't get married, so they let the government find someone to match. If you have a hidden disease, you will get a match." Wait, there are poor families, widows and widows, and so on. How can the lord be so self-deprecating?"
Thinking about a woman who is blind or lame, who can even be her own mother, calls herself "Husband", Feng Yong feels a chill, so where is the free lunch? It's all leftovers that others don't want.
"That's why the old servant said that he has no good intentions," the steward said with disdain on his face, "Master, don't forget that the Li family in Xiali Village is still his distant house. He came this time to marry the second young lady of the Li family. Come to our house. The reputation of the Li family in Xiali Village is worthy of the lord?"
The Li family in Xiali Village? Feng Yong's eyes widened all of a sudden, expressing even more shock: "This Li family...is that thick-skinned?"
It's no wonder Feng Yong said that, if it is said that the person who left the deepest impression on him after crossing is the Li family in Xiali Village.
The matter has to start with Feng Yong's family. They are originally from the north, so they are not locals. In those years, there were constant wars in various places in the north. How could ordinary people survive?
Feng Yong's family became refugees in the north and fled to Jingzhou in the south. Before they settled down, Cao Cao went south again, and Ah Weng had to take his family to Shuzhong again.
Along the way, the family died and scattered, and in the end there were only three members of the family. A Weng Feng Yong must have guessed in his heart that there would be nowhere to escape, so he gritted his teeth and went to eat the military rations. His luck was not bad, and he bought a hundred acres of land to come out.
With land, he is no longer an outcast refugee, so the Li family in the same village made a baby marriage with the Feng family. Well, Feng Yong, who was still young at the time, made an engagement with the young lady of the Li family.
Then, when Liu Bei entered Shu, Ah Weng was incorporated, and his treatment was not bad, his official position was raised, and he got a deputy general.
Unexpectedly, this Liu Da'er was the emperor who cheated Shu, and sent all the soldiers from the whole country to attack Wu, so A Weng naturally followed him, but he never came back after this trip.
Feng Yong's predecessor went crazy because of this, and disappeared in the mountains. His mother lost her husband and son, and couldn't stand the stimulation, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide. In the end, he was the one who took over the body of this unlucky boy.
Because I was ignorant when I first came here, I didn't think that my speech and behavior were too different from others, so I was regarded as a psychopath.
The Li family, who had just married the Feng family in Xiali Village, had no other ideas. After all, it is not uncommon for only one member of the family to die in the chaos these years. Turned into a neuropathy, this is absolutely unbearable!
What is the difference between sending your daughter to marry a psychopath and pushing her into a pit of fire? So I hurriedly found another family to make an appointment quickly, and we got married next month, and immediately married off my daughter.
Feng Yong said what can I do? I am also very desperate!
How about the world changing too fast? Feng Yong gradually stopped going crazy, the government suddenly returned the land that had been taken back, and the emperor suddenly rewarded 500 mu of land, and now the Li family regretted it.
Why was the Li family willing to marry outsiders? Isn't it because of the Feng family's one hundred acres of land? Now it has become 600 acres, but I regretted my marriage, isn't that a big loss?
Fortunately, there are many daughters in the family. The eldest lady married someone else, so she still has a second daughter. If she finds Li Tingzhang, who has a distant relationship with her, the eldest lady will be helpless, but if we don’t need the second young lady ?
Li Tingchang thought that he would be able to come here, and he guessed that it would be enough to use the second young lady of the Li family to top the big and small ladies, so he threw out a murder weapon.
You see, this young man of the Feng family is considered to be of marriageable age and should be married, otherwise the officials will fine him.
Then he recalled the previous close relationship between the two seniors, and then said that because of a misunderstanding at the time, he thought that Xiaolang of the Feng family had disappeared and would never come back, so the eldest lady made a new engagement with someone else.
Although Feng Yong came back later, in order not to break his promise to others, he had to let the eldest lady marry first.
In the end, I made a statement. Fortunately, the Li family still has a second young lady. In order to express my apology, can we use the second young lady as a substitute?
The butler gestured and spoke vividly, but he couldn't hide the contempt in his tone.
Feng Yong made up his mind and burst out laughing on the spot. He pointed at the housekeeper and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, you should accumulate some virtue with your mouth. It is understandable for this lady of the Li family to marry someone else. Who told me that I was hysterical at the time? If I were to switch to another house, I wouldn’t be willing to marry my daughter over, would I?”
"As for Er Xiaoniang, this matter has nothing to do with her, and she is being pushed around, and it's not livestock or goods, so why bother to spoil people? Go back and talk to Li Tingchang, it's my fault that Mrs. Li married someone else, so Li You don't have to feel guilty, let's forget about Mrs. Li's affairs."
"Why don't you say that the lord has a kind heart? With the face of the Li family, you can calmly ask the old servant to persuade him not to feel guilty. If he is more impatient, he may come to kill him."
This flattery was comfortable, and Feng Yong accepted it with a smile. In fact, the root cause is that, in Feng Yong's memory, the ladies of the Li family don't seem to be very good-looking, black and thin, and have a snobbish personality like their parents. When Feng Yonggang came out of the mountains, he said a lot I'd rather die than marry the Feng family.
This makes Feng Yong not too cold, if you don’t marry, don’t marry, it’s fine to talk about it in private, but it’s considered a serious insult to say this in public these days. At any rate, the two families had a good personal relationship before. Although there is only one lunatic left in the Feng family, it is not appropriate for you to openly insult her like this.
It is inevitable for children from ordinary peasant families to be stunted. It is understandable that they are dark and thin. Innate factors have no advantages, so they are reluctant to accept it. After all, they are not emperors and nobles. There is no way, after all, it is a lifetime thing.
"Is there anything else going on at home?"
"There's nothing else. But Pavilion Chief Li mentioned something before he left, asking if there is any surplus grain for sale after the summer harvest."
"Huh?" Feng Yong paused, and then continued to move forward, "Collect surplus grain, our family has no surplus grain now, right?"
"Why don't the old servants want to spit on him on the spot! Which big family only sells the old grain that has been stored in the past few years, how can they sell the new grain that has just been harvested? Small households only sell new grain when they really have no choice , if not, he is a prodigal. Isn't it obvious that he looks down on our Feng family by asking such a question?"
There is such a saying about big households selling grain? Sell the remaining old grain before the new grain arrives, and do not sell the new grain. Feng Yong expressed his long posture. But then again, in fact, the Feng family is also a small family, and they don't even have a storehouse.
"This Pavilion Chief Li wants to collect food, not necessarily because he looks down on our Feng family, what he is afraid of is that the drunkard's intention is not to drink." Feng Yong thoughtfully, and looked up at the sunset in the sky. It was stained with a layer of golden brilliance.
housekeeper:……
"The old servant doesn't quite understand what the lord said."
"It's nothing." Feng Yong pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Uncle Zhao, don't we still have the silk that the emperor rewarded us? Or use it to collect some food?"
"My lord, why is this? Leaving aside the morals of the world, most people store grain and don't sell it, and it is difficult to collect it. Besides, our family's grain is already enough, and if we collect more, there is nowhere to put it. .”
"It's my fault." Feng Yong smiled self-consciously, "Then let's raise more chickens."
"The family has already raised five chickens. Since the Lord likes to eat chickens, our family has enough food, so we can naturally raise more." The housekeeper agreed with this suggestion.
"Well, let's raise three hundred first." Feng Yong said a number casually.
There was only a "boom" sound from behind, and the housekeeper staggered for a while without knowing what he kicked.
Feng Yong looked back and saw that the butler was leaning on the fishing rod with great strength. The thin fishing rod had been pressed into a bow shape and was about to break. He stared at him with a pair of eyes, "Master... my lord Excuse me, I didn't hear clearly just now, how much does the lord want to raise?"
"Three hundred!" Feng Yong said, and gestured with three fingers, "Uncle Zhao, are you okay?"
"Nothing, nothing." The steward finally stood upright, but his lips were trembling, "My lord, how can we feed so many? Not to mention unattended, even food..." Speaking of the latter, Although the words were not spoken, the meaning was very clear. It was a crime to use such precious food to raise chickens!
