The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Old Yan wanted to get a piece of land on the farm to build a retirement house for his family. This was planned from the beginning.

It just happened that he had the money, time and land.

As a "foreman", it's not too much for him to think about a house for himself, right?

Even if the Craftsman Supervisor needs him in the future, it's all planned here. When he leaves for home, there will be someone to look after him.

If there is nothing important at the Craftsman Supervisor's place, and something happens, other people besides Yan Lide can do it, then Yan Lide can just take a leave.

The house is being built at home.

This reason for taking a leave is also reasonable, and Li Erfeng won't say anything.

Li Erfeng has always been generous about this kind of thing.

Yan Lide slapped his forehead when he heard what Li Fu said!

"Yes!"

Yan Lide suddenly realized.

There is such a thing.

"Okay, Huairen, you reminded me." Yan Lide smiled and said, "I have to go and take a look at my piece of land."

"The land is right there, I can't run away." Li Fu said, "Take a break first. You've come from Chang'an City, and you're tired from the journey. After lunch, you can go and take a look. After that, you can stay here and make a good plan for your house. When the farmers around are done with their work on the land, you can recruit workers to work. It's that simple. In the early stage, you should prepare everything that should be prepared. You are familiar with this."

Yan Lide nodded repeatedly.

That's right.

That's right.

However, if you build a house for your own family, you can't transfer people from the house of King Jingyang to use it.

So, Yan Lide planned to write a letter and send it to Chang'an City, to his own home, to transfer his own people to use.

And this matter still needs to be discussed with his wife.

Borrowing Li Fu's study, Yan Lide wrote a letter and asked the driver who accompanied him to the manor to go back to Chang'an City.

After dinner, Yan Lide went to his own piece of land.

It's true that Yan Lide is also a capable person. After determining the target direction, his action is amazing.

There was no delay at all.

Yan Lide had already known the topography and future plans of the manor.

It can be said that he had a lot of ideas in mind. Now when he went to see the land again, he felt different.

It's not too far from Li Fu's new house. In the future, the two families will be neighbors in this manor.

However, according to Yan Lide's official position, there are also requirements for the construction of his house.

Everything must be within the requirements.

As long as it is within the requirements, Yan Lide can do whatever he wants with the rest.

And Li Fu's new house is very large.

If the building materials of this era were not limited, Li Fu could have borrowed another 500 acres from the sky on this piece of land.

Li Fu sat in the study and thought about other things.

Looking at the letter delivered to him.

Nowadays, the exchanges between Zhuangzishang in Jingyang County and Chang'an City are getting closer and closer.

Things in Chang'an City are no longer like before, where they can be put on hold.

"Xiao Tao." Li Fu called out.

"My dear, what do you want?" Xiao Tao responded.

"Go find Lao Zhao."

"Yes."

Xiao Tao hurried to find Lao Zhao.

However, Lao Zhao was not at home at the moment.

Xiao Tao frowned.

"Where is Uncle Zhao?" Xiao Tao asked the people in the house.

"He said he went to inspect Zhuangzishang." The people in the house said, "He should be in Zhuangzishang now."

Xiao Tao sighed.

We have to go out to find him.

"Find two people and go out to look for Uncle Zhao. When you find him, tell Uncle Zhao that your husband has something to ask him."

"Okay, I'll go now."

The servants in the house hurriedly went to find someone to go out and look for him.

On the farm.

Old Zhao came out alone by car. He asked the driver to stay at the village gate for a while and went to walk around the village.

As he walked, he arrived at the door of a house.

The house this family lived in was not good in the farm. There were three earthen houses and two east and west wing rooms. The west wing room was collapsed and looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time.

However, the stone wall outside was built flat.

The wooden door was closed.

Old Zhao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"I'm here." A woman's voice came from the yard.

Soon, the yard door opened.

When the woman saw that it was Old Zhao standing outside the door, she hurriedly greeted him.

"It turned out to be Housekeeper Zhao."

Old Zhao nodded.

"What are you busy doing?"

The woman smiled.

"Twisting straw ropes in the yard."

"Is Da Zhuang not on holiday today?" Lao Zhao asked.

Today should be a holiday in the academy.

In the academy, on holidays, the children in the villageThe children can go home.

Because it is close to home, as for children from other places, there are only two days in total, and those who are far from home will have a day to go back and forth. If there are only two days of vacation, it is better to stay in the academy.

And their parents are also happy for their children to stay in the academy, because in their opinion, whether it is a day off or not, as long as they are in the academy, even if it is a day off, they can study.

"Da Zhuang stayed in the academy today to help the teacher, so he hasn't come back yet." The woman said.

"Is that so." Old Zhao nodded slightly: "Okay, you are busy, I will leave first."

"Butler Zhao, what do you want to do with Da Zhuang?"

Old Zhao shook his head.

"Nothing, nothing, I just came to see you. It's hard for you to support your children to study alone. Now that my husband has moved into a new house, I'll find you if there is any outsourcing work." Old Zhao explained: "However, there is no suitable one at the moment. If there is one, I will come to you. In addition, I will talk to Dazhuang about this matter so that he won't be worried."

"A new house will be built on the farm this year. After the busy farming season is over, construction will begin. It will be completed before winter. If it is not enough, we will sign up for the lottery as last year. You..."

The woman forced a smile on her face.

"Butler Zhao, I will not participate in this matter for the time being." The woman said: "Now it is enough to have a house to live in."

"But I am worried about your house in winter..."

The woman sighed.

"My husband passed away a few years ago. I'm raising Da Zhuang by myself. It's already hard for me to support him in school. I can't even think about replacing the house."

"It doesn't matter. Just sign up for the lottery." Butler Zhao said, "Don't worry about the rest. I'll take care of the money."

"That's absolutely not allowed." The woman shook her head.

How could she ask Butler Zhao for money?

"When Da Zhuang comes back, I'll come again and we'll discuss it together then." Old Zhao said.

The woman lowered her head slightly.

"Butler Zhao, I, you don't have to help me like this. I..."

Old Zhao waved his hand.

"It's nothing..."

Before Old Zhao could continue, the servants in the house in the distance hurried over here, calling Old Zhao as they ran.

"Butler Zhao."

Old Zhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw the people in the house.

"I have something else to do. I'll talk to you next time." Old Zhao said goodbye to the woman.

Turning around, he walked towards the direction of the people coming from the house.

"What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" asked Lao Zhao.

"Miss Xiao Tao said that the young master has something to ask you, so she asked you to go back and meet the young master in the study."

Lao Zhao nodded.

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

Along with the people in the house, there was also a carriage parked at the entrance of the village.

Lao Zhao hurriedly got on the carriage, and the servants in the house also sat on the front frame.

Lao Zhao was still thinking in the carriage, but what was not handled in the house?

"Did Xiao Tao say what the young master wanted to see me about?"

The person sitting on the frame shook his head.

"I never mentioned it."

"Did anything happen in the house?"

"No."

Lao Zhao made up his mind.

That was not something in the house, it should be outside, the young master wanted to do something.

That was a big deal.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the new house. Old Zhao did not dare to delay. He got off the carriage and hurried into the house and ran to the study.

Old Zhao hurried back and trotted all the way to the study.

After running to the study, he began to breathe heavily.

Old Zhao did not think that he was old, but that the new house was much larger than the old one.

The amount of exercise was not at the same level.

It was not close to run from the gate of the house to here.

"My dear, you are looking for me." Old Zhao said breathlessly.

"Sit down and talk. Take a break. Look at you." Li Fu smiled: "Xiao Tao told me just now that you were not in the house, but went to the farm."

Old Zhao nodded.

"Recently, haven't the people in the farm been busy with things in the fields? Is there anything that needs you, the housekeeper, to deal with?" Li Fu asked curiously.

Old Zhao shook his head.

"Not really."

Old Zhao thought about it and didn't want to hide it from her husband.

"I dare not lie to you, my husband. Actually, my going to the farm is a private matter."

"Oh?"

Li Fu raised his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and his expression became lively and interesting.

"Let's chat?" Li Fu looked at Old Zhao with a smile: "Can we chat?"

"Yes, of course. What can I hide from my husband?" Lao Zhao showed an embarrassed smile on his face: "My husband said before that after so many years, our lives are getting better now, and there are many people around who can help me with things, so I should pay attention to my personal problems."

"I don't want to trouble my husband to help me solve it, so I have been more careful in the past two years."

Speaking of this, Lao Zhao was a little embarrassed.

"In fact, there are not many requirements. As long as she is willing to live a down-to-earth life and has good character, it's fine."

"At my age, I can't think about a virgin girl."

Li Fu heard that this was wrong.

"That's not right. There's nothing you can't do. When you were with my mother, you were less than 20 years old. Even though more than 20 years have passed, you are only in your 40s. Now you are the chief steward of Jingyang Palace. There is nothing you can't think about."

"You have status and money now. You have been with me for so many years. I will definitely not treat you unfairly. If you get married, the mansion will take care of everything."

"Besides, do you think our family needs your money or your affairs now?"

"Go out with your head held high and your momentum taken out, understand?"

Li Fu looked at Lao Zhao.

"However, if you have already made up your mind, then I won't say much. For this kind of thing, everything is still based on your own wishes."

"If you think it's appropriate, then it's fine."

Lao Zhao nodded repeatedly.

"Then, this person is from our manor, who is he?" Li Fu asked curiously.

"The widow of the Yang family in the manor. Her son Yang Dazhuang is studying in the academy in the manor. She is raising the child alone. So, if there is any work suitable for her to do on weekdays, I will give it to her so that she can earn more money to support the family. After a while, I think this person is good."

Li Fu's eyes lit up.

"Then it's okay if you think it's okay." Li Fu smiled.

Although the other party has a son.

Although a woman with a son can't even handle Dorgon.

Although.........

But, Lao Zhao is interested.

There are so many althoughs, but as long as there is one but, it is enough.

This kind of thing is hard for Li Fu to say.

But it's not important.

Lao Zhao is a generation older than himself. In the future, no matter what althoughs or buts there are when he is old, he, the master, can protect him for life.

It's not a problem to provide for his retirement.

After all, it was Old Zhao who brought Li Fu up from childhood, and he had been loyally supporting the whole family until Li Fu was crowned king.

Just think about it, back then, Old Zhao was just a young man in his twenties, and he had gone through hardships and dangers with his young son to where he is today.

When Old Zhao was in his prime, he encountered the most difficult time in the farm, and he took it up all by himself.

Just for this reason, it is not excessive for Li Fu to provide for Old Zhao in the future.

On the contrary, if he does not care, then Li Fu is really not a human being.

"How far has it developed?" Li Fu asked curiously.

Old Zhao blushed, a little embarrassed.

That is, his son is not at home, and he is embarrassed to enter her house, for fear that some gossip will spread in the farm.

"If you want to talk about it, it's nothing to help her family occasionally. I don't know if they know what I'm thinking." Old Zhao looked embarrassed.

"Did you say that? Did she refuse?"

Old Zhao looked up, his eyes showing uncertainty.

"What?"

"But she didn't refuse when I assigned her work."

Li Fu slapped himself on the forehead.

Amazing!

A stone, an old Zhao.

Li Fu began to wonder if there was something wrong with the feng shui of the old house.

"You're talking nonsense. You're a housekeeper, and you assign her work. She can't refuse. Besides, she can earn money by doing work. She has to support her family and her son."

"I'm asking you, did you tell her what you were thinking?"

Old Zhao shook his head.

"No, my dear, I'm not such a reckless person."

Li Fu closed his eyes in despair.
