Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 131: ：Zhou Yonghe

Remember in one second【】

"There is no shortage of food in the spring. The crops in the fields are growing well. Even though the harvest has increased by 15%, I am not hungry. The next season will be back to the original state. In the past few years, the weather has been good, and the harvest per acre has increased. The rent of 50 is affordable. I heard that the rent of various households in Beijing has recently increased to 10 per acre. The rent of Zhengzhuang next door to the Weining Hou Mansion has increased to 100 per acre. The harvest has also increased by two and a half percent."

Now, everyone stopped complaining about the Yu Mansion and began to sympathize with Zheng Zhuang.

Farmers have simple principles and are easily satisfied with comparison.

It is true that Zhou Yongchang is too bastard, and they are also greedy. The owner is so kind that he does not take good care of the crops. Instead, he deliberately destroys the crops on the farm in order not to increase the rent.

Mr. Zhuang continued: "The manager of Zhengzhuang next door is from Weininghou Mansion. He is domineering in Zhengzhuang all day long, bullying men and women. I heard that several girls in Zhengzhuang have been raped. The steward caused trouble, and one of them even jumped into the river. Twenty percent of Zhengzhuang's rent of 100 per mu went into his pocket, and half of the additional 25% increase in harvest came from him. It's all right. Although Zhou Yongchang committed a crime, the management is still chosen from our Zhouzhuang, which is also a good thing."

No one in the hall said anything bad about Yu Mansion anymore. Everyone thought that Yu Mansion was very kind to farmers in the past. In bad years, the rent was reduced and the harvest was reduced. Even in good years, the rent was increased, which was less than other families.

I heard that the old lady of the Yu Mansion worshiped Buddha, and the eldest lady grew up in front of the old lady. She was as kind and kind-hearted as the old lady, and had the heart of a Bodhisattva.

Mr. Zhuang said again: "Although this matter is Yongchang's fault, since the government has already dealt with Yongchang and allowed Yongchang to take away the blame, you should not blame Yongchang too harshly in the future. Otherwise, if the government finds out, he will still be regarded as a criminal. We have a grudge against the government, so we are angry at Yongchang."

Miss Yu dealt with Yongchang and arranged work for Yongchang, which is indeed a word of kindness.

Everyone nodded.

Zhuang Laolue pondered: "The eldest lady is now in charge of the house, so let Yonghe be the new manager of Xiaozhouzhuang. Does anyone have any opinions?"

When mentioning Zhou Yonghe, everyone felt sad. They all thought of what happened ten years ago and couldn't help but look regretful.

So, Zhou Yonghe took office that night and became the new manager of Xiaozhouzhuang.

This morning before dawn, Xiao Zhouzhuang loaded the picked vegetables onto a large carriage and asked Zhou Yonghe to take them to the Yu Mansion.

Coming with him was Zhou Yongniu.

Zhou Yongniu took the initiative to explain the **** things Zhou Yongchang had done, and the Yu Mansion gave Zhou Yongniu a reward of five taels of silver, which made Zhou Yongniu's family extremely happy.

As for Zhou Yongtian and others, Zhou Yonghe did not bring them over, but chose another honest man to enter the house together.

Zhou Yonghe stood at the back door of the Yu Mansion, thinking of many years ago, when it was freezing cold, and he knelt stubbornly at the gate of the Yu Mansion, completely ignoring the doorman's expulsion and the passers-by's pointing. He was frozen stiff, but then a woman took him into the house through the back door, and met the head mistress of the Yu Mansion, the charming and elegant Mrs. Xie!

He still remembered that Mrs. Xie was wearing a red phoenix embroidered with peony and fox collar and jacket, and she was sitting on a chair solemnly and grandly: "The tenants of Zhouzhuang are also dedicated to their work, and they can be compared with the Yu Mansion. If you have some love, tell me if you have any grievances."

Back then, it was because he was young and energetic, and had few things to do, that he rashly sought help from the Yu Mansion.

Later, he realized that it was a blessing that he met the kind-hearted Madam Xie. If he had been someone else, he would have frozen to death outside the house. It is estimated that no one would care about him. If he were more ruthless, he would be in chaos. A beating with a stick will make it impossible for the family to survive the rest of their lives.

Zhou Yonghe was lost in thought when the old lady in blue cloth came forward and said, "The eldest lady told Guan Zhou to wait at Fufengyuan first."

Zhou Yonghe turned around and told Zhou Yongniu and others: "Just wait where you are, and don't interfere with the personnel in the house. If anything happens, don't panic, let alone be anxious. We'll talk about it after I come back."

Zhou Yongniu took the lead and agreed, and Zhou Yonghe followed the woman to Fufengyuan.

At this moment, Xia Tao was also telling Yu Youyao about Zhouzhuang's new manager: "Zhou Yonghe has been studying since he was a child. When he was ten years old, he became a child. Zhou Yongchang's father is also a ruthless person. He bites his teeth. So he spent all his wealth and sent the person to a school in Beijing, and asked Zhou Yonghe to study with the master, who would pay fifty taels a year."

Yu Youyao listened carefully and figured out the secret. The new manager had studied and had a reputation. Zhouzhuang had indeed chosen such a capable person carefully.

However, I was a little surprised: "Zhou Yonghe's father is willing to spend such a large amount of money to send Zhou Yonghe to a school in Beijing. It shows that Zhou Yonghe is not an ordinary person. Why did he come to the government to be a manager?"

Xia Tao said: "This matter is quite tortuous. When I was a child, I heard someone mention Zhou Yonghe, and I had to mention it, so I heard a lot."

"Oh?" Yu Youyao suddenly became interested.

Xia Tao continued: "Zhou Yonghe's father has a skill in building houses. When he is not busy with farm work, he works in the homes of noble people in Beijing. If he meets a generous owner, he can also get some silver rewards. , my family also rented a lot of fields, and the harvest was good. Over the years, I also saved some property, tightened my belt, gritted my teeth and held on for a year or two, and my life would be better when Zhou Yonghe passed the scholar examination."

Yu Youyao is clear.

At that time, Zhou Yonghe was already a boy student. If he took the college examination again, he would be named a scholar.

If you do well in the exam and get in the top few, you can still be a "genius", eat public food, and be a guarantor for the county exam, which will be very popular in all the villages. ~IndoMTL.com~ Just couldn’t take the first few places, Zhou

Everyone in Zhuangzhuang is closely related, and if there are future generations who are going to be successful, the entire Zhouzhuang must be wealthy and able to contribute so that Zhou Yonghe can continue to study and take the imperial examination.

Xia Tao sighed leisurely: "The incident happened ten years ago, when Zhou Yonghe's father went to Beijing to look for work during the winter. He wanted to earn more money and bring it with him when he took the exam. Then he fell off the roof and died on the spot."

Hearing this, Yu Youyao couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that the world is impermanent, fate plays tricks on people."

“There are more than just these things that fate can do to people,” Xia Tao sighed: “Zhou Yonghe felt that his father’s death was strange, so he spent money to hire a widower and found that Zhou Yonghe’s father had been lame in one leg. , just got on the roof and fell to death."

Yu Youyao's breath tightened. She had often heard about wealthy families bullying men and women, and taking human life lightly, so she inevitably felt pity in her heart.

Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
