Chapter 163 Going Home
The total rent that Zhang Wangcun needs to pay this year is already clear. After Wang Taili's family property is liquidated, this part will be removed from the middle, and the rest will be divided equally according to the amount of land rented by each farmer. Of course, in the end, I left some for the Wang family, but because their family's usual expenses are really not low, and there is not much money left, so they only have enough money and grain for them to collect grain next year.
As for whether Wang Taili's family will have a bleak year this year, it is out of control.
It will take some time for each family to distribute the money. Hao Yu and Ding Page did not want to pretend to be someone else's hand, so both of them went to Zhang Wang Village in person and watched the people distribute the money one by one into the hands of the farmers. At the same time, they also really felt the joy of the farmers.
When everything was distributed, the villagers still stood on the big field in the village, talking about something.
Hao Yu stepped forward and glanced at the farmers in front of him with a solemn face. Suddenly, the slightly noisy field became quiet. He said in a low voice, "Fathers, Hao Fu has always wanted to give up the greatest profit to you and let you live a good life, although the treaty signed by Hao Fu with you is beneficial. Dear villagers, who would have thought that there would be a worm like Wang Taili? And it's been many years! I hope that in the future, everyone can be bolder. If you find someone doing this kind of bullying thing, you must report it to Haofu as soon as possible. I promise that as long as it is true, everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
For these farmers in front of them, they may not be able to earn ten taels of silver after planting the fields for a year with all their best efforts. Now with the words said by the second young master of Hao's mansion, they naturally have no doubt at all, and everyone is jubilant.
Seeing Hao Yu's high popularity for a while, Ding Yizi stood aside silently and didn't say anything.
Master Hao is a wise man. This matter is just that Hao Yu dealt with a tail. It's not what he found, and it has no impact on him.
It took another two days to deal with Zhang Wangcun's aftermath, and finally it was time to go back.
Hao Yu and a group of subordinates rode on horseback. Naturally, he would not go with Ding Yizi. After dealing with the matter that afternoon, he left.
Qinglian and Zishuang persuaded Ding Page to go back to Taihe County tomorrow morning. After all, there is a long way to go there. If they rush back today, they will definitely have to get home in the dark. Besides, she hasn't had a good rest these days. It's better not to rush back.
Ding's page is thinking about Hao Ling's situation. He was embarrassed to ask Hao Yu before, but now he just wants to rush back quickly and see it with his own eyes.
I couldn't resist Ding's insistence. Qinglian and Zishuang had to pack up their things and go back to Hao's house. Manager Li and Yang Li naturally followed together.
By the time of entering the city gate, it was really dark. The cold wind was blowing outside, and there were few pedestrians on the road. The stall vendors had not been there for a long time. Only the lanterns in front of some people's doors were lit up, barely lighting up the street.
After another quarter of an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the door of Haofu.
Qinglian quietly approached Ding's side and called softly, "Young lady, young lady, we are here."
Ding Page was Qianmian. Hearing Qinglian's call, he woke up, stretched out casually and asked, "Have we arrived home?"
Qinglian replied with a faint smile, "Yes, young lady, please get off the carriage and go back to have a good rest."
Zishuang has taken the lead in getting out of the carriage and has also placed the footstool. Seeing Ding Yi came out, she quickly reached out and held Ding Yi down. She looked like a obedient little maid. Ding Page couldn't help sighing. It seems that this person, sometimes you can't be too kind to her! Now the deed of sale of Qinglian and Zishuang is in her hands, and she also holds the power of their life and death. The two of them really serve her very carefully this time.
After getting out of the carriage, the cold wind rushed over. She couldn't help shivering because of the cold. Qinglian quickly took out a fur cloak in the bag and put it on Ding Page.
Ding Page quickly accelerated his pace and hurried to the East Courtyard.
Now it's time to have dinner, and she is rushing to the dining room, just go back.
Far away, there seemed to be a person standing there at the door of the east courtyard. Seeing Ding Yizi coming, the man shouted happily, "Young lady, it's the young lady who is back. Xiaoyu, hurry up and heat up the food. The young lady must not have dinner yet."
Hearing this sound, Ding Xiaozi knew that it was Donger who was standing here waiting.
When he came to her, Ding Xiaozi asked with a smile, "Donger, what are you standing here in this cold weather? Don't you know that I'm coming back today?"
Donger had the most contact with Ding's page. After a long time, she got up casually. Seeing Ding Page asking her, she said bitterly, "Young lady, it's not that I'm a divine operator. I know that you are coming back today, but the young master said that you will definitely come back today, so let the maidservant wait here. What about it?"
Ding's page laughed. It seemed that Hao Ling saw Hao Yu come back, so he guessed that she would come back today. It's just, why is he so sure that she will come back overnight? Is she so obvious about his feelings for him?
After saying that, Dong'er got out of her way to make it easier for Ding to enter the yard.
The yard was brightly lit, and Ding Yizi's heart was warm. Suddenly, he felt like a traveler returning at night, but there was always such a person waiting at home. Most of the time, the meaning of home is also here.
He quickly stepped into the main room, and a man on the bed looked up at her with a smile. There was no doubt that it was Hao Ling.
"Madam, you're back." Hao Ling put down the book in his hand and went to Ding's page to welcome him.
Dong'er and a few maids quietly took the door up and waited quietly outside. There is no doubt that it is the private time for Hao Ling and Ding Page. They don't need to serve for the time being. They just wait outside and listen to orders.
Ding Yizi untied the cloak on his body and casually put it on the stool. Then he rushed into Hao Ling's arms like a bird, quietly leaned his head on his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and absorbed the warmth of his body.
Seeing the reaction of Ding Page's little daughter's family, Hao Ling was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. He slowly reached out and patted Ding Page's back and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Ding Page muttered, "It's nothing. It's just that it's too cold outside, and you're still warm."
Hao Ling laughed and stood with her for a while. Thinking that she was also tired these days, he pulled her to sit down on the couch.
"It's so late today. Why are you still back? It's inconvenient on the road, and there's nothing to do at home. I should come back tomorrow morning. Why rush back and forth like this? Hao Ling stretched out his hand and rubbed Ding Yizi's cool hands to warm her, and said with a little complaint.
Ding Xiaozi smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but if I don't come back, won't I let someone keep his word?"
Hao Ling was embarrassed, and his face turned slightly red. He asked, "Did anyone say anything about me?"
Ding Niazi looked at Hao Ling's cheek in a daze and couldn't help reaching out and pinching it. It was still the white and tender touch. I'm afraid it's not as good as ordinary big girls. Sometimes, Ding Bianzi really feels that Hao Ling's temperament is really weaker. Obviously, he is also a person who has been immersed in the market for many years, but he actually looks very talkatively, as if he is a good gentleman with no principle. Although this is not the case, it is sensuadly.
Sometimes Ding Niazi even feels that if she goes out with Hao Ling in the future, with her tough temperament, in the eyes of others, it is not like her father-in-law shopping with her wife, but her wife forcing her to go for a walk, right?
Well... When it comes to this, Ding Page can't help but think of the first encounter with Hao Ling. The more he thinks about it, the more interesting it is. If it hadn't been for Hao Ling's bravery, and if she hadn't moved the bench and smashed it up, I'm afraid they wouldn't have met and met.
Many times, things in the world are really wonderfully tight. If this had been put in the past, she would not have thought that there would be a prince like Hao Ling in her life.
"My father-in-law, I'm hungry." Ding Page muttered.
Hearing Ding's page saying that he was hungry, Hao Ling quickly let go of his hand and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, wait a minute, I'll let them pick up the meal. I knew earlier that you were coming back. I specially asked the kitchen to make some of your favorite dishes, which are all hot on the stove. I'm sure you have something to eat.
Before he finished speaking, Hao Ling saw the thief's smile on Ding Page's face. Thinking of what he had just said, he really wanted to hammer his own brain. Isn't this his own rebuttal?
Angrily, he bent his index finger and scratched Ding Yizi's nose. He laughed and said, "You know how to play."
Ding Page smiled and said, "When did they play? Are you really hungry? It's my father-in-law who specially left me delicious food.
Hao Ling had nothing to do with her, so she had to shake her head and sigh.
With Hao Ling's order, Dong'er quickly brought a food box, four dishes, two soups and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, neatly placed in front of Ding Page and Hao Ling. The four dishes are all Ding page favorite, and the soup is also stewed old chicken soup and mutton soup, which are good things to warm up the body and are suitable for this season.
Ding Page looked at Hao Ling in surprise. After Donger withdrew, he asked in astonishment, "Sir, don't tell me that you haven't had dinner yet."
