Li Baolu pushed aside all the gold and silver in front of him, and said happily: "Judging from the income of these three stewards, I think that after copying all of them, we will definitely get no less than 70% of the 50,000 taels. Of course, This is the result of counting all the industries, if there are only nine people, I can barely count as 30,000."

  Li Baolu drooled: "30,000 taels, so much money."

  Gu Jingyun was helpless, "I've never been short of food and clothing for you, why do you love money so much?"

"How many people in this world don't love money?" Li Baolu disagreed, "Although I love money, I also get it right. If they hadn't done it too much, I would have turned a blind eye and let it go. Their."

Li Baolu took the account book and threw it to him, snorted coldly, "Thinking that I'm a little girl who doesn't know the world and can cheat at will? The above losses and the reasons for the losses seem reasonable and interrelated, but if you look at each one carefully, you will know whether Possibly, unless it was intentional."

Gu Jingyun took the account book and flipped through it, but he didn't take it to heart. Baolu is sensitive to numbers, and her skills are better than his. She said that if there is a problem, then there must be a problem. Everyone has nothing to do with each other, as long as you keep an eye on the steward's family, but there are many long-term tenants in the village, if the steward's family entangles people, can the people you send calm them down?"

"Don't worry," Li Baolu said triumphantly, "I've already thought about it. I asked them to go there in the name of inspection and visit. When I went there, I asked the ground rent first. I've already thought about it. This year, I only charge 20% of the ground rent and the wages for long-term work. Three times more, those tenant farmers and long-term workers are not stupid, they first got the news and knew that they were going to check the accounts, and I’m afraid they will help arrest people together for meritorious service.”

   Gu Jingyun sighed, "Twenty percent..."

  Li Baolu nodded, "The Zhongyong Houfu has been collecting 50% of the total. I directly reduced it by three-fifths. I've calculated it, and there is still a lot left after we spent on seeds and farm tools."

  There is also a reason for the high rent of the landlord's family, because the tenant farmers buy the seeds they plant, and if the farm tools are badly damaged, the landlord also has to make up.

  Of course, people like Zhongyonghoufu do this, but there are always landowners who save more money and get more money. The tenant farmers have to pay for the seed farming tools themselves, and in the end they still receive more than 50% of the land rent.

   If you come across such a landlord, the tenant farmer is really unlucky.

  Li Baolu felt that she was a very good landlord. 20% of the land rent also included seeds and farm tools, so she was the only one in Mandachu.

Gu Jingyun likes to see her smug look, and after reading it, he says: "Your uncle, they are coming soon," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "I learned from the Prince's Mansion today that they have entered Baoding today. , have you rented the house you rented?"

   "No more rent," Li Baolu found a house deed from the box, and said, "The second courtyard in Liu'er Hutong is temporarily lent to them."

  Gu Jingyun nodded, "It's cheaper for us."

   "That's not it. Originally, we didn't have a single penny in the family division of Gu's house. As a result, this house raid went directly from poverty to great wealth. This sudden wealth, it turns out that raiding a house is the most money-making way."

   "This kind of thing can never be done again," Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "You can't forget the shape."

   "Mmmm," Li Baolu nodded fiercely, "I'm a good and modest boy, I won't get carried away."

The two of them stopped mentioning Li Hong, because mentioning him would not make him feel good, and thinking that he would be able to see him in two days at most made him feel bad, but as long as they thought that she had fulfilled her promise to her grandmother, rehabilitated the Li family, and let the Li family After the bloodline left Qiongzhou, she became happy again.

   She stared blankly at the gold and silver on the kang and the table. The Li family had nothing. Even if they returned to the Li family in Shunde, their property would never come back.

   It looks like she has to give them some money to start over.

   But it's not difficult, they have passed the most difficult stage, haven't they?

   I just don’t know when my uncle and the others will be able to leave Qiongzhou.

  The two looked at the moon outside the window at the same time, and Li Baolu whispered: "At least the moon we saw is the same. I guess Niuniu must be making her uncle tell her a story now."

  In the Qin mansion in Qiongzhou, Niuniu was grabbing her father's beard and shouting vaguely, "Brother, sister—"

   Qin Xinfang was helpless and could only show her the portraits of Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, and corrected again: "It's father and mother!"

   Niuniu raised her little head, pinched her fist and yelled at him angrily, "Brother, sister!"

   Then he pointed at He Zipei and said, "Mother," and poked Qin Xinfang's nose again, "Father!"

  He Zipei's eyes were wet when he heard the name, he hugged her and said to Qin Xinfang, "Forget it, she is still young now, she will be taught when she is older."

   Qin Xinfang felt no pain or soreness in her heart, but insisted: "No, a child admits death, and if he doesn't teach it now, he won't be able to teach it."

  Niuniu is one and a half years old, she can walk and run, and she will chase after them and call her "Daddy, Mother". Qin Xinfang loves her more and more, and he is more and more reluctant to let her suffer.

   He looked at the delicate and weak daughter, and couldn't help thinking of their eldest daughter who lived to be three years old, and asked with difficulty: "Are you willing to live in this place all your life? As a sinner!"

   Tears fell from He Zipei's eyes, and he covered his lips and was speechless.

   How could she be willing?

  Although Jingyun swore before leaving that he would find a way to rescue them, it was too difficult. They were adults, not children, so naturally they had to think of the consequences of not being rehabilitated.

They had agreed long ago that if they could not be rehabilitated, they would let Niuniu be the children of Jingyun and Baolu. When they proposed this idea, they were still a little complacent and felt that it was okay for them to stay in Qiongzhou. Anyway, the children are good people and can leave. Just fine.

   But now Niuniu is growing up and getting more and more cute, she can't think about her if she can't see her for half an hour, not to mention that they are separated from each other and can't recognize each other.

Sometimes she would feel that there is nothing wrong with the guilt, at least their family is together, but when she wakes up, her reason can't help but beat herself, how can it be good, this is Qiongzhou, this is the guilt Ah, doesn't she know what life the sinners of Qiongzhou lived?

   It is only because the Qin family has outside support that they can live so well.

   But the so-called good is nothing more than food and clothing, and it is far less than the good people who travel freely and have rich entertainment activities.

   How could she bind her daughter here because of her own selfishness?

  She will hate herself!

He Zipei pushed his daughter away, held her shoulders, pointed at Gu Jingyun on the portrait and said, "This is your father, I, I'm my aunt," and pointed at Li Baolu's portrait, "This is you. Mother."

  Niuniu stared blankly at the person in the portrait, then at her mother, and burst into tears decisively, hugging her neck while crying, not recognizing the person in the portrait.

   Now Qin Xinfang felt distressed, and hurriedly hugged her daughter and coaxed: "Forget it, forget it, I'll teach you tomorrow, I'm tired today, let's go to bed first."

   Outside the house, Qin Wenyin bit her lip, tears fell drop by drop, Bai Yitang frowned, "Why are you crying?"

   Qin Wenyin turned her head away, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then said to him apologetically, "Mr. Bai laughed."

"Niuniu is just a child, and you don't take her out of the village. It's not a big deal to call Mr. Qin her father, so why be so harsh?" Bai Yitang was a little displeased, "You teach her like this, and she can't see Jingyun. And Baolu, it might be more chaotic in the future."

Qin Wenyin shook her head, looked at the family of three on the window paper, and said, "If you don't plan things carefully, you will lose. There are too many people who want to kill our Qin family. Niuniu and Jingyun are the only blood of the Qin family. error."

Bai Yitang pouted, "If you don't worry, I'll take her to Jingyun and Baolu, let them keep her, find her an identity, pick her up, and Yushantang's adoption, Qiongzhou side. It’s enough to tell people that the child will die, so why do you need to be prepared for so much?”

  "..." Qin Wenyin said after a while: "My elder brother and sister-in-law can't bear her, and since the child is still young, it is better for her biological parents to raise her."

After hesitating for a while, Qin Wenyin couldn't help but ask him curiously, "Can Mr. Bai leave Qiongzhou?"

   "Is it difficult to leave Qiongzhou?" Bai Yitang asked curiously: "I've left a few times, and it's easy."

   So why are you willing to live in the sin village of Qiongzhou?

   Of course, it was because there was no vendetta here, and no one was bothering him. Of course, the more important reason was that he had a brainstorm and accepted an apprentice eleven years ago, so he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.

   But his apprentice is no longer in Qiongzhou, Bai Yitang touched his chin and wondered if he should go to the apprentice to play.

   Glancing at Qin Wenyin out of the corner of his eyes, Bai Yitang slapped the idea to death. Forget it, he promised his apprentice to take care of the Qin family.

   "Mrs. Qin, it's getting late, I'll take you back." Although Qiongzhou is no longer cold at night, Qin Wenyin is so weak, what if she gets sick because of the night wind and dew?

   Baolu is no longer in Qiongzhou. They have to travel a day to find a doctor in the county town.

  Bai Yitang forced Qin Wenyin to go back to rest, while Qin Xinfang and his wife in the room sweated profusely and coaxed their daughter, and gently put her asleep on the bed.

  The child cried a little bit fiercely just now, and even sobbed from time to time when he fell asleep. The couple felt very distressed.

   Qin Xinfang's complexion changed and changed, and finally said in a low voice, "How about I write a poem and send it to Tonghe?"

  Chen Tong, with the word Tonghe, is Qin Xinfang's best friend. For more than ten years, he has been sending things to Qiongzhou. Sending poems to him is no different from making it public.

   He Zipei and her husband are in the same heart, and as soon as he said it, she understood that he wanted to bow down to the emperor. Jing Yun said that the emperor was getting older and more and more nostalgic, so he took good care of him.

   When it comes to old relationships, who can match Qin Xinfang?

  He Zipei really didn't want her husband to be insulted by this. How proud were they when they went out to Beijing? But looking down at his sleeping daughter, He Zipei nodded.

  For the sake of their daughter, for her, they could endure any suffering or humiliation.
