C5 Persuasion

Deng Dalang was quite satisfied with Second Daughter, who brought him a chair and a cup of tea.

However, his gaze landed on the first basket of leeks on the stairs and he couldn't help but frown. Had his family's Second Daughter gone back to her parents' house to plunder the leek?!

Dunkin Ling poured the water and drank it in one gulp. Only then did she have time to ask how she had the time to come back to her parents' home.

Dunkin Ling repeated what she had said before. Deng Jingu brought Deng Jinsuo over to call Second Sister, then turned around and left the East Wing.

"Hey, Jingu!"

She shouted, and Deng Jingu didn't know if he heard it or not, but wind started to blow under his feet and he disappeared into the East Wing.

"Four!" Are you better? "

This was the first time Lin Anxin truly cared about her after she had transmigrated over.

"My head is so dizzy that I don't have any strength left in my body." Her voice was a little hoarse.

Deng Jingu saw that there was no water in the bowl on the stool. He picked up the bowl and said, "Are you thirsty? How about I pour you a bowl of cold water first?"

"En!" Lin Anxin felt smoke was coming out of her throat when Deng Jingu said that.

It was probably due to the fact that the fever had yet to completely subside.

Deng Jingu quickly poured her a bowl of cold water. Dunkin Ling's voice came faintly from the yard. It sounded like she was blaming Deng Jingu.

Lin Anxin tilted her head, thinking to herself, She really wants to curse and swear!

After eating the water, Lin Anxin finally felt better.

"I, Second Sistersuo, am a talkative person, don't be angry." Deng Jingu took the bowl and put it on the stool: "I'll pour you a bowl of cold water later."

"Talking too much?" Isn't she afraid of going down to hell? " Lin Anxin cursed at her angrily.

He couldn't lie down even when he was sick. How heartless was he?

Heh, who cares, it's better to see if you can be angry now. Here, this is something I left behind secretly, I heard mother say that the medicine was a little too bitter this time, I took advantage of Father's inattention and intentionally hid it away with a piece of white candy. Next time, after taking the medicine, I'll take a bite.

Deng Jingu looked simple and honest, but he was actually quite shrewd.

Lin Anxin originally did not want it, but upon thinking about the herbal soup that could make her gall and gall, she could not help but furrow her brows and take it.

Deng Jingu could not help but laugh and comfort her: "You are sick, my mother has given up some Copper Coin s, and specifically invited the most famous man in the whole town to come here and show you, I think that the medicine must be very bitter, or else, with your character, I'm afraid you won't even frown."

Lin Anxin couldn't help but pout her lips. Was the original owner able to compare with her?

She was not as tenacious as the original owner. She could not retaliate, could not retort, and could still work hard to please her parents-in-law.

When she was in the modern world, who wouldn't be the daughter of a rich family!

"En!" Lin Anxin imitated the original owner's personality and answered obediently.

Deng Jingu still likes the original owner who has a quiet and diligent personality. Unfortunately, the original owner didn't have the luck to wait for Deng Jingu to grow up!

Lin Anxin sighed in her heart.

Deng Jingu was afraid that Lin Anxin would be bored lying in bed at home, so he picked up some interesting stories that he and Deng Dalang had encountered while they were travelling through the village and selling goods. He told them to Lin Anxin one by one.

This allowed Lin Anxin, who had just arrived in another world, to have a better or better understanding of this world.

This was a dynasty that had never appeared in history, it was called Great Zhou Dynasty, where she belonged to the Chuzhou Palace, a village under the Yanghee County. The Deng Family resided in the Upper Pool Village, which was separated by the original owner's home Xiatang Village.

She also knew from Deng Jingu that in the Zhou Dynasty, a string of money was a hundred pieces of paper, a string of money was a thousand pieces of paper, and a string of money was one tael of silver, ten taels of silver was one tael of gold.

In addition, Deng Jingu told her that, in fact, most people only used copper coins, and only those rich families could afford to use silver. As for gold, he had never seen it in his years with Deng Dalang.

Lin Anxin was curious, so she asked, 'Has he never seen those noble madams dressed in gold and silver?'

Deng Jingu said that he had seen many bronze and wooden ones, and he had also seen silver ones. In this entire ten miles and eight miles, he had never seen anyone wearing a gold ornament.

Lin Anxin thought that perhaps the Weights Town was due to it being too small.

However, she only thought about it in her heart.

Besides, when Dunkin Ling saw that Deng Jingu Li ignored her and didn't listen to her at all, she went straight to his small child's daughter-in-law's house after returning, which made her feel even more unhappy.

"Dad, Jingu and Jinsuo have grown up again. Jingu is learning this craft from dad now?"

Deng Dalang took out his copper pipe and slowly lit it up. He took a long drag on it and felt satisfied.

"Yes, it's a skill passed down from our ancestors. If he doesn't learn to do this, what else can he do?"

"Dad, I heard from someone that the taxes are going to be increased again. Is there anything that can be done about this small business?" I don't think I can find much money every day! " Dunkin Ling asked again.

Deng Dalang was unhappy and said, "As a married woman, why do you care about all this?"

Dunkin Ling was not discouraged and continued, "I was just thinking about Jingu and Jinsuo. I heard from my father-in-law that next year, our little bun stand will be taxed again. My father-in-law said that we should reduce the meat stuffing and add more vegetables."

Deng Dalang nodded after hearing what she said. He finally understood why she came to her parents' home to search for the leeks again.

"There's really nothing to be said about a mother's plant. This leek looks really good. After cutting some left and right, it can be replanted again."

Deng Dalang thought for a moment and said, "How about you tell your mother to dig some leek roots and send it to your parents' home. Let your grandma plant some of the leeks on her own so you don't have to run back and forth."

Dunkin Ling smiled in embarrassment. "Sure, Dad. I'll ask my mother-in-law when I get home." Such a conversation had already happened several times.

Every time she said she would go back and ask her mother-in-law, and there was nothing more to say.

Seeing that Deng Dalang was in a good mood today, she came closer and said: "Dad, Jingu needs to be taught well. Look, mother is busy inside the kitchen. He doesn't even go to see his mother when he comes back, he's just thinking about his adopted daughter-in-law."

"The boy is a diligent man." Deng Dalang said with a smile.

Dunkin Ling curled her lips in displeasure. "Dad, don't blame me for talking too much. If I had to say, what's the use of being diligent?" can be used as a silver flower? "

"This... "Of course not. It's Jingu's lucky chance that caused this calamity!" Deng Dalang's eyes flashed.

"Father, Jingu will definitely stir up the Deng Family in the future. If father does it for Jingu, why not think of a way to avoid it? As a big sister, I feel extremely sorry for him."

Just as Dunkin Ling started her sentence, the astute Deng Dalang recognized her.

He sighed and replied, "Why? Do you have some good methods? In the past, when Jingu fell into the water, it was all thanks to Lin Shunhee that we survived.

"It's a matter of the future, looking at this sight, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like it …" Lin Family were poor to the point of ringing the bell. In the future, if that girl and Jingu were to get married, wouldn't she be willing to go to her parents' house? I don't believe it. "

Dunkin Ling saw her father silently smoking, and said: "We, Jingu, are such handsome young students, and also learned this art from your father, who knows how many honest and honest looking people are watching us. Only your father is kind, why did you agree to the Lin Family then?"

"Siya has a good temperament and she's diligent." Deng Dalang couldn't find any other reason.

"Dad, it's not that I'm talking about you, but you've been going back and forth in the wind and rain all these years and you're all sick. Do you really hope that Jingu will follow your path in the future?"

If Deng Dalang had more ability, he wouldn't allow Jingu to continue doing the job.

"Otherwise, what should we do?"

"That's not easy to deal with. Our family has more female friends. With such handsome looks, I'm afraid we won't be able to get a rich and good wife."

"That won't do, we can't do that marriage repentance, your big sister even passed down the incense for the Lin Family." Deng Dalang immediately waved his hand.

"Hey, dad, I didn't say I was going to break the engagement. Worse comes to worse, I'll just find a better wife for Fourth Sister and treat it as raising an extra daughter."

"Mother's distant cousin brother, Zhou Family, father knows how deep his family's foundation is, there are ten acres of fertile land in his family, and there are also five mu of lotus root pond. Not to mention the harvest of ten mu of fertile land, just five mu of lotus roots would be sold along with the big fish in the lotus pond, which would earn a lot of silver taels a year."

When these words entered Deng Dalang's ears, he knew that Zhou Family's family background was indeed much richer than his own.

Seeing her father not utter a word, Dunkin Ling immediately knew that her heart had been moved.

Then he threw out some tempting conditions, "Dad, Big Cousin Sister and Second Cousin Sister are both married in the town and have their own shops. Both of them will supplement our parents' families from time to time, and our aunt said that as long as we agree, we can get Fourth Mother to go away and have Jingu marry Cousin Yuvzhao. "My cousin also said that it was a red land."

There was also a kind of white deed, which was not recognized by the imperial government as being privately traded. Normally, such white deeds were fine, if they met someone who was shameless, they would pay the silver, and when they returned, they would report the buyer to the yamen, saying that the buyer had taken over his family's land, and at that time, the buyer would have to compensate the husband and the wife.

Deng Dalang had been a good man all his life and had more hearts than the stars in the sky.

Moreover, if the 4 mu of dry land was well cultivated, it could be converted into mulberry fields. At that time, the wife of the family could also raise some silkworms, and the descendants of his Deng Family could also be converted into farmers' records. In the future, he might even be able to enter an Elementary Scholar status and become an Elementary Scholar, bringing glory to his family.

If his family's Jingu really did get Zhou Yuvzhao to be his wife, then the land deed in Zhou Yuvzhao's hands would become the property of his children from Deng Family in the future.

Although four acres of dry land only required eight taels of silver, that was only on hand. The Deng Family was all dependent on Deng Dalang to support the family.

However, the taxes were becoming heavier and he had no choice but to make some preparations.

Dunkin Ling's words moved his heart, but Deng Dalang still said: "We cannot call others to poke at our backs, Lin Family is your brother's savior, after all."

"If we were to find a rich family for Fourth Sister, we would naturally not be able to talk about Lin Family. If the villagers were to discuss, we would only say that we are raising Fourth Sister as a girl. We are a kind family." At this point, Dunkin Ling continued, "Dad, why don't you come up with a plan with mom. Cousin has said that Cousin Yuvzhao is not young anymore, and in the next two years, she will definitely have a good wife. If it wasn't for the fact that she has taken a fancy to Jingu's temper, she wouldn't be willing to give him such a generous dowry!

This was the truth. Deng Jingu had a good character, was very straightforward, and he had a high reputation. Deng Dalang had high expectations for his eldest son.
