Chapter 148 Li Family Sanniang

The next morning, Li Yanqing found the new patriarch Li Zhen.

Li Zhen has been particularly busy these past ten days, counting the family property and building the ancestral hall. He was so busy that his feet were constantly, but he was in a particularly comfortable mood.

"Yanqing, you are here just in time. I have something important to tell you."

Li Zhenshen mysteriously pulled Li Yanqing into the inner room and whispered: "I also got the news from the county yesterday. Li Wengui died of illness the night before."

"I died of illness, how could it be?" Li Yanqing didn't believe this statement a little.

"Actually, I don't believe it. It was Wang Shun, the head of Du, who told me that Jiang Dadao dedicated Li Wengui's wealth to Tong Guan, and then Li Wengui died of illness. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on, but they insisted that he died of illness. What can you do?"

Li Wengui died, and a poisonous stinger hidden in Li Yanqing's heart also disappeared. He said coldly: "Evil will be punished, and no one will pity it. However, the family wealth he embezzled fell into other people's pockets. It's a pity!"

Li Zhen didn't care. He felt that wealth could be created again, but Li Wengui's oppression of people above everyone's heads was gone, which made people feel relieved.

"Yanqing, you're looking for me so early, is there anything wrong?"

A sentence reminded Li Yanqing that he was indeed in trouble. Li Yanqing smiled and said, "I want to ask the patriarch to help me. I brought Uncle Hu's daughter back. She doesn't have a household registration now. Can I get a household registration in our village?"

"You mean Qing'er?"

Li Yanqing nodded, and Li Zhen was surprised and said, "What happened to Hu Sheng?"

"He participated in the resistance to taxes and was taken away by the government. Aunt Hu died in prison. Qing'er was redeemed by me, but I had no household registration. I want to re-naturalize her in Liwen Village. Is there any way to see if there is any solution?"

Li Yanqing made up a reason lightly, but Li Zhen didn't want to delve into it. He thought for a while and said, "Qing'er is ** years old this year!"

"Eight years old this year!"

Li Zhen walked a few steps behind his hands and suddenly laughed: "I think of someone, do you know Li Zhonger?"

A face that looked like the Loess Plateau immediately appeared in Li Yanqing's mind. He knew that this person was Li Zhen's cousin. His family was in the northernmost part of Liwen Village. He was from a poor family. He had a son named Li Xiaoyong who had received his own funding to study at Lushan School for two years.

"I know!"

"Li Zhonger gave birth to a daughter seven years ago. She died of illness when she was one year old, but he has never cancelled the account. Anyway, he has no land and does not have to pay taxes. I'll tell him, let Qing'er pay for this account!"

Li Yanqing said happily: "It's better to go now, it's better to go and talk to him together!"

Li Zhonger is a relatively poor family in the Li family, and her situation is slightly better than Li Daqi in the past. The whole family relies on renting 50 acres of land for a living. Li Zhonger is only in her early thirties, but she looks like she is in her fifties. Her skin is dark, her face is covered with deep wrinkles, and her hands are extremely rough.

When Li Zhonger saw the arrival of the clan leader and Li Yanqing, she was so panicked that she was at a loss and quickly invited them into the house. Li Zhen smiled and said, "The sun is good today, just sit in the yard!"

Li Zhen knew that his family was in a bad situation and didn't want Li Yanqing to see it, so she found two stools in the yard and wiped it with her sleeve to ask Li Yanqing to sit down. Li Zhonger went to instruct her family to boil water. Li Zhen waved his hand, "Don't be busy, just sit for a while!"

Li Zhonger stood in front of Li Zhen and rubbed her hands, looking very nervous. He was very worried that the clan leader would take back the clan field and would not plant it for himself.

Li Yanqing found a small stool and placed it in front of him, and smiled and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Li Zhonger sat on the stool with half of her butt, waiting for the patriarch to speak uneasyly. Li Zhen understood his thoughts and smiled and said, "I'm not here to take back your land. On the contrary, if you have the ability, I can rent you another fifty acres."

Li Zhonger seemed to be annoyed plastic man, and her waist straightened up, rubbed her hands and said excitedly: "If there is a cow, I can grow a hundred acres of land."

Li Yanqing next to him smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong will plant 100 acres of land! I'll give you a cow."

Li Zhonger was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, "How can I ask for Jie Yuan's cow? I can't!"

The cattle in the Song Dynasty were specially controlled by the imperial court. In order to ensure farming, the court strictly controlled the price, and the price was similar to a donkey. You could buy a strong cow for fifteen stakes. With Li Yanqing's current financial resources, buying a cow is a trivial matter.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Of course I'm not giving it to you for nothing, I want to ask you for help."

"What can I do to help Jie Yuan?"

Li Zhen said on the side: "Last autumn, when I cleaned up my household registration for the county, I found that you had a daughter named Sanniang in your family, but in fact she died six years ago. I was right!"

Li Zhonger didn't know what had happened, but he showed a look of fear on his face and explained timidly: "My family has always missed this daughter, so they did not cancel their household registration in time."

Li Zhen waved his hand, "I'm not trying to find you something. Hu Sheng from our village committed a crime and was arrested by the government. Yanqing rescued her daughter, but because he had no household registration, you happened to have an empty account here, so give it to Yanqing! I won't treat you badly. Not only will I rent you 50 acres of good land, but the rent of the tenant will be reduced by 30%. Yanqing is also willing to give you a cow. Your family's life will be much better in the future. What do you think?"

Li Zhonger thought about it and asked carefully: "Does Lao Hu's daughter want to live in our house?"

Li Yanqing laughed, "It's just a name. She lives in my house. We will express our feelings during the holidays in the future."

"There is no problem, I can agree!"

Li Zhonger left his daughter's household registration just a kind of nostalgia, but he did not expect that this short household registration would bring him huge benefits. For a moment, he was ecstatic and laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

At this time, a boy walked into the outside, about thirteen or fourteen years old, Li Xiaoyong, the son of Li Zhonger. Li Zhonger quickly waved to him, "Yong'er, come and kowtow to the patriarch Jie Yuan!"

Li Xiaoyong hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed to salute, "Xiaoyong gave the patriarch a reconciliation ceremony!"

Li Zhen laughed, "Good boy, get up quickly!"

Li Xiaoyong stood up, Li Yanqing looked at him and saw that he was of medium shape, wide shoulders and thick back, and very strong figure, which was comparable to Tiezhu. He looked honest and honest.

Li Yanqing suddenly felt a good impression in his heart, so he gave Li Zhen a wink. Li Zhen was so smart. He immediately understood what Li Yanqing meant and asked with a smile: "What kind of work is Xiaoyong doing now?"

Li Zhonger sighed, "This child is too honest, and his face is red when he talks to outsiders. He can only dig food with me in the field."

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "Let's do this! The county's grocery store still lacks a night watchman. He doesn't have much work, just carry goods every day and stay in the store at night, which costs 100 cents a day. Will Xiaoyong do it?"

Li Xiaoyong looked at his father with anticipation. Although Li Zhonger was a little reluctant, he also knew that his son had grown up and wanted to go out for a walk. He nodded, "As long as Xiaoyong is willing, I have no objection!"

Li Zhen smiled, "Then we'll make up for it!"

In fact, Li Zhen’s store does not need anyone. He understands that Li Yanqing has a crush on Li Xiaoyong and should have wanted to take him to the store in Beijing.

The two of them immediately said goodbye, left Li Zhonger's house, and asked with a smile: "Yanqing also thinks that Li Xiaoyong from their family is good, right?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "My father wrote to me before, asking me to take a few Li family children to the capital. I have been paying attention to this Li Xiaoyong feels pretty good."

"He has been honest since he was a child and was always bullied by my two kids. Let's not talk about it. Now I will arrange the Li Zhonger family's property book to improve Xiao Qing'er's household registration. In the future, Yanqing will take her to the capital. As long as she buys a house in the capital, she can move her household registration there, so that she can be seamless."

"Thank you, Uncle San, for your great help!"

After the two said a few more words, Li Zhen hurried away. Li Yanqing immediately returned home. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw two little girls heads next to each other, and Xi Magpie was teaching Qing'er to read seriously.

The Magpie has been following Li Yanqing for a year. She is smart and studious, and has a high understanding. She has basically read the Thousand Characters of the Thousand Characters and can barely read "The Great Sage of Monster Hunt". She is also very good at being a teacher. When she lived in the county, she taught Wang Gui and Tang Huai's maid to recognize words. Now a Qing'er came to her home, and she couldn't help but become a master.

"The character "Li" in Xiaoguanren is made of wood above and a squat below, so it is called Muzili."

"Is that true?" Qing'er wrote a word on the paper with a pen.

"The wood is too big, it must be as big as the top and bottom. I will teach you how to do it!"
