Chapter 216 The words are amazing
Huo Yunchao's words were not shocking, and he kept saying it, frightening everyone present into speechlessness.
Liu Yamen had a question mark on his forehead. He wanted to ask Butcher Xu if he had given Huo Yunchao the ecstasy soup?
If Huo Yunchao hadn't been given the ecstasy soup, why would Huo Yunchao refuse this heavenly gift?
Butcher Xu also couldn't figure out the reason for Huo Yunchao's refusal. He asked directly: "Chao'er, what are you doing? Why do you refuse the reward given to you by the county magistrate?"
Huo Yunchao's eyes were clear, his speech was clear, and his logic was perfect: "Dad Xu, I am the legitimate son-in-law of the Xu family. I was brought home by you with a gift of twenty taels, so I must not accept the offer from the county magistrate in my own name." Reward! People in the Huo family will mistakenly think that I have the county magistrate as my backer, and I will no longer be willing to be the Xu family's son-in-law. They will not agree to Ning Niang being included in the Huo family tree."
Liu Yamen was the best at reading people's glances, and easily judged that what Huo Yunchao said was not false polite words, but the truth from the heart.
While he marveled at Huo Yunchao's original intention, he also wanted to ask Butcher Xu where he bought the ecstasy soup? The effect is so amazing!
After being amazed, Liu Yamen hesitated and asked Huo Yunchao: "Chao'er, do you know that if you hang out in the officialdom as a son-in-law, you will have no future?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "Of course, there are exceptions to everything. With your intelligence and talent, Chao'er, those unwritten rules cannot affect your future."
Huo Yunchao acted extremely confident, with a look on his face that if he was extremely smart, he would definitely achieve something. He patted his chest and said, "Uncle Liu, with my ability to produce four stones of rice per mu,
, is it enough to be granted an official title? Even if my achievements are not enough to be awarded an official title, if I continue to work hard and work hard for ten or eight years, maybe I will be? "
Liu Yamen: This guy really dares to brag!
He then thought again, Huo Yunchao's achievements were in front of him. County Magistrate Chen was full of praise for Huo Yunchao. He not only took the initiative to use family power to clear Huo Yunchao's name, but also used his own money to reward Huo Yunchao with ten acres of fertile land!
Magistrate Chen pays so much attention to Huo Yunchao, and has the protection of the wealthy Chen family. Even if he is the Xu family's adopted son-in-law, who is looked down upon by others, Huo Yunchao has a high probability of being able to break through many obstacles and become a master. !
Thinking of this, Liu Yamen immediately lost his arrogance and responded sincerely and enthusiastically: "That's right! Uncle Liu is ashamed that Chao'er can have such confidence."
The increase in grain production is a great achievement worthy of national celebration, and it is no worse than anything else. When the imperial court rewards it, if it is not enough, Huo Yunchao will be given an official title. If Huo Yunchao is lucky enough, he might even get a title.
Originally, Butcher Xu and others felt that Huo Yunchao's reaction was too abnormal. It was not until they heard the conversation between him and Liu Yamen that Butcher Xu realized: "Chao'er, you, why are you doing this? Father Xu believes in you and doesn't need you. Use this extreme method to prove yourself again. As long as you are willing, Father Xu will immediately invite someone to come to the house tomorrow to remove your status as a son-in-law."
Unexpectedly, Huo Yunchao had a determined expression on his face and said to Butcher Xu: "Dad Xu, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore! I told you that if the court wants a reward, it will definitely send someone to investigate my details. .I recommended myself as my wife
It's such a big fuss, you can't just ignore it now. Father Xu, don’t forget, our enemies, the Zhou family, are not dead yet. If we cause trouble, the bastards of the Zhou family will get the handle... That will really turn a good thing into a bad thing, and even affect everyone. . Father Xu, we can't take this risk, and there is no need to take it. I don't think there's anything shameful about marrying into my wife, nor do I think that after marrying into my wife, I can suck your and Ning Niang's blood with peace of mind, just sit back and wait for you to support me. I'm not that kind of person and can't do that kind of thing. "
Xu Ning was already extremely moved, but when she heard what Huo Yunchao said to her father, she was even more excited. Her eyes were wet and tears were rolling back and forth in her eyes. She knew that Huo Yunchao made such a puzzling decision not only to keep his promise, but also for the sake of their father and daughter.
Liu Yamen tried to persuade him. He found out how powerful the Chen family was, and Huo Yunchao's worries would not be taken seriously at all. But out of selfish motives, he kept half of the words in his mouth, "Chao'er, you really need to think clearly. Before the court sends anyone down to investigate, we can take care of everything and make preparations in advance."
Huo Yunchao said half-seriously: "No, no! Uncle Liu, we can't take such a big risk! If we make a mistake, it will rise to the crime of deceiving the emperor, and even destroy the nine tribes!"
Speaking of this, Butcher Xu and others did not persuade Huo Yunchao to change his mind, and walked towards Xu's house one by one with worries.
Huo Yunchao quietly took Xu Ning's hand and whispered in her ear: "Madam, please stop crying. We can't lose those ten acres of fertile land."
Xu Ning glared angrily
He glanced: "Why am I crying for those ten acres of fertile land?"
In the afternoon of the same day, County Magistrate Chen received Liu Yamen's report. He already admired Huo Yunchao very much, and his appreciation doubled when he heard Huo Yunchao's statement. He slapped his head and rewarded Huo Yunchao with ten more acres of thin farmland, making a total of twenty acres. Land is worth far more than a hundred taels of silver!
Liu Yamen could not resist the conspiracy theory: Could it be that Huo Yunchao had understood the character of County Magistrate Chen and deliberately caused this? Is he really that smart? Do you understand human nature to this extent? So where are the Xu family's father and daughter his opponents? Even if the guarantee is not enough, he will be sold one day and help Huo Yunchao count the money!
Liu Yamen thought for a while and decided not to admit that he was envious, jealous, and hateful towards Butcher Xu, and he did not regard County Magistrate Chen as a pure-bred scapegoat. He was simply worried that the Xu family and his daughter would be manipulated by Huo Yunchao.
After all, if Huo Yunchao really counts as many as ten steps as he guessed, and even dares to plot against County Magistrate Chen, Liu Yamen's worries are not unreasonable.
Before dawn the next day, Huo Yunchao, accompanied by Xu Ning and his two fathers, took an ox cart to see Magistrate Chen.
County magistrate Chen was not at the county government office, but he left a message specifically for Huo Yunchao, praising him as a man who valued love and justice and kept his promises. He asked Liu Yamen to transfer the land deeds of ten acres of fertile land and ten acres of thin land to Huo Yunchao, saying that he would He and Xu Ning farmed hard and tried their best to increase food production. Whether they needed grain, fertilizer or manpower, just ask him for whatever they needed.
Of course, County Magistrate Chen had his own requirements. He asked Huo Yunchao to make a detailed planting plan to explain what he was going to do.
How to use these twenty acres of land, how to allocate manpower and resources for his use.
The request made by County Magistrate Chen was not a request at all. Even if he did not mention it, Huo Yunchao would have written up the planting plan for the twenty acres of land and submitted it to Magistrate Chen for approval. At least during County Magistrate Chen's term, Huo Yunchao would write a detailed and specific report and submit it every quarter.
at least
