"Sister-in-law, please go up the mountain slowly. The little master is resting in the hut, and the little one is going to report it. ”

"Go ahead."

Dong Rong waved her hand indifferently and pushed the little girl down, Sister-in-law Liu saw this on the side, but she didn't take Dong Rong's words about buying a garden seriously, and thought she was a casual excuse, so she took her arm and praised with admiration, "Sister Rong, you are so amazing!" A few casual words made the man relent. ”

Dong Rong stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm also pretending, but fortunately, I didn't show my stuffing." ”

Sister-in-law Liu laughed, liking her straight nature more and more. The three of them slowly climbed to the top of the mountain, and happened to see a middle-aged man wearing a stone blue brocade shirt greet them. He probably didn't expect that the buyers would be three peasant families, and frowned a little suspiciously, but he still said politely, "Three guests, do you intend to buy the orchard?" ”

Dong Rong took two steps forward to return the salute, and then said with a smile, "If Master Chen's price is right, we will come to buy the orchard." If we can't talk about it, then we're here to play today. ”

This old man Chen is also a guest who likes to travel in the mountains and rivers on weekdays, otherwise he would not have raised such a garden for the sake of loving peach blossoms. It's a pity that the wind and snow can't withstand the world's deception, the Chen family's family business has been declining in recent years, and two shops were closed last month. In desperation, he wanted to sell the orchard and raise some more money to go to the south, hoping to find a good way to make money.

Dong Rong said this so interestingly, Master Chen laughed, and unconsciously looked up to the three of them a little more in his heart. He turned around and called the little guy from before to make tea, and then invited Dong Rong and the others to sit at the wooden table in front of the hut.

When the tea was poured, Dong Rong only tasted it lightly, Silly Zhu drank it as usual, and Sister-in-law Liu looked at the teacup stiffly and didn't dare to move. Master Chen's eyes flashed, and he sighed directly at Dong Rong and said, "This peach garden is really my favorite in my life, but I have encountered difficulties at home recently, so I have to move the mind of reselling." I don't know this... If the lady buys it, will she cut down the peach tree and plant something else? ”

Dong Rong was amused in her heart, this old man Chen really deserved to be a person who loved flowers and became obsessed, and he never talked about the price, but first cared about the fate of the peach tree.

"Master Chen doesn't have to be polite, just call me Mrs. Cao. I live in the village of Yimianpo, which is not far from here, and I bought the orchard because I wanted to take good care of it and support my family. So, maybe I'll make some adjustments then..."

Master Chen guessed the unfinished meaning of her words, and said with great disappointment, "I forced it, and I hope that Mrs. Cao will not be surprised." After speaking, he recalled the lively scene of calling friends to enjoy flowers and drinking every spring, and his eyes were a little depressed, and he said in a low voice, "If you don't see the peach blossoms in the spring next year, I don't know how many literati and elegant guests in this city will be disappointed." ”

Dong Rong's heart moved when she heard this, and a good idea instantly popped up in her mind. She squinted her eyes and thought about it, and couldn't help but smile, "Master Chen doesn't have to be like this, there are no absolutes in the world, maybe next spring, the peach blossoms will still be smiling in the spring breeze." ”

"Peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze?" Master Chen's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, good!" Cao Niangzi is really talented, since this is the case, this peach orchard together with ten acres of thin fields and a pond under the mountain only collects one hundred and twenty taels! I hope that Cao Niangzi will be good when she speaks. ”

Dong Rong didn't expect to save thirty taels of silver with just one poem, she was very happy in her heart, and hurriedly responded, "Master Chen, don't worry, if you want to enjoy the flowers and drink in the spring next year, just come over." ”

The two made an agreement between laughter, one was in a hurry to use the money, and the other was afraid that the news would leak and cause a storm, so the two sides hit it off, boarded the carriage parked at the foot of the mountain by the Chen family, and prepared to enter the city to deliver the orchard.

Sister-in-law Liu originally thought that Dong Rong went up the mountain today to buy an orchard seriously and also to inquire for the owner of the ice seller outside the city, but she didn't want to hear that this was the result in the end. She opened her mouth in shock, her heart was full of envy and jealousy, and she really didn't know how to react.

Dong Rong had already seen her look in her eyes, and pulled her with a smile before getting into the car, "I'm tired of my sister-in-law to accompany me today, I have to go to the city with the pillar at this time, and I'll talk to my sister-in-law when I have time later." I can't take care of this huge orchard myself, so I can't say that I will need more help from my sister-in-law in the future. ”

Sister-in-law Liu nodded stunned, and when she saw the carriage walking away, she suddenly slapped her thigh and shouted, "This Sister Rong has really made a fortune!" It's a hundred and twenty taels..."She had the heart to immediately find someone to tell her about the big news, but she quickly closed her mouth when she remembered the few words that Dong Rong left behind before leaving.

She figured it out, what Brother Ping'er's friends entrusted with the business, what helped take care of it, maybe it was all fake. The business of selling ice is Dong Rong's own, otherwise where would she have so much money to buy an orchard. If she goes back to the village to publicize this matter immediately, her mouth will be happy, but she will definitely offend Dong Rong. This is a God of Wealth grandmother, as long as you hold her thighs tightly, not to mention eating and drinking in the future, at least it is easy to earn a wage.

Thinking of this, Sister-in-law Liu gently gave herself two mouths, whispered several warnings, and then hurried home. Liu Dali was chopping wood halberds in the yard, and when he saw his daughter-in-law running back in a hurry, he asked, "What's wrong with you, but you were stung in the mouth by a bee?" ”

Sister-in-law Liu reached out and pinched her upper and lower lips, whimpered and said, "I can't say, you'll know in a few days." After saying that, she hid in the house, leaving Liu Dali like the second monk at a loss, and finally shook her head and ignored it.

Besides, Dong Rong and Silly Zhu went to the money village to get the silver bills of white flowers in the money village, and Master Chen also asked people to go home to get the title deed, so the two parties went to the yamen together and paid a percent tax, and Dong Rong's name was written on the new title deed of the orchard. She took it in her hand and looked at it, if it weren't for the fact that the ink hadn't dried yet, she wouldn't have kissed her hard. This is her first inheritance in this strange time and space, and her food, drink, clothing, and comfortable life in the future will inevitably come out of this orchard.

Master Chen was a little reluctant, and tactfully instructed those peach trees to stay, and then walked away with a sigh.

Dong Rong patted the deed paper in her arms, and with a wave of her little hand, she went directly to the market not far away, a live fish, a large piece of good pork belly, and two fresh bamboo shoots...

Soon, Silly Zhu's two arms were full, and Dong Rong returned to the small courtyard outside the city with satisfaction.

Dong Pingzheng was holding a book and sitting under the tree reading hard, when he suddenly looked up and saw that his sister was full of loads, he quickly got up to help unload things, and finally ran to pour two cups of warm tea. Dong Rong handed a cup to the stupid pillar first, and praised him with a smile, "The pillar is really hard today, I will make you braised pork for a while, and keep it if you like." ”

Silly Zhu nodded happily, and Dong Ping joked on the side, "My sister is really eccentric, the braised pork doesn't have my share, or my brother-in-law is blessed." ”

Dong Rong laughed and pinched him, and said angrily, "When did you learn to fight with your brother-in-law, don't worry, I bought three catties of pork belly, which can burn a big pot, so that you can eat enough." After that, she suddenly remembered that the courtyard seemed to be much more deserted, so she asked again, "What about Cousin Lu and Sister-in-law Du Juan, but they have entered the city?" ”

Dong Ping shook his head and responded, "No, someone in Huaishu Village sent a letter to them to go home and stay for one night." Sister-in-law Cuckoo wants me to tell you, and they must come back as soon as possible. ”

"Oh, got it." Dong Rong nodded and didn't care, tied a gray cloth apron, rolled up her sleeves, and plunged into the kitchen, the kitchen knives jingled and chopped like singing, burning the fire and pouring oil to fry and fry, but in half an hour, the small courtyard was filled with the aroma of food.

Dong Ping and Silly Zhu occupied the door of the stove room alone, looking in with saliva eyes, causing Dong Rong to laugh and scold from time to time. The two laughed, refusing to leave.

When the sun had completely set, the earth had lost the last layer of orange-red clothes, and a sumptuous meal was finally served.

The open clay pot is full of braised pork, there are enough mahjong-sized pieces of meat stacked on top of each other, sandwich a chopstick, the bright and dark red meat pieces on the tip of the chopsticks tremble, stuffed into the mouth only so lightly, the meat pieces are as if melted, the rich fat slides down from the throat, so fragrant that people want to swallow it together.

Dong Rong secretly laughed when he saw Silly Zhu and Dong Ping eating braised pork, and his chopsticks kept attacking the bigger clay pot next to him. Silly Zhu and Dong Ping were half-full in one breath before they realized that Dong Rong's goal was different from theirs, so they all looked at the clay pot. I saw a thick layer of grease floating on the clay pot, the color was bright red, and occasionally scattered with some crushed chili peppers and peppercorns, etc., occasionally when the oil surface swayed, a few white and delicate fish slices would be revealed, which was really tempting.

The two of them coincidentally put a pair of chopsticks in their mouths, and the sudden spicy breath provoked them to cough together, sticking out their tongues and shouting spicy, but the chopsticks under their hands were reluctant to stop.

Dong Rong laughed, and finally pushed the clay pot to the middle of the table so that they could feast on it, and she herself picked up some fried bamboo shoots to relieve the oiliness.

Soon, the family of three all ate a round stomach, Silly Zhu and Dong Ping teamed up to kill the pot of boiled fish, spicy and sweaty, but they shouted again and again with great pleasure, and finally threw down the mess on the table, hooked their shoulders and backs to take a bath. When walking under the old tree in the corner of the courtyard, Dong Ping suddenly felt a cold neck, reached out and touched it, and his fingertips seemed to have traces of water stains, so he wondered, "Hey, is it raining?" ”

Silly Zhu glanced at the leafy canopy, tried his best to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and urged Dong Ping to hurry up and fetch water. Dong Ping also felt that his body was sticky and uncomfortable, so he threw some doubts behind his head, and hurriedly took out the bathtub, bath beans and other things.

Dong Rong lowered her head to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, listening to the occasional laughter from the front yard, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was even warmer.

Speaking of which, Dong Ping is really a good boy. Not only did he not neglect the stupid pillar these days, but he took care of it very carefully. A small part of the reason for this is naturally because of her sister, he hopes that Silly Zhu can treat his sister better even if he sees his affection, but most of the reason is that this child is kind and sincere by nature, and will not be contemptuous because of the defects of others. Good people in the capital have good rewards, and God must definitely give him a smooth and smooth future. ZM
