In the capital, in the alley of simple lawsuits, in a courtyard.

An old man with a goatee dressed in coarse cloth clothes and cloth shoes sat on a rattan chair, holding a pipe in his mouth, looking at Feng Youcun in a blue-gray forged robe, and asked after a while: "Is that you want to buy the Zhuangzi in the south of my Weijia City?" ”

Feng Youcun smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards the other party: "Second Master Wei is right. ”

Before coming here, Feng Youcun had already touched the bottom of this person, this person's surname was Wei, the second in line, 'Wei Erdou' was not his real name, but the nickname given to him by people, this person was quite scheming, loved to take advantage, and quite open-minded to go out, shameless, once because Erdoumi sued a relative of his family to the yamen, zuihou forced people out of the capital, so everyone called him Wei Erdou behind his back.

The guarantor next to him was Wei Erdou's nephew named Wei Shun, and he hurriedly interjected and smiled: "Second uncle, this Uncle Feng is from the south, and the price given is the best." ”

Wei Erdou snorted and laughed: "It's not just about price!" ”

"I know, I know." Wei Shun said, leaned into Wei Erdou's ear, and whispered: "This Uncle Feng is the housekeeper of the second-rank family of the imperial court, and I heard that he is related to Dinghou Mansion. ”

"Oh?" Wei Erdou's triangular eyes lit up, and his goatee trembled, "No wonder." The people who can buy houses and land in our Yundu these years are not ordinary people. ”

"Yes, yes. Ordinary people have to be able to afford it. Wei Shun smiled again and turned back to Feng Youcun and said: "This manor of my second uncle's family is left by the ancestors, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with more than 160 houses, 300 acres of land, and a large orchard. They are all good soil, good land and good houses, and there are hot springs in the mountains that can lead to Zhuangzi......"

Feng Youcun had heard these words all over the time, and he had already been able to memorize them, but he was still not in a hurry, and nodded while listening with a smile.

In fact, according to Feng Youcun's meaning, he didn't want to buy this Zhuangzi, because the price offered by Wei Erdou was too high, he had personally gone to see it, the location of the small Zhuangzi was good, but the house was dilapidated, half of the fields were deserted, and the tenants inside were almost gone.

If you really buy it, you have to spend a sum of money to repair it. But the master is in a hurry, and the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing is too sought-after, there is no way, and the more expensive ones can only be more expensive.

"Oh, I'm really reluctant to sell that Zhuangzi!" Wei Erdou stroked his beard regretfully and sighed.

Feng Youcun sneered in his heart, but his face was silent: "A gentleman doesn't win people's love, if Second Master Wei is reluctant, then he will leave." ”

"Hey! Ay! Wei Shun was busy making peace, "Feng Ye, Feng Ye!" Don't worry, don't worry! Let's have something to discuss! ”

Feng Youcun said with a smile: "I am full of sincerity, I came to Wei Erye's house, and Wei Erye still said this, obviously I don't want to sell it." In that case, I'd better go and see the Liu family's Zhuangzi again. ”

"Hey, the Liu family's Zhuangzi is in the north of the city! What kind of realm is that? Wei Shun patted Feng Youcun's hand and persuaded: "People say that the east side of the mountain does not live on the west side of the mountain, right, his Zhuangzi is just on the west side of the mountain, and he can't see the sunrise every day, this feng shui is not good!" ”

"I took a fancy to the Zhuangzi of Second Master Wei, but Second Master Wei was reluctant, I can't force me to buy and sell, right?"

"No, no! Say what to buy and sell! My second uncle didn't mean that! Wei Shun hurriedly turned around and asked Wei Erdou, "Right, second uncle?" ”

Wei Erdou hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes!" This Zhuangzi is to be sold. It's just the price. ”

Feng Youcun scolded Wei Erdou in his heart for being insatiable and shameless, and he beat him with his mouth, saying that the price was all agreed, and the master also spoke, and he couldn't add it anymore, Yunyun.

Zuihou talked back and forth, and Feng Youcun added another twenty taels of silver to the original price to get things done. When he signed and drew the charge, Feng Youcun couldn't help but scold this Wei Erdou in his heart, it was really fucking difficult.

After signing and postponing, Feng Youcun took Wei Erdou to the household department with the title deed of the grange to go through the relevant procedures, and Wei Erdou relied on the cost of five taels of silver handed over to the household yamen, and Feng Youcun pulled out Wei Erdou's ancestors for eight generations in his heart and greeted him again.

That night, Feng Youcun took the title deed stamped with the seal of the household department and rode straight to the Cixin Nunnery to communicate with Yao Yanyu.

At the same time, Wei Zhang, who temporarily lived in the courtyard of the prince of Zhenguo, also got the news that Wei Erdou had sold a Zhuangzi in the Zuihou family property that he had embezzled from the world and the sea.

The person who was ordered to privately check the whereabouts of General Dingyuan's clothing was the son of the old housekeeper of Dingyuan's general service, named Spear, who followed Wei Zhang into the military camp at the age of thirteen.

Wei Zhang listened to the spear explain the matter in detail, and Zuihou suddenly smiled: "You said that it was a relative of Dinghou Mansion who bought that Zhuangzi, but you can figure out what kind of relative it is?" ”

"Said it was from the south." The spear bowed, "The minion has already called someone to investigate." If the slave guesses correctly, it should be the maiden family of the third young lady of Dinghou Mansion. Among these in-laws in Dinghou Mansion, in addition to the second master's family in the south, there is only the family of Lord Yao, the governor of Liangjiang. ”

"Hmm!" Wei Zhang nodded, it is impossible for the second room of the Su family to buy a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and even if he buys it, he will not find a scoundrel like Wei Erdou. This man must be from the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.

"General, this Zhuangzi was sold like this?" The spear was a little unwilling. This is the Dingyuan General's Mansion was the most haode Zhuangzi, although it is not big, but the location is excellent, although it has been abandoned in recent years, but as long as you take a rest with your heart, it is still a good place to recuperate.

Wei Zhang chuckled: "The big seal of the household department is stamped, what else?" ”

"This ......" The spear was a little anxious, if it wasn't for the master's advance instructions to stay still, he could have made this deal happen? I've already messed up that old bastard.

"It doesn't hurt to sell it, just let him spit out the money that sold Zhuangzi."

The spear shouted anxiously: "General! Our family is not short of those few taels of silver! That Zhuangzi ...... That Zhuangzi is very rare, and it is not easy to buy it back. ”

"I've been leading troops all year round, and a general's mansion is not enough to live in? Do you still need to learn from those literati vassal elegance, what kind of villa to get? Wei Zhang's fingers touched a small thing and smiled slightly, and his mind was not on Zhuangzi at all.

The spear sighed helplessly and arched his hand: "If the general has no other orders, the slave will retire." ”

Wei Zhang waved his hand, and watched the spear go out before revealing the things on his fingertips, and looked carefully through the light.

This is an earring, red gold earrings, extremely delicate thin chains, wearing a turquoise ice jade droplet.

Under the light, the ice jade glows with a gorgeous luster, reflected in Wei Zhang's deep eyes, like a morning star, as bright and eternal.
