"I have a Zhuangzi in my hand and want to resell it, I don't know if you have any intentions?" Cai Hong took a sip of tea and asked, he also wanted to help her. Since he saw her for the first time, Wang Yueying's temperament has made him refreshed, as if he is an ancient immortal, otherworldly, untainted by the world, it is hard to believe that there is such a different person.

"It's just wonderful. I'm just about to buy a Zhuangzi, but I don't know where is this Zhuangzi Master Cai? "Wang Yueying has long thought about buying a Zhuangzi. In modern times, her favorite thing to play is farm games, watching her farm slowly improve and grow in the construction step by step, and her heart is full of a sense of achievement. And now there is a rare opportunity to have a realistic version, of course she will not miss it.

"My Zhuangzi is in Zhou Village, not far from Yuanhe Town. There are only two or three tenants in a small village with more than ten acres of land, but there is also a small mountain nearby that is also owned by this village, and the mountain is full of peach trees. Cai Hong said simply.

Wang Yueying was even more excited when she heard this, she didn't have much money, and the big Zhuangzi couldn't afford it, so a simple and small Zhuangzi was the best. And this peach tree is the icing on the cake, I can just make peach blossom wine, now is not the time when the peach blossoms are blooming. She pressed her excitement and asked, "I don't know how much Master Cai plans to sell?" ”

"Not much, three thousand taels." Cai Hong bought this Zhuangzi at this price.

"But I don't have that much silver taels right now." Wang Yueying wanted to say whether she could deduct it from the income in the future, but she was embarrassed to ask, after all, she had just signed an agreement.

"It doesn't matter." Cai Hong smiled, "I'll take you over to see it later, and if you like it, I'll pass it on to you." As for the money, it will be deducted from your subsequent share. ”

"Then it's settled, we'll go over and see later." Wang Yueying was already a little impatient.

On the other side, as soon as the shopkeeper Cai went downstairs, he ran into the old grandson who was about to leave after delivering the food, and hurriedly stopped him: "Old man Sun, don't leave yet." The old grandson was frightened and thought that there was a problem with the food he sent, and stood in place with his hands rubbed and looked at a loss, seeing that the shopkeeper Cai beckoned him to follow, and hurriedly lowered his head and followed behind him.

"Old man Sun, I heard that you were going to sell your body before, and today there happened to be a master who wanted to buy a subordinate who could sign a death deed." Shopkeeper Cai said as he walked, "I'll take you to show people." ”

When the old grandson heard Cai's words, he was stunned, and it took a long time to react, and he wanted to thank Cai's shopkeeper but didn't know what to say. ran to the shopkeeper Cai and knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed heavily.

Shopkeeper Cai saw that the old grandson was so busy helping him up: "You don't have to kneel for me, do things well in the future, just don't cause trouble to the master's family." After that, he comforted again: "You also know this master's family, it is the talented daughter-in-law of your village, Yueniang." ”

Although the old grandson also wants to know what kind of master it is, but thinking of his old bones, it would be good if someone wanted it. And I heard that these lords didn't like people to talk too much, so they didn't ask anything. Now when I hear Shopkeeper Cai say this, a heart is put in my stomach. I know the talented lady, she often rides her own ox cart, and always gives some more money, or gives some snacks to her little grandson. With such a master, you must do things well, and you can't let people spend money in vain. Thinking of this old face, a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time bloomed, his steps became brisk, and he followed Shopkeeper Cai upstairs.

Wang Yueying couldn't hide her joy when she saw the old grandson following behind Shopkeeper Cai, and when she saw that she didn't have a surprised expression, she knew that Shopkeeper Cai must have told him.

"Old man Sun, are you willing to sign a death deed with me?" Straight to the point, he asked.

"Yes, yes, my wife and I are willing." When Wang Yueying heard him mention him and his wife, she understood his thoughts. In this era, signing the death contract means entering the slave nationality, and he does not want his grandson to become a slave.

"Just sign a death contract with Grandma Sun." Wang Yueying saw that the old grandson kept nodding but her face was gloomy, and she knew that he was still reluctant to let go of her grandson, and she had no intention of breaking them up, "If your little grandson doesn't find a suitable job, he can come with him, he doesn't need to sign a contract, just help do what he can." ”

Only then did the old grandson completely let go of the big stone in his heart, knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Yueying constantly.

"Get up, get up. You don't have to kneel at every turn. Wang Yueying still can't get used to others kneeling and kowtowing to her, "You just stay at home first, don't sell the cattle, and bring them over later." If someone asks, they say they are doing long-term work in my house. ”

"Eh, eh, got it." Old Sun nodded in agreement.

"Shopkeeper Cai, you accompany the old grandson to repay the money, and go to the government office to get the death deed down." Cai Hong, who was sitting next to him, saw that Wang Yueying had already confessed, and opened his mouth to command.

Wang Yueying did not refuse, Cai Hong must have a reason to say this, since ancient times, those who have borrowed money and lent money are not easy to mess with, let Cai Shopkeeper follow to deal with it. After asking the old grandson, he took out 50 taels of silver: "Pay back the money first, and the rest will be your selling money." ”

The old grandson was stunned for a while when he heard it, took the money and wiped his tears and bowed deeply to Wang Yueying, he was selling his body to pay off his debts, and now he has extra money to sell his body, how could he not be moved.

"Go ahead, and do things well in the future." Cai Hong waved his hand and let them go down.

Wang Yueying saw that they had left, turned to Cai Hong and said, "Master Cai, let's go see that Zhuangzi." ”

"Okay." Cai Hong got up and said, "Then let's go." ”

The white clouds are faint, the spring breeze is slow, there is a clattering horse's hooves in the ears, the mountains are full of flowers in front of her, Wang Yueying looked at the sky with a smile, and hummed softly, "Flowers bloom for whom, spring goes to spring again a year, flowers say it waits for a person, helpless flowers fall, déjà vu swallow returns, in the garden, on the path, wandering alone"

Cai Hong listened with his eyes closed, but the voice and smile of his deceased wife kept coming to mind. It was also such a spring day, when they were young, they ran in the wilderness and embraced each other in the sun. A tear of remorse crossed the corner of his eye, so fast that he didn't even notice it, if not, if it wasn't for the beginning, he wouldn't be alone in this world, so that every time he saw her in a dream, there was always a thick haze between each other, so far Fang believed that there was a yin and yang separation in the world.

"Yueniang, do you say that there is reincarnation in this world? Can a person really be reincarnated? ”

Wang Yueying was shocked by Cai Hong's question, he couldn't have found anything, but secretly observed his expression, but there was a thick sadness that could not be dissolved, as if there was a pain that had penetrated into the bones and blood. Wang Yueying realized that something was wrong with him, probably because everyone had an unspeakable pain in their hearts. Thinking of Cai Hong's question again, if someone had asked her this before, she would definitely laugh at that person for being a psychopath, but now, doesn't her own crossing prove that there is indeed such a mysterious power in this world.

"Yes." Wang Yueying looked at Cai Hong and said seriously, "When I was very young, I heard a sentence 'You and I agree for a hundred years, if anyone dies at the age of ninety-seven, why not wait on the bridge for three years', the sky has eyes, and will not let the people who love each other separate, there will always be a goodbye day." She blurted out and said the lyrics of "Liu Sanjie", which may be able to comfort Cai Hong a little.

"The sky has eyes, yes, the sky has eyes." Cai Hong repeatedly muttered that the sky has eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and his expression was as usual.

"Sir, it's here." The coachman's call called the two back from their thoughts.

Wang Yueying jumped out of the carriage and looked, the land was flat, the ridges were neatly repaired, the fields were filled with water, a light breeze blew, the water surface was sparkling, and a few peach petals were fluttering. Looking at the mountain full of peach trees, the rows and rows are like beauty pageants, with enchanting postures and bright colors. This is really a paradise, Wang Yueying has been intoxicated by it, this is the manor she has always wanted.

"Yueniang, are you satisfied with this?" Cai Hong saw Wang Yueying's expression and knew that she definitely liked this, and asked with a smile.

"Satisfied, satisfied." Wang Yueying's chick pecked at the rice and kept nodding and said, "I hope Master Cai can cut his love." ”

"It's good if you don't dislike it." Cai Hong saw the figure running from afar, "Those are the tenants here." ”

Wang Yueying saw several middle-aged men, their dark complexion looked like they often worked under the scorching sun, wearing patched coarse cloth shirts, but they were all clean and neat.

"The owner." The four men who ran over shouted in unison.

"This is your new owner. Yueniang, they are the tenants of this Zhuangzi. Cai Hong pointed to Wang Yueying, glanced at them and continued, "You report your name to the new owner." ”

The person standing on the far left stepped forward and gave Wang Yueying a look: "In Xia Lu Qingshu, Meng Cai's Dong family is loved and manages this Zhuangzi." He also pointed to the woman and the young man who followed him, "Cheap in the family, dog Zhiyuan." Yu led the child to give a salute to Wang Yueying. It is said that each other is born from the heart, Wang Yueying saw that their family had clear eyebrows, and instantly had a lot of good feelings. Since Master Cai asked him to be in charge, this person should be capable, and he doesn't need to rush to change people, you can observe and see.

When the three people next to them saw that Lu Qingshu finished speaking, they began to introduce themselves. Two young men, Niu Da and Niu Er are two brothers, both parents died, Niu Da is tall and honest, Niu Er is a baby face and flexible. The two don't look like brothers at all, but they stand together but are surprisingly coordinated. Another older man is named Zhang Dao, his parents are still alive, his wife Lu, and he has two sons and a daughter.

Wang Yueying saw that they were all sincere, so she simply tapped two sentences: "After this Zhuangzi, let Lu Qingshu manage it, and the affairs of the Zhuangzi will be in accordance with the rules set by Master Cai before." Naturally, the rent will not be overcharged, but if I find someone cheating and cheating, I will drive him out of Zhuangzi and no longer give him tenants in the future. ”

After hearing this, several people nodded yes, Wang Yueying and Cai Hong took a turn in the Zhuangzi, and after having a general understanding of the size and geographical location of the Zhuangzi, they were ready to leave.

Before leaving, Wang Yueying instructed Yu to take the women in the Zhuangzi to pick some of the peach blossoms from each peach tree, wash them with light salt water and dry them, and wait for her to pick them up in a few days. Although Yu didn't understand why he did this, he didn't question it and just nodded in agreement, which made Wang Yueying feel very satisfied, and then turned around and instructed Lu Qingshu to take someone to clean up the pond near the Zhuangzi rice field, and wait for her to buy some fish fry in a few days and put them down.

"Owner, we have raised this fish before, but we can't raise it well, and the fry have turned a lot white." Lu Qingshu had also tried to raise fish before, but more than half of the fry of the fish had not been put down, and they were not fat.

"It's okay, I have some ways to raise fish here, and I'll bring them with me next time I come." You can raise it according to the method I gave you. "They only know how to put fish fry, and they don't know anything else, of course they can't raise fish well, but they have a lot of experience in raising fish.

Although Lu Qingshu was still not at ease, he did not continue to refute when he saw that the owner had said so, so he had to nod and agree.
