Chapter 163: Done
The Feng family did not inform Village Chief Zhang in advance, so they set off into the city.
The address left by the Fu family is not remote, and besides, people are now doing big business, and it is said that several large grain and oil stores in the city are opened by his family. I bought a two-entry house in Dongcheng, housing a family of more than 20 people.
Last year, when the moon was in wax, the Fu family made a big news. The fourth child of the Fu family beat someone at the corner of the street, snatched a girl back, and took a concubine. It caused a sensation in the neighborhood.
Someone reported to the official, and the messenger took Fu Laosi away. Master Fu was so angry because of this that he was now lying on the sickbed. The eldest of the Fu family came forward, dotted everywhere, and forcibly took his younger brother out, and the family was reunited for the New Year, but on the first day of the first lunar month, the concubine who was accepted was gone. The Fu family searched all over the city but couldn't find her.
Boss Fu and his younger brother said: "Run, run, don't make trouble, stay at home for me for a while, and when my father's illness is cured, I will give you a sum of money and then buy a girl to come back, clean and clean." β
Fu Laosi didn't know where the demon was, so he took a fancy to the little lady, and now he is looking for death and life here. didn't make Master Fu angry, regardless of his own illness, he struggled to get up and find someone to get a board, and taught this unsuccessful son a lesson with his own hands.
When Ping An found the Fu family's house, Fu Laosi was lying on the spring bench and screaming.
The one who opened the door for Ping An was a maid next to Mrs. Fu's family, named Ying'er. Ying'er is a maid who was bought later, where can she recognize peace. I saw such a big man standing outside the door, and he was born strangely and terrifyingly. I couldn't help but be a little frightened: "You, who are you?" Looking for which? β
Ping'an said: "Looking for your master, I have something to discuss with him." β
Ying'er thought to herself. Could it be that Aunt Xiu, who ran away on the first day of junior high school, came to find someone, seeing that this person didn't look like a good stubble, she was beating a drum in her heart, so she said tremblingly: "You wait." The door slammed shut again.
Ying'er hurriedly ran to tell her wife, Mrs. Zhong had no idea when she heard it, the things at home were messy in the past two days, and the New Year was not quiet. said to Ying'er: "Don't go and tell the master, the master is angry." β
"But I am afraid that the man will not go, and see that he is so tall. It's a fierce look on his face again, I'm afraid that someone from that family is looking for. β
Mrs. Zhong was worried about the master's body, and she was angry again, but she was afraid that her condition would worsen again. I thought that the person outside was just afraid that he wouldn't be so light, so he sent it away. After thinking about it, he said to Ying'er: "You lead people to this courtyard, quietly, I will see him." I'll deal with anything, and I'll find Li Hu and Li Wei in the front yard for me. β
Ying'er agreed. The two brothers of the Li family, the Fu boss, invited thugs from the martial arts hall to deal with those juniors.
After arranging a qiΔ, Ying'er went to open the door again, still timidly and said, "This master, please come in." Our wife wants to see you. β
Ping An thought. He's looking for Futianhe, isn't he at home?
He carried his things and followed Ying'er into the door. Ying'er led him to the path on the right. After entering the Hanging Flower Gate, I went to another courtyard. There are large plantain trees in the yard, but the plantain has not yet drawn new leaves. There is a plum tree under the eaves, and it is still fragrant at this time.
Ping'an secretly said that this flower is so fragrant, and he also planted two trees in the yard of his house, and Yunzhu must like it.
Walking to the eaves, Ying'er announced inward: "Madam, people are here." β
"Call him in." A somewhat old female voice came from inside.
Ying'er lifted the embroidered curtain for Ping'an, bowed down and asked Ping'an to enter. Bent over, he stepped into the house with one step on his long legs. I looked around, but I didn't see a person, where was the person who spoke just now? But he saw a screen standing in the room, and he vaguely felt that the person was behind the screen.
"Dare to ask what this master is doing in our house?"
Ping An respectfully said: "Feng someone came to discuss something with Master Fu, dare to ask Master Fu if he is not at home?" β
"Hmm." Mrs. Chung lied. She looked out twice through the gap, as if she saw Ping'an's figure, and secretly said that this person was born so tall, and I don't know if he is a practitioner, if it is really a fight, I am afraid that the Li family brothers are not opponents.
Mrs. Zhong said calmly: "What's the matter with finding our master?" β
Ping An said with a smile: "Our family plans to buy the half of the barren mountain in the back, and I want to ask Master Fu if he will change hands?" How much will it cost to sell? β
Mrs. Zhong was stunned for a moment, then she glanced at Ping'an, and said in her heart, who is this person, what kind of barren mountain, didn't I come to find trouble?
"Barren Mountain, where?"
Ping'an hurriedly said: "Aunt Zhong forgot, it's the barren mountain of your family in Huaishu Village, which has been barren all these years and has been barren." I discussed with my mother, I want to take over and plant some trees, it is also beautiful, I wonder if Aunt Zhong agrees? Ping An thought that Fu Tianhe was not at home, so he had to ask Aunt Zhong, and the family could call the shots if they wanted to.
When Mrs. Zhong heard that she was called "Aunt Zhong" and talked about Huaishu Village, she was mistaken. Hurriedly walked out from behind the screen, but saw Ping An standing there, slightly bowing his waist, looking respectful. Mrs. Zhong looked at Ping'an with a familiar face, but she hadn't been in contact with the people of Huaishu Village for several years, and she couldn't name her name for a while, and she was a little dumbfounded. I have already scolded Ying'er in my heart, a dead girl, which made me break out in a cold sweat.
"You ......"
Mrs. Chung really couldn't remember who it was.
Ping'an said with a smile: "Auntie, I am Ping'an of the Feng family." Your old nobleman forgets things, and it seems that he can't remember. β
"Peace?" Mrs. Zhong thought for a while before she had some impressions, and looked Ping'an up and down, she was indeed tall and mighty, but her appearance was a bit like the boss of the Feng family who had died. Nodding his head, he said, "Yo, I've grown so tall, I'm completely an adult, I can't recognize it." You were only a teenager when we moved out of Huaishu Village. β
Ping An smiled: "Not really." β
Mrs. Chung sighed, "This time flies so fast. β
It is a happy event to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, Mrs. Zhong was busy saying to Ping An that she was lazy, so she was busy asking Ping An to sit down, and asked the maid to bring tea. Served a good snack.
"Hey, it's really not easy for your family. Your mother has worked hard all her life, and she finally pulled your brother and sister up. Your dad left early. It would be nice if it was still there. β
Mrs. Zhong was very moved and touched, but it was all in the past, his family's life was slowly improving, and he believed that the future would be even better.
"By the way, you just said that you want to buy land, and that half of the mountain is not small." When Mrs. Chung said this. He looked Ping'an up and down, and saw that Ping'an was wearing an ordinary green cloth robe and a brown warm hat on his head. Xindao doesn't look like he's rich, so where did he get such a big breath? Could it be that their Feng family really turned over?
"It's not small, I just want to be spacious, and it's easy to raise a chicken or duck. Besides, it's a pity that it's wasted. Auntie, don't you say? β
Mrs. Zhong smiled kindly and nodded, and said, "I have to ask the master what he means about this." You sit down for a while. β
Mrs. Zhong opened her mouth and called Ying'er.
Ying'er, who was waiting outside, agreed and walked in, and Mrs. Zhong said to her, "You go and tell Master SΓΉ about peace, and ask for the master's instructions." β
Ying'er heard it nine times out of ten outside, and she also understood what was going on, and was busy reporting to Master Fu.
Ping'an still wonders, doesn't it mean that Futianhe is not home. Why is it here again?
Ying'er hurriedly told Master Fu about this.
Master Fu was crooked on the sickbed, and his chest was still aching. Hearing that Ying'er came to tell him about this, he said tremblingly: "Didn't the matter of the mountain be handed over to Zhang Xiaozi a few years ago, why doesn't he care?" Our industry is here, where can we take care of Huaishu Village, as long as his Feng family can give a suitable price, give it to his family. β
Ying'er went back and explained to Mrs. Zhong what Master Fu meant, and Mrs. Zhong already had an idea in her heart, and said with a smile: "We want to sell this mountain." The price is also negotiable, you weigh fifty taels of silver, and I will ask the master to give you the title deed. β
"Fifty taels?" Ping An was a little stunned, such a large amount of money, I was afraid that my family would not be able to make up so much for a while. It took so many ducks to earn more than four taels of silver, which is too far away from fifty taels.
Seeing that Ping'an was silent, Mrs. Zhong secretly laughed at herself, it turned out that she was still a poor ghost, and she couldn't even take out fifty taels of silver, so she said, "Why don't you go back and ask your family again, when will you get the money together and come to me again?" β
Ping'an couldn't sit still, and got up to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhong. Before leaving, he didn't forget to leave the sack that the family asked him to bring.
Mrs. Chung sent people off. She opened the sack and looked at it twice, but saw that it was just an ordinary thing, and it was not worth a few dollars, and she did not pay attention to it.
Safely out of the Fu family, quickly calculated the family's money, and now can take out, at most twenty taels, these twenty taels are taken, I am afraid that the back of the house will not be able to open the pot, and it is impossible to put all the money on this matter of buying a mountain. In the future, I will have to buy saplings, buy chickens and ducks, and renovate the house.
Ping'an didn't immediately go back to Qingtang's carriage and horses, but went around the city twice and slowly got an idea.
He ran to Wang Qingshan's brother-in-law's grocery store, just as the grocery store had already opened.
Ping'an told Brother-in-law Wang about it. γ
Brother-in-law Wang also agreed to borrow money, but there was a request: "In the future, your ducks will be sold to me, will it be successful?" β
Ping An replied briskly: "Success!" β
Brother-in-law Wang gave Ping An a silver ticket of fifty taels, and Ping An promised to pay it back by the end of the year.
Brother-in-law Wang is a straightforward person and believes in peace.
Ping'an carried this silver ticket and hurried to Fu's house again.
It was still Ying'er who opened the door for him. Ying'er was also a little surprised, this person didn't go long, why did he come back again? But I was kind enough to inform him.
When Ping An stood in front of Mrs. Chung again and handed the silver ticket to Mrs. Chung, Mrs. Chung was very surprised. In just such a while, Ping An conjured up a silver ticket, it seems that this kid has two hits!
Mrs. Zhong still looked Ping'an up and down, and said in her heart, she knew that he was so easy that he should have asked for more money just now, and now it is not good to change her words. So he asked the maid to send the silver ticket to Master Fu.
After a while, Master Fu asked people to bring the title deed, and Mrs. Zhong personally gave the title deed to Ping'an, saying: "Take this and go to the official office to prepare the case." β
Ping An thanked him repeatedly.
Mrs. Zhong left him behind again, and said peacefully and sincerely: "The family is still waiting, I'm afraid they will worry." There is also the fear that it will be too late to catch the right car. β
Mrs. Chung didn't say anything.
Ping'an held the title deed in his arms, and he also had confidence in his heart, thinking that he could give an explanation to his mother and daughter-in-law when he went back, and planned the future days, feeling that this day was rushing.
When he rushed home, it was already twilight.
Everyone in the family was worried about him, and everyone was relieved to see him come back.
Feng Lao Niang couldn't hide it and said: "When you were going to stay in the city for one night, I didn't expect to come back." β
Ping An smiled: "What is there to live in." When it's done, I want to go home, and I want to walk back. β
"Okay? What does the Fu family say? β
Ping An solemnly took out the title deed from his arms and handed it to Yunzhu's hand, and said with a smile: "Is there anything I can't do if I come forward?" β
Yun Zhu looked at the words on the title deed carefully, and smiled knowingly: "You are really good." By the way, you didn't have much money on you, why did you get the title deed, didn't the Fu family ask you for silver? β
Ping'an said: "How can I not ask for money, this cost fifty taels of silver." β
Mrs. Feng hurriedly asked, "Fifty taels, where did you get so much money?" β
Ping An smiled and explained to his mother: "I borrowed it from his brother-in-law in Qingshan, and promised to pay it back in the second half of the year." β
Yunzhu thought, I don't know if I can earn so much by the end of the year, but now that I have the title deed, I have finally completed one thing. Now it's time to plan how to manage this barren mountain. I only hope that with the efforts of my family, the barren mountain will become a mountain of gold and silver in the future, and I will get all the capital back, and I can make a lot of money.
Ping'an said: "I've seen the Lantern Festival, let's start construction, first open up the courtyards on both sides, tear down the house, and repair the enclosure." β
Neither the mother nor the daughter-in-law had any other words.
The family thought again.
After breakfast the next day, Ping'an went to Wang's house, discussed some things with Qingshan, and then went to the town again and asked where to sell saplings. I inquired about the place where duck seedlings were sold.
In the evening, Village Chief Zhang came. I was very unhappy when I looked at my face. Ping'an then thought about it, something bad happened, he didn't tell the village chief that he had already dealt with the Fu family, and the title deed was also obtained, but fortunately, the village chief would go to the city tomorrow and said that it was still too late.
"Village chief, you're here, I just have something to tell you!"
Village Chief Zhang's face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth to come: "Feng Ping'an!" You're too unauthentic! β
"Do you know the village chief?"
"I don't know, hmph, if I don't help you in the future!" Village Chief Zhang put down this sentence angrily, and it was very angry. (To be continued......)
