168 Lease the land

On the way, Li Changhai was also observing Yun Ying and the others.

Hu San's Li Changhai didn't despise him, and now he is even more sure that his previous family background should not be bad, otherwise how could he be indifferent when he saw the scenery of the Li Mansion changing his scenery.

Yun Ying's performance made Li Changhai feel even more incredible, looking at her appearance, it was no different from walking the field path in the village, and the more and more exquisite furnishings along the road seemed to her like crops in the field, and there was not even a trace of surprise in her eyes.

Fortunately, there is a restrained Li Huzi to prove that the Li Mansion is still a wealthy family in the eyes of the countrymen. I saw that he lowered his head and didn't dare to look around, but from time to time he heard him gasp or exclaim, and he was afraid of disturbing Li Changhai's calculations, so he quickly covered his mouth.

In the main hall of Li Changhai's courtyard, the ground is all polished and smooth blue-striped stone, and you can see your own figure when you step on it, Li Changhai and Yun Ying are looking at Li Changhai's instructions and walking to the rattan chair on the left; Li Huzi couldn't do it, he stepped on it and found his tattered clothes in the reflection, and hurriedly retracted his steps; Closed his steps, but there were more mud footprints on the ground, which made his dark face distorted into a ball, and he no longer dared to take a step, and the courage to follow Yun Ying all the way collapsed.

That's right! Li Changhai nodded secretly, Li Huzi's performance is what a normal person should have! People like Li Changhai and Yun Ying are not normal at all, okay. After finding this reason, Li Changhai's psychology was finally balanced, and the jade bone handle folding fan in his hand shook extremely happily, and he immediately did not force Li Huzi to enter the door. beckoned to the little guy waiting by the door: "You come and take this little brother to sit in the side hall of the wing room for a while, be diligent and hurry up with snacks and tea, and prepare some food for him when the kitchen comes." ”

The side hall of his courtyard is usually used to receive business stewards, what treatment should be given to the people there, and they will definitely not slack off or despise it, such an arrangement is not only convenient for him and Yun Ying to talk about things, but also not to snub Li Huzi who Yun Ying personally brought to the Li Mansion.

"Thank you, Li Sanshao." Yun Ying was very useful when she heard him arrange this, and today was also her temporary change of idea, so she couldn't just send Li Huzi, who was a coolie, to go first, she couldn't do that kind of thing.

"What are you talking about so much? But. Did this Steward Hu also go to the side hall to have some tea? As soon as Li Changhai raised his head proudly, he was indifferent to Hu San's eyes. Immediately, I didn't feel unhappy in my heart, and I had a bad idea to remind, "The master talks about things and people avoid them." ”

"It's better to avoid lonely men and lonely women, especially ......" Before Yun Ying could speak, Hu San swept Li Changhai's body with a look at the "obscene billet". Let Yun Ying's sentence of "no" be stuck in her throat. Smile to heart.

"What in particular? Are you saying that there is something wrong with Young Master Ben's character? "Li Changhai is only sixteen or seventeen after all. Hu San, who was not much older than him, stared at him with contemptuous eyes, and immediately messed up, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that this appearance lost his demeanor as a handsome son, and thought about it. replied: "Just like her, Young Master Ben is not interested." ”

Yun Ying really wanted to roll her eyes at the sky, this Hu San seemed to be sneering at everyone, if it weren't for his mouth, she would have done things quite safely, she would have thrown the "deed of sale" to him and left him to fend for himself.

"Well, I know I won't make you think much of it, but don't be so obvious. And you, Steward Hu, you said that Li Sanshao and I should avoid it, so what about you? Yun Ying straightened out the men's clothes on her body that were easy to wear, and said a word to them impartially. After making up her mind to wait for the house to be built, she rented some land to grow rapeseed, so she changed back to women's clothes and became a shopkeeper at home.

Lunch at the Lee Mansion is not luxurious, but it is also quite exquisite.

Who knew that Li Changhai hadn't had time to praise two sentences proudly, when he saw Hu San stop his chopsticks in disgust and said to Yun Ying: "Let's hurry up and get down to business, this meal is not as delicious as the one you made indiscriminately." ”

Yun Ying couldn't get used to the light craftsmanship of the Li Mansion's cook, so she immediately put her chopsticks very obediently. He nodded his head: "Indeed, Li Sanshao, otherwise you let the cook go to Zhenwei Ju to learn." ”

Li Changhai was originally annoyed and angry, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he touched his chin, "This is perverse, it won't be long before Zhenweiju is afraid that he will have to pay a lot of money to beg me to come." ”

Looking at his evil smile like a successful cat, Yun Ying remembered his eager expression when he saw Liu Da's shopkeeper today, presumably Li Changhai used some means. But none of this has anything to do with her, the main purpose of her coming today is just to ask Li Changhai whether their family's fertile fields are rented out or not?

Because the Li family's fields were afraid that they would not be able to catch up with the rice of the second year, they were sprinkled with lettuce after the autumn harvest, and most of the half year was wasted. Since Yun Ying beat the Li family's Tiantian idea, she asked Qiao Sanni and his wife. The people of this Lijia Village naturally do not know what to select, raise seedlings, transplant seedlings ......, plant rice every spring, and only start harvesting at the end of autumn, the yield is still frighteningly low, but the value of white rice in Tengyun Dynasty is quite high, and it is three or two hundred catties of rice per mu that makes people feel that the income is good.

Who knew that as soon as she said today that she would rent these fields for half a year from the end of autumn to the warm spring, Li Changhai asked her why she didn't rent them for a year.

"Can you rent it for a year?" Of course, Yun Ying wished she could plant for a year, before she planned to rent these fields, of course she would not come up to teach Li Changhai's family how to farm reasonably, but now I heard that Li Changhai offered to rent her for a year, but she was not excited, but fortunately, she was still sensible, and pinched her thigh and spread her hands very embarrassed: "I have limited funds in my hands, but I can't take out the silver money you used to harvest rice." ”

Li Changhai took the initiative to say that he wanted to rent all of it to Yunying, but it was not a moment, the 100 acres of land in Lijia Village were originally left there for the ancestral hall, and after the beginning of the year, his father would come back to move the ancestral hall to Asahi City, and the 100 acres of land would be sold directly in the plan, so as not to involve too much. Now Yun Ying said that he wanted to rent, and he wanted to sell it directly at a fixed price, but then he remembered Yun Ying's endless methods, and temporarily changed the sale to rent. Yun Ying had the intention to lower the price, how could Li Changhai not know, so he pushed the boat down the river and made a personal favor:

"There is a total of 100 acres of land connected to the ancestral hall and the old mansion of the Li family. After the beginning of spring, the ancestral hall will be demolished, and all the long-term workers in the courtyard will be removed, and if you can help me maintain the courtyard, I can pay part of the rent if I live for a few days occasionally. Besides, don't you still have a stake in me? After negotiating with the boss of the capital, I believe you will soon be able to make up the rent of the remaining more than 80 acres of land. ”

Of the more than 80 acres of heaven, more than 20 acres are rented by the villagers of Lijia Village, and Li Changhai simply lost the ownership of these 20 acres to Yunying, so she can continue to rent or simply sell them so as not to trouble.

After the meal, the two sides reached an agreement, striking while the iron was hot, Li Changhai simply asked someone to send pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the contract for renting the field. The contract stipulates that in the next five years, the Li government will pay Li Changhai money for 100 mu of land in Lijia Village at the price of 50 catties of rice per mu, and this price will follow the rise and fall of rice prices. This year's rice season naturally does not need Yun Ying to pay rent, that is to say, Yun Ying, the 100 acres of fertile land of the Li family, only needs to find someone to help take care of the courtyard of the Li Mansion is not deserted, and can wait until next autumn harvest to start paying rent.

Looking at the yard, Yun Ying immediately thought of Qiao Sanni's family and Qiao Wuni's family. After the Li Mansion moved out, according to Li Changhai, a large courtyard house would be vacated for the next person to live in, and the shantytown built by the Li family would also be removed because of the relocation of the Li family. In addition, there are not a few people who need to use nearly 100 acres of land, and these two families have a lot of labor together, and they are able to help with the work.

After explaining all the matters, Yun Ying said goodbye, she had to hurry back to plan the land well, now that the land has been obtained, she didn't plan to plant all the rice, and the various flower seeds collected in the Qishan Garden finally found a good place to take root and sprout.

"Young Master...... Young Master, Young Master Luo is here......" As soon as Li Changhai got up and was about to send Yun Ying and Hu San out, the little monkey pounced all the way in with a roar.

"Who did you say was coming?" When Li Changhai heard this, he couldn't take care of Yun Ying and Hu San, so he grabbed the little monkey's collar and asked.

"Young Master Luo, the little prince of the Asahi City prefect's family, Young Master Luo Songluo." The little monkey struggled to twist his neckline, busy explaining it to his master.

Li Changhai heard it clearly, and threw the little monkey away: "Please!" Looking back at Yun Ying and Hu San, with an apologetic look on his face, before he could speak, Yun Ying asked very interestingly: "Li Sanshao, is there a shortcut to the side door in this courtyard?" ”

"Yes." Li Changhai bowed his hand apologetically: "It's not mine today, and I'll apologize to the two of you another day." After that, he hurriedly called the little guy in the side hall to come out with Li Huzi, and ordered the little guy to lead the three of them out of the courtyard next to him.

After leaving Li Changhai's courtyard, Yun Ying patted her forehead regretfully, "Why did you forget to ask Yuanhui how the matter was solved just now." ”

Hu San knew that Yun Ying had been skillfully bypassed the topic by Li Changhai several times, and he had no intention of reminding him that Li Changhai was not stupid, presumably that Qiao Yuanhui would not get his wish so easily; With a long leg, he left Yun Ying behind, and Shi Shiran threw a sentence: "Why don't you turn around and ask?" ”

"The ghost is going to ask, what's the matter with me?" Having said that, Yun Ying still felt a little regretful. Li Changhai and Qiao Yuanhui's identities are too far apart, in fact, with Qiao Yuanhui's mind and appearance, if she is not so big-hearted, and there is Qiao Shishi's family who is worthy of her behind her back, she will live a very happy life when she leaves the Li family, but she has a high heart, so she will rely on the Li family, and I am afraid that it will be sad in the future. For this result, Yun Ying only felt sorry, but she would not sympathize, the path was chosen by herself, and she had to bear it whether it was bitter or sweet. (To be continued......)

PS: There will be a change before 12 o'clock, mainly yesterday I ran to the playground to release too much, and I didn't change it when I went home, I'm sorry everyone, I apologize here!
