When I woke up in the morning, I found that the drizzle outside was hazy, rendering the scenery in the garden picturesque. It's a lazy day.

Xiaoyu was skillful, and in a blink of an eye, he combed Qing Shu's pretty, lively and steady girl's hair bun, and then took the rouge box and asked, "Miss, do you want to apply some rouge?" ”

Qing Shu looked at himself in the mirror, the pretty bangs with eyebrows, and a strand of hair on the left and right sides was pulled out of a smooth effect, which was attached to the sides of the head, and there were small beaded flowers pinned to them. A loose bun is pulled up at the back of the head, fixed with a plain silver hairpin, and the rest of the hair hangs naturally and smoothly on the back. If it were herself, she would definitely not be able to comb it out. She wasn't interested in applying rouge, "No, put it away!" That's fine. She felt that she was only fourteen years old, and it was not yet time to use these things.

Xiaojuan held a goose-yellow dark brocade summer shirt, "Miss, do you really want to go out in such weather?" ”

Qing Shu stood up, "Well, move quickly, I'd rather be sooner rather than later, this is the least respect for people." ”

Xiao Juan swallowed the words of dissuasion into her stomach and hurriedly changed Qingshu's clothes. On the other side, the little fish prepared an umbrella and a light veil for masking.

Su's mother came over and stood at the door of the outer room to report, "Miss, the carriage is ready." The young master was anxious and was already waiting in the carriage. ”

Qing Shu responded, thinking of how good Brother Yan was when he came back yesterday and read how good Brother Yan was, he pursed his lips and smiled helplessly. Qingyang is a shy and shy boy, he won't take the initiative to get close to strangers, even if he is familiar with Buyuyan, he is not too close, and he loves to stick to her sister.

What is abnormal is that yesterday he followed Bu Chong and Bu Yong into the forest to pick wild fruits, but when he came back, he followed Zhou Boyan who met for the first time, while Bu Chong and Bu Yong followed behind them with their heads drooping. She grilled the fish and handed it to him to eat, but he gave it to Zhou Boyan to eat, which made her stunned, but she forgot the embarrassment of seeing Zhou Boyan.

After returning home, no matter how she asked what happened in the forest, he didn't say, only how good Brother Yan was, which made her depressed. She shook her head, didn't think about it anymore, took the title deed of the Grange into her sleeve, and walked out.

Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu closed the doors and windows, held umbrellas in their hands, and followed Qingshu to the left and right.

Mother Su, who was waiting at the door, saw Qing Shu's dress today, and said with a smile on her face: "The little girl's family should be dressed like this, how beautiful it is." ”

Qingshu naturally knew what Su's mother was talking about, this was complaining that she had always combed her hair casually recently, and she was also simple and comfortable to dress, and she took all the good clothes before her illness as the bottom of the pressure box. The goose-yellow summer shirt I wore today, but the material was a high-grade Chu brocade woven with dark lines, and when I wore it, it was both beautiful and showed my identity.

In fact, Qing Shu herself didn't want to wear it out, but Su's mother had been talking since last night, telling her to wear the best clothes to go out today, so as not to be underestimated in the ancient mansion. In this way, Qing Shu followed Su's mother and wore this dress that was too ostentatious for the current status quo of the ancient mansion.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and Qingshu and Qingyang went out from the back door of the ancient mansion in a carriage and went straight to the Ruyi Restaurant in Dongshi.

The relationship between the rainy day, coupled with the fact that it is not yet time for the guests, the Ruyi Restaurant is cold and cold, except for the guy who runs the hall and the shopkeeper who sits in the hall, there is no guest in the hall on the first floor.

Qingshu and his party came to the door, and the guys greeted them enthusiastically. Qingshu had a light veil on his face, and walked in the middle with Qingyang, with Gu Qiang in front and Xiaojuan, Xiaoyu and Yuanbao behind.

Gu Qiang whispered something to the guy, and the guy hurriedly ran to whisper a few words to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was slightly fat, and immediately got up and stepped forward, personally took Qingshu and his party to a private room on the second floor of Ruyi Restaurant, and commanded the men to serve tea and snacks, and then withdrew.

Suddenly, someone came to knock on the door of their private room, Gu Qiang went out to deal with it, and quickly turned back, "Miss, the other party has arrived and is drafting a contract." ”

Qing Shu nodded, "You go and guard, I have prepared you to take a look, and if you think there is no problem, bring it over and show it to me." ”

Gu Qiang went out as he said and stood guard outside the door of the private room with the buyer's housekeeper. Moments later, he returned, handing over the contract he had drawn up.

Qing Shu took it and looked at it, it was the same as what had been agreed verbally before.

Fifteen thousand taels of silver bought one hundred and fifty acres of large grange and one hundred acres of small grange of the ancient family. unripe crops and vegetables in the field; The houses on the Zhuangzi, the chickens, ducks, cattle and farm tools are all owned by the buyers. After the transfer of ownership to Yamen, the buyer first went to take over the 100-acre grange, while the 150-acre grange took over on 15 July. The relationship between the big grange and its tenant farmers must be fulfilled this year, and next year's affairs will naturally be decided by the buyers themselves.

Qingshu finished reading it and handed it to Qingyang. She felt that although her younger brother was young, he was also a member of the family, and he would support the entire Gu family in the future, and he had the right to know and should know about the major events in the family.

After reading it, Qingyang looked up at Qingshu, "Sister, will the uncle be angry?" He only knew that his sister was going to work against his uncle, and he didn't understand the twists and turns.

Qing Shu laid out the proposed contract on the table, "This is left to us by my father, not for my uncle." Uncle bullied us and took advantage of us all these years, and it is us who should be angry. From today on, Xiaoyang must remember that he can be called uncle when he meets, but he must be clear in his heart that he is just a stranger, not our real relative, and we can't let him bully us in the future, and in the same way, we can't let him take advantage of half of our copper plate. ”

Qingyang obediently agreed, "Xiaoyang remembers." ”

Qing Shu picked up the brush he had prepared, dipped it in ink, and slowly wrote his name while saying, "Today I have to sell the grange, and my sister will sign it." When we have the opportunity to buy land in the future, Xiaoyang will sign it, and Xiaoyang will have his own land. ”

Qingyang listened carefully, saw that her sister had put away the pen, and with the mentality of helping her sister do things, she leaned over and blew ink.

Qing Shu's eyes were hot, such a well-behaved and sensible child, even she, a latecomer, couldn't help but feel sorry, what is the heart of Gu Ye's mother-in-law, who can turn a blind eye to the present? Since ancient times, the Gu Ye family doesn't care if she can explain it like this, but Qingyang is a boy, and he is the only man in the Gu family who can pass on incense, and the Gu Ye family also doesn't care about it, this mother, I really don't know what to say.

When the ink was dry, Qingyang looked up with a sense of accomplishment, "Sister, it's dry." ”

Qing Shu pinched his little face lightly, "Xiaoyang is the most powerful." And motioned to Gu Qiang to do something.

The seller and the buyer sat in the private room adjacent to the second floor of the Ruyi Restaurant, with their respective housekeepers running errands in the middle, and quickly signed the contract. Qing Shu got a copy of the contract, as well as a silver ticket of 15,000 taels of silver, and then took out the land deeds of the two granges and handed them to Gu Qiang, and asked Gu Qiang to follow the other party's people to the yamen to handle relevant matters.

After a qiē was done, Qing Shu left the private room and hurriedly left the Ruyi Restaurant with people.

Immediately afterwards, two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, walked out of the private room next door, looking dressed as rich and noble. The two of them hugged each other's fists, the short one went downstairs, and left the Ruyi Restaurant in a carriage, but the tall one went up to the third floor, knocked on the door of the restaurant owner's resting room, and walked in.

Inside the door, there is a spacious living room. The decorations inside are all precious, but they are only atmospheric, not extravagant. On the north wall hangs a framed landscape painting, in front of which a man stands with one hand behind his back, as if concentrating on the painting.

He was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, tied with silk of the same color around his waist, and stepped on brown soft-soled boots, and his dark hair was tied high with a royal blue headband, and he stood there quietly, exuding a sense of alienation.

The tall middle-aged man did not dare to speak, and stood quietly in the door.

After a while, the man didn't look back, "It's done?" The voice sounded very young, but it was cold and cold, and it invisibly gave people a strong sense of oppression.

The tall middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Yes, Childe." This is the title deed, and the small one is put on the table. As he spoke, he took out the title deed from his sleeve, took a few steps forward and put it on the table, and then retreated to the same place, "Make an appointment with the housekeeper and go over in the afternoon to receive a hundred acres of Zhuangzi." ”

"If you have any requests, just accept them and cooperate fully. Remember, before July 15, no one is allowed to leak the slightest rumor. The man said, waved his hand, and told the tall man to stand back.
