"Kong Yingda? How did he get here? Zong Xiu frowned slightly, turned his head and said, "Everyone Yan, why don't you go into the house to avoid it?" ”

Yan Qingcheng sat still generously, and said disdainfully: "Why avoid it, let him in." ”

“……”

Zong Xiu was helpless, got up and went to the door to open the door, and saw Kong Yingda standing at the door with a smile: "Assistant Sect has really found a good place to live, haha, if I live here, accompanied by beautiful scenery all day long, I don't want to do anything else." ”

"Haha, Lord Samurai laughed."

Zong Xiu was snorting haha, while looking at Qin Huaidao who was following behind Kong Yingda, he understood how Kong Yingda had found this.

The gate opened, and the courtyard was unobstructed, Kong Yingda saw Yan Chengcheng made under the tree in the courtyard, and his face was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

Without waiting for Zong Xiu to explain, Yan Chengcheng had already snorted: "This mansion is owned by me, why can't I be here." ”

“……”

Zong Xiu rolled his eyes, how could this tone sound like he was the one who was adopted.

Kong Yingda laughed twice, for some reason, from the time she saw Yan Chengcheng, her expression was very unnatural.

He stood at the door, and did not enter the courtyard.

"Assistant Teacher Zong, I heard that you went to the Guozijian yesterday, and the old man thought that you were healed. Today, I have gathered all the masters, waiting to introduce you. However, I waited for a ring in the afternoon and didn't see you going, so I came to take a look. ”

Zong Xiu saw that Kong Yingda didn't know about last night's assassination, and he didn't bother to explain: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, Xiaguan occasionally had a cold last night and was unwell, so he didn't go to Guozijian to report." ”

As he spoke, Zong Xiu coughed twice.

Kong Yingda is old and refined, how can he see that Zong Xiu is pretending to be sick, he glanced at Zong Xiu at the moment, and then looked at Yan Tingcheng who was sitting at the stone table, and said with a smile: "Since it is cold, the assistant teacher of that sect has to be well recuperated." The old man still has something to do, so he will leave first. ”

Saying that, Kong Yingda didn't say hello to Yan Tingcheng, turned around and got into the carriage.

Zong Xiu shouted: "Master Sacrificial Wine walks slowly, and when the lower official has adjusted his body, he will go to Guozijian to teach." ”

Qin Huaidao hugged Zong Xiu, smiled apologetically, and followed into the carriage.

The coachman turned the reins of his horse and hurried back the way he came.

When the car was far away, Zong Xiu was about to close the door, when he saw Yi Cheng coming along the trail, carrying a skinned and bloody little lamb in his hand.

"Girl, you really bought ......"

Zong Xiu was speechless.

Yan Tingcheng said that he wanted to eat lamb, but he just wanted to find an excuse to let Yi Tingqing leave, so that he could talk to him privately, who knew that Yi Tingqing really brought a fresh lamb back.

Yi poured into the courtyard quickly carrying the little lamb, and said with a sweet smile: "It's just a lamb, and you can't waste a little money." Since Yan's mother wants to eat, she naturally can't be slack. ”

Yan Tingcheng said helpfully: "What, I did your boss a favor, can't I eat your lamb?" As he spoke, he walked over and hugged Yi and smiled: "It's still my daughter who knows that it hurts, and I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to eat well." ”

Zong Xiu: "......"

While laughing, Yi poured the packed lamb into the house, sliced it with a knife, and boiled it in a pot.

Yan Chengcheng finished eating, and mysteriously pulled Yi Tingqing into the house to chat a few words before leaving, and when he left, he said to Zong Xiu: "Master Zong, the matter is settled, I will order someone to send things tomorrow." ”

"Then I'll wait at home."

sent Yan Chengcheng away, and only Zong Xiu and Yi Chengqing were left in the small courtyard.

"Girl......"

Zong Xiu stared at Yi Tingqing, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, and was just teased by Yan Tingcheng, and his heart was also itchy.

Yi hurriedly put down the rag in his hand: "Is there something wrong with the son?" ”

"I ......"

When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, Zong Xiu didn't speak for a long time, and Yi couldn't help but wonder: "Childe is unwell?" ”

"No, nothing. I just want to ask how much money our family has now. ”

In the end, Jong Xiu still didn't have the courage to say it.

It's too small...... I can't do it.

Yi Qingqing is now sixteen or seventeen years old, although she is slim and elegant, but in Zong Xiu's eyes, she is still a little girl. He can't do that kind of beastly thing.

Zong Xiu took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart: "You go and see how much cash our family still has, and go out with me to do something later." ”

"Okay, Childe."

Yi turned around and walked towards the back room, but after a while, he came out and said, "Son, if you deduct it for Brother Jiang, there are only eight hundred taels of silver and ninety taels of gold at home." ”

"Well, that's pretty much enough. Let's go, go to Jiangjia Village. ”

Zong Xiu beckoned Yi to leave the courtyard gate and walked down the riverside path to Jiangjia Village downstream.

When he arrived in Jiangjia Village, Zong Xiu directly found Lizheng in the village.

In Jiang's village, there is an old man in his fifties, whose big name is Jiang Lian, and it is said that he also studied in a private school for several years when he was young and knew a few words.

When Zong Xiu and Yi fell in love with Jiang Lian's yard, the old man Jiang was lying on the mill plate basking in the sun, and when he saw that Zong Xiu was coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and asked his wife and son to pour water and take a stool, which was very enthusiastic.

Zong Xiu was anxious to carry out his plan to make a fortune, and said directly to the point: "Jiang Lizheng, this official is here to inquire about something with you. I heard that the Jiang family's Murata property is owned by a Beijing official, but I don't know who the Beijing official is? ”

"Huh? Why did Master Zong inquire about this? Jiang Jian asked.

"I'd like to ask him if he has any intention of selling."

Zong Xiu said with a smile: "Recently, I have a little spare money in my hand, and I plan to buy some industry." Brother Jiang Chen has a good relationship with me, I thought it would be better to buy the land in Jiangjia Village, and it would be convenient for everyone to get along in the future, right? ”

Jiang Jian was overjoyed: "Master Zong really wants to buy the land in Jiangjia Village?" ”

Zong Xiu said: "I'm here, and there can be a fake." And I can guarantee that after buying Jiangjia Village, there will be no tenant rent for three years, and the harvest will be yours. ”

"Really?"

Jiang Lian jumped up happily, like a hand with withered bark, and he didn't know where to put it.

This is in ancient times, the harvest was not good, and often one acre of land could harvest two or three hundred catties of grain, which was considered a fertile Tianzi field. The tenants have been farming for the officials and wealthy families who have landed for generations, and they have to pay 30% of the grain a year, and the rest is just enough to eat for a year.

If you encounter a natural disaster, you have to tighten your belt to get by.

Zong Xiu came up and said that he was exempt from the tenant rent for three years, how could Jiang Jian not like it.

He only thought that Zong Xiu was benevolent and righteous, and it was for Jiang Chen's sake that he had the intention of buying the Jiang family's Murata property, and his excited old face smiled like a flower.

"Master Zong, wait a minute, the old man will enter the city and talk to the adult. As for the price......"

"The price is not a problem! As long as it's not too outrageous, the official bought it! ”

Zong Xiu played a package ticket.

"Okay, with the word adult, the little old man promises to move the adult."

With that, Jiang Jian hurriedly ran to the ground to beckon his eldest son to get into the carriage and hurried to Chang'an City.

Zong Xiu expected that he would not be able to come back for a while, so he led Yi to go home at the moment.

On the way, Yi said curiously: "If the son wants to buy a field, why choose Jiangjia Village, near Chang'an City, in terms of fertile land, you should choose Wannian County." ”
