Chapter 121: Doufu
In the face of Chai Huangzhou's obvious help, Du Jia said unhurriedly: "What Master Chai said is, it is a coincidence, the gift I prepared is exactly the same as that of Wanchun Gongzi, but we are all real people, and we will not play any lip service to entertain others, come on, bring the gift to Master Chai to see, and let Wanchun Gongzi shut up." ”
Shi Qian agreed, immediately beckoned back, a few entourages respectfully or holding or carrying a few golden boxes came in, and then carefully placed in front of the Chai Huangzhou couple and opened, only to see that it was one hundred taels of red gold, one thousand taels of official silver, a pair of dragon and phoenix auspicious jade, a set of lion rolling hydrangea jade pen holders, a set of Xinfeng Xiang pure gold top jewelry, a box of Suzhou first-class embroidery and a number of things, and what Chai Wanchun said before.
A large piece of treasure was placed here, and everyone's eyes were straight, Chai Wanchun immediately jumped up and pointed at Du Jia after taking a closer look: "These are all things I brought, it turned out that you sent someone to steal them, I didn't expect you to be a thief, I, I, I. ”
He originally wanted to say that I was going to clean you up fiercely and let you know how powerful this son was, but he suddenly remembered that he was definitely not Du Jia's opponent, so he could only hold back this cruel sentence stubbornly, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
Du Jia smiled calmly: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, you said that this thing is yours, can there be your name on it?" Could it be that all the red money and silver belong to your family? ”
Wu Song Shiqian and the others laughed when they heard this, Chai Jin couldn't help but laugh, he felt that he had never been so happy since this period of time, and the smile on Chai Wanchun's face was blue and white, he never thought that his two stunts of 'playing tricks' and 'fighting rich' would all fail today, and he was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
It turned out that Shi Qian had already been instructed by Du Jia, and quietly sneaked into Chai Wanchun's yard, with his skills, naturally no one found out, and then Du Jia deliberately provoked Chai Wanchun in front, the two sides were fighting, and the fight was turned upside down, and Shi Qian easily and happily got into Chai Wanchun's room.
You must know that this is not Chai Wanchun's mansion but Chai Huangzhou's allocation to him, so naturally there is no such thing as an ambush in a secret way, Chai Wanchun simply put those gifts in front of his bedroom bed, and he didn't think that someone could come here, let alone take the things away, so Shi Qian found these things without much effort and moved them all outside the house.
Then he found a few more entourages and quietly moved everything behind Du Jia, and at this time the courtyard was in an earth-shattering mess, and no one found out about it at all, and now it was completely put out.
Chai Huangzhou and Chai Wanchun are not fools, and they also want to understand what is going on at this time, but as the saying goes, catch thieves and take stolen goods, catch traitors and take doubles, after all, they are just conjectures, and there is no actual evidence, if Du Jia is an ordinary person, they can still forcibly take it, but now it has already been made clear that they are just garbage in front of Du Jia, and only by relying on the rules can he be suppressed, but it is not possible to act within the rules, which makes them all depressed.
Chai Wanchun gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a few gifts, what is it worth?" This son's family has a big business, these are just a drop in the bucket, uncles and aunts, and the little nephew decided to take out ten tilts of land as a dowry for Liya's sister, and hope that the second old man will smile, and the little nephew will let people bring the title deed over later. ”
Everyone was taken aback by his words, if you asked everyone what was the most valuable in this era, it is estimated that eight out of ten people would answer that it was a house, and if the same question was asked in that era, nine out of ten people would answer yes - land.
You must know that the land in those days was permanent and private, you could build a house on it or use it for farming, grazing, or even empty, it was completely your freedom, of course, ordinary people would not do such things, but rented them to others to farm, and those people became your tenants, and they worked tirelessly for a whole year, but most of their income went into your warehouse, so it is difficult for you not to get rich.
This is why in this era everyone has to desperately annex the land to become a big landlord, which is more enviable than having a lot of gold, silver, pearl and agate, at that time to describe the rich often used to describe the rich and the big landlord, but the two are not completely equated, the big landlord must be the big man, but the big man is not necessarily the big man, because with the land is equal to having a steady stream of income, and money may not necessarily be able to make money.
But at that time, land was not something you could buy if you wanted it, everyone lived here for generations, and only regarded land as the root of life, and would never sell it until the last resort, and it often took several generations to accumulate a large piece of land, and it was not possible to reach it overnight.
Therefore, even Chai Huangzhou was shocked when he heard that Chai Wanchun was willing to send ten tilts of land as a dowry, ten tilts is a thousand acres, which is enough to feed five or six hundred people, that is the population of a big Zhuangzi, in other words, Chai Wanchun is equivalent to giving a village under their name to himself, which makes Chai Huangzhou not moved?
In this era, the population of a big family like the Chai family is often tens of thousands, and food and clothing are a lot of expenses, and where does this money come from? After all, they are not court officials who do not have a fixed salary, even if the court occasionally rewards some, it is only a drop in the bucket, in fact, their main income comes from the rent and worship of the Zhuangzi in various places under their subordinates.
Just like there are dozens of large and small Zhuangzi in Chaihuangzhou, covering an area of hundreds of tilts, most of which are directly divided by Song Taizu in their Chenqiao abdication, and a small part is their various acquisitions in the following decades, and now I hear Chai Wanchun wave his hand is a thousand acres of land, which makes Chaihuangzhou how not overjoyed.
He secretly laughed in his heart This can be described as 'the cub selling Ye Tian is not distressed', he must seize this opportunity to bite to death, so that he can't change his words, Chai Wancheng, this old fox is not like his son is a nymphomaniac, he will never spend such a big price for a mere woman, and he will definitely regret it when the time comes!
Thinking of this, Chai Huangzhou forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said as quietly as possible: "This transfer of the title deed is a big deal, don't be impulsive, it's better to go back and discuss it with Brother Wancheng before taking care of it." ”
