As soon as Pei Cai'er left, Tang Lu rushed out of a shady place like a ghost, and whispered in Tang Xiu's ear, Young Master.

As a result of this, Tang Xiu slapped him with a slap and hit Tang Lu's head directly: "Scared Young Master Ben, he came out so suddenly, you are dead!" ”

"How can the villain suddenly come out?" Tang Lu rubbed his head aggrievedly, and retorted with grievances in his mouth: "The villain has been standing at the door all the time, it's because the young master you were too engrossed with the young lady and didn't notice the villain." ”

"Huh? Have it? Didn't you? ”

Tang Xiu looked at Tang Lu suspiciously, and then looked back at the gate of the courtyard they had just passed, not to mention, when he passed by the gate of the courtyard just now, it seemed that there was something there, but Tang Lu was such a big living person standing there, how could he not see it?

"No wonder Uncle Shi didn't let me come over to disturb the young master at this time," Tang Xiu didn't think about the question, but Tang Lu gave the answer with a snort: "It is said that the young master has just experienced a new marriage, and he is tired of being with the young lady like glue, who is next to him, and now he won't take it to heart at all, I didn't believe it before, but now, I think Uncle Shi is not bad at all!" ”

"Like glue? Still me? ”

Are you kidding? Tang Xiu directly shook his head and denied it, although he didn't dislike Pei Cai'er, a little girl, but it was never to the point of being obsessed with her, Fang Cai must have been thinking about something and was in a trance, well, it must be so!

"Alright, don't talk about the useless ones." Not wanting to be so entangled in this issue, Tang Xiu waved his hand and asked Tang Lu directly, "Just tell me what is wrong with you?" ”

Seeing that Tang Xiu seemed to be in a hurry, Tang Lu urgently shut up and said to Tang Xiu respectfully: "Didn't the young master say that he wanted to buy a manor before, after a few days of investigation, he really let the villain find one." ”

"Where is it?"

Tang Xiu immediately raised his spirit, the current Tang Mansion was too small for him, although the housing conditions were good, but the available fields were far from meeting his needs.

Even if the vegetables are counted, the acre of land with the back house is enough to supply the needs of Xiangmanlou.

But what about these watermelons in front of you? No matter how well the matter of watermelons in the Tang Mansion is kept secret, there will be a day when it will be leaked out, if it is secretly investigated by some well-intentioned people, how can he have to have a watermelon field, right? Otherwise, how can we explain the origin of those watermelons when the time comes?

The old lady and Pei Cai'er didn't ask about the source of the watermelon, not because they didn't want to know, but because they knew that watermelon was no better than green vegetables, and watermelon was a tribute, although they ordinary people were not forbidden to eat it, but if the government or some royal relatives knew that their Tang Mansion actually had watermelons that were bigger and sweeter than the imperial tribute, would their Tang family be affected by this?

Of course, the Tang Mansion can also choose to take the initiative to hand it in, which can be both famous and profitable, and if the operation is good, it may also be appreciated by the royal family, and the Tang Mansion will also follow the rising tide. But obviously, Tang Xiu didn't seem to be willing to do this, so Cui Shi and Pei Cai'er also tacitly didn't mention it.

Because Tang Xiu was the head of the family, Tang Xiu's decision was difficult for them to refute.

What's more, because this watermelon already belongs to the category of 'medicinal food' in their eyes, they don't know the specific value of these watermelons grown by Tang Xiu, if the value of a watermelon far exceeds those imperial tributes in the Western Regions, then how much money does their Tang Mansion have enough to compensate?

If the price is high, the royal dissatisfaction may even be reduced, and if the price is low, they will lose all their money, who will do such a business? Who would dare to do it?

Therefore, before the situation was clear, the two women chose to ignore it very interestingly, as long as they had to eat, it was enough, and as for the outside, how long could they hide it.

Tang Xiu saw all of their thoughts, so Tang Xiu had the courage to agree to Mrs. Tai's request for a watermelon a day, and he would say to Pei Cai'er that there were still many watermelons, because Tang Xiu knew that these two women would try their best to keep this secret.

It should be regarded as a test for Mrs. Tai and Pei Caier.

If they pass, they will still be Tang Xiu's relatives in the future, credible relatives.

If they can't get through, the identity of their relatives will not change, but Tang Xiu will never open his heart to them again in the future, and they will never want to know a single bit of some secrets on Tang Xiu's body.

Of course, if the watermelon matter really leaked out this time, Tang Xiu wouldn't care.

It's nothing more than that when the time comes, the planting method of watermelons will be taught, and when the watermelons in Datang are all over the streets, no one will pay special attention to the fact that their Tang family has watermelons.

But the premise of all this is that Tang Xiu must have a base that can grow watermelons and other crops such as melons, fruits and vegetables.

A private space that has enough land to cultivate, and can properly hide some secrets and have a certain ability to protect.

Datang's private estate is undoubtedly a good choice.

Just like the villas built outside the city or on the top of the hill in later generations, the private manors of Taiyuan City are also more and more concentrated, and all the people who live in them are some wealthy families in Taiyuan City, although they are located outside the city, but the protection of the periphery of the manor group is not inferior to that in the city, because I don't know who has such a big hand, and the barracks of the city guard army are directly arranged on the edge of the manor.

With such a super powerful security guard guarding by the side, even whoever eats the leopard's guts will not dare to make trouble inside.

"In the middle of the manor in the east of the city, the location is one top and one is good." Tang Lu replied: "It covers an area of twenty-eight acres, of which six acres are decorations such as real estate and flowers and trees, one acre is a pond, and the remaining twenty acres are all vacant land. ”

"What exactly is the price?" Tang Xiu was a little moved, and couldn't help but ask Tang Lu out loud.

"One price, 50,000 yuan!" Tang Lu stretched out a slap and explained softly: "In the entire manor area, there is only one that is going to move to Chang'an to prepare for sale because of the promotion of the proprietor, and the others are not fun at all." ”

Fifty thousand guan is not a decimal number, and the total amount of family property that Tang Xiu has lost over the years has not exceeded this number, so Tang Lu and Tang Panshi both hope to be able to use this number to shock their young master Tang Xiu, so that he will not be so wishful thinking about what manor to buy in the future.

With so much money, let alone 28 acres, even 1,000 acres of fertile land can be bought, and a fool would buy a manor that sounds good but is actually not practical.

"Fifty thousand?" Tang Xiu nodded lightly and said lightly, "It's reasonable." ”

"Fifty thousand is still reasonable? Young master, do you know how much 50,000 guan is, if all of them are replaced by strings of copper coins and placed at home, I am afraid that all the rooms in our Tang Mansion will not be enough to fit! Even when the master was still there, we never had so much money in our house? ”

Tang Lu was very surprised by Tang Xiu's bland reaction to the price of 50,000 guan, and thought that because of his amnesia, the eldest young master couldn't even tell the concept of how much money he had.

"I don't need you to talk too much about this, I know it very well in my heart."

50,000 guan is indeed a lot, how can it be converted into RMB to have about 50 million, 50 million to buy a manor is indeed a bit incredible for many people, but for Tang Xiu, who once owned more than one villa of 100 million yuan, 50 million really can't surprise him.

Tang Xiu said indifferently: "Besides, 50,000 guan is just the price offered by the seller, and I am afraid that there are few stores in the entire Taiyuan City that can afford such a high price." ”

"Since their proprietor is in a hurry to go to Shang'an to report on his work, there will definitely not be too long of a delay in time." Tang Xiu analyzed little by little: "And those wealthy families in Taiyuan City can't afford to pay the price they want, and most of the people who can afford it have their own manors, and they will definitely reduce the price in the end, let's not rush first." ”
