Seeing his son ask why he didn't ask the good official if he didn't suffer a loss, Shan Chixia took the opportunity to wipe her face, stared at her son with her eyes narrowed, "I Shan Chixia taught it, if I can't walk sideways in Ningbo, I am embarrassed to call Zhejiang the first swordsmanship." ”

Later, Xiaoqian spit out the tip of her tongue, and said in her heart that this Chixia master is really majestic and murderous, Zhejiang soldier swordsmanship is the first, and it sounds more magnificent than Miss's first lady in Zhejiang, oops! I don't know if Miss will be angry if she knows that I was given away by my master!

After laughing for a while, the obedient official told the owner of Yan that he was going to sell a house and Xiao Qian, Shan Chixia looked at Xiao Qian, his eyes were sharp, Xiao Qian was swept by his eyes, and felt as if he was swept by a sword, and subconsciously lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at it.

"My Zheng family doesn't have too many rules, but you have to keep in mind, don't lose the face of the young master, otherwise you will ......" Shan Chixia said slowly to Xiaoqian, this is to remind her, after all, the matter of painting a fan has a shadow in the hearts of everyone in the Zheng family.

"The maid is born as the young master's person, and death is the young master's ghost......" Xiao Qian quickly knelt down and swore that she had observed these days that this Chixia master was quite authoritative in the Zheng family, and even the young master had to respect his opinion. However, this is a bit strange, hearing that the ears are even more strange, the obedient official feels crying and laughing, what is life is my person and death is my ghost, it is like life and death, he stretched out his hand and dragged her up, looked at her double snails, there seemed to be timidity between her eyebrows, and suddenly asked, "Xiaoqian, I haven't asked what your surname is?" ”

"The maid used to have the surname of the young lady." Xiao Qian said timidly.

"In the future, the surname Nie Ba!" The good official almost opened his mouth with the big head, and then the good officer laughed, and reflexively stretched out his arm to strangle the big head's head, "Wow! Dare to grab lines from the young master. ”

Shan Chixia looked at the two of them hugging each other, and couldn't help but remember that he was in the army with Qi Shaobao to conquer the soil and sweat, and was shot through the thigh by a stray arrow, this thing does not complain, can only blame himself for bad luck, just like someone in the future who shot a rifle with a range of 500 meters, and as a result, an unlucky ghost a thousand meters away was hit by a stray bullet, which is no different from the [***] color.

At that time, Zheng Liancheng was still a young man in his twenties, the master who transported grain and grass, and he carried Shan Chixia back in the middle of a bunch of dead people, and the two of them hid in the east and east on the grassland for many days before returning to the garrison, naturally they had to be examined, and finally proved that the two did not pass through the Tartars and did not become deserters, but Shan Chixia was a little disheartened, plus he was a ranger when he was young, and he believed in repaying kindness and complaining, since he owed Zheng Liancheng a life, then take half of his life and pay him back!

In this blink of an eye, more than ten or twenty years have passed, looking at the way the two of them hugged each other, just like when he and Father Zheng went out of the Zhejiang Bing camp together, when he stretched out his arm to clamp Zheng Liancheng's head, he said a word, I will be a member of your Zheng family in the future.

Shan Chixia couldn't help but smile, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, okay, young master, you will be fourteen years old after the New Year, and now you are also a famous and status talent. ”

Belch! The obedient official let go of his head and hurriedly asked Shan Chixia: "Uncle Shan, can you buy the house that the Yan family said?" ”

Shan Chixia hesitated, but also considering that she was quite generous now, she took four hundred taels of silver out to buy a house, and the remaining few hundred taels could cope with it for a while, not to mention that there were some leather northern goods sent by those talents in Tianjin, and the little white horse could sell for a lot of money when she was really short of money, and the young master also wrote a book of lyrics, which could be sold for three hundred taels in Daxing, and two or three hundred taels in Ningbo!

Thinking about it like this, I felt that although it felt a bit extravagant to spend four hundred taels to buy a house, it was also necessary, so I nodded and said, "I'll go and see when I get off the boat, and if it's appropriate, I'll buy it!" lest the aunt and aunt and grandmother be angry because of the master. ”

Now that they have made up their minds, they will each clean up what should be packed up again, especially the manuscript, which must not be lost.

Waiting for the ship to slowly dock, the big head lay on the boat gang to watch the excitement on the wharf, in the end, the child's surname, felt that this Ningbo wharf seemed to be more lively than Tianjin Wei Wharf, and couldn't help jumping forward and backwards, Shan Chixia snorted, called him over to support Zheng's father, and then went over to thank the Yan boat owner and Yan Steward, and the food that people gave the Zheng family on the way was more than five taels of silver, and refused to accept their money, so naturally they wanted to be very grateful.

The owner of the Yan ship smiled and was polite to Shan Chixia, always some courtesy exchanges, no need to elaborate, at this time the ship was shocked, but it was docked, the sailors shouted and shouted, anchoring the anchor, dragging the rope, taking the springboard, and hundreds of sailors were busy.

The obedient official led the little white horse, and the head of the Yan family's boat, He Maxiang, saw that the gangplank had been set up, and hurriedly ran to the obedient official with a smile, "Little Xianggong, I will lead the horse for you, please first." ”

Smiling at He Ma Xiang, the good official took the lead on the shore, and at this time, a swarm of more than a dozen coachmen rushed over, shouting one after another: Little Xianggong, do you want a carriage! Twenty years of rushing handlebars, absolutely not bumpy, sent to Ningbo City, only 300 yuan.

Later, He Ma Xiang led the horse down the gangplank, waved his hand to the coachmen and shouted: "Go and go, don't see whose boat this is, do we still want your carriage from the Yan family!" ”

As soon as these soliciting coachmen heard that they were from the Yan family, they immediately dispersed, Ningbo's leading wealthy businessmen, where they needed their carriages, they had carriage shops on the docks.

After He Maxiang drove these coachmen away, he smiled at Zheng Guofan and said, "Little Xianggong, our Yan family has a carriage shop on this dock, so I'll go and call a carriage for the old man, and keep it safe." As he spoke, he gave him back the little white horse, and ran as fast as he could.

At this time, the big head helped Daddy Zheng get off the boat, and Shan Chixia took the luggage and got off the boat, and the owner of the Yan boat followed down from the boat, and Daddy Zheng wore a big brimmed hat covered by black gauze, and personally thanked the owner of the Yan boat, and after greeting for a while, there were two carriages running over, both of which were carriages made of hard pear wood, and the two horses were pulled together, and the one who drove the car sat on the wheel, and the waist pole was straight and straight, and it was a veteran style for many years.

At this time, Steward Yan got off the boat, held two pieces of paper in his hand, and handed them to Captain Yan, who looked at it, accused Father Zheng, walked to the good official, handed over the paper in his hand, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, look, if you think there is nothing wrong, let's sign and draw it." ”

The obedient official was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this is too inhuman! I didn't ask for installments, but I didn't look at the house and asked me to pay?

"Oops! Virtuous nephew, am I still going to lie to you? [***] grabbed his sleeve, "Look at it." ”

Helpless, the obedient official looked at the contract in his hand, and didn't see anything wrong, so he said that I, [***] Yan Dazhang, was willing to sell all the three houses outside Ningbo City, including the furniture inside, to Zheng Guofan, a talent in Daxing County, Shuntianfu, at a price of 400 taels of silver.

"Virtuous nephew, four hundred taels of silver is also very heavy, why bother moving around." [***] laughed, the butler next to him handed over the brush, [***] put the contract on the carriage next to him, wrote his name on it, and drew a cross.

Four hundred taels of silver is very heavy, so don't move around? The obedient official was really helpless by the strong reason of this Yan ship owner, thinking about the fact that people took care of him all the way, not to mention that he was also a wealthy man with a huge net worth, he must not swallow his four hundred taels of silver, and after a little hesitation, he took the pen, and also signed his name on it, and learned from the Yan ship owner, and drew a cross next to his name.

The corners of his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he stuffed one of the contracts to Steward Yan, "Uncle God, ask Mr. Chixia for four hundred taels of silver." Steward Yan's face was very strange, as if he was crying and laughing, as if he felt that his master had lost Yan's face, and four hundred taels of silver was worth shouting so much!

Shan Chixia and Steward Yan handed over four hundred taels of silver, and the owner of the Yan boat saw that the old butler had received the silver, and pulled Zheng Guofan's sleeve with a smile and said, "Virtuous nephew, come on, let's take a car." ”

He dragged Zheng Guofan into the car, and Shan Chixia helped Father Zheng into the car, Xiaoqian, oh! Now it's called Nie Xiaoqian, Nie Xiaoqian blushed, carrying a small package on her back, looking like a little lady who wants to go back to her parents' house, standing on the side a little helpless, the people of the Zheng family didn't have the idea of one more person in the family for a while, and the owner of the Yan boat beckoned in the car, "Xiaoqian, come on, come on, sit in your young master's car." ”

After packing everything into the car, Shan Chixia let the big head ride the little white horse, greeted the coachman, and the two carriages rolled across the dock.

The carriage came out of the noisy dock, the old housekeeper Yan shook his head, asked people to carry four hundred taels of silver back to the boat, looked at the contract in his hand, sighed, turned around and got on the boat, and when he got to the boat, he saw his young lady pulling the corner of her skirt and looking around, so she walked over and said, "Miss, don't look for it!" Xiaoqian asked the master to sell it to the Zheng family, and even the house in the peach blossom forest outside the city was sold to the Zheng family.

Miss Yan was stunned for a moment, then let out a scream, and said angrily: "What? Father...... Dad sold Xiaoqian? ”

Seeing his young lady's gaffe, Old Housekeeper Yan sighed in his heart, and said in his heart Fortunately, I didn't say that it was sent, otherwise Miss's voice would have been a little sharper.

There is a big difference between selling and sending, there is a compulsive interest in selling, Xiaoqian may not be able to resist, if you send it, Xiaoqian can say that I have been reluctant to part with Miss since I was a child, so I may not be able to send it away. Of course, this is just Miss Yan's wishful thinking, the old housekeeper has decades of experience in the world, and he looks at the cave with a cold eye, knowing that Xiaoqian wishes that he would be given to the Zheng family! Miss really thinks that the sisterhood is deep, and the master and servant are inseparable.

After Miss Yan let out a cry, she burst into tears, sobbing and muttering: "How can Daddy be like this, Xiaoqian and I grew up together since childhood, sisterhood is deep, and the master and servant are inseparable...... Woooooooooooo ”

Sisterhood? Is it difficult to separate the master and the servant?

Yan Gan saw that his young lady really said this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, alas! My silly young lady! You didn't learn Mr. Qingteng's skills, how did you learn Mr. Qingteng's infatuation.

Here Yan Qingwei was crying for Xiaoqian, but over there Nie Xiaoqian was lying on the window of the carriage looking at the scenery outside, her heart was like a lark in flight.

Along the way, [***] kept telling his coachman, saying that Mr. Zheng was weak outside, and the speed of the car should be slowed down, so he should be steady and not in a hurry.

The carriage walked slowly, the road is the official road leading to Ningbo Wharf in Ningbo City, although it is built of earth, but it is rammed very strong, and the wind and dust can not be raised when it is idle, the road is about five meters wide, willow trees are planted on both sides, and then go forward about two roads, there is a fork in the road.

This fork in the road is not built of earth, it is paved with fine sand and stones, and as soon as you turn in, the carriage is obviously much more stable, and the scenery on both sides changes, but it is a large peach forest.

The obedient officer looked outside the car twice, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. I walked for a long time along the winding road paved with fine sand and gravel, and even passed a pavilion, and the carriage stopped in front of a quaint house, and as soon as I got out of the car, the high wall of blue bricks was full of petunias, and the corners of the wall were mossy and blue, and a stream of elegance suddenly blew in the face like a breeze.

The house is really as Yan said, not very big, three before and after, very exquisite, you can see all kinds of flowers and plants everywhere, spring primrose, iris, caryophyllus, summer poppy, dragon head flower, nasturtium, autumn canna, a bunch of red, beauty cherry, winter daisy, winter spring, plum ......

"The old man didn't lie to you! The flowers of the four o'clock are not grateful, and the grass of the eight sections of evergreen can line your identity! Ship Master Yan was also a little proud. You must know that the flowers at this time are not like the later generations want to buy any flowers, those ornamental flowers in the park are not even picked, the flowers at this time are still difficult to serve, so it is generally described as a rich mansion or even a prince's mansion, are [four times without thanks, eight sections of evergreen grass], in the later generations any flower lover can get it complete, but at this time, it takes a lot of thought, ordinary people don't want to think about it.

The owner of the Yan boat led the people of the Zheng family to look at the whole house, and the people of the Zheng family were very satisfied, you must know that four hundred taels of silver is also a huge amount of money in the Ming Dynasty, this house is worth this price, if you count the furniture inside, even the Zheng family has taken a lot of advantage, so Father Zheng is a little uneasy, but the owner of the Yan boat is laughing, "Zheng Yuanwai, no, no, Brother Zheng Xian, you say this but look down on me, Feng Zhang wrote me a few words on the boat, according to Feng Zhang's talent, maybe he will be able to enter the cabinet in another twenty years, At that time, I will only be fifty-nine, take out the words of the elder of the pavilion and show it casually, look, twenty years ago the elder wrote it to me, and then the whole of Zhejiang will not admire my vision! ”

The obedient official was slightly stunned, he entered the cabinet at every turn, and he could listen to it in another way!

It took almost two hours before and after the house, Father Zheng was relatively weak, and he also knew that the Yan family probably wanted to sell it to his son, so he didn't care about it, let his son take the idea! Confess your sins, and rest by the side first.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, and the owner of the Yan boat was happy when he heard it, and got up and went out, "Virtuous nephew, this land deed has been delivered." ”

He Ma Xiang came outside, he called the Yan family carriage shop on the dock and rode straight to Ningbo City, arrived at the Yan family mansion, took the Yan master's handwriting, and asked the housekeeper to take the title deed of the peach blossom forest outside the city and Xiaoqian's personal documents, and did not drink a sip of water, changed a horse and turned around and ran outside the city.

Master Yan took the title deed and the document in the hand of He Ma Xiang, saw that he was sweaty, and patted him on the shoulder, "Ma Xiang, you are doing a good job." He Ma Xiang was praised by his own master, and his bones suddenly became lighter.

And Zheng Guofan took the title deed handed over by the owner of Yan and Xiaoqian's papers, and was dumbfounded at first glance.
