For fear that this would make Xiao Jiading unhappy. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiading laughed and said, "Slow down, although I have a wine worm, I am not too anxious to drink." Hehehehehe. ”

The girls hurriedly came over to help pick up the melons and fruits on the ground, wiped them on the placket of their chests, and put them in the fruit bowl in front of Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading smiled even more.

Nenzhu took a glass of wine, came back carefully, put it in front of Xiao Jiading, and said with a red face: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ye ......"

"It's okay! You also drink wine. ”

Nenzhu gave himself another glass of wine, came back and sat next to Xiao Jiading, looked at him gratefully and smiled, and lowered his head again.

Seeing that this little episode passed, Xie Cunzheng and Lu Xiangzheng were relieved and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to serve the food! The two sat on the couch on both sides of Xiao Jiading, and the scribe Lu sat at the end. Xie Cunzheng beckoned the three village girls to sit next to the three of them and serve wine.

Soon, the dishes were delivered. It is also exquisite, and Xiao Jiading is very satisfied that there are many wild meats such as pheasants, wild boar, grasshoppers and other wild foods that he likes to eat, so he ate them with great interest. Xie Cunzheng and Lu Xiangzheng were even happier when they saw that he liked it. After he had eaten for a while, he began to toast. This wine is also not bad, it is a local shochu spring wine in Yizhou, which can be regarded as a high-end wine.

Xiao Jiading waited for the meeting to speak, but he did not refuse to come, and the wine was dry. Soon, most of the big bottle of shochu wine was gone, and the three of them were already drunk. And the three girls drank less, but they were also full of red cheeks, and they kept eating and laughing.

Xiao Jiading knew that there must be something wrong with them inviting him to dinner, and he happened to have something to do with them. so that they may speak before they do, lest they speak first. But it became like an exchange, and he didn't listen. At the moment, he squinted drunken eyes and looked at Xie Cunzheng and Lu Xiangzheng. Said: "The two of you, it's very pleasant to be outside at night, why don't the three of us go to the bow of the boat to watch the night view?" ”

The two hurriedly agreed, got up and followed Xiao Jiading out of the hatch with a wine jug.

The scribe Lu knew that they wanted to talk about things, so naturally they would not follow, and those girls were also interested and did not follow them.

The three of them came to the bow of the boat, and Xiao Jiading looked at the night. Said: "You are all squires in the village, and you have a lot of land at home, right?" ”

The two of them hurriedly smiled and said, "There are some, hehe." ”

Xiao Jiading said again: "I don't know much about the land, but I'm curious, by the way, this barren slope and stone mountain should be cheaper than the farmland, right?" ”

Lu Xiangzheng and Xie Cunzheng looked at each other and smiled, and said, "That's more than a little cheaper, it can't be the same." ”

"Oh? How big of a gap is there? ”

"Barren slope. You can only plant trees, but you can't plant fields, and a large barren slope can only be equivalent to 10% of the price of a field of the same square circumference. As for Stone Mountain. If the location is not good, it will be cheaper, and it will be difficult to take one out of a hundred. ”

Xiao Jiading was determined. In this way, it should not cost too much money to buy rocky mountains and barren slopes on both sides of the strait. But he had to figure out the exact price, and asked, "The rocky mountains and barren slopes on both sides of the Jinjiang River." Buy them all, you think. How much is it worth? ”

Both of them were a little drunk, and they didn't think about the meaning of Xiao Jiading's question, Lu Xiangzheng said: "This worthless one, buy it all, at most a hundred times!" This is also because there are many trees on the barren slopes on both sides. If there are no trees, I am afraid it will be cheaper. ”

Xie Cun nodded in agreement and said, "If you discuss it with the landlord well, this price can be lowered, and I estimate that at most, you can buy all of them at most." ”

Eighty guan, that is, 400,000 yuan, plus the trees on the hillside, Xiao Jiading felt that the price was acceptable. He smiled and said, "Are the owners of those barren slopes and stone mountains willing to sell them?" ”

"What's not to want, this kind of place, it's best to sell it. Who wants to hold it in their hands. Sold it for money, and soon bought good land and even earned back the principal and interest. ”

Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "Okay, then please ask the two of you to help me buy all the barren slopes and stone mountains on both sides of the Jinjiang River in your countryside for me, is it okay?" ”

Lu Xiangzheng and Xie Cunzheng were stunned for a moment, and Lu Xiangzheng smiled and said: "Xiao Zhiyi wants to buy stone mountains and make money, right?" Hehe, the stone mountains on both sides of the Jinjiang River are worthless, far away from the city, it is really not a good place to build stones, if Zhiyi wants to run a stone quarry, there are better places than these places, we can help Zhiyi to find out, must make Zhiyi satisfied. ”

Xiao Jiading shook his head and said, "I bought the stone mountains on both sides of the Jinjiang River to carve some Buddha statues on both sides of the river, so as to suppress the floods of the Jinjiang River and benefit the local people." Barren slope, buy it and grow medicinal herbs. ”

When the two of them heard this, they were immediately relieved, and they hurriedly clapped their hands and praised: "So that's the case, since it's a carving, there's no need to bother with clothes, let's just do it." We helped Xiao Zhiyi buy it on the barren slope, and as for the stone mountain, don't buy it, isn't it just carving Buddha statues? Let's do it. ”

Xiao Jiading shook his head again and said: "No, this is my long-cherished wish, I want to do it myself, and I want to buy these stone mountains and carve Buddha statues in my place, then I am sincere." - To tell the truth, to benefit the local people, although it is the truth, but mainly for myself, I heard that who carved the Buddha statue, who blesses the most, you carved, how to bless me? ”

The two of them smiled a little apprehensively, and said: "That's that, that's good, then we'll help Zhiyi buy all the barren slopes and stone mountains on both sides of the strait." ”

Xiao Jiading said: "The price is according to the eighty yuan you just said, you help me discuss it with those landlords." ”

Lu Xiangzheng and Xie Cunzheng glanced at each other, and said busily: "This doesn't need to be so high, just ......, it's just twenty runs, and so much money can be bought." ”

Xiao Jiading's face turned cold, and he said: "The reason why I didn't directly talk about buying barren mountains and stone mountains just now, but asked you about the price, is that I don't want to take advantage of this!" As much as you want. I'm already very grateful that you can help me buy it at this price, and I don't need to post money to give me benefits! I don't want to leave anyone behind! Do you understand? I'm not short of that money either! ”

The two of them really wanted to sell to Xiao Jiading at a low price to pay bribes, but they didn't expect Xiao Jiading to ask the price clearly first, and their intentions could not be realized. Last time, he wanted to bribe Xiao Jiading with a low-cost house, but Xiao Jiading categorically refused, and he was reprimanded, which made Lu Xiangzheng remember it vividly, and he didn't dare to repeat the mistakes of the past. If this matter can be handled well, it is also one of the ways to curry favor with Lu.

So, both of them agreed repeatedly, saying that they would help Xiao Jiading buy these barren mountains and stone mountains as soon as possible at a price of eighty yuan.

Xiao Jiading finished talking about business, and seeing that they were about to talk about their affairs, he didn't want to connect the two things together, so as not to give people a feeling of trading, so he said, "Go back!" With that, ignoring the two of them, he went straight back to the house. Lu Xiangzheng and the others had no choice but to follow.

After sitting down, Lu Xiangzheng said: "It's not much fun just to drink like this, why don't you let these girls in our village sing a few mountain songs to help cheer up?" ”

Xiao Jiading smiled and nodded: "Okay!" I'm used to listening to poetry and songs, and listening to mountain songs is also refreshing. ”

Lu Xiangzheng said: "If you want to talk about mountain songs, this young bamboo girl beside you, as well as her sister, the two of them are the best singers in the village." ”

"Oh? Is it? Xiao Jiading looked at the tender bamboo, "What about your sister?" ”

Nenzhu blushed and pointed to a girl standing by the wall: "Oh, where is it!" ”

Xiao Jiading turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a girl who looked a little similar to Nenzhu, a year or two older than Nenzhu. He asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl was more generous than Nenzhu, not so shy, and stepped forward to bless: "Little girl Yunyan, please meet Xiao Ye!" ”

"Well, let's sing it!"

Lu Xiangzheng smiled and said: "Holding clothes, the most interesting thing about mountain songs is duet, a man and a woman sing that taste." Why don't you have one with them? ”

Xiao Jiading smiled and said: "If you want to talk about poetry, I know a little, but if you want to rap mountain songs, I don't know anything!" ”

Lu Xiangzheng said: "This is easy, the tender bamboo next to you is a good hand, let her help you, the tone of this mountain song is fixed, and it will be soon, but you have to respond to it immediately." This one is the most exquisite. She'll help you sing first. You'll be soon! ”

"Okay!" Xiao Jiading's skin was thick enough, and he was half drunk, so he smiled.

Seeing that Xiao Jiading agreed, Nenzhu first raised his face and said to his sister Yun Yan: "Sister, I'm helping Xiao Ye here." You come first! ”

Yun Yan smiled and sang, her voice crisp and loud:

One thread comes one needle,

The needle is heavy, and the thread is light.

Brother is a steel needle without a lead,

How to follow the back of the sister?

Xiao Jiading immediately applauded, and the others also applauded. Nenzhu smiled and sang back:

Green vines entangle trees and drill up,

Birds love mountains and forests, so they go into the mountains.

There are only ships anchored in the world,

Have you ever seen a shore boat?

Xiao Jiading applauded again, this time with the meaning of amazement. I thought that this tender bamboo is not simple, the other party said that the man should sing the female first, but the tender bamboo used the metaphor of the vine entwining the tree and the boat docking to illustrate that the Xiao family's big tree is the shore, and naturally he has to wait for the other party to take the initiative to tie up. This is very much in line with Xiao Jiading's identity. It can be seen that this woman is also very clever.

Next, the two sides sang a few songs back and forth, only to hear the pretty face of the cloud goose looking at Xiao Jiading, and singing softly:

Yue'er bends and hangs on the hill,

Although the mountain song is beautiful, it sinks into the river.

If my brother likes me,

Fight and sing with you.

As soon as she finished singing, there was a burst of laughter, and the girls all looked at Xiao Jiading. The tender bamboo beside Xiao Jiading also looked at Xiao Jiading with a smile and said, "Sister, this song makes it clear that I want you to go back in person, I can't help you go back, you can go back yourself."
