34 Buy Mountain

After having the silver, Gu Jiao pondered what to do.

On the second day, Xiao Liulang returned from school, and the family of three sat in the hall to eat.

said that it is a family of three, but in fact, there is nothing to do with each other, but there is some harmony in the weird.

The old lady nibbled on a big chicken leg, glanced at Gu Jiao, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”

Gu Jiao: The old lady has good eyesight, how can you see that she has something to say?

"I want to buy mountains." Gu Jiao said.

"Winter shirt or autumn shirt?" The old lady gave Gu Jiao a speechless little look, as if complaining that this little thing was also worth grinding.

"I'm not talking about clothes, I'm talking about the mountains, the mountain behind our village." Gu Jiao always picks fungus and mountain mushrooms in the mountains, and finds that there are a lot of good things there...... In short, the hillside is full of value, and there will be no loss.

"Buy!"

Surprisingly, the old lady didn't hesitate at all, and when it came to spending money, the old lady was really impeccable and generous.

If this is replaced by the original owner's own grandmother Wu, I am afraid that I will jump up and scold Gu Jiao: "Little mourning star, loser girl, you can also buy the mountain, the silver is generously scraped!" ”

In the eyes of most villagers, the mountain is worthless, at most you can chop some firewood, pick some wild vegetables, although there are also mountain goods and prey, but no one will buy the whole mountain for these things.

Gu Jiao is knowledgeable and has the ability to deal with any danger in the deep mountains, so that mountain will be a huge cornucopia in her hands.

In the past, she just made up her own mind about this kind of thing, and Xiao Liulang never interfered with any of her decisions, but since the old lady came, their way of getting along seems to have changed subtly.

"Are you talking about the mountain that went up from behind Second Uncle Luo's house?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"Hmm." Gu Jiao nodded.

Qingquan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and she likes the mountain in the middle, which is also the mountain that people in the village often go to, and Second Uncle Luo's house is at the foot of the mountain.

"Okay, I'll ask Lizheng in a moment." Xiao Liulang didn't hesitate.

Gu Jiao scratched her little head, it was her grandfather, she could ask, she didn't say it to keep him busy.

After dinner, Xiao Liulang went to the Gu family's old house.

Zhou and Liu were beaten by the yamen for thirty years, and they have been honestly lying in the house to recuperate for the past few days, and the house is much cleaner.

"Brother-in-law! Why are you here? "It was Gu Xiaoshun who opened the door.

"I'm looking for Lizheng." Xiao Liulang said.

Although he became close to Gu Jiao, he always called the old man rightly.

"Oh." Gu Xiaoshun was only surprised that his brother-in-law would come to the door, but he was not surprised by the name of his brother-in-law, after all, the Gu family forced his brother-in-law to marry first, and squeezed his brother-in-law's hard-earned money later, and every pen was a debt.

"Master, brother-in-law is here!" Gu Xiaoshun led Xiao Liulang to Old Man Gu's house.

Old Man Gu glanced at Xiao Liulang with some surprise, if he remembered correctly, this was the first time that Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao came to the Gu family's old mansion after their marriage.

"What's the matter at such a late hour?" Old Man Gu asked.

Xiao Liulang said nonchalantly: "Let me ask Li Zheng, how to sell the mountain behind Second Uncle Luo's house?" ”

"What is this for, you ask? Does anyone from your academy want to buy a mountain? No matter how old man Gu opened his brain, he would never have expected that his granddaughter would buy a mountain, "That mountain costs a lot of money...... Moreover, it is not something that anyone can buy if they want to. That mountain is not under the control of our village, nor is it under the control of the county government, it is the land in the temple. ”

"Temple?" Xiao Liulang frowned slightly, he didn't know that there was a temple here.

Old Man Gu said: "That's right, it's the temple, you haven't been here for a long time, you may not have been there yet." On the other side of the mountain, you can walk around the foot of the mountain in about an hour. If you academy people want to buy a mountain, you have to go to the temple to talk to them to preside over the abbot. ”

Thinking of something, Old Man Gu said again: "Speaking of which, Jiao Niang was still born in that temple." ”

After Xiao Liulang went home, Gu Jiao greeted him and asked him, "How is it?" What did the Gu family say? ”

Xiao Liulang relayed Old Man Gu's original words.

"It's the land in the temple...... "The original owner hasn't been to that temple either, no, according to Old Man Gu, she was born in the temple, so she can be considered to have been there, "Didn't you say how much silver you need?" ”

"I didn't say anything specifically, but maybe a hundred taels is not enough." Xiao Liulang said.

"Oh, then I still have it." Gu Jiao said, grabbed a handful of silver naked children from her pocket and put them on the table.

The old lady paused as she swallowed melon seeds.

However, this is not over, Gu Jiao grabbed another handful, a handful, a handful, and a handful.

The old lady and Xiao Liulang were stunned at the same time, these silver nudes have twenty or thirty taels, where did she get them?

Xiao Liulang settled down and asked, "Did you earn it all by selling mountain goods?" ”

"Hmm!" Gu Jiao tried hard to open her eyes wide, with a sincere face, "It's definitely not a fight!" ”

Xiao Liulang: "......"

--

In ancient times, there were not many holidays for studying, except for the ten-day ten-day holiday, the field leave during the busy farming period, and the clothing leave in September, there was only the annual leave from the lunar month to the first month.

In the past, the annual leave was in the first half of the lunar month, but this year it was postponed to the second half of the month, and because of the upcoming annual leave, there will be no longer a holiday in the next half month.

Gu Jiao didn't want Xiao Liulang to ask for leave from the academy for this matter, so she decided to go to the temple by herself.

Considering the lessons learned from the past last time, Gu Jiao did not directly leave the food in the pot for the old lady this time, but found Xue Ningxiang and asked her to take care of the old lady.

"Your aunt ......"

"She's not seriously ill, it's not contagious."

"Ah, that's not what I meant."

Xue Ningxiang helped her to fulfill her lie, how could Gu Jiao not know? Naturally, she guessed what Xue Ningxiang guessed, but Xue Ningxiang did not denounce her, nor did she alienate her because of this.

Xue Ningxiang didn't ask Gu Jiao how she was cured of leprosy, she just had to believe Gu Jiao: "Don't worry, I will take care of your aunt." ”
