Ye Xiaoyan called Duan Haoran, Xiao Yuhan and others to come to the office, and Xiao Yuhan asked, "Why did Nangong Chen come suddenly?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan replied: "He said that he wanted to talk to Nangong You. ”

Xiao Yuhan thought about it, no need to ask, most of it was related to the Ye family. Thinking of the 100,000 taels he got from the Ye family, he pestered Ye Xiaoyan again and asked her to teach him how to make money.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "I have already said that you will be asked to buy land to grow peanuts and sesame seeds. ”

"All 100,000 taels to buy land?" Xiao Yuhan said: "I have already asked, one acre of land on the outskirts of the capital is more than 30 taels of silver, and 100,000 taels can buy more than 3,000 acres." Planting one season of peanuts a year can harvest about 400 catties per mu. Can you run out of peanuts? ”

Ye Xiaoyan raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yuhan, but she didn't expect him to do his homework. said: "It's done." Don't say that 3,000 acres of peanuts can be used up, even 30,000 acres of peanuts can be used up. ”

Xiao Yuhan asked: "Then my income?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan said: "I can earn back the land money in the first year." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yuhan said: "This money is too slow. ”

"Is this slow?" Ye Xiaoyan said: "I can earn back the land money in the first year, and this income is already very high, okay!" ”

Xiao Yuhan looked at Duan Haoran and asked him for corroboration.

Duan Haoran said: "This income is indeed very high, and it takes three or four years, or even four or five years to recover the cost of buying land, for general planting." ”

Xiao Yuhan twisted his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll partner with you to buy land to grow peanuts." I'm in charge of buying, you're in charge of planting. ”

The three of them discuss the partnership in the office.

At this time, Duan Haoqi was bored listening to them discuss things in the office, so she ran to the backyard to play.

She heard the sound of the harp and followed it to a room. I saw two women in the room, one sitting on the piano, and the other holding a flute standing aside to listen. These two people are the Qing officials who have just been bought.

The woman who played the piano was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful appearance, and she couldn't tell that she was a Qing official when she sat there, but she looked like a young lady. The woman with the flute was about the same age as her, with a mediocre appearance, standing aside like a maid.

When the woman playing the piano saw someone coming from the door, she stopped playing and took a closer look, stood up and saluted, and said, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

The woman with the flute also bowed to her.

"Huh? Do you recognize me? Duan Haoqi asked curiously.

The woman playing the piano said: "The little woman heard the backyard steward Mama say that she has seen the eldest lady from afar. ”

Duan Haoqi asked, "What's your name?" ”

The woman playing the piano said, "The little girl's name is Yueniang. ”

The woman with the flute said, "The little woman's name is Xinnu. ”

Duan Haoqi asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Yueniang said: "We are practicing ensemble. ”

Duan Haoqi walked into the room, found a chair to sit down, and said, "You guys continue to practice." I'll just be listening. ”

Yueniang poured a cup of tea and served it, sat back in front of the piano stand, and continued to practice the ensemble with Xinnu.

This Yueniang was originally the daughter of a small official family, because her father was corrupt and perverted the law, she was sentenced to death, and she was punished as a slave and sold into the Qinglou. She has been in the Qinglou for two years and has always refused to sell herself. The government has regulations that even if it is a woman in a green house, selling her body must be voluntary, and it is illegal to force her body to sell herself. Because of her skills in playing the piano, she still has some guests, but the bustard doesn't want to raise a Qing official, so when the steward Zhou found the bustard and said that he wanted to buy a Qing official, the old bustard was very happy to sell the moon girl.

The heart slave was bought from another Qinglou. She was sold into the Qinglou at the age of eight, doing rough work, being a maid, and later serving a girl, the girl was good at, she followed the girl to learn, and then the girl was bought, she played the flute in the Qinglou music class. The bustard wanted to sell her, but she was really not good-looking, and no one bought her. When Steward Zhou found the bustard and said that he wanted to buy a heart slave, the bustard happily sold her.
