When the two arrived in Lanshu County, it was already dark, many shops on the street had closed, and the warm yellow candlelight faintly revealed the afterglow from the paper window.

Yu Jiao poked her head out of the carriage, pointed to the shop with two wooden doors open not far ahead, and said, "That's the grain shop I opened." ”

Yu Zhizhou raised his eyes, drove the carriage to the door of the shop, grabbed the bridle, stopped the car steadily, he jumped off the carriage first, turned around and stretched out his hand to Yu Jiao, wanting to help her get out of the carriage.

Yu Jiao inadvertently avoided his hand, held the wheel, and got out of the carriage.

Yu Ling, who was in the shop, heard the movement, looked up, and walked out of the grain shop quickly, "Third brother...... Why are you here too? ”

Yu Zhizhou withdrew his hand, and turned to look at Yu Lingling when he heard the sound, "I was idle at home and wanted to find a job to do, Sister Yu Jiao asked me to come over to help her do things, so I came." ”

The guy in the shop stepped forward to lead the horse from Yu Zhizhou's hand, and drove the carriage into the house from the courtyard gate on the east side.

After entering the grain shop, Yu Poria hurriedly poured hot tea for the two of them, Yu Zhizhou didn't go to drink tea, but walked around the grain shop, looking around curiously.

Yu Fuling said, "It just so happens that the shop is about to close, let's go back to the house to talk, and I'll go cook first." ”

Yu Jiao stood up and closed the door panel with Yu Lingling, and Yu Zhizhou stepped forward to help.

With lamps and candles, the three of them wore the small door behind the counter and went to the back of the house.

Yu Zhizhou looked around at the brightly lit house, but he didn't expect that there was a hole behind the shop facing the street, and it was actually opened.

"The owner is back!" When the guys in the front yard saw Yu Jiao, they hurriedly said hello.

One person stepped forward and took out two thick letters from his sleeve, "Boss, this is a reply from Steward Zhou." ”

Yu Jiao took the letter, caught a glimpse of the word Gu on it, and put the letter in her sleeve, "It's hard work, I'm tired of tidying up the house, this is my brother, and he will also work here in the future." ”

The guy hurriedly answered, said hello to Yu Zhizhou, and went down to clean up the house.

The three of them walked through the partition wall and entered the inner house, Yu Zhizhou retracted his gaze very politely, although he had never lived in a big mansion, he also knew the difference between the inner and outer houses, so he should avoid suspicion, so he didn't look around.

"You told your family?" Entering the hall, Yu Lingling lit all the lights and candles in the hall, and the entire hall brightened up in an instant.

Yu Jiao shook her head, "I only told Aunt Song and Uncle Mengshan, and the third brother also knows." ”

Yu Zhizhou sat on the chair stiffly and said busily, "I won't go around talking about it, I promise to keep my mouth shut, and I will hide it from my family." ”

Yu Fuling smiled, "Third brother, I didn't mean that. ”

Yu Zhizhou nodded, "I know." ”

Grandfather's attitude towards Yu Jiao, Yu Zhizhou is not unaware, where can Yu Jiao be allowed to secretly open a grain shop outside, if it were him, he would hide it.

"You rest first, and I'll cook." Yu Lingling knew that the two of them were coming over in a hurry, and they were still hungry, so they didn't care about greetings, so they hurriedly went to the stove room to cook.

Yu Zhizhou glanced outside the hall, his expression was a little dazed, he just counted, there were seven or eight guys in the front yard, Yu Jiao was doing business in earnest, it was not a small fight as he imagined.

"Third brother doesn't need to be restrained." Yu Jiao said, "The house is small, and there are some guys living in the front yard, all of whom help in the shop, so it's okay to arrange for you to live with them, right?" ”

Yu Zhizhou came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, just have a place to live." ”

He licked the corners of his dry lips, and asked with a little tightness in his throat, "I forgot to ask, how many fields did you buy in Lanshu County?" ”

Yu Jiao poured him a cup of tea, "Less than 400 acres of fertile land, more than 100 acres of thin fields." ”

Yu Zhizhou's eyes widened, and he forgot to drink the tea he was serving, "Five...... More than 500 acres of land? ”

Yu Jiao smiled, nodded, and explained, "The fields near the Lanshu Canal were a little seriously damaged, and the price of the fields was much lower, so I bought more. ”

Yu Zhizhou looked at Yu Jiao, his eyes were a little bright, at this moment, Yu Jiao, who was petite and had not yet reached her level, became magnificent, this is a rich man with five hundred acres of land!

I never dreamed that there would be a rich man in the family! The rich man who owns 500 acres of land turned out to be his fifth brother and sister who was married to Chongxi!

Yu Zhizhou, who was shocked for a while, couldn't digest it, asked out loud, "Poria also knows that you bought five hundred acres of land?" ”

Yu Jiao nodded, "I know." ”

Yu Zhizhou closed his mouth, okay, it's that he is rare and strange, and he has never seen the world.

He also thought that Yu Jiao said that he wanted to plant Hu Cai, at most he would buy dozens of acres of land, but he didn't think that she would buy 500 acres, no wonder she said that she had found someone to help plant it!

Yu Zhizhou, who was still a little apprehensive, no longer has any worries at this time, he just wants to do things under Yu Jiao's hands in a down-to-earth manner, and follow the rich man, he firmly believes that he can also get ahead one day.

Seeing the expression on Yu Zhizhou's face for a while, Yu Jiao didn't say anything more, and took out the two letters from his sleeve.

Unfolding the paper, the handwriting of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing jumped in front of him, and the words were as wild and uninhibited as his person.

In her reply, Gu Yun not only readily agreed to borrow money, but let Yu Jiao use the money from selling grain as she pleased, but also gave her another 5,000 taels of silver tickets.

Inside another bulging envelope was a thick stack of silver tickets.

Pinching the silver ticket, Yu Jiao frowned slightly, Gu Yun was so generous, she felt a little weird in her heart.
