Yes. Xiao Qiongzhi nodded affirmatively.

It turned out that they had listened to what they had told the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion before, and in order to prove that they could cooperate well, they said so much!

It seems that as Zheng Bang expected, they did pay attention to the return of leaves to their roots, and they were afraid that if they followed Chen Shou to Nancheng, they would die in Nancheng in the future and would not be able to return to their hometown, so they deliberately raised the price of the house very high, which was prohibitive.

This reminded Xiao Qiongzhi of her grandfather and grandmother in that world in her memory.

When they were in their seventies and eighties, they also paid attention to returning to their roots, insisting on living in the small town they were accustomed to, and no one could persuade them or take them away......

"In this case, Miss Xiao, you don't have to go around the bush, just tell us straight to the point, how do we need to cooperate, so that we can not only sell this house, but also let us live in this house all the time, and don't have to move to Nancheng." Old Lady Chen immediately turned her gaze to Xiao Qiongzhi and said seriously.

"It's very simple, you just need to agree and buy me this house, and that's it." Xiao Qiongzhi smiled sweetly.

"What? So you also want to buy this house? Old Lady Chen was taken aback and looked at Mrs. Chen.

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly shook his head: "No, I'm just planning to buy a house in the county seat for the convenience of going to school in the county next year." ”

"Originally, I was more optimistic about a house located in Sheephorn Lane behind South Street, because it is relatively close to the county school, only about a mile away, and the price is much cheaper than your house, only 1,300 taels of silver."

"However, the tooth guard of the Zhuang Mansion told me that although your house is far away and the price is very expensive, the feng shui is very good, and there are nearly thirty rooms that can live in it."

"I don't believe in feng shui, but I need a house with more houses, because I plan to support my 30s and teens in the spring next year, and come to the county with me to study."

"Why do you want to support the thirty-something, teen-year-old children in your township, and come to the county with you to study?" When Old Lady Chen heard this, she was shocked and asked curiously.

"Because I think every child has the right to read. They want to study, but their family is poor and has no money for them to study, and I, fortunately, have recently found some ways to earn money, and have the confidence and ability to earn enough money to support their education. Xiao Qiongzhi said calmly.

"My great-grandson goes to the county school every year, and he gets nearly thirty taels of silver a year. As for the cost of a child's food for a year, it is not cheap in the county. ”

"I don't compare my great-grandson, but my granddaughter-in-law's roommate, she is a very thrifty woman, but last year she told me that her three children between the ages of six and ten cost nearly sixty taels of silver a year."

"It is equivalent to saying that if you support more than 30 children to go to county school, each child's annual shackles and living expenses will cost nearly 50 taels of silver. Thirty children, together, were a thousand and five hundred taels of silver. ”

"This is a lot of money, enough to buy two shops in the best section of the county, or buy a big house in a remote section like my house." Mrs. Chen patiently analyzed carefully.

She thought that Xiao Qiongzhi didn't know how expensive it was to provide these children with education every year.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very moved.

She had expected that the tuition fee for the county school would definitely not be low, and she had expected that living in the county would not be cheap, but she did not expect that the cost would be so high.

It seems that you will have to work hard, very hard to make money in the future.

She lowered her head and thought about it seriously before she said in a firm tone: "Old lady, thank you for telling me so much, but, it's man-made, I just said that I have the confidence and ability to earn enough money for them to study." You don't have to worry about me, let's talk about how we can-"

"Miss Xiao, about your willingness to support more than 30 children and go to county school, do your family support you?" Master Chen suddenly hit Duan Xiao Qiongzhi's words, and asked with a very serious expression.

Zheng Bang didn't wait for Xiao Qiongzhi to answer, smiled slightly, and said, "Zhi'er's father joined the army, and she is now living with her mother, her second uncle and me. We all supported her because she was a smart, brave and kind-hearted child, and we agreed that she made the right decision. ”

"And, it's not just us, a lot of people are supporting her. Just the day before yesterday, Hui Huanjun also heard her talk about the robbery of their Zhoujia Village, so he gave 400 taels of silver and asked her to reward Zhoujia Village. ”

"She also has two friends, one is Liang Kun, the prince of the Southern Liang Kingdom, and the other is Liang Qiu, the prince of the Eastern Liang Kingdom, among them, His Royal Highness the Prince Kun has made it clear that he will come up with a sum of money in the near future to support her."

"As for His Royal Highness Prince Qiu, he is studying there for the time being, and I don't know her current decision, he is a famous bodhisattva in Dongliang, and I believe that after knowing this, he will also take out the silver to support her."

Speaking of this, Zheng Bang paused, and said: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the money she earns every year is not enough to support those thirty children, she still has me!" ”

"I am a good hand at fighting tigers and wild boars, and the silver I sold for a tiger and a wild boar yesterday is more than 1,500 taels of silver."

"Big deal, when she doesn't have enough money in the future, I will go to those places where there are tigers and wild boars, fight tigers and wild boars, and sell money to support her!"

"I see! Good! Good! Good! Mrs. Chen listened carefully and said three "good" words in a row.

His originally serious expression was also completely relaxed, and his gaze at Xiao Qiongzhi was full of love and admiration.

It seems that what Zheng Bang said deeply moved him and made him fully convinced himself.

Zheng Bang is really powerful, this call seems random, but the dream return, Liang Kun, and Liang Qiu he mentioned are all great nobles, which is equivalent to making people realize that their connections are very high.

He also said that he was a good hand at fighting tigers and wild boars, and what price tigers and wild boars could sell for, a wise person like Old Lady Chen must also know in his heart.

Xiao Qiongzhi secretly admired Zheng Bang's ability to persuade people in her heart.

She struck while the iron was hot and said to Mrs. Chen: "Old lady, I heard Mr. Chen say that this house is a new house that has torn down your family's original century-old house and expanded in situ. ”

"You and Mrs. Chen, I think this house has good feng shui, and we have lived here for decades, and we are used to it, and we are reluctant to leave or sell it."

"And I don't have a grandfather, a grandmother, a grandfather, a grandmother, and I've never gotten their red envelopes. Today, the red envelope you gave me is the first time I have received it since I was a child, except for my father and mother. This is my blessing and our fate. ”
