030 Let's exchange the title deeds
Not to mention the small calculations in Master Li's heart, Yao Tiantian, who was stumped, was like an eggplant that had been beaten badly, and she didn't know how to answer next.
Yao Runzhi on the side saw everything in his eyes, a trace of anxiety flashed on his face, and he quickly pulled Yao Tiantian over, and scolded with a smile, "This time the cowhide is blown up, what is your name writing, only you can understand what it means to record it, right?" In this way, he cut his own hand with a carving knife! In the future, you have to remember that you can't just do it. ”
As he spoke, Yao Runzhi naturally pulled Yao Tiantian's hand out from behind, pointed to a scar on her left index finger and said, "Look, the scar is still there, so I'm talking big again, hurry up and compensate Lord Li, how can the contract between adults be as sloppy as your child." ”
Yao Runzhi's words relieved Yao Tiantian, and also allowed her to extract a useful information, paper in their era is really not popular, and to make a contract, you still need to take a knife and engrave it on the bamboo slips. But, no, Yao Tiantian remembered that she had seen a lot of thread-bound ancient books in her uncle Yao Runzhi's bedroom and study, and she had also heard about her uncle's share capital or something from the mouth of the dog, what was going on? How could this kind of thread-bound book, which should only appear in the homes of dignitaries and nobles at this stage, appear on the desk of the country master?
Moreover, Yao Tiantian also learned from the memory of the original owner Xiao Tianniu that the scar on her left hand was not broken when she was holding a carving knife, it was accidentally broken by the original owner Xiao Tianniu when she was cutting vegetables and cooking, and it was not broken at all because she used a carving knife to record the lettering. Uncle Yao Runzhi said this to relieve himself, but Yao Tiantian still heard a trace of special nervousness from Yao Runzhi's tone, what was he afraid of? Or is he trying to hide something?
Although Yao Tiantian was a little puzzled by her uncle Yao Runzhi's behavior, she knew that now was not the time to pursue these things, and it was their top priority to take down the barren mountain in black and white at the west end of the village.
Thinking clearly, Yao Tiantian temporarily put away the doubts in her heart, she pretended to be a lie and was seen through by adults, and then she was annoyed and angry, and pulled out her little hand vigorously, hid it tightly behind her, hiding all the evidence behind her, and then pursed her lips and refuted angrily and loudly, "I, what's wrong with my child, no matter what way it is, children know how to remember what they have said, you adults don't record what you say, it's better than me as a child!" ”
Looking at Yao Tiantian's seemingly nonsense, a trace of understanding flashed on Yao Runzhi's face, and it was fleeting, and he immediately cooperated and pretended to cry and laugh and scolded, "You kid, you are really stubborn......"
"Haha, I think the little girl said it well, how can we adults be inferior to children?" Master Li laughed and interrupted Yao Runzhi's words, turned back to Huang Dahu and said, "Since you agree to give that barren mountain to Yangjiatun for use, let's officially record it on the bamboo slip." This official will be a witness for you, and we can't be compared to a little girl. ”
Master Li's words turned out to be the final word, and the official barren mountain was given sex. Master Li can say this, Yao Tiantian was stunned, and involuntarily looked at his uncle, just to catch the fleeting doubts on Yao Runzhi's face.
Hearing what Master Li actually said, Huang Dahu was even more stunned, he opened his mouth wide, he wanted to say that he agreed with the people of Yangjiatun to go to the barren mountain to chop wood, dig wild vegetables, and hunt game, but he didn't say that he wanted to give all the barren mountains to their people in Yangjiatun to use.
However, looking at Master Li's high spirits, Huang Dahu swallowed all the words that came to his lips, anyway, the barren mountains and rocks are thin and uneven, and it doesn't hurt to give them them, as long as they can successfully take their land, when the hunting ground is built, there is hope for his son's future, and this small barren mountain is not worth anything.
Huang Dahu didn't want to offend Master Li at this time, and he didn't want to be serious with the people of Yangjiatun, he had a smile on his face, and quickly followed Master Li's words, and said in a loud voice, "Yes, yes, yes, we men's husbands can't be compared to a little girl, just record this on the bamboo slip." ”
After speaking, Huang Dahu turned around and instructed the accompanying housekeeper, "Go, go and get two hundred and twenty taels of silver, bamboo slips, and carving knives." ”
The housekeeper of the Huang Mansion hurriedly trotted out after hearing the order, and after a while, he ran back out of breath, holding a sack of sackcloth, a bamboo slip and a carving knife in his hand.
Huang Dahu stretched out his hand and carried the silver bag in the butler's hand, shook it in front of the old village chief Yang, and said condescendingly, "Old man Yang, what kind of books are you going to burn in the crowd, you should be satisfied this time, right?" Get your title deeds out of your hand. ”
"Good, good, good. I'll let someone take it. Old Village Chief Yang said in a low voice, with a deep sense of reluctance and loss. After speaking, he paused, raised his sleeve and touched the corners of his eyes, before beckoning to the dog baby, "Go, go to the ancestral hall to find the third uncle, and ask him to bring the title deed of our tun to the village school." ”
Title deed? Yao Tiantian was dumbfounded when she heard this, people actually have such a thing as a title deed, and she is so desperate to sell cute and pretend to be stupid What kind of note do you want to write, just ask for the title deed, won't you live together? What a clever pig brain!
Yao Tiantian pulled her hair with hatred, but she saw her uncle Yao Runzhi looking at her with approval, and when she met Yao Tiantian's gaze, Yao Runzhi smiled at her encouragingly, and then raised her eyebrows, and snorted at Huang Dahu's side.
After receiving the hint from his uncle, between the lightning and thunder, Yao Tiantian immediately understood, it turned out that the uncle and the old village chief were also playing the idea of the title deed, and having the title deed was the safest foolproof.
Yao Tiantian thought clearly, no matter what the uncle and the old village chief originally planned, since the matter was disrupted by himself, he had to participate in it to the end, and he had to get the title deed of the barren mountain no matter what. Yao Tiantian sighed secretly in her heart, it seems that she is going to sell cute and stupid to the end today.
Yao Tiantian once again forcibly suppressed the chill in her heart, and once again said in a crisp child's voice with a sharp voice, "Oh, it's so troublesome to engrave a book, in fact, it's more convenient to exchange contracts." ”
As soon as Yao Tiantian's words came out, everyone present was stunned, and suddenly quieted down, Yao Runzhi and Yang Lao Village Chief did not change in the slightest, but they were waiting nervously in their hearts. Master Li has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is doing secretarial work, so he naturally has a seven-trick heart, but at this time, Master Li has a curiosity about Yao Runzhi's uncle and nephew, and he is puzzled by the faint nobility on Yao Runzhi's body, so he chose to close his mouth at this time and wait and see.
Compared with the silence of everyone, the person concerned, Huang Dahu, seemed not so calm, he seemed to realize something, stroked his wide double chin, narrowed his small triangular eyes, and thought carefully for a while, Huang Dahu asked the old village chief Yang, "Old man Yang, what do this child's words mean?" What do you think? ”
Hearing this, the old village chief Yang quietly teased his eyelids, glanced at Master Li, who refused to speak more, he smiled honestly, and said solemnly, "Master Li is also here, Huang Yuanwai is a famous and respected squire in our area, I don't have anything else to do, just come as it is convenient." ”
Huang Dahu secretly scolded in his heart and scolded, this old man Yang looked like an honest man, what he said was soft and hard, his posture was so low, but he sent a child out, relying on a child's words to start his head, dare to say anything. It's just that I was too careless at the beginning, and I was put up by them step by step to this point, if I didn't agree to them exchanging land deeds at this time, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to explain it in front of Master Li.
Fortunately, that barren mountain is not of much use in his hands, he doesn't produce any food, and it is too far to send people to chop firewood, if he can use that barren mountain to successfully take down the feng shui treasure of Yangjiatun, which Mr. Feng Shui fancies, it is not a big deal to give them that barren mountain.
Huang Dahu thought about it, comforted himself, smoothed the stuffiness in his chest, but snorted coldly in his nose, and said unforgivingly, "You have a good plan, take a piece of land and exchange it for more than 20 taels of silver, and I have to build another mountain!" ”
"Then I will thank Huang Yuanwai for the villagers in Yangjiatun for leaving a way for the big guys." Yao Runzhi looked at the old village chief's distressed and reluctant appearance, for fear that he would break the barren mountain that was easy to win in order to fight for a breath at a critical juncture, so he hurriedly hugged his fists at Huang Dahu and Master Li and accepted the matter.
After Yao Runzhi's round and reminder, the old village chief Yang finally endured the words of repentance that almost rushed out of his mouth, but followed Huang Dahu's words and said, "Yes, it is indeed much more convenient to exchange the title deed directly, I am a rough person, and I have the most headache to carve with a bamboo knife." ”
Master Li saw that both of them expressed their respective attitudes, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said in a summary of his words, "That's good, today the official will do a good thing to the end, to give a witness to the two of you, you exchanged the title deed, the official took away fifteen taels of silver to count as Yangjiatun's imperial grain national tax last year, Yang Village Chief took the remaining seven taels of silver to lead people to reclaim the barren mountain, Huang Dahu, your hunting ground can also start construction immediately." ”
Now, although Huang Dahu unexpectedly lost a barren mountain, he finally got the feng shui treasure land smoothly, and he bowed his hand to Master Li, "Yes, thank you Master Li for making it happen." As he spoke, he beckoned a family member to go, and went back to find the third aunt to get the title deed of the mountain. ”
