074 Little Zhuangzi
074 Little Zhuangzi
When I turned my head back and met with Zhuangtou and Changgong, I understood why this Zhuangzi was so virtuous.
"Steward Wen, Zhuangzi is 2,000 taels, I won't give any more, I'll hand it over, if not, then forget about this deal" Gu Li looked at a shrewd-looking middle-aged man beside Dongfang Xu seriously.
Wen Jun nodded and turned to leave, the people present, especially the fat-headed and big-eared Zhuang Tou, were really two people who were diametrically opposed to Yang Zhong.
Looking at the other people, there were three people who kept staring back and forth, only one of them had an eye full of wonder and shock, and then there was apprehension, and he stood there silently, a little nervous and cramped.
Zhuang Tou wanted to step forward to talk to Dongfang Xu several times, but he was repelled by his cold eyes.
After a stick of incense, a rich man in his 50s in brocade clothes came in a very good carriage, and when he got out of the car, he saw a look of anxiety and worry on his face.
Liu Yuanwai was happily waiting at home to count the money, his Zhuangzi, which had not been very productive, was finally about to get rid of it, and it happened that he was still short of buying a better Zhuangzi silver in Fucheng, but he didn't want to be hurriedly invited by the housekeeper, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to Zhuangzi.
Joke, the middleman's surname is 'Dongfang', regardless of whether it is a branch or a side branch, it is not something he can afford to provoke as a small person.
There are only three surnames in the Xia Kingdom that make people stay away, 'Beitang, Dongfang, and Baili', and no one dares to pretend to be members of the three families, otherwise they will die miserably.
There is also a special surname, that is, the descendants of the royal family who have no title are given the surname 'North'.
This surname is unique in the Xia Kingdom, and it is another symbol of the royal family, all of which have no titles and titles, only the true dragon son of heaven on the orthodox throne and the major titles of the princes and their sons and grandchildren can be surnamed Beitang.
Liu Yuanwai got out of the carriage, ran all the way to Dongfang Xu, and then hurriedly gave Dongfang Xu a respectful salute first, knowing that his identity was not qualified to speak directly with him, he stood in front of Wen Jun respectfully, arched his hand and said, "I don't know if Steward Wen is dissatisfied with this Zhuangzi" After speaking, he wiped the sweat on his head.
Wen Jun didn't speak, and respectfully retreated behind the grain, Liu Yuanwai was stupid.
What's the matter with a poorly dressed peasant 'boy' in front of him? Let the big butler respect, look at the great origin of this posture.
He didn't dare to slack off any longer, so he hurriedly turned to Lu Dajiang, who was also dressed in patches around him, but his face was quite good-looking.
The spring breeze is slightly cool, the grain field is not sheltered from the wind, a gust of wind through the grain naturally tightened his shoulders, Dongfang Xu stood up and put the rabbit fur on his shoulder to the grain, this guy likes fluffy things.
This dress is a new style made by him with grains, the spring version of the small cold suit, now Liu Yuanwai is not calm, the sweat came down directly, Dongfang Xu glared at him angrily, Wen Jun looked like a son who could not be taught.
"Uh, I don't know what the little boy is called, it's because you want to see this Zhuangzi"
Gu Li was already surprised by his reaction, and nodded and said, "The new owner's surname is Gu"
Liu Yuanwai saw that it was difficult to speak, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and hurriedly said, "Oh, it's rude, it's rude, the reason why the little boy lowered the price, can you talk to me about it?"
Gu Li pointed to Zhuangzi and asked, "Does Liu Yuanwai never come to Zhuangzi?" ”
Liu Yuanwai glanced at Zhuang Tou, and saw that he was nervously lowering his head, so he nodded and said, "Uh, yes, it is generally managed by Zhuang Tou and the housekeeper, Zhuang Tou is a distant relative of the next, and he has been letting him dot"
"Oh, that's good, it's better for Liu Yuanwai to go to the field and see for himself, you can tell me what the problem is"
After Gu Li's words, he ignored him, and Liu Yuanwai hurriedly followed the housekeeper to the field behind. 18
Gu Li pulled the Maokan on his shoulder, looked around at this Zhuangzi, on the left side of the gate is a small courtyard with two entrances, the brand-new blue brick and blue tile house has not been built for a few years, it seems that this Zhuangtou will enjoy it, in the Zhuangzi should be such a good house, not much worse than the small house in the town outside, the distant relatives of the owner, it is estimated that it is a favored concubine or a cousin, no wonder there is such a good treatment.
On the left side of the courtyard is the barn, and behind the small courtyard is the barn, which is not large except for a row of newly built brick houses.
To the east are a few adobe houses, which at first glance are inhabited by long-term workers;
A small house at the gate was a gatehouse, and there was an open space behind the adobe house, and some miscellaneous things such as bricks and wood were piled up.
The edge of the barn was full of weeds, and outside the barn you could see the lost rice grains, some farm tools were left haphazardly by the wall, and some of the broken and rusty ones were not trimmed or put away.
One word: chaos
After a while, Liu Yuanwai trotted back a few steps, glared at Zhuang Tou viciously, and then looked at the grain with some blush.
He also understood the reason at this time, not to mention the empty land, weeds could be seen everywhere, and many crops were not properly tended.
Seeing him like this, Gu Li's anger just now was much smaller, it seems that he has a big family and doesn't take care of himself, and the head of the village is related to the master's family, and the other people in this Zhuangzi naturally don't dare to provoke, and they won't report the real situation to the master's family, no wonder he will change hands in such a hurry, I'm afraid he also understands that he can't get much benefit from this Zhuangzi.
"Liu Yuanwai, I lowered the price to 270 taels, you should also see why, your 50 acres of fertile land is not as good as the medium field on my big Zhuangzi; There are also 100 acres of inferior fields, and the soil quality is no different from that of dry land.
I don't know how this field is served, and I can't even keep up with the fertilizer, if I say that your Zhuangzi has 50 acres of medium land and 125 acres of dry land, others can't say anything.
So you say, did this price give you a lot of bargaining?
And the fish pond, I don't know that dry bar without water is also called a fish pond, what about the fish? What about water? ”
Speaking of this, Dongfang Xu didn't hold back and smiled.
Gu Li glared at him, he touched his nose and looked at Gu Yu,
Gu Yu is the eldest sister, although she was wearing men's clothes at this time, she shook her head gently at the grain, she should not be so rude to Dongfang Xu.
Gu Li didn't bother to pay attention to Dongfang Xu's two goods, thinking that with Gu Yu's support, he didn't dare to do anything to him, and he still learned to sue the children who were not interested.
If it weren't for the fact that he had found such a good Zhuangzi, he would still cut him now, what a serious thing, and laugh.
Gu Li coughed dryly, then looked at Liu Yuanwai, who was full of depression, and continued, "Now is the time when spring is blooming and everything is recovering, and I haven't seen a single fish except weeds."
And the hill-like dirt slope, full of scraps and stones, a pile of garbage. Hey, you didn't sell me as a barren mountain, otherwise this trade would not have been discussed," Gu Li pointed to the farthest grassy dirt slope.
Dongfang Xu: Continue to shrug your shoulders and snicker.
Wen Jun: Shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Gu Yu: Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Dajiang also felt very funny.
Liu Yuanwai's face was very ugly, he cautiously glanced at Dongfang Xu who was holding back his smile, and then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this price is appropriate, suitable" He said, his heart was bleeding, and more than 200 taels of silver were gone.
