Mrs. Gu obviously understood the twists and turns in this, and after seeing all the people brought by Sun Yaren and his wife, she almost didn't hesitate to choose a black and thin boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and a young man who looked to be in his twenties and sold himself with his mother-in-law and daughter.

After collecting the deed and giving the silver, Mrs. Gu's mother and daughter were accompanied out of the city by Mingyue and Sun Yaren.

Sun Yaren first took them to the village in the south of the city where the fruit trees grew well, and then took them to two small farms in the east of the city.

Mrs. Gu personally got out of the car and took a rough tour of the three Zhuangzi, and she carefully inspected all the fields, ponds, and mountain bags.

In the end, after comprehensively weighing what she saw and thought, as well as the purchase suggestions given by Yu Jiayan and Mingyue, she bought the Zhuangzi in the east of the city with 30 acres of lower fields, a small hill, and a small pond.

Because this Zhuangzi comes with thirty acres of lower fields, the silver taels prepared by Mrs. Gu are not enough at all. Although the other party is in a hurry to sell, they can appropriately lower the price, but no matter how much the price is lowered, the price cannot be lower than the market price.

First, Mrs. Gu was afraid that others would pour a basin of dirty water on Gu Zhixian of "forced buying and selling" and even "corruption and bribery", so she didn't dare to press too hard when she lowered the price, and secondly, the seller was also a six-grade official, even if Mrs. Gu wanted to "bully others", people would not buy her and Gu Zhixian's account of the seven-grade county order.

Mrs. Gu had no choice, so in the end, she had to ask Mingyue to borrow one hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets to pay the bill.

Fortunately, Mingyue was fully prepared, and she didn't need Mrs. Gu to speak, she had already quietly stuffed three silver tickets with a denomination of fifty taels into Mrs. Gu's sleeve.

Mrs. Gu was very grateful for Mingyue's help, until she was dizzy and paid the silver, and Mingyue asked the winter solstice to serve her refreshments, and she realized that she was actually fooled by Mingyue and her family......

She was obviously only going to buy a small village worth two hundred taels, why did she finally have a hot head and buy a small grange worth three hundred and forty taels with a field......

blamed Mingyue for constantly brainwashing her, telling her what "it's normal to buy things out of budget".

She wants to complain about Mingyue now, "It's not such a super way to over-budget, right?" That's more than twice as much, okay? ”

And Yu Jiayan is the same, originally she was reluctant to buy the Zhuangzi with only fifteen acres of land because of the relationship between the original owner of the Zhuangzi, but the child has been complaining about how bad the Zhuangzi is.

was told by him that Mrs. Gu's heart that originally wanted to compromise for the sake of insufficient budget was immediately persuaded by Mingyue's sentence "Buying a Zhuangzi that suits your heart is more important than anything else".

She looked pitifully at Miss Mingyue, one of the calm and calm "culprits", "You girl, how can you say that?" As I spoke, I was stunned by what you said. ”

At this time, Sun Yaren had already gone to find the original owner of Zhuangzi, and Mrs. Gu had no chance to regret it, not to mention that she, as the county lady, where did she come from to say "This Zhuangzi is too expensive, I won't buy it"?

Mingyue also knew very well that Mrs. Gu would never go back on her word, so even if she was complained, she still had the same smiling little expression as before.

But then Mrs. Gu's actions made Mingyue very helpless, because Mrs. Gu actually insisted on writing her an IOU of one hundred and fifty taels of silver...

Mingyue refused to no avail, and finally could only accept the IOU with a strange face.

Mrs. Gu let out a long sigh of relief, "I will return the silver to you as soon as possible." ”

Mingyue shrugged, "You feel free. Anyway, even if I say, 'I'm not in a hurry,' you won't take it to heart. ”

Mrs. Gu smiled and poked her forehead, "I know you have a good heart, but I also have my principles." I'm an elder, so I can't touch my lips and take such a big sum of money from you as a junior. ”

Mingyue pouted, "Let's not say it's borrowed?" You did not take mine in vain. ”

"How can borrowing be just talking? There is no basis for what I say, and I must give you a note. Mrs. Gu patted her on the shoulder, "Besides, if I don't leave you an IOU, my family will probably have to write one and throw it to Jiayan for safekeeping." I don't think you want things to turn out like this, do you? ”

Mingyue suddenly became dumbfounded.

Not to mention, this is really something that Gu Zhixian can do.

She slumped her shoulders and sighed, "Okay, then I'll take this IOU of yours." ”

Mrs. Gu smiled even more, "Good." ”

Mingyue scratched her head, "Then I'll send someone to your village tomorrow, and by the way, I'll also ask them to bring you some sweet potato seeds." I see that your village has a cellar and a fire kang, which is convenient for storing sweet potatoes or raising seedlings in the future. ”

Mrs. Gu was about to ask how much a pound of sweet potatoes were planted, but Mingyue was already stunned, "Don't say it, a few pennies a pound of sweet potatoes, you also have to settle the accounts with me!" ”

"......" Mrs. Gu silently swallowed what she wanted to say back into her stomach, "Nacheng, then this year, please send someone to help me teach the subordinates in Zhuangzi how to grow sweet potatoes, how to raise fish, shrimp, crabs, chickens, ducks and geese, how to plant fruit trees and lotus roots." ”

Mingyue raised a smile again, "Don't worry, it's all on me." ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Sun Yaren returned to Ming's house with the red deed of Zhuangzi.

It was Yu Jiayan's little servant Ping'an who went to apply for the red deed with Sun Yaren, because Mrs. Gu had told her not to reveal that she had purchased this Zhuangzi, so Sun Yaren stuffed the hard money to the officials and servants of the yamen according to the old rules.

"Thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Gu carefully read the deed and confirmed that there was no problem, and then Mingyue signaled Yu Jiayan to take the broken silver and reward Sun Yaren.

Sun Yaren not only made money but also had a relationship with Mrs. Zhixian, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes throughout the whole process.

Yu Jiayan took the broken silver and invited him to tea, but he not only refused to accept it, but also said a lot of kind words to Yu Jiayan.

Yu Jiayan didn't force him, he didn't take money, Yu Jiayan asked Ping An to take two muslin cloths and two boxes of snacks to him, "... For the children, please be sure to accept it. ”

Sending things instead of giving silver directly, this is the meaning of the two families as mature people in the future, Sun Yaren was overjoyed, and hurriedly returned to his house with two boxes of snacks and two muslin cloths.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Gu, who had already done everything, naturally would not continue to stay in the Yu family, and she took her two daughters to her own mule cart.

However, her two daughters pulled Mingyue and refused to let go, taking advantage of the moment when Gu Zhixian's nephew who came to pick them up and Yu Jiayan greeted each other, the two little cute girls had to kiss Mingyue one by one, and Yu Jiayan, who was so cautious, was almost drowned directly by a vat of old vinegar in his heart.
