Yu Jiayan was speechless for a while.

He almost immediately thought that it must be that the silver that the Wang family could give was not enough for the county to take this trouble into account.

It's just that he doesn't want the magistrate to buy people's hearts, so he directly suggests that the Wang family go to the prefect.

Yu Jiayan groaned slightly, "Then what is the Wang family's plan?" Do you really want to go straight to the prefect? ”

Sun Yaren spread his hands, "How can they tell me about such a thing?" I know that they have approached the county lord because it happens to be an acquaintance of mine who has brought them together. ”

Yu Jiayan didn't ask again.

The Wang family is not familiar with him, so he is not good at meddling in other people's family affairs.

Especially because he has a very close relationship with Gu Zhixian, he doesn't want to let the county misunderstand Gu Zhixian because of his temporary kindness, Gu Zhixian intends to dismantle his platform and slap him in the face.

In the case that he couldn't help Gu Zhixian, and he didn't know how Gu Zhixian was going to grasp the real power of the county government step by step, the only thing he could do was not to harm Gu Zhixian under the banner of good intentions.

Thinking of this, Yu Jiayan did not continue to ask about the Wang family, he talked to Sun Yaren about the two granges that the Wang family was going to sell.

Sun Yaren obviously liked the two Zhuangzi of the Wang family very much, and he introduced the two Zhuangzi to Yu Jiayan and Mingyue very carefully.

"The Zhuangzi, which is relatively close to the county seat, has 100 acres of farmland, a small pond, and a small courtyard. The Zhuangzi, which is far away from the county seat, has 120 acres of upper fields, a small pond, a small hill, and a small courtyard. These two Zhuangzi Wang family members have taken care of them very carefully, and you will definitely be very satisfied with them. ”

Yu Jiayan listened very carefully, and when Sun Yaren finished speaking, he asked a few more questions, such as "how far are these two Zhuangzi from the Qingshui River?" and "Can we buy the river beach next to the Zhuangzi together".

Sun Yaren thought he wanted to dig a few more ponds, he smiled and nodded slightly to Yu Jiayan, "Those two Zhuangzi are very close to the river bank, and the straight-line distance is about four or five miles, but I don't recommend you to buy the river beach near Zhuangzi, because every time it rains heavily, the water of the Qingshui River will flood to the shore, and if you raise fish there, a heavy rain can wash you away half of it." ”

Yu Jiayan frowned slightly, "In this way, Zhuangzi will not be affected by the river?" ”

"No, it won't." Sun Yaren waved his hand slightly at Yu Jiayan, "You will know when you go to see it, if you go to the river bank from those two Zhuangzi, it will be downhill all the way." It was the year before last that the Qingshui River was flooded, and the water failed to reach the Zhuangzi. That was the biggest flood in Fuxing County in the past 50 years. Otherwise, how can I say that those two Zhuangzi are good anywhere? ”

Yu Jiayan was relieved when he heard this, but if it was downhill all the way, it would take a lot of effort for them to divert water from the river.

Mingyue obviously thought of going with him, and she reminded Yu Jiayan in a low voice, "Waterwheel." ”

Yu Jiayan gently squeezed his daughter-in-law's hand under the cover of his sleeve, "I know." Feel relieved. ”

Although Sun Yaren didn't see the small movements of the two, Mingyue didn't miss out when he mentioned the waterwheel.

Thinking of another business coming to the door, Sun Yaren couldn't help but be a little excited, "Are you two planning to get a waterwheel to draw water?" ”

Yu Jiayan did not hide it from him, "Although there are wells and ponds in Zhuangzi, we still want to bring some river water to Zhuangzi. ”

Sun Yaren nodded to show that he could understand, "It is indeed more convenient to dig a canal and divert river water to irrigate the land than to use well water." ”

Yu Jiayan smiled slightly, "When the time comes, I will trouble you to find us a few reliable carpenter masters." ”

Sun Yaren nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I'll cook it properly for you." ”

***

After reading all the two Zhuangzi accompanied by Sun Yaren, Mingyue made an appointment with Sun Yaren to take all the two Zhuangzi into her pocket.

Yu Jiayan quietly asked her, "Do we have so much silver in our family?" ”

Mingyue shook her head, "I'm going to buy the small one, and the big one I'm going to book for the big brother and them." ”

The Wang family is in urgent need of money now, and the 100,000 yuan sold by Zhuangzi is urgent, but the more anxious they are, the more others want to lower the price.

The Sunya people sympathized with them, so they wanted to find them a relatively kind buyer, so that they could get some more money.

Among all the people Sun Yaren has dealt with, the Ming family and the Yu family are undoubtedly the most kind, which is why Sun Yaren immediately brought her and Yu Jiayan to the two Zhuangzi of the Wang family as soon as they heard that they were going to buy Zhuangzi in the next month.

Mingyue is not disgusted with Sun Yaren's help to the Wang family, in her opinion, although Sun Yaren is just a tooth man, he is also a kind, righteous and relatively kind person worthy of friendship.

This kind of person will help the Wang family today, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he will also help other people's families.

No one is good for a thousand days, no flower is red for a hundred days, even if he is a person who travels through, Mingyue does not dare to guarantee that he will never have a day when he will be in trouble.

The only thing she can do is to make more reliable acquaintances and friends before that.

At that time, even if only one or two of these people are willing to lend a hand, then it will obviously be much easier for her and Yu Jiayan to get through the difficult situation than when they are alone.

Out of the simple idea that helping others is helping oneself, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan did not press Zhuangzi's selling price.

They paid the deposit according to the market situation in an unconventional manner, and then went to the Ming family's house in the county seat, and told Ming Xu about the two Zhuangzi.

When Ming Xu heard this, he really moved his mind, and he found the bookkeeper from home and instructed the other party to urgently make up two thousand five hundred taels of silver for him to use to buy Zhuangzi.

Mrs. Ming didn't express any opinion after hearing about it.

Although she is an elder, she has always been responsible for putting away the deed and other deed papers for the major event of adding property to the family.

As for which to buy and which not to buy, when to buy and when not to buy, these old ladies don't have to worry about it.

If the old man Ming or Mingdi, Mingcheng, and Mingtang were there, they might still accompany Mingxu to see the grange, but now none of them are in the county seat, and the only one who can call the shots in the family is Mingxu, the long-term grandson who is upright.

Taking advantage of the time to make up money, Yu Jiayan also went back to his home.

Half an hour later, the two of them took enough money and rushed to Sun Ya's house.

Sun Yaren had already called Master Wang, the original owner of Zhuangzi, and the two groups of people quickly exchanged silver tickets and deeds at Sun Yaren's house, and then Sun Yaren went to the Yamen to help the Yu family and the Ming family to make a red deed.

The deed that belonged to the Ming family had the name of the old man Ming written on it as always, but Yu Jiayan, the Zhuangzi of the Yu family, let Sun Yaren help fall under Mingyue's name.
