Chapter Seventy-Six: Property Purchase
Xia Li noticed the bow and arrow and material on the table again, got up and went over to fiddle with the bow and arrow for a while, this gift was really sent to her heart. I touched the two horses again, one cherry red soft satin, one azure silk, good feel, beautiful color, is a girl who does not love beauty, she also likes it.
She opened the brocade box that Zeng Lizhang had given, and inside was a string of nanmu beads. Thinking of the sunbird he begged for, Xia Li had a headache.
By the way, there are three purses.
She took out the purse from her arms and opened it, Mrs. Zeng rewarded five taels of silver, Mrs. Zeng rewarded two silver ingots of ten taels, and Ye Feng still gave one hundred taels of silver tickets.
plus the six hundred and fifty taels, it was more than seven hundred and seventy taels of silver.
A trip to the provincial capital made so much money, and the third uncle also became an official. It completely changed the quality of her life in the future, and also disrupted her peaceful mind......
And in the bamboo courtyard of Zeng's mansion, Ye Feng has also been standing in front of the window, looking at the half moon in a daze. After the meal, he couldn't do anything, and sent Liu Changzhao, who still wanted to stay in his room, just stood and thought about his thoughts.
It's amazing, it's incredible.
He couldn't figure it out, why that little girl, as well as the Mao Xuewang and fish ball soup she made, made him feel a sense of familiarity, and they all remembered that strange dream?
Although he didn't see the girl in the dream clearly, he also knew that she was an extremely tall and good-looking girl. And this little girl Xia, although she is beautiful and lovely, she is still a half-grown child who has not grown, and her figure and hairstyle do not match the person in her dream at all, so she should not be the same person......
But why do you feel déjà vu when you see her and eat what she makes?
He would be back to camp early to-morrow, and he would have to find an excuse to see the little girl and see her shoot arrows......
At two o'clock the next day, Xia Shan came to knock on Xia Li's door.
Xia Li didn't sleep well at night, but he still got up with dark circles under his eyes. As soon as the two of them finished breakfast, the shopkeeper He and the coachman came in a carriage.
Xia Shan and Xia Li hurriedly went back to the house to get their things and get into the carriage. At this time, it is the beginning of the hour, and you can get to Tongning County at noon.
Shopkeeper He smiled brightly, and he was more enthusiastic about Xia Shan and Xia Li.
On the way, Xia Li said that he wanted to buy some fields in the county seat and buy another house.
Shopkeeper He smiled, "I know two Yaren, and I'll accompany you." ”
With the help of the old fritter shopkeeper, Xia Li was more at ease.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the carriage went directly to the Yixiang Restaurant, and the shopkeeper He invited them to the restaurant for dinner.
At the door of the restaurant, Xia Li actually met two acquaintances, Li Xiumin and Li Xiuwen. Li Xiuwen is eleven years old, just entered the school in the spring of this year, studied in the county school, and is a well-known prodigy in Sancao Town.
Li Xiumin heard that Xia had left the provincial capital and was envious.
Xia Li quietly laughed, "I also brought a gift for Sister Li, and I'll send it to you later." ”
Li Xiumin smiled even more crookedly.
They had already finished eating, and a few people laughed and left.
Xia Li noticed that the third uncle's face was red to the back of his ears, and his eyes followed Li Xiumin's shadow forward, forward.
Third uncle, is this a spring heart?
If it was the original, he would definitely not dare to think about the beautiful and talented daughter, but now that he is an official, he will dare to think about it.
However, Xia Li is pessimistic. The reputation of the Xia family in that area is not good, especially picky, and they also treat their daughters-in-law, daughters, and granddaughters harshly.
Li Xiucai and his wife only have a son and a daughter, and they both hurt like eyeballs, and they are also very good at picking sons-in-law. So much so that Li Xiumin is fourteen years old, and he hasn't decided on anyone yet. They also know the Xia family, how can they marry their daughter to the Xia family to suffer.
Empathy, if it was Xia Li, he would not want his sister to be Mrs. Xia's daughter-in-law. Even in modern times, if you get married, you will live alone, and you don't want to have a bad mother-in-law like Mrs. Xia.
The third uncle is really a good offspring, with ideals, a future, quality, and appearance, but it is a pity that such a "four-have" young man was affected by the old lady.
There is an inn on this street, called Wanglai Inn. After eating, Xia Li and Xia Shan went to the inn to open two rooms, put their things away, and went downstairs to Yaxing with Shopkeeper He.
It is convenient to have a carriage, and I ran three tooth lines in a row.
In the first tooth line, he took a fancy to the twelve acres of paddy fields, and the tooth man was familiar with the shopkeeper He, saying that it was a good paddy field, in the north of Jitou Village. There was no price increase, seven taels of silver per mu.
Xia is happy, if it is really good, buy it, Jitou Village is not far from Xiaowa Village. Although he could not spend all the two hundred taels of silver as he wished, he could not buy unsuitable land for the sake of spending it. Of course, whether to buy the 12 acres of land or not, we still have to wait until tomorrow to see the land.
When I got to the third tooth line, I took a fancy to three more people. The couple brought a son, the original owner was a big landowner, because his son was imprisoned for committing a crime, and in order to get his son, he sold most of the land and sold some people.
The husband and wife are named Zhu Er, 27 years old, the woman Yang is 26 years old, and the son Zhu Cai is 9 years old. The three of them look honest, they are in good health, they are tall and big, and they belong to tall people in the countryside here, so they are also expensive.
Xia Li originally only took a fancy to the two couples, but they begged to sell their son together, Xia Li couldn't bear to separate their flesh and blood, so they bought it together, a total of twenty-two taels of silver.
A few people didn't expect to be able to sell it in one place, and they were overjoyed, kneeling down and kowtowing to thank them.
Liu Yaren also recognized Xia Li, and said with a smile, "The little lady was unlucky last time, and she didn't like it twice." This time is good, I fancy three at a time. Then he asked, "Do you still buy a boy?" I have two good ones here. ”
Xia Li smiled and shook his head.
This place is relatively close to the county government, and Xia Shan and Liu Yaren rushed to apply for a slave deed, and it was still too late. Xia Li led Zhu Er and a few people to the Wangcai Inn, and opened a room for them to wash.
When Xia Shan came back, Xia Li put away the deed, and a few people went to the lobby to eat. I wish the two people to come behind them to serve, and Xia Li let them go to another table to eat.
Xia Shan gave Xia Libibi a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Lili is good, and everyone has bought it." ”
Xia Li said with a smile, "The third uncle is an official, and I am also a lady of the official family, of course I have to use a subordinate." ”
It made Xia Shan laugh.
Xia Lida hit a snake the night before yesterday, and thought about Ye Feng the night before yesterday and last night, but he didn't sleep well, and he fell asleep on the pillow today, and he dreamed all night until dawn.
Early the next morning, after everyone finished breakfast, they went to hire an ox cart and put things on it, Xia Li and Zhu Er's family sat on it, Xia Shan rode a high-headed horse, and then called the tooth man, and went to Jitou Village to see the fields together.
A few days after the rice harvest in those 12 acres of fields. It is not far from the Wujiang River, and irrigation is also convenient. Xia Shan and Zhu Er grabbed the dirt and looked at it, and they both said it was good.
