On the Bai family's mule cart, because Hou Changping would drive the mule cart, Zhao Long stayed in the shop to help.

Wu didn't come either, she thought that she had asked Da Chun Niang to be busy for a day yesterday, and she couldn't find anyone to help today, anyway, she didn't know much about the ground, so she only asked Bai Chuanbai to take Bai Wei and Bai Shao to follow Hou Changping to see the land.

As for Bai Yunshi, this kid doesn't know where he went.

On a flat car, there were Bai Chuanbai and two little girls, as well as a waiting Changping who was in a hurry.

"Brother Bai, let me tell you, I just asked two friends, and they told me that on the road from Izumo Town to Shilipu, there are 35 acres of land to sell, all of which are good and good fields, which have been passed down from generation to generation. While skillfully whipping the mule, Hou Changping told Bai Chuanbai about this place.

"Ah, how much do they cost an acre of land?" Shirakawa asked.

"It was said that five taels of silver per acre, but it could not be sold for a long time, after all, thirty-five acres is too big, not a person can eat it, and now the family has been reduced to four taels of silver per acre, I think that no matter how hard you work hard, maybe you can buy three taels and a half of an acre, but then we can't show much interest in that land to reduce the price, these people, are all human spirits, if you show interest, he thinks you must buy, so the price will not be reduced." Hou Changping knew that Bai Chuanbai had an honest personality, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control the thoughts in his heart and suffer, so he taught him quietly all the way.

"Hey, hey, I don't know much about these things, but I believe in you, big brother." Shirakawa Bai smiled innocently.

Although he is honest and honest, he is not a fool, he knows that Hou Changping is for his good, so he is not angry, and because he knows that his weakness will not control his personal emotions, he secretly decided that he must shut up and not speak at that time, and only listen to Hou Changping.

The mule cart bumped and bumped, and finally stopped in front of a house in Izumo Town.

After Hou Changping stopped the mule cart, he took the lead in getting off the flat cart and knocked on the door of the house, "Zhang Xiucai, Zhang Xiucai, we were introduced by Lao Zhao." ”

"Ah, here we are." After someone inside answered, it didn't take long for the door to be opened, and a man wearing a cyan robe appeared in front of everyone, "Is it to buy land?" Please come in. ”

With that, he opened the door and let the people in.

After a few words of greeting, Hou Changping had not yet cut into the matter of buying land, so Zhang Xiucai asked first, "Can you buy the thirty-five acres of land?" ”

"Whether you can or not, it still depends on the price." Hou Changping pondered for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer, "According to the amount of mu, it is really too big, and it is probably difficult for ordinary people to eat it...... When we buy land, we all budget in advance, right? ”

"Then I'll wipe a zero for you, thirty-five acres of land is a big piece, and it is all good land handed down from my ancestors, if I wasn't in a hurry to go to Beijing to catch the exam, I wouldn't sell this land." That Zhang Xiucai said in a hurry.

A smile flashed in Hou Changping's eyes, but his expression was still very calm, "But our budget is also limited, so it's only a hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat your thirty-five acres of land." ”

"How much is a hundred taels?" That Zhang Xiucai's eyes lit up, "Actually, my land is really very good, I can't buy it with five taels of silver, but now I sell four taels and one acres, and I have lost a lot...... But if you really want it, I can also give you a cheap five taels of silver. ”

"We don't want you to be cheaper than five taels, just three taels and a half per acre, maybe those silver coins can, otherwise, we may not be able to buy this land......" Hou Changping saw that the fire was almost over, and released his own conditions.

"Ah, it's only three taels and a half......" Zhang Xiucai seemed a little frustrated, "This is not as simple as five taels of silver, this is enough to reduce eighteen taels......"

"We can't take it out either...... Hou Changping was also embarrassed, looking like he wanted to give money but had more than enough strength to do so.

"That's it......" Zhang Xiucai thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "That's it, three or two halves are three and two halves, but let's say okay, zero I don't wipe it, how much should be given, pay the money and immediately go to the yamen to cross the road, no one delays anyone, I am in a hurry to go to the autumn exam." ”

"Okay." Hou Changping immediately nodded, "Now we have to take a look at the land, if it is correct, we can pay the land deed today." ”

"Okay." At this point, looking at the ground has become a passing scene, and Zhang Xiucai nodded happily, and went directly to the mule cart of Bai Shao's family, and took them to Izumo Town to the ground next to the intersection of Shilipu.

It is indeed a fertile land, although Bai Shao can't see it, Bai Chuanbai is a frequent servant of the land, knowing that this land can be bought back at the price of three taels and a half of an acre, it is really him who takes advantage of it, so this money is much more happy.

On the spot, he took out one hundred and twenty-two halves and handed them to Zhang Xiucai.

That Zhang Xiu was a neat one, and immediately took out the title deed from his arms, and wrote the title deed document by himself, and after pressing the handprints on both sides, Hou Changping took it to Yamen in Xieyang County to cross the Ming Road, and when he came back after the red seal, this land really became Bai Shao's family.

Of course, more than a hundred taels of silver will be gone.

With a mood of half joy and half loss, the three of Bai Shaoye walked back to the food under the big sun.

The mule cart was given to Hou Changping, and he was going to cross the road to the title deed of Bai Laosan's family.

Originally, Hou Changping wanted to drive the mule cart to send Bai Shaoye and the three back, and then go to the Hou family's small mule cart to cross the Ming Road in Xieyang County, but Bai Shaoping was anxious and didn't want Hou Changping to delay the time back and forth, so he directly gave up his family's mule cart.

Anyway, it's not too far to walk home, and it won't take too long to walk, but the sun is a little tormenting.

At the end of August, when the weather was the hottest, the three of them returned to Izumo Town in about two cups of tea under the scorching sun.

Because it was too sunny, the master decided to trot into a small alley with a shady place and take a shortcut to eat for the day.

As a result, as soon as they got into the alley, they were stunned.

"Dad, take a look, is the one standing at the end of the alley?" Bai Wei, who had the sharpest eyes, bumped the Bai Chuanbai next to him with his elbow.

I saw three people standing at the junction of sunlight and shade at the end of the alley.

Led by a slightly older person, two relatively young people stood behind, in a zigzag shape, standing at the mouth of the alley.

And with his whole head and hands behind his back, he stared at the food shop not far away, as if he was thinking about something.

Bai Chuanbai looked at it carefully, and after confirming that the person was Old Man Bai, he immediately frowned puzzled, "That's indeed your master, why is your father here?" Don't you go into the shop? ”

No one could answer him, because Bai Shao and Bai Wei didn't know why Old Man Bai appeared here.

Bai Chuanbai had no choice but to stride behind Old Man Bai, and opened his mouth to shout, "Dad." ”

Old Man Bai turned his head in fright, and when he found out that it was Bai Chuanbai, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Third brother, it's you, why aren't you busy in the shop and appear here?" ”

"I ......" Bai Chuanbai opened his mouth and wanted to say that he had bought land, but fortunately, Bai Shao pulled the corner of his clothes at the right time next to him, and the words that came to his mouth became, "I'll go out and give something to someone, Dad." ”

"Oh, send something." Old Man Bai nodded, his eyes turned on Bai Shao, he didn't speak, turned his head again, and stared at the three words on the plaque.

"Dad, why don't you stand here and go in, it's noon, go have some food." Bai Chuanbai looked at the scorching sun hanging overhead, and was distressed to be exposed to the sun in this place with Old Man Bai, so he wanted to persuade him to go into the shop and sit for a while.

"Hey, hey, good boy." Old Man Bai listened to the words of his third son's concern, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "It's okay, I just passed by here and wanted to see you...... We're fine, so we won't go in. ”

"Daddy." Before his words fell, Bai Chuanlian on the side was anxious, "No, you always came to find the third child, have you forgotten this?" ”

"Hey, hey, it's fine." Old Man Bai looked puzzled, "Well, let's not go." ”

"That's okay." Bai Chuanqiang on the side rarely stood in the same queue as Bai Chuanlian, "Dad, have you forgotten what your mother explained before you came?" ”

As soon as he said this, Old Man Bai suddenly froze in place.

After about a dozen breaths, he let out a long sigh, slowly stiffened his waist, turned his head and said to Bai Chuanbai, "Third child, go back to the shop, I have something to tell you." A better user experience.
