Chapter 10 Buying Land

Qingyun remembered these things in his heart, hated only hated the man who lacked morality, and Song Qingyun, who was happy but harmed, gritted his teeth and stood up alone.

Perhaps the original owner's suicide by jumping into the river was also related to his loss of innocence, and for the first time, Qingyun began to face up to this matter. If this man is still alive, she can't just forget it, after all, there is still a bottomless pit in the belly, and for the sake of the child, he has the right to know who his father is.

While eating, Qingyun slowly chewed the slightly rough japonica rice, and instructed Ziling, "In the future, when Holly goes out of the city, you will follow her, and you will go wherever she goes." ”

Zi Ling looked at her with wide eyes, "Miss, why is this?" ”

"You've farmed at home before, so come back and talk to me if there's anyone selling land."

The intelligent Ziling suddenly tasted the meaning of her words, "Miss wants to buy land?"

Qingyun was noncommittal, and Zi Ling slapped happily.

"Miss don't have to be so troublesome, a few days ago I asked Tie Ge'er to take care of the family, he said that the rich man of our village moved his family to Yangzhou and is dealing with the family property, do you want to go and see?"

Qingyun was a little moved, looked at the starry sky outside, nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow you go and hire a carriage, and by the way, let you go home to see your father." ”

Zi Ling was stunned, and after a while, she reacted, and actually kowtowed to her on the ground, making Qingyun cry and laugh, and she was uncomfortable.

The second day was a good day, and after the third day of March, the wind was warm.

Qingyun didn't come out for a long time, one is to avoid Liu Changchun, the other is that she is old and has difficulty moving, Yang Langzhong touched her pulse a few days ago, saying that the fetal heartbeat is slow and urgent, and she is afraid of any accident and asks her to give birth at home.

Time waits for no one, she has to plan for herself early.

On the way, Qingyun asked the owner of the car who was driving, and learned that now she bought five taels of silver per acre, and she had nine hundred taels in her hand, and she could buy one hundred and eighty acres with all of them, a proper landlord.

She is not stupid enough to show off her wealth, I heard that the rich man Wang has twenty acres of fertile land under his name, these are enough, if all the rice is planted, it is also endless, and in the autumn the wind blows the wheat waves, which is very spectacular.

The carriage went all the way south to Ziling's village, looking at the willow trees that had already pulled out their buds on the side of the road, Qingyun was faintly anxious.

Spring ploughing is coming, will it be too late for her to buy land and sow seeds now?

"No, if Miss can buy it today, I will ask my father to soak rice seeds at night, three or five days later than others."

Song Qingyun was secretly happy in her heart, she was a white ding for rice planting, Ziling said that her father was a good farmer, but the yield of a few acres of thin land at home was low, and there was no money to rent land, so Ziling was sold as a slave.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Ziling knows her father's hardships and has never complained, which Qingyun appreciates.

When he came to the village, he first gave the coachman a few copper plates and asked him to buy a cup of herbal tea on the side of the road, and Qingyun, accompanied by Ziling, found the rich man's house.

There were a lot of people coming in and out of the gate, and it was inconvenient for Qingyun to show up, so he asked Ziling to come in to find the person in charge, and after a while, a rough woman came out, and after looking up and down, he took Qingyun in.

She was greeted by a middle-aged man in his forties, with a red rosacea nose and a look of disdain in his eyes.

Qingyun was dizzy from the sun along the way, and she didn't even provide a stool when she got here, and she wanted to buy it quickly.

So he said straight to the point, "I want to buy land, just quote a price." ”

When the housekeeper heard this, although he was skeptical, he still lowered his posture, "One hundred taels of silver, not a penny." ”

"Cheng, go through the formalities now, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

The housekeeper was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Qingyun to not even pay back the price, and he suddenly had a bad heart.

"I haven't finished speaking, there are still twenty taels of transfer fees, and I have to pay them all together."

Qingyun knew that he was blackmailing, and he didn't care about him, so she turned around and said to Zi Ling, who was holding her, "Let's go, go to other places to see, it's all over the mango seeds, and it's not appropriate to buy paddy fields." ”

The housekeeper didn't expect that his words were not a deterrent, and the deadline given to him by the rich man was to be sold before tonight, and there were a lot of people who asked for the price, and they found various reasons to negotiate with him, but he was reluctant to take less rebates for himself, so he missed the best time again and again.

"You wait!"

Qingyun stood still and looked at him with a faint expression.

The housekeeper took out the painful egg, beat his chest and said, "Just one hundred taels, Madame come with me." ”

Half an hour later, Qingyun trembled slightly as he clutched the title deed with his name written on it.

"Ziling, go to your house and have a look." She finally suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said after softening her face.

Zi Ling saw it in her eyes, happily agreed, and helped Qingyun to the north of the village.

In the three dilapidated thatched houses, Ziling's father and mother looked at the light clouds sitting on the edge of the kang with restraint.

"Madame, please have tea!" A pair of trembling hands held a tea bowl stained with dirt, Zi Ling came in at this time, snatched the tea bowl from her mother's hand, and said with a red face, "Mother, Madame is used to bringing her own cup when she goes out." ”

This is indeed Qingyun's habit, he developed it in his previous life to carry it with him, and he didn't change it when he got here.

Zi Ling Niang sneered, and pressed her little son who wanted to come over and grab the snack box on the edge of the kang.

Qingyun smiled and looked at the four children standing on the ground, and marveled at Zi Lingniang's fertility, this is one in two years, and the more she is born, the poorer she becomes.

"Uncle, aunt." Qingyun pondered for a long time before speaking, although she and Ziling were masters and servants, but from modern times, there was no distinction between high and low in their minds, which made the two of them honestly afraid.

"Madame can torment the two of us, you can call me Yang Da."

"Yang Da, I brought Ziling here this time because I bought twenty acres of land from the rich man's house, I want you to help me with it, and take two taels of silver a month, what do you think?"

Yang Da and his wife were both frightened, and Zi Ling on the side said to Qingyun with red eyes, "Miss, you are giving too high." ”

Qingyun looked at her and said with a smile, "There are so many places, I can count on your father." ”

Yang Da and his wife knelt on the ground and kowtowed with a "poof", Qingyun was unable to move, so he quickly let Ziling and the two of them get up.

"Yang Da, you can't be busy with these lands alone, come to the city and tell me when you plant seedlings, I will pay as many people as you want, as long as you get the ground servant right."

After leaving Ziling's house and walking out of the distance, I looked back and saw that Ziling Niang was still waving at them, Ziling said with red and swollen eyes, "Miss, you are a noble person of my family, and my mother said that she wants to be a living bodhisattva for you." ”

Oops, Qingyun can't cry or laugh.

"Don't let your mother do this, I'm afraid of losing my life, I can't afford it."

After returning to the county seat, the big stone in Qingyun's heart also fell to the ground, and finally didn't let the silver rot in her hands, and there was a harvest if she had land, at least she didn't have to worry about running out of rice to eat in the future.
