"It's also appropriate to fall on Brother Xie, so you asked me to inquire about the sale of the field, and Li Zhaoxuan is going to sell the field in a few days, isn't it God's intention?" Han Zhengye said with a smile.

It turned out that the term of office of Li Zhaoxuan, the Xuanfu envoy of Linzhang County, expired, and the envoy moved to the capital with his family. It is not easy to live in the capital, so I will sell a few Zhuangzi in Linzhang County, and entrust Han Zhengye and a few other Yazi to handle this matter.

Among them, there is a Zhuangzi, with 35 acres of good land, 40 acres of bad land, three tiled houses with yards, is a village head in charge, just near Gangshang Village. What is remarkable is that these fields are all connected, and there are rivers and ponds nearby, which is also very convenient for irrigation. Li Zhaoxuan's housekeeper clearly said that he would sell it for five hundred taels of silver, and he would not lose a penny.

This price is also reasonable, the market price of the field is ten taels of silver for one acre of good land, three taels of silver for one acre of inferior land, a total of four hundred and seventy taels. In addition to the three tiled houses with yards, these 75 acres of land are still contiguous, and the vicinity is also convenient for irrigation, so it is not expensive to sell for 500 taels of silver. If you are not in a hurry to sell, and slowly find a buyer, it is enough to buy five hundred and fifty taels.

When Han Zhengye heard this, he hurriedly came to Xie's house to inform Xie Qingshan and asked him if he could scrape together enough money to buy this great Zhuangzi. Time is in a hurry, if he doesn't make a move, some of them are rich and noble families who have their eyes on this large field.

Xie Qingshan was happy and worried for a while, all the He Shou Wu and other medicinal materials sold were only sold for a total of two hundred and forty-five taels of silver, and five or six taels were used to buy other flowers, and the family was full of money, and it was only two hundred and forty taels of silver. There are still two hundred and sixty taels left, where can I get these two hundred and sixty silver? Originally, I thought that two hundred and forty-five taels of silver was already a huge amount of money, and if I was careful, I couldn't spend it in this life, but when I really used it, I realized that this money was not much.

Xie Qingshan asked Han Zhengye, whether the Zhuangzi Li Zhaoxuan's mansion was dismantled and sold, Han Zhengye said: "Brother Xie, Li Zhaoxuan's mansion is an official body, how can it be dismantled and sold?" ”

Just when Xie Qingshan had no choice but to push back, Xie Xuan glanced at Xie Qingshan and whispered, "Grandpa, have you forgotten?" The big mushrooms we picked a few days ago, aren't they just right for use? ”

Xie Qingshan asked Xie Xuan in a low voice: "Let's go and sell it?" ”

Xie Xuan said: "With such a good opportunity now, if you don't buy this piece of land, who will sell such a big field in the future?" Didn't the Fu family say a few days ago that if they found a medicinal herb of the previous year, they could sell it to their family? This time, we'll go straight to them! ”

So Xie Qingshan said to Han Zhengye: "Brother Han, our family has no cash now, I have to raise some silver, wait until tomorrow, no matter whether I can raise money or not, I will reply to you tomorrow!" ”

Han Zhengye repeatedly told him as soon as possible, and he had no choice but to go back.

So Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian took Xie Xuan up the mountain first to pick the two big Huangzhi back, Xie Xuan carefully collected the spores sprayed by Huangzhi in the oil paper, and the three of them went down the mountain together.

After coming back, they didn't dare to delay the time, so the grandfather and grandson changed into the clothes newly made by Xie Wang's family, took the bamboo basket and pocketed the three large, one small and four Huangzhi, and prepared to go to the Fu family villa in the back mountain of Qingxuguan.

Qingxuguan is on the edge of the city not far from Linzhang County, backed by Taihang Mountain, and the mountain villa of the Fu family is located on the mountain behind Qingxuguan.

Because he was in a hurry, Xie Pingtian borrowed a mule cart from Zhou Laomai's house in the village and hurried to Qingxuguan. The little Taoist boy who was guarding the door in front of the view inquired about the direction of the Fu family's villa, and left Xie Pingtian to watch the mule cart at the bottom of the mountain, and the grandfather and grandson climbed the mountain and crossed the ridge towards the mountain.

Along the way, the mountains are beautiful, the forest foothills are deep, the cliffs are strange stones, the cliffs are cut and the peaks are strange, the forest occasionally sees the longevity deer fairy fox, and the spirit bird and crane are hidden in the trees. The cry of the bird is close to people, and the source is clear in the ears.

From afar, you can see the mountain covered with clouds and mist, and a building with carved beams and paintings is hidden in the middle, like the dwelling of immortals.

Xie Xuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, whether it was ancient or the twenty-first century, it was still the rich and powerful who could monopolize the scenery.

It is often said that nature will not be stingy with its beautiful scenery, and both the aristocracy and the poor can see infinite scenery, but the reality is that the rich and powerful can enjoy the lofty or magnificent beauty every day, while they, the common people, can only look at one or two silhouettes cast by them with envy.

This mountain is high and the forest is deep, although there are beautiful mountains and rivers, strange flowers and grass to enjoy, but Xie Xuan is still tired and sweating, Xie Qingshan wanted to carry her, but she refused.

Half an hour later, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, and explained their intention to the old man who was guarding the door, and the old man invited them to wait in the pavilion in front of the door, and called a little man who did not leave his head to go in and report, and then served them a pot of golden orange chrysanthemum tea.

Zhumen wine and meat stink! Xie Xuan complained with jealousy in her heart, and poured two cups of tea fiercely, which poured the dryness in her heart.

Turning his head to look at the surrounding scenery, breathing in the humidity of the clouds and mist in the mountains, it is already late autumn, but on the top of this mountain, he only saw the thick light green in his eyes, Xie Xuan couldn't help but sigh, it's good to be rich!

sighed for a long time, and couldn't help but strengthen my determination to make money.

While they were resting, the servant came and led them in.

After entering this mountain villa, it really changed the scenery and changed endlessly, which made Xie Xuan overwhelmed. The pavilions and pavilions in the garden, the pond and the small bridge are combined with the original forests and ravines in the mountains, and the people walk in the garden, such as the line of picture scrolls, which have the interest of the traditional Chinese landscape flowers and birds, and reveal the artistic conception of Tang and Song poems everywhere.

Looking at the scenery here, Xie Xuan couldn't help but think of Wang Wei's mountain residence in autumn, "After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn." The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream. The bamboo noise returns to the Huannu, and the lotus moves the fishing boat. Feel free to rest in spring, and Wang Sun can stay at his own discretion", this is what Wang Wei wrote when he lived in the mountain villa of Luchai in Gongchuan.

At first, Xie Xuan thought that Wang Wei lived in a thatched hut in the mountains and lived a miserable life, but he didn't expect to learn later that he lived in a serious mountain villa, not a small thatched hut.

Don't look at his poems written lightly and simply, as if living in the mountains, it seems to be living like Du Fu, "the high wind roars in August and autumn, rolling up the triple thatch on my house", "the bedside house leaks without a dry place, and the rain feet are like hemp and not cut off", in fact, people live in a mountain villa, and they serve servants around them, and they live a half-hidden and half-official life every day, not to mention how cool it is!

Isn't this the Fu family living such a half-official life right now? I listened to a few words of Liu Yiti chatting with Fu Laodao in Baicaotang, and I knew that this Fu Laodao was originally a dignitary in the court, and when he was an official, he had come to Zhangxian County on a business trip, and he admired the scenery of Taihang Mountain. After returning to his hometown, because of the seeker in his heart, he came to this Taihang Mountain, found a beautiful place, and built this Fu family villa to be a place to participate in meditation and alchemy.

Looking at this villa shrouded in fairy mist and covered by pavilions, Xie Xuan couldn't help but curse the official and aristocratic class of the Ming Dynasty like the poor masses cursed the bourgeoisie, like a poor dick, while cursing in his heart, he longed for this kind of life in his heart.
