79 Reading Network Reminder: You can quickly find us in "79 Free" or "79 Reading Network" et Da Lang listened carefully to the situation of that piece of land, and was very happy to learn that it had nothing to do with the Wei Wangfu or the Qinghua County Lord. 79 free reading network 79 errand, He Zhizhong also exempted him from going to the shop, just half a day's work, so Xingxing went around to the cold shop in the East City, ready to buy some cold Tao home for the women and children to eat fresh.

As soon as the cousin finished packing the food box, Da Lang saw Zhang Wulang walking over. Zhang Wulang was wearing a moon-white robe today, and he did not tie a fine robe on his head, but wore a green gauze head in a regular manner, and his sleeves were not rolled up as high as in the past, but hung flat on his wrists. Seeing that the anger and brute spirit were a little less, Si got up. Da Lang was secretly surprised, and he couldn't help but greet him with a smile: "Where is Gorou from?" ”

Zhang Wulang was slightly uncomfortable, saluted Da Lang, and said with a smile: "Little brother Shi just heard that my brother came here, and I specially looked for it." At a glance, he couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw a few big food boxes in the hands of the He family's little servant: "My brother bought so many cold tao, is he busy sending them home?" ”

Because of his help last time, Da Lang refused to be greedy at all, and he only ate a banquet to finish the matter, but he didn't ask for the gift prepared by He Zhizhong, and he didn't say anything superfluous after that, so his impression of him changed a little. There was a bit of casualness and affection in the words: "Exactly, I can go home early when I have leisure today, thinking that they all love to eat, so I specially went around here to buy it." After speaking, he first asked the little maid to send the food box home, and pulled Zhang Wulang into the store to invite him to eat cold tao.

Zhang Wulang didn't push back the fourth, and ate with Da Lang generously, and the two only gossiped about some business on the market. Seeing that he was talking and acting a lot, Da Lang couldn't stand it, so he said, "What good things have Gorou done recently?" ”

Zhang Wulang said: "Speaking of this, the younger brother is trying to ask my brother for advice and ask my brother for a favor." As he spoke, he really got up and saluted Da Lang.

Da Lang hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, but I will never shirk anything I can help." ”

Zhang Wulang said sadly: "A few of our brothers thought that they couldn't last long if they were idle like this all day, so they got together and opened a rice shop." It's just that it's illegal to do business, it's easy to open up, it's hard to operate, and no one comes to buy rice. Please help my brother think of a way for my younger brother. ”

No wonder I had to dress like this, it turned out that I had changed my career. Da Lang smiled: "Brother is telling the truth, don't be angry when Gorou hears it." The big guys probably didn't dare to come to the door. "Big families have their own villages for rice and grain, most of the people who buy rice and grain in the outside shop are small old surnames, like Zhang Wulang and other evil people in the market, it is famous, if it is short of two catties, there is nowhere to redress grievances, who dares to provoke him.

Zhang Wulang was not angry, scratched his head and scratched his ears and said: "Little brother, I also think that this is probably the case, but I can't force people to buy it." They felt that the omen was not good, so they went to the rice shop next door to catch an old man, and forced people to come and buy it, but they were so scared that they fainted to death, and they paid for the medical expenses.

Da Lang couldn't think of any good idea to quickly get people to think of him in just a few days, so he comforted: "It's not so easy to do business. Or are you dissatisfied that the streets are all businessmen? It's good if you have this heart, the key is to buy and sell fairly, reputation first, everyone sees it, and slowly there will be business. ”

Zhang Wulang wilted for a moment, didn't know what to think, and suddenly became happy again, slammed the table, rolled up his sleeves high, and said loudly: "Brother, someone gave the younger brother two fish that were picked up from the river, which are very fat." The younger brother ate the table noodles at his brother's house last time, and he never had a chance to return it, so he just took this opportunity to return the table today. Brother don't want to excuse himself, the younger brother will go and order someone to clean up, and the brother will ask my uncle, Shiro and a few of them to come over for me, and let's be happy and happy together. ”

Seeing him, Da Lang instantly forgot about it, and returned to his previous appearance, and finally felt that weirdness was a little weaker, and held back a smile and said: "Gorou forgive me, I can't do it today, I still have something to do, another day my brother will be the east, please have a drink with your brothers." 79 Free Reading Network 79x."

Zhang Wulang reacted in hindsight, thinking that he had already exposed the stuffing anyway, and then pretending to be annoying like a girl, he rolled up his sleeves higher, looked at Da Lang and said with a smile: "The younger brother is used to being a rough person, and he wants to be a man, but he can't do it, so my brother laughs." ”

Seeing that he was bold, Da Lang thought he was cute, personally poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Gorou is Goro, what a Si person!" Brother, I can't be a Laisi person. ”

Zhang Wulang liked his words, and said happily: "Brother, you wait for me." After saying that, he took a big step and ran away.

Da Lang didn't know what he was going to do, so he couldn't stop it, so he had to sit and wait for him to come back, and after a while, Zhang Wulang personally brought two fat river carp over, and stuffed it into the hands of the He family's little servant: "Take it, go home and make it for your aunts, sisters-in-law and nephews to eat!" ”

The little guy only looked at Da Lang's eyes, and Da Lang knew that Zhang Wulang was a bold person, so he happily thanked him, and ordered Xiao Lang to accept it, Zhang Wulang was so happy that he personally sent him to the street corner to go by himself.

Da Lang didn't go far, and suddenly remembered one thing, didn't this Zhang Wulang get close to Shiro in the past? Why does he want to ask for ideas in business but don't go to Shiro and block himself? He looked at the two fat fish, and no matter how he looked at them, he felt a little strange.

When Da Lang arrived at home, he ordered the little maid to send the two river carp to the kitchen to clean up, and asked the little maid to invite the peony out to ask for it.

After a while, there was a ring sound, the curtain was lifted, the faint fragrance of lotus flowers came with the wind, and the peony walked in with a smile with a peony fan with an ivory handle. Da Lang suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, but he saw that she was wearing a homely silk short shirt with a pine flower color printed with diamond-shaped flowers, a peach-colored six-piece Luo skirt, and an agarwood shoe on her feet, with red lips and white teeth, delicate and moving.

Seeing that his sister was as beautiful as a flower, Da Lang felt that it was really pleasing to the eye, and happily praised two sentences before talking about business: "I asked about the village you went to yesterday, and it was really not from Wei Wangfu, but the industry of Ning Wangfu." Because the field was sprinkled with oil and built up, it was extraordinarily smooth, so it was very famous in Beijing, and many nobles of the clan loved to borrow it to fight. So my sister doesn't have to worry, just buy it. ”

Peony immediately thought about it, these people really love to go there to fight, but it is a good opportunity for their soon-to-open peony garden. Fighting, flower appreciation, leisure, and flower shopping are exactly ***. Immediately, he said to Da Lang: "Then when are we going to see the ground?" ”

Da Lang smiled: "It's better to hit the day than tomorrow." ”

At dinner, He Zhizhong saw that there were suddenly two more plates of bighead carp on the table, and couldn't help laughing: "Who knows the opportunity so well, knowing that I want to eat bighead carp?" ”

Da Lang hurriedly said: "Today I went to Dongshi to buy cold tao, and I met Zhang Wulang, who gave it to me." ”

He Zhizhong put a spoon into his mouth, tasted it carefully, felt that the meat tasted sweet, and smiled: "It's still fresh." Why did he suddenly give you river carp? ”

Da Lang said: "First asked me about my business experience, and then said that I wanted to return the table, I said that there was something, and suddenly I sent fish." Then he asked Shiro, "Do you know about him opening a rice shop?" How did you suddenly change sex? ”

Shiro smiled: "Of course I know, I also went to give a gift at that time." I heard that he is old and wants to start a family, but the daughter of a good family can't look down on him, and he who is willing to follow him can't look down on others, so he has to clean up and do something serious. ”

He Zhizhong put another spoonful of fish into his mouth and said, "It's good that he has such an idea." 79 free reading network 79, how long can it last. ”

Shiro smiled: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult, and there is no business." He is notorious, and it is too late for people to hide from him, where will he send it to the door. Then he forced them to buy rice, but instead told them that they were stunned and lost money.

Erlang shook his head and smiled: "What kind of rice shop does a person like him?" If you really want to have a future, it is better to go to the army. ”

Rokuro laughed and said, "He wants to marry a wife, what kind of wife will he marry when he is in the army." In my opinion, if he really wants to find a living to support his family, he might as well go cockfighting. That one is best for people like him. ”

He Zhizhong snorted and scolded: "How can you underestimate others? What kind of business is a serious person doing cockfighting? Take it out and say it. ”

Liulang relied on the fact that he was a child, and usually everyone was not serious with him, so he retorted: "Where did you underestimate him?" Nowadays, don't they all say that you don't need to be literate to give birth, and it's better to fight cocks than to study. If I don't have a proper livelihood, I'm going to get chickens. There's no money that comes quickly. We worked hard to go to sea to buy goods, and it was easy to return safely, and how much saliva did it take to sell it. ”

When Wulang's daughter-in-law Zhang heard him say this, she felt that it was not conducive to prenatal education, and she was afraid that the child in her womb would follow her bad words after hearing these remarks, so she immediately got up and walked away. He Zhizhong's face also sank, and Aunt Yang, who was waiting on the side, saw this, and was busy trying her best to win, so Liulang reluctantly stopped.

He Zhizhong snorted coldly with a gloomy face: "Why don't you talk about those cockfights who went bankrupt and sold their wives and children?" If you say this in front of the children, you are not afraid that the children will be bad. I don't care about others, if anyone in my He family dares to get these immodest things, they will all break their legs and drive them out! I don't want to get a share. ”`

Seeing that he was serious, Rokuro didn't dare to say more, so he shrunk his neck and ate by himself. He Zhizhong was still angry and felt that the fish was not tasty. Seeing this, Mrs. Cen silently scooped him a bowl of chicken soup and said in a low voice: "The children are still young, what are you anxious about, just teach them slowly." ”

He Zhizhong sighed, and the taste in his heart could not be spoken. Liulang is only in his early twenties, and he is the youngest, and he usually doesn't have a close relationship with his brothers, so he knows that he is not practical in front of him, and now he has this kind of thought, and he is afraid that he will not have a good life after he dies.

Thinking of this, he worriedly set his eyes on the peony who was picking fish bones for He Chun, and secretly made up his mind that no matter what, before he closed his eyes, he must find a good home for the peony.

Peony was burying his head in removing fish bones for his nephew, and suddenly felt that He Zhizhong was looking at himself, so he looked up at He Zhizhong and smiled sweetly. He Zhizhong saw that she was smiling cutely, and the depression in his heart was soothed a lot, and he said softly: "Danniang is going to see the land tomorrow?" Daddy will go with you. ”

Peony can't ask for it.

On the second day, He Zhizhong and Da Lang took the peony out of the city early in the morning and went straight to the edge of the Yellow Canal. Bypassing King Ning's village, he went forward for about ten miles before he reached the ground.

About half a mile into a trail on the big right, it is a piece of dry land of about 100 acres. The dry land is surrounded by willow trees to separate it from the rest of the land, and if you want to keep outsiders out, you can simply plant thistles or wild roses to connect the willow trees. A small clear river dedicated to irrigation flows from the Yellow Canal and meanders along the willow trees on the left into the distance, which is very convenient for peonies to open a pond.

Da Lang felt that this land was the most suitable, and Peony was not very satisfied with it, just because the terrain was too flat.

In the modern peony garden, the flat terrain usually adopts a regular layout form, that is, the park is divided into regular planting ponds, in which various peony species are planted regularly, and the whole forms a neat geometric pattern. This kind of arrangement is neat and unified, which is convenient for interspecific research and research, and is the best arrangement form of peony professional garden for the purpose of ornamentation, production and preservation of seed resources.

However, Peony feels that in this era when the garden pays attention to changing the scenery, this kind of regular garden must not be popular, and can only be used to arrange special plantations, and is not suitable for the ancients who visited the garden for the purpose of appreciating flowers. What she wants is a terrain with ups and downs, with peony as the main body, harmoniously arranged with other flowers and trees, mountains and rocks, buildings and other natural configurations, to reach the peak turn, step by step, like a natural garden.

Seeing that Peony was silent, Da Lang couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Danniang, don't you look down on it?" ”

He Zhizhong also asked Peony: "What kind of do you want, you have to say it first, and your eldest brother can do it." ”

Peony blushed a little, which seems to be one thing, and it is another thing to actually do it. She knew that it was not easy for Da Lang to find this piece of land in this area, and it was also because she didn't make it clear in advance, so she didn't answer directly that she didn't like it, but smiled: "I think it's a little smaller, and it's a little flat, but let's look around first." ”

The land was sold by a family surnamed Zhou, who was demoted to Lingnan because his master was convicted, and he had no return date and needed money to pay for it, so he wanted to sell the land. Listening to what Peony said, not only was he not worried, but he was happy, and said with a smile: "If the little lady is too big, the small one can't be done, if it's too small, then there is really a way to solve it." ”

Peony seemed to have a good place when he heard him, and hurriedly said, "What do you say?" ”

Da Lang also said: "If there is any good land, don't hide it." ”

The old manager didn't make it clear once, and led forward with a smile: "Please come with a few little ones." He led a few people across the dry land, through the willow tree on the right, and only stopped when he came to the small river, and pointed to the other side of the river to show the peony people: "Actually, the river is also my family's, and it is this river, which was also brought by my master who thought of the law before." ”

Before, it was far away, and there was a willow tree in the middle, but the peony did not see clearly, and at this time, I saw that the willow tree was planted on the other side of the river, and it was about 20 zhang away, but it was a row of white walls and green tiles, which seemed to be someone's house.

He Zhizhong faintly understood in his heart that the old manager wanted to sell the house to his own family. With the shrewdness of the businessman, he realized that if this land and the house were just in line with Peony's wishes, he was afraid that it would not be cheap. Then he said tentatively: "The land here is not wide, only about twenty acres?" Whose house is that? ”

The old manager smiled slightly: "It's also the villain's family." Because the previous guest only said that he wanted the land, not the heart, so he did not take him over to see. How about guests go and see it first? "Led the people down, a simple bridge was built with pine wood on the downstream river, just enough for two people to pass side by side.

Da Lang wanted to help He Zhizhong, He Zhizhong waved his hand: "I haven't reached that point yet, go and help Danniang." With that, he lifted his robe and got on the bridge steadily. Da Lang had no choice but to turn around and take the peony, but when he saw that the peony had already run onto the bridge, he made a grimace at himself, and chased He Zhizhong in front of him.

Da Lang couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said with Yuhe: "Danniang is becoming more and more like a child." The old manager was good at observing words and feelings, and after seeing this break, he knew that it was his father and brother who bought a house for the favored daughter of the family, as long as it was Peony, the business was decided. After that, he was cautious, and became more and more interested in peonies, and he would not answer any questions.

But he said that Peony and the others crossed the bridge, but they saw that there was another one paved with cobblestones, about two zhang wide, leading straight to the gate of the house. Both sides are planted with old locust trees, blocking most of the sunlight, standing in the shade of the tree, but feeling the cool breeze, the sound of cicadas, so not pleasant.

Peony only walked on this one, and it already had a good impression. The old manager stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a man in his forties came out lazily and opened the door, and after glancing at Peony and the others, he knew that he was coming to see the house, and he didn't say much, so he just opened the door and avoided it.

The house is a two-entry quadrangle house, the middle hall, the backyard, the main bed, etc. are repaired in a decent manner, the furniture is half-new and not old, the style is not exquisite, the curtains and other things are very old or even empty, and the paint on the doors and windows has also fallen off almost the same. Peony was slightly disappointed at first glance, and couldn't help muttering to herself, this house doesn't look so small from the outside, how can it come in so big?

He Zhizhong got the permission of the old manager, and looked around at the foot of the wall, the rafters, the columns, the doors and windows, etc., but when he saw that they were still very strong, he felt a little reluctant. It's just that he has always been used to doing business, and his face is not shown at all, and he still has a disappointed look on Peony.

The old manager had been observing the peony's expression, and when he saw this, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly led the peony to the next door, and said with a smile: "If it's too small, there is a big garden next door, and there are also water pavilions in it." ”

Peony's eyes lit up and she followed him, but a moon door opened from the right porch in the backyard. Behind the moon gate is a garden of about ten acres, and it is really as the old manager said, there are streams, lotus ponds, pavilions, rockery flowers and trees, everything. But just like before, probably because no one was cooking, there was no life, the weeds grew half a man tall, the lotus leaves that were broken last year in the lotus pond were not removed, the railing was full of ash, and the paint had fallen a lot.

Although the peony is dilapidated, the overall pattern is good. In the future, you can separate this garden from her residence, take this as the source, and gradually expand, you can build a good garden, as for the acre of land on the other side of the river, in addition to being used as a seedling base, you can also plant some other flowers and trees, save the peony viewing season, there is no place to attract people to play, and then divide some land out to plant some village marrying vegetables or something, as long as it is planned properly, it is a wild fun.

Peony was about to speak, when He Zhizhong said with a slight displeasure: "What's going on with this house?" Didn't your master come to live here before? How did it become such a dilapidated look? It looks like no one has been caring for many years. ”

The old housekeeper's expression was slightly unnatural, but he quickly replied: "The head of the family went to Lingnan last year, and the little one stayed here to take care of these properties. Because I wanted to sell it for a long time, no one came to live, and there were many other chores at home, and there were few people, so it was put like this, but in fact, the bottom is still there, and it can be cleaned up a little. You see, the pattern of this garden is quite good, it is designed by famous artists, these lake stones, it also cost a lot of money to get it, the flowers and trees planted are also precious, and there are peonies, but no one takes care of it, so it looks inconspicuous. If the customer is eye-catching, the price is negotiable. ”

His words sounded reasonable, but He Zhizhong heard something different, so he said quietly: "Your house is connected to the land on the other side of the river, how much does it cost?" ”

The old housekeeper had already calculated, and said without hesitation: "My master is a real person, and he really wants to get rid of it, so he wants 6.66 million yuan." If nothing else, this stone will have to take care of some money. ”

This price peony is still acceptable, but He Zhizhong does not allow her to speak. This kind of price is not only not high, but also slightly cheaper, even if you are in a hurry to get rid of it, it is not your turn to pick up the leak after so long, thinking of this, He Zhizhong became more and more cautious: "As far as I know, there are many people who want to buy property in this vicinity, your garden is so good, the price is not high, and you have long wanted to sell it, why have you not been able to sell it?" ”

He paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Six or six hundred thousand yuan, why do you want such a amount?" What is the reason for this? Also, who doesn't sell land in a row? If you tear up the land on the other side of the river and sell it, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell it here? If you want to succeed in business, tell the truth, or I will be able to find out later. ”

The old manager hesitated and spoke slowly. 79x.
