After eating a few pieces of dim sum, Wang Ce took care of Gu Wan's house over the years, as well as the income from taking care of a small village that Gu Wan bought, and the detailed account book of expenses, and Gu Wan also looked through it seriously.

Although he is a relative, Gu Wan doesn't value this bit of money, but he can see Wang Ce's temperament from this account, if he is greedy for ink, Gu Wan will never say anything, after all, when she sent the silver, she only said that it was the cost of taking care of the house, and there was no regulation on how much the annual expenses should be maintained.

But from now on, she will only have face to Wang Ce, and she will never trust her.

Since Gu Wan began to exercise her five senses, she has not said that she will never forget, a page of a book, as long as she reads it three times, she can remember it clearly, and it is naturally fast and fast to read an account, but in a moment, she finished reading a thin account sent by Wang Ce, but she was quite speechless - Wang Ce is too real, even the broom used to clean up the damaged yard has to be listed one by one, and he pays for it out of his own pocket, which takes care of the house, and it costs less than ten yuan in three years.

Over the years, every time the Cheng'an Dart Bureau went to Yazhou, Gu Wan had to send a sum of silver, not much, at most a few dozen taels each time, Gu Wan was indeed not short of money, the price of the raw materials in her store was very low, like buying a piece of unprocessed jade, that is, the price of her sewing a set of clothes, the kind that could be completed in three months at most, and the silver was even lower.

For three years, she just went to the Shanglang embroidery workshop to sell embroidery, and there were more than ten taels of income a month, and she said that it was higher, but it was only doubled, and she could save two hundred taels of silver when it was full in a year......

In this way, Gu Anran still felt that he let his sister make money to support the family, it was too unreasonable, and he was not happy that his sister's embroidery work would go out, not to say that he could go to the field to farm, and he could also go out to write letters to people to supplement the family, or Gu Wan couldn't see it well, so he asked Grandpa Guo to scold him, which made him reluctantly agree to Gu Wan to work as an embroiderer and go out to sell.

Gu Wan remembered that at that time, she was facing the mountains of gold and silver, and she didn't dare to take them out and use them, that feeling was really aggrieved!

Looking at the balance of one hundred and thirty-eight taels of silver on the account, Gu Wan gritted her teeth, and once again rushed to this elm-headed person, it was no problem to use it to watch the house, but it was impossible to forge ahead.

With so much silver, this Uncle Wang couldn't think of continuing to buy land and land!

Gu Wan was helpless, and continued to read, she remembered that next to the thirty hectares of wasteland that Wang Ce had favored at that time, there was a Zhuangzi that originally belonged to a small local landlord, because of frequent natural disasters, the fields had not been cultivated for many years, and they had become wasteland.

Sure enough, the income of this Zhuangzi was very small, barely breaking even.

This is absolutely no wonder Wang Ce, the Zhuangzi he bought for Gu Wan is not big, only more than 30 acres of land, it is still wasteland, it is not easy to open up wasteland, the cost is very large, there is no water source, it takes several miles of mountain roads to water and irrigate the land, there are really not many people who are willing to rent seeds, and they can only rent less, so they can barely maintain it.

The corners of Gu Wan's mouth twitched for a long time, and she said with a wry smile: "Uncle Wang, it's really hard for you, tell me about the situation of the thirty hectares of wasteland, I remember you said that the government's bid is eight hundred taels?" ”

Wang Ce rubbed his hair innocently, hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "Yes, that wasteland, it costs eight hundred taels of silver, but it's really not worth much, if you want me to say, the little lady really wants to buy a house and land, and she should wait slowly, and when there is good land, buy this piece of land, I'm afraid I won't be able to get much food, and it will be difficult to water......

If it is good land, 800 taels can buy 30 hectares, which is naturally cheap, but this wasteland, no matter how cheap it is, no one is willing to ask for it. Gu Wan smiled, what she wanted was that no one wanted it - wasteland is a big problem for others, for her, it is not a big deal, apply fertilizer well, cultivate intensively, and get a waterwheel to water it, it will not take two years, and this wasteland will become fertile soil.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I know in my heart, I will raise money in a few days, and I will ask Uncle Wang to help me complete the formalities."

Wang Ce saw that Gu Wan had already made a decision, so he didn't say much, and promised in a low voice: "Don't worry, little lady, this is sending money to the yamen for nothing, and they have no reason not to agree." ”

After a few more gossips, Gu Wan personally sent Wang Ce and his daughter-in-law out of the house, and went back to think about how to make a sum of money first and buy the land.

Yazhou, Xingyuan, twenty miles east of the city, there is an ancient ferry, which was left by the previous dynasty, which was already depressed, but since it was requisitioned by the Mu family the year before last, this once lonely ferry seems to have regained the scenery of the past, and the boats come and go, and gradually become lively and lush.

Next to the ferry, there is a courtyard of the seventh son of the Mu family, which looks very ordinary, no different from the courtyards of several large families around, or even more simple. The dark gate, two old Pixiu erected on both sides, every month, there are four or five days of liveliness, other times, always because the owner is not there, it seems to be sparse.

Today, the annex is rarely very popular.

When Sun Darttou arrived, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and he knew all the guys in the dart game who were guarding the door, so he walked over to say hello and handed over a few pieces of money for drinking.

"Brother Sun, I heard that our son-in-law, the little lady you took special care of has come to Yazhou?" The one who spoke was a young man, surnamed Zhu, called Zhu Gang, and he was twenty-seven or eighteen, but don't look at him young, but three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been working in the dart bureau, and in terms of qualifications, he is similar to Sun Darthead.

Sun Dart smiled: "Yes, I went to Xingyuan this time, in addition to seeing the son, I also wanted to find Lao Liu to do a favor and make some furniture for the little lady, this time the journey is far away, except for valuable objects, they didn't bring anything, other people's craftsmanship, I am afraid that I will not enter the eyes of the little lady, or Lao Liu is reliable." ”

Zhu Gang's face suddenly showed a little strange, it seemed that he didn't expect Sun Darttou to value the two brothers and sisters so much, when the seventh prince asked him to take a detour back and forth, and took a special trip to Shanglang, he was quite impatient, but he didn't expect that later, this old man who was a serious man, went to do things every year, and when he didn't go to Shanglang, he would be uncomfortable - if he didn't know that the little lady was only ten years old this year, when Sun Dart's granddaughter was Cheng, and Sun Dart's sister-in-law was also deeply affectionate, and after more than 30 years of wind and rain, it was the sister-in-law who only had a daughter, and there was nothing to do. He didn't have the idea of taking a concubine, he couldn't say it, Zhu Gang wanted to be crooked.

Sun Darttou didn't know what Zhu Gang was thinking, and said, "You go and help me find Lao Liu, and let him take the time to go with me as soon as possible...... By the way, Childe is available? ”

"Where can the son go at this time, he is in the West Cross Courtyard." Zhu Gang smiled, rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice, "You want to borrow Lao Liu and go and tell Gongzi in person, Gongzi is using him in the past two days!" ”
