Meet Xu Lingyi in the evening.

Xu Lingyi was a little disappointed: "Originally, Lao Zhuo and I had an extraordinary relationship, if it can be done, it will be a good thing." But I think that kid is a dignified person, but he is not clever enough. is a little worse than our sister. ”

"What then?" Eleven Niang said.

"I didn't say no without saying no." Xu Lingyi said, "I mentioned it briefly during the banquet, only saying that Sister Zhen grew up under her mother's knees, and most of her marriages are for her mother's nod." ”

Eleven Niang groaned: "It's best to say this." We have a room to maneuver. Then he told Xu Lingyi what Mrs. Tai said, "That son of the Wang family, you have to inquire carefully." ”

"That's what I thought too." Xu Lingyi said, "I sent someone to inquire this afternoon." There should be a reply tomorrow. He added, "In two days, the youngest son of Chen Ge's hometown will get married, and the Shunwang family has added a kid to invite the full moon ceremony, so be careful when you go." ”

Eleven Niang agreed, and it was strange that the youngest son of Chen Ge's hometown got married: "...... Which girl did you decide? ”

Xu Lingyi looked at her with a smile: "The eldest daughter of the Wanchun family, the political envoy of Gansu, has been decided." ”

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned, and then thought of the first time she heard the name Wanchun...... Her face was slightly pale.

Xu Lingyi leaned over when he saw it, and laughed in a low voice: "I don't know who the eldest daughter of Jinhua Prefect Wanchun is engaged to?" ”

Eleven Niang glared at him: "What do we have to do with other people's family affairs?" ”

Xu Lingyi laughed, hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "If you have nothing to do, we will also discuss!" ”

Suddenly the voice of the little maid came from outside the door: "Master Hou, madam, Linbo is here!" ”

"Let him come back tomorrow!" Xu Lingyi strode towards the bed.

Shi Niang gently pushed him: "It's so late, Linbo must have something urgent to come to you." You'd better see it first! ”

Xu Lingyi hesitated.

Eleven Niang struggled to come down: "Master Hou should go and have a look!" ”

Xu Lingyi put her on the bed and said in a low voice, "You wait for me for a while!" ”

Eleven Niang bowed slightly, looked at Xu Lingyi out of the inner room, and thought of his ridicule just now.

Yesterday's love was undoubtedly beautiful, Xu Lingyi should have felt it too, right?

Life experience has taught her that you can only seize opportunities when they come with hard work...... Then, she jumped at the chance, and it paid off. So in this lonely time and space, she followed the previous successful experience - trying to recover; Strive to be a pawn that a big lady can use; Strive to marry into the Yongping Marquis Mansion; Strive to get the affection of Mrs. Tai; Strive to be recognized by Xu Lingyi; Strive to become a good wife and mother in line with the mainstream of society!

But she forgot that the heart originally came from her own opinions.

In an environment where she had to work hard to fit in, when the daytime was over and she had to open up to accept the man who was a complete stranger to her, the effort became so embarrassing! Instinctively, she began to struggle...... Only ask the person holding her to give her a respect.

Eleven Niang stared at the light smoke of the fine arrowroot cloth tent.

Yesterday, I felt respected, so I was able to accept it calmly.

What about Xu Lingyi?

He teased himself like a child two days ago.

After thinking about it, Xu Lingyi walked in.

His face was pale.

"What's going on?" Eleven Niang cleaned up her mood and asked him.

Xu Lingyi sat on the edge of the bed, was silent for a moment, and said, "Eleven Niang, I'm going to Zhangqiu early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Zhangqiu?" Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi with some surprise.

Zhangqiu is a county in Shandong, and she had read about it in the "Chronicles of the Nine Domains of the Great Zhou".

What did he do in Zhangqiu?

Xu Lingyi seemed to be a little unspeakable.

Shi Niang didn't ask, and said, "How many days are you going?" The concubine can also help you prepare a change of clothes. ”

"Maybe seven or eight days!" Xu Lingyi said, thought about it, and said, "I'll rush back before you and the ceremony!" ”

Eleven Niang has always felt that birthday banquets and birthday gifts are icing on the cake, and she attaches more importance to the friendship in the snow.

"Master Hou doesn't have to care about the concubine's body and etiquette, or calmly handle things well." As she spoke, she called Luyun in, helped Xu Lingyi pack up her clothes, and opened the medicine box again, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, bring some Huo Qi Zhengxiang pills and mulberry chrysanthemum to drink." He also earnestly told him to be careful on the road, the weather is cold in the morning and evening, don't be too troublesome, remember to add or subtract clothes according to the climate, and so on.

Xu Lingyi nodded, but suddenly said: "Zhang Qiu, it's the second sister-in-law's foreign family!" The voice was a little stunned.

The second lady's foreign home? What did Xu Lingyi go there for? Even if something happens to the second lady's family, Master Xiang should come forward, and Xu Lingyi is also pulled in, something must be wrong!

Eleven Niang thought about it, and immediately sent the servants in the house, and asked Xu Lingyi in a low voice: "What happened?" Hou Ye also explained to the concubine, and the concubine had a number in her heart. Don't think about how to deal with it when it's over! ”

Xu Lingyi saw that Eleven Niang was like a great enemy, and hurriedly said: "It's not that something happened...... his tone paused, and after a while, he said a little unnaturally, "When the second sister-in-law got married, there was a lot of land in the box, which was the marriage of the old lady of the Xiang family, and pointed to let the second sister-in-law put it by her side." For a while, the family was in difficulty, so the second sister-in-law sold the land in private to supplement the family's ......," he said, looking a little embarrassed, "Later, although I returned the money for the sale of the land to the second sister-in-law, I thought that the grange was originally the dowry of the old lady of the Xiang family, and the second sister-in-law sold it privately. I was very uneasy. I want to buy some of the property back to make up for the deficit of my second sister-in-law. I've been asking people nearby to help watch. When I went to Zhangqiu this time, I heard that among the people who bought the land, some of them wanted to sell the land......"

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

Didn't Mother Tao say that the second lady's dowry was very shabby? How did a piece of land suddenly pop up? And listening to Xu Lingyi's tone, he was afraid that he would have to go by himself if he couldn't do it...... Is it because the person who sold the land was not afraid of Xu Lingyi's momentum and knew that he was in a hurry to buy the land back, so he deliberately raised the land price? Or are there other powerful families who also take a fancy to this land, and those who send stewards and the like are not sure that they can buy the land smoothly?

She was a little confused in her heart, and said casually: "Who is this person who sells land?" Can you find a relationship with him? When the time comes, talk to people and give more money. He's going to sell it anyway, so it's okay to think about it. ”

Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly when she heard this: "How can it be so easy!" ”

Eleven Niang was puzzled.

Xu Lingyi said: "That piece of land has as much as 6,000 acres, all of which are fertile land, and they are connected together. The second sister-in-law's family also spent a lot of effort to buy this property. At that time, no one in the Zhangqiu area could eat it in one go, and the fields were divided into dozens of pieces and sold one by one. When I sold it, I said it, but now I want to buy it back......" he sighed, "After so many years, the people who bought land back then had their own opportunities, some days became more and more prosperous, and some were down." Those who are downcast are good to say, but they just give more money, but how can those who have a good life sell so well. There is something that money can't do. ”

Eleven Niang's mind only echoed the sentence "6,000 acres, all of which are fertile land".

"How can there be so many?" She stammered a little as she listened to her voice.

Xu Lingyi said euphemistically: "This is the second sister-in-law's family matter, and we don't want to ask too much!" ”

Eleven Niang thought of the tense relationship between the second lady and Mrs. Xiang...... I think there are probably some stories in this, so I don't want to ask too much. "Then have you recovered some land now?" ”

"More than 800 acres have been recovered." Xu Lingyi said, "The second sister-in-law refuses to ask for it." said that when the old lady of the Xiang family gave her the land, she also hoped that the land could solve the danger of the second sister-in-law in case of emergency. Now that she has taken it out to solve the urgent needs of the Xu family, it can be regarded as a good use. What's more, I gave her the money from the sale of land that year. I won't ask for it anyway. The title deed has always been placed with my mother," and said, "There are more than 400 acres of land to be sold this time." Most of the people in the Zhangqiu area knew that I was going to buy back the land, and there were some idle gangs who used fraudulent means to coax those landlords to sell the land. So I rushed to Zhangqiu early tomorrow morning, lest the land not be bought, but the reputation of forced buying and selling fell. ”

Isn't this considered knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains!

"In that case, Hou Ye should think about it carefully." Eleven Niang persuaded him, "Lest he be impeached by the imperial history, it has become another matter." It is rumored that the Xu family sold their daughter-in-law's industry, which is even more unpleasant! ”

"I don't know!" Xu Lingyi said helplessly, "So over the years, I have only bought back more than 800 acres intermittently." This time I went to see the situation, and if I could, I bought it, and if it didn't work, I had to look at the opportunity again. He added, "It's just that the more years go by, the greater the changes in this property, and I'm afraid it will be more difficult to buy." "It's a pity.

Eleven Niang can understand Xu Lingyi's mood, but she is more concerned about the relationship between the 36 dowries and the 6,000 acres of high-quality fertile land.

The next day, when she sent Xu Lingyi away, she immediately recruited Song's mother to ask.

"I heard from Tao's mother that when the second lady got married, Mrs. Tai helped add the dowry. Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes!" Mother Song smiled, and then leaned into Eleven Niang's ear and whispered, "Master Xiang, it's the heir." Then he straightened up and said with a smile, "When the second lady got married, she moved several cartloads of books. The old lady of the Xiang family said that if there would be disputes in the future, these things would not be on the gift list. Mrs. Tai couldn't help it, so she gave the second lady the mutton fat jade Ruyi that she married back then, as well as some valuable jewelry. The old lady of the Xiang family liked it very much, saying that our wife was cheerful and upright. So when the second lady got married, she used the pair of jade ruyi given by Mrs. Tai to make the first one. When the third lady first got married, she was still angry with the third master about this matter! ”

There is no gift list, that is to say, these books are all given to the Xu family!

"Does my sister know?" Eleven Niang groaned.

"You should know!" Mother Song was a little unsure, "The books that the second lady moved over were placed in Shaohua Courtyard, and when the fourth lady first got married, she also borrowed books from the second lady!" ”
