When Wen Yi heard that there was indeed something wrong with the land, she couldn't help but stand up: "But...... Can't buy it? Is there a Lord?! ”

Qin's face flushed, and he said stubbornly: "There is no owner on the hillside, and there is the original owner under the mountain, but because the original owner has committed an accident, the family property has entered the official, so it is good to talk directly to the official about the transaction...... Just ......"

Wen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she could buy it, thought about it, and said with a smile: "If the price is not cheap, my aunt can tell me frankly, and it's a big deal to buy less." ”

Qin shook his head, hesitated again and again, but still told the truth: "It's all my aunt's fault, don't be surprised by my nephew's daughter." Originally, there were two hot springs on the mountain, only twenty or thirty feet apart, and they were always hot all year round. The villagers at the foot of the mountain know about it, and occasionally they will go over to wash and wash it. Listen to the old people in the village, this hot spring is the most nourishing people, the village children who are not in good health, in the winter will be sent to the hot spring next to the grass house to live for two or three months, the spring will be as strong as a calf. When your uncle found out about this, he came back and talked about it, and praised his niece and daughter for seeing a blessed land at a glance. It's just that...... My aunt is a little selfish, thinking that your eldest cousin is born weak, and every autumn and winter, he will have a serious illness, if he can get such a good place to recuperate for a few months and raise his body, it will be the creation of our family. But your uncle felt that this was unkind, and refused to mention it to his niece and daughter, and your aunt was anxious for a while, and heard that because she inquired about this land in the yamen, it attracted some people to discuss, and someone had already gone to see the land, and your aunt was afraid that someone would take the lead, so she ...... embarrassed and smiled.

Wen Yi had already understood, because there was such a hot spring on the mountain, which was good for her eldest cousin to recuperate, so her aunt bought it first, which was tantamount to taking away the land she fancied, so her aunt felt embarrassed.

She felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't think it was a surprise. She has experienced in her previous life, she has long been conscious, and no matter how much her uncle and aunt love her, she is not as good as her eldest cousin and eldest cousin, as long as it is for the eldest cousin, they can even go back to her mother's Xitian.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face turned dark, and she only felt that she had not seen the wrong person, this Nie family was really unreliable! The granddaughter took a fancy to the land, and asked her uncle's family to inquire, but she knew that it was a good land, and her uncle's family made the land by herself. Neither faithful, nor unkind, but decent!

The room was silent, Qin only felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, biting her lip, thinking of her son, she still hardened her heart and persevered. This time she is selfish, I'm sorry for my nephew's daughter, as long as she can get her nephew's daughter's understanding, she can do anything!

Wen Yi thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Since my uncle and aunt bought the spring, they also bought the surrounding land?" ”

Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy: "No, no!" I only bought a piece of mountain forest land around the hot springs, about two or three hundred acres in size, thinking of building some houses and planting dozens of acres of fruit forests. ”

Wen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Can the surrounding land be cultivated?" ”

"Yes! How can't you?! The Qin family heard the meaning of Wen Yi's words, and was immediately overjoyed, "Your uncle invited three or four old farmers who have accumulated years to come and see, and they all said that the land under the mountain is good, but it is just abandoned, so that it is good to live and pick up, and raise it for four or five years, and not lose to the land in the village." The part on the hillside, which used to be a forest in the early years, has been cut down now, and some fruit trees are planted on it, but in five or six years, it will be able to produce fruit. There is also a gentle slope on the side, and although there are many weeds and the land is thin, the place is very large, and it is still possible to plant some drought-tolerant crops after reclamation. ”

Wen Yi calmed down a little when she heard this, and quietly glanced at her grandmother, and saw that her face was gloomy, so she said carefully: "Grandmother, why don't we just buy the land at the bottom of the mountain or on the hillside?" Although the hot springs are good, if our family has them, my grandmother also has a place to recuperate in the winter, but the land with the hot springs must be expensive, and our family is looking for fields that can be cultivated, and the hot springs are secondary. If it is convenient for my uncle and aunt to live at home in the future, we can borrow it for a few days. ”

Old Madam Lu frowned and glanced at her granddaughter deeply. Wen Yi's eyes showed pleading. In any case, it is better not to have a conflict between my grandmother and my uncle's family. It's a pity that the hot springs are a pity, but as long as you can buy good land, other things don't matter.

Old Madam Lu seemed to understand her granddaughter's eyes, and her face softened a little, but she still closed her mouth and didn't speak.

The Qin family saw a little clue, and secretly said in his heart that his nephew's daughter was well-behaved and kind, and he added a little shame to his face, but the heart of his son still prevailed after all, and seeing that Old Madam Lu had a tendency to loosen, he stepped up and said: "The land on the mountain and the mountain are bought together!" Originally, our family heard that it was abandoned land, but according to the law of the country, as long as the nephew's daughter's family sent someone to reclaim it, after three years, it would be possible to get it without spending a penny. It's just that there are many dreams at night, and if it is taken up in less than three years, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Besides, the national law stipulates that the reclaimed person gets the land, and the niece's daughter can't go to cultivate it herself, so the ownership of the land can't be explained, so our lord and the people of the yamen have been pulling the skin for a few days, and the price of the land has been pressed again and again. If the old lady and niece and daughter of my in-laws are interested in buying that piece of land, I will go back and tell the lord that the price of the land will be reduced to less than 800 taels. There are thousands of acres of land there! It's a good deal! If it weren't for the fact that the money at home didn't come together, our family would have ...... a long time ago" paused, immediately felt that it was inappropriate, and changed his words with a dry smile, "Our family is also a little excited." ”

Wen Yi was moved when she heard this: "Can you really keep the price so low?" Auntie, don't coax me, such a good thing, why has it been so long, and no one has bought it? "Calculate carefully, when the things in the warehouse are sold, at least five or six hundred taels should be credited to the account, plus the family's savings, it is not difficult to buy that piece of land.

Qin Shi smiled: "I really don't coax you." It wasn't that no one cared about that piece of land, but because there were mountain bandits nearby, no one dared to buy it. A few days ago, the officers and soldiers got the news and went into the mountains to exterminate the mountain bandits, and even burned down the stockade. That area has been peaceful ever since. The mountain pass there is originally a great road, and when there are many people coming and going, someone will ask about the land. Even now, a few people have gone to the official mansion to inquire. If the niece's daughter has a heart, she should make a decision as soon as possible. Your uncle will go and pay the money when he turns around, so that he can save someone from taking the lead. ”

Wen Yi immediately made a decision, walked to her grandmother's side and persuaded, "Grandmother, let's buy it, right?" Less than 800 taels, thousands of acres of land, where to find such a good thing? ”

Old Madam Lu was silent for a while before she said: "Since someone else has inquired about the official mansion, it is not good for us to buy them all, otherwise the Gu Nie family will take all the good things at that time, and the Gu family will have a big share, and they will be hated!" ”

That's the promise! Wen Yi was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Then only buy a part of it, and pick the good one!" ”

Qin Shi hurriedly said: "The land under the mountain is the best, and it is close to the village, so it is very convenient to rent out or hire helpers." There is also a good hillside land, which is also next to our family's land, so the two families can support each other, and your eldest cousin can help you take care of it when he lives there. Even if it is a gentle slope overgrown with weeds, the place is large, the soil is thin, and the yield is small. "Calculate carefully," then there are nearly three hundred acres of land missing, and there are six or seven hundred acres before and after, which is enough." I'll go back and ask your uncle to help me get more money!" ”

Old Madam Lu said lightly: "Having said that, in the end, I just heard that our ancestors and grandchildren have never seen what the land is like, and it costs a few hundred taels of silver like this, and I always feel uncertain in my heart." If it is convenient for the in-laws, please send someone to send a fish scale atlas over, we will take a closer look and talk about other things. ”

Qin's face flushed, he moved his body unnaturally, put away the excitement of Fang Cai, and said solemnly: "The old lady of the in-laws is right, I will go back and ask for the fish scale map." Since the land under the mountain is an official, there must be a detailed atlas in the yamen. ”

Wen Yi glanced at her grandmother uneasily, but Mrs. Lu remained silent, still nodding lightly: "It's troublesome to my in-laws' wife, after all, it's far away, my wife is not easy to go out, and Wen Yi is still young, even if she buys the land, how to clean it up in the future, you have to ask the in-laws to help me more." Especially the area on the hillside is all woodland, and if we want to turn it into arable land or replant fruit trees, it is not something that our grandparents and grandchildren can take care of. ”

The Qin family immediately hit the package ticket: "The old lady of the in-laws can rest assured!" Our family's land also needs to be taken care of, so let them clean it up when the time comes! In the future, when we plant fruit trees, the seedlings and fertilizer will also be purchased together, and the old lady of the in-laws will send a few reliable people to supervise it, so we don't have to bother a little more! ”

Wen Yi was pleasantly surprised: "Really?!" Wouldn't this be too much trouble for my aunt and uncle? ”

"No, no, how can it be troublesome? It's just by the way. Qin smiled and took Wen Yi's hand, carefully looking at Old Madam Lu's expression, "It turns out that our family owes our in-laws, and it is also appropriate to do more." ”

Old Madam Lu smiled slightly: "Then the old body is waiting for the good news of the in-laws' wife." ”

Qin left satisfied, and before leaving, he repeatedly promised that before the winter came, the hot spring Zhuangzi would be ready, and then he would invite Wen Yi's ancestors and grandchildren to stay for a few days, and in the future, they would leave a fixed courtyard for them in the Zhuangzi, and they would go whenever they wanted.

Wen Yi stood in front of her grandmother, carefully observing her expression, and slowly persuaded, "Actually, it's nothing...... When the granddaughter sent her aunt out, she found out that the land that their family had bought was less than 300 acres because of the hot springs, and it cost more than 700 taels of silver! It is all mountain and woodland, and it is impossible to grow food, and even if there is a fruit forest, it will take several years to produce it. The land we want to buy is more than 600 acres before and after, and I don't know if I want 700 taels, but it is mostly arable land, which is much more cost-effective than them! ”

Old Madam Lu glanced at her angrily, with a look of hatred on her face: "No matter how well-behaved you are, you shouldn't even have a little temperament!" This is because your uncle's family is not kind and has lost their integrity, not only do you not blame them, but you also say good things for them in front of me, you are really angry with me! ”

Wen Yi shrunk her neck, suddenly smiled and hugged her grandmother's arm, and said coquettishly: "Don't be angry, it's not that your granddaughter has no temperament, but I just think that this matter is more profitable for our family." My uncle and aunt felt guilty in their hearts, and they would be compensated in the future. After such a careful calculation, our family is cheap and well-behaved, right? What else is there to be angry about? The eldest cousin is a good person, he has taken care of his body, and he will take care of his granddaughter even more carefully in the future. My granddaughter is also looking forward to him! Didn't grandmother think so? She blinked.

Old Madam Lu pointed at her head, her lips moved, she couldn't speak for a long time, she couldn't help laughing, and glared at her again: "Hugh is going to talk nonsense outside!" Yan sighed, "I've lived for decades, and at the age when I was about to be buried in the ground, I actually played tricks with the juniors." You girl is a lot of harm! ”

Wen Yi sat on the pedal, her head resting on her grandmother's legs, and muttered: "The granddaughter knows that she is so tired that her grandmother can't enjoy leisure, and she only hopes that the family can gradually get better, so that her grandmother can enjoy a real leisurely life in the future." ”

Within two days, the Pingyin Nie family sent someone to send a fish scale atlas. Wen Yi accompanied her grandmother, looked carefully, and gave up a corner of the land on the hillside, and then picked out 200 acres near the ditch from the land under the mountain, and left the remaining 100 acres of good land to others, and then set aside another piece of land on the edge of the village under the mountain, ready to build a house. In this way, after calculating about 500 acres, I asked the person Nie Jiachang how the price was negotiated, and learned that it was floating up and down in one acre and two cents, and was moving towards the goal of one acre and one tael, Wen Yi said: "Please tell my uncle, the price of one acre and one tael is certainly affordable, if the government really refuses to let go, adding another one or two cents will also make it, it is best to sign the documents as soon as possible, save the file, and everyone can rest assured." Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, if you can buy the fields as soon as possible and clean them up, you may be able to replant a crop of autumn wheat in time. Otherwise, if you miss the planting season, you will have to wait until next spring to sow seeds. ”

Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at her grandmother, and only felt excited in her heart. Five hundred acres of land, even if only two hundred acres are cultivated, is enough for their family of six to live a prosperous life, without looking at the eyes of the long house.

Old Madam Lu patted Wen Yi's hand lightly and sighed, "I should have thought of this a long time ago." If it is purchased early, we dare not be too lazy in the long house. Suddenly remembered something, and his face was solemn, "In front of outsiders, you must remember that your uncle helped you buy it, in order to add makeup to you, you know?!" ”

Wen Yi smiled: "The granddaughter can save it, and the grandmother doesn't have to worry." This is our family's private property, and if others want to make up their minds, they can't get it. ”

Old Madam Lu shook her head and sighed: "You don't know, if our ancestors and grandchildren live a more difficult life, others will not beat us, but once we have a large amount of land under our name, others will be tempted." ”

Wen Yi was stunned and said with a smile: "No matter how tempting you are, you can't be satisfied, if they want to find themselves unhappy, just let them go." I only know that this is the land property that my uncle bought for me, and even if I die, it will not be the turn of the Gu clan! ”

Old Madam Lu frowned: "What nonsense!" Wen Yi lowered her head and chuckled.

Mama Zhao walked to the door and reported, "Old lady, miss, the fifteenth master is here." ”

Old Madam Lu and Wen Yi knew that this was most likely because Gu Yitong had news about the box of antiques that he had taken away the day before yesterday, and they were busy asking people to invite him in.

I saw Gu Yitong's face ashamed, sighing, and when he greeted Mrs. Lu, he was also full of shame.

Wen Yi passed through the Qin family, and she was already a little defensive in her heart, and quickly turned a few guesses in her mind, but the money from selling things was related to the upcoming land property, and the stakes were very high, so she didn't have the patience to talk to Gu Yi with her, so she asked directly: "Uncle Fifteen, is that box of things ...... What went wrong?! ”

(It's so cold...... My hands are stiff...... ）
