Chapter 713: It's hard to protect yourself
Lei Jin smiled, and Zhao Lizheng also frowned, "At this time?" That must not be sold to them, after all, there is no evidence, let's go, let's go and see, after you measure, you will circle it, and leave the rest to me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Lan Yi nodded and smiled arbitrarily, "Thank you Uncle Yang." If the Cheng family comes, you don't have to interfere, just push it directly on me. Not only that, but they looked at any place in our village and said that I had already made a fixed price to buy it. ”
Zhao Li was happy, knowing that Lan Yi was not what he used to be, and there was no need to be afraid of the Cheng family at all, so he nodded, took Lan Yi and Lei Jin, and sent someone to invite Mr. Unknown to the east of the village to measure the land.
After Mr. Nameless and Mr. Jingxiao came, Zhao Lizheng pointed to this large piece of wasteland and explained, "To the east of Su Fuzi's house, to the north of Su Fang's house, until the foot of the hillside where peonies are planted, this piece of about ten acres of land is ownerless. This place is not in the spot, one is to the side, the other is because there are too many miscellaneous stones, it is laborious to tidy up and build a house, if it is leveled, it is inconvenient to cultivate the field and divert water, so it has been empty. ”
"It is precisely because of these, and because it is too close to the village, that when I bought peonies on the hillside, I didn't have this place. Two gentlemen, third brother, take a look, do you still like it? Lan Yi looked around, although it would take some effort, but it should be a good place to level it out.
Mr. Nameless stroked his beard and checked the surrounding terrain, nodded and said, "If you live by the mountains, it is best to have mountains in the northwest." Here is backed by green mountains, the east slope is gentle, and it does not block the sun, but it is also counted. ”
Mr. Jingxiao also nodded, and said seriously, "Yes, as the old saying goes, 'poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people', if the surrounding mountains are rugged, the mountains and rocks are rugged, the fur is not long, and the shape is like a murderous beast, it is a sign of exhaustion and decay, and if people live in it, they will feel terrible and desolate, and they will not be able to rest in peace; The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, full of vitality, and it is in response to the saying of "the mountains are high and the people are strong, the mountains are beautiful and the people are smart, the water gathers the people, and the people are rich in the water", and Beigou Village is a livable place. ”
Zhao Lizheng was very happy to hear it, "When the ancestors built a village here, they also spent a lot of money to invite Mr. Kanyu, so for so many years, our village has been able to live smoothly, and there have been no major or evil things, that is, this year's drought, 35 villages in the county, our village is also the first to have water." If you can match this place, I will order someone to measure it and get the title deed? ”
Lei Jin saw that the north side of this place was more spacious, and it was also connected to Su Yongshen's yard, and the location was slightly better, so he said, "This place is long from north to south, if it is arranged according to the houses in the village, it is also cut into two sets of yards before and after, sir, you live in the back, Tianze is in the front, okay?" ”
Mr. Nameless nodded, and the matter was settled. Mr. Jingxiao is proficient in the art of Kanyu, he began to measure to the east with steps from the side of Su Yongshen's courtyard wall, selected a corner, and ordered Yu Bo to erect a small stone, "The courtyard is circled here." ”
After speaking, he went to measure the front yard selected by Lei Jin, and also selected a corner and erected a stone. Zhao Lizheng carefully wrote down that starting a house is a big deal, if you choose it well, gather gas and hide the wind; If you don't choose well, you will lose your fortune and your life. Since Mr. Jingxiao went into the mountain to guide them to follow the mountain, find the crypt and bury piles to build a waterway, he saw that this old gentleman who came to visit Meng Fuzi with four beautiful maids was not an ordinary person.
What the people in the village talk about Mr. Jingxiao is the four beautiful maids beside him, and because of Mr. Jingxiao's good food and wine, in the eyes of the villagers, this old man is quite old.
Lan Yi suggested, "You might as well circle this large piece, sort it out outside the courtyard wall, and plant something, Yu Bo, don't you say?" ”
Yu Bo nodded, and said solemnly, "It's okay, so that the old slave always goes to the girl's garden to pick vegetables, which is annoying." ”
Lan Yi suddenly felt helpless, Yu Bo seemed to really have fun making her angry.
The two gentlemen laughed, and Mr. Jingxiao said, "Yes, buy it, let's open up the wasteland in person, and experience the fun of 'planting beans in the south of the mountain, and the evening dew stains my clothes'." ”
The two gentlemen went to see the melon together, and Lei Jin sent Lan Yi home and asked, "What's going on with the Cheng family?" ”
Lan Yi sighed, "This matter is a long story. He briefly talked about Xiao Qi and Yu'er. After hearing this, Lei Jin swept away the gentleness and elegance, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of anger, and the murderous aura in his eyes was also revealed, "This son is really a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!" Fourth sister, you can raise the baby at home with peace of mind, and you will be a brother. ”
"Kill chickens with a knife, the third brother is at ease to teach in Yixue, I can handle it enough." Lan Yi said confidently, and there was also a coldness in her eyes. Lei Jin looked at her, shook his head and smiled, "Fourth sister, you always want to take care of it when you encounter something, but have you ever thought about the people next to you looking at it, do you feel uneasy and powerless?" Sometimes, it's okay to ask me to help you. ”
This kind of temperament is admirable, but it also makes the people she puts in her heart helpless, especially Zhou Weiji's temperament, I hope Lan Yi can rely on him a little.
Lan Yi touched her nose, "I'm used to it, third brother, don't worry, if I get to a difficult place, I will definitely speak." Cheng Zimu is now unable to protect himself, and he has no time to find trouble with Yu'er. ”
Cheng Zimu, who is in Dengzhou, is indeed unable to protect himself now. After the Dragon Boat Festival, when several sea merchants gathered in the largest port in Dengzhou to worship the sea god Tianfei, there was an accident, and the masts of the three sea ships of the Cheng family were broken at the same time, and they all fell into the sea, which shocked the people who watched the excitement at the dock.
Before going to sea, the concubine broke the mast of the sail, which was very unlucky. Everyone said that the Cheng family had done evil things at regular times, which angered the concubine, so the mast was broken by the concubine. The concubine is the most important god of the sea sacrificed by the Zhou people, and the main god who protects the safety of the ship.
Although Cheng Zimu knew that the Wang family and the Li family joined forces to do it, and he was angry, he had to leave three large sea ships in the port and only sent two wind drilling ships to sea. Compared with a large sea ship with 2,000 people and 300 people, only a wind drill ship with more than 100 people can carry how much cargo can be loaded!
Therefore, a large number of silk, porcelain and other items bought by the Cheng family at a high price were forced to be hoarded in the warehouse of the port and could not be shipped out. Cheng Zimu wanted to sell to other maritime merchants, but he contacted a few, but none of them had the intention of buying, and they all said that the Cheng family's goods were unlucky, and they were afraid that if they were shipped out, the sea breeze would be bad!
Cheng Zimu was furious, he could press a large number of porcelain in the warehouse for some time, but silk could not be done. Silk is more precious and more expensive, if it is not stored properly, it will cause discoloration, fading, yellowing, it will not be sold at a high price, if in previous years, Cheng Zimu will not worry. But this year, Dengzhou and other Chengjia silk and satin stores have been in a bad situation, and several branches can't eat this large number of goods at all.
For now, the only way to do this is to ship it to other places and find a suitable buyer to sell, and many silver taels will be found here. In addition, it is necessary to compensate overseas merchants who have already made a fixed amount of money to buy tea and silk for the Cheng family, and the Cheng family can be said to be hurting this time.
Uncle Cheng hid it from the old man and hurried to Dengzhou, not waiting to scold Cheng Zimu, but there was even greater bad news, the two wind drilling boats that the Cheng family went to sea had an accident!
