Chapter 132: Purchase of a Manor
"That's right! In the past, Master Zuo was a martial artist of fortune, and his disciples had no one to take charge of, they wanted to bully us, and we could only endure this tone. Now the left division is a chemical strength martial artist, and I am already a condensing strength martial artist, so I can't help them bully me anymore. We can go, but we can't miss any of the copper plates that should be given to us. Zheng Xinghan said, his waist was straight, and his body exuded a sharp and domineering spirit that he had never seen before.
"This is natural, but it will take some time to find a suitable Zhuangzi." Zuo Le said.
Seeing Zuo Le mention the matter of finding Zhuangzi again, Qin Ziling's heart couldn't help but move slightly, remembering that he heard his mother mention it during dinner yesterday that the Cao family, the rich man in the east of the village, once relied on his daughter to marry Xu Yuanwu as a concubine, and gave birth to a big fat son, who acted very arrogantly and domineering in the village, and also occupied some villagers' fields, but Xujiabao was suddenly destroyed last month, and the Cao family was greatly implicated.
Not only did the people of the Xiao family find excuses to beat the Cao family from time to time, but the villagers also took the opportunity to unite to sue him, the people of the Cao family are now living in the village more poorly, plus without the cover of Xujiabao, there is not much security in this world living outside the city, so they want to sell the family business and move to the city to settle down.
"Speaking of Zhuangzi, there is a rich man in Anhe Village, where my family lives, who is selling his manor. The scale is okay, there are two or three hundred acres of fertile land, the front is facing the river, the back is against a hill, only the fence is relatively higher than the ordinary people's house for defense, there is no sentry tower. If you buy it, you will definitely have to spend money on some fortifications. Qin Ziling said.
"Anhe Village is more than ten miles away from the county seat, this distance is just right, and Anhe Village is located in the west of the city, now the Xiao family occupies Xujiabao, the Xiao family represents the official power, and our martial arts hall is also located in Xicheng, and the relationship with them has always been good, and the security should be more secure.
Also, your family lives in Anhe Village, if we buy this manor, your family can move into the village nearby, without leaving the environment where you have lived for many years. I think that's all there is to it! After Zuo Le's analysis, he made a decision on the spot.
"Since the left division has decided, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go and see it today." Qin Ziling saw that Zuo Le agreed, and said with a hint of joy on his face.
He suddenly found that after he took out the Nine Turns Blood Yuan Bone Strengthening Secret Pill, he had a feeling that the whole game of chess had been revitalized.
There are manpower, there are manors to raise exotic beasts, the safety of the family is more secure without moving into the city, and there are many other benefits...... The most important thing is that he can still hide in the shadows, and he can still be his martial artist of the Cold Iron Palm Academy, no one will know that he is the real big boss in this area outside Xicheng.
"That's what I mean, so I don't have to worry about those people anymore." Zuo Le also said with joy on his face.
……
Caojiazhuang is located at the east end of Anhe Village, with the Anhe River flowing in front and a hill in the back.
Where the An River flows, there are fertile fields, and now it is April, and the crops have grown, and the green fields are ready for a bumper harvest.
There are more than 20 houses in the village, most of which are built of thick blue bricks, as well as garden ponds and water corridors. At this time, it is the season of spring flowers, and the flowers in the courtyard garden decorate the whole Zhuangzi with flowers and vitality.
Zhuangzi is surrounded by a thick brick wall, and some iron thistles are arranged on the wall to prevent people from climbing.
The vermilion Zhuangzi gate is inlaid with shining copper nails and copper rings, and a tall stone unicorn is placed on the left and right.
"Ziling, this manor is close to the river and close to the official road, the transportation is convenient, the land is 400 acres, the fertile land is 230 acres, and there is a hill behind the manor, when the silver money is worth in previous years, seven or eight thousand taels can not be taken down.
Now that prices are skyrocketing, we took it for 4,000 taels, which is really cheap! Zuo Le walked on the bluestone paved road of the manor, pointing with a satisfied and happy face.
"Now the security outside the city is not good, many squires and rich owners are selling manors, there are many sellers, few buyers, and the Cao family and the Xu family are in-laws, many people are afraid of getting involved, no one cares about it, and we should be cheap." Qin Ziling smiled, his gaze swept around, and he was very satisfied.
The Cao family was in a hurry to get rid of it, yesterday Qin Ziling accompanied Zuo Le to negotiate with the Cao family, and the price was negotiated in a few clicks, and then the formalities were completed on the same day, and the Cao family moved to Fangqi City in a hurry overnight.
"The courtyard layout of this house is very exquisite and ingenious, and the environment is also quiet, far away from the noisy and chaotic places such as martial arts training grounds, mills, oil pressing rooms, and poultry raising, I think it will be left to your family to live in." Zuo Le pointed to the left-hand side, a courtyard house and said.
This courtyard house sits in the south and faces north, the scenery of the main courtyard is dominated by the mountain, the pond water is supplemented, the main peak of seven meters high rises abruptly, the pond water is swirling, the green trees are shaded, exquisite and secluded, the backyard is a flat land, occupies a large area, some trees and flowers are planted around, it is suitable for practicing martial arts.
"My mother is still reluctant to leave the old house in recent years, and such a good house courtyard for my family to live in, with my identity, it is difficult not to attract people to think too much.
Anyway, the Qin family is in Anhe Village, and if there is really anything, Shuiyue Villa can also take care of it. And if there is really any accident in Shuiyue Villa, the Qin family can also play a strange role outside. Qin Ziling said.
Shuiyue Villa is the name given by Qin Ziling and Zuo Le to the newly purchased villa.
"What you said is indeed an old opinion, but you will go out from time to time, there is no strong person in the family, in case of some accidents, I may not have time to rush to help, I still think that your mother can move to the Water Moon Villa is the safest.
If you are really worried about arousing suspicion from those who are interested, we can choose another courtyard house, but then you will inevitably be wronged by your mother. Zuo Le said.
"Master Zuo, don't worry, in addition to Liu Xiaoqiang, there is also a martial artist in my family!" Qin Ziling said lightly.
Rao is Zuo Le is now already a martial artist, and when he heard this, his body couldn't help but shake slightly, his eyes showed a look of shock, and he felt more and more that his disciple was unfathomable and incomprehensible.
The First Clan
After a while, Zuo Le suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded and said, "Then it's no problem." ”
After that, Zuo Le pointed to the hill behind the manor, and said: "This back mountain can just be used to raise strange beasts, and I asked people to set aside a piece of land in the mountain forest to fence it off, and then build some houses and arrow towers, so condescending, what is really the enemy can not only see clearly, but also shoot and kill with double power." ”
"It's better for Zuo Shi to draw a few more mountains, and I still have some strange beasts to hand over to you to fence and raise." Qin Ziling said.
"Do you still have a beast to raise?" Zuo Le was shocked again.
"Hehe, there are four phantom dragons, one of which is a female breeder. There are also eight black-winged storks, one of which is a male and female black-winged stork used as breeding birds. Qin Ziling replied.
After Zuo Le listened, the whole person was stunned.
The Nine Turns Blood Yuan Bone Strengthening Secret Pill can also be said to be Qin Ziling's fortune from the dead, and he got it unexpectedly.
There are so many strange beasts, it can't be accidental, right? In particular, breeding beasts need to be carefully selected and domesticated, and one head is worth thousands or even tens of thousands of taels.
This also means that I don't know when this disciple of his has already accumulated more capital than him, and he was afraid of treating this genius disciple badly, so he endured his distress from time to time to stuff him with a few Xuanhan iron eggs.
"The Phantom Lizard Dragon got it from Jiang Yue." Qin Ziling explained casually.
When Zuo Le heard this, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Yue died in Qin Ziling's hands, and nodded to show that he understood, as for how the eight black-winged Xuanshui storks came about, Qin Ziling didn't say anything, and he, an old Jianghu, naturally wouldn't ask.
Of course, Qin Ziling didn't mention the Black-Winged Xuanshui Stork, not because he didn't believe Zuo Le, but it was just that Xiao Jing's cultivation was a breakthrough, and the less people knew about it, the better.
"Now that the manor has been purchased, I plan to go to Sixian Village tomorrow to negotiate with them, and then take people to relocate to Shuiyue Villa." Zuo Le said.
"I'll go with you tomorrow." Qin Ziling said.
"What? Don't worry about me? Zuo Le asked with a smile.
"Hehe, one more person always has one more care." Qin Ziling smiled.
Hearing this, a touch of emotion flashed in the depths of Zuo Le's eyes, and he reached out and patted Qin Ziling's shoulder and said, "Let's go, go to your house." Speaking of which, I should visit your mother too. ”
So the two left Shuiyue Villa and went all the way to Qin's house.
In the inner courtyard, Liu Xiaoqiang was shirtless, revealing his steely chest, and the muscles of his arms were twisted together like steel bars, and he was being hammered by Shao E one after another, like waves crashing on the shore.
In the west corner of the courtyard, Dou Lingwei was practicing strength.
Du Hongmei was busy doing housework on the side, and from time to time she glanced up at her daughter, her eyes full of joy and expectation.
"This is ......" Zuo Le, accompanied by Qin Ziling, as soon as he stepped into the Hanging Flower Gate, he saw Shao E in the courtyard hammering Liu Xiaoqiang's arms, and his steps couldn't help but slammed, showing a hint of shock on his face.
"Childe!"
"Young Master!"
When everyone saw Qin Ziling and Zuo Le coming in, they hurriedly stopped their hands and bowed slightly to say hello.
After Liu Xiaoqiang greeted Qin Ziling, he bowed to Zuo Le with an unexpected look and hugged his fists and said, "Xiaoqiang has seen the hall master. ”
"I really didn't expect Liu Xiaoqiang, you have not only recovered, but also become a cowhide martial artist." Zuo Le said with emotion.
"This is all a great favor from Childe." Liu Xiaoqiang said.
"It's all my own family, don't say these words." Qin Ziling smiled and waved his hand, and then introduced: "Shao E, this is my master, Zuo Le. Zuo Shi, this is the lucky martial artist Shao E who sat in my house I mentioned. ”
Zuo Le and Shao E are both martial artists, they only had one or two sides of the relationship before, and they are not familiar, but now Shao E is easy to look like, and it is rumored that Yan'e in Xujiabao is dead, so Zuo Le didn't recognize Shao E, but Shao E recognized Zuo Le.
