On the second day, Yan Longcheng, who had been blowing all night, seemed to have changed something.

It seems that the wine flags on the street have been blown off, and the flags have not been cleaned up, and they have fallen into the mud and are dirty.

It seems that the hundred-year-old trees in the city have lost their leaves in a day and night, the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the lush green trees in the summer show their old state.

The streets were crowded with people, and it was not at all the lively and noisy scene on the day Gan Tang first entered Yanlong City.

She realized that Yan Longcheng was in winter.

Today, she wore strict clothes when she went out, and then after breakfast, she was pressed by Mama Li and poured two bowls of ginger soup.

It is still very beneficial to drink four bowls of ginger soup in a row, in short, Gantang has not been infected with wind and cold.

She was going to Wenrufang to find the third uncle yesterday, but she didn't go yesterday, so everything had to be done today.

"Coachman, go around from Broad Water Street." When he sat in the carriage, Gan Tang spoke softly.

The coachman respectfully should be.

Kuoshui Street, the only way for Lu Xun to return to the Yanguo Mansion, is one of the most prosperous streets in Yanlong City.

Suddenly winter, even the busiest streets are lifeless.

Gradually, the carriage walked across Kuoshui Street to Wenrufang.

Gan Tang got out of the car, and the third room of the Gan family had already received Gan Tang's greetings, knowing that she would come to the house at this moment, and sent someone to pick her up.

There is a relationship with the maid who came to pick up people in Weiyangfang, and Gan Tang has already written her down, "Mama Wang, lead me directly to the third uncle." ”

Mama Wang was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Didn't the eldest girl come to find our wife?" ”

"It's not." Gan Tang replied neatly.

Mama Wang's face sank, and it took a long time to return to normal, "The big girl is coming with the slave." ”

Gan Tang nodded, and was led by Mama Wang to the place where the third uncle was.

At that time, the third uncle was training in the concubine room, and the concubine room of the housewife.

The concubine's scolded dog's blood sprinkler, and the arrogance of the backmouth at that time.

When the third uncle heard Gan Tang's request to see him, he was stunned, and hurriedly punished the concubine for kneeling outside the master's room for an hour before going to see Gan Tang.

After the third uncle left, the concubine dared to throw herself on the ground and cry.

Gan Tang didn't ask the reason for the third uncle's late arrival, and only waited in the living room of the third uncle's room in this three-entry mansion.

After a while, there was a sound of laughter outside the house.

Gan Tang got up and blessed his body, "Eighth Uncle and Mother are fine." ”

"I suddenly heard the porter say, Tang'er, you're here. Tsk, your third uncle and third aunt are just unreliable, and they let you be here alone, that is, they don't welcome you, why don't you go to the eighth uncle and aunt with the eighth uncle and aunt to sit down? On this day, the eighth uncle and mother changed their domineering face on the day of the banquet, leaned on their inconspicuous abdomen, and said with a smile.

Gan Tang bowed slightly, "Thank you for the invitation of the eighth uncle, I have something to discuss with the third uncle, and I won't go to you today." Oh, by the way, I have brought gifts to several uncles and aunts, and the cousins and cousins in the house also have them, and I hope that the eighth uncle and aunt will not dislike it. ”

Gan Tang is a little rich woman, although she is not qualified to inherit the family wealth of the Gan family, and the dowry prepared for her by her parents was still greedy by the second uncle's family, but the private property of her parents and brother and the new dowry that her grandmother tried her best to earn back when the family was later separated, were all rich and not showy.

So her dress, the gifts she gave were much better than those of her second grandfather's family or even her fourth uncle's family.

The eighth uncle's eyes lit up and shone for a moment, like a tung oil lamp, and she spoke incoherently, "What, how come?" Tang'er respects her elders and loves her brothers and sisters, which is good no matter what. ”

"Eighth uncle, I see that the weather is gloomy, but I'm afraid that it will rain again, but the porter is still unloading the carriage and horses, and I don't know what is going on?"

"That son, Su Ri is very lazy, you wait here for your third uncle, and the eighth uncle will take a look for you."

The eighth uncle and aunt finally left, and Gan Tang let out a sigh, it was really noisy.

As soon as the eighth uncle stepped out of the courtyard with his front feet, the third uncle turned his head and came from the corridor, and saw the happy figure of the eighth uncle and aunt.

"The eighth lady is pregnant, and she is not afraid to flash her waist when she walks so quickly." The little guy next to him said unhappily.

The third uncle frowned and snorted, "What nonsense...... after taking two steps, he said again, "From now on, watch the yard, if the eighth brother and sister come over, no matter how they go up and down, they will help her steadily, don't let her have an accident in our yard." ”

"You can't ......" the little girl thought to say, can't you let the eighth lady not come? But thinking of the eighth lady's arrogance and domineering, he was silent again, now the old lady in the family prefers a few sons of the eighth master's family, and the eighth lady naturally has the confidence to mess around, and they can stop her actions before they have ghosts.

After the little servant was silent, the master and servant walked a few more steps and entered the house where Gan Tang was.

The Gan family has been heirlooming poetry and books for many generations, so most of the descendants are born in general, and they also have their own elegant bearing and elegant temperament that other families do not have.

The third uncle is tall and average, but his clothes are not bad, and his temperament is elegant, but he has the demeanor of a hermit.

"The third uncle is fine." Gantang saluted.

The third uncle called for a seat, and then asked, "Tang'er is in a hurry to find the third uncle, if you are not in a hurry, it is better for your third uncle and aunt to come forward, after you two talk, come to me." ”

Nowadays, children avoid their mothers, daughters avoid their fathers, not to mention uncles and nephews, all older men and women have to abide by a bunch of etiquette before they can meet.

The third uncle saw that he was the only one here, his little servant Gan Tang and a maid, and he felt that something was wrong, so he spoke bluntly.

Gan Tang smiled lightly, "If Tang'er and the third uncle have a good conversation, the third uncle and aunt will be busy." ”

The third uncle frowned, his face puzzled, as if puzzled.

Gan Tang immediately explained, and took a letter from Mu Xiang's hand and put it in front of the third uncle's case, "Third uncle, there is a piece of fertile land in the Huaping Nunnery in Linxian County, which was calculated four years ago and totaled twelve hectares and seventy-one acres, which is the property of the niece, what is the main plant, how much is the tax, and how many people are Tianding, because I was in my grandfather's house a few years ago, I knew very little, and after returning to Yanlong, I heard that now the third uncle and the eighth uncle are taking care of it together, so I came here to inquire." ”

The third uncle wanted to open the letter, but Gan Tang stopped him.

The third uncle no longer touched the letter, but said with a shy face, "When Uncle Cousin handed over that field to me, he planted rice, produced a thousand stone of grain a year, and made a profit of more than 800 taels of silver in silver, and now he ...... Now...... There are still people who plant rice, but more of them are planting fruit trees such as tobacco and apricot pears, and I don't know how much they produce each year, and I don't know how much money they make......

"That's why Uncle Eighth knows?"

The third uncle didn't look at Gan Tang, and said in a withered voice, "I, I don't know." ”

"Uncle, read the letter first." Gan Tang is still not in a hurry.

The third uncle trembled slightly and opened the letter, it is not difficult for a reader to read ten lines at a glance, and the number of words in this letter is only about a hundred or ten words.

Seeing the last word, the third uncle slapped the paper on the shore, his breath suddenly increased, and his eyes were like fireworks exploding, bright and piercing, "You, you, this deed?" Tang'er, are you willing to let the third uncle take care of that piece of land and give him a 10% income? ”

"Third uncle, when Tang'er's grandmother and second uncle divided the family property in the past, Tang'er still remembered what you said for Tang'er's dowry."

The implication is that she Gan Tang is now here to repay her kindness.

"If you have the courage to restore the income of the year to Tang'er's fertile land, the contents of the deed will take effect immediately."

"I'm going to do my best!" The third uncle swore an oath.

Gan Tang smiled lightly, "Tang'er thanks the third uncle, then Tang'er will ask the third uncle a few more things." ”

When the third uncle first saw Gan Tang, there was still a depression in his eyebrows, but now his eyes are full of brightness, not to mention how many things Gan Tang asked, even dozens of things can be done," Tang'er just said. ”

"The first thing is the third uncle's family affairs, the second grandfather and the second grandmother prefer the youngest child, if the third uncle gets this income in the future, how should you calculate it? If the second grandfather and the second grandmother both begged you to bring the rest of your uncles with you, how would you stay? ”

"The second thing, I'm a niece, if the uncles fancy something Tang'er, Tang'er is not inseparable, but the good land is not enough to pay taxes, and the other is not enough to operate, and the taxes are not counted, so the part of Tang'er that disappears can be regarded as stealing...... Third uncle, don't worry, Tang'er will find you, and he believes in you as a person, so when the second grandfather and the second grandmother make trouble for their son, how will you stay? ”

The smile on the third uncle's face gradually disappeared, yes, he was dazzled by the fairly rich wealth in front of him for a while, his fourth brother-in-law's family was so easy to provoke?

I'm afraid that most of this return will go into his pocket.

"Third uncle, you are the eldest son of the second grandfather, and in the future, it will be you who will break the tile in front of the spirit and carry the coffin up the mountain, not the eighth uncle.

Moreover, the concubine is also a son, and he is the person who will support the door in the future of your house. I heard my fourth uncle and aunt say that you and my third uncle and aunt have educated my cousins and cousins very well, they are not divided into grandchildren, and the brothers and sisters are very harmonious, and they will help each other no matter how they live in the future.

But the cousins and cousins of the eighth uncle's family are afraid that it will not be like this, if you don't ruthlessly divide it with the eighth uncle, and willingly raise all the wealth you earn to the cousins of the eighth uncle's family, how much will they do to help their cousins in the future? ”

Gan Tang asked, not intentionally frustrating the third uncle's spirit, she just wanted to repay it, and she didn't want the people in the Gan family who had fallen into the well to get a little benefit to herself.

Moreover, if she wants to cooperate with the third uncle, these issues must also be explained clearly, otherwise there will be something in the future.

When she planned to stay in Yan Long to check the Grange shop, the fourth uncle and they quietly sent someone to do a rough investigation, and there were problems with the property in all parts of the neighborhood near Yan Long, either because of insufficient taxes, or cronyism, or by concealing the truth and secretly ignorant of selfishness, and there were also those who made claims and changed their good restaurants and shops into secret prostitution houses.

That is, there is no major incident, otherwise once something happens, it will be all over.

After careful calculation, in fact, the problem of the fertile land in Linxian County is still light.
