Chapter 153: Homecoming
On this night, the lights of the Lu ancestral hall were not extinguished.
The monks and Taoists who chanted the scriptures occupied one side, and the trouble did not stop until the middle of the night.
Lu Yangge was very careful, fell on the thick straw pile, wrapped in a quilt and slept sweetly.
Only Lu Quan, touching the tablet in his arms, sat in a corner with his knees crossed.
Lu Quan is very similar to smashing the tablet in his arms, Biao Ge is still alive, and this tablet cannot be placed in the ancestral hall to be worshipped.
But he also knows that here, it is somewhat inconvenient, and if he is seen, he may be tired of Xiao Si at that time.
It's better to bear with it and wait until you get back.
Although the quilt was wrapped in Xiao Si, Lu was wearing a new cotton coat made by Qiu's body, and he was so close to his Lu Yuanshan brothers, so he felt hot in his heart, and he didn't feel cold.
He just sat in the hut of the Lu family's ancestral hall, guarding Xiao Si, and chatted with his Lu Yuanshan brothers in his heart for a night.
Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Quan led Xiaosi and followed Lu Yuanping to Dongyang County.
After spending two taels of silver, he quickly changed to the title deed of Dayun Mountain, and despite Lu Yuanping's retention, the father and son hurried back.
I didn't return overnight, and I don't know what Qiu's hurry will be.
Fortunately, before their father and son left, they told the Qiu family that it was a long way to go back and forth to Dongyang County, and if they didn't come back at night, they would definitely rush back in the morning.
Because she had told her in advance, even if Qiu was anxious and wanted to rush back in the morning, she would not be too worried.
Father and son walked through a wilderness, and the Lu family's boat was tied to the river alone.
Lu Quan waited for Lu Yangge to jump on the boat, he untied the rope and got on the boat, and the bamboo pole left the shore at a moment.
"These are the two hundred and fifty taels of silver left."
Lu Quan handed the remaining two hundred and fifty taels in a money bag to Lu Yangge: "It cost two hundred taels to buy the mountain, and I gave you another fifty taels of Yuan Pingbo, so that he could enclose the piece of the mountain drinking horse pond and build a big courtyard." Anyway, there are a lot of stones on the mountain, so when the time comes, just use stones to build a yard. ”
Just build a yard, don't build a house, don't build a house, don't throw adobe, don't buy black bricks, only use large and small stones on the mountain, ten taels are enough.
Lu Quan didn't plan to take it back when he gave fifty taels, the patriarch found someone to do things for you, you can't let the family work in vain. There are still some clan elders, the patriarch pressed them to agree to sell Dayun Mountain to him for two hundred taels, and the patriarch has to buy some snacks and tobacco leaves for these clan elders, which also costs silver.
At that time, Lu Quan said that he wanted to buy a mountain, and an old man of the clan asked for five hundred taels when he opened his mouth, although it was a lion who opened his mouth, but the elders of the other clans looked at each other but no one said anything. When it is cheap, who can dislike less silver, of course, the more the merrier.
If there is no Lu Yuanping, this mountain, two hundred taels will definitely not be able to buy.
There are also two clan elders, seeing that Lu Quan only gave two hundred taels, they said that they would sell Xiaoyun Mountain to Lu Quan.
Compared with Xiaoyun Mountain and Dayun Mountain, it has to be more than half smaller.
The same cost of money, everyone knows to pick a big one. Even if it is a barren mountain and bald mountain, it is more cost-effective to buy a large one than a small one.
Lu Quan guessed the reason why Xiao Si didn't want to buy Xiao Yun Mountain, probably this kid disliked Xiao Yun Mountain being too close to the Lu family's ancestral hall.
The location of the ancestral hall is the manor of the Lu family back then.
In the future, I really want to build a house on this mountain, so that the children can see their family's original manor become an ancestral hall every day, and their hearts are somewhat blocked.
It's better to be a little farther away, it's better on Dayun Mountain, that is, not far from the Lu ancestral hall, and it's not a place that can be seen at a glance.
Lu Quan has not refuted the patriarch's proposal, but Lu Yuanping was the first to refuse.
The reason is similar to the reason why Lu Yuanshan bought Xiaoyun Mountain, and the Lu ancestral hall is at the foot of Xiaoyun Mountain. Lu Quan is going to build a house on the mountain in the future, so he can't let Lu Quan's family live on top of the Lu ancestral hall in the future.
As soon as Lu Yuanping said this, several clan elders immediately fell silent.
Lu Quan has to bear this favor, since he wants Lu Yuanping to help build the yard, then simply give him the silver taels, and the rest will naturally be regarded as a reward.
Lu Yangge took the money bag and asked, "Dad, is fifty taels enough to build a yard?" ”
"Enough, how not enough? You, Uncle Zhang, built more than a dozen houses, and they didn't spend twenty taels of silver. ”
The adobe and labor are their own, and they cannot be counted as money. The most expensive thing is to buy a house beam, their wasteland is full of miscellaneous trees, and there is no proper tree, so it can't be a roof beam.
The windbreak in Happy Ridge is full of stout metasequoia trees, but they are under the control of the government, and they dare not cut down a single tree and come back.
Lu Quan rocked the boat while settling accounts with Lu Yangge, "There are them on the stone mountain, and it takes just some effort." Now that it is winter, the weather is cold, and there is no work outside, and a person can hire a good strong laborer for thirty yuan a day, and he does not have to take care of the food. Quarrying, moving, and building walls, these jobs are simple, and the big guys will do it. I calculated, if it weren't for the fact that the yard you wanted was a little big, five taels would be enough for labor, and now the yard is big, and it would only be seven or eight taels if you died. You didn't see that when I said that I would take twenty taels out to build a stone yard and not build a house for the time being, those clan elders looked at me as if they were looking at a fool. ”
In the countryside, as long as the twenty taels are not big houses with blue bricks and black tiles, several mud houses must be built.
He, Lu Quan, is not a fool, two hundred taels to buy a barren mountain, twenty taels to build a stone yard.
"This time I bought the mountain, and you Yuan Pingbo still helped a lot. I estimated at the time that it would cost at least three hundred taels, but I didn't expect to win two hundred taels. ”
Because of buying the mountain this time, the relationship between Lu Quan and Lu Yuanping has become much closer, and when he talks to Lu Yangge, he is also a mouthful.
"Anyway, these fifty taels were given to you Yuan Pingbo, he only needs to take out twenty taels to build a yard for me, and then divide some of the extra to those clan elders to block their mouths. As for the remaining thirty taels, it is a thank you gift for Yuan Pingbo. He is the patriarch, and if we really want to move to Dongyang County in the future, we must always make friends with him. Even if we don't move here, this hill is here, the yard is here, does he have to take care of us from time to time? Don't look at the yard being built, if no one comes to live in it, sooner or later the courtyard wall will be picked up and the stones will be moved home. ”
"Besides, if this money builds a yard for him, he will always build our yard well, and he can't be fooled, right? Dad has taken all these aspects into account. We are not familiar with the people in the clan, and if we come here to settle down, even if we are a clansman, we will be a little xenophobic......"
"Daddy." Lu Yangge interrupted Lu Quan's nagging, "We won't come to Dongyang County to settle down. ”
"It's not that I'm reluctant to give up the fifty taels, it's just ...... What ......" Lu Quan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "What did you say?" Don't come to settle down? ”
If you don't come to settle down, you buy a hill to build a yard, what are you doing?
How much money is burned?
