Chapter 19: Arada Makes Gold
When the old man heard Chen Shu's words, he hurriedly looked at the golden melon seeds in his hand, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see a doorway, so he picked it up and put it in his mouth and bit it hard, almost breaking his teeth.
"It's gold, oops, I've never seen a golden melon seed when I live to this age! Little brother, where did you get this? ”
Chen Shu touched his head and grinned: "My owner has a few pieces of land in Qingshangang, which has been barren, and today somehow, the owner wanted to turn over the land and plant some flowers on a whim, who would have thought that I would go down with a hoe and dig out such a treasure!" ”
When the old man heard this, his eyes rolled a few times, and he asked Chen Shu to wait here, and he took the hoe and hurriedly left.
Not far away, Shen Lingyu and Chen Shu glanced at each other, and a smile appeared at the corner of their mouths.
Not long after, the old man returned, but there were two more people behind him, who were Ye Wanran's maiden uncle.
Shen Lingyu checked, and when Ye Wanran's maiden uncle came to her to ask for money, he mentioned in passing that he wanted to farm.
The Ye family actually has land, it is in Qingshangang, although it is not conducive to the harvest, but as long as they are diligent in maintenance, it is no problem to produce grain to feed the family every year.
It's just that Ye Wanran's uncle is all lazy and lazy, and he just wants to sit back and enjoy his success, and when he saw that the land here in Balipo was good, he made up his mind.
Ye Wanran couldn't handle them, so she secretly transferred the land deeds on both sides.
After changing the land, the two were still lazy and didn't want to move, so they handed over the land to the tenant in Zhuangzi to take care of, and the old man was the one in Zhuangzi.
At that time, Ye Wanran's uncle hurriedly walked in front of Chen Shu one after the other, and before he opened his mouth, he brushed and looked at the golden melon seeds in his hand, and his eyes glowed green.
"Are these golden melon seeds really turned out of the barren fields of Qingshangang?"
"Naturally!" Chen Shu nodded categorically.
The two glanced at each other, and then said, "Little brother, you take us to have a look, will you?" ”
Chen Shu immediately showed a vigilant look, "Who are you, why should I take you there, those barren fields belong to our owner." ”
"Look at what you said, I know who your owner is, but coincidentally, we are the maiden uncle of the second lady of the General's Mansion, go and see that piece of gold, it's not in the way." The two of them smiled at Chen Shu.
Seeing them take the bait, Chen Shu pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it, and then nodded.
"Alright, then you guys come with me."
When the two heard this, they hurriedly followed.
Originally, they could have crossed Chen Shu and went directly to Qingshangang, but the land over there was no longer theirs, and if they turned it rashly, they were afraid that the General's Mansion would be angry, after all, Wan'er did it secretly when she replaced the land deeds on both sides.
If there is a big trouble, they will not say anything about the crime, and Wan'er will also be punished.
Although they don't have any feelings for that niece, they know very well in their hearts that they and Wan'er will be both prosperous and lossy, as long as she is still the second lady of the General's Mansion, they will eat and drink for the rest of their lives.
After a while, Chen Shu took the two of them to the barren field of Qingshan Gang.
He pointed to the place where the golden melon seeds had been buried and said to the two, "This is where the gold was found." ”
"This land...... It doesn't look like it's been flipped, right? One wondered.
Chen Shu frowned, "Didn't I say it just now, I just dug a hoe, and I saw this golden melon seed, and other places naturally haven't touched it, but I think there must be more than one golden melon seed in this field, if you don't believe it, I'll continue to dig it to you!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the hoe on the edge of the field and continued to hoe twice.
This is terrible, and several shiny golden melon seeds all fell to the ground.
Chen Shu was taken aback and hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
"I've made a fortune, I've made a fortune, I really didn't expect this wasteland to really produce gold!"
Seeing this, the two were stunned for a while.
As their eyes flickered, the two silently exchanged thoughts.
"Hehe, little brother, shall we discuss something?"
Chen Shu looked up, "What's the matter?" ”
Ye Wanran's uncle grinned and said: "That's the case, these ten acres of barren land were originally our Ye family, but something happened a few days ago, and it was in the hands of the General's Mansion." Now that you've dug up the golden melon seeds, why don't we split them in half?
Think about it, you only earn a few wages a month, and now you have gold, and you will never be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in the future! ”
They thought that this proposal was enough to make Chen Shu tempted, but Chen Shu straightened his face and put on a righteous attitude.
"How can this be done! The land is the general's mansion, and the gold dug up will naturally be handed over to the owner, and I am not sure that this is gold, so I will go to the old man to identify it, and now I have dug up so many treasures, and the owner will definitely reward me! ”
With that, he picked up his things and walked back.
When the two of them saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, they couldn't help but be anxious.
"That kid is a fool, it won't work at all, what can I do now?"
"How do I know, it's all your fault, if you didn't have to ask for the land of Balipo in the first place, wouldn't it be us who dig up the gold now!"
"You know now that you blame me, didn't you also say that my idea was good when the deed was exchanged?"
"Heck, now is not the time to blame each other, let's hurry up and figure out how to get that gold in our hands!"
"There it is! Let's just exchange the deed back! ”
Ye Wanran's uncle clapped his hands, and his eyes were bright.
Her uncle was still a little hesitant, but when he thought of the gold in Chen Shu's arms, he immediately relented.
"Done, that's it!"
After the two made up their minds, they immediately caught up with Chen Shu and returned to the general's mansion with him.
I thought of it halfway, but I happened to meet Shen Lingyu's carriage.
Chen Shu saluted respectfully, "Third lady." ”
"What's wrong?" Shen Lingyu asked through the window.
Chen Shu said the matter in a few words, and handed over the golden melon seeds he dug to Shen Lingyu.
Shen Lingyu frowned and said, "But I remember, the land of the General's Mansion is not in Qingshangang?" ”
Without waiting for Chen Shu to answer, Ye Wanran's uncle immediately stepped forward to explain.
"The third lady, there was really no original, but when the first second lady was in charge of the house, she learned from a Jianghu warlock that the feng shui of Qingshangang could ensure the wealth of the general's mansion for a hundred years, so she took the ten acres of fertile land in Balipo and exchanged it with us.
We thought of her painstakingly and agreed, but now we regret it, and hope that the third lady will return the land of Qingshangang to us! ”
Shen Lingyu smiled when he heard this:
"Didn't Ye Da Bomo see gold growing in the barren fields of Qingshangang, so he wanted to take the land back?
Oh, that's really hard for me, after all, the charlatan's words are true.
As soon as the second sister-in-law changed the field, the people in the house dug up the gold, and I think it is better to keep the ten acres of barren land. ”
When the uncle of the Ye family saw that she refused to return it, his face immediately darkened.
"The third lady is going too far, the land is ours, why don't you give it! If it is difficult for a strong man, be careful that I will go to the government to sue you! ”
