The snow was deep before, and it was white.

I can't see anything clearly.

Now that the snow is starting to melt, you can see the location of the grove in a circle.

Situated at the foot of the mountain.

In front is eight acres of wasteland, and behind is a small forest that spreads from south to north to a slightly higher hillside, and the east and west sides of the hillside are still mountains.

It can be described as a dangerous place to guard.

West Wing.

In the study, although Zhou Banxia had not had time to sort out the cages he brought back when he arrived home, because there were originally four treasures of the study on the bookcase, it did not affect the drawing of drawings.

"You see, if you build a manor behind this-" Gu Wenxuan pointed to the drawings that had just been drawn and the ink had not yet dried, "Is there a workshop in front and a mountain in the back?"

Crucially, there is a cave in the wall behind this hillside.

The entrance to the cave is not large, and only half an adult child can climb into it, but the inside is large.

Look at the grove, which acts as a buffer zone, separating the workshop from the estate.

When the manor is built in the future, it is completely possible to build a fence on both sides to connect it.

Two roads were cleared, one leading to the workshop and the other to the west, and as a last resort, it was enough to retreat to the manor and guard the gates. ”

Zhou Banxia understood what he meant.

Don't let the small be the big one.

Although the grove is placed there, and it can be taken advantage of next to it, its ownership is not in the hand, and it is easy to be copied from behind.

If you want to do it, you have to buy the whole grove, and the small hillside behind the grove must be pocketed, and when the workshop is built, then the manor will be built.

"How much silver will it cost to take it all?"

"It's not expensive. Before I came back, I went to Uncle Li Zheng to inquire, such a big piece-" Gu Wenxuan drew a circle with his finger in the air, "No need for three hundred taels of silver." ”

"Including this hillside?"

"Yes!"

"Buy!"

Gu Wenxuan smiled, and told her a secret - why no one bought the vacant land in front of the grove and no one opened up the wasteland, just because it was in the middle of the two villages.

His great-grandfather, who was the patriarch before, wanted the clansmen to open up the wasteland, but the old man in Gujiazhuang did not agree, and then the Gu family wanted to open up the wasteland, but the old Gu family did not agree.

So the vacant land was left there unattended, and became more and more desolate, and even the orchards of the early years were turned into deserted groves on both sides.

Zhou Banxia was amused when he heard this.

"No wonder my father said that if I wanted to buy it, I can definitely buy it now, but it is too wild, and it is better to ask someone to open up the wasteland than to buy the land directly.

There is also this contradiction, the Gu family does not sell the Zhuangzi to the Ma family, and I can't still buy the wasteland in the name of the Zhou family's daughter. ”

"Not really. When it comes to our father, there are more brothers in their generation, and if they want to open up the wasteland, how can the Gu family stop it, they didn't take care of it first.

Besides, at that time, my great-grandfather was still a talent and the head of a family, and he really had to deal with a businessman from an outsider's household, as well as his ancient family village.

The main thing is that as our father said, some gains outweigh the losses, so no one is staring.

But if the population increases, the land will not grow, and sooner or later someone will buy it.

But there are also reasons why you bought it, like digging a ditch and digging there today, no one will make trouble.

In addition to our father's good popularity in the clan, it is also because you are the daughter of the Zhou family.

If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, if someone dares to make things difficult for you today, it is to deceive you that there is no one in the Zhou family, and tomorrow there will be the Zhou family to block the water.

This has nothing to do with whether the relationship with you is intimate or not, don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath.

Today you were bullied by outsiders in the village, and tomorrow it may be their turn. ”

Rabbit dead fox sad thing and so on?

It seems to make sense to say that this side is to be used as a base to build a fortress.

The two chatted for a while, and unanimously decided to buy the site first, and then try to build a small manor after the workshop is built and the construction is straightened out.

Be prepared.

When the time comes, it is completely possible to collect grain while carrying out construction, and come to "build a granary, build a high wall, and accumulate grain." ”

Even if B is in turmoil one day, it can give your family a place to stay.

In addition, you can also buy some young and strong Zhuang Ding with a small family in the name of keeping some crafts in the workshop secret, and you will have a certain defensive force.

After discussing, that night, while Gu Erzhu and Liu had not yet gone to bed, Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia took the revised drawings and silver tickets to the main room.

It's no better than Liu's only knowing that the old son went to the field in the evening, and Gu Erzhu saw the old son and the younger couple coming, so he knew what the old son had in mind.

During the day, I couldn't get rid of the old son, but I saw the old son go around the eight acres of wasteland and then go to the woods and climb the hillside.

But!

"What, where is the granary?"

Gu Erzhu was really frightened when he saw his old son pointing to the drawings with his fingers and mentioning which location to stay to build a granary, and immediately looked at the reliable old daughter-in-law.

Zhou Banxia nodded to show that he heard correctly, "Dad, to put it bluntly, Liulang is just afraid that he will make too much money, and in case of a catastrophe year, our family will be targeted." ”

Look, Sanya is still reliable, and he won't even be unable to speak clearly.

Gu Erzhu nodded slowly, "It works, when it's really fatal, you can't prevent it." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Erzhu remembered that there was something to explain to the child.

"Our old Gu family actually has a hiding place, not far from the ancestral grave.

Every year when I go into the mountain to worship my ancestors, there is a cave behind the big stone I let your two brothers touch, and it is the place where the people of the clan hide and hide when it is time to die.

When our old Gu family ancestors migrated here, the first patriarch chose there, and every subsequent patriarch had a mission.

When you are the patriarch, you can't leave the village for more than a month, protect the place, and hide the food secretly with the next patriarch, don't ask me how I know. ”

Gu Wenxuan pushed his daughter-in-law.

Zhou Banxia, "Dad, I want to know, I won't say." ”

Gu Erzhu, who saw the old son's small movements clearly, "Cough, listen to what your grandfather and your grandfather said."

It's just to be painted according to Rokuro, Sanya, I'm afraid that all the money you earn will be spent on it. ”

"Dad, people are more important than money. As long as people are here, even if they spend all their family resources, what are you afraid of, you can still leave a way out for future generations, you say? ”

"The truth is that this is the truth, that is, I have wronged you." Saying that, Gu Erzhu's old son slanted Ni, thinking that you are a stupid boy.

Liu couldn't help laughing anymore, "Don't you look at their little ones and they haven't called their eldest brother and sister-in-law, aren't you worried that their sister-in-law will tell the silver." ”

Zhou Banxia nodded hurriedly, "My mother still understands me, I'm really afraid that my sister-in-law will say that one person will give one share."

Outsiders don't know, Dad, you and my mother should know that I make a lot of money, right?

You say that my sister-in-law still wants to be one person out of the other, I don't feel sorry.

Several times I wanted to tell my sister-in-law the truth, but the words came to my lips and swallowed back-"

"Can't tell!"

"Don't say it!"

Gu Wenxuan laughed.

With a "snap", Gu Erzhu slapped his old son's leg, "Be quiet." Okay, Daddy knows what you mean, so let's get that woods in our hands first. ”
