The carriage did not run fast, and when the two sisters and brothers arrived at Zhuangzi, the sky was already full of red clouds, and the surrounding scenery was in full view.

Zhuangzi is built by the water, a small river flows slowly in front of the Zhuangzi, surrounded by a field, and the tenants are busy harvesting wheat.

According to the information that Gu Dachang and Gu Youhua reported before and after, even if the driver did not specify, Zhou Banxia knew that a field near the opposite side of the river was hers.

Perhaps because of its proximity to Zhending Mansion, there are not many granges with fertile soil in the surrounding area, and most of the villagers still own fertile fields scattered everywhere in the east and west.

I don't know if it was because of the proximity to Zhending Mansion, the economic conditions of these villages were obviously much better than those in the remote villages, or whether the yamen did not allow these fertile fields to become the private property of some big officials and gentry.

For example, even though this Zhuangzi is located outside the city, it still passes through two small villages, and there are not many fertile fields.

In a continuous field, wheat land only occupies 20 acres of it, but it is not comparable to the rich grange owned by the squire.

After the bluestone pavement paved in the narrow part of the river, there is a stone stele, but the original inscription of the word has been changed, and it has been changed to the stone tablet of "Zhou family".

There is no need to guess, Zhou Banxia also knew that it must have been ordered by Gu Wenxuan before, Gu Youhua did not dare to make an assertion, and changed it to the "Zhou family".

The Zhuangzi on the other side of the Fucheng City, and the Zhuangzi of the Dingzhou Mansion, although the Tian Deed fell under her name, she directly asked Gu Dachang to change it to "Gu Family" before.

However, whether it is his "Gu family" or her "Zhou family", having these two words means that he has entered his own territory, and it feels completely different.

"Third sister, why did Grandpa Fu say that it was good to come and see the dowry, didn't you buy it yourself, why did he think it was the dowry left by his aunt?"

"Well, that's a long story."

In fact, don't talk about Xiaohe, it's just that she lies a lot, and Zhou Banxia often forgets how to explain it clearly.

Just like everyone knew before that she didn't want her master's dowry, but why was the Zhuangzi in Dingzhou Mansion a gift from her master?

I really can't think of an excuse, so it's all given by my uncle.

As soon as this excuse came out, the uncle didn't scold her, but rolled his eyes at her twice in an insulting manner, making the aunt laugh happily.

But if she doesn't say that, she can't say it, she dares to say that she has paid real money, and if she doesn't expose the pancreas alone, she will make a lot of money.

Besides, there are still two reds at the end of the year, and she has to use the money to buy private property first, otherwise her character will not be good.

She dared to tell her uncle and aunt bluntly that she had made 10,000 taels of silver by betting on the handicap before, but she didn't dare to confess to Mrs. Gao and be lenient, and she couldn't tell the truth.

"It's a long story~" Xiaohe shook his little head, "Then make a long story short, I won't tell our father and mother, how many silver tickets do you have?" ”

Awesome, my brother!

I also know that I don't ask for silver, but ask for silver tickets.

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wanted to pull the little tug on Xiaohe's head, but unexpectedly, he was cleverly avoided by Xiaohe, "Sister, I'm annoyed!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't move your head. Don't worry, it's enough for you to spend, if you want to buy anything, if you don't want to go shopping, let's let Dahua send someone to buy it. ”

"That's what I mean, I'm worried that I won't have enough to spend?" Xiaohe learned Gu Wenxuan's expression, "I'm worried that you will spend money indiscriminately."

Look at how much money you have spent on the street today, thanks to our father not being on the side, otherwise he will scold you for wasting money, and you will not be able to spend it indiscriminately. ”

This little thing is becoming more and more of a housekeeper's wife.

Thinking of the small sample of Xiaohe who was distressed by the amount of ingredients after eating a meal in the restaurant, Zhou Banxiale, "So our father said to go back first, I won't stop him." ”

Xiaohe looked like Gu Wenxuan and gave a thumbs up to Zhou Banxia, "Gao, or my third sister, you are tall, do you believe it or not, our father guessed that you came here and spent money again, and deliberately dragged our mother home, just because I was afraid that you would take our mother to Dingzhou Mansion to buy things like before?" ”

Zhou Banxia smiled and lifted his forehead.

Xiaohe chuckled when he saw this, "I guessed it, our family doesn't know our father's thoughts, and I really think that our father wants her to go back and help." ”

Wrong.

It's that someone in our family has gone back with our father, and my mother is afraid that she will not be by our father's side, and as the days go by, there will be a mother-in-law and a maid to seduce our father.

But can I say that to you, little fellow?

As he spoke, the carriage traveled along a bluestone road, and a blue-brick house could be seen not far away.

This is a typical northern courtyard, divided into two courtyards, the front and the back.

There is a horse shed in the front yard, and there is a slippery inverted house, and flowers and plants are planted along the courtyard wall.

The main house in the front yard is the place where the host entertains guests, and the layout of the backyard is similar to that of the front yard, with the same five main rooms, three wings on the left and right, but the inner courtyard is more exquisite.

There is a Taihu Lake stone in the center of the courtyard, and a lot of flowers and plants are planted around, and the verandah is connected to the main room, and even the doors and windows are carved, pasted with high-quality window paper.

When I walked into the main hall, I saw that there were also one-color wenge wood furniture, a few Taishi chairs, a table, two flower tables, and a vase with flowers.

There are two main rooms with two doors next to the main hall.

There is a large bed and a warm kang in the main room.

There is a pedal more than one person wide in front of the big bed, and there are small tables at both ends of it, and the whole bed is carved with gold and lacquer, which is exquisite and luxurious.

Like the houses in the city, Zhuangzi left almost everything except for books and some valuable ornaments.

In this way, the house in the city and this Zhuangzi are really not expensive for three thousand taels of silver, after all, three large beds alone are worth a lot of silver.

As Xuanzi said, the former owner was recommended to the south as an official, and the things were insufficient, and the house was dealt with.

It doesn't change hands.

Let it go like this, the right to win three thousand taels of silver in the last bet, so keep the rent collection and the purchase warehouse in the province.

After looking at the two courtyards before and after, and then looking at the cellar and granary, I basically had a bottom in my heart, and Zhou Banxia didn't stay here much.

Explain the recent affairs of the village, hurry up and take advantage of the sunset before you have time to fall into the horizon, and bring a basket of fresh vegetables with Xiaohe directly back to the city.

The speed back to the city is not slow.

When I returned to Jiying Lane, it was still bright, but Gu Wenxuan and Da Jiang had already returned from outside.

The main hall of the inner courtyard is still stocked with the things that her sister and brother had gone shopping before and asked the shopkeeper to send them back, which proves where her sister and brother have gone.

When I went shopping all the way and bought all the way, I didn't feel that there were a lot of things to send back, and at this time I saw the real chapter, no wonder even the little guy was worried that she was spending money indiscriminately.

Phew, it's all a necessity.

was almost taken into the ditch by her two younger brothers, and Xuanzi felt that her daughter-in-law was still very diligent and thrifty, and she had worked hard for another day.

"What about you, can you go to Lin Mansion today?"
