Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 858
Seeing Bai Anchen's current appearance, Du Shi gave him a mocking look, and Shi Shiran turned around and left.

Bai Anchen came to his senses and subconsciously raised his feet to chase after him. He was stopped as soon as he reached the door. When he looked around, he only saw a corner of Du's clothes disappearing from his sight.
"Mr. Du, stop here..."

No matter how he shouted, no one responded to him.

All the way back to her room, Du Shi took a long breath, and the depression she was holding in her heart finally dissipated.Today, she went to find her fifth younger brother and sister to help with needlework. She happened to hear Xiaonian's report. She couldn't hold back her curiosity and went to take a look.

She had always known that the official was trapped in the side courtyard, and she didn't want to go there to seek bad luck. Today, she didn't control her own feet.

But it was so comforting to see him looking sluggish, with unwilling eyes, but also a look of helplessness.

When Bai Yunxi came back with Wenyou, Mrs. Zhu reported to her the situation at home.

Thinking of Du's character, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. She was quite courageous. She actually dared to run to watch other people's jokes?
It's understandable when you think about it. That kid Bai Anchen has done so many sorry things, and now he deserves to be laughed at.

Du Shi had too much grievances suppressed in her heart, and they had to be released.

When Zhang Yishan came over with Ginkgo, Baiyunxi had just drank some water to catch her breath.

"Mom, do you have a crush on Zhuangzi?"

Bai Yunxi nodded, "I went to Yaxing and looked around, and it sounds like there are a few suitable villages. I have to go and check them out."

Since you want to store ducks, the farm you buy must have either a pond or a river. If this is not possible, an orchard is also possible.

"It's all up to my mother to decide."

Zhang Yishan turned around and took the box from Ginkgo's hand and placed it on the Kang table in front of Bai Yunxi.

"Mom, this is for you."

Looking at the red lacquer box in front of him, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Yishan blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"My mother is busy buying property for this family. As a daughter-in-law, I can't just sit back and watch. This is my intention. Please don't blame me."

Zhang Yishan's face turned red and she held the handkerchief nervously.

She knew in her heart that giving money to support her mother-in-law would easily make people feel uncomfortable, but she knew what the Bai family's fortune was. When she learned that her mother-in-law wanted to buy a small village, she took out the bottom of the box that her mother had left for her when she returned home. .

My mother-in-law works hard for the whole family, and as the head mother, she cannot just sit back and watch.

Listening to Zhang Yishan's thoughts, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle and opened the box. Inside was a stack of banknotes, 50 taels each, a total of 1000 taels.

During this period, one tael of silver was equal to one pound of money.

It's really easy to exchange it for silver notes and hold it. If it's copper coins, you have to carry half a bag.

Knowing that her mother-in-law loved her daughter, she didn't expect that she would be so considerate and prepare so many ready-made banknotes for her daughter.

"This is the gun base prepared by your mother for you. You gave it to me. What will you do if I need it in the future?"

Listening to her mother-in-law's question, Zhang Yishan's cheeks turned red.

"My mother told me when she gave me these banknotes that I would take them out when I need them in the future. Now that I want to buy a small village, isn't it the time when I need money?"

Looking at Zhang Yishan and listening to her explanation, Bai Yunxi laughed out loud, "You silly girl, your mother-in-law asked you to keep it for emergencies. If you give it to me, it will be confiscated."

"Mom, what you said is wrong. I am also a member of the family, so naturally I have to do my best for the family."

As soon as she came to Fucheng, her mother-in-law asked her to take care of the house. Such trust made it worth her efforts for the family.

Baiyunxi chuckled lightly,
"My mother will be very satisfied if you have this intention. You don't need to use the dowry to supplement it for the time being. I still have money on hand. It will be the same if I ask for it from you after I use it."

With that said, Bai Yunxi pushed the box in front of her.

"This is your dowry. Keep it well. Mom is not old enough to use your daughter-in-law's dowry yet."

To be honest, Zhang Yishan was able to come up with the dowry. She was surprised and at the same time felt that it was reasonable. The daughter who was educated by her mother-in-law thought about the overall situation and was for the sake of the entire family and the proper upbringing of the matron.

Hearing her mother-in-law's rejection, Zhang Yishan was a little embarrassed.
"I've brought them all, mom, just keep them for use."

"I just said that I still have it in my hand. You kid, how can anyone take money and force it on someone? It's really not needed. If I'm in a hurry, I won't be polite to you."

In the end, Zhang Yishan had no choice but to go back with the box in her arms.

Bai Yunxi held her chin and looked at Zhang Yishan's leaving figure. She couldn't help but be speechless. Xiao Wu was really lucky to have such a virtuous wife.

The next day, Baiyunxi had an early meal and took Wenyou out. Today she had an appointment with Yahui to check on Xiaozhuangzi.

After several people met at the city gate, they drove forward. One mile away from the city gate, there was a small village, with mountains and water at its back, and more than a dozen families living in it. In front of it was a bare field, and behind the village was a half-century village. On the hillside, a stream meanders out of the mountain and merges into the river in the fields.

When winter comes, everything is desolate and the fields are in a resting period. This is also an active period for property trading.

The spring and autumn harvest seasons involve crops in the fields. Unless there are special circumstances, few people sell their fields.

Ya Hui pointed to a field in front of him and explained to Bai Yunxi with a smile,

"This is Qianpo Village. It is the closest to the city gate. It is very convenient to enter and exit the city. The fields are also very fertile and easy to irrigate. It is a very popular small village. The only drawback is that it is too small. There are only [-] acres of paddy fields and [-] acres on the back hillside. acres of orchards.”

"In addition to tenant farmers, there are also several families of ordinary people living in Zhuangzi. On weekdays, they raise chickens, ducks, sell vegetables, and go into the city carrying ladles."

While explaining to them, Ya Hui led them along the creek to the halfway point and showed Baiyun Xi the orchard over there.

After looking at it again and again, Baiyunxi began to think about it. No wonder it was so close to Fucheng, but no one wanted to buy it. For ordinary people buying real estate, it was not very cost-effective.

The orchard in the back hill occupies too much space, and the fields in front are somewhat scattered, making it inconvenient to manage.

"Only the advantage of being close to the capital city, the rest is really unsatisfactory."

After hearing Bai Yunxi's tone, Yahui smiled.
"You are right, but I heard from the owner that the harvest in the back mountain orchard is still good, and the price is reasonable."

In terms of price, Baiyunxi has no objection. The land here in Fucheng is similar to that in their hometown. Paddy fields cost eight guans per acre. As for orchards, they are more expensive, costing five guans per acre.

Yahui saw that Baiyunxi was hesitant about this village, and pointed to the hillside in the distance.
"There is also a Houpo Village over there with a hundred acres of paddy fields. Let's go take a look?"

"Okay, now that I'm here, I might as well read them all."
