Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 859 You are exposed
Zhou Banxia was muttering to himself as he nodded with a smile towards Zhiming and Jiaxing who were greeting him. He walked over to the two armchairs and chose the one on the right to sit down.

Not surprisingly, there were several wooden boxes on the table in front of the armchair. It was obvious that these wooden boxes were brought back by Zhiming and Jiaxing.

You speak up.

Just like choosing a seat, she left the armchair on the left to Gu Wenxuan. She also gave the right to speak to Gu Wenxuan, but what did she mean by just smiling and not saying anything?
"You two speak, Zhiming speaks first."

What Zhiming wanted to report was nothing more than going to the county government office today to pay the money for the transfer of ownership, and going to Yunkelai to exchange small change for copper coins, and some other trivial matters.

Like how to get to the inn and meet up with Uncle Yun before going into the city to the county government office, what her cousin said, what Manager Wang said, and other trivial matters.

Zhou Banxia believed that she could guess all these things and there was no need to report them to her, just like the location of the new shop and land under Ma Shan's name.

It was clearly marked on the land deeds and title deeds. Even the land deeds and title documents in the names of her parents-in-law were separated by boxes. Needless to say.

Zhou Banxia didn't know what Gu Wenxuan was up to for a moment. After listening quietly to Zhiming's words, she said she understood and then listened to Jiaxing's report.

The things Jiaxing reported here were obviously much more complicated, including the preparations before the spring plowing in the village, the progress of the re-signing of the tenants in the village, and other matters.

In addition, the team will be conducting an inventory of the manors that were acquired previously and those purchased this time, as well as integrating resources, etc.

Naturally, when it comes to the integration of these manors, it is natural to report on the recent situation of the guard team and how to cooperate with Zhiming and others to mobilize the guards.

"...I have already selected 20 people to join the guard team under the order of the Second Master. The workshop is short of staff and we have to wait for the manors to investigate and transfer them here."

This is of utmost importance. The character and background of those manors and servants who remain behind must be investigated, and after the investigation, they must be dispersed and arranged to unimportant positions.

Zhou Banxia nodded slowly and said, "You should also pay more attention to the people your Second Master asked you to keep an eye on, including their families."

Jiaxing and Zhiming naturally understood who those people she was referring to, and Jiaxing motioned Zhiming to reply, as Zhiming knew more about the matter than he did.

"Replying to Second Madam, before I came back, I had someone wait until dark to move the families from Huang's farm to Hexi. Second Master said he would meet those people in person tomorrow."

Gu Wenxuan, "..."

You're exposed, Xuanzi. Zhou Banxia suppressed her laughter and nodded, "Okay, is there anything else? If not, just follow your Second Master's instructions."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wenxuan waved his hand and asked Zhiming and Jiaxing to go back and do their own things. If they continued talking, it would be dark.

At this time, the wind in the yard was strong. He signaled Mai Huang and Mai Qing to pick up the wooden box on the table and follow him. He stood up, pulled Zhou Banxia up and helped her back to the room.

He went to the bathroom as usual, and when he came out, Mai Huang and Mai Qing were no longer in the warm room. Instead, the wooden boxes were neatly placed on the coffee table.

Gu Wenxuan was not in a hurry to sit down. After Zhou Banxia sat down, he went to the cabinet against the wall, opened the lower door, and pulled out one of the drawers.

He took out a flat wooden box from it, turned back to his original place, pulled a round stool and sat down in front of Zhou Banxia, ​​put the wooden box on his legs and opened it.

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, wondering if the order was wrong. Shouldn't she open the several wooden boxes on the coffee table beside her and then open this wooden box?
Obviously, it wasn't the man in her family who made a mistake. Not only did he take out a folded piece of paper from the wooden box and hand it to her, he also asked her to open it.

When Zhou Banxia took it, she saw a thick stack of papers inside the wooden box. God knows when this wooden box appeared inside the door of the cabinet. The cabinet is usually used to store tea sets and tea leaves. Where did such a flat wooden box come from? It was just bullying her because she had a big belly and couldn't squat down.

"This is?"

"Open the paper first." Gu Wenxuan said, putting the wooden box on his legs and the pulled-out lid at his feet, then moving the round stool to sit closer to Zhou Banxia.

Zhou Banxia glanced at him, turned over the folded paper in his hand, and then turned it over again, and finally spread the folded paper in four places on the legs of both men.

Before she could recall that Gu Wenxuan had moved the stool just to free up his thighs to spread out the paper, she saw on the paper, a map?

It's a map.

The top is north, the bottom is south, the left is west, and the right is east. It is centered on Qingyang County, with Zhoujia Village on the left and Taozhuang on the right. "Are these circles our own villages?"

"Right." Gu Wenxuan was not surprised that his wife could tell the difference at a glance. She ran a finger across the paper and said, "Here, it's not circled yet."

Next to Taozhuang, Zhou Banxia recalled the several manors that Gu Wenxuan mentioned last night, and understood a little, "Is this the manor that your eldest brother originally chose for my father?"

"You are smart, worthy of being my wife. The first thing I want to tell you is about this farm. I don't plan to give this farm to your father."

Zhou Banxia didn't care. It would be better if he didn't give her anything. But if she gave her something, her father would be very difficult to talk to and would refuse it. Anyway, she had bought a lot of property for her father in the past year.

Putting aside the piece of land at the roadside market, there are three shops in the county town. In addition to a house being built in the inner city of the capital this year, Huitou Village is going to build another house on that piece of land.

That's it.

Her father already had a hundred acres of land, and the rent was enough for her father to spend, and he could save a hundred taels of silver every year, which was good enough, so why would he need a farm as a gift?

The next task is Dajiang's. She still needs to contribute to Xiaohe's engagement and marriage, but she has done enough now.

"Don't be distracted. Listen to me first." Gu Wenxuan pointed his finger at a place on the paper page. "Here, remember this place."

"What?"

"Don't ask yet, just remember this Zhuangzi."

"..." Is it possible? You just want me to remember this farm, and want to exchange it for the farm that you don't plan to give to my father?

Zhou Banxia was not doubting, but was 100% sure. Even though she had not yet opened the several wooden boxes on the coffee table to her left, she was 100% sure that one of the wooden boxes belonging to her father must have contained the land deed and other documents of the farm.

"Please remember this first. I will tell you in detail later."

There is actually a sequel? Mysteriously, Zhou Banxia nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll remember it. What do you plan to name this manor?"

"We'll talk about it later. Anyway, many names need to be changed. For example, this place will still be called Qianjia Village." Gu Wenxuan pointed to another place and said, "I plan to make that end the same as Zhoujia Village on this side. That end will use Taozhuang as a transit station to connect to the county town in the west."
