Jinyi Night Walk

In the yard, craftsmen are busy.The girders of the main house have been installed.Going to the beam was originally a big event, and ordinary people would invite young and strong men from the neighbors to help the beam, and then hold a banquet to celebrate and thank them, but Xia Xun's status in Moling Town is now uncertain, and no one dares to If you provoke someone that no one dares to touch, you don't have to think about asking the neighbors.

After getting on the girder, the next thing is easy to handle. On the top, mix yellow mud and straw with glutinous rice juice to spread the roof. The indoor has its own skilled craftsmen to build the dust, and then pieces of bright red tiles are built from the ridge of the roof in fish scales. , the bright and majestic main house took shape, the four beams and columns of the main house have been painted with varnish, and there is a faint smell of paint in the yard.

Xiaodi and Peng Ziqi are squatting in the backyard. There is an area of ​​one mu square. It was originally the vegetable field in the backyard of the Yang family, just like ordinary farms. Later, it was used as a cow shed. Now it has been leveled out, and there is a granary in the plan. , mills, inner houses and pavilions, etc., but there are still a lot of places that are temporarily vacant.

Holding the red skirt in her arms, Xiaodi said happily, "Sister, how about building a small pavilion here? Plant some bamboos, build a big bathroom, and grow some flowers outside."

Peng Ziqi smiled and said: "You, do you want to move your house in Qingzhou? This yard is not as good as that in Qingzhou. It's a bit smaller. It seems that the houses and yards here are not like those over there. They enclose a hundred acres of land and build randomly. , the place is small, the design must be careful.”

Xiao Di said, "Then what good idea do you have?"

Peng Ziqi said: "Neither did I. When I was at home, there were so many uncles and cousins. There were so many men, so there was no need for me to worry about these things. Apart from practicing martial arts and studying, I was forced to become a female celebrity." , basically nothing to do with me."

Xiao Di rolled his black eyes, and suddenly said happily: "Then... How about digging a pool here and building a rockery next to it? Make one here and another there, dig a bigger pool in the middle, and build a rockery on top. Curved bridge."

Peng Ziqi smiled and said, "Okay, it must sound pretty."

Carpenter Wang was passing by with a charcoal pencil in his ear. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Madam, Miss Xiaodi, that's not allowed. The system is well established and the imperial court has its own laws. The current status of the master, If the flower pond in the mansion is built with double mountains, it will violate the regulations, and the house will be ransacked and beheaded."

Peng Ziqi stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice: "It's so troublesome, how can I understand this, and almost caused a catastrophe."

Xiaodi was also a little depressed, so he said, "Forget it, don't need a rockery, how about just building a pond?"

Peng Ziqi thought for a while and said: "I don't want it anymore. Our house is not very big. If we build a pool, it will take up too much space. Besides... Besides..., in the future... there will always be children in our house, come here If you run away, what if you fall into the water? It’s too unsafe.”

Xiao Di chuckled, "Sister Peng, you are so thoughtful."

Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she looked at Peng Ziqi excitedly: "Sister, you...you won't have a child anymore?"

Peng Ziqi pouted and said, "Where is it, I think..."

Xiaodi stroked her belly, licked her lips enviously: "Oh, anyway, sooner or later, hehe, it must be fun to raise a baby?"

Peng Ziqi took a look at her, and found that her gaze... was exactly like her expression when she hugged a puppy, and immediately became alert: "Hey, hey, kids are not puppies, you are not allowed to play with them."

Xiao Di said: "I don't know how to do that." Immediately afterwards, he made a reservation: "However, when you and the young master have a baby, you must let me hold it, um, give it to me every day."

While the two were talking, a servant brought in a middle-aged man with a green scarf. Peng Ziqi saw him coming several times, and recognized him as a dentist, so he hurriedly stood up with Xiaodi.

"Oh, madam, you are here."

The man from the dental shop laughed before saying anything, nodded and bowed his head: "Madam, Manager Xiao of your mansion entrusted me to find a piece of land for your mansion. I have not been idle these few days, and I have been asking everywhere. Coincidentally, there happened to be a An official let go of his post and wanted to move his family away. The local houses and fields were eager to sell.

The young man talked about it, and the official heard that Mr. Yang of your mansion was a student, and he was a scholar. He couldn't help but feel good about it, so he agreed to sell the land to your mansion.The young one negotiated the price for a long time, and the official promised to resell all of the [-] mu of high-quality paddy fields in his house to your mansion. One mu of high-quality paddy fields has ten guan notes. Madam, can you still make it? "

"A land deal?"

Housekeeping and financial management is Peng Ziqi's weakness. How could she understand these things? She turned to look at Xiaodi as if asking for help, but Xiao Huo was also in a daze. Are there any inaccuracies in what the dental staff said?"

Seeing her hesitation, the shopkeeper said, "Ma'am, there are many people vying for the [-] acres of paddy fields. To tell you the truth, there are three households wanting to buy even the small ones. Each of their families can’t eat [-] acres of land in one go. If I want to transfer the land to them, I have to dismantle it and sell it. It’s troublesome. But if you don’t make up your mind quickly, then I’ll sell the land to them first. I will find a suitable plot for you later.”

The people in the dental shop said, and they were about to leave. Peng Ziqi was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! This paddy field...is it really a high-quality paddy field? When signing the contract, we have to go and see it for ourselves. Shiguan Is the price fair for one mu of cash?"

The man in the dental shop smiled and said: "That's natural, that's natural. Madam, you know that he is an official and a gentleman. Isn't he a good farm, can he cultivate it? Let me give you an idea, the price is not low. In our Jiangnan area, the top-grade paddy fields are only sold for [-]-[-]-pound bills, but they This land is the best land. It is close to the water source. Because you want to sell it, it will give you a high price, or it will be higher. If you buy it piecemeal, it is not impossible to buy it. The land is cheaper than this, but... your family also wants the land to be connected? Isn't it convenient to manage, and you can still have two acres in the East Village and one and a half acres in the West Village?"

Hearing his sincerity and reason, Peng Ziqi nodded hesitantly and said, "The master and the steward are not here. If that's the case, I'll make an appointment with you first..."

"Ten bills, you still buy twenty acres, which is not cheap!"

Xia Xun and Guanshi Xiao came in from the outside, Guanshi Xiao whispered something to Xia Xun, Xia Xun walked over with a smile, Peng Ziqi was overjoyed, relaxed immediately, and called: "Officer."

Xiao Di ran over directly and asked impatiently: "Young Master, are you seeing Young Madam?"

Xia Xun patted her little hand, and said to the clerk, "It's really hard work for you to go back and forth. Yang sincerely wants to buy the land. As long as the price is fair, he will definitely sell it. Of course, you have worked hard for it, and your benefits Naturally, I can't be short. But his [-] acres, regardless of whether it's really a good farm..."

The dental prodigy patted his chest, swore and swore: "Master Yang, this is not bad. Of course, those who work in our line of work are the ones who cut tofu with a knife, and make tricks with their mouths everywhere, but there are some words that don't dare Nonsense. Is that place good? You go to have a look and ask around, you can’t hide it from anyone, no matter how stupid you are, how dare you play tricks on it.”

Xia Xun smiled: "Don't worry, I also believe that you are telling the truth, but ten pennies per mu of land is not too cheap, let alone if I eat twenty mu in one go, he should be cheaper That's right. As you can see, I have just returned to my hometown, and my family is doing a lot of construction work, so I'm a little short of money. Two pennies, that's forty pennies, what about a year's salary for a seven-rank Zhengtang magistrate, do you know what I mean?"

Just now, the tooth dealer saw that the housewife was not good at managing money, and pretended that the other party was eager to make a move, catching her desire to buy, and with a few words, he walked her in. He was happy to make a fortune, but when he heard Xia Xun say that Knowing that he ran into something difficult, he couldn't help but secretly exhale bad luck: "If he comes back later..."

The toothbrush still didn't give up, and said again: "But...they are only willing to sell at the price of ten yuan and one mu, and the little one has already tried his best. This official is a foreign official, and he will take office soon. Afraid……"

Xia Xun smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Look, my house is all in order. How can I get to the beginning of August? What else can I plant at that time? When I have a year, you can take your time to look for it." , if this one is not suitable, then find another one, you are in the dental business, you won’t do one business every year? Hehe, I believe you can always find a suitable field.”

The toothbrush agreed with a bitter face, and backed out in a desperate manner.He already knew Xia Xun's minimum limit, [-] mu of high-quality farmland, eight guan notes per mu, if it is not a particularly good condition, it is best not to exceed this price in terms of price.

Peng Ziqi patted his chest and smiled happily: "Officer, it's fortunate that you are back. I have never taken care of these things. What people say sounds reasonable. I just heard that he was in a hurry and was afraid of being bought by others." After leaving, I almost agreed. Now that I think about it, I don’t want to be deceived by him.”

Xia Xun comforted him and said, "If a person has strengths, he must have weaknesses. How can there be someone who is omnipotent? Although I know the price of land, I don't really understand the market of water acres in the south of the Yangtze River. It was Lao Xiao who did it." reminded me."

Peng Ziqi saw that he didn't blame him for making random decisions, so he couldn't help but smile sweetly, and asked again: "Officer, is the trip going well? Have you...have you met her?"

Xia Xun frowned slightly, and was thinking about how to explain the situation to Zi Qi, when a strange voice behind him said: "Yang Xu, no matter how busy you are with your personal affairs, you can't ignore the family affairs at all! Today I yelled all over the street in the morning, even if you didn't hear it, there are so many people in your house, no one heard it? You can't just ignore it."

As soon as Xia Xun turned around, she saw Yang Yu standing there with Yang Wenwu.Xia Xun said in disgust, "What are you doing here?"

Yang Yu said: "What are you doing? Please, you busy person. There are important matters to be discussed in the clan, and people from every house have already gathered in our Yang family's ancestral hall. Now the patriarch, clan elders, and elders of each house , are waiting for you, Yang Xiucai, to drive you!"
