Chapter 52 Buying Land

Liang Yimei looked at the little mouse squinting its pea-sized eyes and half tilted its head up to look at the sky and smiled, she knew it must have no good idea, so she didn't say anything, just coughed, pulled the little mouse's attention back and said : "I've been very busy these days, and you will take care of the affairs in the space. I will definitely reward you when I am free later! If you dare to be lazy again, I will deduct your spiritual liquid!"

After getting some reassurance from the little mouse, she left contentedly.

In Xu's mansion, the old butler looked at the young master who was leaving excitedly, and turned to ask the white-bearded old man who was drinking tea in his seat: "Master, why did you agree to let the young master do it by himself this time?"

Yan Lao took a sip of tea and said, "He should be sensible now. We used to be afraid of his accident and protect him everywhere, but in the past few years he has only improved a little bit. I am old and will leave one day. His father How long can we protect him, and the number of times he has returned home in the past two years has become less and less, we can't force him away just to protect him, right?"

The old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, the master finally looked away, for more than ten years he had seen the young lady doting on the young master, and the always wise master not only didn't stop him, but was more protective of the calf than them, the young master didn't care at all. Knowing business matters, fortunately, the master taught him well, even if the young master is confused on the inside, but the surface is always unpredictable, plus the master's title of "jade-faced fox" when he was young, there is no one on the outside. People dare to underestimate him.The only people who know about the young master's nature are a few close family members and two good friends of the young master.

Yan Lao put down the teacup and asked, "You sent someone to watch secretly. Although you agreed not to intervene, if other people's houses don't have the eyes to run into them by themselves, you can send someone to dismiss them."

The old butler shook his head secretly, just now he said that he didn't care.

A buddy who has been with him for many years, how could Mr. Yan not know what he was thinking.Feeling a bit ashamed, he explained: "Even if you want to let go, you can't become a fat man in one bite. What if the child's heart changes if he is too aggressive?"

The old butler was already used to it, and he nodded and said "yes".

Yan Lao said to himself: "Xin'er's heart is really good, after all these years, he still maintains the heart of a child..."

The old housekeeper rolled his eyes behind the master's back, you know that you are too spoiled, but fortunately, the young master's disposition is indeed good enough.

The next day, Xu Runxin ran to Liang's house early in the morning with two servants carrying a bank note of 1 taels. The two servants followed the young master with wry smiles. Silver ones?But no matter what the two young men said, Xu Runxin took it with him personally.

Liang Yimei looked at the person and asked in surprise, "Why did you come so early?"

Xu Runxin smiled and said, "Let's go to the county government together later, are you ready?"

The two servants behind him lowered their heads and wanted to bury them in the soil.

It was the first time Liang Yimei saw him bring a servant to her house, and she stopped treating him like before, and let him in directly, causing Xu Runxin to take a look at her even when she entered the yard.

"Meizi, who's here?" Fifth Grandma heard a noise in the kitchen.

"Fifth Grandma, I'm here. What delicious food do you have? Do you still have the fish porridge from last time?" Xu Runxin left Liang Yimei and ran to the kitchen door.

Liang Yimei invited the two servants into the living room, but they refused, and only wanted to stay in the porter's room. Liang Yimei didn't understand their rules, but she also knew that servants could not sit in front of the master, and they felt uncomfortable, so they stayed in the porter's room. Li served them a pot of tea, and thought that they had come so early, he asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Distressed expressions appeared on the faces of the two servants, and Liang Yimei knew that Xu Runxin was "uncommonly confused" again.He smiled and said: "It's just right, we haven't eaten yet, now I'm asking you what, just finished, you wait, I'll bring you some."

The two servants smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you, miss!"

Liang Yimei served them some fish porridge and two plates of pickles.The Liang family's breakfast has always been simple, most of the time it is a variety of porridge with various pickles and peppers.I don't know why, Xu Runxin just likes to come here for breakfast, but it has never been so early, and he is probably excited. It seems that the elders of the Xu family have agreed to let him exercise.

Liang Yilin went to the academy early in the morning, exactly what Liang Yimei did when she was in middle school in her previous life, getting up before dawn and going to the county school for morning reading.In fact, there are many students who live in the county school. Even Zheng Jue, whose home was only separated from the county school by a wall, also went to live in the county school (he has a wife), but Liang Yilin was worried about his family, so he didn’t Fortunately, the county school is not far away, but I don't know how he felt when he saw his sister sleeping soundly when he woke up from sleep?
Liang Yimei returned to the dinner table. Xu Runxin chatted with Grandpa Fifth while eating porridge, and even took time to flatter Grandma Fifth. Liang Yimei directly filled a bowl for herself and said, "Why did you come so early today?"

"It's still early? You see, Brother Lin has already gone to school."

Liang Yimei rolled her eyes, "Brother left just before dawn, what's the use of you coming so early? Also, why did you think of bringing two followers today?"

Xu Runxin smiled proudly: "I always need an errand runner to do things. They have served me since I was a child, so naturally they will follow me."

Liang Yimei nodded, and asked again: "How much land do you plan to buy? Have you brought enough money?"

"Of course." Xu Runxin took out the money from his pocket and showed it to Liang Yimei, "I'll buy everything except what you bought. I brought a total of 1 taels. If it's not enough, I'll ask for it when I go back."

No matter how calm Liang Yimei was, she almost spit out porridge, and the fifth grandpa coughed a few times. Fortunately, the fifth grandma didn't eat.Liang Yimei sighed, and put down the bowl in her hand, "Does your grandfather know that you brought so much money?" Xu Runxin's father took his mother out to play and do business in the beginning of spring, and now his grandfather disciplines him.

"Of course I know. I told my grandfather this morning and asked me to pick it up at the account."

Liang Yimei wondered, "Does your family keep so much cash at home?"

"No, it's just a coincidence this time. Grandpa is about to send the second manager of the family to the north. If he used to get it from the bank."

Only then did Liang Yimei settle the accounts for him, "Didn't your grandfather tell you that you don't need to bring so much money? Didn't your lord say yesterday that it doesn't cost much to buy land, just make sense. I bought nearly a thousand Five hundred acres, and the rest is only two thousand acres, which is only 1000 taels of silver. Well? If someone else finds out, they might even rob you."

"Who would have the guts to rob me? This 1 taels shouldn't be much, right? Yesterday you only rented that lake for 50 years and used 5000 taels... Besides, why should I grind?"

The other three people at the dinner table sighed at the same time, it is good to have money!
Fifth Grandma hated iron for being weak and said: "...If you don't need so much silver, you can buy other things by saving it. 200 taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live for a lifetime..."

Xu Runxin muttered, "I'm not short of money..."

Grandma Fifth also had nothing to say, Liang Yimei smiled and said: "Don't you think it's good to bargain? You can save some money by fighting with people once, and the money saved is donated to the street. Beggars on the Internet will also have a sense of accomplishment, not to mention that you can invest the money you save... What we want is not the result, but the process of enjoying. Moreover, you can also exercise in the process of bargaining own eloquence."

Bah, Liang Yimei secretly despises herself in her heart, haggling the price without paying attention to the result, who would do it?
Xu Runxin thought about it carefully, and it was really the case.

Liang Yimei never imagined that because of her words, Xu Runxin would like to bargain no matter what he did in the future, making those old fritters in the business world scold him every time they saw him: the people cultivated by the old fox are more foxes than him, and they are still A stingy fox, he also fights for petty profits, and what's even worse is that he has won a lot for his own use, but gives it to those poor ghosts.

Poor Master Yan has been blamed for this.

After they finished their meal, Fifth Grandpa accompanied them to the county government office. Liang Yilin was not there, and Fifth Grandpa was the representative of the Liang family.

Xu Runxin expressed his willingness to buy land to Shang county magistrate, and Shang county magistrate readily agreed. The notice was still being copied, and it was already noon when it was posted. By then, everything had settled, and the Wu family It was too late to act.

The magistrate Shang offered 1000 taels of silver without looking up, but to his surprise, Xu Runxin actually bargained with him!
According to the experience taught by Liang Yimei on the road, if you want to bargain, you have to look for its shortcomings. Although he has never seen the land, Liang Yimei has, and he is also smart. The saving grace, even Liang Yimei couldn't help but wonder, is that land really that bad?

Because it was too shocking, Shang County Magistrate couldn't recover for a while, Xu Runxin cut the price down to 500 taels, and Shang County Magistrate miraculously agreed.

Liang Yimei was on the sidelines wanting to cry, but the land she bought was nearly 500 acres smaller than his, and the land that had never been cultivated was [-] taels. His land had been planted for more than [-] years anyway.

When Xu Runxin came out of the county office, he kept muttering: "It's expensive, it's expensive."

Liang Yimei staggered, gritted her teeth secretly, "You bastard!"

Xu Runxin's servant was guarding the door just now, and naturally heard his young master's bargaining, and now he is looking at him with incredible eyes.

The master led people to go with them to the west of the city, because Liang Yimei reported that she wanted to buy this piece of wasteland more than a month ago. The master had sent someone to measure it in advance. It was measured soon, and it was just over [-] mu. The master bookkeeper knew that they had friendship with the county magistrate, so he immediately removed them and sold them at the negotiated price.

The rest of Xu Runxin is a bit troublesome. This is the old land, but it also includes a new land that has never been cultivated, which Liang Yimei cannot buy. The old land has also undergone some changes, so it needs to be measured again. Weeds as tall as a person have a feeling of "a heavy responsibilities and a long way to go".

Xu Runxin's servant was also clever, and when he saw this, he immediately said that the young master reserved a seat at the delicious restaurant to reward everyone.After the workers heard this, the trace of dissatisfaction in their hearts dissipated immediately, and it was a very honorable thing to be treated by the young master of the Xu family.
