The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 109 Seeing the Grange (2)
Qing Shu was very surprised, the pleadings were nothing more than the pleadings, why there was still a love letter, "Who are you handing it to?"

"Give one to the prefect of Chen in Jinyang City, and one to Jingzhong." Gu Qiang didn't specify who to hand to Jingzhong.Before the two little masters could gain a firm foothold, there were some things that he would continue to hide.If the two little masters don't have enough strength in the future and have a big secret, they will rot in their stomachs and be brought to the ground.

Qingshu realizes that she had a good time earlier, but after that, Gu Qiang will be busy.So she rubbed her nose, "You guys are writing, I'm going to practice female red." After finishing speaking, she left and went back to the room to hold the agricultural book and gnaw fiercely, without touching the needle and thread at all.

On the second day, Wu Tongtou was sent to Jinyang City, and Gu Qiang went to the yamen of Kangxi Town to deliver the pleadings, and then went to other places to buy things needed to worship the general.As for Qingshu, she took Qingyang with her, and followed the people from the tooth dealer to see the house.

One house is a three-entry yard, which was built four years ago and covers an area of ​​about three acres.In the local area, it is the most exquisite house and the best view in the courtyard.There used to be a wealthy businessman who lived here. Two months ago, the wealthy businessman moved his family to the south, and the yard was handed over to Yaren for sale.The price is 750 taels of silver.

The other house is also a three-entry yard, built three and a half years ago, covering an area of ​​about three and a half acres.Feng Yaren said that although the appearance of the houses in this courtyard is not as exquisite as the one seen before, although the scenery in the courtyard is not as beautiful as the one seen before, both the courtyard walls and houses are made of The top-quality blue bricks and the wood used to build the houses are also the best in the area.

Here, Mr. Zhang, a businessman, used to live here. Later, the youngest son of the family was admitted to Juren, and Mr. Juren was appreciated by nobles. He found a job in Hu County and moved his family to Hu County. This yard was handed over to them. Yaren sells it for 650 taels of silver.

Qingshu looked back and forth, not even missing the servant's room.Then ask, "Is there anything else?"

Feng Yaren thought for a while, with a troubled expression on his face, "To tell you the truth, Miss Gu, there is another house in the town, two entrances, the place is not as big as these two, not to mention, it has been idle for many years, it is a bit dilapidated, no one dares to buy it."

Qing Shu couldn't help asking curiously: "Why doesn't anyone dare to buy it?"

Feng Yaren smiled wryly, "To tell the truth, Miss, that yard was originally lived by a failed scholar seven or eight years ago. One night, more than ten members of the scholar's family were poisoned to death at home by the adopted Yizi. Although the government solved the case , but no one dared to live in that yard, not even Master Xiucai’s elder brother, saying it was haunted. No one bought this house for many years, and it was rented out twice, but the tenants moved out within a month When I came out, I was determined not to rent it again. No, just let it sit unoccupied, the house is getting more and more dilapidated, no matter how cheap the price is, no one is willing to take it. If the young lady is not afraid, I can attract the young lady to take a look. "

Regardless of whether it is a real haunted house or not, Qing Shu gave up the idea of ​​taking a look at it when he heard that someone had died.No matter how cheap it is to sell, she will not do such things as living in a place that makes everyone feel uneasy.So she said, "These two houses are a bit more expensive. Let's leave it at that for today. If you hear that there is a suitable house for sale, even if it is owned by another dentist, you can go to the inn and let me know. It will benefit you. "

Feng Yaren agreed, locked the courtyard door, and respectfully sent Qingshu siblings away in a carriage, thinking in his heart: It seems that although this young lady is young, she is not easy to fool.He originally thought that the young lady from the capital must find it cheap when she heard 750 taels of silver, so she bought it immediately.

Everything in the capital is expensive. The same house that sells for 500 taels of silver here will surely sell for 1000 taels of silver or even more in the capital.He has heard people say that the price of a house in the capital depends not only on the size and refinement of the house, but also on which area it is located in.Fugui District is the most, followed by Jixian Lane and Jicai Lane.

However, he wasn't worried either. Looking at the entire Kangxi Town, among the houses that were being sold, these two were the only ones in his hands that were the best.Those who come from Beijing must be picky and picky. They are very particular about the exquisiteness of the house. They must choose between these two houses, and they cannot escape.It's just that Feng Yaren was too early to feel relieved, and he probably made a mistake.

It is not necessary for Qingshu to buy a house in the town. If there is a suitable farm or something like that, he will have both the land and the house to live in.It's just that it's hard to touch those who sell farms, and besides, it's not the case that they always live in the inn, so Qing Shu plans to buy a house to live in first, and things like fields will be done slowly.She believed that by the beginning of next spring, some fields would be able to be bought around.

Coincidentally, a man named Cheng came to find him the next day.It turned out that Bai Qingfeng, the master of the Bai family in Kangxi Town, had an only son Bai Da who was not successful.This Bai Da is 21 years old this year, and already has one wife and two concubines, but neither of them has any income.Now, this Baida is clamoring to donate to an official and become an official master.Bai Qingfeng was just such a son, who was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and basically gave him whatever he wanted.Donating to an official is not something that can be done with a few hundred taels of silver. Without tens of thousands of taels of silver, how can it be done!

Bai Qingfeng thought, it would be good to donate an official to his idle son. Anyway, there is a clan brother who comes to Fengzhou to be an official. When the time comes, this clan brother will help him. Brother takes care of it, and there will be no mistakes.Having made up his mind, he first appeased his son, and then began to collect money.

The income from several shops, plus the approximate income from the farm after the autumn harvest, the money he had saved over the years, he was abacusing in the middle of the night, shaking his head, it was not enough.He thought about where he could get a large sum of money, so he contemplated for a few days, but unexpectedly his son became violent again, and Mrs. Bai kept chasing him to get more money.

Bai Qingfeng considered that it would not be cost-effective to sell the shop, so he decided to sell an 83-acre farm.In this farm, there are [-] mu of high-grade field, [-] mu of middle-grade field, and [-] mu of low-grade field. The remaining three acres, the small house occupies two acres, and the barn, chicken coop, and pig house occupy one mu. .

The market price of the fields in Kangxi Town is that the top-grade field is about 20 taels per mu, the middle-grade field is between 15 and 11 taels per mu, and the low-grade field is between 500 and [-] taels per mu.Master Bai asked for a price of [-] taels, and the entire farm was sold.The news was released for seven days, but no one inquired about it, and no one who was interested came to the door.

There are no more than ten wealthy households in Kangxi Town, and two more have moved out this year. The rest are either unable to buy, or think the price is too high, and the government does not have to buy farms.Even the Yaman who took over the job in De County didn't believe it.

Bai Qingfeng was very worried, Cheng Yaren came to tell him that a family named Gu who moved from the capital in the town was inquiring about buying a house, maybe they were also interested in the farm.Bai Qingfeng's heart moved when he heard this, so he asked Cheng Yaren to come and make peace with him in the middle.He was anxiously waiting to use the money.

He was new to the Gu Mansion, so he didn't know the news, but when Cheng Yaren came to tell him, Gu Qiang was very moved, so he immediately told Qing Shu about it.
