Chapter 39 Bought their home
The old lady couldn't help Liu Yunxiang, so she didn't dare to care about what happened before.
"This matter is in the past. Now if you ignore the feedback, then don't worry about it."
Liu Yunxiang sneered: "These days, my three houses are all boiled with plain water. Seeing that the Hou Mansion is almost in trouble, the old lady still wants to help that family. Those who know are distant relatives, but those who don't know think he is your own son.
Woolen cloth!"
"Shut up!"
The old lady felt guilty after all, so she quickly changed the topic and put the pieces of cloth on the note.
"A baby has just been born in his family. As an elder, I should make two sets of clothes to bring good fortune to the baby. However, I am too old to see and can't even hold a needle, so I really can't do it. Since you have nothing to do, you can do it for me.
Get both."
Liu Yunxiang's face darkened. The old woman actually asked her to make clothes for Xie Zian and that woman's child. How could she be so insulting!
"How can you shirk such a small matter?" Seeing Liu Yunxiang not answering, the old lady frowned, "You eat and live in the Hou Mansion, but you are of no use at all?"
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "As the old saying goes, the elders can transfer their blessings to the younger generation by making clothes for the younger generation, and protect the younger generation from growing up safely. Rich families also have this idea. The main wife will make clothes for the children born by the side wife to show off.
The generosity of the mistress brings blessings to the children."
The old lady's eyes flashed, "There are these details, but you are thinking too much. You are just making two sets of clothes."
Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "I will do it."
Jin Yan looked at the pieces of cloth that Liu Yunxiang had brought back and was about to explode with anger: "That beast had a child with another woman outside and kept it from you, and asked you to make clothes for their child. This is not good."
It’s so bullying.”
Liu Yunxiang snorted, "They say it's to get my blessing."
"So shameless!"
Liu Yunxiang smiled and said: "Since they want blessings, I will give them blessings."
The next day, she went to the Hubu Yamen.
Xie Zian and the woman named Liniang lived in the western suburbs, which was a mountainous area. At the beginning of the dynasty, Taizu distributed rewards to ministers with meritorious services.
Later, after several ups and downs, some aristocratic families fell into decline and sold the mountain land in their hands, or committed crimes and confiscated it and returned it to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The area around where Xie Zian and the others live is deserted, so it probably doesn't have an owner yet.
She wanted to buy the land, but after checking, the Ministry of Revenue said that the land was owned by someone.
"Whose family is it?"
"The Governor's Mansion."
Liu Yunxiang was dumbfounded. The land actually belonged to Shangguan Xu, the governor of Dongchang. But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that although Shangguan Xu was an eunuch, he was favored by the emperor and could not only leave the palace to build a palace, but also control the government.
It doesn't matter if you give a piece of land as a reward.
In order to please Shangguan Xu, the court and local officials sent boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to the Governor's Mansion, so much that they piled up into a mountain. Naturally, they no longer cared about this piece of land and left it abandoned.
In the previous life, Xie Zian probably bought this land after Shangguan Xu was beheaded, and then turned it into Taoyuan.
Thinking of those ten miles of peach blossoms, Liu Yunxiang gritted her teeth secretly, she must destroy their home.
Just wanting to get this piece of land from Shangguan Xu would be as difficult as climbing to the sky. But if she starts with Yan Mu, it is possible.
But asking her to beg him made her feel aggrieved.
After thinking about it, she wrote a letter stating that she wanted the land in the western suburbs. She said nothing else and asked Zijin to send it to Lanyuan.
Unexpectedly, on the evening of the second day, Zijin placed a land deed in front of her.
Likewise, he didn't ask anything.
Two days later, Jinyan finished making some small clothes, and Liu Yunxiang asked her to take them to the east courtyard.
Later that day, the old lady went out in a carriage.
The next day, Liu Yunxiang took Jin Yan to the mountain. From a distance, he saw a dozen officials measuring the land.
When this amount arrived at Xie Zian's home, he blocked the officials from entering, while Liniang stood beside her with her child in her arms, a look of panic on her face.
"There is an owner of this land. They have sued you, saying that you occupied their land without any reason and built a house on it. This is illegal if you look closely." The official said, pushing Xie Zian away.
Xie Zian became anxious, "We have asked the surrounding villagers that they have no owner of this piece of land."
The official said impatiently: "They brought the land deed to us for inspection. It is written in black and white and has the official seal of the government. Is this wrong?"
"Then...whose family do you think it is? I will buy this land from him."
"I was told not to sell it."
"But our house is newly built, so you can't just kick us out, right?"
"Hey, you guys are still reasonable, why don't you go to the government hall to reason?"
Seeing Xie Zian push him aside, Liniang gritted her teeth and ran to the official with her child in her arms, "We built a house here, and this is our land. The government must also be reasonable and cannot bully the people."
The officer frowned, "Are you going to play rogue with us?"
"If you drive us away, we will have no place to live. We might as well run over and die here with our children in our arms!"
