Several people looked around, but couldn't find a place to rest for a while. Occasionally there were stalls with tables and chairs to buy food, but they were always overcrowded and there were no empty seats.

Seeing that the little girls were too tired to walk, Maisui suggested, "Why don't we walk back? We've been shopping for so long, it's time to go back."

Ji'er and Xiaocao couldn't help but hum after hearing this. They were so tired that they wished they could grow wings and fly back. They still had the strength to go forward.

Even Guo'er couldn't help but want to sit down in a corner and stop moving.

"I saw my aunt and my sister!"

Wu Lin's cheerful voice suddenly sounded behind them. When several people looked back, they saw Yao Sanzhu and Bao Shi walking towards them holding Wu Lin's hands.

"Have you checked out this place? We just came back from a round of shopping. We are so exhausted that we can't even find a place to rest. How about we go back together?"

As soon as Mr. Bao walked in, he said to Maisui.

Maisui nodded: "Third brother, third sister-in-law, the children are tired, so let's go back. Where are eldest brother, second brother and the others?"

Yao Sanzhu: "We met just now. We just separated from the second brother and his family. Let's go back to our place first."

Several people were discussing to go back, when a young man dressed as a servant approached Guo'er unintentionally and whispered beside her:

"Miss Guo'er, my young master has booked a private room for the girl in the restaurant in front. If the girl is tired, she can take her family to rest."

Guo'er was confused. She took a closer look at the boy to make sure she had never seen him before.

But before she could say anything, the boy pointed in a direction above his head and motioned for Guoer to look over.

Guoer looked up and saw that the windows of the private rooms facing the street on the second and third floors of Ruyi Building in front were all open. The people inside were leaning comfortably in front of the windows, leisurely looking at the bright lights outside the windows. One of the windows was silent.

Who is the tall standing figure if it's not silent?

Guo'er took a breath, shook her head instinctively and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir, we won't bother you."

The young man said: "No need to refuse, mother. My young master has something to do and is about to leave. This private room is also free."

When they were talking, Yao Sanzhu and Mr. Bao naturally noticed it. Yao Sanzhu strode over to him. Before he could speak, the boy bowed and said:

"The younger one is a servant of County Magistrate Shen. Just now, my lady booked a private room in Ruyi Building. I asked Miss Guoer and her family to go upstairs to rest."

As soon as Guoer heard that the boy changed his story, he unconsciously glanced at the window above. No one could be seen there. He knew that someone had no intention of meeting them, so he pulled his cousin Shen Yingying out as a cover.

Is this considered a reward for working?

So Guo'er stepped forward and said: "In that case, then thank your lady for me. I didn't know that your lady was returning to her parents' home from Fucheng, and she was also admiring the lanterns in Ruyi Tower?"

The boy said: "Yes, our young lady left temporarily. I just saw Miss Guo'er and asked the younger one to invite Miss Guo'er to go upstairs to rest."

When everyone heard what the boy said, they were overjoyed. They finally had a place to rest. Zao'er quietly tugged on Guo'er's sleeves from behind.

Guoer: "I see, then please ask me to lead the way."

Several people followed the boy all the way to Ruyi Building without any obstruction, and went directly to a private room on the third floor.

After entering, I saw that various tea snacks and fruits had been placed on the table in the middle, and there was a soft table by the window with thick soft pillows on it.

The group of people walked in and immediately lay down on the chairs and did not want to move. The two children, Wu Lin and Xiao Cao, climbed onto the soft floor and lay down flat on their backs.

After resting for a while, Yao Sanzhu stood up and walked to the window:

"Ha! Come here quickly, it's so damn beautiful!"

When Wu Lin and Xiao Cao heard this, they immediately became energetic again. They climbed up from the soft couch and went to the window to look outside. The two children suddenly shouted "Wow", which attracted others to stand up and go over to watch the fun.

Guo'er didn't have to go there to know what they saw. She had seen a lot of scenes in her previous life, and now she just wanted to lie down on the table and have a good rest.

The people at the window shouted and watched for a long time. After they were satisfied, they sat back at the table and started eating and drinking in front of the tea and fruit snacks on the table.

After Guo'er had rested enough, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea to drink. Only Zao'er and Maisui were left standing at the window, looking out.

Guoer stood up and walked over to stand next to the two of them and looked around.

You can have a panoramic view of the bright night view of Laiyang City. The long street downstairs is like stars, spreading all the way to further places, like a giant dragon swimming, it is so beautiful.

This is the advantage of standing high and looking far away. After walking around for such a long time and doing such a thrilling thing, I feel refreshed now. Standing here, I don’t have to squeeze in the street.

Being able to see such a beautiful night scene made it worthwhile for her to play a game for someone.

Looking at the star-studded long street below, twinkling everywhere like a giant glowing dragon, Guoer couldn't help but think of the famous Song Dynasty poem:

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night,

It blows down even more, and the stars are like rain.

BMW's carved car fills the road with fragrance.

The phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot turns light,

A night of fish and dragon dance.

Thinking of this poem, Guo'er couldn't help but moan out loud. The writing style of the ancients is really beautiful.

"What dance? Guo'er, what you just read was really nice. Is it a poem?"

Zao'er heard her mumbling words nearby and couldn't help but asked curiously.

Guoer smiled: "It's a poem that describes the scene of enjoying lanterns during the Lantern Festival. I read it in a book."

This poem also has a second sentence, and Guoer's favorite is the line in it: "The crowd has searched for him a thousand times, but suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dimly lit place."

Very artistic, isn’t it?

A tall figure of someone suddenly flashed into Guo'er's mind, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times.

Zao'er looked at Guo'er with admiring eyes. Her cousin is really amazing. She usually loves to read, but now she understands everything. It's really amazing.

It was late at night, and the streets were still crowded with people and bright lights. Although the children were eager to play, they could not stay up late, so after everyone had rested, the group headed back home.

When we returned to the shop, no one else had come back yet.

After shopping all night, everyone was too tired to talk, so Mrs. Bao asked Yao Sanzhu to stay in the shop and wait for the others to come back. She and Maisui went back to the backyard to put the children to bed first.

Several little girls crowded into Guo'er's room and soon fell asleep.

The next day, no one got up until three o'clock in the morning. I asked them not long after they went to bed last night, other people came back one after another. As soon as they gathered together, the brothers took the children and drove the carriage back to Yandian Street. At this moment

Haven't come yet.

Mrs. Bao, Mrs. He, and Mrs. Liu were packing up the scattered things everyone bought last night, as well as the Yuanxiao and snacks that they brought home for the old couple.

This time everyone went out to watch the lantern festival, and only the old couple, Yueniang and her son, and Old Man Li's grandson were left at home. Although the family had prepared Lantern Festivals in advance, they still had to buy some and take them back to honor the elderly.

At noon, several carriages from the Yao family came over. Because they were thinking about the elderly at home, everyone did not delay long and quickly got on the carriage and headed back.

Mrs. Bao, mother and son stood at the door and watched everyone go away, and then they returned to the shop feeling relaxed.

After closing the door, Guo'er lay back on the kang again, recalling everything last night, and then she felt completely relaxed, and it was finally over.

In Shangyao Village, Zhang Ya came to visit us again shortly after the New Year. He came here specially to report that a family in a nearby village wanted to sell their land.

When he bought a shop last time, Yao Erzhu specifically told the Zhangya people that if there was good land for sale near Shangyao Village in the future, they would be notified. Therefore, as soon as the Zhangya people had suitable land for sale, they would immediately sell it.

Just came to the door.

Now Yao Erzhu is in charge of most of the family's business, and a large amount of his father's money is also placed with him to facilitate business arrangements. So when Zhang Yaren came to talk about this, Yao Erzhu immediately decided to go and have a look.

When buying land, you must call Father Yao, and Yao Tiezhu was also at home, so it was the father and son who followed Zhang Yaren out to check it out.

The land for sale belongs to the family of a squire named Liu from a neighboring village. It is good land, with more than 30 acres of land. Moreover, this squire is building a new house at Yao's house, and it seems that he even came to deliver it when the beams were installed.

Congratulations.

When Liu Xiangshen saw that the people Zhang Ya had brought to look at the land were actually Yao and his son, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them personally and followed them down to the land to look around.

There is basically no difference in the quality of the fertile farmland in this area. Apart from looking at the distance of the water source and determining the specific area, there is nothing else.

Father Yao was unusually concerned about buying land, and brothers Yao Tiezhu and Yao Sanzhu were also extremely involved. After looking around, the father and son immediately decided to buy it.

But just when they nodded and were about to buy it, something went wrong.

"What, six taels and six cents of silver?"

The three of them were surprised and thought they heard wrongly.

Originally, the price of land in this area was only 5 or 6 taels of silver per acre, but the land owned by Liu Xiangshen's family was so much higher. The father and son were all surprised.

Liu Xiangshen chuckled: "Yes, six taels of silver per acre! Mr. Yao, we fellow villagers don't have to bargain. Yesterday, some fellow villagers from the neighboring village came to see the land. The price I offered was higher than what I gave you.

I still need to pay a little more.

You have already taken a look around. My land is good farmland. Because it was far from the river, we dug a well at the edge of the land.

You always tell me, there are not many wells in the fields, right? If you have a well, you can water it anytime. Besides, your Yao family is very wealthy now, so you still care about this small amount of money, six or two and six cents of silver. I really don’t ask for much, and the number is too small.

Isn’t it auspicious?”

Liu Xiangshen smiled warmly, as if the price couldn't be more fair. After hearing this, the faces of the father and son became even darker.

What do you mean by not caring about this small amount of money? Do you think their family is being taken advantage of? People are stupid and have too much money?

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Yaren hurriedly pulled Xiangshen Liu aside:

"Didn't we agree on six taels of silver at the beginning? Why did you suddenly change your mind? How can I tell others about this?"

Liu Xiangshen was still laughing, and winked at the toothy man indifferently, signaling him not to speak yet.

The reason why he wanted to sell this piece of land was not because he was eager to use money, but because he wanted to raise funds to exchange for a larger farmland. He was already optimistic about it. As long as he could get money from selling this piece of land, he would

You can buy that large piece of fertile land that you have your eye on elsewhere.

He had a plan in mind, so he was not in a hurry.

Upon seeing this, Yao Erzhu said: "Our family has not bought land once or twice in the past two years. We have never seen such a high land price. It seems that Mr. Liu's family is reluctant to sell this land. Well, our trip today is in vain.

.”

After saying that, Yao Sanzhu winked at Yao Lao and Yao Tiezhu, and the father and son turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ya and Liu Xiangshen hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and they stood on the ground and began to bargain.

However, after the two sides had been going back and forth for a long time, Mr. Liu was only willing to pay two cents of silver, saying that he had a well on his property and could not sell it at a lower price.
