Chapter 7 Beginning of Autumn
The beginning of autumn in August.
The steward Ye Xiu was decisive and popular. In order to avoid rumors of the transaction, he appointed six people to go to the city at the same time to discuss Zhuangzi matters. He went to the Xieyang prefecture in person and first handed over 500 taels of votes to the Xieyang City magistrate.
Then he presented another three thousand taels of silver notes and got back the title deed to Guiwu Mountain.
After handing over the land deed and chatting with Cao Tong, the appointed people came back one after another, and it was exactly as he expected. The six villagers, including their own houses and land, all signed the contract and fingerprinted it.
Cao Tongpan looked at him well, so he invited the master to copy the deed together without any further questions.
Ye Xiu looked at the six deeds and smiled knowingly. It was as expected. Almost all of the six Zhuangzi sold them for sale. The Zhuangzi with the poorest water source even only used three hundred taels.
"Why would Mr. Ye want to buy Guiwu Mountain?" Cao Tongzhi offered tea as a treat.
Although the Ye family is not in the city, they still have a large house outside the city. Who in the entire Kyushu Island does not know his skills in raising carps? Isn’t it enough that royal nobles from all over the world come to ask for it? This time I am willing to spend 6,000 taels of silver to buy it.
It is unexpected that Xiaxieyang City is the most barren part of the city. Is it possible that there are still few people who dominate the area?
What was surprising was not just that, the name of the land deed belonged to an unknown girl. If Mr. Ye hadn't come in person, he would have thought that Xiao Xiao dared to trick him into entering the government.
"Ye is indebted to Mr. Tongzhi for your kindness." Ye Xiu stood up and returned the gift with his hands, his face full of shame. "My mother had a daughter when she was old, and my sister-in-law took her mother's surname. The little girl passed through Xieyang City on her way home.
Wu Shan said he liked it and refused to leave. After a few days of quarrels, he wanted to buy it no matter what. My mother couldn't resist her, so she could only keep her and the money. Naturally, the matter fell on my shoulders. "
Ye Xiu took out another eight hundred taels of silver notes and placed them on the table in the brocade box that he originally handed to Cao Tongzhi.
"What is this?" Although many people were not surprised by the large number of banknotes, Cao Tongzhi was still frightened.
"My mother told Ye to buy the remaining banknotes from Zhuangzi. The remaining banknotes cannot be brought back to Zhuangzi." Ye Xiu bowed his hands again and saluted. "I have to entrust it to the care of Master Tongzhi."
Ye Xiu understood that it was not that Yan Juan didn't care about the banknotes, but that she wanted the banknotes to be used to their fullest potential.
When Yan Juan handed him the banknote this morning, she finally had an interesting look of negative emotions on her face. Although she promised that she would be able to solve the problem within another six thousand taels, she just waved her hand in pain, indicating that he should stop.
He brought these banknotes back and told him that "the little devil is difficult to deal with".
After understanding this, Ye Xiu bowed respectfully and understood how the young master dared to hand over 20,000 taels to Yan Jue in one breath.
Imps are indeed difficult to deal with, especially those in the government. It is indeed good to use the money saved to manage the master and yamen.
"Master Ye, that's very polite." Cao Tongzhi twirled his goatee.
"No! No! No!" Ye Xiu replied respectfully. "My mother knows that this time I am in trouble for Master Tongzhi. These sellers must know that my sister-in-law has taken over all the villages near Guiwu Mountain in one go, and they are determined to trouble Master Tongzhi.
There are many places to trouble Mr. Tongzhi."
"My mother needs to worry about such a trivial matter. Cao must do her best." Cao Tongzhi smiled knowingly and took out a stack of banknotes from the brocade box. "Master Hu, call everyone."
The state officials are elected every three years. Who doesn't want to take good care of the land lords inside and outside the government office? Since he was favored by Yan Ju, he naturally did not forget to worship the tree head.
"Ye thanked Mr. Tongzhi on behalf of his sister-in-law." Ye Xiu felt more at ease when he saw Cao Tongzhi being so open.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the government officials arrived outside the hall.
Cao Tongzhi brought a stack of banknotes and handed them to the leader, Mr. Hu. "Everyone has seen it! Miss Yan bought Guiwu Mountain today. I hope you all can live happily together. What can you do for Guiwu Mountain in the future?"
How about I help you so I won’t be left behind?”
Master Hu's hands were shaking after counting the banknotes. These were one thousand taels! He quietly gave a few colors, and everyone was so surprised that they were elated and cheered.
"Sure! When it comes to returning to Wushan, my brother must put it first."
"OK, no problem!"
"Ye thanked you all." Ye Xiu was extremely satisfied when he saw these promises coming one after another!
Sure enough, the king of hell and the little ghost must have fun together, and what Yan Juan said finally came true.
...
Autumn is starting to come, and the afternoon is slightly cooler
Yan Juan leaned in the hexagonal spire pavilion on the curved bridge across the courtyard, feeding the plump Taisho three-color koi in the lotus pond. According to Guyu, every plant and plant here was planned by Uncle Ye, even the pond.
The big and fat koi were all bred by Uncle Ye himself, including the fish she had in her hand, which were specially prepared by Uncle Ye to increase the body color of the koi.
Guyu also said arrogantly that there are only five experts in the four countries who can breed Taisho three-color koi until they are fat and bright. Uncle Ye usually just entertains himself. As long as a nobleman builds an ornamental pond in his house,
He didn't bring a thousand taels of silver to ask for the koi carp and the special fish heir, Ye Xiu, but he still looked down upon her.
Not to mention that Uncle Ye also collected a dozen plum-blossom-red-crested koi and gold-and-silver scale koi. Don’t even think about it without a thousand pieces of gold.
That's right! In Yan Juan's eyes, these koi carps are just free money! She is worried that the fish will be fed too much and the fish will crowd in and scratch the scales, which is very distressing!
Yan Juan heard the faint voice coming from the distance, stood up and looked back at the people who were walking in a long way. A woman was wearing an unembroidered light green half-arm-collared skirt. She had two flowers on her buns.
The delicate hairpin with stamens is just a maid's pretense, but the majesty in her eyes puts enough pressure. The little maid behind her who is also pretentious has a sweet smile from the moment their eyes meet. This is the perfect conflict between ice and fire.
! And Uncle Ye followed at the end holding the brocade box respectfully...
What kind of battle is this?
So Yan Jue fully demonstrated the behavior that a six-year-old child should have. She jumped off the bench and hid behind Gu Yu, revealing only one pair of eyes to peek at the visitor, while Gu Yu was frightened by the visitor in front of her.
"..."
Everyone was choked to death by what she wanted to say when she tried to avoid it.
"Girl?" Ye Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly. Was he just trying to show off now?
Yan Juan opened half of her head with harmless eyes. "Huh?"
"..." This can be performed!
"Girl, do you want to hear the status of today's acquisition from Xiao Bao first, or do you want to introduce the two people who will serve you first?" Uncle Ye's eyes indicated: It won't look good if you keep pretending!
Li Qiu felt that Kuzhang's majesty was about to be shattered. If she hadn't heard the young master and Ye Xiu report her deeds, she would have been coaxed away by these innocent people.
She had taken advantage of the solar terms. It was so bad that my wife was leaving at the beginning of spring. The young master said that she should follow the solar terms, so she had to come to the village before the beginning of autumn. She regretted it for a long time at the beginning of spring.
She spread throughout the 24 solar terms, and everyone wanted to meet this six-year-old kid who could dig tunnels.
Seeing that Uncle Ye had taken advantage of him, Yan Juan let go of Gu Yu's clothes. Seeing that Gu Yu was still in a daze, she tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong with brother Gu Yu?"
Guyu was called back to his senses, and his expression changed from stunned to surprised. The next second he grabbed Liqiu's sleeve, touched his cheek like a worshiper, and let go, jumping in the pavilion with joy.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! I can actually see Sister Qiu..."
"..."
Just now, everyone's eyes told her not to hold on, but now they are telling her that everyone around her is showing off? Yan Juan couldn't help but twitching on her face when she saw that the usually reserved and polite boy suddenly changed his attitude.
Yan Juan decided to ignore him and couldn't kick him into the lotus pond. The carps in the pond were innocent.
No! That's not a carp! That's golden gold!
"Uncle Ye, let's get down to business! What is this?" Yan Juan's bright eyes tried to convey that she was harmless.
Ye Xiu didn't doubt that she knew the value of the whole pond of koi, and couldn't hide his smile. "The young master said that if there is a chance, the girl would like to meet Li Chun Xia Qiu Dong. The young master said that he would let Aunt Li Qiu and Bai Lu come over first during the beginning of autumn.
"
puff......
Yan Juan was about to enjoy the herbal tea, but now she was in a panic. Li Qiu helped her for a long time. After taking a breather, she bit her lip with tears in her eyes and asked. "Brother Yan said that you will be unlucky when you meet a few of them, Yan Juan."
Is my son going to be in trouble too?"
Ye Xiu "..."
Guyu "..."
Bai Lu "......"
"Girls are not unlucky, it is the beginning of autumn that is a blessing!" The beginning of autumn couldn't help but laugh. Yan Juan was right. Pei Yan was still facing the wall of the waterfall cave at the top of Jile Mountain!
Madam originally wanted to forgive Pei Yan for going down the mountain privately for the sake of Yan Jue, but she didn't know that there was no one on the way. Madam was punished by the sect master and didn't stop him. He couldn't die anyway, so she just let him be imprisoned to the top of the mountain. This light skill was gone.
If he reaches another level, he won't be able to get out.
Chapter completed!
