Chapter 286 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (37)
That night, Li Yuanjin placed his men at the homes of Chen Mancang, Shi Feng and others.
Seeing him leaving with a bag containing a change of clothes, Xu Yin thought he would never come back, so she bolted the courtyard door as soon as it got dark. However, she saw him holding the courtyard wall with both hands and easily climbed over the wall and came in.
"..." Xu Yin almost laughed angrily, "If there is a door, you still climb over the wall!"
"You won't have to wake up the third sister."
"..." Is this guy still reasonable?
After entering the house and seeing what he was wearing, I realized that he had gone to Dongshan'ao hot springs.
"Why does my wife look at me like this? Is it because I went to take a bath and didn't ask my wife to come with me? Or does my wife think I'm handsome and can't take my eyes away?"
"..."
She dared to say that in the small world she had traveled through before, all the "hes" put together were not as thick-skinned as this one.
During dinner, Li Yuanjin learned from his third sister that Erlang had become a disciple of a down-and-out scholar from the next town. There were many people at that time, so he didn't ask much. At this moment, he walked over to Xu Yin and said, "Sorry for bothering me, Madam!"
Big brother, I didn’t think of sending my younger brother to study.”
Xu Yin looked at him with a smile: "Don't worry, it's the silver you deposited with me."
Li Yuanjin laughed: "If you give it to the lady, it belongs to the lady. You can spend it however you want."
Xu Yin pondered: "What if I use it to buy land and hills?"
"Which land and which mountain? I'll help you take a look while I take a bath."
"This is the mountain in front of you."
Xu Yin had already had this idea.
This mountain may not look like a small Chai Mountain, but it is connected to the mountain with the bamboo forest behind it. It is quite large. There is also a hot spring in Dongshan Col. If it is developed properly, a hot spring resort may be built.
Since we are cultivating medicinal materials here, and medicinal materials such as ginseng are better as they age, we will definitely live here in the short term. In this case, it is better to buy the hilltop as soon as possible.
"But it doesn't matter what you want on this mountain. Why buy it?"
"After buying it, we will clear out the dead trees and bushes and plant tea."
There are natural hot springs,
The temperature is suitable, and currently there is plenty of rain. The soil is slightly acidic red soil, and none of the species is as favorable as tea trees.
Li Yuanjin saw that she had an idea in her mind, scratched her head and smiled naively: "Okay! Whatever the lady says, I will listen to the lady!"
Xu Yin looked at him with a playful and complicated look: "Aren't you afraid that I will give your bag of money to Huo Huoguang?"
"My wife's willingness to spend my money shows that she doesn't treat me as an outsider. I'm not happy enough."
"..." This fool!
Seeing that he supported his career so much, Xu Yin got up early the next day and cooked a sumptuous breakfast for him and his men.
Each person has a rice ball with egg and meat floss that can only be held with both hands, two tea eggs marinated all night, and a bowl of spicy soup.
Those who came to serve as soldiers were often from poor families, and wealthy families could be exempted from corvee service by paying a small sum of money.
So let alone enjoy it, I have never seen such a sumptuous breakfast.
All of them burst into tears.
Li Yuanjin kicked them: "Why don't you quickly take it and eat it! How long will it take for my wife to serve it!"
The soldiers finally came back to their senses, raised their sleeves to wipe the corners of their eyes, thanked Xu Yin, took it and ate it.
"Delicious!"
"It turns out that rice balls can be made so delicious! I have only ever eaten wild vegetable rice balls made by my mother! They were dry and tasteless at all!"
"This egg is different from the one I ate yesterday."
"What's different? It's fragrant and delicious! It's so delicious!"
Xu Yin smiled and said: "It's really different. Yesterday's was five-spice braised eggs, and today's is tea eggs. The ingredients used in cooking are different."
Li Yuanjin got tired of it and pulled her towards the kitchen: "Madam, you haven't eaten yet! Don't worry about them!"
"..." Are you so polite in front of soldiers?
"I'm still hungry too."
OK!
Xu Yin brought him his breakfast and rewarded him with a soft-boiled egg.
"Third sister likes soft-boiled eggs the most. I'll boil one for you to try."
Li Yuanjin said that he didn't like sweets because he was a man, but when he tasted it, it was so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue.
But he did not forget Xu Yin: "Madam, what about you? Don't you have one yourself?"
"I can cook it anytime I want. This is specially cooked for you, it's a double yolk egg."
"My wife, you are so kind to me! Don't worry, I will never let you down!"
"..." You have so many dramas!
After having a sumptuous breakfast, Li Yuanjin led his men and left Xingfu Village without looking back.
He took away the food prepared by Xu Yin for him, as well as the fish food formula.
Leave an order for bricks and tiles for the entire military camp.
Xu Yin waited for him to leave, then asked Chen Mancang about the procedures for buying Shantou.
"This is an ownerless mountain. If you want to buy it, just go to the Yamen to apply for a title deed. But why are you buying this mountain? If you want to chop wood, you can chop it now? What are you going to spend that money on buying it for?"
Xu Yin said it was useful.
She wanted to keep it a secret for the time being until she found the tea saplings of this dynasty.
"Uncle Mancang, the bamboo mountain behind is also ownerless, right?"
"I've been here for so long, but I haven't heard of an owner. If you really want to buy a mountain, Zhushan is better. Fortunately, there are bamboos. You can dig some bamboo shoots to eat all year round."
Xu Yin inquired about the procedures for buying the mountain, asked Chen Mancang to take care of the house, then put on men's clothes and went out with her third sister.
First, I went to the next town to see Erlang. I saw that everything was fine with him, but when I saw them, his eyes turned red and he said he missed home.
Xu Yin comforted him: "Your eldest brother came back two days ago. He was very happy to hear that you were studying with Master Wen. He even said that he would reward you with a piece of silver the next time he sees you."
Erlang's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard this: "Brother, did he really say that? But where did he get the money?"
"The military salary he saved! I couldn't bear to give it to him if I asked him to, but he insisted on leaving it to you, Erlang!"
Erlang beamed with joy: "Sister-in-law, tell me that I will study hard! When the time comes, I will take the exam and take you all to live in the capital!"
Xu Yin: "..."
I thought Erlang, you are a bit repaying a favor with a grudge.
After watching Erlang, Xu Yin rented a carriage in the next town and took her third sister straight to the county seat.
"Sister-in-law, where are we going?" Third sister opened the carriage curtain, quietly looked outside, and asked curiously, blinking her dark almond-shaped eyes.
"Are you happy to take you to the county town?"
Xu Yin pinched her cheeks that had finally puffed up a little, and she no longer looked like a skinny little black girl reading a book.
"Happy!"
It was almost dusk when we arrived at the county seat. Xu Yin found an inn to stay at, and went to the Yamen to apply for the land deed the next morning.
"Brother Hero!"
The yamen officer recognized her and said in surprise: "Brother, why are you in the city? Is there something wrong?"
They have all heard that the county magistrate will be promoted to another prefectural city to be the magistrate after the year. Most of this is due to Xu Yingxiong's contribution.
Xu Yin also just knew that the county magistrate was about to be promoted. She was glad that she came to buy the mountain now, in case the new county magistrate who was transferred a year later was not easy to get along with.
So, she made slight adjustments to her original plan: in addition to Chaishan and Zhushan, she also bought a large area of wasteland around it.
