Li Dagui's name brought Wang out of her thoughts. She looked over with a calm expression and smiled lightly: "I was lost in thought for a moment."
Li Dagui bowed his head.
"Mr. Li, you can be considered an old man of our Qin family. Thanks to your family for guarding this old house and taking care of the eldest lady, you have worked hard these years."
Li Dagui bent slightly and said respectfully: "My eldest wife has broken the slaves. This is what slaves should do."
Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "You also know that today's Qin family is not the third-rank official family it used to be. The servants serving in the capital are sent out and those who should be dispersed are also dispersed. The so-called people go to higher places.
Mr. Li is in charge of you..."
Li Dagui quickly knelt down and said: "Madam, the servant family has been in the old house for many years and has served the eldest lady for many years. From the bottom of my heart, I regard the eldest lady as my master. No matter whether I am rich or poor, life or death, the servants will follow the eldest lady.
Serve her."
Wang raised his eyebrows.
Follow the eldest lady, not the Qin family.
While showing his loyalty, Li Dagui also made it clear who was the real master of their family.
Qin Liuxi has conquered Li Dagui's family. No wonder Aunt Li and the others also protect Qin Liuxi at all times and put her first in everything.
Mrs. Wang was not displeased. Qin Liuxi was able to conquer this family because of her ability. Others could rob her only because of her ability.
Wang glanced at the things in the yard and said, "Get up. Xi'er naturally knows that you are loyal, so she entrusts all these things to you."
Li Dagui smiled and got up from the ground.
"It's just that as the saying goes, you can only sit back and have nothing. Although Xi'er has this intention, our family, big and small, can't just count on her. Li Dagui, the old lady and I have discussed it and plan to buy a few acres of fertile land in your name.
, you can get a few percent of the grain by renting a tenant, and you don’t have to spend money to buy everything. Do you think there is something suitable?"
Li Dagui thought about it for a while and said: "Qihuang also mentioned this to the servant. The fertile fields near Li City are all owned by owners and will not be easily resold. And because they are close to Li City, so
The price is also expensive, you have to go to 11,221 acres."
Mrs. Wang was a little surprised that it was so expensive.
"On the other hand, the distance to Qinghe County next door is longer, but because there is a river flowing into the river, there are many fertile fields in that area. On average, it only costs 8 or 9 taels. If you go a little further, you can also buy 6 or 7 taels.
The whole small village of dozens of acres, with ponds, gardens and fertile fields, can be bought for a few hundred taels of silver." Li Dagui said carefully: "Even if you buy it, Qinghe County will not be as eye-catching as Licheng."
Wang's heart moved.
This means that if the Qin family buys a small village in someone else's name and is not stared at everywhere in Li City, it won't cause too much trouble.
"You are very thoughtful, so take a chance and go to Qinghe to see if any of the small businesses are interested. If so, the price is right, so I will buy it." Wang made up her mind immediately.
"Why."
Li Dagui agreed, hesitated for a while, and said, "Besides, there is one more thing."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Li Dagui replied: "You asked your servant to go and visit the Ding family in Bali Hutong. The concierge of the Ding family said that it was an unlucky thing. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the prefect in Ningzhou Prefecture said that he missed Mrs. Ding, so he sent the old lady to her.
My wife has taken her to Ningzhou Mansion for a short stay and a reunion, but I don’t know when she will return.”
When Wang heard this, she put down the tea she had picked up and curled her fingers slightly. This was not a coincidence, it was clearly an excuse.
