Chapter 72: Long nights and many dreams, she wants to take action

"Going to meet a friend." Gu Xiyan said and looked at Qiushi.

Qiushi understood and handed a small bag of broken silver to the concierge: "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

The porter weighed the money bag and felt that the eldest girl was a generous spender. The eldest girl's intention was obviously to shut him up.

"Girl, please pay attention to your safety when you go out." The concierge became more respectful to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded, then left the Hou Mansion through the corner gate.

She wore a curtain hat and walked for about half a quarter of an hour to the house at No. 14 Tianhe Street. After making sure that no one was paying attention to her actions, she knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Su Mei, and the person behind her was Rong Song, who was standing still.

Su Mei had not told Rong Song that the distinguished guest today was a woman. When Gu Xiyan appeared and took off her hat, Rong Song was a little surprised: "This friend of yours is actually a beautiful lady."

Moreover, she is a boudoir girl who is as beautiful as a fairy. Judging from her behavior, she is noble and elegant in everything. She should be a noblewoman from a famous family.

"I am Gu Xiyan, the eldest daughter of Wanqinghou Mansion. Fourth Master Rong, nice to meet you!" Gu Xiyan looked Rong Song up and down.

Her initial impression of Rong Song in her previous life was that of decadence, laziness, and unconcealable hostility. But the man in front of her was carefree, but his features were clear, and he had his own romantic demeanor.

Rong Song had heard of Gu Xiyan's name a long time ago. Like everyone else, he used to think that she was just another down-and-out noble girl who was despised by men. But now when he saw Gu Xiyan's confident and majestic appearance, he knew that he was too much.

Shallow.

He understood that Gu Xiyan already knew his identity, and did not bother to introduce himself, so he went straight to the topic: "Why did Miss Gu want to buy the land in the southern suburbs? That land has been abandoned for many years, with no grass growing. Even if it is to build a racecourse, it may not be realistic.

As far as I know, that piece of land is so evil that even the animals can’t be fed, so Miss Gu is not afraid of building a racecourse and raising the horses to death.”

This possibility is very high, that piece of land in the southern suburbs is indeed evil.

"Don't worry, I'm just worried that the price can't be kept down." Gu Xiyan said firmly.

She knew that there would be six consecutive days of heavy rain in October this year, that is, heavy rain for several days and nights, flooding the wasteland and soaking it for a full month.

It was this month that completely changed the barren nature of the land on the outskirts of the city.

In his previous life, the land was bought by Su Ho at a high price of five taels (approximately 5,000 yuan) per acre, but later Su Ho made a lot of money from this land.

"By the way, I heard Su Ho mention this land to my father yesterday. She is also interested in this land and wants to raise money to buy it." Su Mei suddenly reminded.

"Let me guess, your father must think that buying this land is not cost-effective and has no intention of doing so, right?" Gu Xiyan guessed.

In the previous life, Soho bought this land before the Chinese New Year this year. Unexpectedly, Soho had already set his sights on this land at this time.

"Yes, when my father heard that it was the land in the southern suburbs, he didn't want to talk to Su Ho anymore. Don't worry, she won't compete with us for this land." Su Mei felt happy when she thought of Su Ho's expression at that time.

"That's not necessarily true. If she sets her sights on this land now, she will definitely find a way to raise money. Now her biggest backer is not your father, but Zhou Xing!" Speaking of this, Gu Xiyan made a decision. : "We'd better buy this land today to avoid long nights and dreams. If we can't get it for three hundred coins, we can raise the price appropriately."

It's just that she has a lot of things to do, so she has to save some money, otherwise she doesn't have to lower the price so hard.

At this time, Qiushi took out three sets of men's robes that Gu Xiyan had prepared, took a set of scholar's clothes for herself, and handed the other two sets to Su Mei and Gu Xiyan respectively.

Rong Songchu was watching the fun from the side. He saw several sets of men's clothes made of coarse cloth, and was a little surprised: "Why are they clothes of coarse cloth?"

And these sets of clothes look old.

"Since we are lowering the price, of course we want to make us look poorer. This should be Fourth Master Rong's strength. The bargaining will be left to Fourth Master Rong." Gu Xiyan said, pulling Su Mei to go west first. Change clothes and put on makeup in the wing.

Rong Song burst into laughter, suddenly feeling that he had not thought as deeply as a woman.

Since they wanted to lower the price, of course they had to have some means. Gu Xiyan had even thought of these details.

He waited for half an hour before he saw Gu Xiyan and Su Mei coming out.

When the two of them were dressed like this, Rong Song stared at him and said, "How wonderful!"

Su Mei looked at Gu Xiyan and saw that the beautiful girl had turned into a thin scholar.

Gu Xiyan's eyebrows became thicker, her skin turned yellow, and she didn't know what she put on her lips, but there was no blood at all. There were also some pockmarks on her yellow face, which looked very natural and could not be seen as painted on. .

The white middle coat she wore covered her throat, but her Adam's apple was slightly bulging because Gu Xiyan took some powder and stuck it to her collar.

At first glance, I just thought this person had an Adam's apple.

Even the exposed back of Gu Xiyan's hands turned yellow, and her ear holes were plugged with special powder.

What surprised her the most was that the clothes Gu Xiyan was wearing were scented with incense. The aroma was slightly strong and overshadowed the sandalwood smell that came with Gu Xiyan's body.

She sincerely admires Gu Xiyan's attentiveness!

Rong Song circled around Su Mei and Gu Xiyan twice, nodding repeatedly: "Apart from the fact that my eyebrows are a little shorter, there are no other problems."

Gu Xiyan's height is good, and she even behaves like a man, which shows that she has worked hard.

After Qiushi, the young boy, was also properly dressed, the three women got into the carriage.

Rong Song also changed into a shabby robe, and he was responsible for driving the carriage.

After that, the group of four headed to the southern suburbs.

After arriving in the southern suburbs, they successfully found the landlord. Gu Xiyan followed Rong Song and got off the carriage, while Su Mei and Qiushi stayed on the carriage.

The landowner's surname was Wang. The moment he saw Rong Song, he couldn't help but admire: "What a handsome young master!"

He looked at Gu Xiyan's sallow face again and felt that the young master's eyes were dull and his complexion was very poor. He was much worse than Rong Song.

"My surname is Rong, just call me Fourth Master Rong. This is the gentleman in charge of the accounting office next to me, whose surname is Yan." Rong Song was responsible for negotiating.

Gu Xiyan looked at the endless wasteland in front of her. Only when she went to the scene to inspect did she realize that this wasteland was indeed barren of grass and was extremely dry and cracked.

I heard that this piece of land was cursed and became like this. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is also burdened by rumors. Many people dare not buy it even if they have money, for fear of being cursed. No wonder this piece of land has not been sold over the years.<

/p>

Lao Wang secretly looked at the clothes of Gu Xiyan and Rong Song. When he saw how shabby they were, he shook his head in his heart and said that these people were very poor.

"I wonder what Fourth Master Rong is doing?" Lao Wang asked without any expectations.

Rong Song turned back and glanced at Gu Xiyan. Gu Xiyan was looking at the wasteland and did not look at him. Looking at her posture, she really wanted to leave the bargaining matter in his hands.

He coughed lightly and was about to explain his purpose.

I don't want Gu Xiyan to lower her voice and answer: "Fourth Master wants to buy this land. Because he is short of money, I would like to ask you if I can sell it for two hundred and ninety cents per acre."
