Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

The middle man was really active and never stopped talking.

He kept talking and introduced Gu Yunxi to the first courtyard house on Zhuangzi.

Gu Yunxi always had a faint smile on his face. Following his explanation, he looked at the wings inside the house and then outside.

The house is a standard courtyard. In addition to the main house, there are also east and west wing rooms and a kitchen.

Gu Yunxi looked at it and felt that it seemed to be somewhat similar to the Lu family's house in Xijiang Village, and he couldn't help but feel a little more cordial.

After you finish looking at the house, go out and look at the fields outside.

The fields outside are not flat except for the slopes, but the other fields are very flat. Looking around, Zhuangzi's fields stretch all the way to the foot of the mountain in the distance.

The middle-aged man pointed and said: "Mrs. Lu, except for the mountains over there, the more than 200 acres of fields and slopes outside this village all belong to Zhuangzi. Including this house, the total asking price is only one hundred thousand taels." ”

"The owner of this Zhuangzi originally took Zhuangzi as a dowry for his daughter. Who knew that the owner's daughter was going to get married far away and might not be able to come back at the end of the year. So the owner had no choice but to sell the Zhuangzi and convert it into money for his daughter. take away."

"Because the wedding was approaching, the owner was anxious to make a move and did not dare to ask for a high price. He only said one hundred thousand taels. Otherwise, a village like this would usually cost at least 120,000 taels."

The middle-aged man looked pityful and continued: "Mrs. Lu, it would not be a loss for you to buy this house now. The price is one thing. You see, all the food outside has been collected."

"The fields and slopes are now vacant. You bought this village and it's all up to you to decide what crops you want to plant. You can plant them now."

"Also, you can choose among the farmers in this village. If you are satisfied, keep them. If you are not satisfied, let them go. You can find some satisfied people to come and farm the land."

Seeing that Gu Yunxi was well-dressed, the middle-aged man thought she was the wife of a wealthy family with the surname Lu under a pseudonym, and she quietly came out to buy from Zhuangzi.

Many large families don't like to let their tenants farm the land. Instead, they like to place some helpless slaves on the farm, or directly buy some people to farm the land.

The output of the Zhuangzi is first sent to the owner's house. If there is any excess, it is sold and exchanged for some money, which is also regarded as the income of the Zhuangzi.

Gu Yunxi smiled and asked: "How many households are there in total in this village now?"

Without thinking, the middleman explained: "There are a total of twelve households, and each family cultivates about twenty or thirty acres of land. Since this village is old, and the households have given birth to one generation after another, the number of people is indeed a bit large, so each household is assigned There are fewer fields.”

"Mrs. Lu, if you think there are too many people in this village, just ask them to find another place to go."

The intermediary secretly caught a glimpse of Gu Yunxi's brows frowning slightly, thinking that she was dissatisfied with so many farmers and thought that all the farmers had planted their land, so she would have no extra land to grow the crops she wanted.

After all, I heard Mo San, the housekeeper of the Lu family, say before that their young lady wanted to buy Zhuangzi, intending to use it to grow her own grain and sell it in her own shop.

Gu Yunxi said nothing, and the expression on his face was also light.

No one knew that her heart was full of excitement at this moment. She looked at Zhuangzi, who did not yet belong to her, and a grand blueprint was already planned in her mind.

She has space and thousands of acres of land! So much food was grown!

If, if I could have Zhuangzi as my cover, would I be able to be honest in the future and take out all the food and peonies in the space openly?

Gu Yunxi was overjoyed and wished he could nod his head immediately and buy Zhuangzi.

However, she then thought about it and realized that the current price offered by Zhuangzi was beyond her expectation. Furthermore, the house on Zhuangzi looked to be quite old. Even if she bought it back, it would require a lot of effort to repair it. .

According to her shopping experience in her previous life, even if she likes a piece of clothing, she cannot show it to the store that she likes it, otherwise it will be difficult to negotiate the price.

When Gu Yunxi thought about it, most of his thoughts of buying it disappeared immediately.

She looked calm and asked: "Zhongren, are there any other Zhuangzi? I want to see a few more."

Look at a few more so that you can compare and have a better idea.

However, with Zhuangzi now, to be honest, Gu Yunxi is already very satisfied.

When the middle-aged man heard her question, he thought she didn't like Zhuangzi, so he became a little anxious.

"Mrs. Lu, don't you like this Zhuangzi? Don't worry, this Zhuangzi is not good. I will take you to see another Zhuangzi. However, the other Zhuangzi is a bit far away from here. It is getting late today. You If you want to go see..."

Now it takes more than half an hour to walk to this Zhuangzi from the city by horse-drawn carriage, and the other house mentioned by the stranger is in another direction of the capital. If you go from this Zhuangzi, you must first pass through the capital.

When we returned to the capital, it was almost dark, and Zhuangzi would definitely not be able to see it anymore.

Gu Yunxi thought for a while and discussed: "Well, how about you take us to have a look tomorrow morning?"

"In addition to that Zhuangzi, there are other Zhuangzi of similar size. We also introduced them to us and took us over to have a look."

The middle man nodded, no business is done in one go.

He saw that Mrs. Lu wanted to buy Zhuangzi with great sincerity, so naturally he wanted to do his best to promote such a good thing.

"Mrs. Lu, don't worry. I'll go back and look for you right away. Where will I be waiting for you tomorrow morning?"

"Let's go to the south city gate." Mo San said. The other Zhuangzi said that the fastest way is from the south city gate.

Hearing this, the middle man agreed.

After the group came out of Zhuangzi, they returned to the capital first.

Gu Yunxi took the carriage directly home. After arriving at Lu's house, he saw Lu Jianchuan waiting at the door with an anxious look on his face.

Seeing Gu Yunxi get off the carriage, Lu Jianchuan hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Daughter-in-law, where have you been?"

Lu Jianchuan looked aggrieved, distressed and angry, which made Gu Yunxi feel very sorry.

She took Lu Jianchuan's hand and shook it gently: "Ah Chuan, don't worry, I just went to the suburbs of Beijing to see Zhuangzi."

"Besides, I don't go out alone now. I also take Mo San and a few other people with me. Things like Huaxiang won't happen."

"Let's go back. I'm starving. Let's eat first."

Gu Yunxi explained, then took Lu Jianchuan's hand and shouted that he was hungry, which made Lu Jianchuan immediately soften his heart.

"Well, let's eat first. The kitchen is ready. I'll wait for you to come back to eat."

The couple held hands and walked towards the dining room...
