After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

On the streets leading out of Dianzhou City, Chengwen drove the carriage and other guards rode on horseback to protect both sides of the carriage.

Xiao Qingshan learned that Dong was going to visit the hot spring village in the east of the city with Ming Jia, so he arranged for Chengde and Chengzhi to come over for protection.

"Jiajia, this carriage is really not bumpy at all!"

Ms. Dong waited for the carriage to start and tried for a long time, then said to Ming Jia in disbelief.

"Dianzhou is very mountainous and the roads are already bumpy. Sitting in a carriage is even more bumpy. Jiajia, can we order two carriages like this? Your father and you can use them every day!"

When Mingjia saw that her mother also wanted a carriage like this, she told Mrs. Dong her original outrageous idea.

"You actually thought about letting Uncle Li steal Mr. Ye's carriage?"

Along the way, Mrs. Dong listened to her daughter talk about how much Mingjia had thought about this carriage.

"Madam, Master, the hot spring village has arrived!"

Chengwen's voice sounded, and the carriage stopped at the same time. Mingjia jumped off the carriage first, and then helped Dong get off the carriage.

Huang Dayou was waiting at the door of Zhuangzi. He originally thought that Young Master Xiao was coming alone, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Xiao was also here.

"Huang Dazhao, a grassroots citizen, has seen Yiren and wishes to say hello to Yiren!"

For Huang Dayou to do this job, he needs to be well-informed. The Dong family has a mandate and is more confident than other officials and family members in Dianzhou City.

"Huang Yao, please get up quickly! I need your help with today's affairs."

Huang Dayou stood up and quickly said he didn't dare, and then led the people into the village. Others like Huang Dazu came here and had seen Zhuangzi, so they were very familiar with the introduction.

Mrs. Dong originally didn't know who the original owner of Zhuangzi was, but she had some guesses after seeing the house in Zhuangzi.

Mingjia looked at the courtyard where the third generation entered in Zhuangzi, and there were several independent small courtyards next to it.

"Huang Yaren, does this house occupy two or three acres of land?"

Mingjia turned to look at Huang Dazhao. The Dazhuangzi she bought yesterday said that Zhaizi gave it away for free. Today, Zhuangzi was afraid that Zhaizi would have to pay extra for it.

Ms. Dong was very excited about visiting Zhuangzi at the beginning, but later she became a little tired. The most important thing was that Ms. Dong no longer wanted to buy this Zhuangzi.

Seeing that her mother was not in a high mood, Mingjia asked Mrs. Shui to accompany her mother to rest in the house, while she continued to watch Zhuangzi with Granny Yan and Cheng Si.

Mingjia went to see the hot springs specifically and found that there were two springs. The area near the larger spring had obviously been repaired and was very suitable for hot spring bathing in winter.

The small area was a bit deserted, so it was obvious that he didn't care about the small spring. Mingjia felt that it could be used to build a greenhouse.

Although the temperature in Dianzhou is not too cold even in winter, if Mingjia wants to grow medicinal materials, he needs to breed and raise seedlings in advance, and a greenhouse will be more effective.

After seeing the hot springs, Mingjia and the others began to walk back.

"Grandma Yan, how is Zhuangzi doing?" Mingjia asked in a low voice, Granny Yan, who was half a step behind.

At first glance, this Zhuangzi is here for the enjoyment of nobles, and it was not originally used to produce food and grow vegetables.

However, Zhuangzi's Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Shui are both experts in this kind of thing, and Mingjia needs Mrs. Yan to help her check things out.

"Master, the layout and planning of this village must have been designed by someone, and the maintenance is also very good. The original owner must have put a lot of thought into it."

Mingjia noticed a slight pause in Mrs. Yan's words and looked sideways at Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan raised her head to look at Master Mingjia, and then moved her gaze to Huang Dazu. When she finally lowered her head, her eyes glanced at the purse around Mingjia's waist.

Mingjia...So, Mrs. Yan is worried that Zhuangzi's asking price is too high?

Both Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Shui had recently heard that their wives were saving up for a dowry for their young lady, and they guessed that their wives would not want to spend money on such a village.

With Mrs. Yan's reminder, Mingjia suddenly understood why her mother suddenly lost interest just now.

Ming Jia suddenly stopped and looked at Huang Dazu, who was a little confused.

"Huang Yaren, how much does this village cost?"

Mingjia guessed that her mother must like this village and would not be willing to buy it, so she wanted to negotiate the price in advance.

Huang Dayou was really confused. It was okay if the mistress didn't come yesterday. But if the mistress came today, could it be that Mr. Xiao still made the decision?

Ming Jia saw that Huang Dazu was stunned, so he repeated the question again.

Huang Dayou quickly stopped thinking and patiently told Mr. Xiao the price of this village.

"The land that can be cultivated in this village is all high-quality fertile land, about 500 acres, and there is a small piece of mountainous land behind it, about dozens of acres. The original owner said that it can be used without money."

Mingjia didn't look happy at all when he heard this. Dozens of acres of mountainous land were given away as promised, and the rest was charged.

"Hey! There is a hot spring in this village. You have also seen the house in front. It is very well built and maintained. ..."

Seeing that Huang Dayou still wanted to praise Zhuangzi, Mingjia became impatient.

"Can you just tell me how much money it is?"

"Two thousand five hundred taels!"

"How many?"

Mingjia's voice has increased a bit. Zhuangzi, who owns less than 600 acres of land, wants two thousand five hundred taels of silver. Why doesn't he grab it?

Mrs. Yan followed Mingjia and quietly took half a step back. She actually felt that the price was acceptable. If it were in a village like the capital, it would cost at least four thousand taels of silver.

"Is the hot spring more expensive or the house more expensive?"

Mingjia has been spending a lot of time buying whatever she wants recently, and she hasn't bargained with anyone for a long time.

Huang Dayou didn't expect that Mr. Xiao would chat with him about Zhuangzi's price.

"They're all expensive! There are a few houses with hot springs in Dianzhou, but it's very rare for the house to be so well-renovated!"

"Otherwise, you can find me another one with a hot spring but no house, or you can ask the original owner to come and dismantle the house and take it with you!"

Huang Dazhao was really confused now. He often negotiated prices with others, and even almost did it for a few cents.

But...it was the first time I met someone who said he had torn down the house and brought it with him, and he was also an official.

The scene was quiet and even a little awkward for a while. It took Huang Dayou a while to react, and he managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Ouch~! Mr. Xiao, you can't say that! Now in Dianzhou City, Zhuangzi is the only one who wants to take action and brings a hot spring!"

"I see that you are very familiar with this Zhuangzi. You have been here several times, right?"

"This is the fourth time!"

……

Seeing Young Master Xiao suddenly looking at him with a smile, Huang Dazu lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Two thousand taels of silver! It can't be any less! This is the lowest price given by the original owner! And three hundred taels of silver can't buy such a big house with three entrances."

Huang Dayou took the lead in making concessions.

Mingjia then looked at the movements around her, then turned to look at Mrs. Yan, who nodded imperceptibly.

"Okay! I'll have someone come over to re-measure the land tomorrow and transfer the title and apply for the deed!"
