Gu Huanxi thought about it carefully and was convinced by him, "This method is feasible, but it won't last long. Once you make a deal, how will you make money in the future?"

Xu Huaiyi said matter-of-factly, "The income from Zhuangzi is fine. I asked the village chief Hu. There are still a lot of unsold land near Hutian Village. Although the Buddha's light we artificially created has washed away the ominous reputation." , but many people are still waiting and watching. Moreover, the land in this village is indeed a bit thin. The crops cannot be harvested, which will also affect the market. But we are not afraid, and we will not buy too much. A small farm of 100 acres is enough. Is it possible to support dozens of people with the annual output?”

Gu Huanxi pondered, "In addition to growing crops, we can also raise some chickens, ducks and pigs. By the way, is there any hillside land? We will also plant some fruit trees."

Xu Huaiyi happily agreed.

Gu Huanxi saw the joy on his brows and eyes, and couldn't help but laugh. She couldn't be happier to be able to work hard towards her hobbies and dreams, so she asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Xu Huaiyi said cautiously, "I also want to adopt some more orphans..."

"Want to open a charity hall?"

"No, I'm not that kind. I think those orphans who have been raised since childhood will be more loyal to our family. When the time comes, they can be used in various places according to their character and ability. What do you think?"

How does Gu Huanxi feel? All we could do was beat him, "It's not suitable to adopt, so let's buy it. Besides, we can't buy too much, we can't afford it."

Xu Huaiyi said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you..."

With these things in mind, Xu Huaiyi was so excited that he didn't even take a nap. After discussing it with his wife, and getting approval, he went to take care of it.

He first went to the village chief to buy land, and he enclosed a hundred acres and a small hilltop of more than forty acres. Taken together, the land was less than two hundred taels.

Xu Huaiyi really felt that he had made a lot of money. Of course, this was because Village Chief Hu wanted to show his kindness by giving him some relief. Otherwise, according to the current trend, it won’t take long for the land in Hutian Village to rise. Doubling or tripling would not be a problem, but Village Chief Hu didn't bother him to buy it, so he readily agreed.

Xu Huaiyi didn't have that much money at the moment, so he decided to go to the Yamen to transfer the ownership in two days.

The next day, Xu Huaiyi got up before dawn. After dinner, he urged Gu Huanxi to put on makeup for him. In order to hide it from the villagers, he didn't even drive the mule cart.

After he left, Gu Huanxi kept thinking about it, going into the RV from time to time to take a look. The two of them agreed that if something happened, he would leave her a note in the car.

When she entered the RV again after ten o'clock, she saw her enemy lying on the bed, chewing on the neck of a duck, and watching a movie on the computer.

"Is the matter done?"

Xu Huaiyi took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. He excitedly took the banknote out of his arms and patted it on the bed. "Not only has it been completed, but it has also exceeded the quota."

Gu Huanxi picked up the banknotes and counted them. One hundred taels each, ten in total, he couldn't help but asked in surprise, "So many? How did you negotiate?"

Xu Huaiyi said arrogantly, "That's all we were talking about. The shopkeeper didn't like me at first, but when I took out the glass ornaments and put them on the counter, I immediately calmed him down. After that, he I wanted to lower the price and tried all kinds of tests. I deliberately pretended to be inscrutable so that he couldn't figure it out. Only then did I frighten him. He didn't dare to be cunning anymore and honestly talked about business with me. I just opened my mouth and asked for it. One thousand taels didn't give him any room to bargain. He refused at first, so I picked it up and turned around to leave. He stopped me and said a lot of nice things, but I just wouldn't let go. In the end, he had no choice but to agree. Who knows that he really cares about this glass? It was because I saw his intention that I dared to ask for a high price."

"Even if he takes a fancy to you, you still dare to open your mouth if you ask for a thousand taels."

"He should be looking for a rare gift for some noble person. This glass ornament is just the right time for us to take it out. He will definitely not want to miss it. One thousand taels sounds like a lot, but to them , It’s not expensive at all. Do you know how much the things in the Qizhen Pavilion cost? A piece of calligraphy and painting costs several hundred taels, and there are also thousands and tens of thousands..." When he said this, he thought of something, He said excitedly, "By the way, wife, I know who wrote those words."

Gu Huan asked curiously, "Did you see the same handwriting in Qizhen Pavilion?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded vigorously, "I saw it, and I asked specifically, whose do you think it belongs to?"

Gu Huanxi rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "Where am I going to guess? Hurry up and stop being so pretentious."

Xu Huaiyi chuckled and said, "It's Mr. Jiang Yongjiang, the former Imperial College scholar. He was also once the number one scholar. He is recognized as a Wenqu star. Isn't he awesome?"

Gu Huan said happily, "That is indeed powerful, but why is he living in seclusion in this small mountain village? Has he been demoted? Or has he taken refuge after offending someone?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I asked a few circumstantial questions, but it seemed that it was not the case. It was Mr. Jiang who was in poor health and resigned on his own initiative. Now many people are asking about him and want to become their teacher. He is hiding here, maybe Just for the sake of purity."

Gu Huanxi didn't quite believe this was the reason. She felt that it was more likely that the former Imperial College Jijiu didn't want to get involved in various party disputes, so he retreated bravely.

If this is the case, then it is conceivable that the battles in the court may have already become a fire and water. Think about it, several princes have grown up, but the emperor is still in his prime, and the calls for the establishment of a prince are getting louder and louder. For that In this position, brothers can turn against each other, and father and son can become enemies. Anyone who is involved in this situation will not be trembling with fear.

There are those who are ambitious and may like this situation and can take a chance on becoming a dragon, but there are also those who are unwilling to take risks and will definitely find ways to avoid it.

This Mr. Jiang is probably the latter, right?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Huaiyi asked, "What's wrong? Do you think it's inappropriate?"

Gu Huanxi muttered, "I don't think this matter is urgent. We are not familiar with him yet. Let's wait and see again."

Xu Huaiyi has no objection.

Gu Huanxi brought the topic back, "You ducked into the RV to avoid the people in Qizhen Pavilion, right?"

"Yeah, when I went out, I felt someone following me. It must be the shopkeeper who wants to find out my details. Can I make him succeed? I went to a busy restaurant and went to I went to the toilet in the backyard and got into the RV. Let the grandsons watch outside. If they see me if I don’t come out for a while, they will definitely go to the backyard to check. If they can’t find anyone, they will think that I jumped over the wall and left. Wait until then. If I change my appearance and go out, who can tell?"

Gu Huanxi nodded, "This method works. Then you can rest here for a while. How about I bring you some food later? Wei Ci made pork ribs and lotus root soup."

"No, are we still short of food in the car? I'll have some fried chicken nuggets later, with beer. I haven't had this for a long time, and I'm still thinking about it."

Gu Huanxi saw that he had made all the arrangements, so he stopped caring about him and went out on his own.
