The place where my heart goes to farming

Now that they decided to leave, the two of them didn't hesitate any longer, and when Mu Chen recovered from his injuries, they and Cen Le started to prepare.

Everything that needs to be taken away was packed up, and a few acres of paddy fields and cultivated land were wasted, so Mu Chen went to Li Zheng and asked him to help rent it out.

At first, Cen Le wanted to keep the cultivated land and hire some people to grow flowers for rouge and gouache, but after thinking about it later, he felt that it was not appropriate.

Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong have only been sentenced for a few short months. According to their extreme personalities, they may not regret it after they come out. If the flowers are planted in Taohua Village, if they intend to retaliate and do something to the flower fields, that is what they will do. Something went wrong.

In such a matter, Cen Le dared not take any risks.

Suzhou is prosperous, and both land and water transportation are very smooth. Most of the grain produced can be transported to other places, and there are often merchants buying it, so no one will dislike too much paddy fields. Many people want to rent it out.

Because there were so many people who wanted it, all the fields were rented out within two days.

The contract was signed for a total of five years, and it was stipulated that each mu was two taels of silver. Muchen's family had two mu of paddy fields and three mu of cultivated land, and the total was ten taels of silver.

Although ten taels of silver is not much, it can only be paid out by the combination of several families.

Now that the field matters have been dealt with, the next step is to set up a shop in the city and find a place to buy land for planting flowers.

Now that the snow has not completely melted, and all kinds of flowers have not yet bloomed, the types of rouge that can be made are very limited, so there is no rush to set up a shop under the plate. After careful consideration, Cen Le decided to find a place to plant flowers first .

There are many villages nearby, accompanied by Mu Chen, Cen Le went to visit them all.

After picking and choosing, Cen Le finally chose Wangjia Village, which is completely opposite to Taohua Village.

Wangjia Village and Taohua Village are far away, and it takes three hours to go back and forth, so the villagers in the two places seldom meet each other. Although Wangjia Village is not as rich as Taohua Village, the folk customs are more simple. , is more secure.

After confirming, Cen Le and Mu Chen went to find Li Zheng together.

There is an old man over the age of [-] in Wangjia Village. He has a kind smile and is always kind, which makes people feel good.

Seeing that it was two strangers visiting, he couldn't help being surprised, but he quickly asked Cen Le and Mu Chen to sit down.

"The two young masters look very unfamiliar, aren't they from Wangjia Village? Come to see me, the old man, but what's the matter?"

Cen Le didn't beat around the bush, just took a pen and wrote on the paper, "I want to buy a house in the village, buy two acres of land, and hire someone to plant some flowers, but I don't know the place where I live. Let's lead the line to see who has a vacant house and land."

Finding that Cen Le couldn't speak, Li Zheng just glanced at Cen Le and didn't show anything else.

At his age, he has met a lot and seen a lot. As long as a person is not a villain, it doesn't matter.

Li Zheng said: "There just happens to be a vacant house, you two come with me, I will take you to have a look."

Cen Le and Mu Chen nodded, stood up and followed Li Zheng's pace.

Wangjia Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The houses in the village are arranged in twos and threes, each of which is a household. The village is also large, with more than 100 households living there.

Li Zheng led them to the foot of the mountain closest to the north of the village, and walked into a house of blue bricks and tiles.

The house is a two-entry courtyard, not particularly large, but the main courtyard and the secondary courtyard add up to a total of six rooms, which is enough.

Taking Mu Chen and Cen Le for a stroll, Li Zheng said: "This courtyard was originally the residence of a retired official. After he went, he left the courtyard to his nephew who took care of him. His nephew is now I do business in Yangzhou and don't come back to live here, so I entrusted the house to my care, if the two young masters want to buy it, I can ask someone to send a letter to ask him to come back, and you can talk to him in detail."

Cen Le took a closer look at the yard and was satisfied, so he nodded, "Then I will trouble you."

Li Zhengdao, "He already wanted to sell his house. From time to time, he would ask someone to send a letter asking me if anyone wanted to buy it. It's just that every household in this village has a house. If you need to buy another house, it has been vacant. If you really want to buy it, he will buy it." And happier."

Li Zheng said again: "He still has a few acres of land under his command, which have been neglected all year round. If necessary, you can also discuss it together."

"We understand, thank you."

Li Zheng waved his hand: "It's nothing more than a little effort."

He continued: "It will take some time for the letter to be delivered. I estimate it will take more than ten days. The two of you can come back in half a month."

Cen Le nodded.

Leaving from Wangjia Village, Cen Le pondered for a while, and then told Mu Chen what he had been thinking about these days: "After the house and land are bought, I want Chen Sheng to come over and take care of them, and then hire a few people to plant flowers material."

Chen Sheng was honest, courageous and hardworking. He and Mu Chen couldn't stay in the Zhuangzi all the time. With Chen Sheng's help to watch over them, they felt relieved.

Mu Chen said: "Very good, Chen Sheng is a good boy."

What happened to Cen Le, if Chen Sheng hadn't rushed to the city to inform Gu Fangyou and him in time, I'm afraid they would be too late when they came back.

Looking at Mu Chen, Cen Le said again: "Let's leave when the house and fields are ready."

"It's up to you to decide." Mu Chen looked back at Cen Le with a smile, then took Cen Le's hand and kissed it.

The tips of Cen Le's ears turned red, but he didn't withdraw his hand.

Staring at Cen Le, the smile in Mu Chen's eyes deepened, he held Cen Le's hand tightly, and asked, "Are you going to the city?"

"That's fine." Cen Le said, "Let's go to the jade wares of the Qin family. I just went to ask Young Master Qin if those rouges are good for use."

—

It was already half past noon when we entered Suzhou City.

Both Cen Le and Mu Chen felt hungry, so they decided to find a restaurant and sit down for lunch first.

It was the time of meal time, there were many people in the restaurant and the place was not big, so they went to several restaurants in a row, all of them were full.

Cen Le's stomach was extremely hungry, and his feet were a little sore, he didn't want to leave anymore, so he dragged Mu Chen directly into the nearest restaurant.

As soon as they sat down, Cen Le saw Qin Ming walking in with two people.

Coincidentally, Song Yunjing was one of those two.

They sat in a remote place, not attracting attention. Cen Le didn't want to say hello at first, after all, he saw Song Yunjing with a big head, not to mention that they seemed to have something to talk about, but he didn't expect Song Yunjing to see him and turned to him ran over.

Walking quickly in front of Cen Le, Song Yunjing was very surprised, "I thought I was wrong, why can I see you every time."

Cen Le had no choice but to nod to him, and wrote: "I want to ask too."

"It must be fate. Since there is fate, let's eat together." After finishing speaking, Song Yunjing sat down familiarly, and then turned back to wave to Qin Ming and the others, "Brother, Brother Qin, come and sit down."

He didn't mention buying a watch from Cen Le again today.

Seeing Cen Le, Qin Ming walked over, "I was just talking to Yun Xiu about you, and you appeared."

As he said that, he turned around and introduced to the man in Tsing Yi beside him: "Yunxiu, this is the person who gave me the rouge, his name is Cen Le, and the other one, I mentioned to you, is my savior, Mu Chen. "

Mu Chen and the man met before, when the three of them were drinking, he was the one who picked up the drunk Qin Ming.

He nodded to the man.

Smiling slightly, the man introduced himself: "I am Song Yunxiu." He pointed to Song Yunjing again, "This is my younger brother."

"Okay, big brother, please sit down, I'm going to be hungry." Song Yunjing grabbed a person with one hand, pulled the two of them to a chair and sat down, and then called the shop waiter, and reported the names of seven or eight dishes as soon as he opened his mouth .

After finishing the report, he said again: "Let's go ahead with these for now, but you have to deliver them as soon as possible. If it's too late, young master, I'll have your shop demolished!"

"Yunjing!" Song Yunxiu frowned, his tone very severe.

Song Yunjing shrank his neck and smiled sarcastically, "Brother, I was just joking, I didn't think it was serious..."

Song Yunxiu was very serious, "It's just a joke, don't say that. You are not a bastard. How can you threaten to tear down other people's stores at every turn? Where have you learned etiquette? When you go back, you will copy the "Disciple Regulations" three times. Give me all over."

"Brother!" Song Yunjing made a pitiful expression.

Song Yunxiu poured himself a cup of tea slowly and ignored him.

With a sullen face, Song Yunjing went to look at Qin Ming again, "Brother Qin, help me talk and persuade my brother."

He knew that his brother listened to Qin Ming the most.

"Then do you want to talk about it next time?" Qin Ming asked him.

"Don't say it, absolutely not." Song Yunjing's face was sincere, and he almost raised his hand to swear.

Qin Ming smiled, and said to Song Yunxiu: "Child Yunjing's temperament is just a joke, so don't punish him."

Glancing at Qin Ming, Song Yunxiu thought for a while and said, "Then copy it once. If you don't want to, just copy it ten times."

"Understood, I will copy it carefully this time." Song Yunjing was proud of himself, but on the surface he was extremely obedient.

Seeing this scene, Cen Le was a little disappointed, but at the same time felt very envious. He had always hoped to have a brother or sister, but unfortunately, he couldn't even find his biological parents.

Noticing Cen Le's expression, Mu Chen pursed his lips, and held Cen Le's hand tightly under the table.

Cen Le was stunned, raised his eyebrows, and smiled slightly at Mu Chen.

After teaching Song Yunjing a lesson, Song Yunxiu turned his head to look at Cen Le and Mu Chen, "Yunjing is so stubborn, I made you laugh."

Cen Le shook his head, lowered his head and wrote: "You two brothers have a very good relationship."

"It's really good." Qin Ming asked again: "Why did you come to the city today? Originally, I planned to visit you in the afternoon."

"Looking for me?" Cen Le was puzzled.

Qin Mingdao: "I took the rouge you gave me home and gave it to my sisters, but later they don't know who they gave it to, and now they all come to me for it if they think it's useful. Japan wants to buy some from you today."

Cen Le smiled, "I still have a lot, if Young Master Qin wants it, just come and get it."

Qin Ming also smiled, "If that's the case, I won't be polite to you."

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Qin Ming said again: "By the way, Yunxiu also wants to discuss something with you. I wonder if you are free?"

Cen Le asked, "What's the matter?"

Song Yunxiu glanced around, "There are a lot of people here and it's very noisy. Why don't we find a teahouse after lunch and sit down and talk?"

There are many guests at the moment, and the lobby is really noisy, filled with all kinds of voices, Cen Le thought about it, and agreed.
