The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Jiang Ziyan pretended to be helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Cui, don't embarrass me. Our family has always been an upright official. If you let him know that I have collected things that should not be collected, I am afraid that I will be angry when I go back." of."

Cui Yuanwai paused, "This...you don't let him know, can't it be fine?"

Jiang Ziyan sighed, "Mr. Cui may not be clear about it. As a man, Jiang is committed to Lord Lin's house. This position is already awkward. Naturally, he doesn't have much right to speak in the house. He has to listen to Master Lin in everything. I absolutely dare not accept this money, if he finds out, I can't bear the consequences. Cui Yuanwai should hurry up and take the money back!"

What he said was full of emotion, and there was a sense of helpless sadness in the words, which made it difficult for Cui Yuanwai to ask him to collect money for a while.

"Well, since Mr. Jiang is not easy to accept, Cui will take back the money. But money is something outside of me. The most important thing is to make Mr. Jiang a friend."

Jiang Ziyan saw that this was the point of the conversation, and immediately threw out a topic, "Cui Yuanwai is a straightforward person, and it is worthwhile to make friends with you. If there is anything that needs my help in the future, just ask."

Cui Yuanwai's face beamed with joy, that's what he wanted.

"Mr. Jiang is serious, but since we are making friends, Cui has to show his sincerity. How about this, I will give you these good things, you can pick whatever you want, and you can take whatever you choose."

This room is usually used by Cui Yuanwai to meet guests, because it was just decorated a few days ago, and many valuable things have been added here. There are some old carved porcelain vases on the wooden shelf, and there are various calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Even the desks are made of golden nanmu, which is quite impressive.

Jiang Ziyan was not surprised at all about his treasures, and she hadn't forgotten why she came here today.

He waved his hand and refused, "Mr. Cui's kindness is appreciated by Mr. Jiang, but these things must be your favorite things. A gentleman does not take what others like, so you should keep it."

Seeing that Jiang Ziyan didn't accept anything, Cui Yuanwai felt a little confused.

He simply said: "Mr. Jiang, you are too polite. How about this? Today, you will come to Cui's house as a guest to save face, and we will all be friends in the future. If you need any help, just ask. Cui will definitely help with all his strength."

Jiang Ziyan smiled, his face was very moved, the two of them talked for a long time, and the relationship between them became much closer.

Just talking, Jiang Ziyan suddenly frowned, as if remembering something embarrassing, and sighed sadly.

Cui Yuanwai said: "Why is Mr. Jiang sighing? But what's the problem? Let's talk about it, maybe Cui can help."

Jiang Ziyan only spoke out about his difficulties after Cui Yuanwai's repeated urging.

"Mr. Cui, you don't know anything. Jiang is just here with Mr. Lin. He seldom goes out on weekdays. He occasionally goes to the cement factory with Mr. Lin. The rest of the time he basically stays at the house."

"I am a big man. I am not like the wives and concubines raised by other people. I live by pleasing men every day. I saved some savings in the capital before. After thinking about it for a few days, I might as well buy some Susukida. I am a landlord, I can collect rent, and I can still have some extra money for myself, so I don’t have to ask others for everything. But I asked a few days ago, and there are too few farmlands for sale here, and I can’t find a way to buy them even if I want to buy them. .”

Cui Yuanwai said: "Why don't you ask Mr. Lin? There should be some fields in the yamen that can be bought and sold?"

Jiang Ziyan said: "Yes, but I don't want him to know. If this is not what he wants, it will save him from getting angry with me."

"That's right. How about this? I have a lot of fields under my name. I can sell you some at a lower price if you want to buy them."

When Jiang Ziyan heard that the other party had taken the bait, he looked embarrassed and a little bit guilty, and said, "Why is this so embarrassing? Isn't this just letting me take advantage of you? There is no such reason."

"It's okay, I have a lot of fields, so it doesn't matter how many acres I sell to you."

Cui Yuanwai only thought that Jiang Ziyan was too honest, others were thinking about how to take advantage of him, but he was good, he behaved like a gentleman, and people couldn't help but feel good about him.

Jiang Ziyan said embarrassingly: "Since this is the case, then Jiang will be more respectful than obedient. Mr. Cui is still capable. At this age, he is able to sit on so many properties. It is beyond the reach of others, and he admires him."

Cui Yuanwai's first love in his life is not only his love of money, but his second love is to listen to good things. The better he is praised by others, the happier he is.

Jiang Ziyan took the opportunity and said again: "If you are willing to sell the money in your hand to me, I have already taken advantage of you, so you don't need to lower the price any more, just sell it to Jiang at the market price. It's just... "

Cui Yuanwai asked, "Just what?"

"It's just that I want to buy a lot of land. I wonder if you are willing to sell it to me."

"How much do you want to buy? I still have these lands. You don't have to worry, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I, Cui, made my fortune from the fields. If there are not many fields, there are many fields."

This Jiang Ziyan naturally knows that most of the gentry and wealthy households here are big landlords, and they have a lot of fields in their hands. Otherwise, Jiang Ziyan would not want to buy fields from them, instead of going to Lin Zhao to buy them. There is a field for sale at the other end of the yamen.

"I want to buy thirty acres, what do you think?"

Originally, Cui Yuanwai thought that Jiang Ziyan would buy ten mu or eight mu at most, and he would sell them if they were cheap, but he didn't expect that he would buy thirty mu for a mouthful.

Even if the other party said to buy according to the market price, he was somewhat hesitant at this moment.

Jiang Ziyan saw that he was a bit embarrassed, so he retreated and said: "If it is not convenient for Cui Yuanwai, then Jiang can buy less for the time being, and ask others if they are willing to sell the land at another time. It’s time to buy some more to make up for.”

As soon as Cui Yuanwai heard him say that he would ask other people another day, he immediately thought of Zhao Qiansun and the three families. Except for his family's large land in Lin'an County, the rest of the land that can be sold is basically in the hands of these three families. These are the land in addition to the farmers' own land.

Instead of giving the three of them a chance to make friends with Jiang Ziyan, it is better to sell all the [-] acres of land to him at one time, which can prevent them from making friends, and at the same time be a favor, killing two birds with one stone.

After figuring it out, Yuanwai Cui readily agreed.

"Okay, thirty acres is thirty acres. Since you want to buy it, then don't bother asking others. I'll set aside thirty acres for you and sell them all to you."

Jiang Ziyan looked happy and looked very happy. He stepped forward and took Cui Yuanwai's arm, and said, "Really? You are so kind. Don't worry, I will be more beautiful for you in front of Master Lin in the future." Just a few words."

Cui Yuanwai was also very happy when he said this this year. The heartache of selling [-] acres of land just now was overwhelmed by the joy in his heart. Nothing is as good as a pillow.

As long as Mr. Jiang often talks good things about Mr. Lin by his pillow, it will be very convenient for him to do business or other things in Lin'an City in the future, and he doesn't have to worry so much.

It's just that these are all his own thoughts.

After discussing with Yuanwai Cui which land they wanted, the two signed the land deed. Jiang Ziyan did not bring a large amount of money with him when he went out.

Seeing that the person who gave the money was Jiang Ziyan himself, Yuanwai Cui was naturally happy for a while.

The [-] acres of land that Jiang Ziyan wants are not particularly good places, and even [-] acres of land are still in the mountains, and they are all dry fields that are not very fertile.

After all, it would be pretty good to be able to sell him [-] mu. If he picked some better land, it would be too boring. Only by advancing and retreating can he maintain his goodwill.

If Lin Zhao, the magistrate of the county, came forward to buy these fields, it would probably be better to buy them, but at the same time, if he opened his mouth to buy them, he would lose the opportunity between the buyer and the seller, and the other party would inevitably make some unreasonable demands .

In addition, in the future when dealing with official affairs, the other party will definitely use this favor as a threat all the time, and the county magistrate will be very constrained.

It's better for Jiang Ziyan to come forward and let the other party curry favor. He bought the land with the conditions and without losing face. Anyway, the two sides' speeches are very vague. He promised that anyone who needs help can come to him, even though they all know behind his back. Standing is the county magistrate, but what he agreed does not mean that the county magistrate agreed.

Jiang Ziyan took advantage of this loophole here. In the future, if Mr. Cui came to ask him for help with something, he would naturally help him as much as he could, but if it involved Lin Zhao being inconvenient as an official, he could only refuse, and the other party couldn't pick anything. Wrong place.

Jiang Ziyan came back from Cui Yuanwai and entered the house with the land deed of [-] mu.

Lin Zhao came back early today, and Jiang Ziyan showed him the Tian Qi.

Lin Zhao saw that there were [-] mu of land, and boasted: "It's because we Yanyan can do it, and we bought [-] mu of land after going there."

Jiang Ziyan didn't talk to him about anything, he said: "The news of my going to Cui's mansion today should be known to the other wealthy families soon."

Lin Zhao, you dragged him to sit on your lap, put your arms around his waist, and said in a lazy tone, "Then you go? Didn't they invite you a few days ago?"

"If you invite me, I'll go? After all, it's a friend you, an unfeminine county magistrate, have publicly admitted. How can you be so casual."

Lin Zhao could hear the teasing in his words, the smile on his face froze for a moment, then he tightened the tight hands around his waist, and said, "I don't say that, how do they know your importance? What if you want to stuff me with a woman? I don't want to be shut out by you."

"Who shut you out?" Jiang Ziyan retorted, remembering the unspeakable sourness in his heart when he saw someone give him a woman last time, he couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"Okay, okay, you didn't close it, I felt ashamed in my heart, and I took the initiative to stand outside the door, are you satisfied?"

Jiang Ziyan couldn't help but turned sideways and patted him on the chest, his voice dragged unconsciously, as if coquettishly said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Like a cat scratching it, it tickled Lin Zhao's heart.

He squeezed his chin with one hand, forced him to turn around, and brought his lips together.

At the end of the kiss, Jiang Ziyan's entire lips were a little red and swollen, and someone's saliva was still on it, making it very crystal clear and moist.

Lin Zhao wanted to lean in for a second kiss, but Jiang Ziyan stopped him by covering his mouth.

"Stop kissing, you'll be bald if you kiss again." Jiang Ziyan said embarrassedly.

When Lin Zhao kissed him, he sucked so hard that his mouth was burning hot now, and now he didn't want to kiss any more.

After resting for a while, Lin Zhao asked, "Are you going out tomorrow?"

Jiang Ziyan shook his head, "Wait a little longer. When they know today that I have accepted Cui's appointment, they will definitely not be able to resist posting me again. I will go again when they post the second time, trying to buy more land return."

Lin Zhao boasted, "We Yanyan are really capable."

Jiang Ziyan slapped his hand down, and said fiercely: "What is it called Yanyan, it sounds weird, don't be poor, pack up and go to sleep."

Lin Zhao pouted and asked, "Can we sleep together today?"

"cannot!"

Lin Zhao looked at him with resentment, his disapproval was written all over his face.

Jiang Ziyan felt that since the two of them got together, Lin Zhao was much more cheerful in front of him than before, and now he would act like a baby to him.

"It's useless to disagree. I haven't settled with you for deliberately revealing the relationship between the two of us. It's a good thing that this is not in the capital, or how many people will gossip about you."

Lin Zhaodao: "I don't care. Anyway, it will be made public sooner or later. You are from my Rong Palace, so don't even think about running away in this life."

Jiang Ziyan couldn't help laughing, he got off Lin Zhao's lap, and said, "OK, OK, I won't run, go back to sleep quickly."
