[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

Chapter 40 Dealing with and Buying Land

The wood came very quickly, and when Jiao Yufeng had just healed the fortune-teller's wound, the wooden man had already arrived in his yard and had a conversation with Jiao Shibo who opened the door.Judging from the tone of his conversation with Jiao Shibo, he is quite stable. Although his expression is not very good, when he sees Jiao Da, his expression is a bit complicated. He is not stupid, and a fool can't be fooled. spy.Just looking at Jiao Da's complicated and disappointed expression, he knew that he probably couldn't handle being a secret agent.

What's more terrible is that Jiao Da's family was also involved in this matter, so he is very embarrassed to be regarded as an old comrade in the army.But now is not the time to talk about these things, why was he so anxious when he heard that Suangua was injured?Because there is a task involved.So he could only hurriedly give Jiao Da a reassuring look, and then immediately led by Jiao Yufeng, entered the room where the guy was temporarily recuperating.

In the room, Jiao Da didn't know what the two said. Well, even Jiao Yufeng and his son didn't know. Although they have very good ears, they may not be able to hear if they really want to, but is it necessary?People, sometimes it's safer to be less curious, and they understand that.So one by one, like Jiao Da, stood far away, trying to make sure that when people came out, they would know that they had no intention of participating.

People came out, but even if they didn't intend to participate, they still had to say something, look, this is not it, Mu Mu just waved his head, and led Jiao Da and Jiao Yufeng to the main room, oh, there is another one to join in the fun , hiding in the back room, relying on the convenience of the ear, eavesdropping.

"Brother Jiao, I... I won't talk about the past, how I got in here... I don't have anything to say in detail. Sigh! Let's just talk about this time. I know what you're thinking, Don't worry, I know. You saved my brother. It's impossible for us not to know what is good or bad, and to be grateful. It's okay to cause you some trouble, right? So just as you said, this is your nephew who went hunting in the mountains and happened to meet The god stick who rolled up and down the mountain was rescued after seeing that he was in a coma and did not die. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, the Jia family will definitely not be involved. As for after that, don't say I saw or knew this person, I just said that when I went to ask for a doctor, I saw that I was an acquaintance and asked, so I accidentally hit on it, so it's easier to say. What do you think?"

Mu Mu didn't say anything about this suggestion, it was quite good, very particular, and basically touched the point that Jiao Da was most afraid of.In the final analysis, even if the Jia family is trusted again, as long as they get in touch with this spy or something, they will be suspicious from above.As for Jiao Da, who is the personal guard, if it becomes the key point of suspicion, not to mention how much trouble the spies have made, it is the Jia family. It is estimated that Jia Daihua will deal with Jiao Da in order to eliminate his own suspicion.Who is this unlucky at that time?Aren't they such little people?This is one of the main reasons why Jiao Da's face was not good-looking after he found out from the beginning.

Mu Mu can report to the top like this, even if the relationship between Jiao Da and Jiao Yufeng is checked afterwards, and Jiao Da is also in the village at the moment, the suspicion is more than half. After all, there is still a coincidence at this time, right? Who let them I went to the vicinity of Jiao Da's hometown.only. . .

"Can you believe it?"

Although Jiao Da didn't do this job, he was born in the army and was quite familiar with scouts. Such a person suspected everything was instinctive, so he was a little skeptical that Mu Mu could convince his superiors.But fortunately, there is indeed room for slowing down this matter.

"Hehe, we're not stupid. It's impossible to go into the mountains without covering up. This guy is carrying a pannier, and he's carrying a herb collector. When a hunter meets a herb collector, he helps people to save people. This is everywhere. It's very ordinary, how can you not believe it? If you don't believe it, how can you do this job? Don't worry, it's not as powerful as you think, besides, we... are all low-level people, and we still walk on the streets all year round. The more people I meet, the higher ups are really not that serious.”

That being said, it is indeed doable.Jiao Da nodded, although his face was still not very good, but he agreed with Mu Mu's words, that is: the little people on the bottom streets are not valued much.He's also a little guy who knows what rank and disparity represent.

When Jiao Yufeng heard this, he basically didn't say anything, but he was not very nervous. He had already analyzed a lot during his stay in Mumu.

Pros and cons, at this moment, they just followed their intentions and added a few chips to this topic.

"When it comes to collecting herbs, this is really a good cover. You don't know that our village made a lot of money selling medicinal materials a while ago, and even the lonely old man earned nearly a tael of silver by wandering around the ravine. For this reason, several villages next door said that our village is a transfer. In the past, we disliked that we lived too far, too close to the mountain, and too far away. Now I know this mountain. The further you go, the more medicinal materials are. The better the more, the more money you can make. It hasn’t been since last month. People from nearby villages have started to walk around the mountain one after another, thinking of collecting herbs to make money. So, here’s an outsider It’s not uncommon for medicine. Although people in the city look down on the muddy legs of the country, who doesn’t want to earn money? Hearing the news, but also want to save face, come here and sneak up the mountain, and you can justify it wherever you go.”

Jiao Yufeng just wanted to hold down the story of helping the herb picker and organize it completely. He didn't want to finish it, but Mu Mu's eyes lit up, as if thinking of something, everyone stood up,

"Eh, I want to put it this way...then...by the way, it's not good to tell you about this. Well, hurry up, I brought a pair of medicine for internal injuries, Jiao Dalang, help me to boil it for a while Feed him down, recover a little earlier, and I can pick him up sooner."

Halfway through the conversation, Mu Mu stopped talking, and the man sat down again, and directly ordered Jiao Yufeng to make the medicine. It seemed that he didn't intend to tell them the rest of the words, but whether it was Jiao Da or Jiao Yufeng, right now It's the time when my mind is spinning fast, grasping this trace, what else can't I understand?It is estimated that such a situation is very conducive to them running into the mountains.As for what is so attractive to them in this mountain,this. . .I don't want to ask, but Jiao Yufeng feels that he should be cautious when going to the mountains in the near future. At least he can't go to the vicinity of the fortune teller. Even if he wants to go, it will take a few months before he can do it .

After finishing the conversation, Mu Mu hurriedly went to the man's house again, presumably because of cross-talking with each other, waiting for him to come out again, waiting for Jiao Yufeng to boil the medicine and feed it, Mu Mu may have a plan What new plan came up, and he couldn't even take care of the two-day raising he said at the beginning, so he hurriedly asked Jiao Yufeng to borrow an ox cart and picked him up.

Of course, before he left, he didn't talk about his loyalty, and secretly said to Jiao Yufeng:

"Don't go north."

After finishing speaking, he left immediately. The speed was so fast, as if something was chasing after him.At the same time, these words also confirmed Jiao Yufeng's guess that there was really something in this mountain, and the location was in the north.

"What did he say?"

"Tell me not to go north."

"Well, this old boy, I still know what is good or bad. It's over, it's nothing to do with us when it gets here, so forget about it in the future. By the way, silver, this is yours, 15 taels, this time we It's not bad luck, with just such a little effort, you have earned such a fortune, you boy, just marrying a wife is enough."

Hey, he had a serious face just now, why did he turn around and get involved in this?Uncle, did you learn how to change your face from people from Sichuan?

Tucao is back to Tucao, Jiao Yufeng actually understands that this is Jiao Da's meaning to completely turn this matter over, so he is also quite cooperative, and starts talking to Jiao Da, from his headache with so many matchmakers, to His worries about the multiple Yue families, his own son's embarrassing situation, and his family's standards for Xu Xuan, etc., his brain is about to explode.

"I said, Erlang, you are a big man. This...is a father and mother at the same time. There was something wrong at the beginning. It was just marrying a daughter-in-law. Is it so troublesome? Whose daughter-in-law comes in, isn't she obedient and four-virtuous? No way Can't you still divorce your wife, how can it be so troublesome?"

"Oh, why don't you trouble me, uncle, why didn't you continue?"

These words hit my heart, how old is Jiao Da, and still talking about Xu Xuan?Didn't see the old man's face immediately turned red.His eyes were still swaying, and he was obviously shy.

"You bastard, what are you talking about, huh? This is what you should ask? You bastard..."

You're obviously angry from embarrassment, I'm scolding you, but you're already like this, why don't you leave?The eyes are all erratic, why are you still

Want to come here?Even the stool was dragged over, is this to be a bosom brother?

"I said, Erlang, why don't you ask me, uncle? There should be quite a few of the kind you mentioned in the mansion. Some of them are sold by people, and many of them are not from the capital. They can be found anywhere in the world, and they even beat children Those who just left home are no different from having no father and no mother. From among these people, we are looking for those who are more temperamental and more responsible, and we can always find a few. How about we pick them here? Uncle There is always some face, even if you are a first-class girl, as long as you like it, it is not impossible for the uncle to ask the Duke."

Look, this is the elder. Even if I am embarrassed, at the critical moment, the matter of this nephew who is almost like my own son is more important than my embarrassment.This kind of Jiao Da made Jiao Yufeng feel warm again. Even though he had no idea about the girls in the wealthy family and felt that he was not from the same way, it would be difficult to say a direct rejection at this moment. This is a smile. He leaned close to Jiao Da's back, helped him massage his shoulders, and said slowly:

"As far as my family's situation is concerned, I have a muddy leg, and my life is too far away from that of the mansion. I'm not even an ordinary wealthy family. Can someone from a family like Jia's come to like it? Don't embarrass others, it can't be done well. Why offend others, uncle, let's let nature take its course, let it take its course."

"The situation? What's the situation? As far as my nephew's situation is concerned, I don't know how much better than those boys in the mansion. There are fields and houses and skills, so what's wrong? Of course, if there is a shop or something in more places, It's true that it sounds better to say it. If you have a hundred or ten acres, you can be regarded as a small landlord, right? Erlang, you still need to save up a family business. Only with a family business can a good wife have a show. You have to think this slave With a bad background and a family business, uncle tried to find you a child from a rich family, what do you think?"

Enjoying the filial piety of his nephew, Jiao Da was very happy, but Jiao Yufeng said that his family was not good, so he didn't want to. It's common sense that his son's family is good, although he also knows that the conditions are not very good , but this is not pleasant to hear, okay?So, Jiao Da disliked the lowliness of his family's bondage and encouraged Jiao Yufeng to work hard at the same time.Hearing that, Jiao Yufeng laughed,

"Okay, I'll save up the family business first. We're not in such a hurry anyway. How old am I? Even when I'm thirty, it won't be troublesome to marry again, man."

That's right, it's been five years since I spent it all at once, and it still sounds very pleasant to Jiao Da's ears. This level is a testament to Jiao Yufeng's ability.

"Yes, yes, is a good man afraid that he won't be able to marry a wife? Isn't it a joke. By the way, how much money do you have? Let's talk about it. A while ago, the Duke of the State said that he wanted to sell the fields of the stewards who ransacked the house. Well, it’s a hassle to save the odds and ends. Now the mansion has a little savings, and they’re all staring at this. If you have enough money, I’ll help you to find someone close to here. Buy some?"

Well, is there such a good thing?This cannot be missed.No matter how bad it is, it is not a barren land that can make the Jia family's stewards fancy, and it is estimated that they can make money if they get it.Not to mention the convenience and benefits of buying and selling inside the mansion, there is no pen, ink, money from the yamen, or money from middlemen.The land price must be the lowest in the market, which is a bargain.Thinking of this, Jiao Yufeng immediately became active, counting with his fingers.

"A while ago, I earned 14 taels from selling vegetables, and today I earned 15 taels, and I still had 10 taels from selling wild game in the Yamen. There should be 40 taels for odds and ends. Oh, yes, my group did it. I ordered bows and arrows, and nearly half of the silver has not been recovered. It is estimated that there will be 20 taels, which is 60 taels. Uncle, look..."

"Hey, you kid, it's good enough. The speed of saving money is almost as fast as that of your uncle and me. I just saved so much. I just found a 20-acre Zhongtian from the mansion and bought it. ..."

"Uncle, where did you buy Nakata? Why don't we buy one? It's also convenient for management."

"Just ahead, the village near the official road, over there... I guess there may not be any more, but the village next door seems to have a land deed. I took a look at it last time. If it wasn't for more, I would have told you to buy it a long time ago. , there are a full 18 mu. Even if the mansion is cheap, it will cost 4 taels per mu. In this way, it will cost 72 taels... It’s a bit short. In this way, I’m helping you collect some and buy it first. besides

. . . "

When these two talked about the fields, they forgot about the daughter-in-law, and all their minds went away from this benefit.That's right, Jiao Da is now a teacher, and he still goes hunting with him. The rewards for wages are incomparable to those in the past. They are of a higher level. With money, Jiao Da, whose career is rejuvenated, can't help accumulating family fortune. fiery?Plus the benefit of being cheap. . .And he is just a nephew like Jiao Yufeng, his own nephew saves money well, can he help with more planning?

Jiao Shibo, who had listened to the audience inside, knew that the increase in his family's wealth was imminent.It doesn't matter if you don't accumulate land for anything, this is the nature of our nation.
