Jiaohua

Chapter 706 A Group of Girls (Part [-])
There is a vast tea garden in the back mountain of Qingxiang Village.

Along the water flow to the west of the tea garden, a Taoist temple with a large area appears.

It is said to be a Taoist temple, but it is actually more like an earth temple.

In addition to Emperor Shennong, there are Sanqing Daoist and Liuren Xiaoyao Daoist in the temple.

There are cleanly folded paper candles and brand new river lanterns under the incense table, and the offering fruit cakes and flower plates on the incense table are fake.

In the age of famine, I still couldn't eat at one bite, so I had to put some fake things on it.

Zhan Jiuye specially invited Xia Zhaoyi here to discuss the lease of Yamada.

In order to appear grand, Zhan Jiuye also asked people to go back and bring several copies of the Tangzhou jade version that Zhan Qiye had collected.

The sun at noon is extremely bright, the mountains and fields are open and the flowers and trees are lush, and at the end of the sky, white clouds roll over the undulating mountains, and flocks of big birds flap their wings.

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Jiuye stood under the eaves of the Taoist temple gate.

The breeze blows the girl wearing a long gown, a slightly neutral style, light blue and moon white, like a very delicate scholar.

But it's not like a weak scholar, or a young official who has power in his hands, but he is more elegant and gentle, and less youthful and domineering.

All her hair was tied up with bamboo hairpins, her forehead and neck were smooth and fair, dazzlingly white.

Zhan Jiuye stood beside her with his hands behind his back, listening to her seriously.

The number of employees, the size of the field, and the rent and conditions of the lease have basically been negotiated.

In terms of manual commissions, Zhan Jiuye must strive for the maximum for the villagers.

I thought the girl was a talkative and open-minded person, but I didn't expect her to start haggling.

The way of bargaining is completely different from those in the village. She smiled lightly, analyzing funds, analyzing equipment, talking about the current situation, and the limitations of manpower.

Zhan Jiuye discovered that human knowledge can really be used as a weapon to directly make you speechless.

You simply don't know how to negotiate where you haven't been involved.

In the end, the two repeatedly dragged and bargained, but Zhan Jiuye was still pressed back by half of the price by the girl.

"I've met an opponent," Zhan Jiuye sighed, "Everything you talk about is beneficial to you. I've never heard of it before. The minimum rent for Yamada is three months, but it's three years for others."

"The current situation is turbulent, and I don't want to." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Zhan Jiuye waved his hand and changed the subject: "Miss Ali, look at those birds."

Xia Zhaoyi looked up.

The big birds in the distant sky spread their wings across the mountains and fields, and flew towards them, quickly passing the sky above their heads.

Faster than the birds is the wind blowing from the side of the mountain.

"Over there, it's actually Congxin. Congxin is great." Zhan Jiuye said.

"Ah."

"Miss Ali, now that the business is over, tell me about the history of those mines in Congxin." Zhan Jiuye looked at the girl.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "It turns out that Zhan Jiuye left me to listen to the story."

"Let's take it for granted," Master Zhan frowned, "To tell you the truth, I studied hard for decades in order to gain fame and revive my Zhan family. Who would have guessed that the sky would turn it around, and my At that time, I was going south to study in Muzhou. If my elder brother had not asked some of his friends from Muzhou to escort me all the way, I would have died in another country. Miss Ali, I am a blunt genius. The conversation with you last night was an eye-opener. The girl is extremely enlightened, the narrative is vivid and easy to understand, concise and clear, and Zhan has read books for ten years."

"It will take three days to burn the jade, and it will take seven years to debate. The conversation last night was less than an hour. How can Master Zhan believe me?"

"No, girl Ali is as comfortable as she is at leisure. She must have come from a noble family. There are no generations of wealth and cultivation, so I can't talk like you."

As he said that, Master Zhan raised his hands and cupped his fists: "Miss Ali, the village is so trivial and everything is exhausting. Why don't I want to be like this bird, soaring to the high sky and the wide sky?"

Xia Zhaoyi's smile deepened, and he turned his head to look at the cloud: "I will be very busy in the future. If Zhan Jiuye wants to listen to stories, I don't think I will have time to spare, but I have brought some books. If Zhan Jiuye is interested , I can borrow it from you."

"Wonderful!" Zhan Jiuye said happily, "Thank you, Miss!"

The content of the contract, Zhan Jiuye handed over to Feng Changshi beside him.

Lao Tong and Zhi Changle took the initiative to choose the manpower.

Xia Zhaoyi stayed in the Taoist temple of Qingxiang Village all afternoon.

In terms of faith, she actually didn't, and neither did Master.

Xia Zhaoyi doesn't believe in Shennong the Great, Sanqing Daoist and Liuren Xiaoyao Daoist enshrined in the temple.

But if she does not believe in ghosts and gods, it is difficult for her to explain herself at the moment, which is really contradictory.

The sky was filled with gold from the setting sun, the clouds were dyed, and it was as hot as a fire. A few girls who had finished their farm work quietly poked their heads outside the gate of the Taoist temple, looking carefully.

"Miss Ali?" Lin Shuanglan called out.

A Zeng Jishi left behind by Zhan Jiuye recognized her, beckoned her to come over, and pointed towards the main hall.

"Come on!" Lin Shuanglan asked her sisters to follow her.

"Miss Ali," Zeng Jishi entered the hall, "Master Lin's daughter is here."

Xia Zhaoyi was drawing a picture, but he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and said calmly, "Yes."

Zeng Jishi wanted to ask if she would be disturbed, but Lin Shuanglan behind her had already stepped over the threshold: "Miss Ali!"

Noticing that there was more than one person coming, Xia Zhaoyi put down his pen and looked up.

Lin Shuanglan brought two in the morning, and now she has six, and the one in the morning is missing.

It wasn't big at all, but the land called the "Main Hall" seemed crowded in an instant.

"Oh," Lin Shuanglan yelled, "Miss Ali, you are busy!"

"Not busy," Xia Zhaoyi said, "What is Miss Lin looking for from me?"

"Uh, I don't want to see anyone else," Lin Shuanglan walked over carelessly, "Miss Ali, how about I will call you Ali from now on, and you will call me Da Lanzi!"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Okay, then call me Ali."

"Come, come!" Lin Shuanglan greeted the sisters behind her, "Don't be dumbfounded, introduce yourself to A Li!"

Xia Zhaoyi turned his eyes to look at them.

The six peasant girls opened their bright eyes and looked closely at this girl Ali who just came yesterday and caused a storm in the whole Qingxiang Village.

Bai Wuniang had seen her in the morning, and this time she got closer, and said a little cautiously, "Ah Li is so pretty...so white."

"She is Bai Wuniang, and I am her younger sister, Bai Liuniang!" said a girl beside her.

"I grew up with Da Lanzi," said the fattest girl, "My name is Feng An'an, Miss Ali, you are so pretty."

"My name is Tu Xiaoxi." The thinnest girl said calmly, looked at Xia Zhaoyi again, and looked away uncomfortably.

"It's your turn," Lin Shuanglan looked at the two girls next to her, "Hurry up!"

"She is my cousin, named Wang Pan," Feng Anan introduced one of the girls, and then pointed to another girl, "This is Liu Yining, she will not be able to play with us soon!"

　Thank you Hua Lizi for your reward~!
