Chapter 101

The first night of sleeping in the new house was not a good one for Yu Qingyu and others. The doors and windows in the house were slammed by the wind all night, which made the family wake up several times during the night.

The heart exploded with anger, and got up at Maoshi the next day, intending to go out and buy utensils to improve Feng Shui, but was persuaded by Qing Yu.

After breakfast, the family split into two groups, Zhuifeng and Hongtao went shopping, while Wenya Shi'an and Qingyu went to the busiest teahouse nearby - Hongyun Teahouse.

The teahouse is divided into two floors. The lobby on the first floor has a lot of passengers, and the private rooms on the second floor are suitable for conversations and have better privacy.

The three of Qingyu asked for a table in the middle of the first floor, ordered a pot of tea, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of melon seeds, and then "San Niangmu" chatted leisurely.

"The He family has done a lot this time, I think the Si family has been overwhelmed."

"I don't think so. The Si family is an aristocratic family. The He family only got rich in recent years. This starving camel is bigger than a horse. It may take a few years for the He family to overwhelm it."

"What kind of background, maybe it has been defeated long ago. Now the aristocratic family is not as good as before."

"But isn't the Si family one of the best in Yinzhou?"

"The Si family of the He family you are talking about has a feud?" Wen Ya interjected at the right time.

As for the tea house, everyone came here to chat and chat, so it's normal for you to intervene, so everyone is not surprised that Wen Ya joined.

"Is it a foreigner? Speaking of the Sihe family, although there is no feud, it is well known that the two families are opposed.

Ten years before the Si family, it was the richest man in Yinzhou, but in the past ten years, the He family has risen from the second-class wealthy household to the first-class, and even now sits on an equal footing with the Si family.

The He family is a rising star, and their ambitions are obvious. They definitely want to be the richest man in Yinzhou, so the Si family who stands in their way is an eyesore, so the He family opposes the Si family everywhere.

In the past, the He family must have pretended to have a lot of grandchildren in front of the Si family, but now that they have made a fortune, and the family is so rich, they dare to challenge the Si family. "

"Mr. He will curry favor with the government, and with the support of the government, isn't it sure that he is at the height of the sun?"

"Don't underestimate the background of the aristocratic family. Most of the gentry, landlords and merchants in Yinzhou City are related to the Si family."

Wen Ya smiled and asked again: "It's true that I just came to Yinzhou not long ago. Then why did the Si and He families you mentioned match up again this time?"

"In the cloth market, the two companies are competing for the cloth market, and there is a lot of trouble. I heard that both parties have invested more than 10 taels, and they are still pouring money into it. It depends on who can survive to the end.

But no matter who held on, this time there will be a lot of blood, and the internal injury is not serious. "

"The loser will probably be overwhelmed in the future."

For the two most famous families in Yinzhou, the common people are naturally happy to talk about it. For a while, the topic followed the battle between the Si and He families. Speaking of this land.

".To say that the He family is lagging behind now, this land counts as one item. The savings of several generations of the Si family, the title of the largest landowner in Yinzhou, the He family has not yet surpassed."

"Let's not talk about surpassing, it's not enough to be equal. As long as the Si family holds the land and doesn't sell it, what can the He family do? Other businesses can be grabbed, but this land... can't be snatched from the land. So the He family is still poor. A piece of the Si family."

"What's the use of just having land? Look at the weather this year. It's already April. There hasn't been a single rain this year. The fields in the countryside have dried up. I can't expect a good harvest this year."

"How did I hear that the He family is secretly annexing other small landlords?"

This is new, no one has heard of it, and everyone asked to elaborate on it for a while.So the man continued: "One of my cousin's neighbors' sister married to the country, and that family is a tenant, and the tenant is the He family's land.

I heard that the He family has recently raised the rent again, oppressing the tenant farmers and preventing them from renting land other than the He family.The He family has tens of thousands of hectares of land and so many tenants. In this way, the other small landlords will be miserable.

The land is desolate, so it can only be resold, but who will buy it?Small landlords are also landlords, and the land at hand is at least a hundred acres. Who can afford it for ordinary people?
What's more, this year's severe drought, even if they have money, no one is willing to buy it. If you have that spare money, it's better to use it for other businesses.Another one, with the big head of the He family, no one else dared to buy it. "

"So the land can only be sold to the He family?" Someone asked curiously.

"Otherwise? This old man is also ruthless. While suppressing the tenant farmers to let the small landlords fail, he also used the sky dry as an excuse to lower the price. I heard that good land was suppressed for five yuan per mu."

After hearing this, everyone sighed, and some people complained angrily: "This is too hard, the government doesn't care?"

Someone sneered, "Why does the government care about this? Anyway, the land belongs to the landlords themselves, and the government only cares about the official land."

"Where's the Si family? Why doesn't the Si family buy it?" Someone asked curiously.

"After all, the Si family is not as good as it used to be. Now that they have exhausted all their skills in fighting with the He family in the cloth market, there is no time to take care of these things."

The crowd was still chattering and discussing, and there was a lot of melon seed husks in front of Qingyu. When Xiao Er came to refill some new tea, Qingyu said, "Aniang, let's go."

When the three of Qingyu went back, Zhufeng and Hongtao were spitting with the carpenter in a carpentry workshop in the market.

Zhuifeng couldn't be more sincere, "Boss, we will buy it sincerely. You can tell me the real price. As long as the price is right, I will pay for it immediately."

The carpenter boss couldn't be more determined, "It really can't be less, not even a single copper coin can be less."

"It costs 25 taels per door, it's too expensive for you." Heart continued.

The boss of the carpenter was also impatient, and his tone was quite irritable, "I have said many times, this is a rich family, and it is nothing more than that used in the palace.

Take a look, the pattern, the wood, and the luster are all top-grade. The mahogany alone is worth 15 taels of silver, not to mention the wages.

Mahogany is hard, and it is very easy to crack when planing and sawing. A single piece of mahogany can be used for this door.If you look at this door again, there is no crack inside or outside, not even a wooden thorn.

And this woody fragrance, you can smell it, you can smell it from far away, this kind of top grade, I sell you 25 taels is considered cheap. "

In the end, the carpenter boss kicked him out, "Go away if you don't buy, don't delay my other business."

Zhuifeng and Hongtao faced each other, Hongtao gritted her teeth, "Are you really sure you don't need to seek good luck and avoid evil? Your family will be destroyed in the near future. Don't regret it when it comes to an end."

The carpenter owner's face darkened, and he said to Chasing Wind: "Children speak freely, but adults don't teach them well. Seeing that you are still literate, you have read the holy book in vain."

Zhu Feng raised his forehead, glanced at Heart, and said to the carpenter owner, "Then you leave the door for me, and I will come back when I have money."

The carpenter didn't speak, but he didn't refuse.

"Father and daughter" Yanyan left.

When they got home, the three of Qingyu had already gone back first, and Zhufeng arranged the things in the market, with a tired face,
".All kinds of good things are said, but the price is quite a lot. Even if it is less, how much less can it be? A door of twenty or so taels is enough for our rent for half a year."

Heart is also very regrettable: "I have found so many houses, but his house is going to be in bad luck, but he just won't listen. That door is really good, and it's perfect for changing the atmosphere."

She took out another bunch of things, ranging from potted plants to window paper, and everything else, "These things are almost ready, and the door is missing. Sister Sect Master, is there any way to buy that door cheaply?"
