Chapter 115

Of course, the gifts in return also flew to the Luo family like snowflakes, and the warehouse was almost full.

Xi'er looked at the house and fell into deep thought, should I build another house?It doesn't seem to be a problem to vacate this house and let shopkeeper Fang and the others live in the shop.

As soon as she had this idea, she immediately went to see Manager Liang.

He thought that Xi'er came to him to ask for a cow, "Girl, the cow won't come until next spring, it's too cold now"

"I know, I'm not looking for you to ask about cattle"

"That is?"

"Look around town to see if there is a suitable place"

"Huh? Buying land again"

"Well, the living place at home is too small, I want to build a three-entry house,"

"Like the mayor's house?"

"It's even better than his house, please help me hire a master to design it,"

"What about the occupied land?"

"It's fine within fifty acres"

"Leave it on me, haha, I just said that I am free again, and you will live, but this matter will have to pass the year, and it is not easy to find someone before the year"

"So that means there is land?"

"Yes, it's just across from your workshop shop, side by side with the mayor's house, 36 acres, how about it?"

"It's just him, it's very convenient to guard the ground and the workshop"

"Then I will leave this land?"

"Well, I'll pay you a deposit of 1000 taels, and I started looking for someone to design it years ago"

"Well, Miss Xi'er, I have to tell you something?"

"Come on, what's the point of being polite between us?"

"Those pictures designed by masters cost money"

"How many?"

"At least one picture is 100 taels of silver. If the requirements are high, it will be higher. When the Luo family farm was built, that person asked for a design fee of 100 taels."

"Within 1000 taels, you decide,"

"Hey, with your words, everything is easy to handle, just look forward to spring."

Xi'er left with a smile on her face, the house is really crowded now, and there is no room for anyone to live in, so it's time to change to a bigger house.

She didn't tell Mrs. Luo and Ji Kang about this, she wanted to surprise them.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, there were snowflakes in the sky again. Seeing that the sky is so overcast, it is estimated that there will be another heavy snowfall.

Even in such weather, it still didn't stop the enthusiasm of small traders, and those rich kids who came out to enjoy the scenery and have fun.

Huaishu Town is full of people coming and going every day. At this time, the red berries have been sold to five taels of silver per catty, and the wholesale is three taels. The daily picking of red berries in the five greenhouses cannot keep up with the sales.

In order to batch the goods earlier, they waited at the door of the shop before dawn.

Donglai and Qiuye were afraid that they would freeze, so they prepared hot soup for them early in the morning, so that they could have a sip of warm soup when they entered the shop.

Xiao Jian was even more busy. He and his father were busy looking at the ledger, and after reading it, they had to hold a meeting with the shopkeepers of each shop to issue tasks for the new year.

At the same time, they also have a lot of clients and friends, and at the end of the year, they have to express that they have almost no free time.

It was dark on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and shopkeeper Xu sent someone to invite Xi'er and Ji Kang. When they arrived, the room was almost full of people.

Shopkeeper Su, Xiao Jian and his wife saw them coming, so shopkeeper Xu hurriedly ordered the waiters to serve the food.

"Haha, it's going to be a holiday soon. I've been working for a year, so why don't I get together?"

"Yeah, brother Xu made a lot of money this year, right?"

"Thanks to this girl, the noodles are delicious, the rice is delicious, and the vegetables are delicious. My Xiangmanyuan has become a famous restaurant in the county. Whoever passes by the door must stay and order a few dishes to eat."

"You've never lost money before."

"That's right, I'm earning more now. It's all because of this girl's blessing"

"Don't talk about it, it's the most affordable if you give me some money." Xi'er looked at the table of dishes and swallowed.

"You, you always have a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, tell me about this town, have you ever helped anyone?"

"It's just a coincidence"

"I won't quarrel with you, I can't say no to you, today we eat pot, it's all from our generation, the old man didn't invite you"

"Eating meat at night is not easy to digest, the few of us are just right"

Shopkeeper Xu specially reserved half a small fat sheep for the chef to cut into thin slices of meat, and all kinds of fresh vegetables were also approved from Luo's shop. A treatment that is much cheaper than that of small vendors.

These few families all know and are very grateful. The relationship is so close, it is not easy to say polite words, just keep everything in mind.

While they were having a lively meal, the cook from the Luo family came and said, "Miss, young master, please go home and have a look. A girl came to our house and said she was looking for you, Miss."

"Find me?"

Xi'er couldn't help thinking of the girl she rescued that day, and her face turned cold.

"Go, go back and have a look"

Xiao Jian and his wife also hurriedly put on their coats. At this time, everyone stopped eating and followed Xi'er to Luo's house.

In the living room, Mrs. Luo was sitting at the head, looking at the kneeling girl and shaking her head helplessly.

Seeing her daughter, Mrs. Luo was about to speak to her, but was stopped by Xi'er's eyes.

When Xi'er looked at the girl, sure enough, it was the person who saved that day.

She didn't ask the girl to get up, and she didn't speak, but sat aside. At this time, Xiao Jian and the others all came, and they sat aside without humming. Zhou Nanny saw it and went to quietly make tea for everyone. Xian put a cup of hot tea by his hand.

Xi'er winked at Qiao Shi, and Qiao Shi looked at the girl on the ground.

"There are several women in this room, who rescued you?"

The girl raised her head, took a careful look at several people, and pointed at Xi'er.

"This is the girl"

"Oh, but she never told us that she saved anyone"

"It's like this. I passed out that day and was sent to the hospital by this girl. After waking up, the people in the hospital gave me a few taels of silver, saying it was from my savior.
With those few taels of silver, I hurried home to buy rice grains, and the family got through the difficulties. After I came back, I found the people in the hospital, so I could arrest them, and I asked them to draw a portrait, so I recognized him. The appearance of a benefactor.

After many inquiries, I found out that the benefactor is from this town, and then I took the portrait to inquire in the town, and finally found this place. "

"Oh? How did you faint that day?"

"My family lives in Jingkou Village, ten miles south of the city. I am the eldest daughter at home, and my name is Hua Ruyue. My parents are sick and have no money to buy medicine in bed. My mother asked me to take a silver hairpin to the county town and sell it. I ran into Jie Cai on the way. Yes, they knocked me out and took my stuff."

Xi'er "tsk tsk" twice, "It's such a good-looking person, it's a pity that I only stole your things, why don't you sell you, you are much more valuable than that silver hairpin."

Although the words are not nice, they get to the point.

After hearing Xi'er's words, the girl hurriedly defended, "Maybe it's because I'm so close to the county town, I'm afraid of meeting other people."

"Okay, needless to say, Jingkou Village, right?"

"Yes, benefactor"

"You don't come to my house during the day, you pick this time to come, do you want me to keep you?"

"No, no, I came here on foot, that's why I arrived at this point, I just want to thank the girl for her great kindness"

"You're welcome, I don't admit that I saved you, and I don't need any reward from you, so I'll drop the money that day and hit you, you go home soon?"

Xiao Jian spoke at this time, "Yes, go home quickly, I will send some guards to take you back."

Mrs. Luo hurriedly got up, "Wait a minute, I have a few sets of old clothes here, and I will ask the cook to bring her some food."

After a while, Mrs. Luo packed a big bag of clothes. As for the food, Xi'er didn't give it up. She took out a five taels of silver from the purse, and gave it to Hua Ruyue in front of everyone.

"Out of my house, I can't find it again in the future. I don't like trouble, do you understand?"

"Yes Yes"

Hua Ruyue took those things and left, Xiao Jian also went out together, Xi'er asked the cook to make a bowl of noodles by herself.

While eating, Xiao Jian said, "The guards are delivering it, I'll ask them to ask more carefully."
