Reborn Peasant Girl: I Rely on Carpentry as Minister of Industry

Chapter 156 The Haunted Mansion Paradise
From the small town to Suzhou Mansion, under normal circumstances, it takes fifteen days to travel by land, and twelve days to travel by water, but now, regardless of land or water, roads are blocked by floods so that most people cannot travel.

Only Jiang Changan's big boat could go upstream without any obstacles, and its speed was more than twice as fast as when others were going downstream.

The big ship passed by like a ghost in the rain, and the people along the way were all dumbfounded.

The south of the Yangtze River has been a water town since ancient times, with many rivers criss-crossing and criss-crossing, and the rain naturally follows. Flood disasters caused by excessive rain are almost a minor disaster every two years and a major disaster every three years.

However, this year's flood was a catastrophic disaster, which caught the people in the south of the Yangtze River who were accustomed to floods by surprise and suffered heavy losses.

After five days, the big ship did not stop halfway except for supplies.

We arrived at the port of Suzhou Prefecture at noon on the sixth day. The drainage works here were done well, but there was no flood into the city.

The passers-by on the road were busy, most of them looked eager, and it was obvious that they were not used to such a natural disaster.

"There are many depressions on the street, but it was bustling in the past." Cheng Dong sighed for a while.

"The prefectures and cities with good conditions are like this, but the counties or other places don't know how it is." I don't know what happened to their villages?

Cheng Nan is very worried about his family. Although there are many capable people in the organization, his family has an old mother with poor eyesight. There may be times when everyone is busy and can't take care of it.

Cheng Bei saw Cheng Nan's embarrassment and worry, and couldn't help saying, "We've been out for a long time, it's time to go home and have a look.

Changan, Shushen, where are you going?Do you really not consider visiting our village? "

The villagers would be very happy if the two young masters could be taken back. His village is too poor and needs a little God of Wealth like Jiang Changan.

"No, we still have things to do in Suzhou City." Li Shushen rebuffed straight away. Apart from business matters, they had to be fully armed.

Especially Jiang Chang'an, who was average in skill, needed protection and a weapon in order to break into a den of hundreds of ghosts like a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair.

"Okay then, let's leave it at that, there will be a time later." Cheng Nan also knew that Jiang Changan was not like an ordinary child.

They are even busier than ordinary adults, um, busy making money, making money every day, it's too enviable.

No, let's go, or they will try to rob the two children.

The four of them rode fast horses and bid farewell to Jiang Changan on the street.

"Look for an inn first." Li Shushen led the horse and walked out first. He seemed to be quite familiar with Suzhou City.

The four of them found a suitable inn without any effort, asked for the best room, and ordered another table of dishes.

Stewed chicken with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, Tibetan lamb, Ozao noodles and so on.

This was the most meal-like dish that Jiang Changan ate since he came to this world. There were many varieties, beautifully presented and delicious.

"The chef's skills have been presented at the state banquet." Li Shushen specially brought Jiang Changan here, knowing that she likes to eat, so let her eat the best.

Anyway, there is no shortage of money now.

Sure enough, Jiang Changan was very satisfied, "It's delicious!" It was much more delicious than the dishes in his previous life.

"Eat slowly, if you are not tired, you can go shopping later." Li Shushen said while serving Jiang Changan dishes.

Jiang Changan's eyes lit up, "You can have this. Along the way, I saw a lot of things to eat and play on the street. It's very interesting."

Li Shushen felt like shooting himself in the foot with a stone, "Shouldn't we investigate the market? Boss Jiang, we still have Yueguangjin business.

Su Jin is a first-class tribute, I thought you would be more interested.

There is a lot of cloth, and there are more gold and silver jewelry, and the styles are fashionable. Maybe we should spread the jewelry here.

You know, the organization's lair is only a few hundred miles away from here, and it's very convenient to go back and forth in a day on a fast horse. "

Although Li Shushen has no business experience, he also knows that in order to open up a market in a place, it must be escorted by powerful forces, otherwise it will be difficult to develop.

Jiang Chang'an paused, "You don't have to be so impatient, when did we go out without gaining anything?

Business is second, isn't our most urgent thing right now is weapons?Although I have a bow and crossbow, it is a hidden weapon, and I don't know what kind of test I am about to face.

So I still need a good dagger, and you need a good sword.

Didn't I promise to make you a soft sword last time?I already have an idea in my mind, and now I just need to buy back the materials to forge it myself. "

"I thought about it. Regarding the shady things like weapons, I originally planned to go to the black market. The materials you need may only be available in the black market."

No, wouldn't it be nice to go shopping during the day?
"You managed to convince me, so let's do it, let's find something delicious and fun first."

No one can resist the temptation to shop.

"Girl, can you make me a sword too?" Qingfeng's eyes became hot. Miss Jiang's products must be high-quality products, and he also needs a good sword.

"Of course, what sword do you need? Dandan, what weapon do you need?"

Chen Dan raised his head in a daze. In fact, she may not be as good at martial arts as the girl?What weapon do you need? "Golden needle?"

Whether it is medicine or poison, gold needles and silver needles are her nirvana.

"I want an epee. It's as big as a palm and as long as an arm. It has a blood groove, a reverse blade and a sharp blade. It's black, and it's best with a little pattern."

Qingfeng pursed his lips and smiled a little shyly. Isn't his request too high?

Li Shushen's face turned dark. Forging an epee is difficult in itself. If you still need to add patterns, why don't you go to heaven?

The heaviest metal is osmium, and the hardest metal is chromium, which together form the alloy material of the atomic bomb.

This Qingfeng is a real husband's choice, but, "The boss meets your requirements, remember to protect Li Shushen." Nothing can stop the boss.

"Hey, it's necessary, even if I don't have a sharp weapon, I still want to protect my master." Staying by Li Shushen's side these days is the happiest time Qingfeng has ever lived in his life.

"Okay, let's go shopping and wait for the materials to be bought. It's best to rent a house as a retreat. Let me concentrate on making weapons and use sharp weapons to help you have a bright future and a safe and smooth future."

This is another function of the murder weapon.

Li Shushen's soft sword is made of iron ore produced in Burma and forged into very elastic steel by secret methods, commonly known as Burmese steel.

If there is no such iron ore, Jiang Changan will have to prepare it himself.

Chen Dan's golden needle can be made into a rainstorm pear flower needle, which can be used as a medical tool to save people, and she can be used as a weapon to hurt people.

The four of them went out when they were full, anyway, they were taking a walk slowly, which happened to be a walk to digest food.

It is not raining outside, and the weather is cool and cool, which is the most suitable for going out for fun.

"We rent a house instead of buying a house. I suddenly thought of a good house that can be missed." Li Shushen suddenly remembered a strange thing from the past.

"I remember you once said that when there are minerals in the ground, red water like blood will ooze from the surface, right?" Li Shushen raised the corners of his lips. Now he can determine the real problem of that house.

"Oh! You mean to buy a 'haunted house'?" The ancients didn't understand chemical reactions, so didn't they attribute the phenomenon of seeping red water to blood?

Li Shu nodded deeply with a deep smile, "Yes, the haunted house must be very cheap, you have a way to deal with it, right?"

Jiang Changan also nodded sharply, "It is necessary, maybe we can buy less metal materials."

"Then, go to the yamen?"

"Go."

The two held hands and chatted in whispers. It didn't take long before they earned a house?
Qingfeng and Chen Dan were in a trance for a while after watching this coquettish operation, so why did Mr. Shushen know about things far away in the south of the Yangtze River?

Miss Chang'an is so erudite that it makes people numb.

In the yamen, the old document frowned when Li Shushen said that he wanted to buy Lejia's "Paradise".

"Why are you two children here to buy the house? What about the adults in the family?"

"What? Isn't 'Paradise' for sale? Is there a clear rule that children can't buy a house? Or are you afraid that we won't be able to pay for it?
It is said that it is a haunted house, how much will the official sell it for? "

Li Shushen looked very embarrassed, obviously the old man had good intentions, right?
Jiang Changan was speechless for a while, and quickly explained with a smile on his face, "My lord, we came from Cangwu Mansion on a study tour, and we are going to settle down in Suzhou Mansion, but when the roads are blocked by the flood, no one is selling houses, even the inns are full. up.

We can only do this badly, and we will slowly find a way to solve the problem of the house. "

The general idea is that living outside is expensive, but this haunted house is cheap and cost-effective.

Seeing that Jiang Changan spoke in an orderly manner, the old secretary's face looked a little better.

"Let me take you there to take a look first, and then decide whether to buy it or not after reading it."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Guan."

It's good to have a sweet mouth. The old document took his fellows with him and talked to them about Lejia's "paradise" along the way.

Lejia was originally one of the top ten wealthy merchants in Suzhou Prefecture, who started out as a jade business.

But ever since the bloody Paradise was built, unlucky things happened to Lejia one after another.

First, the owner of the Le family died of illness, and the business plummeted immediately. Then Mrs. Yuan Le remarried after she became a filial piety, and took away more than half of the family property.

In the current Le family, only one eldest daughter and one young son depend on each other, living in a crumbling jade shop.

"I'm not saying this to make you sympathize with the Le family siblings, but to show that this house is really bad, at least the feng shui is not good.

Do you understand? "The owner of a house with bad feng shui will be unlucky.

The old clerk took out the key and opened the 'paradise', and several people walked inside through the wall shadow.

When I looked up, I saw pools of bright red liquid in the middle of the yard. It really looked like blood stains splashed on it. The key point was that it came out of the ground.

The heavy rain washed away once, and it came again after a while.

In the past, when Le Jiazhu was still there, he dug the soil to a very deep place to explore, but found nothing.

But Jiang Changan used the system to scan, and his little face blushed with excitement. There are indeed mines, not many, but the species are rare, and they are still the kind of mineral sand.

Metals can be extracted from them without special screening, and it seems that someone specially transported them to bury them.

Le Jiazhu must have not understood the placer powder, so no matter how deep he dug, he couldn't find the reason.

Such places with red water oozing, there are in the front yard and in the back yard, which kind of echo each other. Jiang Changan doesn't understand Feng Shui, so he is not sure.

But she can solve the red water problem, then the house will be fine, right?

"Go ahead and buy it. I think there should be no blood in the house, and it can be used for people to live in." The house is very new, five-in-one in size, with no traces of people living in it, carved beams and painted buildings, small bridges and flowing water, and the scenery of the entire Suzhou garden is too beautiful to behold.

But the maintenance is not very attentive, and the overall feeling of being depressed is desolate. They will find someone to clean it up in the future. Jiang Changan decided to buy it after scanning it.

"Then buy it, sir, how much is it?" Li Shushen made the final decision.

The old clerk was dumbfounded. They are really weird children. They are not afraid of so much blood. They can't be some kind of pervert, right?

"1000 taels, do you really stop thinking about it?"

Only a fool would consider a 1000 two-five-entry mansion, right?Jiang Changan and Li Shushen shook their heads at the same time, not thinking about it.

Jiang Changan immediately took out a 1000-tael silver note, "Please, Grandpa Guan, give me a red deed." Even 1000 taels can't make a quadrangle courtyard, let alone a five-entry mansion.

"Alright then." What can I do after persuasion?Moreover, the Le family siblings had conflicts with their own mothers and had been suppressed for many years, making life difficult.

If you have these 1000 taels, you can solve your urgent needs.

The old clerk came with a seal, completed the formalities on the spot, handed over the key to the two, took the money and left.

Not long after this happened, the entire Suzhou government knew that two outsiders bought Lejia's Haunted Mansion Paradise.

The Le family siblings were astonished after receiving the banknotes. They probably didn't expect such a stupid person to buy a haunted house.

But Mrs. Yuanle Ding bit her silver teeth, and brought several servants to the door without stopping.

In the living room of Paradise, Mrs. Ding was sitting at the bottom. When she looked at the two children on the main seat, her brows were raised and she was very dissatisfied. "Did you buy Paradise? Or did your parents buy it? Could you please come and see me?" ?”

The glamorous woman supported her hair bun, and suddenly became a little careless.

Jiang Changan raised his eyebrows, asking for help from others, coming prepared and still being so arrogant, who would he ignore?

"Yes, we bought it, no adults."

Seeing this, Ding's tone became more relaxed. It was originally a joke between two children who had never seen the world, and now it's easy to handle.

"It's like this, you should know my identity, right?" The woman twisted the silk handkerchief, biting the tears that didn't exist in the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Changan was speechless for a while, she didn't know who this woman was, she started crying when she didn't know her well, and those who didn't know thought she was being bullied.

"I am the original owner of Paradise, and the owner of Lejia is my ex-husband. This place was originally our sweet home.
But there are unpredictable things in the sky, my husband died suddenly, leaving us orphans and widows
Paradise is what I miss about my husband, but my eldest daughter said it was her sad place, and she is going to sell the house, which is too ignorant.

But, I can't bear it, that's my only thought, hey.
Little master, little girl, can you return the house to me?I am willing to pay 2000 taels, how about giving you a smaller yard?

You see, anyway, there are bloodstains in the front and back yards, so no one can live there. Don't you know, Lejia has become more and more desolate because of this ominous phenomenon.

This house can't be lived in, and I can't harm you outsiders, right? "

Mrs. Ding can be said to be sensible and emotional, but the two children above and above are completely indifferent.
