Chapter 7 Leasehold title, skyrocketing

Tan Zhixu's exposed eyes were so dazzling that one couldn't help but feel convinced.

"Is what the lady said true?"

The leader, a bearded man, stood up. He was obviously the backbone of the group.

Tan Zhixu nodded, "It's absolutely true."

She could understand the mood of the farmers. In the past, a master ran away with the money, and then there was someone who wanted to take over so quickly. She was still a girl. It was such a coincidence.

What's more, they have been walking around a lot in the past few days, and all the farmers' business owners have closed their doors.

Nowadays, big families want to make a living by other means and look down on their farmers.

"A-Liang, what do you think? How about we..." just sign with this girl?
If they don't sign, they will all starve to death next month if they don't get all the guarantees.

The bearded A Liang stood in front of Tan Zhixu in a dilemma, "If Miss can ensure that all of us in Zhuangzi live a good life, we will all agree!"

As soon as he said these words, the people behind him all focused on Tan Zhixu.

She has a thin figure, picturesque features, and extraordinary bearing.She has a posture that makes people willing to surrender. Such a beautiful woman is definitely not an ordinary person.

Looking back at the longing, poor, and praying eyes, Tan Zhixu pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, everyone, if I have a mouthful of food, you will have a mouthful!"

Her powerful words made the farmers' eyes shine with light.

The previous master signed the land deed, which was determined by year, and wages were paid separately.Now, while the private land has not been completely taken over by the government, we should act quickly.

In order to achieve a long-term co-tenancy and employer-employer relationship, Tan Zhixu bought all the land without hesitation.

Instead, she purchased fifty acres of land and signed the title deeds for the other fifty acres. After a year, when the farmers trusted her, she bought them together.

Of the [-] acres of land purchased, [-] acres are used to grow rice, [-] acres are used to grow cotton, the other five acres are planted to fruits and vegetables, and the [-] acres that are leased are entirely planted to wheat.

As for the seeds, she sent someone to deliver them in the past two days, and she also paid them part of the labor in advance.

Although the farmers were puzzled by Tan Zhixu's arrangement, they all agreed.

After the farm matter was settled, Tan Zhixu followed Gu Yu outside, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The sun is setting in the west, and smoke is curling up.

Tan Zhixu shook a few taels of silver in his purse and smiled, "Gu Yu, I'm going to treat you to a big dinner today!"

She smiled wantonly, and Gu Yu followed behind and shook his head, "Miss, you are really weird."

People usually become unhappy after spending money. Her daughter was worried about how to spend the money at first, but after she spent all the money, she ended up smiling happier than anyone else.

"Little girl, you will know how smart I am, young lady!"

She smiled and blinked when she suddenly noticed someone squatting under the trees not far away.

"Gu Yu."

Tan Zhixu shouted softly.

After being a master and servant for so long, Gu Yu immediately understood what she meant and followed Tan Zhixu's gaze.

There is indeed a person. If you follow his figure, you will see that his triangular eyes and sharp mouth and monkey cheeks look like the Shuanzi in the eldest lady's courtyard.

"Gu Yu, let's go to Tianxiang Tower!"

Tan Zhixu deliberately amplified his voice. After the two got on the carriage, the man followed him as expected.

"Miss, what should I do?"

During these days, Gu Yu was often frightened, fearing that the person behind him was up to no good.

Fear appeared on Gu Yu's face, while Tan Zhixu's expression was calm. Zhou didn't dare to kill her yet.

There was a lot of time fighting between them.

"Let's go."

Tan Zhixu gave instructions and the driver continued to drive the cart.

Guyu pretended to be calm and sat in the carriage, but his trembling eyebrows betrayed his inner worries.Lifting the curtain, Tan Zhixu Rumo's eyes looked into the distance.

Three or two farmers were walking back with bamboo baskets on their backs and hoes on their shoulders.

Their diligent figures combined with the sunset are incredibly beautiful.

In her previous life, she was bound to a deep house by too many etiquette, justice and shame, and she was bound to a merchant by hundreds of mouths in the Hou family.

Where have I ever calmed down to appreciate the smoke of fireworks and enjoy the leisurely passing years?

Just looking at it, Tan Zhixu suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far away. The man was standing in front of a farmer's yard with dignity.

He was wearing simple coarse clothes, his thin lips were pursed naturally, and his facial features were handsome. He naturally took the woodcutter from an old man's hand. Even though he was dressed like this, he could not hide his nobility.

It's him, Gu Huaijing.

Tan Zhixu stared for a long time, until the man seemed to notice something, and when he came to her position, he suddenly lowered the curtain, and she sat up straight.

Why is Gu Huaijing here?
Thinking of his previous life, his official career was smooth and he rose rapidly. I had never heard of him having any interactions with farmers.

Tan Zhixu frowned, remembering that Gu Huaijing gave her a handful of millet during the famine.

In a situation where food was so tight, that handful of millet porridge kept her and Guyu alive for three days!
Could it be that there was something behind Gu Huaijing that she didn't know about?
With doubts in mind, when Tan Zhixu opened the curtain again, there was no trace of Gu Huaijing anywhere.Only the bastard who followed not far or near behind...

Tan Zhixu frowned, went around the road to Tianxiang Tower, and asked the coachman to go down and buy a roast chicken.

Fortunately, nothing major happened along the way. When Gu Yu followed Tan Zhixu home with the roast chicken in hand, he subconsciously looked back.

"Miss, that person is missing!"

Tan Zhixu nodded, "I'm gone for now. I'll be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yu frowned. Could it be that the second master was having a dream again?
After cutting the roasted chicken and bringing it to the table, Gu Yu swallowed his saliva, "Miss, Lao Li's roasted chicken is more delicious than the dishes at Tianxianglou!"

Yes.

But it was this roasted chicken that I didn’t eat even a few in my previous life until Gu Yu’s death.

Tan Zhixu saw that Gu Yu was greedy, so he picked up the chicken leg and handed it to her, "Here, eat."

As long as she is here, the chicken roasting will be enough from now on.

Guyu's eyes sparkled, "Miss, I'll eat too."

Tan Zhixu didn't say anything, but focused on the entrance of the courtyard.Guyu took a bite of the fresh and tender chicken, and when she was about to speak, she was confused by the fragrance.

"Second Madam, the old lady has summoned you."

Zhou's maid Lianxiang walked in disdainfully. She glanced at the roast chicken on the table, raised her head in disdain, and raised her nostrils to the sky, obviously not taking the two of them seriously.

"Why don't you bow to my lady when you see her!"

Guyu placed the half-eaten chicken drumstick in a bowl and stood up to protect Tan Zhixu.

Lianxiang snorted coldly, "It's not because the old lady is urging me. My wife also has something urgent to ask for."

With such a forced excuse, Gu Yu blushed, and Tan Zhixu smiled, "Follow the authority in urgent matters, Miss Lianxiang's attitude, I naturally want to talk to my sister-in-law, so that she can praise you, right?" "

After she said these words, Lianxiang's expression changed a little, and she lowered her head in a hurry, "What the Second Madam said is that Lianxiang is not sensible, so she will let the Second Madam punish her."

Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction. If Lianxiang had the foresight, if the young lady told the eldest lady that she was so rude, she would definitely get a slap in the face!
Tan Zhixu smiled and said, "Gu Yu, let's go, the old lady is waiting over there."

She had never experienced this in her previous life, so she wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhou's Gourd sold.

Meticulously carved, interlocking pillars, purple pearlescent gauze danced in the wind, and Mrs. Song was reclining behind the gauze curtain.

Ms. Zhou was wearing a rose-red brocade dress, with unique hair on her hair, and was looking at her with unknown meaning.

Tan Zhixu took a step toward the door and said, "Kneel down!"

Mrs. Song's majestic voice came over.
