She actually slept very peacefully that night, until the sound of clear snow came outside. When Zhou Banxia woke up, she found that the quilt had been rolled up by herself.

When I went to the study, the candles on the candlestick were all burned out.

It seems that it has just passed Mao hour (five o'clock), and I got up before dawn to read and memorize books and practice calligraphy. Now it is Mao chen (seven o'clock) and I have studied for at least an hour.

He found the cell phone that Gu Wenxuan had locked in the wooden box under the bookcase and looked at it. It was still six o'clock that was set before going to bed, the vibration had been cancelled, and there was no other record.

It's really deceiving.

When I opened the door, there was a vast expanse of white above, below, left and right.

My feet stepped on the snow, sinking in until they reached my ankles, making a crunching sound.

"Hey, that's interesting. You can wake up so early after lighting the Anshen Incense? You must have been deceived and your money was wasted." Gu Wenxuan held the book and laughed.

Do you know if you have some soothing incense? It's true that lies come out of your mouth.

Zhou Banxia smiled shyly, saluted Gu Erzhu and hurried to the kitchen.

Gu Erzhu couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that his daughter-in-law was a few steps away, he patted his son angrily and said, "I wonder if Sanya is so thin-skinned? She keeps saying everything."

What an injustice.

"Okay, keep memorizing your books. In less than a quarter of an hour, your mother will call for dinner."

Listen, going to school is great, now you don’t even have to do the snow clearing work. Zhou Banxia secretly thought about it and stepped into the kitchen. Sure enough, the breakfast was all ready.

"Slow down, I'll help you, don't rush." ​​Ma Shan glanced at the blushing Zhou Banxia in a funny way, "Here, you can set the dishes and chopsticks."

Ms. Liu didn't think that her old son had done anything wrong by lighting the incense. After all, her old daughter-in-law didn't grow up in the village. She was said to be a maid, but she looked like she was raised as a daughter-in-law.

This trip was tiring and the weather was freezing when I got home. Last night I stayed up late with my old son, which really hurt my body and bones, and I couldn't even buy any regret medicine.

Waiting for the eldest daughter-in-law to speak, Mrs. Liu smiled and said that it was your sister-in-law who cared about you and changed the subject. She mentioned that after eating the breakfast, she asked the two daughters-in-law to go to the front yard to sort out the books.

Unlike Ma Shan, yesterday when the oxcart was bringing things back, she heard her mother-in-law mention that the two bags were old books. Zhou Banxia had no idea about this.

At that time, her mother-in-law asked her to pick out the furniture to move into the west wing and asked her to stay in the west wing. When she heard about it, she couldn't help but be curious about what kind of books there were.

Mr. Liu didn't read it carefully at the time, but he had an idea of ​​what kind of books there were.

No matter how big Wufu Zhuangzi is, it is not a separate courtyard after all.

Although Mr. Wu pampered his only son when he was still alive, he must have attached great importance to his only son's studies, otherwise it would be impossible for him to even have a carefully decorated study room in Zhuangzi.

I couldn't help but raise a prodigal son. When Mr. Wu was here, he probably did a lot of things in front of others and another behind his back. There were many story books hidden in the study.

The serious storybooks are fine, but I'm afraid there might be some indecent illustrations in some of them.

I didn't want any of those, so I picked the books piled in the bookcase.

I just couldn't get them all back, so I picked out books that I obviously hadn't read much, including agricultural books, military books, laws, and a few miscellaneous books.

This mother-in-law is really surprising. Zhou Banxia wanted to ask Liu whether he already knew that candidates who passed the county examination would need to study a lot of such books in order to write good policy papers.

It seems that not only Grandma Zhou's life experience is a mystery, her mother-in-law's family is definitely not a small family who fled thousands of miles to settle here.

It was quite fast for the two of them to pack up the two bags of old books. Ma Shan was not illiterate, and it took them half an hour to finish them after the meal.

By this time, Ms. Liu had already gone out to have a tour with her sisters and agreed on the knotting work. She also brought back her sister-in-law, nephew and daughter-in-law.

The main hall was full of young and old ladies, and Gu Erzhu hid outside the gate to help his neighbors clear the snow on the road. They were chatting with each other in a lively manner.

When Ma Shan saw that her son's mother-in-law and sister-in-law came out to look for her without making any noise, she quickly pulled Zhou Banxia, ​​and Zhou Banxia directly pulled her into the east wing.

"My father has already inquired about it. These are the few pieces of land that are connected together. You can take a look first." Ma Shan didn't waste time. She walked in and quickly found the paper and handed it to Zhou Banxia.

Zhou Banxia took the paper and turned it over to see that it was full of handwriting, but not scrawled.

Start reading line by line. The field information is written in great detail.

On the paper, just as the sister-in-law said, there are several pieces of land connected together, and the location is good, next to Qinghe Village, and near the Majiazhuangzi, the sister-in-law’s natal family.

The most valuable thing is that these pieces of land are thirty-two acres together, which is more than the ten acres of dowry land each discussed before, but it is easy to take care of.

After silently counting the valuations noted above, I found that if all thirty-two acres were taken, the land in the middle of the land would actually cost less than three hundred taels of silver.

It’s the end of the year to buy fields. It’s easy to buy at this time. But when next spring comes, I won’t be able to find fields so close. I just don’t know, sister-in-law?

"Which piece do you want? I saw one and two pieces scattered around, but they were not in the village. It was pointless to buy them. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth for those acres of land.

It just so happens that these pieces of land are far away from my parents' village. At least there are people taking care of them in the past few days. It's a pity that I don't have enough money, otherwise I would buy them all. Do you like them? "

Zhou Banxia was about to speak, but Ma Shan was faster than her. It seemed that her sister-in-law was still rich. "Just pick the thirty-two acres you mentioned, and give me the extra."

Hearing this, Ma Shan was not surprised at all, but she still couldn't help but laugh.

She just likes to deal with people who understand, and she speaks and does things happily without being rude!

"There's no need to choose. Each of us will get half. I'll pay for twenty-two acres and you'll pay for ten acres. I'll give the harvest to my mother later. That's it. Let's go and take a look first -"

"Wait a minute, why do you have to pay twenty-two acres of silver? Either each of us will get half, or everyone will pay according to the land deed. Just wait a moment, and I'll get the silver."

Seeing Zhou Banxia leaving after saying this, Ma Shan quickly stopped him, "It's not too late to check and negotiate the price before bringing the money. There's no rush now. Okay, everyone will pay according to the land contract."

Sanya said this herself, and there was no rule that she couldn't pay twenty-two acres of silver. She still didn't believe that Sanya would dare to go back and forth for her to get one or two more acres of harvest.

"Are you going out now?"

"Yes. If you hadn't just arrived home, I would have told you early yesterday morning. We'd better make a decision early to avoid being robbed by someone.

Don't worry if we both leave, Mom can't handle it alone. With Dad here, nothing can go wrong. I even made an excuse, so I said you would accompany me in the county to collect rent. "

This can be!

She was thinking about how to go to the county town in advance as it would take at least three or two days to wait for shopkeeper Wang's reply. It would be hard to let her father-in-law drive a carriage to take her to the county town to buy someone!

It just so happens that there is a coachman in Majiazhuang! Zhou Banxia's eyes lit up, "Then what are you waiting for? Go early and come back early. I'll put on my boots and we'll go out immediately."
