Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 642
Autumn comes and winter goes, another year has passed in a blink of an eye.

Because of the excellent business of the wine shop and wine shop, Guan Wen made a lot of money by relying on this business, and the Guan family's family fortune became stronger and stronger.

Li Xin had a great time counting the silver. When Guan Wen came home that day, he whispered to Guan Wen: "We have harvested the grain in winter, and with the help of Mr. Niu, there is still a lot of grain left after paying the grain tax... Our family One of the granaries was expanded, and the rest were transported to your wine shop in the town. There is a lot of silver at home."

Guan Wen laughed: "Just hold the money and be happy every day."

"Are you making fun of me?" Li Xin squeezed Guan Wen lightly, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face: "The family is indeed in a good situation, and I have at least 2 taels of silver in my hand..."

As he spoke, his voice became softer: "Most of the money is in the bank, and I don't feel at ease keeping the rest at home..."

"It's okay, didn't you hide it well?" Guan Wen said noncommittally, paused and said, "Xin'er, I have something to discuss with you."

Li Xin asked while arranging his clothes, "What's the matter?"

"I took a fancy to a small yard in the town, and I think it's pretty good. There are seven or eight houses with a patio in the middle. Just in time, the owner's family is moving out, and the price of the house is moderate." Guan Wen paused when he said this. : "You used to say you liked living in the village, but now it's not very convenient to live in the village. There are people taking care of the fields, so you don't need to worry too much. Our family has some influence in the village. I don't care about this mountain. Yezhao Lizheng was assigned to us, and there are many helpers at home, so there can be no mistakes."

Guan Wen said that for this sake, it is obvious that he wants Li Xin to go and settle in the town with him.

Li Xin was reluctant to part with this place, but what Guan Wen said was not unreasonable.

Guan Wen's business is getting bigger and bigger, she can't still let Guan Wen come back from town every other day.There should be a home in town.

Li Xin hesitated a little, and said softly: "You even took care of the yard, I don't have anything to say... It is true that I should make a home in the town. But... Ah Wen, I still like the environment in the village. I go to the town every day. Just stay in the small courtyard, don't go outside the gate...I don't like it."

Guan Wen smiled relievedly: "Go out if you want, isn't Mrs. Shen also doing business abroad? No one said that she is wrong. Besides, it's not that there are no women in the town who come out to be directors. Ordinary wives and young ladies often Going out for a walk in the street. It's not a big deal."

Li Xin was slightly relieved, and said: "Since you have said so, then I have no other opinions. After all, the family here wants to keep some people, and there is no need to bring too many people to the town."

"Yeah." Guan Wen said, "You can arrange this yourself. I'll take you to see the small courtyard I like tomorrow. If you think it's good, then I'll negotiate the price with the owner. Buy this yard into your hands."

Li Xin naturally nodded.

After discussing this matter, Guan Wen leaned into Yoyo's small wooden bed.

Youyou was dressed like a chubby ball, holding her hands on the edge of the wooden bed and grinning at Guan Wen, with a smirk on the corner of her mouth.

Guan Wen couldn't like it so much, he carried Yoyo out of the wooden bed, sat back down again, supported Yoyo's armpit with his hands and lifted her up, causing Yoyo to scream repeatedly, and her calves kicked wildly dishonestly. .

Li Xin looked back at their father and daughter, and smiled at Guan Wen: "I have never seen anyone dote on their daughter in such a way, you really spoiled her into a bad temper."

Guan Wen laughed and said: "Yuyou is good, don't female dolls have to be pampered?"

Li Xin paused, and when it came to doting on her daughter, she remembered something: "Ah Wen, have you heard about Sun Xique?"

"Oh?" Guan Wen frowned: "What happened to her?"

"Isn't Sun Xique just spoiled... Well, I won't say that, but I heard a news a while ago that Sun Xique took care of her children and threw her daughter into the lotus pond, saying that her daughter is ignorant Yeah...it was quite a big deal at the time, and Sun Pei even beat up Sun Xique because of it."

Guan Wen frowned suddenly: "Throw my daughter into the lotus pond?"

"Chuang'er is only a little older in her family. What does such a small child know? It seems that she is walking with Chuang'er by the lotus pond. Chuang'er asks her what to buy. Sun Xique is upset and scolds Chuang'er. Chuang'er is also a small person, so he used his temper, but Sun Xique became irritable, so he pushed Chuang'er, and there is a lotus pond next to him, so why don't we just let Chuang'er fall into the lotus pond?"

Li Xin shook his head again and again when he talked about this matter: "Fortunately, the child was rescued, but he was caught with the cold. However, he was quite frightened, so he hid when he saw Sun Xique."

Guan Wen hugged Yoyo in his arms, with a sullen look on his face: "No matter what, I can't vent my anger on the child, that little girl was born by herself anyway."

Ever since Sun Xique recruited a husband and became a serious couple with Diao Laoyao, Sun Pei confined him at home.Since the Sun family divided the family, the situation is getting worse day by day. Man said that he doesn't have the energy to show off in the lotus village before, and even the food and drink now are just squandering on the old.Sun Pei and the Zhai family kept Sun Xique by their side, and their family only had two laborers, Sun Pei and Diao Laoyao.Sun Pei is old, and may not have been in the field for many years; and Diao Laoyao is a lazy master, and it is even more impossible to go to the field.So their family is just sitting and eating now.

Li Xin looked at Yoyo, and couldn't help but sigh when thinking of Chuang'er's situation.

It was just a child, and it was indeed a crime to meet such a cruel mother.

"We don't care about other people's affairs." Guan Wen said: "How the Sun family teaches the girl has nothing to do with us." As he spoke, Youyou must learn well, if you let your parents worry about it in the future, your father will also beat you. Yoyo."

Naturally, Yoyo didn't quite understand, she just grinned at Guan Wen and scratched Guan Wen's face with her hands.

Guan Wen also let her catch him.

After a few days, Guan Wen took Li Xin to the town to look at the yard.

Yang'er followed, and Li Xin took Qingya and went with Youyou in his arms.

The place Guan Wen likes will naturally be the place where his family of four will live in the future. Youyou can't express any opinions when he is young, but Yang'er is getting bigger and bigger, so he knows whether he likes it or not.

The carriage drove to the gate of the small courtyard without stopping.

Li Xin got out of the carriage, and first took a look at it as a whole. It was indeed, as Guan Wen said, an exquisite and unique courtyard.It's not too big, but it still has some weight when viewed from the outside.

Guan Wen picked up the three of them, mother and son, and stretched out his arms to hug Yoyo, leading Li Xin and Yang'er to go inside.

"It's a yard with three entrances and three exits. The family left in a hurry, and didn't take away the furniture and everything, but left it to the buyer." Guan Wen introduced to Li Xin as he walked: "Their housekeeper is also here, later My son is waiting at Ermen to help us explain."

Li Xin doesn't dislike this place, nor does he particularly like it, but it does look comfortable to live in.The butler spoke eloquently and spoke nicely. He introduced Guan Wen and Li Xin very attentively. He led Guan Wen and Li Xin for more than half of the place. He didn't stop until Yang'er said that his feet were sore. He happened to stop at the garden in the backyard.There happened to be a small pond in the garden, not very big, but it was better than adding scenery.

The housekeeper laughed and said, "I wonder if Uncle Guan and Mrs. Guan are satisfied? It's not a villain's bragging. If my lord and his wife had to leave because of something, the lord and his wife would not be willing to sell this yard."

This is to raise the price.

Li Xin didn't seem to like it all the way, so he said indifferently after hearing the words: "Oh? I don't know how much money your master and wife want before they are willing to sell it?"

Seeing Li Xin's expression, the housekeeper couldn't figure out whether she liked it or not, so he could only respectfully say, "Madam Guan is a real person, and the villain is not in vain. The price is 3000 taels, the whole yard, and the furniture. What's more, it's all counted to Madam."

Li Xin just smiled lightly, and said to Guan Wen: "Ah Wen, you talk to the Guan family. Yang'er's feet are sore, and Yoyo must be tired too. I'll take them to wait for you in the shop."

Guan Wen nodded and sent Li Xin out. Before getting into the car, Li Xin said in a low voice, "You don't need to show your liking and lower the price. I think 500 taels can definitely be won, maybe you can." Press lower."

Guan Wen has made a name for himself in the mall, so he naturally understood what Li Xin said, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you go back and wait for my good news."

Li Xin went back to the shop and waited. Guan Wen came back before dinner. When he saw Li Xin, he took out the deed from his pocket.

"Is that why you bought it?"

"I bought it." Guan Wen said with a smile: "The money has also been paid, and the procedures have been completed."

Li Xin couldn't help sighing: "It's so fast... how much did you pay for it?"

"Two thousand and eight hundred taels." Guan Wen took a sip of tea, looked up and saw Li Xin staring at him with rounded eyes, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Listen to me first."

Guan Wendao: "Two thousand eight hundred taels, not only the yard and the furniture in the yard, but also the twenty or so servants in their mansion who plan to sell. Those servants are all signed death contracts, and they are all here. gone."

While talking, Guan Wen waved behind him, and He Zai, who had been by Guan Wen's side for the past six months, cleverly came forward, holding a small box and handing it to Guan Wen.

Guan Wen opened the box and took out a stack of deed papers: "It's all here."

"Why do you buy so many servants..." Although he knew that it was necessary to buy more servants when he bought a yard in the town, Li Xin did not expect that Guan Wen would buy more than 20 of them as soon as he bought it.

"Waiting to settle down in the town, there are many places to employ people." Guan Wen said: "Sweep the house, wash clothes, cook, watch the door, take care of things... all of these need people, right? Qingya and Guozi Those who serve you personally, Yang'er and Youyou also need to add people to their side."

Li Xin couldn't help but said: "But those are all old people used by that family, so it's inevitable that they won't have second thoughts..."

"Madam, don't worry, they are all dead contracts." He Zai said with a smile: "After signing the death contract, life and death are in the hands of the master. Who dares to have second thoughts? They all still have family members."

Li Xin was silent.
