Chapter 181 Eight Hundred Acre Farm

Yi Xue also stopped thinking about Xiao Yu's affairs, so it was natural that her family would be more lively together.

"Auntie, tomorrow is my birthday. Today I will be the host and prepare some food. Our family will be happy together," Yi Xue said with a smile.

"Okay, as it should be, since we didn't bring a gift, we'll just be cheeky," Mrs. Xia said with a smile.

"Whose birthday is it today?" Master Xia saw off the imperial envoy and walked in, followed by Zhang Yueheng.

"Who else could it be?" Madam Xia pointed at Yi Xue with her eyes narrowed.

"Yixue, this is wrong. Although we are not as big as the big families in the capital, gifts are still affordable. Could it be that you girl don't even like my uncle's thin face?" Master Xia said jokingly.

Yi Xue giggled, "What did my uncle say, how dare I, how about uncle giving me a golden lock some other day?"

"This girl really dares to ask for it," Zhang said with a smile.

"Forget it, I haven't prepared for a few days, so I'll tell you some good news, how about treating it as your birthday present?" Master Xia said.

Yi Xue blinked her eyes, thinking about what her uncle would say, but nothing special seemed to happen.But what my uncle said must be a good thing.

Seeing Yi Xue's eyes looking at her expectantly, she laughed loudly, "I've never seen Yi Xue look so expectant."

"Uncle, tell me quickly," Yi Xue coquettishly tugged at Master Xia's long sleeves.

"Okay, what I said is that, my sleeves were pulled off by you," said the little master.

Everyone sat around, Master Xia smiled and said, "Now Yi Xue's family is not short of money, but Yi Xue, what are your plans?"

Indeed, for Yi Xue's family, the money is already enough. In addition to the three or four thousand taels of silver on her body, there is also the emperor's last 4000 taels of gold, one tael of gold and one hundred taels of silver. This is 100 taels of silver. Xue's worth is indeed beyond exaggeration.

However, this money is not worth mentioning to Master Xia and other big households.

Yi Xue thought for a while and said, "I'm thinking of opening a restaurant in the county town, and then opening a puppet shop in the county town, um, and opening a snack shop. These are all plans, but the most important thing for me now is to open a restaurant. After the business of the restaurant is stable, we will open other restaurants."

Master Xia nodded, "You are right. According to your current situation, you are indeed rich, but if you are in the capital, it is not enough. The capital is an inch of land and an inch of gold, so if you have the ability, make it bigger."

Master Xia could tell that this girl had a lot of ambitions. She dared to confront the Cheng family by herself. This courage was enough to show that this girl would not live in such a small place.

"What suggestion does Uncle have?" Yi Xue asked curiously.

"This is the congratulatory gift for you," Master Xia said, "to the west of Kao City, there is a manor, which was originally owned by a censor. No one is convinced, this is all right, and finally proposed to sell the property and divide the money."

"It's a crime", Zhang lamented. She was most afraid of her children's unfilial piety. She never thought that this family would become enemies with brothers because of the inheritance and ruin the good family business.

"How much money do they want?" Yi Xue asked hastily. Since it is a manor, it must not be small, and what he lacks is the land.Now there are eighty or ninety acres of land in Huawang Village. To be honest, I don't like it, maybe because I have money now.But if it is a few hundred acres of land, it will be great. What will happen next year if the grain is planted and the harvest will be bumper?I guess it can feed a lot of people.

"Hehe, listen to me first. There are a total of 70 acres of land over there, and there are three wells in it. There are [-] long-term workers. They plan to sell them together."

With so much, Yi Xue was horrified, and then ecstatic. Because of the backing of Huawang Mountain, there is no extra land. Now if there is such a large piece of land, it will be like a fish in water.

"Their asking price is 1 taels of silver." Master Xia smiled and saw Yi Xue.

Yi Xue's face darkened instantly, 1 taels of silver, and all her belongings are not missing.As soon as I bought this manor, I really had no money again, and the hundred taels of gold bestowed by the Holy One would slip away again like this?Yi Xue is really distressed.

"Hahaha, I feel bad, the hundred taels of gold will be gone, but you have [-] acres of land, which is a good place that might not be bought with silver in the future," Master Xia said with a smile.

"Yixue, this, this..." Everyone was shocked by Master Xia's words.

Not to mention 1 taels, but 100 taels, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

Although Yi Xue felt distressed, she quickly calculated in her mind that she could make money again when she ran out of money. Don't worry about this, the key is that place. A map appeared in her mind, which was the map that Tianjia borrowed from shopkeeper Hu at that time. , the northwest direction is just next to the commercial road, and it is also the only commercial road leading to the northern barbarians.If there is a war in winter, and of course the northern barbarians are defeated, then there is no need to worry, but just in case...

Yi Xue had to consider these, but she also hoped to get those lands, after all, there were too few plains in Kao City, and there were even fewer arable lands.

Regardless of him, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

Yi Xue gritted her teeth, and with great difficulty, two words came out of her mouth, "I...buy"

"Yixue, you have to think carefully." Zhang was shocked. She didn't feel sorry for Yinzi, but she was afraid that the family might not be able to take care of such a large field.

"Mother, it's okay. I've made up my mind and I'll buy it. If I miss this opportunity, I won't have another chance." Yi Xue raised her head and said firmly.

Master Xia clapped his hands and applauded, "As expected of Yi Xue, even the Holy Majesty praised you. I really admire you, a little girl, with courage. If you need money, I can help you."

"Uncle, there's no need for this, I can turn around by myself. I wonder when can I go to see that manor?" Yi Xue asked.

"I'll let you know in a few days. I know the boss of that family. Let's discuss it again and see if it can be less," Master Xia said.

"Well, well, I'll let my uncle worry about it," Yi Xue nodded in agreement.

Next, Yi Xue dragged Wen Ruonan and Xia Yunwan to the kitchen mysteriously.

"Sister, what are we doing today?" Erya asked curiously.

"Make a cake," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Everyone didn't understand what a cake was, but they knew it was delicious. Anyway, Yi Xue always gave them surprises.

Yi Xue and the others were busy in the kitchen, and Qiushui, Mrs. Jia, and Chunmei all joined the battle.Every time Yi Xue cooks and eats, she must call them, because she needs reliable people when she wants to open restaurants and snack bars in the future.Now the Liujin and Suiyue six girls in the family have not been completely approved by Yi Xue, so they haven't let them take over the kitchen, but let Sister-in-law Jia observe and exercise more.

Time passed quickly, and a faint fragrance came out. Yi Xue opened the homemade oven and took out the bread inside.

It was golden and bright, but there were a few spots that were burnt and looked imperfect. She carefully poked the dark spots away with a knife.

"It smells so good", Xia Yunwan smelled it.

"My sister's tricks are endless. The mooncake last time was very delicious," Wen Ruonan said with emotion.

"What mooncake?" Xia Yunwan naturally didn't know, so she asked suspiciously.Then complained, "Sister, there is something delicious, if you don't tell me, leave some for me"

"Sister Yunwan, I'll teach you another day," Yi Xue said with a smile.

"That's good, don't play tricks," Xia Yunwan said happily.

Yi Xue spread the cheese she bought on the cake, and then spread another layer of cream. It was hard to write on it, so she directly wrote the words Wang Yixue on the cream.

Looking at it, it felt imperfect, and took out apples and pears from the space behind everyone's back, cut them into small pieces, and sprinkled them on top.

"Okay," Yixue said.

Everyone looked at this cake with a golden color on the bottom and a milky white on the top, and were a little dazed. Is this really delicious?

"Hee hee, big sister, I'm hungry." Sanya stood behind Yi Xue at some point, and this time there was an extra Xia Chengwan.

Sanya looked at the cake with blinking eyes, and the corners of her mouth were almost drooling.

"This girl, she always appears like a ghost when it's time to eat, it's really hopeless, wait a while," Yi Xue scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, Zhixue is so cute, come here and let my sister hug her." Xia Yunwan knelt down and said to Sanya.

Sanya chuckled, automatically filtered Yi Xue's words, and threw herself into Xia Yunwan's arms.

"Sister Yunwan, the food made by my eldest sister is delicious, you will live in our house from now on," Sanya said with her eyes squeezed.

Xia Yunwan was so teased that she couldn't help laughing.

"Sister Yunwan looks pretty when she smiles, but she's so cold when she's not smiling," Sanya said, with her little hand touching Xia Yunwan's face.

"Sister Yunwan, even Sanya thinks you are too deserted, hehe", Wen Ruonan joked.

Everyone also knows that Xia Yunwan has this temperament. When she is not smiling, she is like a winter plum soaked in snow. When she is smiling, it is like dark clouds disappearing, and the sun is shining brightly.

Embarrassed, Xia Yunwan blushed and said, "You girl, you are getting more and more talkative."

"Hey, sister Yunwan, my eldest sister said, you are the most beautiful, and you will definitely find a good son in the future. Sister Yunwan, what do you want to do with a son?" Sanya asked, turning her head, looking ignorant.

Very innocent, very innocent.

"I don't know yet, my little one, if I find a son, I will be my brother-in-law," Xia Chengwan said in an astonishing way.

Yi Xue and the others were petrified, and then Xia Yunwan looked at Yi Xue viciously, and Yi Xue rubbed her forehead, how dare this girl say anything.When she talked about Xia Yunwan with her mother two days ago, she said this, when did this girl overhear her into the corner.

Yi Xue lowered her head, then mustered up her courage, regardless of Xia Yunwan's blushing face and sharp eyes, she chuckled, "Sister Yunwan, that, the weather is really nice, you see how time flies, go eat cake Bar"

Xia Yunwan watched Yi Xue run away as if fleeing, and then she held back for a long time, not knowing how to scold Yi Xue, she stomped her feet anxiously, but Wen Ruonan on the side looked at the giggling flowers trembling, helped I can't even stand up straight.

"Sister Ruonan, laugh too," Xia Yunwan said, and ran out blushing.

Qiu Shui met Mrs. Jia and the others, then smiled, then closed her mouth, and took the cake made by the eldest lady to the living room.

In the living room, Mrs. Zhang and others were also talking lively. After Yi Xue came in, they saw Xiao Yu sitting there too. What's going on?
Xiao Yu followed his gaze and saw Yi Xue who was stunned, and then gave her a bright smile.
