Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 132
On the mule cart of the Bai family, because Hou Changping could drive the mule cart, Zhao Long stayed in the shop to help.

Mrs. Wu didn't come either. She thought that she had been busy with Da Chunniang yesterday, and she couldn't ask for help today. Anyway, she didn't know much about the land, so she only asked Bai Chuanbai to bring Bai Wei and Bai Shao. My daughter followed Hou Changping to see the land.

As for Bai Yunshi, this kid doesn't know where he went.

On a flat car sat Bai Chuanbai, his two little girls, and a driver, Hou Changping.

"Brother Bai, let me tell you, I just asked two friends, and they told me that on the road from Izumo Town to Shilipu, there is a full 35 mu of land for sale, all of which are of good quality. The fertile land has been passed down from generation to generation, and I heard that the family is going to take the exam, so they sold the land as money, otherwise they would not sell it.” Hou Changping skillfully beat the mule while telling Bai Chuanbai about the land Son.

"Ah, how much do they want per mu of land?" Bai Chuanbai asked.

"It was originally said to be five taels of silver per mu, but it has not been sold for a long time. After all, 35 mu is too big to be eaten by one person. Now the family has reduced it to four taels of silver per mu. Work hard, maybe you can buy three or two half an acre, but we can’t lower the price until we show how much interest we have in that land. These people are all good people. If you show interest, he will think you I definitely want to buy it, so I won’t lower the price.” Hou Changping knew that Bai Chuanbai had an honest character, and was afraid that he would suffer if he couldn’t control his thoughts, so he taught him quietly along the way.

"Hey, hey, I don't know much about these things, but I trust you, Brother Hou." Bai Chuanbai just smiled naively.

Although he is honest and honest, he is not a fool. He knew that Hou Changping was doing it for his own good, so he was not angry at all, and because he knew that his weakness was not being able to control his emotions, he secretly decided to shut up and not speak, and just listen to him. Normal.

The little mule cart ran bumpily for about half an hour, and finally stopped in front of a family in Izumo Town.

After Hou Changping stopped the mule cart, he got off the flat cart first, and knocked on the door of that family, "Zhang Xiucai, Zhang Xiucai, we were introduced by Lao Zhao."

"Ah, here we come." Someone inside responded, and not long after, the door was opened, and a man in a blue straight robe appeared in front of everyone, "Are you buying land? Please come in."

After speaking, he opened the door and let everyone in.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, before Hou Changping got into the matter of buying land, Zhang Xiucai asked first, "Can you finish buying the 35 acres of land?"

"Whether it is possible or not depends on the price." Hou Changping pondered for a moment, and gave an ambiguous answer, "In terms of mu, it is really too big, and it may be difficult for ordinary people to eat... We buy land, It’s all budgeted in advance, right.”

"Then let me zero it out for you. 35 mu of land is a huge piece of land, and it's all good land passed down from my ancestors. If I hadn't been in a hurry to go to Beijing to catch the exam, I wouldn't have sold this land." Said in a hurry.

A smile flashed across Hou Changping's eyes, but his expression was still very calm, "But our budget is also limited, it's only about a hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid we can't afford your 35 mu of land."

"How much is 100 taels?" Zhang Xiucai's eyes lit up, "Actually, my land is really good. Usually there is nothing that cannot be bought with five taels of silver. Now I sell four taels and one mu, and I have already lost a lot of money." Less...but if you really want it, I can also give you five taels of silver cheaper."

"We don't want you to be five taels cheaper, just three and a half an acre, maybe the money can do it, otherwise, we probably won't be able to buy this land..." Seeing that the heat is almost ready, Hou Changping released his own conditions.

"Ah, it's only two and a half..." The scholar Zhang seemed a little frustrated, "It's not as simple as five taels cheaper, it's 18 taels less..."

"We can't get it out either..." Hou Changping also looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to give money but had more than enough energy.

"That's all..." Zhang Xiucai thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "That's it, three and two halves, three and two halves, but it's agreed, I won't wipe the zero, and I will give as much as I want. How much, after paying the money, immediately go to the Yamen to cross the bright road, no one delays anyone, I am in a hurry to go to the autumn exam."

"Okay." Hou Changping nodded immediately, "Now we're going to take a look at the land. If it's correct, we can pay for the land deed today."

"Okay." At this point, looking at the ground has become a cutscene, that Zhang Xiucai nodded readily, and went directly to the mule cart of Bai Shao's family, and took them out of Yunzhen to the Shilipu. In front of the intersection.

It is indeed a piece of fertile land. Although Bai Shao can't see it clearly, Bai Chuanbai is a regular farmer. Knowing that this land can be bought back at the price of three or two and a half mu, he really took advantage, so this The money was given much more happily.

He took out 120 two halves on the spot and handed them to Zhang Xiucai.

That Xiucai Zhang was neat, and immediately took out the title deed from his pocket, and wrote the title deed document with his own hand, and after his fingerprints were pressed on both sides, Hou Changping took it to the Xieyang County Yamen to cross Ming Road, waiting for the card. After the Red Seal came back, this place really became Bai Shao's home.

Of course, more than 100 taels of silver will be gone.

With a mood of half joy and half disappointment, the three masters of Bai Shao walked back to the food under the sun.

The mule cart was given to Hou Changping, and he was going to cross the road for the land deeds of Bai Laosan's family.

Originally, Hou Changping wanted to drive the mule cart to send Master Bai Shao back and then go to the Hou family's mule cart to cross Ming Road in Xieyang County, but Bai Shao was impatient and didn't want Hou Changping to go back and forth to waste time. He just gave up the mule cart at home.

Anyway, it's not too far to walk home, and it won't take too long to walk, but the sun is a bit torturing.

At the end of August, when the weather was the hottest, the three of you returned to Izumo Town in about two cups of tea under the scorching sun.

Because it was too hot, the couple decided to trot to a small alley with a shady place, taking a shortcut to get food for the sky.

As a result, they just got into the alley when they were stunned.

"Father, take a look, is the one standing at the far end of the alley grandpa?" Bai Wei with the sharpest eyes bumped into Bai Chuanbai next to him with his elbow.

I saw three people standing at the junction of sunshine and shade at the end of the alley.

Headed by a slightly older person, two relatively young people stood behind in the shape of a character, standing at the entrance of the alley.

And with his head and hands behind his back, he stared at the Shiweitian shop not far away, as if he was thinking about something.

Bai Chuanbai looked carefully, and after confirming that the man was old man Bai, he frowned in confusion, "That is indeed your master, why did your master appear here? Didn't you come into the shop?"

No one could answer him, because Bai Shao and Bai Wei didn't know why Mr. Bai appeared here.

Bai Chuanbai had no choice but to walk behind Old Master Bai with big strides, opened his mouth and called out, "Father."

Old man Bai turned his head in shock, and when he found out that it was Bai Chuanbai, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Third brother, it's you, why are you not busy in the shop, why are you here?"

"I..." Bai Chuanbai opened his mouth and wanted to say that he went to buy land, but fortunately Bai Shao was beside him and tugged at the hem of his clothes in a timely manner, and then the words that came to his mouth became, "I'm going out to give someone something. ,father."

"Oh, give me something." Old Master Bai nodded, turned his eyes to Bai Shao, did not speak, turned his head again, and stared at the words "food is the sky" on the plaque.

"Father, why don't you just stand here and don't go in? It's already noon, let's go have a meal." Bai Chuanbai looked at the scorching sun hanging high above his head, feeling distressed to be in the sun with Mr. Bai here, and wanted to persuade him He went into the shop and sat for a while.

"Hey, hey, good boy." Hearing the third son's concern, old man Bai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "It's okay, I just passed by here to see you... We are fine, so we won't go in."

"Father." As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chuanlian on the side became anxious, "No, you always came here specifically to find the third child, did you forget about it?"

"Hey, hey, it's actually okay." Mr. Bai looked confused, "Well, let's not go."

"How about that?" Bai Chuanqiang at the side stood in the same queue as Bai Chuanlian, "Father, have you forgotten what your mother told you before you came?"

As soon as this was mentioned, old man Bai froze in place.

After about a dozen or so breaths, he let out a long sigh, slowly bent his back a little, turned his head and said to Bai Chuanbai, "Third brother, go back to the shop, I have something to tell you."
