The story of a noble girl

Chapter 10 Buying Land
The Lin family lives in the west of the village, far away from the villagers, and they seem to be living alone.It takes a quarter of an hour to get to the nearest Aunt Zhang's house.After Aunt Zhang received the rice from the Lin family, she came to pick up the cloth the next day. She agreed that there would be five sets of cotton clothes for a family of five, and the autumn harvest would be over in a month. The weather would get colder and colder, so the cotton clothes had to be prepared first. Down.

The Lin family finally chose the large piece of uncultivated grassland on the other side of the river. A narrow and narrow river meanders just to cut off Tao Village in the middle. All the villagers gather here, and the other side has never been inhabited.

This piece of land was chosen because of Wangzai. When he went out to look at the land, Wangzai nestled in Lin Xiaoning’s arms and refused to come down. After walking for a long time, Wangzai showed disdain. Observing Wangzi's expression, he kept shaking his head.

The village chief has been walking for so long, tired and thirsty, his throat is hoarse, and his heart is suffocating, just buying a piece of wasteland, does he need to be so picky?
Finally, at the riverside, Wangzai squeaked, Lin Xiaoning asked: Does Wangzai like the other side?Wangzai called again, and Lin Xiaoning said, "Village chief, the land is opposite my house."

The village head was so angry that he had never seen such an unreasonable master who bought a piece of land and still hugged a fox, and even let the fox choose the land. There are so many lands in the village, and he lived far away from the villagers. Picking the other side of the river, planting a field in the future, and crossing the river, the Lin family has brain problems from hunting.

"But do you really want this land?"

"Well, yes, our family needs five hundred acres."

"Oh, five hundred acres, no matter where you are in the village, it's one or two acres, five hundred acres is...how much, how much does your family want?" The village chief was sweating profusely.

"Five hundred acres" Lin Xiaoning confirmed again.

"Old man Lin, did your family really dig up ginseng? I'm talking nonsense like a villager."

"I dug up one and exchanged it for some silver." Old man Lin admitted generously.

The village chief felt like a knife, envious and jealous. Every household in the village was farming, and no one could dig out a ginseng from the land. This old man Lin was a hunter and didn't have a piece of land. He even dug a ginseng on the mountain and made a fortune.

In a complicated mood, he took Mr. Lin and Lin Xiaoning to find the village chief.This is a big deal. Over the years, the village head asked him to encourage everyone to buy land, and [-]% of the land price can be allocated to the village.

Li Chang’s heart is like a knife, envious and jealous, my grandma, 500 mu of land is [-] taels of silver, it’s hard for me to become Li Chang, nesting in this dilapidated place, it’s not as good as old man Lin digging one Ginseng came quickly, [-] mu of land... I can't earn back [-] mu of land in a few lifetimes.

They made an appointment to go to the county government to register together the next day, and pay the money for the land deed. ================================================= ====== The ox cart has not been played yet. I borrowed the ox cart for Lao Zhao's house. It was set on Xiaohuang, Litong, the village chief, Father Lin, Lin Jiadong and Lin Xiaoning. How proud.

Since the county magistrate of Jiantao Village applied for disaster funds that year, he left his post and changed his second term. This is the third term. Lin Xiaoning only now knows that the county seat was originally called Qingshui City. He fell asleep when he entered the city last time. The word "Qingshui County" is a bit vague, and it is difficult to recognize it.The county government office is in the east of the city, the vermilion paint on the gate of the county government office is old and mottled, and one of the two stone lions at the gate is missing a nose.

It is really the Qingshui Yamen in Qingshui County.

The county magistrate, surnamed Hu, is as thin as a stick, with a deer head and mouse eyes, and a goatee. He is in his forties, but at first glance he looks like a little old man. He heard that he wanted to buy [-] acres of wasteland in Taocun. a long time.

Lin Xiaoning was a little nervous, this guy's city is too deep, and buying land is not illegal, so there is no need to put on airs like this.

The village chief, village chief, Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong also looked solemn, not knowing what was wrong.

County magistrate Hu picked up the teacup on the table to drink, and suddenly coughed violently. After coughing, he kept panting, his cheeks were bright red, and Lin Xiaoning knew at a glance that he was suffering from phlegm blocking the pericardium.

County magistrate Hu looked at Mr. Lin and said, "You want to buy five hundred acres of land?"

"Yes, my lord. Is there something wrong with my family's purchase of land?" Lin Xiaoning rushed to answer.

"A small hunter family in Taocun, how can he buy [-] acres of land with silver taels? Is it ill-gotten wealth? Or..." After the county magistrate Hu said this, the village chief stepped forward: "My lord, it's Lin Hunter. Not long ago, my family dug up a wild ginseng and sold it for some silver, and everyone in the village knows about it."

Hu county magistrate showed black lines on his forehead, and slapped the table: "Wild ginseng? Which medicine shop in the town accepts it, and how much money does it take? I think your village chief, Li, is just being confused. The price of century-old wild ginseng is only two to three hundred , why buy [-] mu of land with enough money? I am a collection of good people in Qingshui City. Although they are poor, they still keep their jobs, but in a mere peach village, a small hunter's house, there was a wolf, a dog, and a dog. Ill-gotten gains, your village head is hard to get rid of!"

Hu County magistrate's words were so loud that the village chief felt that his knowledge was too shallow. Although Lin Liehu's family had always been loyal and simple, it was indeed suspicious that a huge sum of money suddenly appeared. He only regretted not investigating clearly at the time. His complexion was pale and he was dripping with cold sweat.

When Lin Orion heard this, no matter how old and knowledgeable he was, he was still just a commoner Orion. He couldn't help calling out: "My lord! You are wronged! I, Lin Orion, is a pure and honest person, how could I get ill-gotten gains..."

Kneel down when your legs are weak.

Lin Xiaoning snatched the words: "Grandpa, don't kneel, the heart of an adult is like a mirror, let's just say it straight." Turning to County Magistrate Hu, his mind turned a thousand times, and he blinked twice: "My lord, my lord has a plan in his heart, and his heart is like a mirror." Like a bright mirror, please listen to my daughter’s words, my family’s money is innocent, not ill-gotten gains, and wild ginseng is indeed a lie, just to prevent people’s gossip. My lord, as the saying goes, no one can be rich for three generations and poor for four generations. Which family is poor? There can't be a rich man in his family, and which rich family can't have a beggar in his family? Your lord said yes?"

County magistrate Hu saw that Lin Xiaoning was neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm face. Although he was born in a poor family and thin, he was born with bright eyes and bright teeth, and his conversation was good.

"My lord, although my daughter was born in Orion, there were high officials and nobles in her ancestors, and there was also a rare family heirloom jade. This heirloom jade has been passed down from generation to generation. Even my grandfather doesn't know which generation it started from. All I know is that this heirloom jade is very spiritual. , can not be sold, humiliating the family is not counted, what's more: the small family will fall, and the big one will have no children and grandchildren. Now, the Lin family has been poor for three generations, and my grandfather has passed his destiny. Suddenly he understands that this thing is dead and people are alive Guarding the precious jade in emptiness, the family will not have a family, how can it be inherited? I decided to sell this jade, and in order to prevent others from gossip, I made up a lie about wild ginseng."

County magistrate Hu looked at Lin Xiaoning meaningfully: Although this girl is small, she has the bearing of the head of the family.

"My lord, the heirloom jade was sold in the town Zhou Ji jewelry, my lord can find out clearly. As for the sale of the heirloom jade, please keep the secret for my family. My grandfather is the year of knowing the fate, and the importance of family and heirloom , but I am afraid that the villagers will gossip, and there are still fears, and I am not afraid of falling in the family, I am afraid that I will lose my children and grandchildren, can adults respond?" At this time, Lin Xiaoning couldn't help but sigh that he was smart.When Lin Xiaoning said something, Mr. Lin and the village chief were dumbfounded.Mr. Lin thought to himself: This is a big lie, a big truth, and my granddaughter didn't change her face when she said it. No wonder Elder He Shun said that granddaughter's life is expensive, that's called expensive!Eyes narrowed.

The village chief was stunned. Every household in Tao Village had illiterate girls and none of the boys could speak so well. I didn't want the little girl from Lin Orhu's family to be so eloquent. I really underestimated them.

Lin Xiaoning paused for a while, then asked: "My family bought land, why do you have any questions?"

County magistrate Hu played with a smile: "No. It's just why your family only bought [-] acres of land?"

"It takes silver to buy land, my lord"

"Then it's cheaper for me to give you, can you buy all the 3000 acres over there?" ============================ ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝If you like it, please vote for it.
