The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 129 Buying a Yard

Chu Ying sat on the bamboo raft and went down the river to watch the large bamboo forest spread along the river. The bamboo here is enough to make bamboo paper for several years, and next to it is the water source, which is mainly located below the village. Going down to the mountains, Lu Ming said that he would have to walk a long distance by water to reach the next village.

After looking at more than ten places, this place is better, and the other two bamboo forests along the river can also be purchased, and then it will be fine to cut down the river and save the trouble of transportation, "How much money does it cost? "

Lu Ming hugged the stove and opened his squinted eyes, "Money is not a problem, you don't have to think about it, this year is not good, these companies are eager to sell for money, you just say which one or a few yuan you want. Alright, someone else will take care of the rest."

Chu Ying felt that this piece of bamboo forest was contracted by me, "Just this large area, and the two pieces by the river just now can be purchased, these are enough for several years, and it is also possible to make pulp here and transport them back to do it. Yes, you can do it directly here, and you can take a section of water, which is relatively easy."

"Well, Agui, write it down." Lu Ming squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Ying who was standing straight in front of the bamboo raft, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her thin body under the blue robe was just like the bamboo by the river. The thin belt around the waist further outlined Chu Ying's slender waist.

Chu Ying turned her head and looked at Lu Ming who was lazily lying on the bamboo chair basking in the sun. This guy lay there as soon as he got on the bamboo raft, he was really lazy enough.

Looking back at Chu Ying, she really grasped Chu Gong's waist gracefully, and Sai Xue's skin was as warm as jade.Feng Ling's beautiful hair is immortal, and his eyes are clear and charming.For a moment, Lu Ming was fascinated, but this baby was not so white before, probably after a winter, he has grown a lot of white.

"Master, there are still three shops on the West Street of Dongshi and two buildings at the intersection of West Market to buy, right? I'll do this together." Agui carefully memorized it on a small bamboo slip.

"Do you still want to buy a shop?" Chu Ying only thought about being able to eat enough at this age, and Lu Ming had already planned to make a good fortune by taking advantage of the famine. It's not that Chu Ying didn't think about buying a shop, but she had food in hand and silver are not enough.

"Yes, the shops are cheap now, and those who are not well-off can only sell some shops. Do you want to buy one? Agui, how much money does Chu Ying have now?"

Agui closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, "The last time the bookkeeping was more than 15 taels, the business has been getting better and better recently, and now there should be more than 18 taels of silver."

Chu Ying was overjoyed, and with the bear's paw money that she didn't take last time, she should be able to buy a small shop with more than 20 taels.

Lu Ming saw that Chu Ying was smiling a little staggeringly. I don't know where this crazy woman came from. She was really on the same level as the young ladies in other mansions. He actually still had feelings for this little doll. Really. It's because I haven't gone out to see the girl's beauty recently.

"Uncle Qiu, tell her about any good shops, and take her to have a look when you go back later." Chu Ying sat next to the donor Uncle Qiu and carefully looked at a cloth book he had sewn in his hand.

The first few pages were some maps. Uncle Qiu pointed Chu Ying to see those shops for sale, and quoted the prices one by one by the way.Listening to the 30 taels, 50 taels, and 100 taels, Chu Ying thought she had a little money at first, but now it seems that she can't afford it.

"How much is this here?" Chu Ying pointed to a place that was approaching the outskirts of the city.

"This used to be an elegant garden, but it was closed a few years ago. The location is relatively remote, but it's 30 taels. It's a three-story house. I've seen the house before and it's still very solid. The main reason is that the location is remote. I'm afraid it's okay to do business. people."

Chu Ying looked at the small pictures next to the building, "Is there a pavement next to this?"

"No, these are some other courtyards with Yayuan. The small river next to it can lead to other places, but it's rather winding, and it doesn't go to the pier, so there are not many boats passing by."

Chu Ying looked at the small river next to it and went around to reach the big river, and it was indeed a bit detoured. Chu Ying drew a circle around Yayuan, "How much money does this range cost?"

"This...there are only two floors of these other courtyards, and the other is one floor. They are not very big. The land price is not expensive. These other courtyards are worth a little money. The total of this one is probably 40 taels. This is At least, if it is not the friend of Young Master Lu, it will not be so beneficial." Qiu Shuxin has a wide body and a fat body, and he is quite kind when he smiles, but Chu Ying thinks that anyone who wants to take money from her is not a good person.

"Let me see, which one is it? Are you going to open Yayuan? Do you know what Yayuan does?" Uncle Qiu ran over to point it out to Lu Ming, with the same smile on his face, showing no embarrassment. .

Chu Ying stared at Lu Ming blindfolded. Hearing what Lu Ming said, it shouldn't be a place to be on the stage, but Uncle Qiu said that it was a few years ago, and the price is really good. If it's not bad after reading it, it can be included in the bag.

"Uncle Qiu, let's go around and have a look. It's been a few years. I remember that some other courtyards are a bit dilapidated. You may not have been there for a long time, so I don't know. It may not be worth 40 taels." Although Lu Ming There was a smile between her brows, but Chu Ying felt more and more that this smile was so cunning.

"Uh, yes, it's better to have a look. You can rest assured after seeing it." After a long detour, I arrived at the Yayuan mentioned by Uncle Qiu. There is no handrail to go ashore, so one person can only go ashore first to pull the others, and the bamboo raft is also tied to a tree.

This elegant garden is indeed as Uncle Qiu said. There is a three-story main building. Although the outside looks a bit bleak, but when you walk in, you can see that the wood is made of high-quality materials, but some old wood is gone. Glossy, some starting to peel, but once in a while a touch-up will give it a new look.

Lu Ming stood by the window and looked into the distance, touched the mottled window, looked back at Chu Ying who was looking around, gave her a wink, and she came over quietly.

"what happened?"

"There was a lawsuit in this elegant garden before. The owner of this elegant garden loved a scholar before, funded him to go to Beijing, and opened up a relationship with him with a bank account. The scholar later became a Shangguan but will marry her in the future, so the owner of this elegant garden went to Beijing to find him. , only to learn that he had already broken his promise and had a new love, and later he was tripped by the scholar and imprisoned. The other sisters here bought Yayuan to raise money to redeem her, but she killed the scholar's wife. He threw himself into the river." Although Lu Ming said it lightly, Chu Ying looked at this dilapidated Yayuan with a feeling of a world away.

Lu Ming looked at Chu Ying who was still confused. The baby must not understand what he was talking about. "Do you really want this yard?"

Chu Ying nodded firmly.Although such a thing happened here is a bit unlucky for the businessmen, but after all, the owner of Yayuan did not die here, and she may also hope that Yayuan can regain its glory.

"Take your time, I'll take care of it." Lu Ming patted the robe, which seemed to be stained with dust, and walked towards Uncle Qiu in a chic manner, looking quite heroic.

Chu Ying then went to other single courtyards for a stroll. The scenery in this large courtyard was quite diverse, but it had not been taken care of for a long time, and the grass was everywhere. Except for the main building, there were 8 single courtyards, each with its own characteristics. There was one in the middle of the lake. Building, the one in the bamboo forest, and several other buildings, there is a fence behind one of them, and there are farm tools beside it. It is estimated that someone has cultivated here before.

"I told you to wander around casually. I didn't let you go so far. I thought you were abducted. After talking about it, this elegant garden has gone through a few hands. These yards are all good. Just a little tidying up will be fine." With a bad reputation and a remote location, the price keeps dropping. Originally, the minimum price was 80 taels, but now it’s not old enough. The buyer wanted to sell it earlier, so I lowered it down to 35 taels.” Lu Ming sat on the edge of the porch, Looking at the fallen lotus leaves in the decaying pond.
