The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 80
After breakfast, Xiaomi remembered the Sui family's mother and son's visit yesterday, so she thought about going to the government office to ask about it.

Feng Jian changed his long gown and planned to accompany Xiaomi. Lao Yang wanted to stop him, but Feng Jian waved his hand to stop him.

Unknown, Xiaomi went in and asked, "Is there something wrong with Uncle Yang? Is there anything else I want to take along?"

Lao Yang smiled wryly, and replied, "Exactly, I don't have any shredded tobacco."

"Okay, Uncle Yang, I'll bring you back two taels of the best shredded tobacco. No, I need to buy two taels more. I saw that Old Master Feng's cigarette pouch was also empty yesterday."

Boss Lu took the carriage and went down the mountain slowly. All the wells were almost finished, and the two yards were basically formed.Xiaomi thought that he would soon settle the wages for the craftsmen, so he said, "Brother Feng, remind me to return some broken silver and copper coins."

"Okay."

Feng Jian did not avoid suspicion, the early autumn breeze was not too cold, the window was open in the carriage, and Boss Lu was sitting on the shaft, so there was no need to worry about anyone gossiping.

Villagers kept waving and greeting by the side of the road. Didn’t Xiaomi lie at the window joking and joking, passing by the grass shed, Aunt Liu chased him out and asked Xiaomi to buy some embroidery thread. The season was about to change, and girls and women loved beauty, even if they didn’t have new clothes. Always need to embroider some new flowers on the skirt.

Today, Liu Xiaodao is guarding the mountain pass. He has eaten and drank well at home in the past six months, and he usually walks outside. He is much smoother and alert than before, but when he saw Xiaomi and Feng Jian in the carriage, his face changed slightly, and he stood stiffly with Xiaomi. waved.

Xiaomi also waved his hand and shouted, "Brother Xiaodao, thank you for your hard work. I will buy roast chicken and come back later. My second brother said that he would call you to go up the mountain to explore together. The hunting will start in a few days."

"Okay, Miss Xiaomi, be careful when you go into the city, there are many bad guys these days."

Xiaodao glanced at Feng Jian, obviously pointing to something, but unfortunately Xiaomi didn't think that the person beside her was that bad guy.

"Okay, Brother Xiaodao, don't worry, Brother Feng is here."

The sound of horseshoes, pulling the carriage away, Xiaodao still didn't look back, his face was really a little bad, looking at the dog left who grew up with him since he was a child, and asked in a naive voice, "Xiaodao, do you want to go?" Xiaomi as a daughter-in-law?"

Ji Lingling, who was asked about Xiaodao, came back to his senses, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, I don't care, Xiaomi is a girl, what should I do if it spreads out and ruins my reputation?"

Gou Sheng'er scratched the back of his head, and some of the scolded lost his mind, muttering in a low voice, "I'm just asking, my mother said that Xiaomi will marry a wealthy family in the future, and won't stay in our old Xiongling, let me marry a Honestly, the daughter-in-law who can give birth to a baby is back."

Xiao Dao's face became darker when he heard this, his eyes penetrated the mountains and forests, as if he had caught up with the carriage that was going far away, and saw Feng Jian's face that looked friendly but was actually proud and dignified.

Could it be that he was the so-called wealthy man who was born in a wealthy family and wanted to marry Xiaomi?

Xiaodao secretly clenched his fist, the most important thing in hunting is patience, until the end, no one can guess the winner...

Xu Shi saw a bumper harvest, which pleased everyone in Bei'an Prefecture, and the city and outside the city were much more lively than in the past.Passers-by seemed to have smiles on their faces, and their steps were much easier.

Even the small officials guarding the city gate did not add more copper coins for no reason. Boss Lu entered the city smoothly after paying more than a dozen copper coins.

He is now the sure son-in-law of the Chen family, since he is in the city, he has no choice but to visit the Chen family.Xiaomi helped the staff to buy four handy gifts, and then separated from his elder brother.

Boss Lu went to the Chen family, while Xiaomi and Feng Jian went to the government office.It's not that she can't trust shopkeeper Chen, it's because shopkeeper Chen has already fallen ill once because of the robbing of the mountain, and now if there is another accident and the old man dies, the Lu family can't take it, so it's better to go and find out , It's better if it goes smoothly, if it doesn't go well, think of a way.

Although the government office was still busy this day, there was a vague tension inside and out.

No one who can work in the government office is a fool.Not to mention that the savvy eyelashes are hollow, at least they have sharp ears and eyes, and can understand the direction of the wind.

The night before last, Master Sui, who had ruled over the sky in Bei'an Prefecture for many years, suddenly fell from power. The Fuyin master turned his face ruthlessly, and directly arrested him and sent him to prison. Even the cronies that the master cultivated on a daily basis were unlucky.

Such a big change almost made the whole Bei'an state panic.Except for the people who bowed their heads like sheep, almost everyone with a face knew the news, and of course they were waiting and watching, not knowing the reason for this change and what the result would be.

When Lu Xiaomi and Feng Jian arrived at the government office, there were not many people doing business, and the petty official was drinking tea bored. Seeing the two of them coming in, he was a little impatient and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Xiaomi frowned, but remembered that some of the window departments in the previous life had this kind of virtue and balance, so he smiled, "My lord, please set up a stall, I want to buy two pieces of mountain land."

"Buy mountain land?"

The little official raised his hand to pour tea and asked, "Where is it?"

"The side ridges on the east and west sides of Laoxiong Ridge."

"Old Bear Ridge...Ah!"

The little official didn't take it seriously at first, but when he realized it, he was taken aback. The teapot under his hand deviated from the direction and poured it directly on his left hand, which made the back of his hand red immediately.

But he didn't bother to wipe it off, he just looked at Xiaomi and Feng Jian up and down, and finally asked cautiously, "Girl, you are from the old Xiongling Lu family..."

Xiaomi vaguely guessed something, but still nodded in response, "Exactly."

The little official rolled his eyes, got up and said, "This...Miss Lu, please sit down. The two mountain lands have just been taken back this morning, and there is no conclusion yet. You might as well wait a moment, and I will ask for some instructions."

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

The little official got Xiaomi's reply and ran out immediately.Xiaomi Niutou looked at Feng Jian and asked in a low voice, "Brother Feng, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, as long as you make up your mind, there is nothing anyone can do about it." Feng Jian pulled Xiaomi to sit down, the hot tea made by the clerk was still there, and the two of them were not polite, they found a clean tea bowl and drank it, got up early and hurried on their way, My mouth is a little dry right now.

Half an hour later, after drinking a pot of tea, the little official rushed back. He seemed a little guilty, and said with a dry smile, "You two, that... Our lord Fu Yin invites you."

Xiaomi didn't panic as he imagined, stood up and said, "Okay, please lead the way."

Feng Jian followed Xiaomi, although he didn't speak, but his indifferent demeanor made the little official even more suspicious of their identities.Are ordinary common people so bold nowadays? That's Mr. Fu Yin, the parental official of a mansion. He usually grovels when he sees them. Why don't these two people feel afraid at all?
No wonder people say that the people in Old Xiongling are barbaric. Now it seems that they are not only barbaric, but also a little stupid...

The backyard of the government office is much larger than Xiaomi imagined, with carved beams and painted buildings, and a rock garden. It is very elegant and beautiful, and it has the meaning of a rich family's house.

Zhao Zhigao was holding a teacup and thinking about it, his body hollowed out by the wine was a little puffy, his eyes were faintly black and blue, when he heard footsteps outside the door, he squinted his eyes and looked.

Xiaomi was fine, he looked like a smarter Xiaojiabiyu, but Feng Jian's overall demeanor made him subconsciously straighten his back.

He is different from the little official who runs the contract. His intuition from childhood in the capital tells him that Feng Jian's identity must be not simple. superior.So, he put down the teacup and said with a calm smile, "Please sit down, both of you."

Xiaomi was wondering whether to kneel and kowtow. After all, she is a commoner, and it is a proper etiquette to kneel before seeing an official. However, the "gold under her knees" rooted in her mind in her previous life really made her reluctant to throw away her "gold".

Just in time, after hearing what Zhao Zhigao said, she squatted down and got a blessing.Feng Jian cupped his hands casually and took Xiaomi to sit down.

Now, instead of being angry, Zhao Zhigao became more cautious.

"I heard that the two of you are going to buy the mountain land in Laoxiongling?"

"Yes, my lord, I had already placed a deposit earlier, but it was robbed by someone. Today I heard that my lord was doing harm to the people and arrested the villain, so I came here with my brother to have a look, and I want to buy back two yuan." mountain."

Seeing that Feng Jian didn't intend to speak, Xiaomi opened his mouth first.

Zhao Zhigao rolled his eyes, stroked the only few beards under his white and fat chin and smiled, "Miss is ridiculous, I just did my duty. I am not in good health, and I rely on Master Sui a lot on weekdays." I don't want this villain to use his official name to bully the village and do a lot of evil. It was also Master Sui who robbed the two mountain lands earlier. You might as well talk about it in detail, so I can settle the case as soon as possible and return the girl. A justice."

"Hey, what do you want to say?" Xiaomi asked with a puzzled expression on his face, "Didn't it be Du Youcai who robbed my family's mountain land? How did he become Master Sui? I have never seen Master Sui. He came to threaten my family." It is also Du Youcai."

"Uh," Zhao Zhigao was a little surprised to be choked, he squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Xiaomi for a while, but he didn't find anything unusual on her face, and he started to mutter in his heart.

Did the little girl really not know, or did she guess that his purpose was to pretend to be stupid?
"Du Youcai is Master Sui's nephew. Without the support of Master Sui, Du Youcai would not dare to bully the people. Miss Lu, do you understand?"

Xiaomi shook his head and insisted, "My father said that seeing is believing. It was Du Youcai who came to make trouble at home all the time. I didn't see Master Sui following behind. So, my lord, I'd better ask other sufferers. Being oppressed by Master Sui, only Du Youcai hates it."

"This..." Zhao Zhigao frowned, and when he wanted to say something, Feng Jian had already glanced at him coldly, and he subconsciously swallowed the words back.

However, Xiaomi took the initiative to ask, "Sir, since you have captured Du Youcai with great power, is it true that our two mountain lands in Laoxiongling have also been returned to the government office? Can I buy them back?"

"Ah, this one?" Zhao Zhigao hesitated a little, and wanted to suppress it, but remembering the inspection censor who didn't know where he was, he finally responded, "Naturally."

"Then thank you, my lord. My family is still waiting. I will pay the money in exchange for the deed."

Xiaomi stood up while talking, blessed him as usual, very well-behaved, but when he left the door with Feng Jian, he immediately approached and asked secretly, "Brother Feng, you scared me to death, didn't you make a mistake just now? "
