Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 81: You Mob (6)
Chen Changzhi got up to see her off, and said, "Okay, Miss Shen, go slowly, I will send someone to inform the girl immediately if there is any news."

As he spoke, he sent Chen Xianglai and Xu Che to the gate of the second hall.

Watching the two leave, Chen Changzhi immediately called Master Qi and said, "Go and find out what this Chen Xianglai is from. A small village girl not only spends a lot of money, but is also so sophisticated in her work. What do you think?" It's not like a girl in her teens, and the boy next to her has a fierce look on her face, which is more frightening than the two executioners in our yamen!"

Master Qi said: "It's easy to handle. Just call Lizheng from Yanjiang Tun and ask."

Xianglai and Xu Che came out of the Songning County Office, and while walking forward, Xu Che said: "You really have money and nowhere to spend it. If you want me to tell you, go directly to the King of Beiliao, not to mention Xu Zongde and Chen Changzhi. Even Cao Mingquan from the Huikang Mansion will be unlucky!"

Xianglai said: "You think I'm willing to throw my hard-earned money in like this? They say to sue the king of Beiliao, who knows what kind of temperament the king of Beiliao is, if he is enlightened, my father's injustice If he is a fool who can avenge his revenge and repay him, maybe I will lose my life, so I might as well spend money to solve it!"

"Hmph..." Xu Che snorted softly and said, "I think it's true that you want to trade your father's life for the best interests!"

"You..." Xianglai was annoyed by what he said, stared at him for a while, and said: "Even if I don't want money, Xu Zongde will only be in prison for three years at best. Will he sit for three years? For a money-hungry businessman like him, being able to cut some meat is already the maximum!"

Xu Che didn't speak anymore, he knew that from Xianglai's point of view, doing this was already the ultimate.

It was already dark at this time, so the two first went to the inn to stay overnight.

The next morning, Xianglai went out to buy medicine for her mother, and then went to the horse market with Xu Che.

When the family business is big, there are many things to buy, and only two horses are obviously not enough.

The horse I bought this time doesn't need to be very good, as long as it can work well.

Xu Che tried two horses, and they were barely able to run, and he didn't try the rest, as long as there was nothing wrong with his health.

After some haggling, Xianglai bought all fifteen horses from a horse dealer for 100 taels of silver.

The two of them were leading eight or nine horses and were about to leave the horse market and go back, but they met Yu Zixi and Qi Xing head-on.

After recognizing the two, Xianglai stood there with a surprised face.

The two seemed to have just seen him, and Yu Zixi called out unexpectedly: "Sister Xianglai?!"

Xianglai also said awkwardly: "Brother Yu, why are you here?"

Yu Zixi said: "Qi Xing and I have something to pass by here, and we can see if we can pick up some cheap horses. Why do you think you are... to buy horses?"

Xianglai laughed dryly and said, "Yes, I plan to plant more crops next year, but I don't have enough horses. I thought you must not have so many horses, Brother Yu, so I bought them here myself."

Yu Zixi smiled and said: "Yes, Miss Xianglai is really accurate, I just bought out all the horses, otherwise I wouldn't look at horses..."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Che who was beside Xianglai, and said, "Oh, this brother is so strong, who is this girl from Xianglai?"

Xiang Lai never regarded Xu Che as a grown-up worker, so naturally she would not say so, but she was not a relative in the family, so she could only say: "This is a friend of mine."

Yu Zixi laughed jokingly: "Oh, friend! Are you a very good friend?"

Of course Xianglai knew what he meant, she smiled disapprovingly, and said, "What is Brother Yu talking about, Shen Che is my friend just like Brother Yu, not the kind of relationship you said!"

Of course, Yu Zixi also knew what she meant, but she took advantage of the situation and joked: "Why, is Miss Xianglai trying to use this to show that she has a bad relationship with me?"

Xianglai scratched the bridge of her nose helplessly, looking speechless.

Yu Zixi stopped making jokes about her, and said, "Why, Miss Xianglai, is she leaving now, why don't you go to my shop and sit down?"

Xiang Lai said: "Let's not do it today. There are too many things going on at home recently. I will make a special trip to find Brother Yu when I have free time. I want to ask for advice."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Yu Zixi looked at the sun and counted the time, and said, "Well, I happen to have time now, so I will send you outside the city, and talk about things while walking."

As he spoke, he didn't care whether Xianglai answered or not, so he said to Qi Xing: "Qi Xing, go help lead the horse."

Qi Xing hurried over to take the horses from Xianglai's hands, let Xianglai and Yu Zixi walk in front, and he and Xu Che walked behind them.

Xu Che squinted at him, Qi Xing thought he was going to talk to him, but he didn't want Xu Che to turn his eyes away after reading it and ignore him directly.

Qi Xing snorted secretly, and cursed: "Stinky deserter, why pretend to be like I don't know your details!"
Thinking about it, he also turned his face to the other side, and put on a posture of never getting in touch with each other.

Yu Zixi in front asked Xianglai as he walked, "How much land does Xianglai sister plan to plant next year? Looking at the posture of buying horses, I'm afraid it will be a few hundred acres?"

Xianglai said: "If it's normal, I'm afraid it will be a little less than a few hundred mu. I plan to plant at least a thousand mu."

Yu Zixi was also taken aback by these words, and said: "A thousand acres! Sister Xianglai is so generous. When I went to your house the year before last, you only had three acres of land. Only a year later, you will be able to buy a lot of land." Get a thousand acres of land?!"

Xiang Lai laughed and said, "This is also thanks to Brother Yu's fifty catties of rice seeds. Without it, I can't grow anything."

Yu Zixi also laughed and said, "You have the nerve to say that when you bought rice seeds from me back then, you insisted on not telling me what it was used for. I thought someone in your family was so greedy for rice!"

Xianglai also smiled, thinking that at that time, he was forced to copy the books in Yu Zixi's room for two days. If Dachang didn't bump into him that time, Wu Zhaodi would not be satisfied later. The village is going to ruin its reputation, so that no one dares to come to propose marriage to him now...

After thinking about it, she found that she was thinking too far, and asked casually: "By the way, why did Brother Yu sell rice so cheap back then, and is it still selling this year? With the rice prices of the past two years, Brother Yu still makes money selling rice. Better."

Yu Zixi said: "I grew up eating rice, and I couldn't get used to the rice in the north, so I brought some from my hometown. This year, I didn't have much to sell, so I won't sell it! As for selling it cheaply... you are a citizen of Songning How rich are you? Can you buy it cheaper if you don’t sell it?”

Xiang Lai thought: That's right, although Hengwang Rice Shop's rice is expensive to buy, it seems that it can't be sold for a long time, not to mention that it is a famous rice shop, rich people often go to buy rice.It seems that he is really lucky to be able to sell his rice to Luo Jinxing at a high price!
