Chapter 31

Not to mention the small calculations in Master Li's heart, Yao Tiantian, who was stumped, was like a rotten eggplant, not knowing what to do next.

Yao Runzhi on the side saw everything in his eyes, a trace of anxiety flashed across his face, he quickly pulled Yao Tiantian away, and scolded with a smile, "This time you are blowing your hair, what do you call writing?" Ah, you are the only one who understands the meaning of the record, right? Just like that, you even cut your own hand with a carving knife! From now on, remember not to act rashly.”

While talking, Yao Runzhi naturally pulled Yao Tiantian's hand out from behind, pointed to a scar on her left index finger and said, "Look, the scar is still there, so I'm talking big again, quickly apologize to Master Li, How can a contract between adults be as sloppy as a child's house?"

Yao Runzhi's words relieved Yao Tiantian and allowed her to extract a useful piece of information. Sure enough, paper is not popular in this era. To make a contract, you still need to use a knife to engrave it on the bamboo slips.But, no, Yao Tiantian remembered seeing a lot of thread-bound ancient books in uncle Yao Runzhi's bedroom and study, and heard about uncle's share capital from Gou Wa. What's going on?How could this kind of thread-bound book, which should only appear in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles at this stage, appear on the desks of rural teachers?

Moreover, Yao Tiantian also learned from the memory of the original owner, Little Sweet Girl, that the scar on her left hand was not broken when she took a carving knife, but that the original owner of this body, Little Sweet Girl, did not cut vegetables while cooking. Be careful to break it, it is not broken for the reason of recording and engraving with a carving knife.Uncle Yao Runzhi said this to save himself, but Yao Tiantian still heard a trace of nervousness from Yao Runzhi's tone. What is he afraid of?Or is he trying to hide something?

Although Yao Tiantian was somewhat puzzled by her uncle Yao Runzhi's behavior, she knew that now was not the time to pursue these matters, and their top priority was to take down the barren hill at the west end of the village in black and white.

Thinking clearly, Yao Tiantian temporarily put away the doubts in her heart. She pretended that the lie was seen through by the adults, and then she became angry from embarrassment. She pulled out her little hand and hid it tightly behind her back, hiding all the evidence. Then he pouted his mouth and retorted loudly angrily, "I, what's wrong with my child, no matter what method is used, the child knows to remember what he said. It's better if you adults don't record what you say. I'm a child!"

Seeing Yao Tiantian's seemingly nonsensical nonsense, a flash of understanding flashed across Yao Runzhi's face, and it was fleeting, and he immediately cooperated and pretended to be dumbfounded, saying, "You child, you are really stubborn..."

"Haha, I think the little girl said it well. How can we adults not be as good as children?" Master Li laughed and interrupted Yao Runzhi, turned around and said to Huang Dahu, "Since you agree to take the piece The barren mountain was used by Yangjiatun, so let’s record it officially on the bamboo slips. I will be a witness for you, and we can’t be compared by a little girl.”

Master Li's words turned out to be a final word, and the formal barren hills gave sex.Yao Tiantian was stunned that Master Li could say that, and couldn't help but look at her uncle, just in time to catch the fleeting doubt on Yao Runzhi's face.

Hearing what Master Li said, Huang Dahu was even more taken aback. He opened his mouth wide. He really wanted to say that he agreed with the people of Yangjiatun to go to the barren hills to chop firewood, dig wild vegetables, and hunt wild game, but he didn't say that they would go to the barren hills. All the barren hills were given to the people in Yangjiatun to use them.

However, seeing Master Li's high spirits, Huang Dahu swallowed all the words that came to his lips. Anyway, the barren hills and rocks are thin and uneven, so it's okay to give them to use, as long as they can It's good to take their land smoothly. When the hunting ground is built, the son's future will be hopeful, and this small barren hill will not be worth anything.

Huang Dahu didn't want to offend Master Li at this time, and he didn't want to be serious with the people in Yangjiatun. He put on a smile on his face, and quickly followed Master Li's words, and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, we A man's behavior cannot be compared to a little girl, so let's record this matter on the bamboo slips."

After finishing speaking, Huang Dahu turned around and ordered the housekeeper accompanying him, "Go, go and get 220 taels of silver, bamboo slips, and a carving knife."

The housekeeper of the Huang Mansion trotted out after hearing the order, and ran back panting after a while, holding a linen bag, a bamboo slip and a carving knife in his hand.

Huang Dahu reached out and took the silver bag in the housekeeper's hand, shook it in front of old village head Yang, and said condescendingly, "Old man Yang, what kind of letter is still going to be engraved, should you be satisfied this time? Have a good time!" Take out your title deeds."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll let someone take it." Old Village Chief Yang said in a low voice, with deep reluctance and loss.After finishing speaking, he paused, raised his sleeve and touched the corners of his eyes, and then waved to Gou Wa, "Go, go to the ancestral hall to find the third uncle, and ask him to come to the village school with our land deed."

Title deed?Yao Tiantian was dumbfounded when she heard this. They actually have such a thing as a land deed. What kind of papers did she have to write so desperately to be cute and pretend to be stupid?I am really a smart pig brain!

Yao Tiantian was so angry that she pulled her hair, but she saw her uncle Yao Runzhi looking at her approvingly, meeting Yao Tiantian's gaze, Yao Runzhi smiled encouragingly at her, and then frowned. With a pick, he pouted again at Huang Dahu.

After receiving her uncle's hint, Yao Tiantian immediately understood in the midst of lightning and thunder. It turned out that her uncle and the old village chief were also planning to get a land deed. Having a land deed is the safest thing to do.

Yao Tiantian understood clearly, no matter what her uncle and the old village chief planned, since things have been messed up by her, she has to participate to the end, and no matter what, she must get the title deed of that barren mountain. Row.Yao Tiantian secretly sighed in her heart, it seems that today she is going to act cute and pretend to be stupid to the end.

Yao Tiantian suppressed the chill in her heart again, and said in a crunchy child's voice again with a thin voice, "Oh, it's so troublesome to engrave the slips. In fact, it's more convenient to exchange the contract."

As soon as Yao Tiantian's words came out, everyone present was stupefied and fell silent. Yao Runzhi and Old Village Chief Yang didn't change at all, but they were all waiting nervously in their hearts.Master Li has been in the officialdom for many years, and he works as a secretary. Naturally, he has a delicate heart. However, at this time, Master Li has a curiosity about Yao Runzhi's uncle and nephew, and he can't help but feel the vague nobility of Yao Runzhi. He couldn't understand, so he chose to close his mouth at this time, and waited and watched.

Compared with the silence of the crowd, the person involved, Huang Dahu, seemed less calm. He seemed to realize something, stroked his wide double chin, narrowed his small triangular eyes, and thought carefully for a while before Huang Dahu turned to Mr. Yang. The village head asked, "Old man Yang, what does this child mean? What do you think?"

Hearing this, Old Village Chief Yang raised his eyelids quietly, and glanced at Master Li who refused to talk much, he smiled honestly, and said honestly, "Master Li is also here, and Yuanwai Huang is from our area again." A well-known and respected squire, I don’t have any other intentions, just come as it is convenient for you.”

Huang Dahu cursed cunningly in his heart, this old man Yang looked honest and sloppy, what he said was soft but hard, his posture was so low, but he sent a child out, relying on a child's words Don't hesitate to start from the beginning, dare to say anything.It happened that I was too careless at the beginning, and they pushed me to this point step by step. If I don't agree with them to exchange the land deed at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it in front of Master Li.

Fortunately, that barren hill is not of much use in his hands. It doesn't produce any food, and it would be too far to send people to cut firewood. Well, it's no big deal to give them that barren mountain.

Huang Dahu thought about it, comforted himself, let go of the suffocation in his chest, but snorted coldly, and said unforgivingly, "You guys have a good plan, take a piece of land for more than 20 taels Yinzi, I have to build another mountain!"

"Then, on behalf of the folks in Yangjiatun, I would like to thank Huang Yuanwai for leaving a way out for everyone." Yao Runzhi looked at the old village chief's heartbroken look, fearing that he would ruin the barren mountain that was so easy to win in order to fight for breath at a critical moment. He quickly clasped his fists at Huang Dahu and Master Li, and agreed to everything.

After Yao Runzhi's smoothing and reminders, the old village head Yang finally endured the words of repentance that he almost blurted out, but followed Huang Dahu's words and said, "Yes, it is indeed much more convenient to exchange the land deeds directly. I am a rough man." , the most troublesome thing is to use the bamboo slip carving knife to engrave characters."

Seeing that both of them expressed their opinions, Mr. Li had a satisfied smile on his face, and said in a concluding statement, "That's good. Today, I've done my best work to the end. I'll be a witness to both of you. You exchanged ideas." The title deed, I took away 15 taels of silver, which was regarded as the imperial grain and national tax of Yangjiatun last year, and village head Yang took the remaining [-] taels of silver to lead people to reclaim the barren hills, and your hunting ground, Huang Dahu, can start immediately."

Up to now, although Huang Dahu accidentally lost a barren mountain, he finally got the geomantic treasure land smoothly. He bowed his hands to Master Li, "Yes, thank you Master Li for fulfilling it." As he spoke, he waved and called "Go, go back and find the third aunt to get the land deed for that mountain."
