Chapter 235 Good News

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Chunying almost didn't jump up immediately.

her house? !Hu Fei wasn't joking, was he? !

She quickly glanced at Shi'er, then pulled Hu Fei to the wall, and asked in a low voice, "Are you confused? Since your name is written on the deed, how could it become my house? Besides , our family is a family with children, and if we get these things in our hands, if the superiors find out, we will not be able to keep them, what are you spending this money for?!"

Hu Fei smiled and patted her hand lightly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm not confused yet. I know your family's current situation and it's not easy to buy property, but I use the money you deposited with me for this house." If you bought it, it’s your family’s real estate. Aunt Lu Shulu and your family of three are crowded in this small yard with the Wang family. Don’t you think it’s inconvenient? The Wang family’s son lives in someone else’s house, although Relatives, but after a long time, there will be complaints. It's better to move out of your family and live in another place. You can be more comfortable, and the Wang family can feel at ease. If you want Xiaohu, you can also send a message to Brother Lu , wouldn’t it be cheap for both sides to take Xiaohu over to live for a few days?”

After Chunying thought about it, she felt that it made sense. Although she and Shi'er were close friends and got along well with the Wang family, the two families lived together in the same small courtyard for a long time, and quarrels and conflicts were inevitable. Not to mention the loss of family friendship, she and Shi'er were caught in the middle, so it was difficult to do.From her personal point of view, it's okay to live in the same room with Shi'er, she has long been used to it, but sharing a narrow bed together is really not comfortable, presumably Shi'er feels the same way, right?

She couldn't help but glanced at Shi'er, but saw the other party coming out carrying a small cloth bag, glanced at them, curled her lips, and walked out.She hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Shi'er stopped and turned around, flirting with the cloth bag: "Sister-in-law Zhang across the door asked me to make new clothes for her two children this morning. I agreed, and I will go to her house to do it now, so don't disturb me!"

Chun Ying blushed when she heard the words, and said in an embarrassing way: "Who said you disturbed us..."

Shi'er held back his smile: "I didn't mention 'you', you thought so yourself!" Seeing Hu Fei making a bow to himself, he turned his head and snickered for a while, then turned around and said, "That's all, and Forgive me! It was I who wanted to go and see the two children. I like to make bright red and green clothes for the children! And I can just pull some fine cloth and make a large batch. I can make whatever style I like. Picky!" After saying that, he hummed softly, held his head up and walked away.

As soon as Chunying heard her words, she knew that she was insinuating a few words from the Wang family sent by the third young master two days ago. Okay, there is just one thing, since the house was bought with my money, it’s fine, but the ownership of this house is very problematic. We are a family with children, and the property is owned by the owner in name. If people know that we bought the property , Report it to your wife, it will still be confiscated."

Hu Fei thought for a while: "Is this... you can discuss it with Aunt Lu Shulu, you can write the house deed in the names of your sister and brother-in-law, then you don't have to worry about it, right?"

Thinking of the two yards her father bought, Chunying nodded, but she was a little squeamish: "My father... you have to talk about it, otherwise, he will think that you paid for it...he will be angry, no Willing to move there..." My father has already mentioned this issue to her, don't take the money and property that Hu Fei gave, lest people misunderstand that there is no innocence between her and him.She also hinted it to Hu Fei, so he bought some cheap things to please her.Real estate is considered a very valuable thing, so we must clarify the facts!

But then, Chunying quickly realized that she hadn't told her father about the money yet!Can't help but wipe off the cold sweat of guilty conscience - she seems to always forget the existence of this money...

Hu Fei looked at her expression carefully, and asked softly, "Do you want to see the house?"

Chunying was a little hesitant, she wanted to go, but she was afraid that she would like it after seeing it, but if her father refused to agree, her disappointment would be doubled, so she said, "Wait for parents to go and see it together... What kind of house is it?"

"It's actually very ordinary." Hu Fei smiled lightly, "It's no different from the houses of ordinary people in this village. There are three rooms in total, two bright and one dark. As long as you tidy up a little, you can live comfortably. The yard is quite big, there is a large open space behind the house, half of which is planted with mulberry trees, and there are two vegetable fields in the corner of the yard, but they have long been abandoned. If Aunt Lu had Take it easy, tidy up, or grow some melons and vegetables for fun."

Chunying was a little longing to hear it: "It sounds very good? Who did you buy it from? Why is that person willing to sell it to you?" Most of the people in this village lived here for generations. No one will sell the house, will they?
Hu Fei laughed and said, "Have you forgotten? When Mrs. Peng came to visit her daughter's grandson yesterday, didn't she mention that the family living opposite her, surnamed Ou, has a son who works as a waiter in a small tavern in the town. Where did I get rich and bought a small courtyard in the town, and I want to take my parents over to enjoy the blessings. His house is no longer needed, so I bought it."

Is there such a coincidence?Chunying glanced at him, saw that Hu Fei kept smiling and showed no signs of abnormality, so she cast a glance at him: "I don't care, anyway... as long as you buy his house in a serious way!" 60 Liang Buying a small farmyard with silver is considered a fair price in the rural areas around the capital.

Hu Fei just laughed, and put the deed into his sleeve: "Don't worry, with you watching, is it possible that I still dare to use tricks? Even if I dare, there is no reason to do it in front of you?" He looked at it meaningfully. Chunying took a look.

Chunying bit her lip, raised her hand to pat him, and couldn't help laughing, before she said: "Speaking of which, although the three of us move out to live, it will be more comfortable, but to be honest...we don't Knowing when you can return to the city, wouldn’t it be a waste if you live in this house for less than a year or so?” But if you live in it for a year or so, it would be too sad!

Hu Fei smiled: "You may not have a good life in this village. You have been here for nearly ten days, and you know the people in the village. But besides planting mulberry trees and food, do they have any income?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Chunying became energetic: "Why not?! I heard from Mrs. Peng that there seems to be a big village nearby, and there is no water source in the village. It just so happens that there is a river next to it on our side. Passing through, so the people in the village paid monthly to get water from the river for irrigation. The money was collected by Guanshi Cao, and it was divided with Zhao and Zeng, the supervisors, and no one in the mansion knew! "

Hu Fei smiled: "This is just a small amount of money, haven't you heard that there is something in the forest east of Zhuangzi?"

"The forest in the east?" Chunying was a little puzzled, "I only know that the avenue over there is the only way for us to go to and from the capital. After a few glances, it's nothing special? It's just that there are many trees, so I can't see where the forest is. Where."

Hu Fei blinked and lowered his voice: "Actually... that's the royal land..."

"Huh?!" Chunying was taken aback, only to hear Hu Fei say: "Across the forest over there, further forward is the border of the Royal South Garden, where the emperor and princes and ministers go hunting and having fun. However, because the two successive emperors did not love this place, it was a bit deserted, and no one paid attention to this border area. Since the accession to the throne, I have never been free, and I only had a lucky one, but Many sons of princes and ministers in Beijing rode horses to play and disturb the people when they had nothing to do. Therefore, the emperor decreed that they were not allowed to mess around outside. If they wanted to play, they would come to Nanyuan. People visit the garden over there."

Chunying never imagined that the green woodland seen from a distance would have such a background, so she hurriedly asked: "Why have I never heard from people in this village? Speaking of which, we are so close, at least we should Did you see the attendants of a few big families?"

Hu Fei said with a smile: "Although Nanyuan has a great background, it is more than ten miles away from the nearest gate here. We are only close to the corner. Besides, it has been abandoned for many years. Many places are not Return to the previous situation. However, the current admiral there is a person who is good at management. Because there are many princes and princes to play, he specially ordered Haihu to open a restaurant nearby. As long as people go hunting in Nanyuan, no matter what the harvest is If you pay more than a hundred taels of silver, you can buy a table of noodles and a variety of game delicacies, whether you enjoy it yourself or entertain friends, it is very decent. After a year, just this money , there are several thousand taels, and it is said that the Holy Majesty has heard about it, as long as he does not delay his serious errands, he will be regarded as ignorant."

Chunying blinked: "What does this have to do with Zhuangzi? Can people here still make money from Nanyuan?"

Hu Fei raised his eyebrows: "Why not? Although the water and plants are abundant there, many rare birds and animals are raised, and many fruits and vegetables are planted, but they are all for the royal family to enjoy. Besides, after many years, there are not many left. Prepare for the arrival of the holy car! You can't ask the emperor to come, just to eat the northwest wind in front of the empty garden? But, those princes and princes come, if there is no prey, it is also a disappointment, so the chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep in the garden Ah, deer... Most of them are collected from outside, and even [-]% of the fruits and vegetables on the table are purchased from outside, otherwise, no matter how many things there are, they won’t be enough to waste!"

Chunying hurriedly said: "You mean that this village still has the ability to supply Nanyuan?! But I have been here for a few days, and apart from farmland, mulberry forests, fish ponds and small rivers, I have not seen any other places where we can grow crops. These?!"

"That's the matter of the forest over there." Hu Fei glanced to the east, "There is a large open space in the forest over there, there is a water source passing by, the grass is also lush, and the surrounding trees can still cover a part or two, so the village on the The people there kept many deer there, and there were some golden pheasants and rabbits. When they grew up, someone from Nanyuan would come to collect them. This was done without telling the truth, and all income was not included in the public house, except for Zhuangtou and two supervisors. Well, the people in the village will also get a share of the money at the end of the year, so they won't disclose it easily. Most of the mulberries produced in the village are sold there."

Chunying opened her mouth wide, and it took a while before she breathed out: "If our family can join in, we can have a good life in the village, right?"

"Isn't it? In fact, Cao, Zhao, and Zeng's family, except for the residence in the village, each family has a house in the town, but they just hide it from their superiors."

Chunying looked at Hu Fei strangely: "I am the son of the Hou family. I have lived in the village for a few days and I don't know about it. Where did you find out?"

Hu Fei turned his eyes away, and stared at the tuft of dry grass on the wall instead: "Ah... I just asked..."

Chunying looked at him suspiciously, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Did you ask him out by getting him drunk, or did you stuff money? Otherwise... just gave him other benefits?"

Hu Fei blushed and cleared his throat: "Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong. Well, let's get down to business. In fact, this business is good. If we can buy a small village, we can also raise some birds and animals, grow some melons and fruits, and sell them. The people in Nanyuan also have a good income. Even if the business cannot be done, there are many sea households living nearby, and they also want to eat and drink. The people in the Hou Mansion don’t know this, they just think it’s a poor place. ..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yougui walked in from the door, and when he saw them talking together, he lowered his face, and saw that there was no one in the room, his face became even more ugly.

Chunying carefully said to him: "Father... Brother Xiaofei brought a message from brother-in-law... it's good news!"

"Oh?" Lu Yougui glanced at Hu Fei, "Is it your brother-in-law's news, or someone else sent the news under your brother-in-law's name? I just came from outside, but I heard Mr. Peng mention a big news What about the news!"

Chunying's scalp went numb, and she turned her head to look at Hu Fei. The two looked at each other with "bad" expressions in their eyes.
