The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 53 Unexpected visitor
In fact, Qing Shu herself didn't want to wear it to go out, but Su's mother had been nagging her since last night, telling her to wear the best clothes to go out today, so as not to be looked down upon by others and go to the ancient mansion.In this way, Qing Shu followed Mother Su and put on this dress that was too ostentatious for the current situation of the ancient mansion.

The sky was drizzling, Qingshu and Qingyang went out from the back door of the ancient mansion in a carriage, and went straight to Ruyi Restaurant in Dongshi.

Due to the rainy weather and the fact that it was not yet time to serve customers, the Ruyi Restaurant was cold and deserted. Except for the waiters and shopkeepers, there was not a single customer in the lobby on the first floor.

When Qingshu and his group came to the door, the waiter warmly greeted them.With a light veil covering Qingshu's face, she led Qingyang in the middle, with Gu Qiang in front and Xiaojuan, Xiaoyu and Yuanbao following behind.

Gu Qiang whispered something to the clerk, and the clerk rushed to whisper something to the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper, who was fat, got up immediately and went forward, personally led Qingshu and his party to the innermost private room on the second floor of Ruyi Restaurant, ordered the staff to serve tea and snacks, and then retreated.

After a while, someone knocked on the door of their private room, Gu Qiang went out to deal with it, and then turned back quickly, "Miss, the other party has arrived and is drawing up a contract."

Qing Shu nodded, "You go and watch over it. After you have drafted it for review, if there is nothing wrong with it, bring it over for me to review."

Gu Qiang went out as promised, and guarded the door of the private room together with the buyer's housekeeper.After a while, he came back and handed over the contract drawn up by the other party.

Qing Shu took it, looked at it, and found that it was the same as what was agreed upon verbally.

5000 taels of silver bought the Gu family's 150-mu large farm and 150-mu small farm.The immature crops and vegetables in the field; the houses on the farm, the chickens, ducks, cattle and all the farm tools are all owned by the buyer.After the transfer of ownership between the two parties at the Yamen, the buyer will first take over the small farm of [-] mu, and the big farm of [-] mu will be taken over on July [-]th.The relationship between Datianzhuang and its tenant farmers must be fulfilled this year, and the buyer will naturally have the final say next year.

After reading it, Qingshu handed it to Qingyang.She felt that although his younger brother was young, he was also a member of the family, and he would be the one who would support the entire Gu family in the future. He had the right to know and should know about major family events.

After Qingyang finished reading, he raised his head to look at Qingshu, "Sister, will uncle be angry?" He only knew that his sister was going to confront uncle, and he didn't understand the twists and turns.

Qing Shu laid out the contract on the table, "This is left to us by father, not uncle. Uncle bullied us and took advantage of us all these years. We should be angry. From today on, Xiaoyang Remember, you can call him uncle when you meet, but you have to be clear in your heart that he is just a stranger, not our real relative. We can't let him bully us in the future. Similarly, we can't let him occupy half of us. It’s cheaper than a copper plate.”

Qingyang obediently agreed, "Xiaoyang remembers."

Qingshu picked up the writing brush that was prepared at hand, dipped it in ink, and slowly wrote the name while saying, "Today we have to sell the farm, and my sister will sign. When we have the opportunity to buy land in the future, it will be signed by Xiaoyang, Xiaoyang." Yang will have his own land."

Qingyang listened carefully, seeing her sister put away the pen, and with the mentality of helping her sister to do things, she leaned over with her small mouth and blew on the ink.

Qing Shu's eyes turned hot, such a well-behaved and sensible child, even she, a latecomer, couldn't help feeling sorry for her, what made Gu Ye's mother-in-law's heart so that she could turn a blind eye to the present?Since ancient times, patriarchal patriarchal, Gu Ye doesn't care if she can explain it like this, but Qingyang is a boy, and he is the only male in the Gu family who can pass on incense, Gu Ye also doesn't care, this mother really doesn't know what to say .

When the ink was dry, Qingyang raised his head with a sense of accomplishment, "Sister, it's done."

Qingshu pinched his little face lightly, "Xiaoyang is the most powerful." and signaled Gu Qiang to go to work.

The seller and the buyer sat in the adjacent private room on the second floor of Ruyi Restaurant, with their own housekeepers running errands in between, and signed the contract quickly.Qingshu got a copy of the contract and a banknote of 5000 taels of silver, and then took out the land deeds of two farms and handed them over to Gu Qiang, who asked Gu Qiang to follow the other party's people to the yamen to handle related matters.

After everything was done, Qingshu left the private room and hurriedly left Ruyi Restaurant with her.

Immediately afterwards, two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, walked out of the private room next door. They were all wealthy people in their attire.The two of them hugged each other, the short one went downstairs and left Ruyi restaurant in a carriage, while the tall one went up to the third floor, knocked on the door of the restaurant owner's resting room, and walked in.

Inside the door is a spacious living room.The decorations inside are all expensive, but they only show grandeur, not extravagance.On the north wall is a framed landscape painting. A man is standing in front of the painting with one hand behind his back, as if he is concentrating on admiring the painting.

He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, with a silk sash of the same color around his waist, brown soft-soled boots, and his black hair tied high with a royal blue ribbon. He stood there quietly, with a feeling of alienation all over his body.

The tall middle-aged man didn't dare to speak, and stood quietly in the door.

After a while, the man didn't turn his head back, "Is it done?" The voice sounded very young, but it was cold and indifferent, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The tall, middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Yes, sir. This is the title deed, and put the small one on the table." Then, he took out the title deed from his sleeve, took a few steps forward, put it on the table, and then returned to the original place, " Make an appointment with the steward to take over the hundred-acre Zhuangzi in the afternoon."

"If you have any request, just accept it and fully cooperate. Remember, before July [-]th, no one should leak the slightest bit of information." After the man said, he waved his hand to let the tall man back down.

The misty drizzle lingered in the capital for a day, and it didn't stop before people went to bed at night.In the morning of the second day, the rain stopped, but the sky was not completely cleared, it was overcast, the air contained moisture, and there was a faint smell of earth.

Qing Shu thinks that this kind of weather is the most suitable for eating noodle soup.Eating strong hand-rolled noodles and drinking hot noodle soup, it is not to mention how comfortable it is.So, looking at the sky outside, I didn't care about clean noodles, so I quickly ordered Xiaoyu to go to the kitchen to have a look. If Xu Sanniang's rice hasn't been cooked, and the miscellaneous grain noodles have not been cooked, then stop quickly. It doesn't matter if it's late. Let's have breakfast today You have to eat hot noodles, noodles made of white flour, and improve your meal once.

Seeing Qingshu's anxious look, Xiaoyu trotted all the way to the kitchen and trotted all the way back.Xu Sanniang thought she had heard it wrong, so she asked her daughter, Xiaoya, to watch the stove fire, and ran along with her.

"Miss, hu... huh... no, the rice is not in the pot... the steamed buns are not steamed." Xiao Yu reported panting.

"Miss, the water in the pot has just boiled, and the servants are just about to wash the rice and cook porridge. Miss Xiaoyu said that the miss ordered the whole house to eat noodles boiled with white flour this morning. Miss, is this true?" Xu Sanniang asked anxiously, full of emotion. face of doubt.Can she not feel uneasy?In recent days, the two young masters ate coarse grains with their servants, but now they suddenly say that the whole house eats noodles made of white flour, I really can't believe it.
