The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 204
Xu Yuan was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then do as I say."

Chen Changning closed the folding fan in his hand and stood up: "Then... since this matter is settled, how about I invite Miss Xu to have a meal?"

Li Yin looked up at him vigilantly, he was hostile to everything about this man.

Xu Yuan replied with her usual complexion: "Of course." Anyway, Chen Changning treats guests, and he doesn't eat for nothing.

The group went to Zuixianglou, Xu Yuanke ordered some expensive ones, and Chen Changning let her order without saying anything.

He called Xu Yuan over for dinner just to spend more time together, but he didn't expect such a good reason.

"I heard...you're looking at a house recently?" He picked up the tea in front of him, but his eyes stayed on Xu Yuan.

"How do you know?" She raised her eyes, she didn't seem to have revealed much of the news, and she just went to see it once.

He smiled: "I'm afraid you don't know, that house is the most famous in Yonghua City. Even the slightest disturbance can spread throughout the city."

"Why?" She frowned.

"Because of the layout of the house." He opened the fan and said slowly, "You have also visited it, and you should know how many small yards there are in that house. If you look deeper, there...is a maze .”

"The maze?" She was even more confused. The last time she went to see it, she only walked around the outside. It was normal to see the small courtyard, but she couldn't imagine how complicated it could be inside.

He nodded: "There are ninety-nine and 81 courtyards in total, and the layout of each courtyard is very similar. If you are not careful, you will go to the wrong place."

"That's a really good place." She lowered her eyes, anyway, you can label every yard with a name, can't you?Besides, a lot of yards is what she needs most.

He raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby."

"Tsk." Xu Yuan sighed and didn't speak again.

The waiter in the shop brought up all the food, and several people started to eat.

Li Yin still maintained his usual habit, if there is something delicious, put it in a bowl for Xu Yuan first.

Chen Changning looked at his actions with a bit of taste, such a familiar and natural contact, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to get.

Mo Chou watched from the side, lamenting silently in her heart, wondering when Chen Changning would be able to look away, if he hadn't figured it out early, he might be feeling dejected right now.

"Changning." Xu Yuan suddenly smiled and picked up a chopstick for Chen Changning, "You know the yard so well...do you know how much the yard is sold for?"

Looking at the dishes in the bowl, Chen Changning was flattered, dazzled by her smile, and said after a while, "3 taels of silver."

"Then can you...negotiate the price for my sister?" She still smiled. She didn't think the house was expensive, but if it cost less, who wouldn't?

He came back to his senses, his face turned cold: "No." He said why she was so enthusiastic all of a sudden, because there was something for him to do.

Xu Yuan immediately put away her smile and returned to her usual appearance: "Okay then, eat quickly."

Li Yin poked Xu Yuan quietly under the table, and moved his bowl to her side.

Xu Yuan understood immediately, and put a chopstick of vegetables into his bowl, and then he moved his own bowl back with a smile, and ate the food in big mouthfuls.

The more Chen Changning watched the interaction between the two, the angrier he became, and he left angrily after eating.

Xu Yuan curled her lips, and took Li Yin back to the grain shop inexplicably.

This person's temperament is too cloudy and uncertain!
……

When Xu Chi returned to the village this time, he was really upset.

Not to mention being betrayed by the villagers and humiliated by Zhao Yuanyi's people, if it wasn't for Xu Yuan's letter asking him not to conflict with others, he would have robbed him long ago.

They signed a contract with the villagers, but now it seems like a joke!

When he returned to the city with the only twenty shi of grain left, his heart was full of frustration, and it turned out that the most untestable thing was human nature!
He took the grain directly to the grain store, and asked Chen Yan to lead someone to clean it up, while he sat in the store and sulked.

Li Dashu said Xu Yuan asked not to worry, but how could he not worry?That is related to the survival of the grain store!

How can a grain store continue to operate when it is short of food supply?

"Brother, are you back?" Xu Yuan came in from the door and saw Xu Chi sitting in the middle of the store with a dark face, "Li Yin, you go and help Mr. Chen settle the score first."

Li Yin listened to her words, opened the curtain and went behind.

Xu Chi said, "If it's really impossible, I'll go to the village to grab the grain! I don't believe I can't grab the grain from their fields!"

Xu Yuan laughed: "What's the difference between you and those robbers?"

"Anyway, I just can't take this tone in vain!"

"Don't worry, they don't have any harvest now." Xu Yuan smiled. She had already taken back all the soil in their fields, so the food that grew on the space soil should have withered by now.

"Really?" Xu Chi suddenly regained his energy. They couldn't get food, and they couldn't benefit those ungrateful people, right?

"Really, my soil and fertilizer are time-sensitive. If I don't change it regularly, I won't be able to grow good food." For the time being, she can only find a reason to fool Xu Chi first, and she can't tell him the truth.

He stood up: "That's good! We can't let them get benefits like this!"

"Well, you don't need to worry about this. They are out of food, I believe they will come to me in a few days, and then I will return the soil and fertilizer. If the food grows, it will still be ours." Xu Yuan changed the topic, "However, the most important thing is for us to settle down on that house first."

"Yuanyuan, do you really have 3 taels of silver to buy that house?" Xu Chi still couldn't believe it. This 3 taels was something they never dared to think about in their entire lives!

"Brother, I've told you several times that you don't have to worry about the money, just buy it." Xu Yuan was helpless, why didn't she believe her?

"If there are no accidents, then we will book the house we saw before."

Xu Chi nodded: "Then I will make an appointment with that person as soon as possible."

"Okay. Let's find someone to repair it as soon as it's settled. We need to live in it before winter." Before the cold weather, she wanted to make a kang designed by herself, so that she could sleep warmly.

Xu Chi complied with her words, and when the food shop finished ordering, a group of people went back to Sanxian Pavilion to rest together.

Xu Yuan went back to her room to rest. Now that all the preparations are in order, all she has to do is wait for the result.

……

Zhao Yuanyi has been very proud recently. Now that he has obtained Xu Yuan's grain source and cut it off directly, then the only good food in Yonghua City is his family. At that time, he can increase the price as much as he wants. how high.

He comfortably picked up the teacup in front of him, as if he had already seen his happy days in the future.

"Master! Master! It's not good!"
