Chapter 111

After hearing her mother's words, Mrs. Wang's heart moved, "Is that really the case? Did you find the spring?"

Mrs. Wang said: "I'm your mother, why should I lie to you? But they are not from Qingyang County, and they are going to sell the Zhuangzi. I think they can really make a lot of money. People's luck is really I can't tell, let me tell you, didn't you say that the Hou Ye and Mrs. Tai in your capital like to soak in hot springs? If you can handle this well, you won't have to worry about not being able to gain a foothold in your Zhang family. "

"Mom, you are right. If this is true, I really want to take a closer look! I just don't know how much they will sell it for!"

"My silly girl, are you still going to buy it yourself? That's not possible! You just let your son-in-law tell the owner of the matter, and then they go to discuss it with the Du family. Anyway, you have a part in it. "My daughter really doesn't have a few taels of silver on hand, how can I buy a Zhuangzi with hot springs?
Wang said: "Then let my brother talk about it."

Mrs. Wang said: "Oh, you still can't figure it out. You should let your son-in-law talk about this matter. If your son-in-law wins the family's favor, he will naturally remember your credit. For this woman, after she gets married, her husband will be herself." I have relied on you all my life, I know you love your brother, but if you really want to tell your brother instead of your husband, then your son-in-law will also remember and hate you in the future, so live a good life, and other mothers won't think too much about it. "

I don't know what it said there, but after a few days, someone from the Zhang family came. At that time, Du Youzhong was gone to the county school, and it was Du Dalang who greeted him.

The person who came was very polite, as if he was a man from the Zhang family.As he said, he was about to go to see the Zhuangzi. Du Dalang rode a horse and took people to see it.

He said that after reading it, he went back to discuss it, and Du Dalang had no objection.After all, the Zhang family is not a local ruffian, and would not do such a robbery. Moreover, Du Youzhong is not a commoner, but has a reputation, or a school official. No one with this status would look for bad luck like that.

In the end, the Zhang family was very satisfied, and the price they paid was also very happy. After all, the Zhang family is a big family, and they have a lot of shops. They have a backing behind them, and they are better than others in doing business.

What's more, if this hot spring village is done well, then the favor of the capital's family will be much better than the thousand 200 taels!

Originally, the gifts they gave each year were thousands of taels, and this Zhuangzi was in the local area, so they couldn't take it away, and the people in the same family just came back to soak in it, and they could get a lot of benefits.

In addition, Du Youzhong himself is also a juren, so it is worth the price.

So the original purchase of 200 taels was directly sold for 200 taels, a sixfold increase!
What was once a bad thing has become a good thing.Du Yu's family was very happy to solve this hot potato and make money.

Of course, the Zhang family asked this matter to be kept low-key, and it is naturally impossible for the Du family to publicize it everywhere. Even Mrs. Wang was warned not to talk about this matter everywhere.

So Du Yu's family made a fortune in a low-key manner.Erlang also sighed, if this kind of thing happened more times, I don't know how good it would be.

But Hu said: "This time it's luck. How can we be so lucky everywhere? If it's true that the place is a hot place, the 200 taels will be a loss. To be a person, one must be down-to-earth!"

Both Du Youzhong and Du Dalang learned from this incident. Du Dalang did not inquire about the situation carefully, so he was almost fooled. growth.

But Du Youzhong planned that in the future, he still had to be cautious about buying fields and land, and he couldn't be careless just because he wanted to buy property for his family.

Of course, Du Youzhong wanted to buy that Zhuangzi at that time because it was basically good, and Li Wenshu was the middleman.In addition, Da Lang was sent to look at it, and the problem was not serious, so I bought it.

In short, no one is perfect, Du Youzhong will make mistakes, and it is impossible to do everything right.But Du Youzhong is responsible, even if he is wrong, he will find a way to make up for it, instead of complaining about this or that, he doesn't look like a man.

Of course, Mrs. Qi also knew about this, and said with a smile to Mrs. Qi: "It's a pity, if the master is still here for a second term, I will buy it too. Then a large hot spring village, it is not worth it if it is done. Ten thousand taels of silver?" Even if you don't sell it, you still save yourself to go to the bubble bath to relieve your fatigue.

Master Qi also smiled and said: "It's good if the Zhang family bought it, otherwise we really bought it with money, and then someone deliberately finds fault and will use this as an argument." Although it was bought with his own money, others would will be suspicious.

"Yes, the master is right, it's my concubine's lack of consideration." Mrs. Qi said hastily.

However, the Du family was quite self-aware, knowing that they couldn't keep this thing in their hands, so they sold it, and the price wasn't too high.If this were in the capital, a hot spring village would cost more than 1 taels.

What's more, it is useless to build this hot spring village without a lot of money in hand, so Mrs. Qi said that the Du family is aware of current affairs.

"It's a pity! The Du family is such a good family!" Mrs. Qi sighed.

Master Qi was annoyed when he thought about his eldest daughter, but he would not talk about his eldest son and the Du family's daughter together, after all, he was his eldest son, and there were many relatives in the capital, so he could do whatever he wanted. Speaking of one, they are stronger than the Du family.

The only one that was suitable made such a big commotion again.

Forget it, he shouldn't think about the matter with the Du family. He just needs to use Du Youzhong as much as possible in the future. His term of office will be up next year, and everything here in Qingyang County has nothing to do with him.

Besides, Dong's second child, ever since he knew that his original Zhuangzi was really a hot spring Zhuangzi, he felt regretful and stomped his feet.

It's a pity that this Zhuangzi now directly belongs to the Zhang family, and it is impossible for him to go to the Zhang family to buy back his own things.

If he had known that when he and Li Wenshu were going to break up, he would have just bought that Zhuangzi back. If that was the case, what would he worry about now?
It's a pity that money is hard to buy, if I knew it earlier, it would be too late!

As for Li Wenshu, he really didn't pay attention to him, he was just a small official of the county government, and he was still making money on his side, and he dared to beat him!He will look good in the future!
This Dong Laoer hadn't waited for him to show Li Wenshu a good look, but one of his shops was found out for tax evasion, and he directly got it to the county government. The 200 taels Dong Laoer finally got was also paid out.The shop was also sealed.

Now the business can't be done anymore, his wife and children are arguing with him every day, and finally found out that his wife can't live in the county, saying that he has no face to stay in the county, if he doesn't leave, she will take the children let's go.

Dong Lao Er's wife had no other choice, for fear that Dong Lao Er would play around every day in the county town and waste all the money on hand.

It's better to stay in the country and get by anyway.

Dong Laoer was troubled by his wife and children, and the money on hand was becoming scarce day by day, so the business could not be done. He had no choice but to pack up and take the children to the countryside to settle down.

Since then, I have never been frightened in Qingyang County again.

Li Wenshu knew that Dong Lao Er had gone back to the countryside in despair, and thought to himself, he knew the truth early, otherwise he would have to break his fortune!
Because Mr. Qi will resign next year, so in winter, there will not be so many things, and everyone knows that the Ministry of Officials has also appointed a candidate for Qingyang County, who is going from the capital to the county. Here to catch it.

Du Yu's father is a school official, so it doesn't matter who becomes the magistrate.

However, Zhou Xiancheng, who had the most hope of being promoted to be the magistrate, failed to get his wish this time, so he was in a bad mood.

Mr. Qi has perfect merits and virtues. I heard that the performance evaluations are all excellent. This time when he returns to the capital, eight or nine out of ten will be promoted to a higher level, and he may not necessarily be a magistrate or a general magistrate.At that time, even though he was working under the command of the prefect, his rank had risen to a higher level. In these days, who wouldn't want to be promoted.

Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Du Yu's father has been discussing with Zhou Jiaoyu about next year's county examination.There is no way, next year will be the time when the old and new county magistrates will change. If this is not done well, the new county magistrate will not blame the old county magistrate, but will only blame them for not doing a good job.

Last time, Du Youzhong handed over the money from the sale of Zhuangzi to the Hu family. After all, the money was 200 taels taken from their private house, and the whole family worked together to find a way to earn it. It doesn't mean that Du Youzhong was selfish. With his life getting better and better, it is reasonable for him not to take back the 200 taels. After all, he will have to socialize in the future, and he will go to the capital to take the exam in a few years, and his two sons are getting bigger and bigger. He has to think about them.

If life in his hometown is miserable, and he still keeps the money in his hands, then it's really worthless.

Du Yu felt that his father's plan was very good. After all, they never asked for money in their hometown, and they lived on their father's money.

In other words, they never interfered with the income from the [-] mu of land, it was all taken by their hometown.

Her father is not a foolish and filial person, he knows when to take money and when to contribute.

Everyone has selfish intentions, Du Yu thinks his father has done a good job.

However, his father was also willing to use the [-] mu of land to support his family.

With the 200 taels, Du Yu's life is still the same as before, and it has not become extravagant.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, Du Yu and his mother began to go to the streets every day to buy things and bring them back when they were going back.

Mrs. Hu is going to make fur clothes for all three of Du Yu's brothers and sisters, which will look nice and warm to wear.

"Mom, let's buy it for grandpa and grandma first, we'll talk about it later," Du Yu said.

"Your grandma, she doesn't want to wear that. It's okay. Don't be afraid of your grandma saying that we are outside. It is decent to dress well. Your grandma also told me that."
