I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 681 Encounter with Zhao Yalang

Looking at Xiao Wu's already opened facial features, she couldn't boast that this baby is really good-looking. He takes advantage of the advantages of the original owner and his wife, with a handsome face and deep brows, showing rigor.

 At the age of seventeen, he has a slender body. He looks like a hundred and seventy-eighth by visual inspection, and he may be a little taller.

Although his skin is not pampered and fair, it is healthy and rosy. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a contemporary young talent.

　　Although their family background is relatively low, this boy is good at studying and is a good youngster.

“It turns out that someone pinched me seven inches.”

Baiyunxi turned around and saw Zhao Yalang greeting her by the roadside, and asked Wenyou to pull over the oxcart.

“Where is the Duan family? Is there any news?”

Zhao Yalang said, looking at Baiyunxi with great interest, and lowered his voice when talking about the price.

Hearing the news from Wenyou, Baiyunxi nodded clearly.

“The general market price of medium-sized dry land is about five guan. Wang Xiangshen has been ill recently, so he offered four guan per acre. I asked Zhao to help find a buyer. Unexpectedly, I met you, Sister-in-law Bai, today.”

“Aunt Bai, I conveyed your words to Xie Yu, and he asked me to convey my thanks to you.”

In this era, scholars, farmers, and merchants have endless money to spend and endless wealth, but due to their limited status, it is difficult to integrate into the circles of nobles.

“Of course there is no problem with this. After reading it, we will discuss it in detail.”

“Don’t worry, mom, I’ll be careful.”

 Fortunately, her cow often travels between villages and towns, and has long known the road, and can walk home even with her eyes closed.

 She seemed to have heard the old man say that all the domesticated animals seemed to know how to return home.

 The time was agreed upon, and Wenyou drove the ox cart directly out of the town and back home.

"Aunt Bai, don't worry. Xie Yu is not a freeloader. He is smart. Besides, the Ma family is not a big family. Ma Ruren's father is a retired county chief secretary and a ninth-grade official."

She was very curious about Xie Yu’s maternal grandfather’s family.

“By coincidence, it’s one mile east of Xiaofangzhuang. It belongs to the Wang family. Squire Wang is old and has too much property to take care of it, so he wants to sell part of the property.”

"The Duan family has its roots in Fucheng. I heard that he is a powerful businessman and very rich. But what really makes Xie County Magistrate taboo is Xie Yu's aunt. I heard that she is married to Fucheng Tongpan, a sixth-grade An. people."

The situation of the Ma family was untouchable in the eyes of the people, but on the inside they were living in a pinch and miserable.

“Well, is everything okay at home?” Taken together, she has been out for four days, which is also the longest time she has been away from home in a long time.

In addition to assisting the prefect in handling government affairs, the Tongpan's responsibilities include military and civilian matters, money and grain, household registration, taxes, prison litigation and other state affairs that must be co-signed by the Tongpan to be effective.

 “Zhao Yalang is polite.”

Hearing his mother’s reminder and thinking about the episode in the garden just now, Xiao Wu frowned.

Those poor students are their first choice.

After saying a few words to Xiao Wu, Wenyou had already hitched up the bullock cart.

She originally wanted to be a landowner, so the more land the better.

“Sister-in-law Bai, did you just come back from the county?”

“When Xie Yu meets such a stepmother, she is indeed enough to drink a pot of water. As for whether he can avoid it, it depends on his methods.”

 Businessmen are very profit-oriented. Once they get into the trap, it will be as difficult as climbing up to the sky if they want to break out.

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty four. One hundred and forty six. Seventy-one

 In her free time, she went for a walk, and without asking any questions, she almost knew the situation of the Ma family.

 At dusk, the bullock cart entered Huici Town.

People are poor but have short ambitions. No wonder the Maru people are fixated on Xie Yu’s mother’s dowry. In addition to maintaining the dignity of her mistress, she also has to take care of her family. No wonder she is so eager for success.

Bai Yunxi shook his head. That Ma Ruren had an impure mind and could even take advantage of his own niece. He probably had a lot of dirty tricks.

Seeing Bai Yunxi nod, Zhao Yalang smiled and took a step forward.

"Yesterday, Mr. Zhao acquired another hundred acres of Zhuangzi. It is all dry land. I have checked it out. It is quite fertile and belongs to medium-sized farmland. I wonder if Sister-in-law Bai is interested in it?"

Although he didn't think anyone would go out of his way to plot against him, since his mother mentioned it, he would have better pay more attention.

 Hearing about the farm property, Baiyunxi immediately became energetic.

“Dry land? Where is it located and what is the price?”

"After Mr. Ma retired, his descendants were mediocre people for the next life. They lived on a little land and a few shops, and their family was in a poor situation. In order to maintain the dignity of the official family, he married his daughter to the county magistrate as a sequel. It was considered a high achievement. Now, the whole family depends on this aunt."

It’s easy to hide from open guns but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Living under the same roof every day, if you are attacked, you will inevitably react badly.

 Medium dry farmland costs four dollars per acre, and the price is quite moderate, but she has to see the details.

I heard that county magistrates are assessed every three years. If you can't even get a good word, tsk tsk, that's miserable enough.

 Aunt Xie Yu has such a status, Ma Ruren is brave enough to still care about the original wife's property.

Baiyunxi thought about the savings in the locker. If he bought a hundred acres, he could afford it.

 It is a popular bet in merchant circles to support their education and career, and then let them protect the family.

“Mom, are you finally back?”

 Furthermore, Tongpan has the power to supervise officials, and is also called Jianzhou by local officials.        is also the scariest one.

“The price sounds okay. How about the details? Zhao Yalang will take us to see it in person tomorrow morning. How about it?”

In the event of being in a person, the son ran away as the son -in -law, and the next generation was definitely an excellent variety, cough ... She cried and had no place.

 Hearing Bai Yunxi’s suggestion, Zhao Yalang directly agreed.

 Purchasing land is a major matter for the family, so it is natural to think carefully about it. When you are satisfied and discuss the price, it is a sincere transaction.

Wenyou sat cross-legged on the cart and spoke softly. This afternoon, Ma Ruren took her niece away with a worried look on her face. Aunt Bai asked her to go find Xie Yu and tell him Ma Ruren's plan.

Having reached the halfway point, it became completely dark.

 Listening to Wenyou's narration, Baiyunxi nodded, one word, poor.

As the old saying goes, cats have cat paths and dogs have dog paths. In short, all roads lead to Rome. Those merchants who want to consolidate their wealth and make more money often sponsor some poor students who are talented in reading.

Baiyunxi said goodbye to the Zhang family, entrusted Xiao Wu to Dean Zhang, then got on the bullock cart and drove leisurely out of the county town.

　　When they appeared at the door of their home, Bai Anyan was shocked.

Just after walking for a while, someone called me and stopped me.

 “Sister-in-law Bai, please stay.”

“Don’t worry, mom, everything is fine at home.”

Bai Anyan said, helping Wenyou lead the oxcart into the yard and send it to the next yard to feed fodder.
