"Hua Yanxi, do you have to kill everyone like this? Is there anything we can't discuss carefully?"
"I want those properties."
"No, we can discuss other things besides those." Hua Shao said with a cold face.
Even if he really had to sacrifice those properties, he might as well sell them to others. At least there would be a lot left after paying off the debt. How could he possibly get a bargain from Hua Yanxi?
This time, Hua Yanxi did not forcefully kidnap someone. Instead, she said: "It's better than this. Father, think about it, what property do you have in your hands that hasn't appreciated in value over the years, or even if you buy it, it won't affect you?"
Basically, as long as I don’t feel disadvantaged and my father is willing to part with me, we can still talk.”
This is giving Hua Shao the opportunity.
An idea popped into Hua Shao's mind, Laozhai.
The place where the Hua family lives in Luoyang is the old house of the Xu family. The house occupies a large area and has been home to several generations of the Xu family.
Originally, Hua Shao wanted to sell it, but because of the Xu family's great reputation in Luoyang, many people who had been favored by the Xu family went to express condolences in front of the door, completely treating it as a Bodhisattva temple. If
Selling it for no reason would definitely damage his face, so he kept it.
But as long as he stayed in that house for a day, Hua Shao felt that he would never be able to take off his reputation as a door-to-door son-in-law, even if he had changed the Xu family into the Hua family.
Anyway, he now plans to show off his talents in the capital, and he will soon cooperate with the imperial court, with a bright future, so the old house is of no use to him.
"I'll give you the title deed of the old house." Hua Shao said in a deep voice.
Hua Yanxi's heart was moved, but her face was full of dissatisfaction: "Is father really sincere in talking to me? I am now married to the capital, not in Luoyang. Besides, one of my married daughters has taken over the old house. What is this?
, People outside who don’t know the truth probably think that I married into the royal family and didn’t care about my family, so I took over the house and drove them away.”
Hua Shao was still a little sore at first, but when he heard what Hua Yanxi said, he felt that it was very appropriate. It was like killing two birds with one stone, not only getting rid of the shadow left by the Xu family, but also throwing dirty water on Hua Yanxi.
As a result, his attitude has improved a lot: "You said it yourself that you want to exchange it with equal value. That old house is the hard work of the Xu family's ancestors for several generations. Can it be measured in silver? It's said to be the Xu family's house."
An ancestral hall is not an exaggeration.”
Hua Yanxi frowned: "I'm a married woman, what can I do with the ancestral hall and ruin my reputation? Unless I add some chips."
"What do you want to add? I'm warning you first, don't push yourself too far. It's impossible to get an industry." Hua Shao said warily.
Hua Yanxi thought carefully and said, "In that case, doesn't the Hua family have a thousand acres of fertile land? I still want that."
"Thousand acres of fertile land, Hua Yanxi, you are like a lion. Do you know how much money a thousand acres of fertile land can fetch just by selling the land? Do you know how much food is produced in a year? Is that food produced? Is that produced?
What a waste of money!" Hua Shao said emotionally.
Hua Yanxi said doubtfully: "Really? I don't know about this, but now the food will not go up. I'm afraid my father doesn't know. Except for the Hua family, the food is still at the original price. The prices of other families are being adjusted downwards."
, and I also heard that the higher authorities were planning to increase grain taxes, so I didn’t think too much about it. After all, I’m not familiar with farming.”
Hua Shao glared at Hua Yanxi. She still had the nerve to ask why the grain prices were reduced. Wasn't it a good thing she did?
He later heard that the unfilial daughter in front of him sold grain at cost price for a fool's birthday, causing him to lose a lot of money.
However, increasing taxes?
This is not impossible. If you look at the royal family's cooperation with others, you can see that the treasury must be empty, so taxes must be increased.
Hua Shao fell into thinking again.
Hua Yanxi was not in a hurry. She sat aside and played with her waist again, but she was thinking about what preparations she should make as Xiaobai's coming-of-age ceremony was coming soon.
Turning into an adult at the age of eighteen is a big event. His relatives will definitely not miss him. She has to make plans for him.
At this moment, Aunt Qing and Hua Yun'er had been tied up. They were still shouting at first, but their clever subordinates took the handkerchief and blocked their mouths. They could only stare fiercely at Hua Yanxi who was in the presence of the old god.
If looks and resentment could kill, the two of them had succeeded at this moment. However, it had no effect other than staring.
The old lady was also driven out. She was old, her bones were bent, and she was not tall. She was being driven with her legs hanging in the air. She was restless, and her legs were in the air.
It was jumping around like a toad being lifted up.
"Let me go, let me go. You are trespassing on people's houses. I will sue you!"
"You bastards, come on, come on."
Hua Yanxi was disturbed by this sound and looked at the old lady unhappily: "Don't make any noise. Didn't you see that your father is thinking about something? It's something you don't have the eyesight to see."
Realizing that Hua Yanxi was talking about her, she kicked her legs and roared: "Nie Zhan, if you dare to do this to me, you will die a good death."
Hua Yanxi was also bored, so she started to talk to the old lady: "Old lady, you don't need to care whether I die or not, but no matter how excited you are, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive even one year, so you should worry about yourself first in the next life after you die.
Just be some kind of beast."
"Bitch, if I had known you were born rebellious, that bitch should have strangled you to death when he gave birth to you!"
"Who are you calling a bitch?" Hua Yanxi's face turned cold. This old guy's mouth was really dirty. He even didn't let go of the original owner's deceased mother. She didn't even think about it. If it weren't for the original owner's mother, they would still return the favor.
I don’t know which pit I’m digging into, you’re an ungrateful thing.
"You and your mother are both bitches. You don't know how to behave when you get married. You and your mother are the same thing. You and your mother are both the same. You will not end well!" The old lady cursed angrily, her legs hanging in the air.
He didn't forget to raise his head and try to kick Hua Yanxi.
Hua Yanxi ordered impatiently: "The old lady is going crazy. Go to the kitchen to find a jar of salt, mix it with water and feed it to her to drink to suppress the madness."
Soon someone came with a wooden bucket, scooped up the salt water and poured it into the old lady's mouth.
Even if the old lady struggled hard, one-third of the ladle of water would still fall into her stomach.
"Hua Yanxi, stop it, she is your grandmother!" Hua Shao immediately scolded her when he saw that she dared to make a move.
Hua Yanxi looked at Hua Shao: "Isn't my father still thinking about things? Then continue thinking. I will take care of the old lady. Don't worry. I will make sure that her madness is suppressed."
Hua Shao wanted to stop him, but he couldn't move now, so he could only be helpless.
Sure enough, after a few scoops, the old lady felt as if she had been soaked in water. Most of her clothes were wet, and her mouth was bleached pale by the salt water, but she did not dare to be unclean anymore.
