Because of the news that Yuan Shao was going south to crusade against Cao Cao, a large number of wealthy businessmen abandoned their fields and looked for successors.
And He Yan was very happy to be the wronged one.
In the past, Xuchang was almost surrounded by fertile farmland, and since it was under the emperor's feet, land prices naturally skyrocketed.
Elsewhere, even an acre of fertile land in Guanzhong, where land is at a premium, costs about 10,000 yuan, but here in Xuchang it costs almost 12,000 yuan per acre!
Even an ordinary medium-sized field costs seven to eight thousand yuan.
But now that news of Yuan Shao's southern expedition has come, the land prices near Xuchang have almost been cut in half!
Normally, 20,000 acres of fertile land might not be available for purchase, but now it only costs 9,000 acres!
As for the remaining Nakata, he took it home for 4,000 yuan!
How could He Yan, who heard the news from his daughter-in-law, miss such a good opportunity? Naturally, he bought the bargains hard and wanted to realize his dream of becoming a landlord as soon as possible.
But Yin almost fainted!
Who doesn’t know that the land in Xuchang is a low-quality asset now?
Even if He Yan sells these lands again now, he probably won’t be able to get back the original money!
"How do you want me to explain this to your Aunt Bian? What if, what if..."
After all, Mrs. Yin is a wife who lives under someone else's roof. Unlike Cao Cao's original wives and concubines, she has a kind of insecurity in her bones.
She was afraid that He Yan would offend Mrs. Bian and fall out of favor with Cao Cao. How would she, a woman, survive in such troubled times?
"Don't worry, mother, I'll explain it to Mrs. Bian."
But Ms. Yin shook her head: "You are a child and don't understand the value of money and property."
"This matter can no longer be settled by just apologizing."
After saying this, Mrs. Yin got up and walked towards her inner room: "I still have some spare money here. If it is not enough, I will give you my mother's dowry... Hey? Yan'er? He Yan! Come back to me!"
I saw that He Yan, who was kneeling on the ground just now, had disappeared and seemed to have fled the house.
"Dong dong dong!"
He Yan did not run far, but came to the courtyard of Mrs. Bian's family and knocked hard on the door.
"Squeak~"
The door slowly opened, and a pair of tired eyes slowly met He Yan's gaze.
"..."
The fatigue in his eyes turned into surprise, then into grievance, and finally into full of anger:
"He Yan!!!"
Cao Pi pointed at He Yan and yelled: "You are not a human being!"
"Ah, yes, yes, where is your mother?"
"He Yan!!!"
Cao Pi rushed towards He Yan with unstoppable power: "I'm going to kill you!"
Ten breaths later…
"It hurts! It hurts! He Yan! Let go! Let go! Ouch!"
Cao Pi, who was chained to the ground by He Yan, screamed repeatedly, begging He Yan to let go.
"cut."
He Yan got up from Cao Pi: "Isn't it just a few dollars? As for that?"
Cao Pi struggled to sit up, his eyes full of grievance: "Do I care about the money? Ah?"
"You and Guo Jijiu went to Nulu's house. Not only did you not take me with you, but you also asked me to pay for it?"
He Yan originally wanted to interrupt Cao Pi and tell him that Guo Jia paid for it this time.
But when he saw a figure coming from behind, He Yan changed his mind again: "Could it be that if I take you to Nulu this time, you won't be angry?"
Cao Pi's thinking was a little stuck.
But he quickly nodded heavily: "If you take me there, then I won't be angry."
When Cao Pi finished speaking, he realized that He Yan actually lowered his head.
At the same time, Cao Pi felt a slight chill on his back.
Turning around with a stiff neck, Cao Pi realized that Madam Bian was already standing behind him.
"Mom, please listen to my explanation..."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bian ignored him at all, and directly passed him around as a transparent person.
"It turns out that Yulang is here. Come, come to my aunt. My aunt happens to have the apricot blossom cake that has just been made."
When Cao Pi saw Mrs. Bian's appearance, his forehead went cold.
It would be okay if Mrs. Bian reprimanded him, after all, it would mean that the matter was over.
But the way she doesn't ask questions at all now only means that Mrs. Bian's anger has reached the extreme, and she plans to wait for the guest He Yan to leave before settling the score with Cao Pi!
Cao Pi was frightened and hid behind He Yan, and whispered to He Yan: "Don't leave tonight, stay here with me."
"baffling."
After He Yan said these four words, he followed Mrs. Bian, intending to go into the house to have some snacks.
Cao Pi had no choice but to stamp his feet and secretly ran toward Cao Jie's room alone: "Sister, whether brother can survive this time depends entirely on you!"
After He Yan followed Mrs. Bian into the house, he discovered that the decoration of the entire house was very simple, yet elegant, simple, bright and bright.
Seeing things is like seeing people. It is not unreasonable for Mrs. Bian to sit firmly in Cao Cao's royal family for decades.
Mrs. Bian eagerly pulled He Yan to greet him and put the snacks she had just made in He Yan's hands, telling him to eat without worry.
"Yu Lang, my aunt knows that you are smarter than ordinary people, but there are some things that you should not rush into."
He Yan was also rolling along the slope, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "The main reason is that Guo Jijiu insisted on dragging me there, otherwise I wouldn't have gone."
Mrs. Bian immediately smiled when she heard this: "I knew Yulang was a good boy who could distinguish right from wrong."
"As for those belongings, since Pi'er gave them to you, just accept them. Brothers, there is no need to care about them so much."
Mrs. Bian's words made He Yan couldn't help but sigh, it was really a good idea.
Let me ask, which child doesn’t like a gentle elder?
What if this gentle elder still likes you very much, often praises you, doesn't care about your mistakes, and is even willing to give you a lot of pocket money?
He Yan is no exception.
At this moment, under Mrs. Bian's few words, he had a good impression of Mrs. Bian.
"Thank you, Aunt Bian."
"But no need."
He Yan didn't dare accept the money.
If the person who gave the money was Cao Pi, that fool, He Yan could accept it with peace of mind, but if it was Mrs. Bian, the meaning behind this would be questionable.
Regardless of whether Mrs. Bian did it intentionally or not, this was a way to show her kindness to He Yan.
It is also a way to bind He Yan to Cao Pi.
As for Cao Cao's successor, He Yan doesn't want to get involved yet.
So he politely bowed his hand to Mrs. Bian and said, "He Yan is not here to discuss family issues with Aunt Bian, but to do a business deal with Aunt Bian."
"oh?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, Mrs. Bian returned to her usual demeanor: "What kind of business does Yulang want to discuss?"
"Bian's wealthy business!"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Bian lowered her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid Yulang is still drunk and talking nonsense."
"Aunt Bian, why don't you listen to what I have to say?"
He Yan confidently took out a handful of land deeds: "If the Bian family can become rich, it will definitely be very beneficial to Mr. Hei... ahem, and also to Cao Pi's future position!"
When Mrs. Bian heard this, she looked squarely at the adopted son in front of her for the first time, who she had always regarded as a child.
