Chapter 139: Calm (please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Dao Chi followed Wang Qi's carriage and went home as usual. Before getting off the car, he said: "Brother Qi, help me ask my elder brother if the new carriage has arrived. [氵kun][氵kun][小][说][

When he came back at the end of last month, he asked Wang Zhen to help customize a carriage.
Wang Qi said: "It's not that fast. What you chose are all heavy materials, and they were customized at Wuchangfu Automobile Shop."
The Taoist idiot said: "With the carriage, it will be cheaper for grandma to travel in the future."
Wang Qi smiled and said: "I know you are filial. With the money given by your uncle, you can buy a carriage for your great-aunt and uncle."
While he was talking, he looked at the door of the ninth house outside. It had been painted with fresh paint during the Chinese New Year, and the roof in the courtyard had been replaced with new tiles. It was no longer the old and dilapidated scene of the past.
Wang Qi was curious and winked at Dao Chi: "Erlang, how much money did your two uncles leave you? Did you make a fortune?"
The Taoist idiot said: "Total, it's only a fraction of Brother Seventh."
Hearing this, Wang Qi's mood turned gloomy and said: "Erlang, would you like to follow me to visit the village tomorrow?"
Dao Chi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said sincerely: "Seventh brother should ask my uncle to arrange manpower. If seventh brother is really far away from home like this, my uncle will be sad."
Wang Qi hesitated and said: "Is this good? What if the old man next to my grandfather can't lose his tail in the future?"
Dao Chi smiled and said: "If it is really the old man who lives next to my uncle, Seventh Brother will be happy. Seventh Brother can use it now, and he can justifiably ask for it when the family is separated in the future. There are three gangs for a hero, and three gangs for a fence.
Zhuang. Although I am willing to listen to Brother Qi’s instructions, when it comes to farming and economic matters, both Brother Qi and I are laymen, so it’s better to find someone to keep an eye on it.”
Wang Qi listened and said with joy: "It's exactly what Erlang said. I still begged my grandfather for someone. I only have a few kittens around me. I can't find any that I can use seriously. I just need them when we separate."
My family would often go to the eldest house and the second house. How about now, in the name of managing Zhuangzi's shop, I want people from my grandfather."
Because of the one hundred and twenty hectares of land, Wang Qi not only had a grudge against his uncle and aunt, but also complained about his grandparents. His grandparents did not speak and allowed his uncle and aunt to look at him, but they did not ask him to retreat.
One step at home and everything will be prosperous.
Wang Qi was unwilling to quit, and the relationship with her grandparents became awkward.
He had been raised by his grandparents since he was young, and he had a deep affection for them. These days, he had regretted in his heart whether he had gone too far and hurt his family's feelings because of his greed. However, after thinking about it, he still insisted not to give it.
Although his grandparents loved his grandson, they also loved their other children and grandchildren.
He remembers clearly that when he was a child, he had a fight with Rokuro, and his grandparents scolded him instead of Rokuro. Because he was heartless, even if he cried heartbreakingly, he could break his tears and laugh when he was given some snacks; Rokuro was a bad-tempered person.
, after being taught a lesson by his grandparents, he would rather be whipped than enter his grandparents' yard again.
Rokuro became stubborn and the whole family was uneasy. Because Rokuro was survived by his parents, brother and sister-in-law, the grandparents could not treat their grandson lightly.
He is the grandson who is nominally the most pampered grandson of his grandparents. No matter how much he is wronged, he only gets a few kind words from his grandparents and is served two plates of delicious snacks.
Wang Qi was always angry about this when she was a child, and she couldn't really get close to Liulang, a cousin who was similar to her own age. When she grew up, Wang Qi finally understood.
It's either pampering or valuing. If we really talk about the weight in the hearts of our grandparents, how can I, an orphan, compare to my uncle's family?
However, even though he is a little cold-hearted towards his family, his grandparents are still his closest relatives. The proposal Dao Chi gave him just gave him a step to ease his relationship with the two old people.
After watching Wang Qi leave, Dao Chi turned around and walked in.
The one who opened the door was not Erzhu or Yan Bo, but Zhou Dashun.
At the end of last month, Dao Chi asked servants from the third house to visit Wang Ning's house. Since the house in the ninth house was small, he selected a few servants to come over as servants.
Widow Tian, because Erzhu's uncle has arranged a marriage for Erzhu, mother and son will not go to Beijing with their grandparents. They arranged for several young people to serve Wang Ning now, which will also save Wang Ning from being used to it when he leaves home in the future.
manpower.
The Zhou family consists of Zhou Dashun, the eldest son of Zhou Tai, and his eldest daughter Xiao Xi, the daughter of the Zhang family is Chunlan, the boy of the Zhao family and the boy of the Zhang family, and the two children of the Zhou family are about the same age as the Dao Chi, so they can be their servants. Because of the Dao Chi,
Now when I enter the palace, I can only take one Jingzhe with me, and these few are not on duty.
Zhou Dashun came over to guard the door just in case.
In the past two months, because the neighbors all knew that Dao Chi had acquired two good uncles, many serious people had this idea.
The shabby atmosphere in the outer nine rooms has gone away, and life is getting better.
Zhou Dashun bowed and welcomed Dao Chi in, and reported: "Sir, the little man's father has already chosen two fields and told the old lady. The old lady said she will wait for the master to come back to make up her mind."
The Taoist idiot stopped and asked, "How many acres of land are they?"
Zhou Dashun replied: "One is three hundred acres, and the other is five hundred acres. The three hundred acres are high-quality paddy fields, and the five hundred acres are just middle fields. The front ones cost twelve taels of silver per mu, and the people behind are anxious to take action, and only seven taels of silver per mu.
mu."
Dao Chi calculated in his mind that the former was more expensive per mu, while the latter was less expensive per mu, so the total price was almost the same. However, the price of the former was indeed not low. He had asked about the approximate market price before, and it was basically around ten taels of silver for the fields.
However, it is difficult to cultivate a whole field, so the slightly higher price is justified.
Although I have never seen the middle field at the back, the price of a five-hundred-acre whole field is the same as that of scattered fields. The asking price is really low.
But it's easy to take advantage of the bargain. The price is kept low, and there must be some shortcomings. The landowner wants to sell it and it's not cheap, so he doesn't ask for a high price.
The Taoist idiot said: "Ask your father to come over tomorrow."
Zhou Dashun complied, and Dao Chi strode into the courtyard.
Entering the yard, they saw Mrs. Wang Ning standing outside the chicken coop, holding a large porcelain bowl in her hand, grabbing the grain inside to feed the chickens. Standing next to her were two little maids, Chunlan and Xiaoxi.
Wang Ning was very happy to see her grandson back. She put down the matter of feeding the chickens and went into the house to talk.
Chunlan brought tea. Among the two little maids, Xiaoxi was only twelve years old. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had an innocent temperament. Chunlan was already fourteen, and her features were pretty.
Wang Ning left Chunlan to serve him and asked Xiao Xi to clean up the east chamber. When her grandson came back, Xiao Xi was also there to serve him.
If it were another young man, he might not pay attention to the old man's thoughts, but Dao Chi didn't understand. He was secretly amused, but he also admired the old lady for not changing her temper even though she was getting richer. After all, she really felt sorry for him.
.If it were any other family, how could they attach so much importance to the health of their heirs and grandchildren? For the sake of their children and grandchildren, they would probably arrange for a bunch of wives and concubines to spread out after he reaches adulthood.
In everyone's understanding, it is usually not easy to raise the first-generation children and grandchildren through adoption, especially those like Dao Chi who are already sensible at the time of adoption. However, the children and grandchildren born after adoption are the real flesh and blood if they are born and raised by one's own family.
.
What Wang Ning wanted to tell her grandson was also about buying land: "The five hundred acres at the back sounds nice, but if the land has little yield, it is of no use. It is not as good as the three hundred acres of land, which is high-quality paddy fields.
It’s also cheap to get rid of it when the time comes.”
Dao Chi arranged for people to buy the land, hoping to buy it in the name of Liu Wanshan and Cui Hao's help, so that he could spend money more easily in the future. However, he thought that there were only a few people in his family, so it would not be worth it if he left people to take care of the land after he came to Beijing.
It is better to launder money by buying land. First, use the money donated by your uncle to buy hundreds of acres of land in Anlu, and then sell these lands when you come to Beijing. In this way, the money you will spend after entering Beijing will be
Got the real deal.
Wang Ning didn't expect that the land he bought would be sold so quickly, but he thought that if the Taoist idiot passed the imperial examination, it would be fine before he didn't pass the Jinshi, and it would just be the cost of studying; when he won the Jinshi, he would have to spend money on official selection and the like.
.
Although there is a saying among the people that "the magistrate will be given one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver in three years", but the old man has a good heart and does not want his grandson to violate national laws and do inappropriate things due to lack of money after he becomes an official.
Therefore, when the old man bought the land, he wanted to find a good income. He also thought that when his grandson's officialdom changed in the future, he would be freed from the management of the farm and house, so he thought that the three hundred acres of land would be better.
Dao Chi just listened to Zhou Dashun's words at the door. He thought the three hundred acres of land were good. After hearing Wang Ning's words, he nodded and said, "Grandma is right. My grandson also thinks the paddy fields are good..."
The old house of the clan, Shangfang.
Mr. Wang sat there with his eyelids drooped and said to Wang Fuping: "It's too late to regret it now. Hu Tou has been naturalized and his father-in-law has made up the school captain."
He first asked Wang Qi about the right and wrong. Although he still disagreed with Hu Tou's citizenship, since the crown prince made the decision, it was not his turn to question it. In addition, Wang Qi said that when Hu Tou returned to the palace in the first month of the year
The old man became dissatisfied with Wang Fuping: "You are such an old fool, how can you let your son and daughter-in-law tease your grandson? A good child is hungry and his stomach is broken, and it is a sin to be older than the New Year."
Wang Fuping smiled bitterly and said: "Old man, I really don't know. Who would have known that the pair of evil beasts would act like this? They just thought they were showing off their parents' prestige. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen. That kid with the tiger head is an ignorant person.
How can I be an errand? It would be bad if I offend others."
Old Mrs. Wang snorted and said: "You don't have to worry about whether you can work as an errand. Just save it and stop thinking about getting the child back. You treat the tiger's head as grass, but others treat the tiger's head as treasure. The other party is the palace."
Hundreds of households are all very honorable in front of the prince, and Hutou will not suffer if he follows you. Don't provoke Hutou again, otherwise if we really get into trouble, I won't be able to protect you."
Wang Fuping was crying and had to give up.
Hundreds of households are of the sixth rank, and they have the royal palace as their backer. How can ordinary people like them afford to offend them...
