Chapter 224

Zhou Shuren opened the box, and there were neatly stacked silver ingots in the box. He pointed to the box and said, "There are a total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver in the box. The bracelets kept at home are of poor quality, and the price has been lowered a lot."

Zhulan covered the box and calculated the accounts, "Changlian's betrothed family gave three hundred taels of betrothal gift, and there are more than four hundred and sixty taels of silver left. The male lead gave it twice later, and Wang Ru and Shi Qing gave it once more. Not counting the silver money for selling gold, I calculated the family property just now, and there is a total of four hundred and ninety taels left, now including the one hundred and twenty taels for selling gold, the family has a total of six hundred and ten taels of silver."

With more than six hundred taels of silver, Zhulan was confident this time. At least she won’t run out of money to buy the Zheng family’s house. Monthly paper is a lot of money!

Zhou Shuren felt that the money in the family was really low. Now it was just buying land, not even Zhuangzi, and the money in the family had bottomed out. He was counting all his wealth in his heart. It was not enough to buy a house in the capital, and he was still poor!

Zhou Shuren heard Li's call for dinner, and pushed the lid of the box to the corner, "Don't worry about the money, let's go out to eat too!"

"it is good."

On the second day to see the land, Boss Zhou drove the car. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went together. There will be no shortage of fabrics at home in the future, it is better to bring some snacks to look good.

Zheng's natal family, the Zheng family is prosperous. Zheng is the youngest in the family. The older brothers are all old, and they all have grandchildren. After more than 40 years of development, they have become a big family. The house was built, but surrounded by a high wall on the outside, and divided into several yards inside, which are not interfering with each other and are connected.

If no one brought the bamboo orchid into the door, it would be easy to get dizzy. It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into the construction at that time. When we arrived at the main courtyard, Zheng's parents were still alive, probably because of the generals, and his bones were still very strong.

Mr. Zheng laughed loudly, "I reckoned that the person should be here, and he arrived as soon as the words were heard."

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan greeted each other. They were juniors. Zhou Shuren said, "I didn't have any good things when I came to the house for the first time, so I brought some pastries for the children."

Mr. Zheng is not a simple military general. Back then, his father admitted his death and insisted on leaving to prove his innocence. He stretched out his hand and knocked him unconscious. Later, God helped the Zheng family, and the heavy snowstorm helped cover up his identity. I'm not angry with him anymore, after all, it's all his credit that the whole family escaped.

Mr. Zheng smiled kindly, "Nephew, please be polite, don't stand and sit down."

Zhulan looked at Mr. Zheng, she thought that Zheng's appearance followed her mother,

It is only now that I have followed my father, Mr. Zheng is very thin, he doesn't look like a general at all, but more like a literati.

The Zheng family was not in a hurry to talk about the land and the house, and Zhulan realized why Zheng’s sister-in-law approached Zheng to sell the land, and why the Zheng family only told Zheng to sell the land, but she didn’t promote the land sale herself. The buyer the family is looking for is their family.

I just don't know if they knew from the patriarch's family that their family was going to buy land, or if they had planned it long ago, and whether Mrs. Zheng knew about her mother's plan.

Zhou Shuren was not in a hurry to ask about the ground anymore, he drank his tea slowly, hehe in his heart, who told him that military generals are only straight-minded, who is he in a hurry with, and then thought, the Zheng family is really straight-hearted, early If he died, how could he settle down in Lijia Village.

Zhulan was dragged by Mrs. Zheng to talk. The old lady has lived in the countryside for more than 40 years, and she can still see a good upbringing. Every gesture is full of charm. Zheng's calligraphy and painting must be taught by the old lady.

Mrs. Zheng smiled, "Try the dim sum brought over from Northwest. It's another flavor, but I don't know if you're used to it."

Zhulan is a foodie. Northwest dim sum and pasta are the main dishes. In modern times, she likes Northwest dim sum. She picked up a piece, took a bite, and said, "It's delicious."

Mrs. Zheng saw that the bamboo orchids were not fake, and she smiled a little more genuinely, "It's delicious and I'll take some back later. It's hard to see dim sum in the Northwest."

Bamboo orchid really likes to eat, pollution-free is much more delicious than modern ones, "Then I won't be polite."

Mrs. Zheng asked casually, "I heard you are learning to draw?"

Zhulan thought to herself, not only did they notice the Zheng family, the Zheng family also paid attention to them, and even asked about her painting, "Isn't this married to the county magistrate's family, and the county magistrate's wife has invited her several times, and the discussions are either tea art or When it comes to painting, I thought about not embarrassing the head of the family and my son, so I learned it bravely, and I have been groping for it myself, and my sister-in-law pointed out my recent progress."

Mrs. Zheng heard her daughter say that Yang's painting is very talented, "I've heard what Xinyi said. After all, I taught your sister-in-law's painting. I thought I would teach you when I had the time. , the plan can’t keep up with the changes, we’re going to the northwest, and I don’t think we’ll have a chance to see you again in the future.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng was very sad. Her daughter's health is not good, so she may not be allowed to walk ahead of her, and she will not even have the chance to meet her in the future.

Zhulan noticed that the old lady was in a low mood, and hurriedly said, "The fate is uncertain, maybe we will meet again in the future."

The old lady loves to hear these words, "My aunt is very close to you when she sees you. There is indeed a fate, and my aunt does not adulterate with you. We are not at ease selling the house we live in now. We can only sell it to you. The favorite is Zhou family, you are relatives, and we are relatives too."

If it weren't for the fact that the ideal body is not good enough, the son-in-law is also getting old, and the grandson's reading talent is mediocre, and the exam is useless, they gave up the idea of ​​​​leaving the house to the son-in-law's family to take care of them. They are afraid that they will be too far away. The ability is strong, and if you can't keep it, you will be prone to disaster. You are thinking about how to deal with the house. This is the hidden back road of the Zheng family. Only then did you get to know Zhou Shuren's family through your daughter, and after understanding, you found a more suitable person to take over.

Zhulan thought to herself, look, the design of this house is well-understood, why does she think that the Zheng family came to their house just to look at the house through their hands?

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked at each other. They were still inquiring about others, but they ended up falling into their trap, and they took the initiative to sneak in. This kind of feeling is not very good.

Zhulan could only keep smiling, "Yes, they are also relatives."

Mrs. Zheng was even more satisfied. It is true that as the girl said, they are all shrewd people. Some words don’t need to be read through, and people can guess them. However, they are indeed a bit dishonest. She planned to not even tell her daughter, and her daughter was planning together, the old lady felt calm again, and rolled up the bracelet on her hand, "I have carried this bracelet for some years, it is a high-quality jade bracelet, I heard that you are also born I have been seriously ill and have been taking care of my body, and it is said that the jade that has been taken for a long time has a spirituality, and the aunt of the jade caretaker gave it to you."

Zhulan wanted to withdraw her hand, but she was silent, the old lady's hands were not so strong, and the bracelet was already on her hand, the old lady said with satisfaction, "Look how good you are."

The old lady didn't feel sorry for them. When they ran away, the head of the family and the elder brother took their sons to raid the guard's house in the middle of the night, trying to kill the family. They took a lot of gold, silver and jewels without killing anyone, so the Zheng family was not short of money.

The jade bracelets I gave away now are just my favorites. I still have quite a few at home, but I never wear them for the sake of keeping a low profile.

Zhulan looked down at the jade bracelet, speechless, this bracelet was worth a lot of money, and her instinct was right, their family was looking for someone to look at the house!
