Chapter 104 Buying a Field

Mrs. Wang embarrassedly scolded Chen Afu, "Silly boy, how can you pick up food for your mother like this? You should be picking up food for your third uncle and third aunt."

After hearing this, Chen Afu smiled again and put vegetables into Chen Shi and Zhang's bowls. He smiled and said, "A few of us have been troublesome to our uncle and aunt these days."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Third uncle hopes that you will trouble us at home every day. Hey, I just don't worry about my second brother being alone in the countryside, otherwise I will keep you here for a while longer."

After the meal, Manager Luo came unexpectedly. He said that he had been busy these days and sent away most of the guests at noon yesterday. He had some free time today and wanted to accompany Chen Afu to visit the dental shop.

Dabao still wanted to find a way out, but Chen Afu didn't take him with him, saying that they were going to the dental shop, where there were many people with teeth. Chen Dabao's biggest fear since he was a child is that he will be betrayed by others, so he doesn't dare to leave.

He also said, "Mom is so handsome, so be careful and don't get trafficked by others." He also told Mrs. Wang, "Grandma must hold my mother's hand all the time."

Mrs. Wang pinched his little face and smiled, "Yes, grandma knows." After going out, she said to Chen Afu, "Dabao is a good boy, and your love for him was not in vain."

Chen Afu smiled and nodded.

Several people left Chen Sangan's grocery store. Chen Afu and his daughter got into the carriage, and Manager Luo sat next to Qing Bo.

Chen Shi and Chen Ayu who sent them out were still telling Manager Luo and Qing Bo that they must come to his house for a drink in the evening. Chen Afu also invited in the car, and Manager Luo and Qing Bo smiled and agreed.

On the way, Manager Luo said that five days later, that is, September 25th, he would take Chu Hanyan back to Tangyuan and asked Chen Afu if he would go back with them. He also said that it would only take two hours by carriage. .

After hearing this, Chen Afu was willing to go back with them. Not to mention the horse-drawn carriage ride, the road was safe, but I had to go back four days later than the agreed time for fear that Chen Ming would be worried.

Manager Luo said that his eldest son Luo Yuan happened to be in the house today to do business and would not go back until tomorrow. If Chen Afu and the others decide to go back on the 25th, let his son go back and tell Chen Ming.

Chen Afu and Wang agreed.

The carriage ran for three quarters of an hour and arrived at a tooth shop. As expected, Li Yaren was very familiar with Manager Luo. When he saw Manager Luo coming, he invited him to sit down and served tea.

He heard Chen Afu's conditions for buying land. In Zhongning County and Sanqing County, if he wanted high-quality farmland, it would be best to connect it to a piece of land, which could be more than 100 acres.

Li Yaren said with a smile, there is indeed a suitable piece of land in Guanghe Town, Zhongning County. It is a paddy field, and the price is also right, six taels of silver per acre. It's just that there are a lot of fields, 200 acres. However, if you buy it all at once, you don’t need to pay for the rapeseed seeds that have been sown in the field.

Chen Afu calculated in his mind that two hundred acres would cost one thousand two hundred and sixty taels of silver.

There are 600 taels of brocade birds, 400 taels of gemstones, 100 taels of red envelopes, 140 taels of plate buckle designs, and 10 taels of dolls. The total is 1,250 taels of silver. If I add another ten taels, I can buy it.

Moreover, Guanghe Town is adjacent to Sanqing County and only a dozen miles away from Xiangluo Village.

If these lands are indeed good fields, Chen Afu is really willing.

When Mrs. Wang heard that there was so much money, she pulled Chen Afuf aside and said, "Afu, it's too much, we can't afford it."

Chen Afu quietly calculated the account with her and said, "The money is enough."

Then he came over and said to the Li Ya people, "If those fields are good, we will buy them.

Li Yaren said with a smile, "Brother Luo and I have known each other for more than ten years. I won't lie to you. The paddy fields are really good. However, such a big deal needs to be seen through. It's already late today. Let's go It takes more than an hour to get to Guanghe Town by carriage, and it takes a long time to go there. We also have to go to Zhongning County to get the contract, which takes another half a day. "

Chen Afu also thought so and nodded in agreement.

Manager Luo thought about it and said, "That's all. However, I have something to do tomorrow and can't accompany you, so let my second son and Uncle Qing accompany you."

He was worried about the two women, Chen Afu and his daughter, going there, so he had to let his second son Luo Fang and Qing Bo, who were in charge of the Chu Mansion, go there.

Now, Manager Luo is very grateful to Chen Afu, he sincerely wants to help her.

After hearing what Manager Luo said, Chen Afu hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

My appearance is too outstanding, and the Wang family is not very polite and sophisticated. After all, Li Yaren is not familiar with him. It would be much better if Guanshi Luo's son and Uncle Qing were with him.

After talking, several people took their leave.

This time we were walking through the backyard of the Chen family. There was a door next to the main house, and the carriage was driven into the yard through the door. The Chen family had already put food and drinks on the table. In addition to their own braised meat, they also went to the restaurant to buy roast goose and Huazhi beef soup, and also bought a few kilograms of Xiaoyuanchun wine.

Manager Luo and Qing Bo were invited to the living room to sit down, accompanied by Chen Shi and Chen Ayu, and drank and ate.

Wang and Chen Afu went to the kitchen to help.

After seeing off the guests, Chen Shi was worried when he heard that the mother and daughter were going to such a far place, so he decided to follow them. He also said that if he bought land, he would accompany Yaren to Zhongning County to get the deed done on the same day, so that everything could be done in one day.

This way, it's even better. Chen Afu and Wang quickly expressed their thanks again.

Chen Shi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for nothing. Third uncle asked for Ah Fu's prescription and made money, but he hasn't thanked him yet. When Ah Fu gets married in the future, third uncle will definitely give him a big gift."

Chen Afu was not as shy as the little girl Aman. He smiled and said, "Okay, my niece will be waiting."

He said making everyone laugh.

Wang pretended to be angry and hit Chen Afu twice and said angrily, "How can this girl be so shameless?"

The next morning, Wang and Chen Afu dressed up early. They both wore half-old cloth clothes and wooden hairpins, and sat in the shop with Chen Shi waiting. At about the beginning of the Chen hour, Qing Bo drove a carriage.

A young man in his early twenties got off the carriage. He was Luo Fang, the second son of Luo Guanshi.

He smiled and said that now except for the old marquis, all other guests had left. The master said that today he would ask Dabao to bring Qiqi and Huihui to the mansion to play, because Sister Yan missed him.

There was another reason that Luo Fang didn't say. The old marquis Chu liked birds very much. He heard that Sister Yan's good friend had two very smart parrots, so he wanted to see them. It was just that there were many people and things in the mansion, so the old man waited patiently until today, and couldn't wait to see them early in the morning.

He also said that after the Si hour, the mansion would come to pick up Dabao in a carriage.

Dabao hadn't gotten up yet. Zhang quickly agreed and said that she would tell him when Dabao woke up.

After a few pleasantries, the few people got on the carriage. Chen Shi and Wang's mother and daughter sat in the carriage, while Luo Fang and Qing Bo sat outside the carriage.

The carriage went straight to the west gate, where Li Yaren was waiting for them. After the reunion, they continued to travel west. This section of the road was also the road that Chen Afu and his friends took when they came.

Thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards, thank you! There are only two chapters today. In addition, some readers said that officials in ancient times could not serve in their hometowns. This will be explained later in the text.
