Chapter 414: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (29)
The old man in the lead immediately knelt down in front of Shuangshuang, and the others also knelt down upon seeing this.
"Don't worry, we are not the kind of people who live in luxury."
Then Shuangshuang told Fang Yapo that she wanted to buy a farm in the suburbs of Beijing.
The matchmaker was a little surprised. She thought he was just from a small remote place and it was a great achievement for him to be able to buy such a house.
I didn't expect that they could even buy a farm near the outskirts of Beijing. This shows how wealthy this family is.
The smile on Fang Yapo's face instantly became more sincere.
The fact that she is well-known in this area is naturally related to the fact that she has her own bottom line in dealing with people and that she knows how to behave.
Often, they get to know each other when the master is in humble circumstances and help the master solve his or her difficulties. Only when the master becomes successful in the future will the master be more convinced of the master.
Fang Yapo thought about the resources in her hands. Nowadays, most of the manors in the suburbs of Beijing are controlled by the powerful.
She did have a farm, but it was a little unsatisfactory.
Therefore, Mrs. Fang made a decision and told the truth.
"My dear lady, I do have a farm in my hands now.
There are about 1000 acres of land, which meets your requirements, and the price is actually quite reasonable.
Even if there is something a little unsatisfactory, I can't hide it from you.
Shuangshuang said nothing and motioned for her to continue.
"Because the owner of this manor was a very particular person, when he built this manor, he deliberately only cultivated more than 500 acres of land, and he cleared the rest of the land and turned it into a forest.
He used it to raise livestock and take his friends hunting.
But later she gave birth to a prodigal son who squandered all the family property.
He had no other choice but to buy the farm and use the money to redeem his son who was held captive in the village.
The price he offered would definitely be worth it if all it contained were farmland.
But if there were forests, other customers would think that they would have to cultivate the thousand acres of mountain land, and the cost would be very high, so they wanted him to lower the price.
But the son of the owner of the manor was being held hostage by a gambling house and would not be released until he got a huge sum of money, so he was stuck there now.
If you want, I can help you to negotiate. What do you think?"
"How much does that farm cost?
"Twelve thousand strings of cash!"
Everyone around took a deep breath!
When the matchmaker heard everyone gasping for breath, she could only try to make up for it awkwardly.
“In fact, considering the area of the village, it is not expensive.
Now the land in Jinjiao is sold at 20 to 30 guan per mu, but there is still no demand.
If the lady really wants it, it would be worthwhile to buy it back and spend some money to level the forest and turn it into fertile farmland."
Shuangshuang didn't say anything, but calculated silently in her mind. Just as the matchmaker said, this price is really not high for the current capital.
Those people thought it was too expensive, mainly because they thought it would be a bit troublesome to overthrow the forest, but this was not a problem at all for Shuangshuang.
She was born into a hunter family and owned thousands of acres of forest. Maybe she could even bring Old Man Qi and the others here.
So I told the matchmaker that I wanted to go and see what Zhuangzi looked like.
The whole family came to the farm in a grand procession and saw hundreds of acres of neatly arranged grain fields planted with various crops. It was not yet time for the autumn harvest.
Everyone felt relaxed and happy, especially Xu Yougen's family.
They all looked at the farmland and mountains with great surprise. As farmers since childhood, they just felt how familiar this place was.
He also looked at Shuangshuang with joy. If they really bought this farm, they would be able to live on the farm and do their own business.
Shuangshuang looked at the forest in the distance with satisfaction, and asked the matchmaker to invite someone over to sign the contract and transfer the ownership.
After buying the manor, Xu Yougen immediately proposed that he wanted to live there.
This time he came here with all his precious belongings.
Shuangshuang was helpless with them, but she thought that there were not so many rules at the farm.
Moreover, they are going to smoke and braise meat here, which is indeed a nuisance to people in the busy city.
So they decided to choose this place to bring wealth and fortune to Dunzi, so that he could study here, and the whole family would live in the farm.
Among the 12 people bought at that time, there was a middle-aged couple named Fugui. His wife’s surname was Li and her name was Li Mama.
With three sons, three daughters-in-law and two little grandsons.
The five children were called out, Da Xi, Er Xi, San Xi, Si Xi, and Wu Xi.
This name has the same meaning as the words "Fu" and "Cai".
Shuangshuang had no plans to change their names. It was such a joyous occasion for this family!
Si Xi and Wu Xi were girls, one was fourteen years old and the other was eleven years old. Seeing that they acted in an orderly manner, Shuangshuang placed them both with Bonnie.
As for Fugui, Shuangshuang let him temporarily serve as the housekeeper and doorman of the mansion.
The wealthy family and their three daughters-in-law were arranged to work in the kitchen, and they also cleaned the courtyard.
The first, second and third joys were all placed directly in front of the pillar.
Originally, I wanted to give one to the second room, but Xu Yougen didn't want it.
They say they are still dirt-legged and haven't been cleaned yet, so why do they need anyone to serve them?
It’s better to put it on the pier and make the best use of it.
As for the two grandsons, they are less than three years old. Otherwise, the matchmaker would not have been so generous as to say that they would be given as a gift.
Shuangshuang didn't know much about the capital, so she asked the housekeeper Fugui directly.
During this period, Dunzi passed the exam and officially obtained a place to study at the Imperial College.
Shuangshuang felt that it was time for her to go to the farm and pick up the family business.
On this day, taking advantage of Dunzi's day off and the good weather, we decided to mobilize the whole family and move to Zhuangzi.
However, he did not expect that at the moment of leaving the city, he would meet several tall horses and a canopy-draped carriage slowly approaching from afar.
Because horses were not allowed to run in the city without reason, everyone in the group got off the carriage and walked, leading the horses.
Even the coachman got off the carriage and led the horse.
Shuangshuang couldn't help but sigh that Emperor Jinghao was indeed a wise ruler.
.
Then she didn't notice it while sitting in the mule cart, but the people who were lifting the curtain to watch the excitement all stared at one of the men opposite them with wide eyes.
Especially Xu Yougen, who was already in tears at this time, and didn't care about his old arms and legs, and jumped off the mule cart in a hurry.
If Xu Dahe had not been quick enough to hold him up, he might have fallen to the ground.
The passers-by on the road watched helplessly as an old man, dressed fairly decently, staggered towards the group of dignitaries.
Seeing this, the group of dignitaries stopped and looked at Xu Yougen suspiciously.
