Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 53 053. Land gift

  County town · a private house.

  Nie Huiyang opened the door and walked into the courtyard, with a serious expression on his face, "Boss, if you don't get any more jobs, our "Chaoyang Jianfang" will be disbanded."

  An Shanwu looked sad, ""Rising Sun Construction" is pressing every step of the way. Every time we receive a job, they take it away at a lower price. I have nothing to do now."

  Nie Huiyang patted the back of his hand, "Boss, you can't sit still."

  An Shanwu looked at Nie Huiyang, "Then what can you do?"

  Nie Huiyang avoided his eyes and said without confidence, "I wish I knew."

   Both of them sighed in unison, falling into sorrow together.

  Suddenly, a beautiful female voice came from outside the door, "Brother Shanwu, Brother Huiyang, are you there?"

  The two looked up at the door together, then An Shanwu got up, and happily walked towards the door.

  When he saw someone coming, he couldn't help shouting in surprise, "Sister Ruyue?"

  Shen Ruyue smiled and said, "Brother Shanwu, I was afraid that you were not at home."

  An Shanwu glanced at the three siblings Chu Qingzhi behind Shen Ruyue, and said enthusiastically, "Come in, come in."

  The four of them walked into the yard.

  After seeing Shen Ruyue, Nie Huiyang hurried to the house to get some tea.

  In the yard, there is a set of tables and chairs made of wood with carvings on them. The overall brown color is very chic. An Shanwu greets the four of them to sit down.

  Chu Qingzhi and Shen Ruyue sat down, and the two younger ones stood behind Chu Qingzhi.

  Nie Huiyang brought the tea to the table and said enthusiastically, "Sister Ruyue, girl, please drink tea."

  An Shanwu asked with concern, "Sister Ruyue, you..."

  Shen Ruyue knew what An Shanwu was going to ask, and said with a smile, "The girl next to me is called Chu Qingzhi, she rescued me from the prison, and the two younger ones are Qingzhi's younger brother."

  When Nie Huiyang heard this, he quickly went to the house and brought two apples to Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao, "Eat, brother."

  With Chu Qingzhi's consent, the two young boys took the apple into their hands, "Thank you uncle."

  Nie Huiyang grinned with big white teeth, "What a polite boy."

  Shen Ruyue secretly thought, just now Chu Qingzhi had been educating the two young children on the road, and the change was too fast, from a mountain child to a well-mannered child.

  …

  An Shanwu, Nie Huiyang, and Shen Ruyue are orphans who grew up together.

  An Shanwu learned how to build a house when he was twelve years old. He was more flexible. At the age of twenty, he went out on his own and formed a construction team called Chaoyang Jianfang.

  Nie Huiyang went to work as a servant for others, and when he learned that An Shanwu needed manpower, he came to help him.

  Shen Ruyue has a sweet appearance. She went to a wealthy family to work as a maid. With her clever mind, she secretly learned to read and write.

  The three of them talked about the past, and then started to talk about business.

  Shen Ruyue unfolded the blueprint of the small bungalow and handed it to An Shanwu, "Brother Shanwu, Qing Zhi wants to build such a house, take a look."

  An Shanwu took over the drawings and looked at them carefully.

   A few minutes later, he said, "No problem, but it will take longer, and it will take at least two hundred taels to build this house."

  Chu Qingzhi secretly observed An Shanwu. This person's eyes are straight, which means that he is not a treacherous person, and his temperament is calm, which means that he is not someone who likes to boast, "My budget is one thousand taels of silver."

  An Shanwu couldn't help but look sideways. The girl in front of her was dressed as a peasant girl, and she said that she spent 1,000 taels to build a house. Was she joking with him?

  An Shanwu said kindly, "Girl, I might as well say one more thing, what you just said was one thousand taels, not one hundred taels."

   That's one hundred taels, and ordinary farmers can't afford it for a lifetime.

  Shen Ruyue laughed, and reminded from the side, "Brother Shanwu, don't judge people by their appearance."

  An Shanwu quickly explained, "I didn't mean to underestimate the girl, I just said that one thousand taels is too much..."

  Shen Ruyue secretly thought, Qingzhi's family now makes a net profit of more than one hundred taels a day, and one thousand taels only takes a few days, and Qingzhi is about to start another business, which will definitely make a lot of money.

  Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, I can get it out, it's just the materials for your house..."

  An Shanwu understood what Chu Qingzhi meant, "Some of the materials for building the house were purchased with our help, and some were obtained locally. With such a big budget, we will definitely use the best materials."

  Chu Qingzhi nodded, "If that's the case, then you all come to see the site tomorrow and prepare for construction."

  An Shanwu was overjoyed, "Okay."

   After discussing some details and finalizing some matters, Chu Qingzhi took a few people to leave.

  …

   County government.

  The county seat has been very quiet recently, and there are only some minor disturbances, so the county magistrate is very leisurely.

  The master is also very free, he walked into the inner hall, "My lord, Chu Qingzhi is here to buy land."

  The county magistrate paused while serving the tea, "Is that the smart girl who has the ability to catch the gods?"

  Master nodded, "Yes."

  The magistrate raised his face and thought for a while, "Where does she want to buy?"

  Master said, "As far as the wasteland in their village is concerned, Chujia Village is a big village, but many people have developed and came to the county, and some went to the capital, so they became vacant."

  The magistrate of the county pondered for a moment, "How big is the whole wasteland?"

  Master replied, "It's two acres in size, and behind that piece of wasteland is a hill." (One mu of land is roughly equivalent to 1.5 basketball courts)

  The magistrate of the county waved his hand, "Give it to her, make a deal, if we need to use this girl one day, let's go hire someone, she won't refuse."

  The county magistrate is a muddled official, but he has always had a good eye for seeing people.

  Master responded, "The villain will do it right away."

  Chu Qingzhi came out of the county government office, holding two land deeds in her hand, one was for the wasteland, and the other was for the hill behind the wasteland.

  Shen Ruyue asked puzzledly, "Qing Zhi, if you buy wasteland now, will you also get the barren hill next to it?"

  Chu Qingzhi doesn't know much about the ancient land system, so she can't answer this question, "Don't worry about it, it's all given away anyway, don't want it for nothing."

  Shen Ruyue nodded in agreement, "That's the truth."

   "Let's go, let's go to the market."

   Today Chu Qingzhi is going to invite Tang Jinghong to dinner, and she plans to handle it herself, thanks to Tang Jinghong for his help.

  The general is very busy, so he deliberately took the time to support her, and she accepted it.

  …

   Beijing Suburb Camp.

  In the tent, Tang Jinghong was at his desk handling official business, which had been done all morning.

  Xiao Bing said at the door, "General, it's noon."

  Tang Jinghong was so busy these two days that he asked Xiaobing to remind him to go to Chu Qingzhi's house for dinner at noon.

  He was particularly curious about what Chu Qingzhi would cook for him.

  After hearing Xiaobing's voice, he put down his pen, moved his body, got up and walked outside the tent.

  After holding it with one hand, he walked lightly and looked happy.

   Passing soldiers couldn’t help but look at their generals. What’s so good about this? The general, who had been expressionless all this time, looked very happy.

   One by one is very curious.
