Chapter 11 Each has its own calculations
It was basically bright outside, and the flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the porridge was boiling. The thick woman broke the dead wood and threw it into the stove. She lifted the wooden cover, stirred the porridge water, turned her head and looked at the young man talking over there, and her husband.
While shouting "It's time to eat!", the other side just finished saying: "As a guarantee? I won't do it!"
On this side, when Geng Qing saw him refuse, he waved his hand in a hurry.
"Don't worry, can you let the young man finish?"
"Okay...you say it."
"I'm not saying that my father was injured, but the young man didn't sleep all night last night. After thinking about it, there were a bunch of dilapidated houses in the village. How could he fight against Mr. Liu, who is rich and powerful when guarding Botian? Do you think?"
Geng Qing organized the language and tried his best to connect the ideas he thought last night little by little. His current situation was similar to what he thought. If he agreed just now, it would be a ghost.
Seeing that Li was nodding in agreement, he hurriedly answered and continued:
"The young man thought that since he couldn't fight, he would be bleeding and lose his life. Wouldn't he be stupid? I went to the city a few days ago, and the tea shop said that good birds chose trees to live in. Although the young man didn't understand the meaning very well, he thought it made sense. The young man took the lead in selling the fields first and had a good impression when he arrived at Mr. Liu. At that time, he might even be able to have a leisurely meal to guard the house."
After hearing what the young man said, seeing his flattering smile on his face, he knew what was going on in his heart. He smiled and pointed at Geng Qing's head with his fingers.
"Xiao Congming, it turns out that he was making this idea. Why didn't I explain it clearly just now?"
"The young man has never met Li Zheng before. I can't guess your thoughts. How dare I be so direct as soon as I meet? What if I get angry and tie the young man to the official?"
Geng Qing took the pastry and handed it over again.
"Haha..." Li was amused by what he said, and he took the pastry with his beard tip. "I have been making Li for many years and have experienced more storms than you have ever eaten. How can you, a junior, see through it? Hahaha!"
Seeing that he tasted it for granted, Geng Qing's smile became stronger.
"Yes, the young cannot see through the inside, and have never seen much of the world. Most of the people in Gengjia Village suffer. They have never seen the world before. They will always hold hoes to dig food in the soil unless they are in front of them with real money and silver.
Today, the young man stood up first, just to protect the young man. When he came to Mr. Liu, he would first ask for a deposit for the land and put the real money in front of the villagers in the village. They would not believe it."
Taking advantage of the joy of Li Zheng's joy, he told the matter up. Of course, this was not the point Geng Qing wanted to say. He gestured to Li Zheng, who was gradually frowning, but his voice amplified a little.
"This deposit is the most important thing for the rest of the house, so naturally I have to take some and add some furniture. My sister is so young and beautiful..." Geng Qing looked slightly and blinked at the stout woman looking over there. "If I dress up with the exquisite rouge and powder in the city, it would make her look more elegant."
Lin was frowning, and then he looked at the stove. Seeing his short, thick and round wife smiling, shyly touching the red flower on her hair bun, he couldn't help but shivering.
‘Young and beautiful? This young man is afraid he has eye disease.’
He turned his gaze and pondered for a moment, "I need to think about this matter, and I'll be here today..."
"Damn, you are so happy to say anything." The woman brought a cup of hot tea, put it on the table, gave her a wink at her man, and lowered her words: "Come with me!"
As he said that, he smiled and signaled Geng Qing, dragged her husband to the second floor, and vaguely heard the woman's thick voice talking on it.
"How good is my brother saying, will you collect this money?!"
"Women's opinion is not so easy to take!"
"...Okay, you don't want to dress me up with this money. You must have raised a young man outside. Do you dislike me for not having a baby for you in the past few years? My father was so blind at the beginning. He called you in and made you look like a pride."
"Oh... stop talking."
"Why don't you say that if you want me to believe that you don't raise a young man, then just pay for it..."
Listening to the noise above, Geng Qing didn't have the flattering smile he had just now. Yun Danfeng gently picked up the cup and blew the floating tea stems. After entering the door, he actually deliberately signaled the gift to determine whether the woman who opened the door was greedy for money. With the money he had taken out to sell the valley fan before, seeing the couple's performance, Geng Qing changed his previous plan a little, and used the woman to pry Wang Lizheng's wall.
It seems that it has been mostly successful.
Sure enough, soon, the inner body was tidying up his hair and coming down the stairs. He was about to take care of it, but there was a condition that Geng Qing had to sign and write to ensure that the medium-sized fertile land deeds of Gengjiamura were delivered to Mr. Liu Liu.
"Even the Lizheng can do this, how can the young man have no conscience? Besides, I can't read a few words and can't do farm work. I want to find a backer to have a meal, so why did I lose my job, right?"
Afterwards, the woman invited Geng Qing to have breakfast together, and the two men discussed some details at the dinner table, and said a few compliments and flatteries from time to time, which made the couple happier.
After breakfast and resting for a while, Wang Lizheng took Geng Qing out of Niujiaji and walked through the fertile fields outside the town where the seeds had just been planted. The men from the farmer family stepped on the mud barefoot, and the back was bent and the weeds were raising.
"Did you see them? Mr. Liu is still kind-hearted. After receiving the fields in Gengjia Village, the villagers also have work to do. They can get a lot of food every year. With the money to sell the fields, they can still live a comfortable life."
Geng Qing, who was following behind, nodded repeatedly and said yes, but did not take the other person's words to heart. He looked over the leading road in front and stared straight at the big mansion at the end of the road.
The white-painted courtyard walls, black tiled eaves, and painted red copper buckles the courtyard door. Two mighty stone lions crouched and showed their temperament. They went up the stone steps. The servants guarding on both sides saw the leader's figure and called politely: "I've seen Li Zheng."
"This is from Gengjia Village, I'll come and talk about selling the land."
Lin pointed to Geng Qing who was following behind him and explained his purpose to the old man in the gatehouse. The latter glanced at the young man behind him and led him through the Feng Shui wall to the front yard.
Along the way, Geng Qing couldn't help but look around. There were many potted flower beds around, and there were pavilions and water pavilions in the distance. Although Feihu County is a big county and there are many gentry, it is considered luxurious to have such a house in Niujiaji. With his own strength, he may not be able to defeat Mr. Liu at all.
After entering the reception hall, the maid brought the tea and put it down, and hurriedly left. She was sitting by the side and served the tea and tasted it naturally. Obviously, she often came here.
Soon, the manager in the yard came over, and there was an obese figure behind him, wearing a square robe with golden thread and walking, waiting by two pretty maids, and the first person came to sit down.
Geng Qing had seen him, the fat man who came over in a ox cart that day.
The tea was presented, and Liu Mang first exchanged a few greetings with Li Zheng before looking at the young man who looked helpless next to him, touched his upper lip and spoke with a smile.
"Brother, have we seen it somewhere?"
"Go back to Mr. Liu, we met at the entrance of the village when you went to Gengjia Village two days ago." Geng Qing stood up in a hurry, trying to make himself look so nervous that he would tell the story like a bean before the other party could answer the words.
"My father was beaten with a stick. The young man had just recovered from a serious illness and could not swing his hoe. He also knew that Gengjia Village could not beat you. It would be better to follow the master to have a meal first."
Often, the more this happens, the less concise he is. Liu Mang likes dealing with people like this. He looks at Li Zheng with his eyes inquiring. The latter nodded and took out the piece of land from his arms, and handed it to the manager in the yard. The black and white paper and the faded official seals are not fake. When he comes to his hands, even if he doesn't give the other party any money today, he can still get a mu of land for nothing.
The other party just took Tian Qi over and dared to do this, either honestly or make plans step by step, and was very scheming. However, Gengjia Village has never produced any talented people for several generations, and they are ignorant of big words, and have never heard of such a person.
Liu Mang naturally abandoned the latter. The young man doesn't look so honest at the moment, so there is only one possibility, a villain who flatters and seeks profit.
Instead, he likes such people even more. As long as he is rich and powerful, he can be as obedient as a dog and wag his tail in front of his feet.
Afterwards, after hearing this, the inside was giving him a guarantee. Without even thinking about it, Liu Miao brought dozens of money to bring him money and wrote a document to Geng Qing to cover it.
"I can naturally trust Wang Li as a guarantee. Gengjia Village has 30 acres of land and 10 acres of high-quality fertile land, each acre is worth fifteen stakes, and the middle 20 acres of land and eight stakes per acre, totaling 230 stakes. I will take 60 stakes as the deposit. Do you think the combined number? Just make a mark."
Although I don’t know the price of the field in this dynasty, Geng Qing must have known that there is something wrong with it and he definitely lowered the price.
The manager of the hospital read out the contents of the contract and asked Geng Qing to see that it was a traditional Chinese regular script. It was fake to say that he didn't know it, but at the moment, he hesitated and dared not write, "That... Mr. Liu, I can't read, and I can't write my own name."
"Simple... Tell me your name, he will write a stroke, and you can write a stroke, and then stamp it with a handprint."
Geng Qing said "ah" and said Geng Qing's name. He imitated the other party's strokes and signed the characters, then pressed the red fingerprints.
Mr. Liu looked at the contract and saw the names and handprints written on it in black and white, and smiled like Maitreya. He waved his hand and asked Geng Qing to accept it.
"Liu...Master Liu, sixty silos are too heavy. Can it be exchanged for silver? The real money and silver can make my fellow villagers dizzy."
Liu Miao was stunned for a moment, then laughed louder, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Difficult? Haha... This word is used wonderfully, come on! Go to the warehouse and change it to silver ingots."
Immediately, with a laugh, I added:
"It is inconvenient to bring such a silver gift. It is troublesome to meet a bad person on the road. In this way, I will send two of my confidants back with you."
After saying that, the two guards next to him came over with understanding. When the manager came back with sixty taels of silver, they helped him put the bag in and carried Geng Qing.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Geng Qing bowed with fear and bowed, and he was leaving with the two of them.
Behind him, the yard manager approached his master and looked at the back of the yard.
"Master, do you really need to buy it for 230 guan?"
"Who said that?"
Liu Miao smiled and flicked the paper in his hand.
"I have 60 yuan to buy 30 acres of land. I have written clearly in black and white paper and I have a real estate as a guarantee. That's all mine. Tomorrow, I will call all the guards in my family. We will go to Gengjia Village to collect the land, and if we don't give it, we will beat you to death. This time we are the ones who are responsible."
...
After coming out of Liu's house, Geng Qing smiled and bowed to the two Liu family guards who were following him.
"Please, two."
The sunshine rose to the clouds and was pouring down. Geng Qing smiled and his lips were tightly pursed, becoming more and more like a fox.
