The boat left the gate of the Nanmen Port in Yongfeng County and headed towards Shangrao. The Xie family and his son stood on the shore and waved to the side of the boat frequently, as if they were farewell. Xiao Xitong Sixi and others were passing through the river beside the river. The Xie family at the gate disappeared, so they said to Zeng Yu: "Young Master, look at what gifts the Xie family has given?"

Sixi is most keen on checking gifts and hopes that the more people will give gifts to the young master, the better. Seeing that the young master nodded, he opened two big gift boxes to check and reported to the young master:

"Young master, there are two old ginseng. This one is Sancha deer antler, which is precious-"

"There is also a jar of tiger bone wine, and these two cans should be camellia oil."

"One pack of olives, one pack of candied fruit, one pack of rock sugar, one pack of brown sugar, two packs of tea."

"Eight kinds of snacks in lacquer boxes, two knives of bacon, and the lotus leaves are wrapped in two salted fish. Hey, there are so many things-"

The four joys were just getting angry when they suddenly became quiet and whispered: "Young Master, there is still a silver."

Zeng Yu said "Oh" and leaned over to see. Sixi weighed the silver and said confidently: "There are twelve taels, which is twice as heavy as the one given to the county master yesterday."

Zeng Yu said, "The silver is all kept." He sat on the side of the boat and thought to himself, "No wonder the scholar can make a fortune as long as he is a worldly person. As soon as I started school, someone gave gifts, and it was still my own relatives. Should I collect gifts from my own relatives? Twelve taels of silver are almost enough for our family of three - and Sixi, a family of four is a year old. Hey, if I take lawsuits for someone, I should be able to accumulate a considerable fortune in less than a few years, but the lawyer will be stabbed by someone. Although I don't think this is an immoral matter, my mother is afraid, so I'd better forget it."

The boat was smooth sailing. It arrived at the Sanjiang Wharf of Shangrao just after noon. The porter on the pier. When the sedan chair was seen as someone got off the boat, he came up to ask if he wanted to hire a cargo? Should he hire a sedan chair?

Those who carry the wife's hand with a shoulder pole, which seems to be going to start a fight without taking care of his business. The sedan chair is actually a rope carriage, like carrying a pig to sell. Zeng Yu never sat on such a rope carriage. Of course, there are real sedan chairs, but the charge is much higher than the rope carriage. The heat of the summer has not yet passed, and the rope carriage can attract customers more.

Zeng Yu hired an elderly porter. His luggage was not heavy, totaling seven or eighty kilograms. He agreed to send it to Zhujiafan for 40 cents. He was carrying valuables such as silver, ginseng and antlers, and carried them. Zeng Yu said he would go around outside the North City Gate and look at the house of Uncle Wu Chunze.

The three of them walked against the city of Mohuogou and arrived at the house outside the north gate. After five days, the house was completely renewed. The gap of the bamboo fence in front of the gate was repaired. The weeds in the courtyard were cleaned, and the dog shit was cleaned. The gate that was originally covered with spider silk was also washed to see the mottled paint foundation. The two village men were carrying a basket of earth and stones. Zeng Yu asked who asked them to clean it up here. The village men said: "It's Wu Xianggong from Wu Village."

Another villager said: "It's not Mr. Wu, but Mr. Wu's uncle."

Zeng Yuxin said, "I haven't seen Wu Chunze's uncle yet. I wonder if he wants to raise the price on the ground or just plans to sell it to me for fifty taels of silver?"

When he arrived at Zhujiafan, Zeng Yu paid five cents more to send the porter back. He went in to see his mother Zhou and his sister Zeng Ruolan and told him about his return home. Zeng Ruolan was naturally happy. Zeng Ruolan smiled and said, "Xiaoyu is a scholarly turban, and even the Xie family has to give in. Xie family has always been so angry."

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I am still me, and I don't have one eye and two arms. Just wearing such a square scarf is a big difference. It seems that the Xie family is not giving in to me, but giving in to the scholar's headscarf." He laughed and asked, "Sister, can my brother-in-law still be safe these days? How has the stick injury healed?"

Zeng Ruolan's face became much brighter and she chuckled: "He can only lie on his back and recuperate. How can he be restless - the wound of the stick healed well and had already scabbed."

Zeng’s mother Zhou smiled and said, “Your brother-in-law now knows Ruolan’s good, and the two are very loving.”

Zeng Ruolan said shyly: "Why don't you talk about love? He wants me to serve now. Once the injury is healed, I'm afraid I will do it again."

Zeng Yu smiled "hey" and said, "After this court trial, my brother-in-law should know the true face of a woman like Jiang Yuqin, and should know to repent. However, my sister should never spoil him if he is more responsible than before. It is better to take stricter control."

Zeng's mother Zhou said angrily: "I want you to teach me a lesson!"

Zeng Ruolan said: "Little Fish is right. I haven't seen Little Fish for a year. It seems that he has suddenly grown up. His words are very worldly."

Zeng Yu said: "I am twenty years old, and I will not grow up yet when will I wait."

Zeng Ruolan remembered something and said, "Xiaoyu, are you really planning to buy the house outside the North Gate? Yesterday, Xiucai Wu came here to ask if you are back?"

Before Zeng Yu could answer, Zeng Ruolan said again: "What's wrong with you, Aunt Zhou, and Niu Niu living here? The house here is still spacious. Even if you want to buy a house, you don't have to hurry up and look for it."

Zeng Yu said: "That house is very good. The so-called bad Feng Shui is their own mistake. One fortune, two fate, and three Feng Shui. I will correct it a lucky house. In two days, I will accompany my mother and sister to see it. When I passed there, I saw Wu Xiucai's uncle who asked me to clean it. In two days, Yu Jing should be cleaned up. You can go and have a look."

Zeng's mother, Zhou, happily agreed that she did not want to live in Zhu's family. Zeng Ruolan was not her daughter after all, and her son Zeng Yu was already twenty years old, so she had to ask someone to be a matchmaker. When the matchmaker proposed marriage, she said that she was not embarrassed to live in her brother-in-law's house. She had to have her own home as soon as possible. As for the auspicious house, she believed that her son's vision would not be bad.

After dinner, Zeng Yu asked Sixi to carry the eight kinds of desserts in lacquered boxes delivered by Mr. Xie, plus a bag of tea and a bag of candied fruit, and sent them with him to Wu Chunze, saying that it was Yongfeng Tuyi. Wu Chunze was kind and accepted with a smile.

Zeng Yu was talking to Wu Chunze about visiting Mr. Xia at Dongyan Academy. An old man in his sixties came to the hall and bowed to Zeng Yu, "Is this Zeng Hunter?"

Wu Chunze told Zeng Yu: "Brother, this is my uncle, the owner of the house in the north gate."

Zeng Yu hurriedly got up to greet him and learned that Wu Chunze's uncle Wu Daoming is now living in the house of his daughter and son-in-law in Yushan. The day before yesterday, Wu Chunze sent a letter saying that he wanted to buy a house here before he came here. Wu Daoming's face looked quite lonely and cold. People's fate often leaves deep traces on their faces and expressions. Those who are good at appearances can see their past experiences from their faces-

Wu Daoming didn't say much, just wanted to sell the house as soon as possible, only fifty taels. He brought his deed and land deeds. When did Zeng Yu get a contract transfer?

Zeng Yu said: "Make a contract to transfer the property the day after tomorrow. I will take my mother and the others to see the house tomorrow. Uncle Wu is worried. I am sure I will buy that house."

Wu Daoming said: "June Zeng is sure to buy it. Jackson Zeng is a blessed person. The young man is not blessed and cannot live in that house. He can only sell it at a low price." After sighing, he said: "The day after tomorrow, the young man asked the elders of the clan in the village to have a drink, and he got the matter done."

On the morning of the next morning, Zeng Yu hired a carriage for his mother Zhou and his sister Zeng Ruolan to visit the house outside the north gate. Niu Niu also wanted to see her room. Zeng Yu said he would give her a room alone. Niu Niu was very excited. Astong and Awei sisters came with him, and were taken care of by Mei Xiang and the old servant Lao Shan. They took the bus and walked, but only six miles away, and arrived in three minutes.

After two days of manure removal, the house no longer looks so desolate and dilapidated. It has restored its original five- or six-point weather. Unlike the gate of Guangxin Mansion's residential area facing southeast, this house faces north and south, with high walls with horse heads on all sides forming a closed house. It looks very safe to live in it. Although the white walls are eroded by wind and rain, as long as they are repaired and painted, they will still be white walls and black tiles, with elegant colors.

The blue brick door mat, stone carving leaks windows, the entrance hall is a large patio, with wing rooms on both sides, facing the patio is a tall single-story brick-and-wood main hall, with two large rooms on the center, and there is a corridor on both sides. There is a corridor on the right side of the main hall, which is not an open-air corridor. If you enter and exit the corridor on rainy days, you will not wet your shoes. The corridor is connected to a patio behind. The courtyard is a two-story wooden building in the north of the courtyard. The door room at the bottom is an inner hall, with bedrooms on both sides, and there is a bedroom on both sides. There is a garden of more than two acres behind. Two days ago, Wu Daoming hired two village men to clean up the back garden, drove away several nests of wild cats, cut the weeds and cut the shrubs, and it was cleared out. There is a well with a bluestone guardrail, which has been abandoned for many years. If you want to use it, you have to ask someone to clean the well.

Zeng's mother Zhou looked around and was very satisfied. The house was bigger than the old house in Shitian. Judging from the wood, it was indeed newer. Zeng's mother Zhou said to her son Zeng Yu: "You can do it if you think Xiaoyu, please do it. Mom, look at this house."

Zeng Ruolan had nothing to say. If Feng Shui is fine, it would be too cheap to buy this house for fifty taels of silver.

Niu Niu has booked a room on the second floor of the wooden building. Atong and Awei have also seized one. They laughed and said, "The haunted house that has been abandoned for many years is angry."
