The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 34: buy mountains

Views:

After she had the money, Gu Jiao thought about what to do.

The next day Xiao Liulang returned from school, and the family of three sat in the main room for dinner.

It is said that they are a family of three, but in fact there is no relationship between them, but they are strangely harmonious.

The old lady ate a big chicken leg, glanced at Gu Jiao, and said, "If you have something to say, say it!"

Gu Jiao: The old lady has good eyesight, how can she tell she has something to say

"I want to buy mountains." Gu Jiao said.

"Winter shirt or autumn shirt?" The old lady gave Gu Jiao a speechless little look, as if complaining about such a trivial matter was worth grumbling about.

"I'm not talking about clothes, but the mountain, the mountain behind our village." Gu Jiao always picked fungus and mushrooms on the mountain, and found that there were a lot of good things there. You can also cut wood, hunt... In short, the mountainside is full of value, and it will never be a loss.

"Buy it!"

Surprisingly, the old lady didn't hesitate at all. When it comes to spending money, the old lady is really impeccable and generous.

If this was replaced by the original owner's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, I was afraid that she would jump up and scold Gu Jiao: "Little Sangmen star, prodigal girl, you also buy the mountain, the money is blown by the strong wind!"

In the eyes of most villagers, mountains are worthless. At most, they can chop some firewood and pick some wild vegetables. Although there are mountain goods and prey, no one will buy the whole mountain for these things.

Gu Jiao knows the goods and has the ability to deal with any danger in the deep mountain, so that mountain will be a huge cornucopia in her hands.

In the past, it was fine for her to make up her own mind. Xiao Liulang never interfered with any of her decisions, but since the arrival of the old lady, their relationship seems to have undergone some subtle changes.

"Are you talking about the mountain that went up from the back of Uncle Luo's house?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"Yeah." Gu Jiao nodded.

Qingquan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. What she likes is the mountain in the middle, and it is also the mountain that the villagers often go to. Uncle Luo's house is at the foot of the mountain.

"Okay, I'll ask Li Zheng later." Xiao Liulang didn't hesitate.

Gu Jiao scratched her little head, it was her grandfather, she could ask, she didn't say it to keep him busy.

After dinner, Xiao Liulang went to the old house of the Gu family.

Zhou and Liu were beaten 30 times by the yamen, and they have been lying in the house honestly for the past few days to recover from their injuries, and the house is quite clean.

"Brother-in-law! Why are you here?" It was Gu Xiaoshun who opened the door.

"I'm here to find Lizheng." Xiao Liulang said.

Although he married Gu Jiao, he always addressed the old man as honest.

"Oh." Gu Xiaoshun was only surprised that his brother-in-law would come to the door, but he was not surprised by the name of his brother-in-law. After all, the Gu family forced his brother-in-law to get married first, and squeezed his brother-in-law's hard-earned money later, and every stroke was a debt.

"Master, brother-in-law is here!" Gu Xiaoshun led Xiao Liulang to Old Master Gu's house.

Old Man Gu glanced at Xiao Liulang unexpectedly. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao came to Gu's old house after their wedding.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Old Man Gu asked.

Xiao Liulang said calmly: "I'm here to ask Li Zheng, how to sell the mountain behind Luo Ershu's house?"

"Why are you asking this? Does anyone in your academy want to buy a mountain?" No matter how big a mind, Old Man Gu would never have expected that it was his granddaughter who wanted to buy a mountain, "That mountain will cost a lot of money... Moreover, it is also It's not someone who wants to buy it. That mountain is not under the control of our village, nor under the control of the county government. It is the land of the temple."

"Temple?" Xiao Liulang frowned slightly, he didn't know there was actually a temple here.

Old Man Gu said: "Yes, it's the temple. You haven't been here since you came here. Maybe you haven't been there. On the other side of the mountain, you can walk around the foot of the mountain in about an hour. If you academy people want to buy a mountain, I have to go to the temple to find them to preside over the abbot."

Thinking of something, the old man Gu said again: "Speaking of which, Jiao Niang was born in that temple."

After Xiao Liulang returned home, Gu Jiao greeted him and asked him, "How is it? What did the Gu family say?"

Xiao Liulang relayed the original words of the old man Gu.

"It's the land in the temple..." The original owner has never been to the temple, no, according to Old Man Gu, she was born in the temple, so she has been there, "Didn't you say how much money it would cost? "

"I didn't say it specifically, but maybe one hundred taels is not enough." Xiao Liulang said.

"Oh, then I still have it." Gu Jiao said, grabbing a handful of naked silver coins from her pocket and placing it on the table.

The old lady's action of eating melon seeds stopped.

But it wasn't over yet, Gu Jiao grabbed another handful, one, one, another.

The old lady and Xiao Liulang were stunned at the same time, these silver naked sons have twenty or thirty taels at least, where did she get them

Xiao Liulang calmed down and asked, "Did you earn it all from selling mountain goods?"

"Yeah!" Gu Jiao tried her best to widen her eyes with a sincere expression, "It's definitely not a fight!"
