Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 681

Looking at Xiao Wu's opened facial features, it's not that she's boasting, this baby is really good-looking, taking advantage of the advantages of the original owner and the couple, with a handsome face, deep eyebrows, and seriousness.

At the age of 17, with a slender body, he looks about [-] by visual inspection, and he may grow a little longer.

Although his skin is not pampered and fair, it is healthy and ruddy. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a contemporary young talent.

Although their family background is a little lower, this kid is good at studying, he is a good seedling.

If someone is caught and abducts her son to become her son-in-law, the next generation will definitely belong to a good breed, ahem... She has no place to cry.

In this era, businessmen, farmers, businessmen and merchants have endless money and wealth to spend, but because of their limited status, it is difficult to integrate into those noble circles.

As the old saying goes, cats have cat ways and dogs have dog ways. In short, all roads lead to Rome. Those merchants who want to stabilize their wealth and earn more money often subsidize some poor students who are talented in reading.

Supporting them to study and pursue official careers, and then let them protect the family, this is a popular bet in the business circle.

Those poor students are their first choice.

Businessmen value profits, once they are in the circle, if they want to break out, it will be as difficult as going to the sky.

Hearing Mother's reminder, thinking about the episode in the garden just now, Xiao Wu frowned,

"Don't worry, mother, I will be careful."

Although he didn't think that anyone would go out of his way to plot against him, since his mother mentioned it, he should pay more attention.

After talking to Xiao Wu for a few words, Wen You had already set up the ox cart.

Bai Yunxi bid farewell to Zhang's family, entrusted Xiao Wu to Dean Zhang, and then got into the ox cart and walked out of the county.

"Aunt Bai, I told Xie Yu what you said, and he asked me to tell you thank you."

Wenyou sat cross-legged on the cart and spoke softly.This afternoon, Ma Ruren took her niece away with a look of apprehension on her face. Aunt Bai asked her to go to Xie Yu and told him about Ma Ruren's plan.

"Xie Yu met such a stepmother, it is indeed enough to drink a pot. As for whether he can avoid it, it depends on his means."

Bai Yunxi shook his head, that Ma Ruren was so impure that he could even take advantage of his niece, and probably had a lot of dark tricks.

It's easy to hide a sharp gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow. Living under the same roof every day, if you get caught in a trick, you will have to respond.

"Don't worry, Aunt Bai. Xie Yu isn't just an idler, he's smart. Besides, the Ma family isn't a big family. Ma Ruren's father is an emeritus county magistrate, a ninth-rank official."

In her spare time, she went for a stroll, and without deliberately inquiring, she knew about the situation of the Ma family.

"After the owner of the horse retires, his heirs will be mediocre people for the rest of his life. He lives on a little farm and a few shops, and his family is in poverty. In order to maintain the dignity of the official family, he married his daughter to the county magistrate as a successor. Well, the whole family depends on this aunt."

In the eyes of the common people, the situation of Ma's family is not to be provoked, but inside they are struggling and suffering unspeakably.

Listening to Wen You's narration, Bai Yunxi nodded, one word, poor.

People are poor and short-sighted, no wonder Ma Ruren is staring at Xie Yu's mother's dowry.In addition to maintaining the dignity of her mistress, she also has to take care of her natal family, no wonder she is so eager for success.

"Where's the Duan family? Any news?"

She was very curious about Xie Yu's maternal grandfather's house.

"The roots of the Duan family are in Fucheng. It is said that they are some powerful merchants who are very rich. But the one who really makes Xie Yu's taboo is Xie Yu's aunt. I heard that she is married to Fucheng Tongpan. people."

Hearing the news Wen You inquired about, Bai Yunxi nodded clearly.

It's no wonder that Xie Yu didn't leave a message for her stepmother at all for the general judgment of the sixth grade. It turns out that the backstage is really hard.

In addition to assisting the magistrate in handling government affairs, the duty of the general judgment lies in the fact that all state affairs such as soldiers and civilians, money and grain, household registration, taxes and labor, and prison lawsuits must be signed by the general judgment to take effect.

In addition, Tongju has the power to supervise officials, and is also called Jianzhou by local officials.

It's also the scariest one.

I heard that the county magistrate is assessed every three years, if he can't get even a good word, tsk tsk, it's miserable.

"It turned out that someone pinched him seven inches."

Aunt Xie Yu has such an identity, and Ma Ruren still wants to miss her original spouse's property, so she is courageous enough.

At dusk, the ox cart entered Huici Town.

After walking for a while, I was stopped by someone.
"Sister-in-law Bai stay behind."

Bai Yunxi turned her head and saw Zhao Yalang who was greeting her by the side of the road, so she asked Wenyou to pull the ox cart to a stop.

"Zhao Yalang is polite."

"Sister Bai just came back from the county?"

Seeing Baiyunxi nodding, Zhao Yalang smiled and took a step forward,
"Yesterday, Mr. Zhao acquired another [-] mu of Zhuangzi, all of which are dry land. I have gone to see it. It is considered fertile and belongs to medium-sized fields. I wonder if Mrs. Bai is interested?"

Hearing Tian Chan, Baiyunxi immediately regained his spirits,
"Dry land? Where is it and what is the price?"

She originally wanted to be a landlady, so the more land the better.

"Coincidentally, it's just one mile east of Xiaofangzhuang. It's the property of the Wang family. The squire Wang is old and has a lot of property, so he can't take care of it, so he wants to sell part of the property."

Zhao Yalang said, looking at Baiyunxi with interest, and lowered his voice when talking about the price.

"The general market price of a medium-sized upland field is around [-] cents. Wang Xiangshen has been ill recently, so he bid [-] cents per mu. I asked Mr. Zhao to help find a buyer, and I met you, Sister-in-Law Bai, today."

Medium-sized upland fields cost four pennies per mu, and the price is fairly moderate, but she has to see the details.

Bai Yunxi thought about the savings in the locker, if he bought a hundred acres, he would be able to afford it.

"It sounds like the price is okay. How about the details? Zhao Yalang will take us to see it on the spot tomorrow morning, how about it?"

"Of course there is no problem with this. After reading it, let's talk about it in detail."

Hearing Bai Yunxi's proposal, Zhao Yalang directly agreed.

Buying land property is a major matter for the family, so it is natural to think carefully, and discussing the price after you are satisfied is a sincere transaction.

After an agreed time, Wenyou drove the ox cart, left the town, and went home.

Halfway through, it was completely dark.

Fortunately, her cattle often travel between villages and towns, and they have known the way for a long time. Even with their eyes closed, they can walk home.

She seems to have heard the old man say that all domestic animals seem to know how to go home.

When they appeared at the door of the house, Bai Anyan was shocked.

"Mom, are you finally back?"

"Well, is everything okay at home?" Together, she has been away for four days, which is also the longest time she has been away from home in a long time.

"Don't worry, mother, everything is fine at home."

Bai Anyan said, and helped Wenyou lead the ox cart into the yard, and sent it to the next yard to feed the fodder.
