Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 75
The brothers and sisters were reviewing their old knowledge in the study and learning to read new characters. Unexpectedly, Li Shasha could read characters faster, and Li Xianzhi admitted defeat this time.Li Shasha comforted Li Xianzhi: "Brother, don't worry. Although I can read well, I might not be able to write as well as my brother." Traditional characters are easy to recognize, but to write them out, you have to memorize them carefully.

Li Xianzhi thinks about it too, no matter what he does, he is taught by his husband, and then he who has just learned to teach his younger sister, how can she learn as well as herself.Suddenly remembering what my sister asked me to inquire about, I said solemnly: "Sister, today I asked Mr. for you."

"Oh, my sister is here to thank my brother first!" Li Shasha said and blessed Li Xianzhi.Then he asked, "What's the matter?" Li Xianzhi imitated Mr., put his hands behind his back, and raised his head at a 45-degree angle: "Our Yanbo Town is in the jurisdiction of Li County, and Li County is in The jurisdiction of Huxiang Mansion, and our city is Tanzhou, where our father went to Fenglu Academy."

Li Xianzhi's words gave her some idea. Judging from this situation, it should be in Hunan or Hubei in her previous life.She asked curiously again: "Then where is the country of our Great Chu Dynasty?" Li Xianzhi scratched his head and said, "That is thousands of miles away from us..." After thinking for a while, he said: "That's right. , it’s Shangjing.” Hey, it’s really not easy, when my younger sister becomes a curious baby, he will be overwhelmed, okay?
Li Shasha understood that her brother knew only a little, so she didn't make things difficult for him. She changed the topic and said something else. The siblings kept studying until Li Yulan came to ask them to eat, and they realized that it was getting late.

Not long after dinner, Lao Zheng came as scheduled, Li Shasha noticed again, and Lao Zheng's eyes swept over Mrs. Wang intentionally or unintentionally.Li Shasha asked Li Xianzhi to take Lao Zheng to the open space in the backyard, and let the two of them practice there without being disturbed.

When Lao Zheng left, Mrs. Wang also came over to see him off, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, don't cook alone, come over for dinner and have a homely meal with us, just don't dislike my poor craftsmanship. Already." Li Shasha felt that with Lao Zheng's character, it should be impossible to agree to this matter, but how could Lao Zheng answer after hearing this, "Okay!"

It finally returned to normal, and Lao Zheng returned to his original attitude of cherishing words like gold.Li Shasha didn't feel so awkward when she heard it like this.After Lao Zheng finished saying this word, he just looked up at Mrs. Wang, then turned his head and left.

From then on, there was another silent Lao Zheng in the Li family's daily dinner. Although Lao Zheng came to dinner, he never came empty-handed. Sometimes he brought a hare, sometimes a pheasant, etc. It's too polite for Mrs. Wang to keep talking.

Li Shasha felt that it was just right, her mother's belly was getting bigger and bigger, as if she was blowing air, although she gave milk or porridge, stewed various meats for her mother all day long, it might be better to have game to make up for it, Especially those wild rabbits, this is a good thing, almost no cholesterol, and high in protein.He also told Wangwang not to go to Lei Guozhen, for fear that some parasites on him would cause fetal malformation.

Li Xianzhi was also enriched. He was very busy studying literature during the day and martial arts at night.After Li Shasha uttered harsh words that day, Hou and the others didn't dare to find fault, and their lives became more peaceful.

When Xiao Shunzi came over to pick up vegetables that day, he asked Li Shasha about the wine. Li Shasha only said that next year, the last bottle of this year's wine was brought home by his young master.She asked Xiao Shunzi to find a good dentist. She wanted to buy some fields, and Xiao Shunzi promised to send her a letter as soon as she had any news.

Within a few days, Xiao Shunzi brought over a middle-aged tooth dealer named Tian Erhu who was acquainted with Zui Taibai.After the introduction, Li Shasha sweetly called Tian Erbo, and asked Tian Erhu to call herself Sister Sha.After the two parties were polite, Tian Erhu asked Li Shasha about her request, and Li Shasha told him in detail, and he took out a booklet from his body, flipped through it, and said, "Sister Sha, I have a total of three places here that are more in line with your requirements."

Li Shasha said politely: "Then I would like to ask Tian Erbo to talk about it!" Tian Erhu said with his fingers: "The first piece is near the county seat, [-] mu of fertile land; the second piece is [-] mu in your village. Zhongtian, there is another piece of Ganquan Village, less than one mile away from Yanbo Town, with [-] acres of Zhongtian."

Li Shasha thinks that the land in her own village is better, and she can take care of her nearby.So she asked: "Whose family does Zhongtian in our village belong to?" "It belongs to Li Zongxin's family at the east end of your village. He was completely defeated, and now he owes another gambling debt, so he can only sell the land. Just a son, he can't watch someone hack him to death!" Tian Erhu said with some emotion.

Li Shasha thought for a while and then proposed: "Then Erbo Tian, ​​can you take us there to have a look? If you think it's good, you can make a price." Tian Erhu took Li Shasha and Wang to see it without hesitation. The land of Li Zongxin's family is actually not that far from hers. The only bad thing is that the [-] acres of land are not together, and it is a bit troublesome. Although it is not as good as Li Shasha's land, it is still It looks pretty good too.

Li Shasha had an idea in her mind, so she asked Tian Erhu: "Tian Erbo, this kind of middle fields are not connected together. How much money does he offer per mu?" When Tian Erhu saw Li Shasha asking the price, he said After seeing the shortcomings of this field, you can understand that she really wants to buy it, and the buyer is the one who dislikes the goods.So he was not ambiguous: "Four taels of silver per mu, if you want it all, you can get a [-]% discount if you pay in one lump sum!"

Li Shasha thought for a while, and said, "Tian Erbo, do you think this will work? For such a large amount of money, we need to discuss it with the whole family, or you can come back tomorrow," Tian Erhu agreed the next day. Come here and go back.

When the whole family got together in the evening, Li Shasha told what had happened, and also expressed her inner thoughts: "Four taels of silver per mu of Zhongtian is not cheap, but you can play eight if you pay the full price." If it is discounted, it will be three or two or two per mu, which is really cheap. I think it must be that their family is eager to cash out. If they can agree to our three or two per mu, we will pay in one lump sum." Everyone They all think her idea is very good, just let her do what she thinks in her heart.With everyone's approval, Li Shasha dared to do it with confidence.

On the second day, Tian Erhu came over early in the morning. After greeting him, Li Shasha said straightforwardly: "Tian Erbo, our family discussed it last night. If it is three or two acres, we will pay in one lump sum." money." Tian Erhu said with some hesitation: "The three-two-two price is indeed the reserve price. If you want to cut it here, I can only ask their family." Li Shasha said with a smile: "Tian Erhu It’s fine even if Bo brings them here, your intermediary fee will definitely not be able to escape!”

Tian Erhu asked her to talk about the central matter, smiled at her and said, "Since you said so, I'll just bring them here." After speaking, he went out to invite Li Zongxin to come over.Not long after, Li Zongxin followed with his wife Huang Sanniang.Li Shasha told Li Zongxin her thoughts, and Li Zongxin hesitated when he heard it, and he still felt a little uncomfortable after chopping off another four taels all at once.

Li Shasha went to the back room and took out a cloth bag, shook it, and there was a sound of silver hitting each other inside.She smiled and said to Li Zongxin and his wife: "If the new uncle and the third aunt think it's okay, this bag of money can be taken away." Li Zongxin was still thinking about it, but Huang Sanniang over there couldn't help it, stood up and said : "The head of the family, 60 taels is 60 taels. If we don't sell the fields quickly, our family's big treasure will lose his fingers."

It took two days to complete the payment, transfer of ownership, and issuance of the red deed. Li Shasha asked Tian Erhu to write Wang's name on the land deed, and gave Tian Erhu six taels of silver as a middleman fee. Reward him for his quick work, and remember to send her a letter after the agreement is made.After seeing off Tian Erhu, Li Shasha said to Li Zongxin and his wife again: "New Uncle and Third Aunt, I'd like to let you grow the [-] acres of land in the future, just pay five cents of the rent every year." Li Zongxin and Huang Sanniang listened I am very grateful, I did not expect to be able to plant my own land in the end, and the rent is cheaper than other people's, I am really grateful.

In fact, Li Shasha's idea was that her family had planted the [-] acres of land for many years, and they were clear about any problems with the land. It was much cheaper than letting her hire someone to farm the land.To collect less rent is to allow them to serve these lands with all their heart and have a good harvest next year.In fact, the family does not have to worry about the food they eat, and the most piled up in the No. [-] warehouse is rice noodles.She wants to sell the harvest of these fields and exchange it for silver, and then buy land after saving more money. After this cycle, her family can become a landlord family, and she can also be a small landlord wife!

Half a month later, Li Zonghui brought a letter from Fucheng, and now Li Shasha has read the written word, so when Li Zonghui's letter came, she was the one who read it to Wang and Lei Guozhen.

Li Zonghui's letter was mainly to report his safety, and then he talked about his life in the academy.Sure enough, he worshiped under Feng Sanqing's sect. Chief Feng Shan liked him very much and treated him very well.The academy also confiscated his tuition fees, even his board and lodging expenses. Except for spending a little money on the way there and buying some pens, ink, paper and inkstones after arriving at the academy, he was not willing to spend it. I keep it in my luggage.
