Chapter 84 Another Enchanting Man (2)
"Uncle, behind the village...can you rent or sell the slope of the back mountain to me?"

"Huh? What do you want that hillside for?" Zhou Youjin asked strangely, and then thought of something: "Are you worried that there is no land? Behind our village, there is more than ten acres of open land just next to the creek. It was originally rented out last year. Ganzi from Dongtou has moved to his house, but a few days ago, he came over and said that after two days of harvesting the corn, he would stop planting. If you want, you can rent that land to you, or sell it to you. Okay, that piece of land looks pretty good to me, it’s close to the water, so I’m not afraid of drought.”

When Zhao Xi'er heard Zhou Youjin say this, her eyes lit up in surprise and she said, "Ah, that's kind. Uncle, you can sell that piece of land to me too." She happened to be buying land to grow flowers.

"Yeah? You mean you want the back hillside?" Zhou Youjin was puzzled, why do you want the hillside?Weeds and Nepeta are overgrown, and there is nothing to grow.

Zhao Xi'er nodded with a smile: "Well, I want to plant peach and plum trees, these are fine." Maybe she can turn this Peach Blossom Village into a tourist attraction!
"Planting peach trees? Plum trees?" Zhou Youjin frowned, and said worriedly: "Xi girl, I can understand you planting peach trees. But we have already planted a lot by the creek behind our village, enough for the people in our village to eat." Yes, no matter how many, even if it is usually sold at the market, it is not easy to sell. Also, if you want to plant plum trees, it is useless."

Zhao Xi'er nodded. The current transportation method is not good, and the shelf life of the fruit is limited, so it is indeed impossible to plant it on a large scale.Still, all she wants are flowers, and that's all right.

"Uncle, I know you are worried about me, but I planted peach trees and plum trees, not for peaches, but for peach blossoms and plum blossoms." Zhao Xier was grateful to Zhou Youjin for thinking of herself, so she was willing to explain to him .

"Flowers?" Zhou Youjin became even more depressed. The flowers were beautiful, but they disappeared within a few days.What is the use?

Zhao Xi'er saw Zhou Youjin who was puzzled, and knew that he still couldn't figure it out.Then he patiently explained: "The flowers can be used for a lot of things besides viewing them. For example, they can be eaten or made into cakes. For example, they can be used as incense or face powder."

Zhou Youjin nodded half-understood: "But we don't need any of these."

"We don't need it, but the rich people in the outer cities use it. We make it and sell it to them." Zhao Xier only needs to think that the food, perfume and powder she developed will earn a lot of money for herself. With a lot of money, I feel refreshed.

Zhou Youjin nodded in a sudden realization, and he was even more thankful that he didn't think hard enough to offend Zhao Xi'er about Zhou Youcai's family.Look...these, have they thought about it or not, but they have already figured it out.And she also made friends with Rao Yan's family, so she would not worry about not being able to sell it, which is indeed excellent.

"Xi girl, you are clever. The sloping land behind the mountain is not worth much. But the land that belongs to our village has at least 300 mu. If it is rented, it is 1000 taels a year. If it is sold with a land deed, it will be expensive. If you pay more, it will cost at least [-] taels of silver. As for the land behind the village, ten taels of silver is enough. These are the public accounts of the village. Come here, let's study and study together to see if it can be less." Although Zhou Youjin intends to favor Zhao Xi'er, but the value of those lands is there, he can't be too disregarding everyone's feelings.

Zhao Xi'er thought about it in her mind, if in another month, the liner is in operation, she should be able to save enough money to buy the back hillside land at the beginning of spring.Hmm... It seems that her plan to make money has to speed up.

"Uncle, the money in my hand is not enough now, so why don't I buy the land behind the village first, and then buy the land on the hillside after the new year."

"Okay, that's fine. I'll fix the land deed for you at night. I'll go to the town to stamp it early tomorrow morning and send it to you in the afternoon. It's 15 taels of silver. I'll go to the town to get the land deed done tomorrow. Come back and ask a few people in the village to go to the ancestral hall together." Seeing that Zhao Xi'er was only thinking for a while, Zhou Youjin answered him.In my heart, I admire Zhao Xi'er's courage even more. It's a pity that the Zhou family lost such a daughter-in-law.

The third old lady had been sitting on the side and listening cheerfully. Seeing that the matter had come to this point, it was almost over.He nodded in a good mood: "Boss, you should also explain to the villagers that Xi girl's house has been built, but I have to set up a banquet to thank everyone. These days, Xi girl is busy, if there is any impoliteness, please invite them Take it easy."

Zhou Youjin waved his hand: "Third Grandma, what are you talking about. Our village is a sensible person, who can cherish the girl and care about this."

"Father, my uncle, third master, and fifth master are here." Zhang Xing'er followed the three Zhou family old men with Tian Tian in her arms, and walked into the gate of Zhou's courtyard.

Hearing Zhang Xinger's reminder, Zhou Youjin hurriedly stood up and went up to greet him: "Uncle, Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle, come in and sit down."

The Palace of the Underworld in the back mountain.

"Young Master, the Palace Master has ordered you not to enter the Underworld Palace for a month." Two black-clothed, painted-faced dark guards stood at the stone gate, trembling in front of Ling Qianjue.

"Is it the palace master's order?" Ling Qianjue's voice was flat, but his eyebrows were raised slightly, and he looked behind the stone gate.What is this crazy woman trying to do?
"Young master, come and stay safe." A gentle male voice sounded, the stone door slowly opened, and a man dressed in black like Ling Qianjue walked out from the inside.The man's figure was similar to Ling Qianjue's, but his appearance was handsome.

Seeing the person coming, Ling Qianjue frowned slightly.The cold expression on his face remained unchanged: "Why are you back? With Third Young Master Ren?"

"The young master is really smart, but... although the young master can guess that the subordinate came back with Ren Sanshao, he may not be able to guess what the subordinate is doing when he comes back?" The man's face was warm, but his eyes were hard to hide hatred.

Ling Qianjue's heart moved slightly: "Xi'er asked me, where did Zhou Zhiyuan go?"

"Xi'er...how about Zhao Xi'er, what does she have to do with her subordinates?" Although the man looked indifferent and indifferent, the panic in his eyes just now betrayed him.

Ling Qianjue suddenly flashed his figure, and his right hand had already caught the man's right hand.

"Little Lord……"

"What's the matter with your hand?" Ling Qianjue's eyes fell on the man's thumb, and when the scar was wiped, he instantly understood why Zhao Xi'er suddenly pulled his hand in the cave yesterday.So that girl suspected him yesterday?
"I accidentally hurt you, why should the young master make such a fuss." The man pretended to be calm, and turned his eyes to look elsewhere.

Ling Qianjue let go of his hand suddenly, turned around and walked out of the cave.According to the original plan, Zhui Ming should pretend to be him in the capital, but Zhui Ming is now back.The crazy woman still hasn't seen him, the strangest thing is how Zhuiming came back with Ren Sanshao.Could it be... the crazy woman and Ren Sanshao cooperated?Isn't Xi'er in danger?
