That night, Li Yuanjin placed his men at the homes of Chen Mancang, Shi Feng and others.
Seeing him leaving with a change of clothes, Xu Yin thought he would not come back, so she locked the courtyard door as soon as it got dark. But I saw him holding the courtyard wall with both hands and climbing over the wall easily.
"..." Xu Yin almost laughed angrily, "If there is a door, climb over the wall!"
"Save me the trouble of waking up my third sister."
"..." Is this guy still reasonable?
After entering the house and seeing what he was wearing, I realized that he had gone to Dongshan'ao hot springs.
"Why does my wife look at me like this? Is it because I went to take a bath and didn't ask my wife to come with me? Or does my wife think I'm handsome and can't take my eyes away?"
"..."
She dared to say that in the small world she had traveled through before, all the "hims" put together were not as thick-skinned as this one.
During dinner, Li Yuanjin learned from his third sister that Erlang had become a disciple of a down-and-out scholar from the next town. There were many people at that time, so he didn't ask much. At this moment, he came to Xu Yin and said, "Sorry for bothering me, Madam!" Big brother, I didn’t think of sending my younger brother to study.”
Xu Yin looked at him with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm using the money you deposited with me."
Li Yuanjin laughed: "If you give it to the lady, it belongs to the lady. You can spend it however you want."
Xu Yin pondered: "What if I use it to buy land and hills?"
"Which land and which mountain? I'll help you take a look while I take a bath."
"This is the mountain in front of you."
Xu Yin has already had this idea.
This mountain may not look like a small Chai Mountain, but it is connected to the mountain with the bamboo forest at the back. It is quite large. There is also a hot spring in Dongshan Col. If it is developed properly, a hot spring villa may be built.
Since we are cultivating medicinal materials here, and medicinal materials such as ginseng are better as they age, we will definitely live here in the short term. In this case, it is better to buy the hilltop as soon as possible.
"But it doesn't matter what you want on this mountain. Why buy it?"
"After buying it, we will clear out the dead trees and bushes and plant tea."
There are natural hot springs, the temperature is suitable, and it seems that there is plenty of rain so far. The soil is slightly acidic red soil, and none of the species is as beneficial as tea trees.
Li Yuanjin saw that she had an idea in her mind, scratched her head and smiled naively: "Okay! Whatever the lady says, I will listen to the lady!"
Xu Yin looked at him with a playful and complicated look: "Aren't you afraid that I will give your bag of money to Huo Huoguang?"
"My wife's willingness to spend my money shows that she doesn't treat me as an outsider. I'm not happy enough."
"..." This fool!
Seeing that he supported his career so much, Xu Yin got up early the next day and cooked a sumptuous breakfast for him and his men.
Each person has a rice ball with egg and meat floss that can only be held with both hands, two tea eggs marinated all night, and a bowl of spicy soup.
Those who came to serve as soldiers were often from poor families, and wealthy families could be exempted from corvee service by paying a small sum of money.
So let alone enjoy it, I have never seen such a sumptuous breakfast.
All of them burst into tears.
Li Yuanjin kicked them: "Why don't you take it and eat it quickly! How long will it take for my wife to serve it!"
The soldiers finally came to their senses, raised their sleeves to wipe the corners of their eyes, thanked Xu Yin, took it and ate it.
"Delicious!"
"It turns out that rice balls can be so delicious! I have only ever eaten wild vegetable rice balls made by my mother! They were dry and tasteless at all!"
"This egg is different from the one I ate yesterday."
"What's different? It's fragrant and delicious! It's so delicious!"
Xu Yin said with a smile: "It's really different. Yesterday's was five-spice braised eggs, and today's is tea eggs. The ingredients used in cooking are different."
Li Yuanjin got tired of it and pulled her towards the kitchen: "Madam, you haven't eaten yet! Don't worry about them!"
"..." Are you so polite in front of soldiers?
"I'm still hungry too."
OK!
Xu Yin brought him his breakfast and rewarded him with a soft-boiled egg.
"Third sister likes soft-boiled eggs the most. I'll boil one for you to try."
Li Yuanjin said that he was a man and didn't like sweets, but when he tasted it, it was so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue.
But he did not forget Xu Yin: "Madam, what about you? Don't you have one yourself?"
"I can cook it anytime I want. This is specially cooked for you, it's a double yolk egg."
"My wife, you are so good to me! Don't worry, I will never let you down!"
"..." You have so many dramas!
After a hearty breakfast, Li Yuanjin led his men and left Xingfu Village with three steps.
He took away the food and fish food formula prepared by Xu Yin for him.
An order for bricks and tiles was left for the entire barracks to be built.
Xu Yin waited for him to leave, then asked Chen Mancang about the procedures for buying Shantou.
"This is an ownerless mountain. If you want to buy it, just go to the Yamen to apply for a title deed. But why are you buying this mountain? If you want to chop wood, you can cut it now? Why spend that money to buy it?"
Xu Yin said it was useful.
She wanted to keep it a secret for the time being until she found the tea saplings of this dynasty.
"Uncle Mancang, the bamboo mountain behind is also ownerless, right?"
"I've been here for so long, but I haven't heard of an owner. If you really want to buy a mountain, Zhushan is better. Fortunately, there are bamboos. You can dig some bamboo shoots to eat all year round."
Xu Yin inquired about the procedures for buying a mountain, asked Chen Mancang to take care of the house, then put on men's clothes and went out with her third sister.
First go to the next town to see Erlang. Everything was fine with him, but when he saw the two of them, his eyes turned red and he said he missed home.
Xu Yin comforted him: "Your eldest brother came back two days ago. He was very happy to hear that you were studying with Master Wen. He even said that he would reward you with a silver coin next time he sees you."
Erlang's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard this: "Brother, did he really say that? But where did he get the money?"
"The military salary he saved! I couldn't bear to give it to him if I asked him to, but he insisted on leaving it to you, Erlang!"
Erlang beamed with joy: "Sister-in-law, please tell me that I will study hard! When the time comes, I will take the exam and take you all to live in the capital!"
Xu Yin: "..."
He said in his heart, Erlang, you are a bit repaying a favor with an enemy.
After watching Erlang, Xu Yin rented a carriage in the next town and took her third sister straight to the county seat.
"Sister-in-law, where are we going?" Third sister opened the carriage curtain, quietly looked outside, and asked curiously, blinking her dark almond-shaped eyes.
"Are you happy to take you to the county town?"
Xu Yin pinched her cheeks that finally had some flesh. Finally, she was no longer a skinny little black girl.
"Happy!"
It was almost dusk when we arrived at the county seat. Xu Yin found an inn to stay at, and went to the Yamen to apply for the land deed the next morning.
"Brother Hero!"
The yamen servant recognized her and said in surprise: "Brother, why are you in the city? Is there something wrong?"
They have all heard that the county magistrate has to go to the peak to appreciate him, and he will be promoted to another prefectural city to be the prefect in the next year. Most of this is due to Xu Yingxiong.
Xu Yin also just knew that the county magistrate was about to be promoted. She was glad that she came to buy the mountain now, in case the new county magistrate who was transferred in a year would not be able to get along with her.
So, she made slight adjustments to her original plan: in addition to Chaishan and Zhushan, she also bought a large area of wasteland around it.
