After Xie Fan finished counting the goods, he asked Dong Zhong to take Ah Fu back to Feng County.
On the one hand, they want to bring back the remaining goods, and on the other hand, they want to pick up Dong Zhong's family.
Everyone was jealous when they saw the yard full of things.
Bai Shi was the same, holding a box of silver in her arms, her teeth itching with hatred.
Nie Yunlong and his twenty brothers were also busy, motivated by interests, and saved a lot of worry.
Then, Xie Fan took Zhang Chao and walked all over the mountain roads of Taiyin Mountain.
Although this mountain is high, there are still many wide platforms on which houses can be built.
These platforms are divided into nine levels from low to high. The top and middle floors are used for warehouses and your own residence. The lower floors are used as houses for other people to live in.
However, as you go higher, the mountain road becomes a bit steep, and several roads need to be built to get out.
At the same time, Xie Fan also observed Zhengyang Mountain from a distance. That mountain was lower and had more flat ground. When you have strength in the future, you must plan carefully.
The cottage is exactly on the fourth floor, below the fourth floor, and is blessed with a flat mountain road.
"Commander Zhang, the lower three floors need to be cleared out to build houses. Where do you think it would be more suitable to hire workers?"
Zhang Chao stood beside Xie Fan and looked up, "Master, how many people do you need to invite for such a big place?"
"Tell me, if I offer two hundred taels of silver, is it enough?" Xie Fan looked at the other party tentatively.
"Two hundred taels?" Zhang Chao clenched the sword in his hand and said through gritted teeth, "One hundred taels, give it to me!"
"Oh? Commander Zhang, are you willing to accept this job?" Xie Fan suppressed his joy and asked doubtfully, "Is it just the construction period?"
"Master, we have twenty soldiers to clean up together. Within ten days, I will give you an explanation!"
"That's it, it's all good!" Xie Fan walked away with a puff of his sleeves, another big problem solved.
Back at the village, Xie Fan called to the Wang family and his wife, "Make the meat fragrant and fat, don't spare it for me!"
"Master, just wait!" Master Wang stuck a kitchen knife on the cutting board with a pleased expression on his face.
Xie Fan was puzzled, "Master Wang, what happy event is this?"
"Master, look at the food in this yard! I said, follow you, you are right!"
Xie Fan whispered, "Master Wang, please work harder and don't worry about wages. I'm thinking about it!"
"Okay, Master!"
Xie Fan left and was walking back when he saw Bai Shi and said politely, "Auntie, I don't know when we will set off? Do you want to prepare some food for the evening?"
Bai Shi snorted coldly and returned to the house.
Xie Fan took the step of disowning his relatives and was extremely happy.
"Fan'er! Fan'er! Something bad happened?"
Xie Fan turned around, and it turned out that Xie Ziming was back, "Uncle, why are you so panicked?"
"I went to the Lin family, and the marriage was not cancelled! Then Miss Lin's family said that marriage is not a trivial matter, and she is determined to marry you!"
"What? Is Miss Lin an ugly monster? Why do you rely on me?"
"I didn't see it either. It was just a message from a servant! What do you think we should do?"
Xie Fan waved his hand. The future can only be discussed in the future. "Did you find a good match for Chen'er during this trip?"
"Even if we have it, don't we still have money?"
"Uncle, why don't you have any money? You have two hundred taels of silver!"
"What? Two hundred taels?"
"Uncle, you'd better ask your aunt!"
Xie Ziming ran back to the house. As soon as the door was closed, he didn't know what to count.
Xie Chen stood in front of a wooden box, opened the box and saw the grain, "Brother, are these grains? We have something to eat!"
"Xie Chen, tell me, whose girl do you like?"
Xie Chen smiled naively and shook his fat cheeks, "The county magistrate's daughter!"
"You kid, you are really brave enough to think about it! What do you think of yourself, don't you have any points?"
"Brother, you have to help me!"
"It depends on fate. If you are willing, I must make it smooth for you!"
"Oh, I just said that my eldest brother is a good person, but dad doesn't believe me!"
Xie Fan patted his silly brother and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Chao squeezed in front of Xie Fan and asked stammeringly, "Master, what are we talking about?"
"Commander Zhang, you go make arrangements first! When the matter is completed, the money will be given to you!"
Zhang Chao ran away in a flash, eager to start work now.
Xie Fan looked at the thirty or so people lounging around the village and sighed.
If you don’t work hard now, don’t be jealous later!
Hui'er held the tea and handed it to Xie Fan, "Master, thank you for your hard work, drink tea!"
Xie Chen arched his eyebrows and asked cheerfully, "Hui'er! Why does your body smell so good?"
"Let me be your wife, okay?" Huier winked and joked.
"Dad said that the two of us are not suitable!"
"Master! This idiot dares to bully me!"
Xie Fan stopped the furious Hui'er, "Hui'er, please stop making trouble! Even if he marries you, will you marry him?"
"I won't marry!" Hui'er pouted and twisted her face angrily. This time, she happened to catch a glimpse of Xie Ziming, and immediately lowered her head in respect.
"Fan'er, look at this, we actually split up our families while I was away!" Xie Ziming looked apologetic, but Bai behind him still looked arrogant.
"Uncle, there is no need to say more. It's a pity that the Xie family is in decline, otherwise I would have given him more money." Xie Fan was very respectful, and felt very happy at the thought that they were going to part ways soon.
Xie Ziming's face was uncertain, and he touched the box containing the silver in his hand, "What do you mean by Fan'er, is this the difference?"
"It's what my aunt meant!" Xie Fan was neither humble nor overbearing, pretending to be sad.
"Forget it! If my uncle becomes successful, he will definitely not forget you!" Xie Ziming burst into laughter and suddenly saw the boxes on the ground in the yard, "Fan'er, what are these?"
"Some grains and cloth are worthless things!"
After hearing this, Xie Ziming felt a toothache and felt something was pulling at him, which made his head hurt. "Why are these things not valuable?"
Xie Fan smiled and said, "I went all out and borrowed these many things, for fear of injuring my uncle!"
Xie Ziming knew that Xie Fan had many evil ideas and didn't know the truth or lies in his words. He gritted his teeth and left with his wife, children and servants.
"It's really irritating!" Hui'er stamped her feet and glared at Xie Fan, "Master, you gave them two hundred taels off in vain!"
Xie Fan touched the other party's head and said, "Send them away and you can be quiet for a few days! Don't worry, you will definitely come back after a few days!"
At this time, light footsteps came.
Xie Fan turned around and saw a woman with a bare face and a white dress.
This person is her father's second wife, Xie Yao's biological mother, Mrs. Hu.
