    “This is something that mother can just take a decision on.” Wei Ruo did not want to get involved.

    “It’s like this, Mother has heard that all the land near the Prefecture City is relatively barren, and if it’s plowed directly, the yield isn’t impressive.” Yun said.

    The words had been said to this point, how could Wei Ruo not understand.

    This is to see Wei Ruo improve the soil ability, want to let Wei Ruo help their own industry also improve improve, in order to have a good harvest this year.

    Wei Ruo knew she couldn’t excuse herself, so she said, “I’ll go and take a look after mother has made her purchases.”

    Yun’s face immediately added a few more smiles, followed by: “In addition, last year if the child you planted in the south of the city that rice seed from where to get, can you get some more this year, mother intends to plant this kind of rice seed in a few manor, so that this year’s manor production should be able to be quite a bit better than last year.”

    “I can help contact the Huzhou Prefecture side.” Wei Ruo also did not refuse, but only promised to help contact, want to rice seed still have to school lieutenant’s residence to take out money to buy.

    Yun was even happier when Wei Ruo agreed so readily.

    After finishing the business, Yun’s and rare Wei Ruo gossiped a few words, “What is Ruo’er doing these days?”

    Wei Ruo didn’t answer right away, but looked at Yun with a suspicious gaze.

    Yun explained, “Don’t worry, mother won’t be angry with you, as long as you go out and wear a good veil, don’t have contact with strange men, and don’t act out, mother won’t intervene in your going out anymore.”

    This is also considered a unique in Taizhou Province, can be so free access to Miss Qianjin, looking for Taizhou Province can not find the second.

    “Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo answered without much joy.

    Immediately after Yun said, “And when the manor on this side of the Prefecture is purchased, you can go to your own manor, and my mother will let the people on the manor be at your command, and you can arrange them to your liking.”

    “No need.” Wei Ruo said.

    “Why?” Cloud pursued.

    “When Mr. Wang comes back after the New Year, I will have to take proper classes, and the time to go outside is not very regular. And I don’t want to treat this matter as a task that must be accomplished, then I won’t be able to do it as painfully.” Wei Ruo explained.

    Yun frowned slightly, but it was good to think about it.

    “Good, let you make your own arrangements.” Yun did not force himself.

    ###

    After the first day of spring, the weather begins to turn warmer and warmer by the day.

    The farmers got busy, and Wei Ruo also started to work.

    Although Yun’s side has not said anything, but Wei Ruo in and out will still be careful, can not do too much in order to prevent the fall of the word.

    She is not afraid of her own reputation, this is not intended to marry what high family, this reputation she is not too concerned about, maybe make a little bit of not so good reputation to help her to achieve their own purposes.

    Just now she has to do too many things, do not want to be some insignificant things divided into too much energy, really want to make some things, she most likely will not be able to leisure.

    In addition to the things in the manor, Wei Ruo’s brewery that was planned at the end of last year is also ready to be put on the agenda.

    Because recently Wei Ruo found that this white wine really make money, and can do white wine workshop is not much, profitable that nature is to do.

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    You still need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Dazhongshan Mountain to purchase this place.

    Not as simple as before, Wei Ruo’s negotiations this time ran into a little problem.

    The villagers of the village to which the fancy piece of mountain land belonged did agree to Wei Ruo buying the land and using their mountain spring, but the village headman did not agree.

    The village chief’s reason for not agreeing was that it would ruin the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo and the village people set up a time to have a detailed discussion at the village entrance.

    In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, a table of eight immortals was set up in the open air, and all the families in the village sent people over.

    Sitting at the end of the eight hundredths table is the village’s most prestigious mayor, in his fifties, with white hair, white beard, and a thin face.

    At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men’s clothing, and behind Wei Ruo followed Xiu Mei, who was also dressed in men’s clothing, as well as Steward Yu.

    Most of the people in this village were surnamed Wang, and only a few families came from behind with other surnames, but the power of speech was still in the hands of the Wang clan.

    “Da Qing Shan is our Wang Village’s feng shui mountain, if it is frequently entered and exited by you outsiders, and if you have to use our water source, it will have too great an impact on our village’s chi, and a mere twenty taels of silver will want to get rid of us, absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said righteously.

    A villager beside him persuaded, “Village Chief, twenty taels of silver is for the purchase of the land, and every year in the future, you will get two hundred and fifty Wen for the use of the mountain spring water!”

    Their village has a total of twenty-five families, twenty taels of silver according to the head of the household, divided into each family can have nearly one silver as much as, and then each year can be divided into ten Wen, which is not a small amount of money!

    That small piece of land on the mountain is not much use to their village, and that mountain spring is usually not used by their village, but is just one of the tributaries of their village’s stream, and it’s really quite a lot of money for each family to pay ten cents a year! Some people don’t earn much money even if they go out and work as laborers for a month!

    “Shut up, I’m the village head, you have to listen to me in these matters!” Village Chief Wang directly stopped the villagers from speaking.

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.

    “How much silver does the village chief think it should be?” Wei Ruo inquired.

    “The land will cost one hundred taels of silver for a one-time purchase, and after that, one thousand wen will be given for the use of the mountain spring water every year.” Village Chief Wang said.

    Upon hearing this the villagers behind village head Wang revealed surprised expressions.

    A hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!

    And what this Little Lord Xu wanted to buy was merely that small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!

    That’s an overpriced price.

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    Village Chief Wang, however, was very confident, “Young Duke Xu, I actually know that you’ve been searching for a suitable place in this neighborhood since the end of last year, and since you’ve taken a fancy to Daqing Mountain, I think that this Daqing Mountain has something very appealing to you.”

    Wei Ruo said, “Village Chief Wang, this part of Daqing Mountain as well as the mountain spring water really attracts me, but this price you’ve offered is just a bit too high.”

    Mayor Wang said, “Mr. Xu has a noble aura, and is certainly not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, “Thousands of dollars can’t buy your heart’s desire, so if you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”

    Wei Ruo had a smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village head knew that she had selected this place in the Great Green Mountain after a long period of inspection, so she had the backbone to sit on the ground and raise the price.

    Wei Ruo continued, “I can agree to increase the purchase price of the land from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and after that the annual fee for the use of the mountain spring water will still be two hundred and fifty wen.”

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    You still need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Dazhongshan Mountain to purchase this place.

    Not as simple as before, Wei Ruo’s negotiations this time ran into a little problem.

    The villagers of the village to which the fancy piece of mountain land belonged did agree to Wei Ruo buying the land and using their mountain spring, but the village headman did not agree.

    The village chief’s reason for not agreeing was that it would ruin the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo and the village people set up a time to have a detailed discussion at the village entrance.

    In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, a table of eight immortals was set up in the open air, and all the families in the village sent people over.

    Sitting at the end of the eight hundredths table is the village’s most prestigious mayor, in his fifties, with white hair, white beard, and a thin face.

    At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men’s clothing, and behind Wei Ruo followed Xiu Mei, who was also dressed in men’s clothing, as well as Steward Yu.

    Most of the people in this village were surnamed Wang, and only a few families came from behind with other surnames, but the power of speech was still in the hands of the Wang clan.

    “Da Qing Shan is our Wang Village’s feng shui mountain, if it is frequently entered and exited by you outsiders, and if you have to use our water source, it will have too great an impact on our village’s chi, and a mere twenty taels of silver will want to get rid of us, absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said righteously.

    A villager beside him persuaded, “Village Chief, twenty taels of silver is for the purchase of the land, and every year in the future, you will get two hundred and fifty Wen for the use of the mountain spring water!”

    Their village has a total of twenty-five families, twenty taels of silver according to the head of the household, divided into each family can have nearly one silver as much as, and then each year can be divided into ten Wen, which is not a small amount of money!

    That small piece of land on the mountain is not much use to their village, and that mountain spring is usually not used by their village, but is just one of the tributaries of their village’s stream, and it’s really quite a lot of money for each family to pay ten cents a year! Some people don’t earn much money even if they go out and work as laborers for a month!

    “Shut up, I’m the village head, you have to listen to me in these matters!” Village Chief Wang directly stopped the villagers from speaking.

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.

    “How much silver does the village chief think it should be?” Wei Ruo inquired.

    “The land will cost one hundred taels of silver for a one-time purchase, and after that, one thousand wen will be given for the use of the mountain spring water every year.” Village Chief Wang said.

    Upon hearing this the villagers behind village head Wang revealed surprised expressions.

    A hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!

    And what this Little Lord Xu wanted to buy was merely that small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!

    That’s an overpriced price.

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    Village Chief Wang, however, was very confident, “Young Duke Xu, I actually know that you’ve been searching for a suitable place in this neighborhood since the end of last year, and since you’ve taken a fancy to Daqing Mountain, I think that this Daqing Mountain has something very appealing to you.”

    Wei Ruo said, “Village Chief Wang, this part of Daqing Mountain as well as the mountain spring water really attracts me, but this price you’ve offered is just a bit too high.”

    Mayor Wang said, “Mr. Xu has a noble aura, and is certainly not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, “Thousands of dollars can’t buy your heart’s desire, so if you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”

    Wei Ruo had a smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village head knew that she had selected this place in the Great Green Mountain after a long period of inspection, so she had the backbone to sit on the ground and raise the price.

    Wei Ruo continued, “I can agree to increase the purchase price of the land from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and after that the annual fee for the use of the mountain spring water will still be two hundred and fifty wen.”

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    Village Chief Wang, however, was very confident, “Young Duke Xu, I actually know that you’ve been searching for a suitable place in this neighborhood since the end of last year, and since you’ve taken a fancy to Daqing Mountain, I think that this Daqing Mountain has something very appealing to you.”

    Wei Ruo said, “Village Chief Wang, this part of Daqing Mountain as well as the mountain spring water really attracts me, but this price you’ve offered is just a bit too high.”

    Mayor Wang said, “Mr. Xu has a noble aura, and is certainly not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, “Thousands of dollars can’t buy your heart’s desire, so if you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”

    Wei Ruo had a smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village head knew that she had selected this place in the Great Green Mountain after a long period of inspection, so she had the backbone to sit on the ground and raise the price.

    Wei Ruo continued, “I can agree to increase the purchase price of the land from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and after that the annual fee for the use of the mountain spring water will still be two hundred and fifty wen.”

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    You still need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Dazhongshan Mountain to purchase this place.

    Not as simple as before, Wei Ruo’s negotiations this time ran into a little problem.

    The villagers of the village to which the fancy piece of mountain land belonged did agree to Wei Ruo buying the land and using their mountain spring, but the village headman did not agree.

    The village chief’s reason for not agreeing was that it would ruin the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo and the village people set up a time to have a detailed discussion at the village entrance.

    In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, a table of eight immortals was set up in the open air, and all the families in the village sent people over.

    Sitting at the end of the eight hundredths table is the village’s most prestigious mayor, in his fifties, with white hair, white beard, and a thin face.

    At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men’s clothing, and behind Wei Ruo followed Xiu Mei, who was also dressed in men’s clothing, as well as Steward Yu.

    Most of the people in this village were surnamed Wang, and only a few families came from behind with other surnames, but the power of speech was still in the hands of the Wang clan.

    “Da Qing Shan is our Wang Village’s feng shui mountain, if it is frequently entered and exited by you outsiders, and if you have to use our water source, it will have too great an impact on our village’s chi, and a mere twenty taels of silver will want to get rid of us, absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said righteously.

    A villager beside him persuaded, “Village Chief, twenty taels of silver is for the purchase of the land, and every year in the future, you will get two hundred and fifty Wen for the use of the mountain spring water!”

    Their village has a total of twenty-five families, twenty taels of silver according to the head of the household, divided into each family can have nearly one silver as much as, and then each year can be divided into ten Wen, which is not a small amount of money!

    That small piece of land on the mountain is not much use to their village, and that mountain spring is usually not used by their village, but is just one of the tributaries of their village’s stream, and it’s really quite a lot of money for each family to pay ten cents a year! Some people don’t earn much money even if they go out and work as laborers for a month!

    “Shut up, I’m the village head, you have to listen to me in these matters!” Village Chief Wang directly stopped the villagers from speaking.

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.

    “How much silver does the village chief think it should be?” Wei Ruo inquired.

    “The land will cost one hundred taels of silver for a one-time purchase, and after that, one thousand wen will be given for the use of the mountain spring water every year.” Village Chief Wang said.

    Upon hearing this the villagers behind village head Wang revealed surprised expressions.

    A hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!

    And what this Little Lord Xu wanted to buy was merely that small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!

    That’s an overpriced price.

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    “Shut up, I’m the village head, you have to listen to me in these matters!” Village Chief Wang directly stopped the villagers from speaking.

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.

    “How much silver does the village chief think it should be?” Wei Ruo inquired.

    “The land will cost one hundred taels of silver for a one-time purchase, and after that, one thousand wen will be given for the use of the mountain spring water every year.” Village Chief Wang said.

    Upon hearing this the villagers behind village head Wang revealed surprised expressions.

    A hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!

    And what this Little Lord Xu wanted to buy was merely that small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!

    That’s an overpriced price.

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    Village Chief Wang, however, was very confident, “Young Duke Xu, I actually know that you’ve been searching for a suitable place in this neighborhood since the end of last year, and since you’ve taken a fancy to Daqing Mountain, I think that this Daqing Mountain has something very appealing to you.”

    Wei Ruo said, “Village Chief Wang, this part of Daqing Mountain as well as the mountain spring water really attracts me, but this price you’ve offered is just a bit too high.”

    Mayor Wang said, “Mr. Xu has a noble aura, and is certainly not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, “Thousands of dollars can’t buy your heart’s desire, so if you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”

    Wei Ruo had a smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village head knew that she had selected this place in the Great Green Mountain after a long period of inspection, so she had the backbone to sit on the ground and raise the price.

    Wei Ruo continued, “I can agree to increase the purchase price of the land from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and after that the annual fee for the use of the mountain spring water will still be two hundred and fifty wen.”

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    You still need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Dazhongshan Mountain to purchase this place.

    Not as simple as before, Wei Ruo’s negotiations this time ran into a little problem.

    The villagers of the village to which the fancy piece of mountain land belonged did agree to Wei Ruo buying the land and using their mountain spring, but the village headman did not agree.

    The village chief’s reason for not agreeing was that it would ruin the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo and the village people set up a time to have a detailed discussion at the village entrance.

    In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, a table of eight immortals was set up in the open air, and all the families in the village sent people over.

    Sitting at the end of the eight hundredths table is the village’s most prestigious mayor, in his fifties, with white hair, white beard, and a thin face.

    At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men’s clothing, and behind Wei Ruo followed Xiu Mei, who was also dressed in men’s clothing, as well as Steward Yu.

    Most of the people in this village were surnamed Wang, and only a few families came from behind with other surnames, but the power of speech was still in the hands of the Wang clan.

    “Da Qing Shan is our Wang Village’s feng shui mountain, if it is frequently entered and exited by you outsiders, and if you have to use our water source, it will have too great an impact on our village’s chi, and a mere twenty taels of silver will want to get rid of us, absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said righteously.

    A villager beside him persuaded, “Village Chief, twenty taels of silver is for the purchase of the land, and every year in the future, you will get two hundred and fifty Wen for the use of the mountain spring water!”

    Their village has a total of twenty-five families, twenty taels of silver according to the head of the household, divided into each family can have nearly one silver as much as, and then each year can be divided into ten Wen, which is not a small amount of money!

    That small piece of land on the mountain is not much use to their village, and that mountain spring is usually not used by their village, but is just one of the tributaries of their village’s stream, and it’s really quite a lot of money for each family to pay ten cents a year!

    “Da Qing Shan is our Wang Village’s feng shui mountain, if it is frequently entered and exited by you outsiders, and if you have to use our water source, it will have too great an impact on our village’s chi, and a mere twenty taels of silver will want to get rid of us, absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said righteously.

    A villager beside him persuaded, “Village Chief, twenty taels of silver is for the purchase of the land, and every year in the future, you will get two hundred and fifty Wen for the use of the mountain spring water!”

    Their village has a total of twenty-five families, twenty taels of silver according to the head of the household, divided into each family can have nearly one silver as much as, and then each year can be divided into ten Wen, which is not a small amount of money!

    That small piece of land on the mountain is not much use to their village, and that mountain spring is usually not used by their village, but is just one of the tributaries of their village’s stream, and it’s really quite a lot of money for each family to pay ten cents a year! Some people don’t earn much money even if they go out and work as laborers for a month!

    “Shut up, I’m the village head, you have to listen to me in these matters!” Village Chief Wang directly stopped the villagers from speaking.

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.

    “How much silver does the village chief think it should be?” Wei Ruo inquired.

    “The land will cost one hundred taels of silver for a one-time purchase, and after that, one thousand wen will be given for the use of the mountain spring water every year.” Village Chief Wang said.

    Upon hearing this the villagers behind village head Wang revealed surprised expressions.

    A hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!

    And what this Little Lord Xu wanted to buy was merely that small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!

    That’s an overpriced price.

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    Village Chief Wang, however, was very confident, “Young Duke Xu, I actually know that you’ve been searching for a suitable place in this neighborhood since the end of last year, and since you’ve taken a fancy to Daqing Mountain, I think that this Daqing Mountain has something very appealing to you.”

    Wei Ruo said, “Village Chief Wang, this part of Daqing Mountain as well as the mountain spring water really attracts me, but this price you’ve offered is just a bit too high.”

    Mayor Wang said, “Mr. Xu has a noble aura, and is certainly not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, “Thousands of dollars can’t buy your heart’s desire, so if you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”

    Wei Ruo had a smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village head knew that she had selected this place in the Great Green Mountain after a long period of inspection, so she had the backbone to sit on the ground and raise the price.

    Wei Ruo continued, “I can agree to increase the purchase price of the land from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and after that the annual fee for the use of the mountain spring water will still be two hundred and fifty wen.”

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    You still need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Dazhongshan Mountain to purchase this place.

    Not as simple as before, Wei Ruo’s negotiations this time ran into a little problem.

    The villagers of the village to which the fancy piece of mountain land belonged did agree to Wei Ruo buying the land and using their mountain spring, but the village headman did not agree.

    The village chief’s reason for not agreeing was that it would ruin the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo and the village people set up a time to have a detailed discussion at the village entrance.

    In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, a table of eight immortals was set up in the open air, and all the families in the village sent people over.

    Sitting at the end of the eight hundredths table is the village’s most prestigious mayor, in his fifties, with white hair, white beard, and a thin face.

    At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men’s clothing, and behind Wei Ruo followed Xiu Mei, who was also dressed in men’s clothing, as well as Steward Yu.

    Most of the people in this village were surnamed Wang, and only a few families came from behind with other surnames, but the power of speech was still in the hands of the Wang clan.

    Not as simple as before, Wei Ruo’s negotiations this time ran into a little problem.

    The villagers of the village to which the fancy piece of mountain land belonged did agree to Wei Ruo buying the land and using their mountain spring, but the village headman did not agree.

    The village chief’s reason for not agreeing was that it would ruin the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo and the village people set up a time to have a detailed discussion at the village entrance.

    In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, a table of eight immortals was set up in the open air, and all the families in the village sent people over.

    Sitting at the end of the eight hundredths table is the village’s most prestigious mayor, in his fifties, with white hair, white beard, and a thin face.

    At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men’s clothing, and behind Wei Ruo followed Xiu Mei, who was also dressed in men’s clothing, as well as Steward Yu.

    Most of the people in this village were surnamed Wang, and only a few families came from behind with other surnames, but the power of speech was still in the hands of the Wang clan.

    “Da Qing Shan is our Wang Village’s feng shui mountain, if it is frequently entered and exited by you outsiders, and if you have to use our water source, it will have too great an impact on our village’s chi, and a mere twenty taels of silver will want to get rid of us, absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said righteously.

    A villager beside him persuaded, “Village Chief, twenty taels of silver is for the purchase of the land, and every year in the future, you will get two hundred and fifty Wen for the use of the mountain spring water!”

    Their village has a total of twenty-five families, twenty taels of silver according to the head of the household, divided into each family can have nearly one silver as much as, and then each year can be divided into ten Wen, which is not a small amount of money!

    That small piece of land on the mountain is not much use to their village, and that mountain spring is usually not used by their village, but is just one of the tributaries of their village’s stream, and it’s really quite a lot of money for each family to pay ten cents a year! Some people don’t earn much money even if they go out and work as laborers for a month!

    “Shut up, I’m the village head, you have to listen to me in these matters!” Village Chief Wang directly stopped the villagers from speaking.

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.

    “How much silver does the village chief think it should be?” Wei Ruo inquired.

    “The land will cost one hundred taels of silver for a one-time purchase, and after that, one thousand wen will be given for the use of the mountain spring water every year.” Village Chief Wang said.

    Upon hearing this the villagers behind village head Wang revealed surprised expressions.

    A hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!

    And what this Little Lord Xu wanted to buy was merely that small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!

    That’s an overpriced price.

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    Village Chief Wang, however, was very confident, “Young Duke Xu, I actually know that you’ve been searching for a suitable place in this neighborhood since the end of last year, and since you’ve taken a fancy to Daqing Mountain, I think that this Daqing Mountain has something very appealing to you.”

    Wei Ruo said, “Village Chief Wang, this part of Daqing Mountain as well as the mountain spring water really attracts me, but this price you’ve offered is just a bit too high.”

    Mayor Wang said, “Mr. Xu has a noble aura, and is certainly not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, “Thousands of dollars can’t buy your heart’s desire, so if you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”

    Wei Ruo had a smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village head knew that she had selected this place in the Great Green Mountain after a long period of inspection, so she had the backbone to sit on the ground and raise the price.

    Wei Ruo continued, “I can agree to increase the purchase price of the land from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and after that the annual fee for the use of the mountain spring water will still be two hundred and fifty wen.”

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    Wei Ruo said, “Village Chief Wang, this part of Daqing Mountain as well as the mountain spring water really attracts me, but this price you’ve offered is just a bit too high.”

    Mayor Wang said, “Mr. Xu has a noble aura, and is certainly not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, “Thousands of dollars can’t buy your heart’s desire, so if you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”

    Wei Ruo had a smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village head knew that she had selected this place in the Great Green Mountain after a long period of inspection, so she had the backbone to sit on the ground and raise the price.

    Wei Ruo continued, “I can agree to increase the purchase price of the land from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and after that the annual fee for the use of the mountain spring water will still be two hundred and fifty wen.”

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    You still need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Dazhongshan Mountain to purchase this place.

    Not as simple as before, Wei Ruo’s negotiations this time ran into a little problem.

    The villagers of the village to which the fancy piece of mountain land belonged did agree to Wei Ruo buying the land and using their mountain spring, but the village headman did not agree.

    The village chief’s reason for not agreeing was that it would ruin the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo and the village people set up a time to have a detailed discussion at the village entrance.

    In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, a table of eight immortals was set up in the open air, and all the families in the village sent people over.

    Sitting at the end of the eight hundredths table is the village’s most prestigious mayor, in his fifties, with white hair, white beard, and a thin face.

    At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men’s clothing, and behind Wei Ruo followed Xiu Mei, who was also dressed in men’s clothing, as well as Steward Yu.

    Most of the people in this village were surnamed Wang, and only a few families came from behind with other surnames, but the power of speech was still in the hands of the Wang clan.

    “Da Qing Shan is our Wang Village’s feng shui mountain, if it is frequently entered and exited by you outsiders, and if you have to use our water source, it will have too great an impact on our village’s chi, and a mere twenty taels of silver will want to get rid of us, absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said righteously.

    A villager beside him persuaded, “Village Chief, twenty taels of silver is for the purchase of the land, and every year in the future, you will get two hundred and fifty Wen for the use of the mountain spring water!”

    Their village has a total of twenty-five families, twenty taels of silver according to the head of the household, divided into each family can have nearly one silver as much as, and then each year can be divided into ten Wen, which is not a small amount of money!

    That small piece of land on the mountain is not much use to their village, and that mountain spring is usually not used by their village, but is just one of the tributaries of their village’s stream, and it’s really quite a lot of money for each family to pay ten cents a year! Some people don’t earn much money even if they go out and work as laborers for a month!

    “Shut up, I’m the village head, you have to listen to me in these matters!” Village Chief Wang directly stopped the villagers from speaking.

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.

    “How much silver does the village chief think it should be?” Wei Ruo inquired.

    “The land will cost one hundred taels of silver for a one-time purchase, and after that, one thousand wen will be given for the use of the mountain spring water every year.” Village Chief Wang said.

    Upon hearing this the villagers behind village head Wang revealed surprised expressions.

    A hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!

    And what this Little Lord Xu wanted to buy was merely that small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!

    That’s an overpriced price.

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    Village Chief Wang, however, was very confident, “Young Duke Xu, I actually know that you’ve been searching for a suitable place in this neighborhood since the end of last year, and since you’ve taken a fancy to Daqing Mountain, I think that this Daqing Mountain has something very appealing to you.”

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.

    “How much silver does the village chief think it should be?” Wei Ruo inquired.

    “The land will cost one hundred taels of silver for a one-time purchase, and after that, one thousand wen will be given for the use of the mountain spring water every year.” Village Chief Wang said.

    Upon hearing this the villagers behind village head Wang revealed surprised expressions.

    A hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!

    And what this Little Lord Xu wanted to buy was merely that small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!

    That’s an overpriced price.

    Wei Ruo still had a smile on her face and didn’t answer right away.

    Village Chief Wang, however, was very confident, “Young Duke Xu, I actually know that you’ve been searching for a suitable place in this neighborhood since the end of last year, and since you’ve taken a fancy to Daqing Mountain, I think that this Daqing Mountain has something very appealing to you.”

    Wei Ruo said, “Village Chief Wang, this part of Daqing Mountain as well as the mountain spring water really attracts me, but this price you’ve offered is just a bit too high.”

    Mayor Wang said, “Mr. Xu has a noble aura, and is certainly not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, “Thousands of dollars can’t buy your heart’s desire, so if you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”

    Wei Ruo had a smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village head knew that she had selected this place in the Great Green Mountain after a long period of inspection, so she had the backbone to sit on the ground and raise the price.

    Wei Ruo continued, “I can agree to increase the purchase price of the land from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and after that the annual fee for the use of the mountain spring water will still be two hundred and fifty wen.”

    First of all, Wei Ruo had to negotiate the land on the valley of the Great Green Mountain that he had been looking at the other day, which was finally selected after Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei to look around.

    You still need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Dazhongshan Mountain to purchase this place.

    Not as simple as before, Wei Ruo’s negotiations this time ran into a little problem.

    The villagers of the village to which the fancy piece of mountain land belonged did agree to Wei Ruo buying the land and using their mountain spring, but the village headman did not agree.

    The village chief’s reason for not agreeing was that it would ruin the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo and the village people set up a time to have a detailed discussion at the village entrance.

    In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, a table of eight immortals was set up in the open air, and all the families in the village sent people over.

    Sitting at the end of the eight hundredths table is the village’s most prestigious mayor, in his fifties, with white hair, white beard, and a thin face.

    At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men’s clothing, and behind Wei Ruo followed Xiu Mei, who was also dressed in men’s clothing, as well as Steward Yu.

    Most of the people in this village were surnamed Wang, and only a few families came from behind with other surnames, but the power of speech was still in the hands of the Wang clan.

    “Da Qing Shan is our Wang Village’s feng shui mountain, if it is frequently entered and exited by you outsiders, and if you have to use our water source, it will have too great an impact on our village’s chi, and a mere twenty taels of silver will want to get rid of us, absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said righteously.

    A villager beside him persuaded, “Village Chief, twenty taels of silver is for the purchase of the land, and every year in the future, you will get two hundred and fifty Wen for the use of the mountain spring water!”

    Their village has a total of twenty-five families, twenty taels of silver according to the head of the household, divided into each family can have nearly one silver as much as, and then each year can be divided into ten Wen, which is not a small amount of money!

    That small piece of land on the mountain is not much use to their village, and that mountain spring is usually not used by their village, but is just one of the tributaries of their village’s stream, and it’s really quite a lot of money for each family to pay ten cents a year! Some people don’t earn much money even if they go out and work as laborers for a month!

    “Shut up, I’m the village head, you have to listen to me in these matters!” Village Chief Wang directly stopped the villagers from speaking.

    He just saw at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land with them had a lot of money and was not too old, so the price could definitely be negotiated down.
