V2.Chapter 62

Ten days have passed, and Yu Shaoqing's birthday is getting closer and closer, and the Yu family's construction site has also laid a foundation and built a brick wall. After being beaten by Yu Wan, there have been no disputes on the construction site. proceeded in an orderly manner.

Yu Wan personally takes care of the workshop every day, and she is busy but not chaotic. As for the wasteland reclamation in the back mountain, it was originally supervised by Shuanzi, but now it is Yu Shaoqing. When he fell back, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, Yu Shaoqing went up the mountain and beat him up, and the horse thieves immediately became honest.

On this day, Little Tie Dan and Jiang Shi rarely stayed in bed, and the family of four sat in the main room for breakfast.

Yu Shaoqing cooked sweet potato porridge, steamed cornmeal wowotou, steamed a bowl of egg custard for each of the sister and brother, and boiled a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea for the Jiang family.

Yu Wan looked at the sweet and greasy brown sugar water and thought to herself, it's no wonder that Auntie hasn't stayed in bed lately.

Well, she actually wants a sister.

"Awan, it's almost the end of the month." Yu Shaoqing glanced at the shoes under his feet and said with a deep meaning.

Yu Wan was busy eating egg custard and didn't notice her father's eyes, but her father seemed to have something to say—

Yu Wan remembered it, wiped her mouth and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, I remember!"

Isn't it just to give the antidote to those guys?

In fact, where is the antidote? They were all bluffing by Master Bao, and the one among them was not Seven Days Broken Heart Powder, but a short-term poison prepared with a small amount of Aconitum.

Of course, in order to make those guys obedient, Grandpa Bao still pretended to make a few bottles of pills.

Yu Wan nodded: "I will give it to Daddy at the end of the month."

Yu Shaoqing was so excited that he almost floated.

Seeing his father's happy appearance that he was about to dizzy, the little iron boy felt a pain in his stomach. Isn't it just a red dress? As for success!

I feel really sad for his grandmother.

A-Niang must not know that her man has such a weird habit.

So women, you must polish your eyes before marrying, because you never know how many sides the man you are marrying has.

Little Tie Dan sighed helplessly, and continued to bury his head in eating the egg custard.

After all, the egg custard made by this man is quite good.

"Father." After eating, Yu Wan and Yu Shaoqing talked about the hilltop, "Father, what do you think of that hilltop?"

Lianhua Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Yu Wan chose to open up wasteland on the eastern hill, while she usually picks wild amaranth and digs bamboo shoots on the southern hill.

Before joining the army, Yu Shaoqing also followed his family to grow land. To be honest, he didn't think the soil on the top of the mountain was very fertile. It looked good from the bottom, but the soil became more barren as he went up, but he couldn't pour cold water on his daughter. , then said: "What is Awan planning to plant after reclaiming the wasteland?"

"Fruit trees, grapes, and tea can be grown. It's better to open a medicinal field." Yu Wan said longingly.

Don't you think that the soil is very poor... Yu Shaoqing took a deep breath, he is a good father who loves his daughter.

"Dad, are you okay?" Yu Wan asked with a smile on her face.

Yu Shaoqing said: "...Okay, it's good."

Anyway, it's not my own land. By then, the blind date will share a point, and there will be not much left. Besides, in the absence of fields, it is better to have a barren hill and all kinds of things.

Yu Wan hit the railway while it was hot: "Since Daddy said so, let's buy that mountain!"

Yu Shaoqing almost choked.

What does the daughter say?

Buy a hill? That broken mountain?

Yu Shaoqing cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Do you have to discuss such a big matter with your uncle first?"

Yu Wan said, "I have already asked the uncle, and the uncle said he listened to Dad!"

Big brother has been an old farmer for half his life, can't he see that the mountain can be improved for at least three or five years before it can grow crops? Throwing such a big pot to him is to expect him to be a villain in front of Awan...

Big brother is so heartfelt!

Yu Shaoqing squeezed his fist: "Awan, that piece of land..."

"Well, Dad said."

"...Buy it!" Yu Shaoqing smiled.

"What? You want to buy a mountain?" Li Zheng's house, Li Zheng heard Yu Wan's words, and almost didn't drop his jaw.

Yu Wan nodded earnestly: "Well, you heard right, I want to buy a mountain."

"Just... the mountain where we opened up wasteland?" Li Zheng glanced strangely at Yu Shaoqing and his uncle who had come with Yu Wan and was standing behind Yu Wan, "Your family agrees?"

The faces of the two were indescribable.

Yu Wan frowned and said, "My uncle and my daddy both agree!"

The two covered their eyes.

Li Zheng retracted his eyes in fright and looked awkwardly at Yu Wan in front of him. It's not like this is the way to spoil a girl. The soil of that mountain is so bad, are you blind?

There are many hills around Lianhua Village, but this one is the only one that meets the conditions for wasteland reclamation.

Of course, they have only opened up the wasteland to the side close to the village, and the other side has not moved. I wonder if the soil quality will be better.

"You bought the mountain, where do the villagers farm?" Li Zheng asked.

"Just plant it on the mountain." Yu Wan said.

Li Zheng was stunned: "Isn't that a tenant farmer?"

The villagers of Lianhua Village are all self-employed farmers. Although they have to bear the responsibilities of extortionate taxes and military service, they own the land themselves, unlike tenant farmers, who work for others.

Yu Wan cupped her cheeks and said, "However, the yamen didn't say that they would give the land on the mountain to the villagers. They only said how many acres they lost, so they set aside as many acres on the mountain. One cent can't be more, one can't be less."

This is also true. After all, what is really recorded in their names are those fertile fields that were destroyed in the earthquake. They only have the right to use the barren mountains, not ownership, so it really doesn't matter who is in the hands of the barren mountains.

"That land rent..." Li Zheng hesitated.

Yu Wan said: "It won't be higher than the yamen, you can rest assured."

Speaking of which, Li Zheng has nothing to disagree with. No matter how he wants to make money, it's all the villagers, and it's Awan who loses.

"Ugh."

This poor little lady.

Li was getting on the ox cart to go to the yamen to go through the formalities, and Yu Shaoqing and the uncle returned to the house in pain.

The uncle took out the recipe, and Yu Shaoqing picked up the hoe.

Little Tie Dan asked suspiciously, "Uncle, Dad, what are you going to do?"

The two said in unison: "Make money!"

...

Li Zheng moved very quickly, and he came back from the yamen after an hour. He couldn't take a breath and went to Yu Wan's house non-stop: "Awan, I found out, that mountain... can be sold!"

Yu Wan poured him a bowl of herbal tea: "How much money?"

Li Zheng picked up the tea bowl with one hand and made a gesture with the other.

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows: "Fifty taels?"

Li Zheng choked on his throat with a sip of tea: "Why do you think so well of the government office? Five hundred taels! Not a single penny!"

"This is too expensive!" It wasn't the first day Yu Wan came to Lianhua Village. She had already inquired about the land prices in eight townships. There were at most one hundred taels in such barren mountains.

"Why don't you buy it." Li Zheng also felt that it was expensive.

"I want to buy it." Yu Wan said.

Li Zheng wondered, "Why do you have to buy a mountain?"

"I just want to buy it." Yu Wan said.

"You..." Li Zheng gasped, "You're burning too much money!"

A barren mountain has the value of a barren mountain. According to Yu Wan's original budget, as long as the price does not exceed one hundred taels, she will not lose money, but now it exceeds four hundred taels. To be honest, the risk and reward are somewhat disproportionate, but for some reason, Yu Wan still had an impulse to buy it.

Do I really want to be a landlady?

Yu Wan let out a breath, and said to Li Zheng, "I'll find a way about the money. I'll ask you to help me move around in the yamen."

"Hey girl, why don't you listen..." Li Zheng complained.

Yu Wan took her baggage and went to Zuixianju.

The news of Zuixianju cooking for the palace was widely publicized by Qin Ye, and now the door is full of people, and the business is so good.

Master Qin had just sent off a table of distinguished guests in person, when he raised his head and saw Yu Wan jumping off a carriage, his eyes lit up, and he greeted him and said, "Aiya, what wind is blowing our second master? ?"

Yu Wan said: "You are a Jiang Zuo person, don't talk about the child's pronunciation, it sounds awkward."

Master Qin pouted.

Yu Wan went into the lobby with the burden, and both the second and the guests doubled compared to the last time, which shows that the business is really good.

Thinking of something, Yu Wan said: "I just passed by Tianxianglou, and its business is much quieter than before."

Master Qin patted his chest and said, "Isn't that right? All the guests have come to our place! After eating our food, I can't look down on theirs anymore!"

This is only half right. The taste of Zuixianju is good, and Tianxianglou is not bad. The reason for the current situation is that Zuixianju has launched dishes that are not available in the whole capital, and the reputation of Tianxianglou is too great. Worse.

However, even so, Tianxianglou has no plans to curb the trend. Their new eighth restaurant closed and reopened. Not only that, but Chengbei is planning to open a ninth restaurant.

Yu Wan really couldn't understand Xu Shao's mind.

Master Qin led Yu Wan to the second floor, pushed open an exquisite wooden door and said, "This is the account room specially prepared for you."

"I still have an accountant?" Yu Wan was surprised.

Qin Ye smiled: "Of course! You are the owner of our Zuixianju! How can you not even have your own accountant!"

You're flattering again, aren't you? Obviously, she went to the palace and found out that there is more value in her.

Yu Wan glanced at him.

Qin Ye was defeated: "Well, the best chef in the world bestowed by the royal family can't be neglected."

Yu Wan is very satisfied with the house, it is spacious and bright, without overly complicated decoration, elegant and clean, and everything is just right.

"That's how you came? Where's my bamboo shoots?" Qin Ye looked up and down behind Yu Wan.

Yu Wan put the burden on the table: "The bamboo shoots will be ready by the end of the month. I came to you today to show you something."

"What?" Qin Ye raised his eyebrows.

Yu Wan opened the bag and handed him a scroll.

Master Qin vaguely felt that this scroll was familiar, so he took it in his hand strangely, untied the ribbon, opened it, and was instantly dumbfounded: "'The No. 1 Chef in the World'? Isn't this your Majesty's calligraphy treasure?"

"Do you want it?" Yu Wan asked.

Think, of course! Dream about it! This is the emperor's calligraphy treasure. If you take it back, it will make hundreds of officials pay homage to it, okay?

Master Qin swallowed his saliva and resisted the urge to put the scroll in his pocket: "This, this can't be given away..."

Yu Wan said, "Who said it's going to be delivered? It's selling, selling it to you."

Master Qin: "???"

If it can't be delivered, can it be sold... Master Qin really wants to dig out the head of this girl to see how long it is.

Master Qin said solemnly: "Let Your Majesty know, I'm afraid it's not good..."

Yu Wan: "Five hundred taels."

Master Qin: "Deal!"

A quarter of an hour later, Yu Wan left Zuixianju with five silver bills with white flowers.

In fact, based on her relationship with Master Qin, she can borrow 500 taels without selling the emperor's calligraphy, but for one thing, she doesn't like to owe people money, and secondly, can the emperor's calligraphy be eaten or drunk? They are all rude, and the children are naughty. If they accidentally break it, they will be charged with great disrespect. It is better to sell it, out of sight and out of mind.

Yu Wan got into the hired carriage.

The driver said, "Miss Yu, are we going back to the village?"

Yu Wan often rents carriages from this car dealership and is familiar with the driver.

Yu Wan thought for a while and said, "Don't go back to the village, go to Xiao's house."

We're all in Beijing, why don't we go and see the three children? It's just that I was in a hurry today and didn't bring snacks from my uncle. Yu Wan asked the driver to park the carriage in front of a dim sum shop and asked for a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, a box of cloud cakes, and three strings of candied haws.

"How much?" Yu Wan asked.

"Sixty-four articles." The lady boss said.

Things in the city are expensive, Yu Wan took out her purse and was about to take the money, but suddenly a beggar came and snatched Yu Wan's purse!

Yu Wan's eyes froze, grabbing money and grabbing her head, it really sucks!

"Keep it for me, I'll be back soon." After Yu Wan explained, she quickly chased after the little beggar.

...

In a quiet alley, Zhao Heng hurriedly walked with a few bags of newly caught medicine. After sneaking out of Lotus Village, he cut off all ties with the past and moved into an old house in the capital.

Although this house is dilapidated, it is not far from where he is currently studying, which is very convenient for him to take care of Zhao.

It was early after school today. He went to the pharmacy to grab some medicine, and was rushing back to cook it for the Zhao family, but two tall men suddenly approached him and blocked his way.

He goes to the left and they go to the left.

He went to the right and they went to the right.

It's staring at him.

Zhao Heng is just a weak scholar with no strength to hold a chicken. He can't beat him. He suppressed the fear that surged in his heart and asked the two of them, "Dare to ask the strong man, is there something wrong?"

One of the strong men said, "My master wants to see you."

Zhao Heng wondered: "Your master is..."

The two of them didn't answer, they put a sack over his head and took him away.

When the sack was taken away, Zhao Heng had already been pinned down on a chair. In front of him was a landscape screen. On both sides of the screen stood two strong men who had just caught him.

Zhao Heng was so frightened by this posture that his legs went weak.

Behind the screen, Xu Shao's confidant said without anger, "Are you Zhao Heng?"

Zhao Heng's heart skipped a beat: "...Yes, I'm Zhao Heng, dare to ask your Excellency..."

"You don't need to know who I am. I invited you here today because I have a few questions to ask you. Just answer me honestly, and I promise not to embarrass you."

"Why are you asking?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Bring him the portrait."

A strong man walked behind the screen, took a portrait from Xu Shao's confidant and unfolded it in front of Zhao Heng.

This is a portrait of a woman. The woman in the painting is plainly dressed, with an ugly face, large red spots on her face, and a pregnant belly that is about to give birth.

Zhao Heng felt nauseated after only one glance.

Such an ugly woman, how can a man have a mouth?

"Do you recognize him?" Xu Shao's confidant asked.

Zhao Heng thought to himself, how could I know such an ugly woman? He just never saw it!

"No, I don't know." Zhao Heng said.

"Don't lie, I have more ways to tell you the truth." After Xu Shao's confidant said, the two strong men immediately pulled out the daggers from their waists.

Zhao Heng shivered with fright, and said in a panic, "I'm telling the truth! I've never seen the person in the portrait!"

"Look carefully again!" Xu Shao's confidant said.

This kind of ugly woman made Zhao Heng nauseous at first glance. He resisted the tumbling in his stomach and looked at it carefully. This time, he really saw something. Those eyes, to be exact It was that innocent look that made him feel a little familiar, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Zhao Heng shook his head: "I didn't lie to you, I really haven't seen this person."

Xu Shao's confidant frowned, did he make a mistake this time? Near the capital, Zhao Heng, a scholar named Zhao Heng, they have already arrested two, one is in his thirties, his children are fifteen or sixteen, and the other is only eighteen, but he has never made a marriage contract with any woman.

Wait, a marriage contract?

A flash of light flashed in the mind of the confidant, and he said calmly, "Have you ever had a marriage contract with someone?"

Zhao Heng was startled, he didn't understand what the other party asked this for, but he answered honestly: "It's fixed, but it was withdrawn."

"Why quit?"

Zhao Heng bit his head and said, "She doesn't follow women's ways and seduces men."

"How old is she?"

Why do you keep asking about that woman?

Zhao Heng suppressed his impatience and replied, "Seventeen, I will be eighteen this year."

Age is right!

Xu Shao's confidant asked the woman's information carefully, and found that she had disappeared three years ago, and then returned to the village with a sum of money, silver? Isn't that just a windfall from selling the jade pendant of Yan Jiu Dynasty?

Xu Shao's confidant excitedly asked for a pen and paper, and ordered Zhao Heng to draw the other party's face.

Zhao Hengshu read well and painted well, and he quickly painted Yu Wan's appearance, but when he was putting the finishing touches on Yu Wan, his writing stopped.

"Why don't you paint anymore?" Xu Shao's confidant asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Heng's eyes flashed, and cold sweat broke out: "Hands are numb... I'll be fine soon."

Zhao Heng glanced at the innocent-looking woman in the portrait, lowered his eyes, and drew a pair of cold eyes.

The other party's words mattered, and he really didn't embarrass him. After the portrait was in hand, he asked the strong man to put a sack on him again and take him away.

As soon as he went out, he faintly heard the voice of the conversation behind him.

"You look at this look, it doesn't look alike at all, is it the same person?"

Zhao Heng was thrown back to the original alley. The medicine bag he dropped on the ground had been trampled by passers-by, so he could only go to get another medicine for Zhao.

He stood up in embarrassment and walked towards the pharmacy, but suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Speak! Can't grab it!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Zhao Heng followed the sound, and in a dirty little alley on the side, he saw Yu Wan who was wielding a stick and beat seven or eight little thieves to pieces.

Unfamiliarity surged in Zhao Heng's heart. This was not the Awan he remembered, but the one in the portrait. Even if she had changed her appearance, those eyes...they had shown shyness and embarrassment in front of him countless times. Innocent eyes, lingering in his mind.

Yu Wan had enough of her lesson, she took back her purse and snatched what was on them.

The little thieves shivered and cried.

Yu Wan was still in a hurry to see the three little milk packs, and was too lazy to bother with them: "Get out of here!"

The little thieves rolled away in panic!

Yu Wan weighed the purse in her hand, and counting the 12 taels she had stolen, she had 512 taels on her body.

"Who are you?"

A man's voice came from behind, Yu Wan turned around and looked: "Zhao Heng?"

Zhao Heng murmured: "You are not Awan, who are you? What have you done to Awan?"

Yu Wan said coldly: "You are crazy! Open your eyes and see clearly, I am Yu Wan!"

"You look like her, but..." Zhao Heng looked into Yu Wan's eyes firmly, "You are not her, she would never look at me like this."

Yu Wan said without changing her face: "After you gave up my marriage and forced me to commit suicide by jumping into the river, what kind of eyes do you expect me to look at you with? Admiration? The love is not over? Continue to give up on you?"

Zhao Heng's eyes fell on her flat belly, and he said with difficulty: "Awan is innocent, I wronged her...Awan didn't enter the kiln... It was you who entered the kiln, and the one who had an affair with Renzhu. you……"

Yu Wan slapped her with a big ear: "I was wronged that I didn't enter the kiln enough, and I was wronged to have a child! Zhao Heng! You are a man!"

Zhao Heng was beaten to the ground, he turned his face and looked at Yu Wan coldly: "You said that I wronged you, that's good, do you dare to go for a medical examination with me!"
