Chapter 131 Huanhuan, You Are So Beautiful
I was so happy to see Xu Qingzhao smiling at me with an intoxicated look on his face that I got goosebumps all over my body.
He crossed his arms and pretended to tremble, then said in disgust, "Don't look at me like that, I'm scared."
"Huanhuan, if I marry into your family, would you agree?" Xu Qingzhao was so absorbed in his thoughts that he blurted out his inner thoughts.
Zhao Huanxi: "What? Marrying into my family? You're marrying into my family?"
Hearing Huanxi's question, Xu Qingzhao quickly covered his mouth and said innocently:
"I meant to marry Shuofeng into your family. You misheard."
"You think I'm deaf, don't you? I clearly heard it. You want to marry into the family..."
"It's too late. I'm going to rest. See you tomorrow morning..." Before Huanxi could finish her words, Xu Qingzhao disappeared.
"You know what, marrying into the wife's family is not impossible..." Seeing the man walk away, Huanxi raised the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself.
The next morning, Huanxi had a good sleep after a long time, stretched himself and came out of his room to wash up.
Seeing her come out, Liu quickly went up to her, took her hand and asked:
"Why are there so many unfamiliar faces in your house? Miss Yu Yan said these are the people you bought?"
Huanxi nodded and said, "Yes, I'm very busy every day, and I don't want to waste your time every day. The autumn harvest will be in a few days, and I won't have time to come and help me every day then."
"Oh, I was so scared. I thought it was something else. Those girls all look honest, but they are a little unfamiliar with the place. I'll stay here to help you for a few more days before I go back. It just so happens that I don't have anything to do at home during this period." Mrs. Liu patted her chest, looking scared.
Huanxi didn't know what she was imagining, but she knew her second sister-in-law's personality was good-natured. She stepped forward, took her hand, and said, "Second sister-in-law, I need to buy some land and build a house soon... Guess who will be the supervisor?"
Hearing there was more work to do, Liu quickly laughed and said, "Ah, you want to renovate the house again? My dear sister, you have made a fortune, buying people and land. I even want to marry into your family."
Zhao Huanxi was embarrassed... Why is he marrying into the family again... This joke is unbearable...
"I dug up some valuable ginseng in the mountains and exchanged it for some silver. Otherwise, where would I get the silver? When I start doing business later, I will definitely have to take you with me. Don't worry, sister-in-law."
"That's good, that's good. But now that you have money and free time, when will you consider your life's major events? I'm comparing you to my own sister before saying this. Let me tell you... that kid from the Xu family is not bad, and you two would get along well. How about I go and act as a matchmaker for you?"
Liu's face was full of gossip. When Zhao Huanxi heard that she wanted to be a matchmaker for him, his face turned red and he quickly ran to the bathroom and washed his face to sober himself up.
After coming out, Yuanzhen took a handkerchief and wiped Huanxi's face. She also picked up a comb to style Huanxi's hair.
"Madam, let me try. I'm very good at cooking."
Before Huanxi could get over the feeling of being served, Yuanzhen had already started combing her hair.
"Then try it. Don't make it too complicated. It's hard for me to remove it at night."
Yuan Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll help you take it off tonight."
At this time, the sound of little girls laughing came from the door. Xiao Pan pulled her sisters in and bowed to Huanxi with a smile.
"Wow, you all look so pretty today. Who did this?"
Look at the maids today, they all have beautiful double buns, and wear silk flowers in their hair. They are wearing clothes of similar colors, and they really look like the little lucky dolls in the paintings.
"Mom, Aunt Yuanzhen made it for us." Xiao Nian hugged Huanxi's calves and acted coquettishly.
Huanxi touched her little face and found that the little girl had gained some weight.
"Mom, we have learned a lot recently. Even the teacher praised us." Xiao Yin's tone was full of pride.
"So awesome? Then mom will cook a delicious meal tonight to reward you. I'll give you some encouragement." Huanxi also said happily. Anyway, the emotional value was full.
"Hehe, thank you, mother."
"Madam, it's done, can you take a look?" Yuan Zhen's voice came from above her head. Huanxi took a bronze mirror to look at herself.
Yuan Zhen's craftsmanship was quite good. She tied her hair into a beautiful single bun and inserted the silver hairpin given by Xu Qingzhao into it, making it look elegant and unique.
How did she do that, without a hair tie or hairspray? She turned her head twice, and surprisingly, her hair didn't fall apart at all.
"Yuanzhen, your cooking skills are really good."
"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am."
"Okay, you can go down. Wait, when will the clothes be made from the cloth we distributed yesterday?"
Yuan Zhen nodded and replied, "Madam, I'm a fast cook and I think it will be ready tomorrow."
"What about the others?"
"Yuan Zhen doesn't know..."
"Okay, go down now."
"Yes."
The weather has been hot these days, and everyone at home has to take a bath frequently. However, it is unhygienic if too many people use the bathtub, so we might as well build another bathhouse in the back and find someone to dig a well.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt like going out for breakfast, and then Xu Qingzhao came back from outside.
"Huanhuan, I was just about to call you. The village chief will be here soon to survey the land. Wow, you look so beautiful today."
Looking closely, Huanxi was wearing the hairpin she had given her, and her heart was instantly filled with joy.
"Of course. Don't you see who I am?" he said with a proud look on his face.
"Yes, yes, Huanhuan is the most beautiful."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. When will the village chief come?"
"It's almost time, let's go first."
"Wait a minute, I'll ask them to prepare some food for the table."
So he turned and walked into the inner courtyard, called Chunliu and the other two to follow Liu to prepare a few more dishes, as he would treat the village chief to a meal later.
Then the two of them went to the bamboo forest to discuss where to start buying. Not long after, the village chief arrived.
"Uncle Village Chief, you are here. Thank you for your help today."
"It's okay, which one do you want to buy?"
The village chief followed the happy footsteps, calculating bit by bit with the land book in his hand. When he had gone through all the things he wanted to buy, the village chief already had a rough idea in his mind.
"Zhao girl, you probably have more than ten acres of land. What kind of work do you want to do with so much land?"
"Hey, I'm planning to build a farm and grow some other things. I'm sure I'll need your help when the time comes."
The village chief nodded and smiled, "Of course, I would have taken care of it even if you didn't say it."
Xu Qingzhao approached the village chief and whispered a few words. The village chief's eyes lit up and he said to Huanxi:
"Zhao girl, do you really want to buy the land from Lu Fa's family?"
Huanxi smiled and said, "How did you sell the land, uncle?"
"Fifteen taels of silver per mu, although it's a bit expensive, you won't lose anything. If this were in the capital, it would be considered the best land in the imperial farm. Moreover, the strong wind in the village a while ago destroyed so much grain, but that piece of land is completely intact. I guarantee that after you buy it, anything you throw on it will grow well next year."
"Then village chief, please help me calculate how much silver there is here, and then calculate the land."
"Okay, let me do the math. This is seven mu of He land, three mu of Li land, and four mu of Di land. That comes to thirty-two taels of silver, and I won't charge you any taxes."
After discussing it with Xu Qingzhao, Huanxi agreed. Since it was a joint venture between the two of them, Huanxi wanted to have their names on the deed for half, but Xu Qingzhao waved his hand and had Huanxi's name written on the deed, which touched her a little.
