That little fly

After meeting Shi Ke, their goal of coming to the imperial capital was roughly accomplished.In a blink of an eye, Shi Ke obtained a land deed of 120 mu with springs, which shows that he had settled in his early years.Then rumors of hot springs came from Pipa Mountain, which was good news for the bank.

In the imperial capital, there are so many dignitaries, rich families, and rich people. As soon as they heard that there was a hot spring protruding from Pipa Mountain, many people flocked up with their money. Originally, an acre of barren hills was only worth two taels of silver, and the land price was rolling upwards. After the average price per mu rose to 22 taels, the Qianzhuang transferred two excellent hilltops to Taifu at a medium land price of 70 cents per mu - the official family wanted to build the Winter Palace!As soon as this news spread, the land price jumped three levels to 90 taels, 130 taels, and even [-] taels per mu.In this way, there is a price but no market, and it has been useless for three months from the beginning to the end. All the land has been almost divided up, even if it is a wasteland without springs.Lihao Qianzhuang and some shareholders behind it can be said to be empty-handed white wolves who have made a lot of money.

While everyone is swarming to grab the land of Pipa Mountain, the owner of the water village is also setting up their new home.Even if they plan to live in the imperial capital permanently, the owner and wife of Shui Zhuang will not live in the third small courtyard, which is not in line with the status of local tyrants.A mansion in the city, a hot spring courtyard in winter, and a summer resort in summer, all of which are indispensable.

Lihaoqianzhuang is still a ready-made super real estate agency.

Nowadays, no matter whether a businessman has working capital, a squire borrows money to buy land, or a prodigal son borrows money to make a living, the best collateral for lending real money is land and real estate. .

"I hope that the environment around Zhuangzi is better. Green mountains and green waters are the most basic. There is no need to have large farmland and farmers..."

"Don't be too close to the town, there are too many people."

"The Zhuangzi listed in Uncle Jingzhong's mansion... is vulgar." Three generations of descendants have declined to live on mortgages, with limited advantages.

"The feng shui here is not good." The mountain behind is exposed, with evil spirit.

"The garden is too small..."

"Too many houses..."

"No stagnant ponds."

……

Those who are rich are all uncles, and the owner of the Water Village and his wife are still the top customers, and they have read almost all the listings that Lihao Qianzhuang can contact.The house in the city was the first to be finalized, and it was quite standard and nothing new.On the contrary, the originally planned summer resort gave them the biggest surprise, and even the owner of the water village didn't mind putting the main house there.

The carriage left the imperial capital and walked southeast for five days, and soon arrived at Yunding Mansion. There was a town on the outskirts of a courtyard built in the mountains. The first time he saw Shui Qingqian, he didn't want to leave.

"I like this, Mom." Shui Qingqian jumped excitedly standing on the boulder washed by water all the year round, pointing to a silver bead and jade belt in a large lush forest, which is a natural waterfall with a height of three feet.

The location of this house is called Sansanlipu, so named because it is more than 30 miles away from the nearest county seat. The mountain is called Tiger Mountain. It is not sure whether there are tigers, but there are indeed bear traces. The hunting and scenery are good.Zhuangzi occupies an area of ​​nearly [-] mu of forest, with almost no arable land. Zhuangzi is also built in the mountains instead of at the foot of the mountains. It sounds like the layout is unreasonable to the point of exaggeration.

But after a closer look, it turns out that this Zhuangzi has the most beautiful landscape layout in the mountains, and the environment is elegant, it is simply a good place to hide from the world.Far away from the busy city but not too remote, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is excellent, even if you don’t buy it, it’s okay to take a look along the way.In the end, it was like love at first sight, Shui Qingqian fell in love at first sight, and Mrs. Shui was no exception, and the desire to look at the latter two alternatives even faded.

This Zhuangzi covers an area of ​​[-] mu, but the real pavilions and pavilions add up to less than one-twentieth, and the rest are all blended with the natural mountain scenery of Hushan.Others build gardens, set up strange stones, dig ponds in the house... They insist on forging a natural scenery in a house, relying on the craftsmen's meticulous carving, the more natural the carving, the more brilliant it is.But this manor named 'Mountain Bell Show' is completely opposite. It is more like scattered houses in a natural scenery.

In the more than 400 mu of mountain forest, a natural waterfall is included, so there is Liuyinxuan next to the waterfall; there is a natural maple forest on the mountainside, so there is Shuangqiuzhai in the forest; the mountain stream accumulates water at the foot of the mountain to form There is a pool of lake water, and above the lake is a wonderful summer resort called Duckweed Xiaozhu.The front yard, which is often used to receive guests, utilizes a gentle slope grassland at the foot of the mountain; the backyard used for living is hidden in a quiet forest.As for the most common Four Seasons Splendid Back Garden, it just doesn’t exist here.The peony tree can grow wherever it likes, and the plum trees are sporadic, not suitable for the climate. In front of the kitchen, there is a piece of camellia that is growing well, and it is red when it blooms, but there is not a star and a half in the water of the blue lake that should be the most beautiful. This is the most common lotus bud...but everything here is so natural, peaceful, and full of aura.

There are three or two plum trees scattered in the study courtyard, and the lush peony trees just shade the stone tables and chairs in the Xinyuan. There are no lotus flowers or koi in the lake, only a group of grass carp and small shrimps that are not worth mentioning under the water. , but outside the window of Duckweed Xiaozhu, there are several wild red-crowned cranes combing their feathers leisurely by the lake, which is as beautiful as a paradise.

Even the owner of Shui Village has to admit that the house is built so that people feel comfortable at first glance.A Zhuangzi built in the mountains, with such an ingenious design and a large area, it is understandable that it is more expensive.Zhuangzi usually costs 20 to 50 guan, and in the early [-] guan, a fairy mansion in Jinmen Yuhu can be built. This "Shan Zhongxiu" is [-] guan at the first opening. If you dare to ask for a price, why don't you grab it?

This amount of money is enough to buy a house and land next to the Royal Courtyard. Who would throw a lot of money in such a penniless country place?Therefore, although this 'Mountain Bell Show' is a brand-new house, and it can make people who have seen it feel very comfortable, but when they heard the price, they all twitched, and no one's money was blown by the wind.

"This is a real garden of nature, ma'am." The headquarters of Lihao Bank sent a second steward to serve the owner of Shuizhuang and his party. "Moreover, we are good at the bank and can guarantee that the materials used by Zhuangzi are absolutely solid. If you should use wood that is six cents thick, you will never use five cents. Look at the workmanship. At the beginning, all the master craftsmen were hired, absolutely The best of the best, brand new...”

The manager of Yinzhuang is still talking about it, but Mrs. Shui has already made a decision.For other rich families, the houses here are scarce, and it may seem small, but theirs is just right.

"... Madam, you have a good eye. This house is really a natural one. It is the only one in the whole world. You are the highest-ranking guest of our bank, so I dare not lie to you..."

Mrs. Shui said bluntly, "I think we can sign the contract."

"Ah?" The second manager was taken aback, 50 yuan, just decided so casually?Local tyrants are indeed local tyrants.

"I like it here, and my son likes it, that's enough." Mrs. Shui said with a smile when she saw Wei Wu jumping ashore from the stream, throwing Luzi all over the water.

The water owner doesn't care.Well, he thinks this place is also good, he can go to Pipa Mountain in three days, and the imperial capital in five days.

Shui Qingqian stood by the stream, wiped the water off his face in embarrassment, and pinched his waist to teach the culprit, "You dare to jump into the lake to fish if you can't swim? If you want to eat, you will die. If you are not mighty, you will lose your life Yes, do you know it’s wrong, huh?”

The soaked Yuanbao: "Ah Chirp—"

Two days later, when he returned to the imperial capital, the owner of Shui Village had a signed house deed and land deed. He kissed his wife, "Honey, you have a good eye."

The couple didn't feel distressed about buying Zhuangzi for 50 yuan at the beginning, they just suspected that they were being bullied.But I just like it, and the seller doesn't let go, so he has to admit it.But after writing the bills, they were told that "Mountain Bell Show" was the handwriting of Fengshui Tianshi Yuzhenzi. Master Yuzhenzi hoped to find a good home for his hard work. Only those who really love it will be willing to be slaughtered. Therefore, before the transaction is concluded, Lihao Qianzhuang cannot disclose a word.

So, I made a profit this time, and I really made a lot of money.

Metaphysics of numerology, feng shui is prosperous, there is no such knowledge in Fei Tian'er's inheritance, but Dongzhou people believe in this very much.And it has been verified countless times that this thing is really only credible if it exists or not.At least in the so-called feng shui treasure lands, droughts and floods, wind disasters and earthquakes rarely happen, and you have to admit that feng shui is mysterious.Therefore, if 'Shan Zhongxiu' is publicized as Yuzhenzi's Tiangongge Qi-gathering layout, let alone 50 guan, if it doubles, there will be nouveau riche grabbing their heads.

The other courtyard is set up, and the servants who take care of the other courtyard are also newly purchased Kunlun slaves. They can't speak Dongzhou dialect well, and they are very slavish. Once they are put there, they are not afraid of them sneaking away.This part of the people didn't let them have any contact with the people of Water Yin Manor, so the next step is to tear their family away from Water Yin Manor step by step, and then turn around and become long-term residents of the imperial capital.

But as the old saying goes, plans don't change fast.The owner of the Water Villa and his wife planned the timetable for moving next year, and then he received news from his father: his father's record file in the Lusong Academy when he first entered the imperial capital was taken away the day before yesterday.

This is a very clear signal.

According to Fei Tian'er's ability, the layout of concealing his identity would not be flawless, at least it would not be full of loopholes.Shi Ke has been an official for [-] years, and his knowledge, ability, and skills are outstanding. Do you really think that everyone believes his rhetoric that "heavenly evil is the only star, and the whole family is dead"?It's just that the old fox has made his identity so tight that people can't catch the fox's tail.And Master Shuizhuang's public identity as a small landlord can even be traced back three generations. He is an absolutely clean and good citizen, and no one can find fault with him.

If the father and son were treated in isolation, there would be no problem.But when the two of them met, they not only just met, but they also met with their family members under the watchful eyes of the Jinwu Guards.Mrs. Shui is beautiful and virtuous, Yuxue with clear and shallow water is lovely, and the owner of Shui Zhuang has a magnanimity and appearance that is one of a kind. He is not the face of a passer-by at all, and he has formed a group to show his presence in front of the Jinwu Guards again and again. Well, even if you don't meet a group of Jinwu Guards, the circle of friends of the Jin Wu Guards is also the Jin Wu Guards, and no one will know which one can be friends with which one.In free time, a group of old men yelled at three or five friends to eat, drink, hunt, gossip and chat. Do you know which sentence will step on a landmine?It’s fine that no one mentions the Shui Zhuangzhu’s family, which is frequently used in groups, but if someone asks a gossip, this group of Jin Wuwei, who are also bodyguards and spies, will shine brightly.

That's right, it was talking about the two Jinwu guards who were used as gunmen by the owner of the water village in Lushui County back then.

This world is so small, these two groups of Jinwu guards were not familiar with each other at first, but coincidentally, their mutual friends celebrated their birthdays and drank wine in Baihualou, so they knew each other.Drink up, Jin Wuwei can't get rid of the eternal topic: meritorious service and promotion, money and beautiful women.

It was a secret that Wang Dajiang and Zhang Zhun were ordered to contact Mr. Renshu at the beginning, but time passed and Mr. Renshu did not show up in the end. A letter told them that the crisis was resolved and they were disbanded on the spot. This secret became gossip.After drinking, Wang Dajiang and Zhang Zhun patted their thighs and lamented that they could not connect with Mr. Renshu, otherwise, they would be the guards of Lord Hou now, right?Losing the opportunity for promotion made everyone feel sorry for the two of them, but changing the subject, the trip to Lushui County was not a waste of time, not to mention eating and living for nothing, have you ever seen a real celestial beauty?Don't talk about the top card of the brothel, she is definitely a rich and noble girl, beautiful, gentle, virtuous, dignified... Anyway, she looks more stylish than all the official wives in the imperial capital, alas, to marry such a woman as a wife, I really don't know how many lifetimes of high incense I have to burn...

Feeling drunk, Xiao Chu curled his mouth when he heard this, laughing at him as a frog in a well.What kind of golden phoenix can be produced in the backcountry of Lushui County?Let me tell you, that day when I went to Lanming Garden with our adults, the lady I saw was called Rou Jia Xianhui.To marry a wife and a virtuous person is to have a prosperous husband and prosperous son.What's the use of looking at "expensive"?Not to mention that the lady looks no worse than the famous lady Fuqu in the imperial capital back then, and that lady Shui can also educate children, and that child is called Yi, who is cute, smart and clever...

As it was destined, the two groups of people went together while talking.In the dark, there seems to be something wrong... The more I talk about it, the more I feel that they are gossiping about the whole family!

The three Jinwu guards were shocked, and most of them were sober.

Well, even if the owner of the Shui Village has no evil intentions, the timing of the appearance of this family is too delicate, every time it seems to have something to do with Fei Tian'er's rumors.

coincidence?

Where in this world are there so many coincidences?

Think about Mr. Renshu’s several well-timed letters of appeal for help when he was in Lushui County, and also, Shi Ke deliberately pushed Mr. Xie’s chrysanthemum appreciation feast and insisted on a day trip to Lanming Garden... Considering Shi Ke suspected Fei Tian'er's identity, considering Mr. Renshu's suspected Fei Tian'er's identity, if you want to say that Shui Zhuang's family and Fei Tian'er are innocent... Do you think Jin Wuwei is a fool?

Xiao Chu and the others couldn't care less about drinking at the moment, so they left the meeting halfway and reported the situation.

So, the next day, the files and records of the chief attorney general of the empire in Lusong College were removed. It was the trace left by Shi Ke when he first entered the imperial capital. The emperor had checked it before, but nothing was checked out, but things are different now.The first step in the investigation is to take Shi Ke's hometown file, compare it with the origin and background of the owner of Shui Zhuang, and search in depth, and you can always find a trace.

The so-called Dao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high. Shi Ke has long been on guard against someone messing with him behind his back. The records in the files cannot be changed in black and white, but he will always get the news as soon as possible whoever touches these things.Therefore, the owner of the water village was notified immediately and changed his plan.

The first step is to let Mrs. Shui take the steward, the servant and the girl to go back to Shuiyinzhuang first.The reasons are ready-made: the son is going to study in the imperial capital, and the family has to move to the imperial capital for permanent residence.As the head of the family, Master Shui is responsible for earning money and supporting the family, so he must stay and open up new worlds, but someone needs to arrange the property at home, so Mrs. Shui can only trouble Mrs. Shui to make a trip.The private reason is that only Mr. Renshu understands those bottles and cans, as well as the records of drug experiments. It is useless for the academic scum of Master Shui to go back...

As soon as Mrs. Shui leaves, the owner of Shui Village and his son will also move out of the current pumpkin alley and live in their new house. Whether it is the new house in the imperial capital or Shan Zhongxiu, they have nothing to do with their former life circle at all. .The imperial capital is really too big. Although it is in the same city, it is a whole new world.Even if one day in the future, someone can find out about Water Yin Village, or even touch Pumpkin Alley, they will only be able to find out that the former owner of Water Village waved his sleeves without taking away half of the cloud.There is no clue to tell them that the owner of Shui Zhuang and his family are halfway across the city, living a happy life.

But Shui Qingqian knew that she was going to move, so she was very depressed.

"Heron?"

"Father, moving to a new house... I, I'm not happy." Shui Qingqian hugged the gleaming golden giant spirit god, full of reluctance, and after a while, her eyes turned red, "So, I'm going to lose another friend, right? I can't come back to see Xiaopang in the future, and I can't go to Laiyi Academy to play, in fact, I really like listening to Grandpa Zhong tell stories..."

The water owner suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake.

The owner of Shui Zhuang has always shown in front of his son that he does not want to have any entanglement with the court, and is actually cunning.In fact, he and his wife really don't care. After all, they are adults with their own thinking and choices. Even if they are put in a glass jar by the court and handled with care, their attitude towards life cannot be changed.

But Luzi is different, he is still young, and the owner of Shui Zhuang doesn't want Luzi to be disturbed from the outside before he makes a choice, such as being "becoming a politician" or "being friends".He was trying his best to avoid all this from happening, but he didn't realize that this arrangement itself had already made his little heron 'chosen'.

"Has Luzi missed Brother Azhao?"

"Ah."

"You like Su Xiaopang too?"

"like."

"Is Luzi afraid of those Jinwu guards?"

Shui Qingqian sniffed, shook his head, "No." I don't know why his father asked, "The uncles who follow Grandpa are very nice."

Master Shui took a deep breath, he made up his mind, picked up Heron and put it on his arm, wiped his son's face like a cat, "Son, you must remember the following words:" Master Shui looked at his son seriously , "If you don't like it, you have to tell Dad that you don't like it. Remember, no one can force you to do anything you don't like. Mom and Dad won't, and others are even less qualified, understand?"

The ignorant little bird blinked and blinked...

"Daddy, then I don't like moving." Xiaoniao made the first request.

"Well, then let's not go. If you want to go to school, you can go to school. If you want to go to Su Ping, you can go to Su Ping to play. If you want to write a letter to Brother Azhao, you can write it. Dad sent someone to Cheng Jing to pass it on to him. ,OK?"

Really?

Of course good!

But Shui Qingqian became very sensible and melancholy immediately, "Father, will I be caught and locked up in a dark room like this?"

"It's okay, grandpa is a high-ranking official, no one can bully Luzi." The owner of Shui Zhuang comforted Xiaoniao.

Xiaoniao seemed to understand, he vaguely felt that this was not good, but his father told him, let him be happy, don't worry.

Daddy is the best!

Xiaoniao lingered on her father for a while, trying to help her father find a way to get the best of both worlds... Uh, if you can keep in touch with Su Xiaopang, you can continue to play in the academy, and you can even contact Brother Azhao, "Then , then it’s okay to move, anyway, it’s the same anyway. The new home is bigger!” Shui Qingqian thought of Shan Zhongxiu, he likes it, it’s good to move there, uh, it’s okay if you don’t go to school for a while, and don’t go to find Xiaopang...

Water owner: (﹔﹣)~→

Pushing forward, "Father, I still don't like to eat radishes, green onions, green peppers, and..."

Water owner: (ー`′ー)
