Chapter 1271 Buying a Cemetery
"It's obviously dad who said that." Chu Yijie pouted and muttered in a low voice.
Xia Zihan twitched the corners of his eyes, pretending not to hear, picked up the chopsticks, personally picked up some of their favorite dishes for his two sons and put them in their bowls, "Don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep, eat quickly, eat After dinner, mother will take you to grandma’s place.”
The Chinese New Year will be coming again in ten days, and it is a busy time in the mansion. As the wife of the Crown Prince, she has to help her mother-in-law take care of the housework no matter what.
After dinner, Xia Zihan and the two little buns went to Zhuo's yard.
Chu Xuanyu and Zhuo had just finished their meal, and they were talking affectionately together. When they heard the maid outside the door reporting that their daughter-in-law and grandson were coming, Zhuo shyly pushed the slimy Chu Xuanyu. "You're such a shameless old man. Didn't you say you were going to the military camp and you still kept insisting on me?"
"As a husband, I seldom pester my wife. What's wrong? Who dares to gossip?" Chu Xuanyu replied confidently. However, he glanced at the hourglass and saw that it was getting late. If he didn't go to the military camp, it would be dark by the time he arrived at the military camp.
He let go of Mr. Zhuo, took a large black cloak from the hanger, put it on his body, and buttoned it while telling him, "I won't be back for dinner tonight. I will be back later. You don't have to wait for me. You can rest first." .”
"Yes, I got it." Mrs. Zhuo took the whip that was hanging on the wall and handed it to him, and said uneasily, "It's cold and the roads are slippery. Please ride more slowly. If you really can't make it back in time, stay in the military camp. ”
"I will come back to accompany you in the evening." Chu Xuanyu pointed out, "Today's things must be finished today. I just started it. When I come back in the evening, I have to finish it no matter what. Otherwise, I will think Can’t sleep.”
Zhuo thought that she had been kissed so hard by him that she could barely breathe, and he also put his hand inside her clothes and kneaded her for a long time. If the three Ayu Niangs hadn't come, I'm afraid she would have He was pressed on the kang.
Zhuo's cheeks turned red and she hit him with her fist. She showed her little daughter's coquettish look and said angrily, "You are an old fool. If I don't care about you tonight, I will take your last name."
"You don't have my last name now?" Chu Xuanyu looked at her with a joking expression
After a woman gets married, she must take her husband's surname. Even a hundred years later, her surname will be written on her tablet, "Chu's surname is Zhuo." ’
Mrs. Zhuo was almost distraught at his teasing. She blushed and walked out of the door. Then she welcomed her daughter-in-law and two grandchildren in with a sneer.
When Xia Zihan came, she saw that the door of the main room was closed tightly. She knew that she had come at the wrong time. When she was about to take her two children back to Yuqiong Garden, the maid had already seen them and had already asked them. Reported inside.
She had no choice but to shamelessly stand outside the door and wait.
Seeing her father-in-law and mother-in-law coming out, she lowered her eyebrows and bowed obediently, called someone, and then gave Ms. Zhuo a very apologetic look, which made Ms. Zhuo's cheeks turn as red as a girl's.
Jie'er, on the other hand, saw his grandfather about to go out and said hurriedly, "Grandpa, why don't you practice martial arts today? Do you want to take my brother and me out?"
Chu Xuanyu originally did not plan to take his two grandsons there, but when he saw the anticipation in their eyes, his words changed again, "Grandpa is going to the military camp, do you want to go too?"
"Go, Jie'er is going." Chu Yijie rushed over and hugged Chu Xuanyu's thigh, "Grandpa, take Jie'er there."
Although Xuan'er didn't pounce on him, the hope in his eyes was so bright that Chu Xuanyu couldn't bear to refuse.
He remembered that when he was five years old, he had gone to the military camp with his father. His grandson was now four or five years old, so he said, "You can go, but you must listen to your grandfather's words and don't run around after you go." "Well, If Jie'er doesn't run around, brother won't run around either." Chu Yijie happily replied on Chu Yixuan's behalf.
The two little buns said goodbye to their grandmother and mother excitedly, and then hurriedly followed their grandfather to the military camp.
Xia Zihan and Zhuo went to the flower room, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law handled the affairs of the house in a well-coordinated manner.
Mrs. Zhuo wanted to hand over the affairs of the house to Xia Zihan for a long time. However, in recent years, Xia Zihan often left Beijing. Not long after Mrs. Zhuo let her go, after she left Beijing, Mrs. Zhuo had to Picking it up again would be troublesome,
Later, Mrs. Zhuo simply didn't mention this matter, but as long as Xia Zihan was in the house, she would take the initiative to help Mr. Zhuo relieve her worries, which made Mr. Zhuo feel a lot more relaxed.
In the evening, none of Chu Xuanyu's three ancestors and grandsons came back, but Chu Jingqi came back in the evening.
Xia Zihan asked him how the search on the mountain was going.
Chu Jingqi said, "When my father-in-law and I were out of the city, we met Zheng Qing. When we learned that my father-in-law wanted to buy a hilltop to use as our ancestral cemetery, Zheng Qing said that there were several hills behind Orion Village and the Feng Shui was good. However, those hills belonged to the village. They are shared by the villagers and have been sold a few before, but the prices were very high.”
Orion Village is the village where Zheng Qing and Zheng's family settled on the outskirts of the city. It is very close to the capital and can be reached in an hour by horseback.
The distance is just right, neither too far nor too close. However, according to Zheng Qing, the dozen hills behind Orion Village are owned by Orion Village, and the villagers of Orion Village also used those hills to make several large sums of money. Windfall.
To put it bluntly, Orion Village is close to the capital, and the land is valuable in gold and silver. If you want to buy someone else's hilltop, they will be very open to it. You can buy it if you want to, or you can choose not to.
Moreover, the Feng Shui of Orion Village is good, and many people in the capital go there to buy hills to use as ancestral cemeteries. The hills that Orion Village sold before were bought by other families to use as ancestral cemeteries.
In addition, the price of buying a cemetery is higher than that of Zhuangzi Grove. Therefore, Chu Jingqi was not surprised after hearing this. However, after Xia Shiming calculated his family's savings, his heart trembled and he hesitated.
Xia Shiming planned to buy a hilltop farther away from the capital. Although the journey was longer, the price was cheap and he could afford it.
Orion Village is close to the capital. Even if Zheng Qing didn't say it was expensive, he could guess that the hills there would definitely not be cheap.
Seeing his father-in-law's hesitation, Chu Jingqi advised, "Dad, let's go take a look first and decide whether to buy it or not."
Xia Shiming thought to himself that it wouldn't cost any money to take a look. His son-in-law said he should take a look, so just take a look, so he nodded in agreement.
Chu Jingqi asked Zheng Qing, "Are you okay? If you are okay, please take Mr. Xia and I to the top of the mountain behind Orion Village to have a look."
Chu Jingqi has already spoken. Even if Zheng Qing wants to rush to the Chu Mansion as an errand, she must first respond to the prince.
Zheng Qing took them to the back mountain of Orion Village.
There are indeed more than a dozen hills in the hills behind Orion Village. However, the three hills on the capital side have all been sold. The boundaries have been circled inside and a cemetery has been built. From a distance, you can see nothing. Few graves.
