After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Xie Linghe's joy at receiving two hundred taels of silver suddenly diminished by a lot.

Xie Zhongji and the other two also shut up.

She said no more and began to count the money in silence.

"Madam, the total is one hundred and eighty wen. Please calculate it and see if it is correct."

The proprietress took it with a smile: "Okay."

He counted carefully and finished in a few seconds, then nodded with a smile: "That's right."

Several people stood up.

The proprietress waved enthusiastically: "Goodbye, guests. Welcome to come again next time."

Hear the words.

Xie Shuze said angrily: "It's delicious, but it's too expensive. I can't afford it next time."

Xie Jijun agreed.

Xie Zhongji's face was filled with worry, and he suddenly raised his fist in anger: "When I become an official in the future, I will definitely punish these profiteers who exploit the people!!!"

As soon as these words came out.

Xie Linghe looked over immediately.

Xie Lingfen and Xie Lingai both looked surprised.

Xie Shuze's eyes widened: "Second brother, what are you talking about?"

"Become an official?!"

Xie Jijun's mouth twitched: "My dear second brother, are you serious?"

"At least you have to pass the imperial examination to become an official."

"If you want to be the chief official of Chunde County, you have to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi..."

See this.

Xie Zhongji also calmed down.

He smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I was just saying it casually..."

Xie Linghe raised his voice and interrupted him: "Second brother, I believe you can do it!"

Xie Zhongji looked at him in a daze.

Xie Linghe looked at the three of them and said word by word, "You've been studying for so long, don't you want to take the provincial and county exams next year to test your learning achievements?"

Xie Zhongji was immediately moved and blurted out: "I want to."

Xie Shuze hesitated: "I still..."

Xie Linghe looked unkindly: "Huh?!"

He immediately changed his tone: "I want to, too, hehe."

Xie Jijun observed the situation and nodded softly: "I want to join too."

"now it's right."

Xie Linghe smiled with satisfaction: "A scholar who doesn't want to be the top scholar is not a good scholar!"

Top pick?

Xie Zhongji and the other two looked at each other tacitly, with the same thought in their eyes: The eldest sister is crazy!

Top pick?

She was too daring to think.

……

I've had beef noodles.

Xie Zhongji and his friends were strolling around the market with great interest. Xie Linghe had other things to do in the county town, so he stopped them.

"Here's a penny of change. Divide it among you and use it to buy some small things and snacks."

After listening.

Xie Zhongji, Xie Shuze, Xie Jijun and Xie Lingai's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Snacks?"

"Toy?!"

"Sister, you are so generous."

"Great!"

Xie Lingfen took it with a smile: "Okay, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters, big sister, you can go do your thing without worry."

"Ah."

Xie Linghe nodded. Before leaving, he deliberately observed Xie Lingai's performance. Seeing that she did not insist on going with him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that this clingy little guy would be with her...

Fortunately.

The snacks and acrobatics took her soul away.

……

After separation.

Xie Linghe came to a dental clinic.

This is a government-run agency for renting and selling houses and land, not a private agency.

The shop had three rooms. When she walked in, a servant greeted her: "Sir, are you looking to rent a house, buy a house, buy land, or sell a house or land?"

Xie Linghe got straight to the point: "I want to buy a farm."

"Buy a village?!"

The servant was in high spirits and said respectfully, "Please take a seat, sir."

After sitting down.

He poured a cup of tea and said, "Please drink your tea first. I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll go and invite the master."

Xie Linghe took a sip of tea and nodded.

She did not feel disgusted by the servant's cold behavior at first but flattering later. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and she dressed simply, so it was natural for the servant to judge a person by her clothes.

It takes about half a cup of tea.

The servant came in behind a short and fat middle-aged man.

She looked at the middle-aged man. Although he was short and fat, he was not greasy. His big, chubby face was covered with a smile as warm as spring breeze, which made people feel good about him at first sight.

As he stepped forward, he immediately bowed to Xie Linghe and thanked him, "I apologize for keeping you waiting for such a long time, dear guest."

Xie Linghe shook his head: "That's not necessary."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My surname is Qian. May I know your name, sir?"

Xie Linghe: "Thank you, thank you Linghe, you can just call me by my name."

The middle-aged man readily agreed: "Xie Xiao-Xiao, I heard from my men that you plan to visit the farm, right?"

Xie Linghe nodded. "That's right, Qian Ya Ren, do you have a small farm worth around one or two hundred silver coins?"

She stated her needs directly.

"One hundred taels?"

Qian Yaren began to recall: "There are a few places."

Xie Linghe cheered up.

"I can't remember clearly. Miss Xie, please come with me so I can look through the book."

"it is good."

Entered the study at the back.

Qian Yaren found the booklet and began to flip through it quickly, but soon stopped.

Xie Linghe leaned forward subconsciously.

"Thank you, Miss, I found them, there are three in total.

The first one is in Sanhe Village under Huangqiao Town. This farm originally belonged to a small landlord named Wang. His son became addicted to gambling, so he mortgaged the farm and it eventually came into my hands.

This farm has a total of 20 mu of land, all of which is top-quality farmland. It also has three houses built to accommodate a family of three tenants. Behind the mountain are green mountains, and next to the farm is a small river. It is nestled between mountains and water, and the feng shui is very good.

Hear this.

Xie Linghe couldn't help laughing.

Good feng shui?

So, they raised a prodigal son who ruined their ancestors' legacy?!

opposite.

Qian Yaren reacted, laughed awkwardly twice, and continued as if nothing had happened: "Huangqiao Town is about half an hour away from Chunde County. The town is very prosperous. Sanhe Village is also half an hour away from Huangqiao Town. The location is very good, very nice.

The whole farm costs only one hundred and thirty taels of silver, and the house and tenants are half-given."

“It’s a good deal.”

Xie Linghe nodded and said nothing more.

Qian Ya Ren paused and mentioned the next thing: "This farm is near Chunde County, but it's a bit remote and the road is difficult to get to. The farm has a total of thirty acres of land, all medium-sized fields, and it costs four taels of silver per acre. There is only a thatched hut and no one is guarding it. The price is relatively cheap, one hundred taels of silver."

Xie Linghe shook his head.

Zhuangzi?

This is the thirty acres of land.

Fortunately, I can say it.

Of course, the most important thing is that the distance is too far and it is impossible for her to buy it.

She thought to herself: "Why not just ask those in Changhai Town..."

the other side.

Qian Yaren frowned slightly and said the last one: "This one is quite far away, near Changhai Town..."

Xie Linghe suddenly became energetic.

Seeing this, Qian Ya Ren became more serious. "This farm is about two miles from Changhai Town. During the flood, a young master who happened to be visiting the farm was drowned. The owner was heartbroken and sold the farm at a low price. Because many people thought the death was unlucky, it never sold."
