Chapter 137： Zhu Dashao

Chapter 137 Mr. Zhu

Gu Zhang nodded, "I know our family can't afford it, but I told Liu Zhuangtou and asked him to inquire for me. If anyone is willing to buy it, he will keep an eye on me to see if he can give our family ten acres of land." Ten acres of land.”

Gu Fei shook his head, "If someone can afford two thousand taels of silver, he doesn't care at all if he pays an extra one or two hundred taels."

“I don’t need to give you a few acres.”

Gu Zhang sighed, "Didn't I just say that there might be hope?"

“By the way, Liu Zhuangtou said that the surrounding areas are all owned by officials or wealthy businessmen, and no one has a house for rent, and none of the tenant farmers has a vacant house.”

Gu Fei thought for a while, "Then let's go to the city tomorrow and have a look. If the houses in the city are cheap, we can rent a house in the city. Living in someone else's house is not a long-term solution."

Gu Zhang nodded, "Then go to sleep. Don't rush on the road tomorrow. You can sleep until whatever time you wake up before heading into the city."

Let each one go and wash himself and go to bed.

Woke up early in the morning. Gu Fei had just finished washing up and was planning to have breakfast and go into the city when Liu Zhuangtou suddenly came over.

He pulled Gu Zhang and said in a low voice: "Someone is here to see Zhuangzi. I recognize that person. He is a well-known rich man in the city, known as Mr. Zhu. His family owns several restaurants, pawnshops, and a silver house."

"This man is kind and generous with his wealth. If you fall in love with him, he might be able to give you ten or twenty acres of land."

Gu Fei's eyes lit up and he hurriedly came over, "Dad, let's go and have a look."

Gu Zhang called Gu Qing and Gu Fei to go out with Liu Zhuangtou.

The land to be sold to the village and Su Chen's village are connected together.

As soon as Gu Fei went out, he saw a few horses in the distance, heading farther away.

Gu Fei made a decision immediately, "Tou Liu Zhuang, where is Zhuangzi? Let's go directly to Zhuangzi."

They definitely can't keep up with the horsemen on their legs, so they can only go to Zhuangzi to block people. Since they have seen the ground, they must also look at Zhuangzi.

Liu Zhuang pointed forward, "It's not far. I'll take you there."

It didn’t take long for everyone to arrive at the village.

The old man who was the gatekeeper in Zhuangzi recognized Liu Zhuangtou, said hello, and invited everyone to come in and sit down.

Gu Fei looked around.

This village is similar to Mr. Su's. It also has a two-entry courtyard. There are two osmanthus trees planted on the left and right of the front yard.

Several people were waiting in the yard for a stick of incense when they heard a horse neighing at the gate of the yard.

Gu Zhang hurriedly took Gu Qing and Gu Fei out.

As I walked to the gate of Zhuangzi, I met several people dismounting.

Gu Fei saw a young man in his twenties, with a square face, big ears, and a good appearance.

This young man is wearing a fox fur cloak with pine and green brocade cover, and an azurite leather robe with flowers on the inside. He has a small gold crown inlaid with pearls on his head. At first glance, he looks very wealthy.

Gu Zhang stepped forward and saluted, "I've met Young Master Zhu."

Young Master Zhu casually threw the riding crop to the attendant next to him, "You are -"

Gu Zhang said hurriedly: "Myself, Gu Zhang, I'm temporarily staying in Mr. Su's Zhuangzi next door. I heard that Mr. Zhu is a kind and generous man, so I came here to get acquainted with him."

Young Master Zhu raised his eyebrows.

The head of Zhuangzi next door told him just now that it was originally the property of King Qi's family, but now it is in the hands of King Qi's nephew. The young master's surname is Su.

These village leaders have already figured out the situation in their neighborhood in private, for fear of accidentally offending people they shouldn't offend.

Donghai County is the jurisdiction of the King of Qi. It can be said that this territory is the largest except for the Emperor.
