Qingfeng County Guangjuyuan Auction House

    A middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s with a long beard, carrying a backpack covered with an old cloth, stepped into the lobby of the auction house.

    "Guest officer, who are you looking for?" A young boy sat on the counter boredly, as if waiting for a guest to come.

    "I'm looking for your shopkeeper Zhou!" Lin Deshan said with a fist.

    Hearing that the person in front of him said that he was looking for Shopkeeper Zhou, he immediately looked at him.

    Just seeing the middle-aged man in plain clothes, with some disdain in his eyes, he said with a sharp and ironic tone, "Do you have anything to do with our shopkeeper Zhou? Shopkeeper Zhou receives some nobles all day long. , very busy, it is impossible for anyone to come to him, so he must come forward to receive him in person."

    The words of Xiao Er are telling Lin Deshan that the people who asked Mr. Hu to come forward to receive are those powerful and powerful people. People like him who appeared in this corner can be See you anywhere.

    Lin Deshan was not angry either, he said very politely, "I'm old acquaintances with the shopkeeper Zhou, please let me know, and say Lin Deshan is here."

    Little Er heard that Lin Deshan and their shopkeeper Zhou were old acquaintances, but looking at Lin Deshan's clothes, it was very different from their shopkeeper Hu, and he was a little suspicious.

    Finally, Xiao Er thought about it and said, "Wait here, I'll go look for Manager Hu."

    Whether it is true knowledge or false knowledge, if it is true knowledge, he will report it, and it will not offend people.

      , it's really you!"

    From the back, I saw that Shopkeeper Zhou really knew this person, and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he really went to find someone. Human relationships are great.

    Lin Deshan also excitedly shouted to the shopkeeper Zhou, "Brother Zhou!"

    Treasurer Zhou laughed and scolded excitedly, "You bastard, where have you been all these years, why is there not even a trace?"

    Lin Deshan said with a wry smile, "Back then, the family declined and the industry went bankrupt, so I had to go to a small town to do some small business."

    Manager Zhou said angrily, "But you can't hide from our relatives and friends like this."

    His friendship with Shopkeeper Zhou can be traced back to the previous generation.

    The Lin family is in the herbal medicine business, and the Zhou family is in the auction business, so there is a relationship between the two families.

    But because of Lin's father's improper business, he got into a lawsuit. As a result, the Lin family's business declined by leaps and bounds. It didn't take long for Lin's father to die of illness and depression, leaving a lot of mess Lin Deshan was well protected by his father since he was a child. He never dealt with business affairs alone. He gritted his teeth and sold the remaining assets, and then flew away.

    Although he was a small drugstore owner in Gajia Town, he did not know anything about the provincial capital.

    This time because of a purple cloud flower, he came over to contact an old acquaintance.

    Lin Deshan smiled and said, "No, I'm here to find you."

    Treasurer Zhou couldn't bear to get angry anymore, he said, "Come on, let's go in and talk!"

    After Lin Deshan and Shopkeeper Zhou entered, Lin Deshan said straight to the point, "Brother Zhou, this time, I have a treasure to sell to you Guangjuyuan."

    Things that can tell the treasures from the Linde Pass must be of great value.

     Shopkeeper Zhou said curiously, "What baby?"

    Lin Deshan put down the basket on his back, and then took out a flower pot from the basket.

     

    Lin Deshan nodded and said, "Yes, this is Purple Cloud Flower."

    Treasurer Zhou immediately picked up the purple cloud flower very carefully, with seven leaves and purple flowers. The flowers were like clouds, and they were really purple cloud flowers.

    Treasurer Zhou watched it for a while, put it down, and then began to return to the topic, seriously asking, "Deshan, is this thing yours? In what form do you want to sell it? If you want to sell it to a noble person, I will help you connect, and if it is auctioned to me, we will take a 20% commission."

    Friendship is friendship, business is business, and shopkeeper Zhou is very clear.

    Lin Deshan shook his head and said, "This thing was consigned by someone else in my small pharmacy."

    When shopkeeper Zhou heard this, his eyes were a little strange, and his expression was a little surprised.

    In other words, this thing is not from Lindeshan, but it is not an ordinary herb farmer who can put it on consignment in Lindeshan store so smartly instead of selling it directly to Lindeshan.

    Lin Deshan continued, "However, after she knew that I was a little hypocritical with you, she directly ordered me to sell this thing directly to your auction house."

    Treasurer Zhou's pupils shrank again, his expression was shocked, and the huge surprise overwhelmed his heart.

    However, he still asked calmly, "Deshan, did he really say that?"

    You must know that selling directly to the auction house is a huge gap between the price and the auction house.

    Sometimes the difference may be more than double.

    Such a huge financial benefit, if you say no, you don't want it, but Mr. Hu is still a little unsure.

    Lin Deshan certainly knew what his friend was thinking, and he also said bluntly, "Brother Zhou, I live in Ning'an Town, Anding County, where I run a small pharmacy, and she is also a rural villager, So, you know." Of course, the latter words are self-evident.

     Shopkeeper Zhou listened, patted the table with one hand, narrowed his eyes, and looked serious, as if evaluating whether the deal was worth it or not.

    He pondered for a while, then asked very seriously, "Deshan, where did he get this baby?"

    Lin Deshan said without concealment, "Daaoshan!"

    Daao Mountain is the most dangerous deep mountain in Qingfeng Province and even the whole Longyan Kingdom.

     

     When Mr. Hu heard this answer, his pupils contracted violently again, and then he said decisively, "Okay!"

    What is good, only the two of them understand.

    However, let's talk about the price between the purple clouds now.

     Shopkeeper Hu said simply, "30,000 taels. I bought this purple cloud flower for 30,000 taels."

    Who knew Lin Deshan shook his head and said, "No, it's too low."

     Immediately he stretched out five fingers and said, "Five thousand taels!"

    Damn it, don't you bring this old friend? They only met for the first time in so many years, shouldn't they give a friendship price?

     Shopkeeper Zhou secretly complained in his heart.

    However, friendship is friendship, business is business, and the shopkeeper Zhou said without giving up, "No, it's too high, 30,002."

    If he didn't get the price of 50,000 taels, he would lose a lot.

    However, the good things of rejuvenation are not only in the hearts of those women, but also those powerful men want more.

    Who doesn't want to live another ten years?

    Lin Deshan shook his head and disagreed.

    The final price was forty thousand taels.

    At this price, Lin Deshan naturally knows that this friend is very kind. If it is someone else, it is very likely that he will buy it for a price of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

    After the two completed the handover procedures, the shopkeeper Hu asked, "Deshan, I plan to auction this thing in three days, will you stay?"

    Lin Deshan said in surprise, "So fast?"

     Shopkeeper Zhou said, "This rare treasure, of course, the more urgent the better. In this way, the price of this treasure itself may be higher."

    A businessman is a businessman, and he always pursues the best interests.

    Lin Deshan thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "No. I'll go back directly."

    The eldest young master of Lin Kee Pharmacy, who disappeared for so many years, suddenly appeared in the Guangjuyuan auction house. As soon as he appeared, there would be an auction of this rejuvenating treasure. It would be difficult for people not to doubt it. He was in danger.

    Treasurer Zhou also obviously thought of this level, and then said with some regret, "Okay. I'm not forcing you, do you want me to send you a carriage back?"

    Lin Deshan shook his head, "No need." His carriage was too ostentatious.

    Lin Deshan left Qingfeng provincial capital on the same day.

    Three days later, the auction that shocked the entire provincial capital circle of nobles was held in Guangjuyuan.

    …

    Lin Yuelan said that she wanted to encircle so many places that the three of them were shocked and thought that Lin Yuelan was talking big.

    Lin Yiwei couldn't believe what he heard, so he asked again, "Lady Lan, how much land did you just enclose?"

    Lin Yuelan said, "I want to circle all the open spaces around my house."

    After Lin Yiwei was sure that he heard it correctly, he said with some concern, "Girl, there is a hundred acres of land, are you sure you want to encircle so much?"

    Lin Yuelan nodded, "Yes!"

    She has her own plans, and she feels that this place is simply not enough.

    In addition to her own house, she also plans to build other houses in these places. One is to build a factory, but it will be used as a staff dormitory in the future.

    With the remaining land, she will allocate part of it to grow vegetables, part of grapes, etc., and build a large radial farm with her house as the center.

    Lin Yiwei looked at Lin Yuelan and wasn't talking big, he said with some doubts, "Miss Lan, what are you doing here?" It is difficult to guarantee that there will be a man who is not afraid of death in the future. For the sake of the girl's family business, marrying the girl will harm the happiness of the girl's life.

    However, as a shrewd girl, she will definitely not be deceived casually.

    Lin Yuelan did not answer Lin Yiwei directly, but pretended to be mysterious, "Grandpa Lizheng, Lan girl will keep it a secret for the time being, then you will know."

    Lin Yiwei can only say, "Okay, tomorrow I will convene everyone in Linjia Village, hold a meeting, and talk to them. Let's see what their wishes are."

    Actually, he didn't have a clue in his heart. Many fields were reluctant to sell to Lin Yuelan, and it was estimated that these fields were similar.

    Lin Yiwei just sighed in his heart, secretly said, do your best.

    Lin Yuelan said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Li!"

    …

    It was already night when Lin Yuelan returned home.

    Several people who went to work outside have returned.

    Lin Yuelan, as usual, fry two or three dishes before eating.

    After dinner, everyone sat in the yard chatting, Lin Yuelan said, "I plan to build a house."

    Except Jiang Zhennan heard that Lin Yuelan had this plan, and was not surprised, the others, including Doctor Zhang and Xiaotong, were slightly surprised.

    After a while, Guo Bing nodded happily and said, "Okay, okay!"

    After the house is built, they don't have to sleep in this tent every day.

    Although it is fine to sleep in a tent in summer, there are so many mosquitoes that he has to bite several bags every day.

    "Miss Lin, when will you start building a house? How big will you be?" Guo Bing asked a little excitedly.

    "I plan to build a two-storey, three-entry, three-yard blue-brick house," Lin Yuelan said, "In the afternoon, I went to find Grandpa Lizheng, and asked him to help enclose the land. , as long as the land around the house is surrounded by a hundred zhang." Lin Yuelan didn't hide it from them either.

    I heard Lin Yuelan say that the surrounding area of ​​the house should be enclosed, everyone was a little dumbfounded like the Lizheng family.

    This circle may not be too big, right?

    Not to mention one building with three entrances and three exits, even ten buildings can be built. You must know that the land within a hundred feet is equivalent to more than one hundred acres.

    Does it take so much land to build a house?

    Guo Bing said with some tongue-tied, "Miss Lin, won't this hundred zhang land be too big? Isn't it just a house with three entrances and three exits?"

    Lin Yuelan chuckled and said, "Who said that there is only one building with three entrances and three exits?"

    "Huh?!" Everyone was confused.

    It was Mrs. Zhang's old actuary, he asked, "Girl, do you have any plans?"

    Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Yes. I plan to build a farm manor within the scope of this house!"

    "Farmhouse?" They didn't understand.

    Grange, farm, they all know, but what kind of stuff is a farm?

    Lin Yuelan blinked and said with a smile, "In the future, just wait and see!"

    Lin Yuelan deliberately lost their appetite, and they couldn't pry anything out of her mouth at all.

    The next day, early in the morning, Lin Yiwei arranged a young man, holding a gong, knocking from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, shouting, everyone went to the meeting under the banyan tree , everyone to a meeting under the banyan tree. "

    When I heard the voice of the meeting, everyone, men and women, young and old, came out one after another, brought a small bench by the way, and rushed to the bottom of the banyan tree.

    This banyan tree is so big and sturdy that it needs three adults to hug each other. Usually, villagers knock their teeth and chat under this banyan tree. Meetings are also gathered here.

    "Why the sudden meeting? Is there something important?"

    "Right? What's going on here?"

    In twos and threes, they walked under the big tree with stools, but they couldn't hide their doubts.

    Not long after, except for Lin Yuelan and Lin Laosan's family, almost everyone came over.

    Lin's third brother didn't come because he had a stomach of grievances against this Li Zheng, so if he didn't come to the meeting, it was to express their dissatisfaction with Li Zheng.

    As for Lin Yuelan, hehe, she is worried that she is here, these people are not here.

    I was swiping around, seeing that the third Lin family was missing, Lin Yiwei immediately ordered a young man to call.

    It's just that the young man came back and said directly, "Uncle Lizheng, Uncle Third and the others said they were uncomfortable and would not come."

    The face turned black, with an expression of forbearance and anger on his face, he said sharply, "Since they are not feeling well, then after the meeting, I will ask someone to tell the congress."

    "Lizheng, what's the matter?" Someone asked suddenly.

    Li Zheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Yesterday girl Lan came to me and said that she wants to build a house and enclose the land."

    When the news came out, they were surprised.

    In just three or four months, that girl bought cattle and land, and now she has to build a house again? Too fast, right?

    Is she rich?

    However, on second thought, there must be money.

    Not to mention that she made three or four hundred taels for selling a big worm, but I heard that selling a piece of ginseng, she also made a thousand taels.

    Looking at the house she lives in now, it trembles slightly, other people's pigsties may be better than hers, and now that you have money on hand, of course you have to build a new house.

    However, if she builds a house, she just builds a house, and it doesn't matter to everyone. What's going on with this urgent meeting?

    "Oh, I said Lizheng, that girl wants to build a house and enclosure, that's her business, what are you calling everyone to do? Is it possible to tell everyone that she wants to Build a house?"

    "Haha..."

    "Yes, it's really none of our business for her to build a house. What is it that she came to us?"

    Everyone said something to me, all with some resentment and some fear.

    Lin Yiwei shouted loudly, "Everyone quiet, everyone quiet, everyone listen to me!"

    Everyone quieted down, and then Lin Yiwei said, "Originally, it's none of your business to build a house with Lan girl, but yesterday Lan girl told me that she wants to enclose the land, but it can be circled. The scope of the land is all the open space around her house, so tell everyone about it."

    Lin Yiwei said this, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

    In silence, only the cicadas of the banyan tree can be heard.

    At this time, a group of people, about five or six young adults, came towards this side from the entrance of the village.

    When they were some distance away from the banyan tree, one of the largest middle-aged men among them came over.

    "Excuse me, is this Linjia Village?"

    The sudden voice sounded in this quiet environment and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

    "Yes." Lin Jiawei, who was standing at the back, answered shyly.

    "Excuse me, how do I get to Lin Yuelan's house?" The middle-aged man asked again.

    "Who are you and why are you looking for Lan girl?" Lin Yiwei came over and asked seriously.

    "Oh, we are craftsmen in the town, my surname is Hu." The middle-aged man pointed at five people not far away, "I heard that the Lin Yuelan family is going to build a house here, we are the ones who are being targeted by the town. The shopkeeper of Linyue Pavilion was introduced to her and built a house for her. Let's take a look first today."

    When they heard that they were looking for Lin Yuelan's craftsmen, everyone's minds moved, they didn't move, and they didn't make a sound.

    Lin Yiwei heard that he was looking for Lin Yuelan's craftsman, he immediately ordered Lin Jiawei, "Xiaowei, take them to Lan girl's house." He would definitely not want to call someone else.

    "Yes, Uncle Li Zheng!" Lin Jiawei was also happy.

    After Lin Jiawei took Artisan Hu and the others to leave, everyone was busy again.

    "Even the craftsmen have been found, and it seems that building a house is a fact." Those who said this were somewhat envious.

    "Isn't that what I'm talking about, how could it be fake."

    "Hehe, we've been working so hard all our lives, and we can't save enough money to build a house. That girl is better. In just a few months, we have a thousand taels of silver on our hands." Some of them are sour.

    "If you want to have a thousand taels of silver all at once, you can also go to Daao Mountain to hunt big insects, but go to the cliffs in the mountain to collect medicinal materials, and see if you have such a good life." Really different life. Mingming Lan girl, a weak person who can't fight back for a few months, and who can't be scolded, has become a fearful existence in the blink of an eye.

     "Hehe, what if that girl has more money? She is an unfilial descendant who sees her parents working and suffering, but ignores them at all. Such an unfilial person will surely be a thunderbolt in the future. "How vicious is such a person. Just because he was jealous of others' wealth, he cursed them viciously like this.

    "Hehe, it's a shame that you can say this, don't you know that the family has cut off relations with that family, and it has nothing to do with it? Why should Lan girl be filial? Besides, those People spend all day thinking about killing other people's Lan girl, who has such a generous heart to honor those family members who want to kill themselves."

    "Why did she speak for her when she saw that she was rich," the man sneered, "Oh, don't forget, that man is a nemesis, no matter how rich she is, I'll give it to you, and I'll let you die."

    "You..."

    …

    "Enough!" Lin Yiwei snapped at those who started to spread rumors and poured dirty water, "You all understand what I said just now. Lan girl is going to enclose the land, And the surrounding vacant land must be enclosed, that is to say, as long as there is your home land, she will pay for it at a very fair price."

    "Don't sell it!" Someone said without thinking, "That's a nemesis. If I sell the land to her, I'm worried that I will be killed."

    "I'm not selling either, I'd rather let those old houses and old houses vacant, and I don't want to sell the land to her."

    "I don't sell either..."

    "Lizheng, how much did Lan girl sell?"

    "Sixteen taels per acre!"

    "Sixteen taels? So high!"

    Those high-end fields are only up to fifteen taels, and there is no land, Lan girl actually pays such a high price.

    Lin Yiwei explained, "Lady Lan said that the first time she voluntarily sold it, she bought it at the price of 13 taels, and the other 3 taels were compensation for everyone, so a total of ten taels per acre. Liuliang bought it. However, after missing the first opportunity, she would only buy it for 121 mu without any compensation.”

    When Li Zheng said that Lin Yuelan was willing to buy it at a high price of 16 taels, many people were moved.

      .

    In this case, the place is empty anyway, so it is better to sell it at a high price, at least to make some money.

    However, estimating the reputation of Lin Yuelan, the nemesis, and I am a little worried.

    "Lizheng, why only twelve taels the second time?" Someone asked in confusion.

    Isn't the price higher the further you go? How did it come to her, but turned back?

    Lin Yiwei explained, "The second sale is at the normal price. Everyone understands that an acre of high-grade fields is fifteen taels, medium fields are twelve taels, and lower The waiting field is five taels. According to the land in the Houcun, the low-grade fields will not pass, but Lan Yatou considered that those fields used to be the old residences of everyone, and it was a little hot, so she was willing to use the middle-grade fields. Buy the price.

    However, Lan girl said that she only gave three chances, the first time was 16 taels, the second time was 10 taels, and the third time was only 5 taels. , She is not reluctant, but, when everyone goes to the field, either they will take a detour, or they must leave behind to buy tolls, because that land was bought by her. "

    As soon as Lizheng said this, there was a bang, and someone said angrily, "Lizheng, that girl Lin Yuelan is too domineering, you can't help Zhou. Why didn't she let it go if she didn't let it go?"

    Lin Yiwei listened to his words and said angrily, "The roads in the past were also the roads made by other people. I have already said that she will enclose the vacant land in that place. , whoever sells her will buy it, and after buying it, it will become hers, do you think she is qualified to let everyone pass? Ah!"

      to the village.

    Hearing Li Zheng's words, someone immediately hummed, "Huh, then don't sell it!" When he said no, he meant the land that had become a road, and then the man shouted again He shouted, "Everyone remember, whose land has become a road, don't sell it!"

    Lin Yiwei was a little annoyed, he said with a dark face, "I'll tell you about this, whether you want to sell it, you can figure it out for yourself. If you want to sell it, bring the title deed with you. Come to my house to make a registration, give the money in one hand and the land deed in the other."

    On the other side, Lin Jiawei brought Artisan Hu and the others to Lin Yuelan's house.

    It's just that Artisan Hu and the others were dumbfounded when they saw the home of the employer they were looking for.

    This is too small, rotten, and poor, right?

    A family like this really has the money to build a house?

    There was some hesitation in their hearts.

    Lin Jiawei shouted to the door, "Sister Yuelan, Sister Yuelan, are you at home?"

    After a while, Craftsman Hu and the others saw a very cute little girl walking out of this dilapidated house, with neat features, an oval face, a pair of big, clear eyes, fair skin, When I saw the light green dress, it looked very beautiful.

    "Wait, Sister Yuelan," Artisan Hu and the others realized that the person they were looking for seemed to be a child. Looking at Lin Yuelan who was approaching, Artisan Hu asked suspiciously, "You Is that Lin Yuelan?"

    Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "I am Lin Yueban, who are you?"

    Fuck! It was a child who invited them here.

    Oh, by the way, Shopkeeper Li seems to have told her that the people who invited them are a bit young, but they should not be underestimated. The famous nemesis of Linjia Village, asked if they would pick up the job? This needs to be considered clearly.

    It has nothing to do with them being a nemesis? Therefore, they immediately looked for it.

    Only then do I know that this is a little old, but very young, okay? It looks like a little girl who has not yet reached the age.

    Just, can she be in charge? With such a big thing as building a house, is there no one else in charge?

     Craftsman Hu and the others introduced themselves, "I am Craftsman Hu at the end of the west alley in town. Shopkeeper Li came to me and asked me to take over a job. The employer is Lin Yuelan, hehe, no Remember, you're still a child."

    Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows.

    Her name, I believe, is well known in town. Has this person never heard of her?

    Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "I'm only twelve years old, of course I'm a child. Please come in." Lin Yuelan opened the courtyard door and let Artisan Hu and the others come in.

    Lin Jiawei was a little embarrassed to go in, he said, "Sister Yuelan, everyone is having a meeting under the tree, I will go back to continue the meeting now."

    Lin Yuelan nodded to him.

    After Artisan Hu and the others came in, they looked at them and saw that there were five or six tents in the yard. They were a little surprised, but they didn't ask any further questions.

    They sat in a circle on the stone table, Lin Yuelan poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then sat down by herself, and said directly, "You have seen it, my house looks like this, it must not be One more cover."

    Artisan Hu nodded, and then asked straight to the point, "I don't know if this house is built, is it only Miss Lin who can make up her own mind?"

    Lin Yuelan smiled and nodded, "Master Hu, you are my elder, you can call me Xiao Lin." An elder called her Miss Lin, which made her a little awkward.

    Artisan Hu nodded.

     "Don't worry, I'm the only one in charge of my family. Of course, I'm the only one in charge of building a house." Lin Yuelan said.

    Artisan Hu and the others doubted what Lin Yuelan said, but what they were more worried about was their wages.

    They don't quite believe that the child is the one to prepare for such a large amount of money to build a house.

    Artisan Hu nodded and said, "It's okay for us to take this job, just the wages?"

    Lin Yuelan said very simply, "Five wen a day, three meals are included, as for the accommodation, you can build a simple wooden house, or you can buy a piece or two like my yard. Bu, I'll make a simple tent for you."

    This place is far from the town, and it takes a day to go back and forth, so the room and board must be here.

    Hearing such good conditions, the few people who followed Craftsman Hu immediately opened their eyes and shouted with some excitement, "Big Brother!"

    Artisan Hu glared at them, a little hating that iron is not steel.

    I am so anxious, is it not good for them?

    You know, it's just verbal talk now, who knows if this child is fooling them?

    Artisan Hu said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, I am very moved by such good conditions, but, how do I settle this money?"
