Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

A certain house in the county seat.

Nie Huiyang opened the door and walked into the courtyard, saying solemnly, "Boss, if you don't get any more jobs, our "Chaoyang Jianfang" will be disbanded."

An Shanwu looked sad, ""Rising Sun Construction" is pressing harder and harder. Every time we receive a job, they will take it away at a lower price. I have nothing to do now."

Nie Huiyang patted the palms of his hands, "Boss, you can't sit still."

An Shanwu looked at Nie Huiyang, "Then what can you do?"

Nie Huiyang avoided his eyes and said without confidence, "I wish I knew."

The two sighed in unison, falling into sorrow together.

Suddenly, a beautiful female voice came from outside the door, "Brother Shanwu, Brother Huiyang, are you there?"

The two looked up at the door together, then An Shanwu got up, and happily walked towards the door.

When he saw someone coming, he couldn't help shouting in surprise, "Sister Ruyue?"

Shen Ruyue smiled and said, "Brother Shanwu, I was afraid that you were not at home."

An Shanwu glanced at the three Chu Qingzhi siblings behind Shen Ruyue, and said enthusiastically, "Come in, come in."

The four walked into the yard.

After seeing Shen Ruyue, Nie Huiyang hurried to the house to get some tea.

In the yard, there was a set of tables and chairs made of wood with carvings on them. The overall brown color was very chic. An Shanwu greeted the four of them to sit down.

Chu Qingzhi and Shen Ruyue sat down, and the two younger ones stood behind Chu Qingzhi.

Nie Huiyang brought the tea to the table and said enthusiastically, "Sister Ruyue, girl, please drink tea."

An Shanwu asked with concern, "Sister Ruyue, you..."

Shen Ruyue knew what An Shanwu wanted to ask, and said with a smile, "The girl next to me is called Chu Qingzhi, she rescued me from the prison, and the two younger ones are Qingzhi's younger brothers."

Upon hearing this, Nie Huiyang quickly went to the house and brought two apples to Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao, "Eat, brother."

With Chu Qingzhi's consent, the two young boys took the apple into their hands, "Thank you uncle."

Nie Huiyang grinned with big white teeth, "What a polite boy."

Shen Ruyue secretly thought, just now Chu Qingzhi had been educating the two young children on the road, and the change was too fast, from a mountain child to a well-mannered child.

...

An Shanwu, Nie Huiyang, and Shen Ruyue are orphans who grew up together.

An Shanwu learned how to build a house from others when he was twelve years old. He was more flexible. At the age of twenty, he went out on his own and formed a construction team called Chaoyang Jianfang.

Nie Huiyang went to work as a servant for others, and when he learned that An Shanwu needed manpower, he came to help him.

Shen Ruyue has a sweet appearance, she went to a wealthy family to work as a maidservant, she learned to read and write secretly by virtue of her clever mind, she rose through the ranks, and became the wife's personal maid, but she didn't follow a good master.

The three of them talked about the past, and then began to talk about business.

Shen Ruyue unfolded the blueprint of the small bungalow and handed it to An Shanwu, "Brother Shanwu, Qing Zhi wants to build such a house, take a look."

An Shanwu took over the drawings and looked at them carefully.

A few minutes later, he said, "No problem, but it will take a little longer, and it will take at least two hundred taels to build this house."

Chu Qingzhi observed An Shanwu secretly. This person's eyes are straight, which means that he is not a treacherous person, and his temperament is calm, which means that he is not someone who likes to boast, "My budget is one thousand taels of silver."

An Shanwu couldn't help but look sideways, the girl in front of her was dressed as a peasant girl, and she said that she spent one thousand taels to build a house, was she joking with him?

An Shanwu said kindly, "Girl, may I say one more thing, what you just said was one thousand taels, not one hundred taels."

It's one hundred taels, and ordinary farmers can't afford it for a lifetime.

Shen Ruyue laughed, and reminded from the side, "Brother Shanwu, don't judge people by their appearance."

An Shanwu quickly explained, "I didn't mean to underestimate the girl, I just said that one thousand taels is too much..."

Shen Ruyue secretly thought, Qing Zhi's family now makes a net profit of more than one hundred taels a day, and one thousand taels only takes a few days, and Qing Zhi is about to start another business, which will definitely make a lot of money.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, I can get it out, it's just the materials for your house..."

An Shanwu understood what Chu Qingzhi meant, "Some of the materials for building the house were bought by us, and some were obtained locally. With such a big budget, we will definitely use the best materials."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "If that's the case, then you all come to see the site tomorrow and prepare for the construction."

An Shanwu was overjoyed, "Okay."

After discussing some details and finalizing some matters, Chu Qingzhi left with a few people.

...

County government.

The county town has been very quiet recently, and there are only some minor disturbances, so the county magistrate is very leisurely.

The master was also very free, he walked into the inner hall, "My lord, Chu Qingzhi is here to buy land."

The county magistrate paused while serving the tea, "Is that the smart girl who has the ability to catch the gods?"

Master nodded, "Yes."

The magistrate raised his face and thought for a while, "Where does she want to buy?"

The master said, "As far as the wasteland in their village is concerned, Chujia Village is a big village, but many people have developed and come to the county, and some have gone to the capital, so they are vacant."

The county magistrate pondered for a moment, "How big is the wasteland?"

The master replied, "It is two acres in size, and behind that piece of wasteland is a hill." (One mu of land is roughly equivalent to 1.5 basketball courts)

The county magistrate waved his hand, "Give it to her, make it a good deal, if this girl is needed one day, let's go hire someone, she won't refuse."

The county magistrate is a muddleheaded official, but he has always had a good eye for seeing people.

The master responded, "The villain will do it right away."

Chu Qingzhi came out from the county government office, holding two title deeds in her hand, one was for the wasteland and the other was for the hill behind the wasteland.

Shen Ruyue asked puzzledly, "Qingzhi, now that you buy the wasteland, do you also get the barren mountain next to it as a gift?"

Chu Qingzhi didn't know much about the ancient land system, so she couldn't answer this question, "Don't worry about it, it's all given away anyway, don't want it for nothing."

Shen Ruyue nodded in agreement, "That's the truth."

"Come on, let's go to the market."

Today Chu Qingzhi was going to invite Tang Jinghong to dinner, she planned to arrange it herself, and thanked Tang Jinghong for his help.

The general is very busy, so he deliberately took the time to support her, and she accepted it.

...

Camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

In the tent, Tang Jinghong was at his desk to deal with official business, which had been done all morning.

The soldier said at the door, "General, it's noon."

Tang Jinghong was extremely busy these two days, so he asked Xiaobing to remind him to go to Chu Qingzhi's house for dinner at noon.

He was particularly curious about what Chu Qingzhi would cook for him.

Hearing Xiaobing's voice, he put down his pen, moved his body, got up and walked outside the camp.

After holding it with one hand, he walked lightly and looked happy.

The soldiers passing by couldn't help but look at their generals, what's so good about this? The general who has been expressionless looks very happy.

One by one is very curious.
