Chapter 182 The courtyard is far-reaching

The name of the store "Shuanghuhui" was taken from Shuanglong Lake, where Shuanglong Village in Cangshan was located at that time. Originally, Su Minghai wanted to call it Shuanglonghui casually, but Matthew thought that the name was too eye-catching, so he abandoned the dragon character in the middle and changed its name to Shuanghuhui. Although Shuikou County is located in a mountainous area, there are also many lakes and ponds. There are two or three lakes in a village, and there are always 180 lakes. The name is deserted again, so naturally no one will pay attention. Su Minghai just searched all over the street to find the store agreed by the two parties at that time.

Juhua area has many battles and a small population. For those engaged in large-scale sales of local products, there are fewer guests. Su Minghai and others entered the door and found that there was only one guest inside. A clerk was weighing others, and another man in his forties hid behind the counter to settle accounts.

The man was extremely attentive. After sending the guest out, he quickly walked to Su Minghai and asked, "Dare to ask your husband what you want?"

He saw that Su Minghai was dressed in Confucian clothes, not like a businessman, and did not dare to be regarded as a guest official. Instead, he shouted at Mr.

"Haha, the elders in the family want to buy 147 catties and 6 taels of chestnuts. I wonder if you have any here?"

Chestnut is a specialty of Shuikou County, and most people buy it for dozens or hundreds. Although Su Minghai reported a six taels of false head, this guy only regarded the big family as something special and hurriedly said, "Yes, there are! Sir, our store is newly opened. When you stand the facade, don't worry and keep the bags.

The man in green robe behind suddenly said, "Sir is extraordinary. I'm afraid he has the identity of a scholar. Lao Liu, don't pretend to be here to take care of the store. Let me receive this gentleman. Chestnut is the most difficult to keep. No one dares to say that it is wrapped. There are always one or two rotten ones in it. After the man in green robe stopped the man from talking nonsense, he then said to Su Minghai:

"Sir, please come to the back room with me and give me a cup of tea. How about negotiating slowly?"

Su Minghai followed him in. Fred knew that it was going to be the interface. He was a little worried and followed him in, leaving six others outside and pestering the guy with words.

The green man was not in a hurry. He first served tea for Su Minghai and Fred in person, and then said:

"This chestnut is inevitably bad, but the goods here are really the best. Every ten catties of chestnuts, there are no more than two broken ones. If you need this number, how about buying another three catties and seven or two dollars?" After saying that, he stared at Su Minghai with a slightly excited look.

Su Minghai said, "It doesn't matter. It's just that I don't have enough money on me. I just brought a silver and three silver horns..."

The man heard this and immediately bowed and said, "Sure enough, the adult is here, Robin. Brandon, the second son of my father, has met an adult!"

Su Minghai quickly picked him up and asked with a smile, "How are Uncle Matthew? All three of you brothers are here. Are you used to living here?

As for Jin Xiaozhu, after all, he was a little tender-faced and still didn't ask.

Robin hurriedly said, "It's all the kindness of adults. After my parents were promoted to a higher level, now they are alive, just like a different person. Our three brothers brought their families together. It's all good. My father bought a single courtyard 70 miles east of Shuikou County, a place called Mao Lawn, with a vast area. In addition to the original thousand mu of manor, nearly 1,000 mu of new land has been opened, and even the farming wild tenants have gathered more than 70 households.

Although he said this, it was a brief situation for Su Ming's poster, but there was also some meaning to buy it for Matthew and his wife. Seeing that Su Minghai heard it with relish, he said:

"When I was in Taoling, I often did some small business, so my father asked me to take charge of this store and run things in Shuikou County. The boss is doing farm work and opens a field at home. My father also sent the third brother out to inquire about you, and he will be back soon. Are you going to the village now? Su Minghai nodded and said that several people ate a little and then went on the road.

......

From Shuikou County to Mao Lawn, there is a maple leaf stream connected with each other. On the hillsides on both sides, there are lush and endless maple forests, but now it is the beginning of August, and the maple leaves are not red, otherwise it will be a gorgeous scenery. Maple Leaf Creek is shallow, and it can only pass through bamboo rafts. It is okay to transport goods, and it is not very comfortable to sit. However, now Su Minghai and others have been tired of riding on the boat. They all have some skills, that is, Robin. Although they have no talent to practice martial arts, they have reached the peak of the third level early at such an old age. Ken and Jonny are also children who go up the mountain to collect firewood all year round and are used to walking on mountain roads. The journey was extremely fast. Later, Fred saw that Johnny was only 14 years old and walked a little gasping, so he simply put him on his back and walked quickly. Unexpectedly, they all arrived at the manor in the afternoon.

This manor seems to have been built by a retired bureaucrat. The whole building is built by mountains, facing east and west, with a huge pattern. Su Minghai took a rough look and saw that it covered an area of about ten mu. The whole building is grand, the combination is clever, and the structure is extremely rigorous. The entrance is a gate tower with a heavy eaves structure, which is luxuriously decorated. The stone wall base is engraved with flower and black animal reliefs, and the facades are made of carved bricks. There are not only huge wood components such as columns, combs and bucket arches, but also a large number of decorative patterns such as "fishing woodwork reading" and "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting".

In it, Matthew and his wife and Jin Xiaozhu have learned that Su Minghai was coming. After a few steps, they saw two old men and this gorgeous woman hurried out. Matthew and others were a little worried that Su Minghai would send them here and leave them alone. Now when they see him here, they are so happy and unspeakable. He shouted, "Your Excellency! Your Excellency! You're finally here!"

Su Minghai also smiled and held Matthew's hands and introduced Fred and others one by one. Matthew also stayed in Cangshan for a while and had heard of Fred's name. The old couple are both silver, and now they are even happier to see that most of Fred and others are of the same kind.

When Fred saw these two white-haired high-level soldiers, he was worried. You should know that there are often only three or four high-level soldiers in a county, but Matthew and his wife lived in seclusion for fifteen or six years. In the past, they also worked in order to be secret and did not leak the wind. Fred had never heard of these two masters, so he was inevitably frightened. However, it is naturally much happier to see that Su Minghai has such a subordinate. It's just that in front of Matthew and his wife, it's just a formality.

Several people entered, and there were actually five large buildings along the way. During this period, Matthew was busy creating a foundation and waiting for a lot of waste, so he didn't even change the old plaque. Such as "circle blocking spring" and "Zhilan's entry into the room" were still hanging on. The courtyard is full of calamus and Bauhinia roses, and there are stones in the garden, and there are also good structures.

When he arrived at the main hall, Matthew respectfully asked Su Minghai to sit on the top. Seeing that Lin Shii, Lipost, Kino and the two children were a little tired, Su Minghai asked Matthew to take him down to rest. Jin Xiaozhu always treated himself as a maid in front of Su Minghai. Seeing that they had something to say, he said, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid you're a little hungry when you've come all the way. I'm going down to fix some snacks." Then retreat.

There were only five people left in the room, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew, Fred, Jerry and Robin. Soon Jin Xiaozhu brought some food and retreated back. Matthew and others ate some, and then stood under Su Minghai:

"Your Excellency, this house is the manor of Mr. Ye, an official. His son is now a senior official in Pingshan, so the whole family has passed away. Seeing that the house is still tidy, the little old man spent 130 gold coins to buy it. There are more than 1,000 mu of fertile land in the valley outside, which saves a lot of trouble."

"Only 17 of the family's tenants have also moved, leaving 34 households, but the tenants are difficult to find. The little old man dares not call people at will. So far, he has only selected 68 good families... During these days, they have also opened some fields, and now it has accumulated more than 2,000."

Su Minghai just came along the way and found that there were not many acres of land. Instead, flowers and bamboo were planted on the hillside outside. The scenery was excellent. Seeing what valley Ma Xiu said that the fields were in, he asked, "Oh? Aren't the fields here?"
