Chapter 90 Xin Baoer is a lucky little star

Xinbao turned his head and blinked his big, confused eyes.

The villagers nearby were so anxious that they almost died. More than one person said, "Let the little girl tell you. What does she know?"

"That's right, such a big matter, let a child make the decision!"

The third brother was not happy, "This stone was found by Xinbao, and Xinbao asked him to bring it back. If Xinbao doesn't tell the truth, who will?"

Villagers: “…”

It’s true. What can I say? I can’t help but accept it. I’m just so blessed!

Xinbao thought about it seriously and asked, "Does Dad like it?"

Tang Qingshan nodded, "I like it."

"Then I won't sell it!" Xinbao waved his hand without hesitation: "Daddy likes it, let's put it at home and let Daddy see it!!"

Tang Qingshan smiled and said to Yuan Yaogui: "Then don't sell it, Sanlang, let's move."

The third brother responded.

Yuan Yaogui didn't insist: "Well, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. This thing is rare. It will look really nice if I put a stand on it when the time comes."

Tang Qingshan nodded, stepped back a few steps, and handed his daughter to Madam Lin: "Yuan Xiaolang, it's getting late, let's go quickly."

Everyone continued to discuss, and someone remembered to ask: "Brother Qingshan, where did this guest come from?"

Tang Qingshan said: "He is not a guest of my house, but a city dweller who wants to buy a house. I will take him to the clan leader."

"Oh!" someone asked, "Are you from the city? Why did you want to buy a house in our village?"

Yuan Yaogui smiled and said, "Your village has a good terrain. My brother is not well-off, so he wants to find a place with beautiful scenery to recuperate. He has looked at several places, and your village has a good terrain. It is not too far from the county town, so it is quite suitable."

"That's right. I heard people say that the terrain of our village is a blessed place... Among all the villages in this area, our village has the best feng shui."

Everyone walked forward while talking. A few of them followed all the way to the clan leader's house, but most of them dispersed after walking a few steps.

They were eager to tell this gossip to others! The little girl of the Tang family picked up a stone and brought it back. The whole village laughed at her, and some people even said that she spoiled her child... But what happened! What she picked up was not a stone, but gold! The outsider immediately offered to buy it for 100 taels! !

For two days in a row, many people talked about this matter, but others just talked about it, only Tang Shitou and his wife were so upset that they couldn't sleep all night! They went there first! He was the first to think of this matter. He and his wife went there early in the morning and walked around under the tree for several times. If they couldn't eat the snake meat, they couldn't eat it. The stone was right at their feet, but they didn't see it! One hundred taels of silver were gone just like that!

Even if I comfort myself, I, a country boy, don’t know what nugget gold is. Even if I put it in front of me, I can’t recognize it… He deserves not to make this fortune! But I still feel aggrieved! I feel sour! I can’t eat or sleep because of the sour food!

But after this happened, most people in the village believed that Xinbaoer was indeed a little lucky star!

Since the child woke up, it has been easier for the Tang family to make money than picking fruits from trees! They can't help but accept it! ! For a child like this, they are willing to support him, not to mention spoiling him! Many people in the village went up the mountain and began to look at the stone. Some of them actually moved it home, not to mention that there were people who went home every day to look at the stone carefully, hoping to find it in the same way.

The next day, construction on the new house continued.

As for Yuan Yaogui and his family, they asked the clan leader to take the lead and bought the new house next door to their third uncle's house.

The house of my third uncle was also newly built last year. There are many people in his family, so the main house is made of bricks and tiles, and the kitchen outside is made of earth bricks, but the place is large and bright.

It cost less than one hundred taels to build it. I heard that the Yuan family bought it for three hundred taels, which was enough to build a new house. The third uncle was very happy and moved out of the house. He packed up his things and moved out overnight. Several sons went to live temporarily at their parents-in-law's house. The old couple also found an empty house with no owner to live in first, and then they also arranged to buy land and build a new house.

Moreover, the Yuan family was obviously not short of money. They also bought the residential land next to the new house. In the afternoon of the same day, they gathered a group of people to start the work and renovate the yard first.

Yuan Yaogui came to Tang Qingshan to discuss, "We are not familiar with this place. This house will take at least three or four months longer to build than yours. Can you help find more people and even provide us with food? When you finish building, we can continue to use it. Money is also negotiable."

Madam Lin said, "We estimate that this house will be finished in the winter. If you still want to continue building, firstly, it will be difficult to build in the freezing cold weather, and secondly, the shed will be drafty and uninhabitable. We have to plan these things in advance."

Yuan Yaogui thought about it and said, "Then...if you guys stop, should we stop too? Let's continue with the construction in the spring?"

Madam Lin smiled and said, "Let me ask you one more question. Don't be offended, Yuan Xiaolang. Why do you have to come to our remote countryside to build a house? It would be more convenient to live in the county town."

Yuan Yaogui smiled bitterly, "I am a very vulgar person, so it is difficult for me to answer this question. You can tell me how comfortable it is to live in the capital city, where there is everything. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I can just ride a horse out for a stroll occasionally, but you don't know how twisted the old man at home is... Let me tell you this, I have built at least eight such villages and houses if not ten, and I will stay there for a while wherever I feel like."

After he said this, Mrs. Lin's doubts were somewhat relieved.

Yuan Yaogui said, "But now that you put it that way, it's fine. Let's do it this way. We have dozens of people here. I'll give you twenty taels of silver a day. When you finish building, we'll stop too. Maybe they'll leave in the spring, so there's no need to build anymore."

Madam Lin looked at Tang Qingshan.

Tang Qingshan hesitated for a moment, "Did you just hire this bricklayer team casually? Or are they acquainted with you?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"I'm not familiar with him," Yuan Yaogui said, "I just asked around and invited him."

Tang Qingshan agreed: "There's no need for twenty taels. If the food is the same as ours, three taels a day will be enough."

"That won't work," Yuan Yaogui said, "It's not just the rice, flour, meat and vegetables, but the worry and effort also cost money. I'll give you ten taels a day."

After a while of hesitation, the two sides agreed on five taels of silver per day, and Yuan Yaogui bowed and left.

Madam Lin moved closer to Tang Qingshan and whispered, "He's like a young man who doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are."

Tang Qingshan shook his head: "No, he is quite smart and deliberately uses this appearance to scare people."

Madam Lin was surprised: "Why? Then why did you agree?"

"I don't know why," Tang Qingshan said, "It has nothing to do with us anyway. We are neighbors and can't get rid of it. So I might as well do a favor."

Madam Lin nodded: "Okay."

She turned back and told those people to call a few more people. Immediately, someone slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, it's good to move them in! Yuan Xiaolang, move in. I want him to help look after the stones!"

Many people laughed and said, "You don't have a little lucky star in your family, so how can you have a golden stone?"

The man also laughed: "Isn't it time to dream? If it turns out not to be true, I'll give up."

Everyone was joking, but in fact, more than one person had the same idea. Yuan Yaogui was also very easy to talk to. Whenever someone asked him to look, he would go over and show them, while also teaching them some ways to do it.

As a result, just two days later, I heard that the Yuan family had bought Pagoda Mountain.

The clan leader even specially summoned all the villagers and told them that they were not allowed to go up the mountain casually in the future, because the entire mountain, including the grass and trees, belonged to someone else.

This side is actually a group of mountains. There is a long and pointed mountain in the middle, shaped like a pagoda, so it is called Pagoda Mountain... There are a large number of undulating mountains around it, some high and some low. The Yuan family bought all the mountains.
