Chapter 112: House and Land



Gu Xinran wondered why her elder brother had become so stingy. "Not much, not much. The things my uncle gave me are so good. We can't be stingy."

Brother Gu was anxious. This silly sister said, "It's not that I don't want to send it off, it's just that we don't have such a big wine jar in our luggage."

Ah, Gu Xinran woke up instantly!

Alas, good days are coming, and people are a little proud. The secret of the space cannot be leaked. I am a mean person and hurried to make amends. "Brother, you are right. Who would bring so much wine when fleeing from famine? We will give you a jar of ten kilograms as a token of our appreciation."

Brother Gu smiled and nodded.

The two returned to the dining hall, and Gu Yuchen first handed ten kilograms of tiger bone wine to his uncle.

Duan Qingyan opened it, took a sniff, and quickly closed it, closing his eyes with a look of enjoyment. "Ranran, this medicinal wine of yours is truly amazing! After drinking it last night, I felt refreshed all over! Yunchi brought a few jars for your grandfather. After he drank them, his old ailments were alleviated. These should be kept for him as well."

Seeing how her uncle treasured the wine, Gu Xinran smiled. When giving something, you have to give the person what he needs. But with a good niece like her, how could her uncle not satisfy his craving?

He patted his chest and said to his uncle, "No need to keep it for yourself. Drink it yourself. I'm here to take care of my grandfather's medicinal wine in the future!"

The general's mouth curled up and the word "good" came out of his mouth.

Duan Yunchi stared at Gu Xinran, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction, "Ranran, you are hiding something. Last time you said there was nothing left, but now it comes out again when you come to your uncle!"

Gu Xinran glared at him and said, "I gave you quite a bit last time, didn't I? Don't worry, I'll make a large batch soon, and you'll be able to get it for free in the future."

Duan Qingyan has been feeling more and more disgusted with his nephew these past two days, especially since Yuanyuan has been found. This face is of no use anymore. "My uncle is not as close to me as my cousin. Ranran, let's ignore him."

Gu Xinran nodded silently and took out other prepared things.

I focused on introducing the super-quality ginseng and antler pills and told him to keep them close to his body as they could save his life in times of crisis.

Duan Qingyan had heard of the miraculous effects of this medicine. His unfortunate nephew had boasted to him many times about it, saying that even the emperor and the crown prince had recovered thanks to it. He hadn't expected to find it himself this time, and there were so many varieties. Alas, the house deeds and land deeds were too few.

He quickly took it, put it away, and thanked Gu Xinran.

Duan Yunchi saw the medicines he didn't have, and he felt itchy in his heart, so he came out to show his presence again, "Ranran, we are the closest, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other."

After saying that, he glanced at his uncle and whispered, "Don't worry, when you get married, I will give you a better dowry."

Gu Xinran was helpless with this self-indulgent cousin and said helplessly: "What's the big wedding? I'm still a child. Brother Yunchi, you don't need to fight in the battlefield, so you won't need medicine or anything like that.

However, if you can show us around the house and the farm, and get me some strong liquor, I might consider giving you two bottles of ginseng and antler pills."

"Leave it to me. Wait, what's a degree?"

"Oh, it's strong liquor. The stronger the better. Alas, the liquor nowadays is too weak. When I have time, I'll build a distillation device and purify the liquor first. This way, the medicinal liquor I make will taste better."

"Ran Ran, you are amazing. Where did you learn that? I will take care of getting the wine."

"I read it in a book."

Duan Qingyan, who had collected the gifts, saw that the two were chatting endlessly and interrupted them, saying, "Stop chatting, let's go and change our household registration and transfer the house and land deeds."

The crowd sat in three carriages and headed towards the government office in a mighty procession.

When setting off, Gu Yuchen squeezed onto his uncle's carriage and expressed his ideal of joining the army to defend his country and bring glory to his family.

Duan Qingyan likes ambitious young people the most. When the ambitious person turns out to be his nephew, he is in an even better mood. He decides on the spot that he will take him to the military camp for training starting today.

If he is really suitable for the job and the Gu family is willing to let him go, then he can officially join the army.

Brother Gu couldn't help but feel happy and was extremely excited along the way.

They soon arrived at the government office. With the general present, all the procedures went very smoothly and were completed in less than two quarters of an hour.

Looking at the newly released household registration and the house deeds and land deeds with Gu's mother's name on them, everyone felt relieved. Finally, they had their own home again.

Gu Yuchen told his elders about his decision. Although they were reluctant to let their child suffer and take risks, they also did not want to hinder his positive steps. With his uncle protecting him, they let him spread his wings and fly.

Duan Qingyan was busy with military affairs and had no time to accompany them to continue looking at houses and land. After witnessing the exciting moment of his sister changing her name, he hurried away with Gu Yuchen.

After watching them walk away, Gu Xinran clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention back. "My uncle made our mother a small landlord, and I will make all of us big landlords. Let's go buy houses and land."

Little Tingting was the first to respond, "Okay, I want to be a landlord too. What is a landlord? Can you eat it?"

Xuanxuan looked at his lovely sister, took her hand and explained seriously, "Landlords can't eat, but after becoming a landlord, you can eat whatever you want."

Tingting rolled her big, dark eyes, looking at her little brother and then at her sister, "That's great, can Tiantian and Yuanyuan also be the landlords?"

This reminded Gu Xinran that the Qingshan villagers had to find a good place to settle, preferably next to the Gu family's farm, so that the grandparents could live happier with familiar people.

How can we bring the whole village together and plant the land together?

I thought about it over and over but couldn't find a solution.

Looking at Tingting's eyes full of expectation, he gently pinched her chubby smiling face and said with a smile, "Sure, you can be a small landlord."

After coaxing the child, they got back on the carriage.

This time, Gu Xinran and Duan Yunchi were in the same car, leading the way.

She found that Duan Yunchi's carriage was full of account books. She read them while traveling, shaking her head as she read, with a look of despair on her face.

Being so hardworking is not his style!

I couldn't help but snatch the account book from his hand and put it on the small table. "What's so urgent? We can't waste even this little time in the carriage."

Duan Yunchi clutched his chest and sighed, "Mingzhan is such a jerk! There are so many boxes of account books like this, and I have three days to check them all. I can't finish it even if I work all night."

Gu Xinran picked up the book on the small table. Tsk, she felt dizzy after reading all the capital traditional Chinese numbers. She insisted on reading two pages and kept shaking her head.

I miss the tables and Arabic numerals from my previous life. They were simple, intuitive and clear at a glance, and it would be a good idea to promote them here.

Seeing that my cousin is dying, I should do a good deed and save him.

Duan Yunchi saw his cousin also shaking her head, as if to find a confidant, "It's hard to check, the problem is that there are hundreds of books. How about you help me beg for mercy and give me some time? He is such a ruthless person, treating his brothers like cattle."

Hearing him speak ill of Xiao Mingzhan, he couldn't stand it, so he said calmly, "He's not wrong, it's you who can't. Give me an assistant, and I can finish the investigation in two days."

Duan Yunchi's eyes sparkled, a pair of peach blossom eyes that were exactly the same as Gu's mother's, staring at Gu Xinran intently, "Really?! I'll be your assistant, cousin. Please have some pity on me and come and help me."

Seeing how excited he was, as if he had just found a life-saving straw, Gu Xinran nodded reluctantly, "Take us to look at houses and land first, and then I'll teach you the method when we get back."
