The big tree has withered branches, that is, Zhen Liang is a person who doesn't have much ability, relying on his own little cleverness to be idle, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but this kind of person generally has a bottom line when doing things, and he will not lie to his family as a last resort, if he hadn't been cleaned up by the Zhen family earlier.

Zhen Qian took out a few gold coins from his arms and put them on the table, "If you are short on money, take this money for emergencies, and I can only help you so much."

Zhen Liang hesitated, but still put the gold coins on the table into his arms, "Thank you, Dalang!" ”

"Dalang, can you tell me, how did you find out that I was lying to you?"

"Isn't it a little unwilling?"

Zhen Liang nodded: "This title deed is true, you can go to the government to check, I didn't expect it to be planted here!" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, I believe you can't do anything about the title deed, but it is precisely because of this real title deed that you have exposed the loophole of your cheating?"

"Oh, you say come and hear it?" Zhen Liang looked at the title deed in his hand over and over again, and didn't think there was any problem.

"Your title deed is new, this is a loophole", Zhen Qian said in a good time: "The new title deed shows that it was an ownerless wasteland before, not bought and sold from others, and is there still such land in Yanshan, Cangzhou?" If there is, it can only be saline-alkali wasteland that cannot be planted by the sea, such land is not wanted at all, five acres can be sold is always good, the 6,000 acres of saline-alkali land in your hands are probably directly purchased from the government at a very low price, and then use these wastelands that no one wants as collateral, you don't even think about paying back, am I right? ”

Zhen Liang gave a thumbs up and said, "Amazing!" I'm convinced, I heard that Da Lang's business in Luquan County is very prosperous, I was a little unconvinced at first, but now I listen to your explanation, I have nothing to say! ”

Zhen Liang just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhen Qian and said, "Do you want to use these wastelands to continue to deceive people?" ”

Zhen Liang was a little unwilling and said: "Since you just said, I will go back and find someone to make a sales contract, I don't believe that these 6,000 acres of wasteland can't be sold at a good price?" ”

"Thirteen Lang, do you want to cheat like this for the rest of your life?"

"What else can you do if you don't lie?" Zhen Liang didn't feel anything wrong at all and said: "I'm not like you, I'm the eldest son of the second room of the Zhen family, and you still have an official body, it's convenient to do anything, if I have money in the future and move out of the Zhen family, it will definitely not be worse than what you do!" ”

Zhen Qian smiled inexplicably: "I have ambition, I hope you can fulfill your promise, but now I ask you, how much did you spend on these 6,000 acres of wasteland?" ”

"What? Da Lang wants these 6,000 acres of wasteland? ”

"You can say that, but it depends on your price?"

"A thousand acres, these 6,000 acres of wasteland are yours", Zhen Liang put the title deed in front of Zhen Qian.

Zhen Qian shook his head and made no sound.

"Eight hundred...... Couldn't go any lower! ”

"Six hundred...... This is the price I originally bought, and I don't earn you a penny! ”

“……”

"Da Lang, we are brothers, I can still lie to you, you can say a price!"

Zhen Qian stretched out three fingers and said, "Three hundred times, I don't want any consistency!" ”

"You ......", Zhen Liang turned around and left, just took a few steps, saw that Zhen Qian did not react, turned around and sat back beside Zhen Qian, "Four hundred guan, I have a busy time with my friends, how can I make a little money, you won't embarrass me!" ”

"Okay!" Zhen Qian thought for a while and said: "After the New Year, you go to Luquan County to find Wang Po, transfer the title deed to Wang Po, and then take Wang Po to the saline-alkali land to see!" ”

"Lady Wang!" Zhen Liang's face twitched, as if he was very afraid of Wang Po, but finally nodded in agreement.

After having lunch in Zhenjia Village, Zhen Qian and his entourage returned to Zhending County, but did not go back to Zhen's house directly, but came to Meng Xiaoya's tofu shop.

The door of the tofu shop is deserted, the door of the shop is guarded by the iron general, usually the shops will not open for business in the New Year, and the emphasis is on not opening for three days before the New Year, and it will not open until the fourth day of the new year.

Meng Xiaoya walked to the door, and knocked on the door with anxiety, "Bang bang!" ”

After a long time, the door opened a crack, a teenage girl, a round goose egg face, combed on the head of the naughty double bun, this is the poor unmarried woman often combed hairstyle, the hair is gathered at the top, and then divided into two strands up each into a small bun, the bun is decorated with beads, emerald flowers and other things.

"Erya!"

"Sister!" The little girl behind the door exclaimed, turned around and shouted into the door: "Daddy, sister is back!" ”

Meng Xiaoya looked back and smiled apologetically, and pulled Erya's face, "It's only been a day, don't you want me to enter the door?" ”

Erya stuck out her tongue and made a grimace at Meng Xiaoya, and suddenly saw a few people standing behind Meng Xiaoya, and looked at her curiously, "Sister, who are they?" ”

"Is this your brother-in-law? It's a New Year's greeting to my parents! A touch of shyness flashed on Meng Xiaoya's face, and Zhen Qian proposed to think of the Meng family to pay New Year's greetings to the second elder, which made Meng Xiaoya almost cry with excitement.

"Who's coming, Erya...... Who do you talk to at the door and don't invite anyone in? ”

An old voice came from inside the door.

"It's my sister back!"

Erya let Meng Xiaoya and Zhen Qian in, Zhen Qian looked at the small courtyard, this is the first time he has come to Meng Xiaoya's house, neither he nor the Zhen family has a good face for Meng Xiaoya's family, it was Meng Xiaoya who made Zhen Qian amnesia, if it weren't for the fact that the Meng family really couldn't come up with any money to compensate, they wouldn't have made Meng Xiaoya a concubine.

The courtyard is not big, only one enters, the front is the main hall, there is an old man in his fifties standing at the door, there is a bamboo stick in his hand, he is bent over his back and looks at the few people who walked into the door, there is no trace of joy on his face.

"Is Xiaoya back?"

A woman in her forties walked out of the next room, dressed in linen clothes, with a torn apron tied around her waist, holding a blowpipe in her hand, and a faint black ash remained on her face.

"Dad, mother...... I'm back, I'm coming to see you", Meng Xiaoya said with a crying voice, which made Zhen Qian's heart sour.

"It's Xiaoya back, okay...... It's good to be back! ”

Meng Mu also found a few people behind Meng Xiaoya, the clothes on their bodies were bright, which made Meng Mu feel uncomfortable, "Who are these people!" ”

"It's Zhen Dalang, I'm here to pay my parents' New Year's greetings!"

Zhen Qian stepped forward and made a gesture to the second elder, "Uncle Meng, Mother Meng, Zhen Dalang has given you New Year's greetings", and asked Xiaomei and Wang Peng to hand over the prepared gifts to Erya.

"Zhen Dalang?" The two old men looked Zhen Qian up and down, "It's the eldest man of the Zhen family!" ”

Zhen Qian's son-in-law is a little incompetent, not only does Zhen Qian not know Meng Xiaoya's parents, but Meng Xiaoya's parents don't know Zhen Qian, but this is not strange in ancient times, Meng Xiaoya is a concubine, or the government judges, even the Zhen family does not treat Meng Xiaoya as a concubine, so naturally they even save the door.
