Chapter 149 Buying a Mountain
Chapter 149 Buying Mountain
After Lu Xiangge left, Lu Quan ate without raising his head. When people talked to him, he just responded with a "hmm" and didn't say much.
The people who were originally talking to Lu Quan lost interest in chatting with him when they saw that he looked honest and honest, and started chatting with the people around him instead.
Such people, presumably, have no great future and don’t make friends with them.
The Lu family's ancestral hall is newly built, so it is naturally taller and more majestic than the previous one.
The blue bricks and black tiles, the vermilion walls, and the majestic gatehouse look solemn and solemn.
The door of the ancestral hall is very tall, and a long plaque hangs on the lintel with the words "Lu's Ancestral Hall" written in gold characters.
Lu Sheige stood at the door of the ancestral hall, looking at the tall ancestral hall of the Lu family, but the appearance of the Lu family village passed before his eyes.
The high walls stand tall, and the courtyard is lined with corridor gardens, pavilions, and waterside pavilions. It can be said that every step of the way leads to a view, which is so beautiful.
When the sun rises at noon, the glazed tiles of various colors are bright and dazzling under the sunlight, reflecting dazzling rays of light.
Who would have expected that in a blink of an eye the house collapsed, fires broke out, the door plaque of the Lu residence fell, and the horse's hooves trampled the word "Lu"...
Seeing a child looking at the door, a member of the Lu family immediately came over and shouted: "Whose child is this? Don't run around and go play."
Lu Xiangge glanced at the person who made the noise, then at Lu Quan who was sitting in the crowd eating, then turned around and ran to the east of the ancestral hall.
Xiaoyun Mountain can be seen to the east, and to the north of Xiaoyun Mountain is Dayun Mountain.
The two mountains are connected and stretch for more than ten miles.
In this mountain, there is a fairy cave, a horse drinking spring, and a piaoer well...
Various fairy tales are circulated among the villagers.
On the top of Dayun Mountain, in addition to Xianren Cave and Yinma Spring, there are also two tall ginkgo trees.
There is a male and a female. The tree is so tall that it takes three people to surround it.
The Lu family's ancestral tomb is on the hillside of Xiaoyun Mountain, and Lu Sheige knows that the Lu family has another tomb that needs paper burning on the top of Dayun Mountain.
It's right between Xianren Cave and Yinma Spring, opposite two ginkgo trees.
"Little Four."
Just when Lu Xiangge was still thinking about whether the ginkgo tree was in front or behind the Yinma Spring, Lu Quan's voice rang in his ears, "How about dad take you for a walk?"
Lu Quan asked this question a little cautiously.
He brought Xiaosi here because he wanted the child to burn some paper money to his parents in person, telling them that the child was still alive and well, so that they could rest assured.
Originally, Ms. Qiu was reluctant to let Xiao Si come with her, fearing that she would get emotional and the child would not be able to control her emotions and say the wrong thing, which would be bad for others to notice.
Besides, Xiaosi has been growing up in Lujiazhuang and is familiar with everyone in the clan. It would be troublesome for someone with sharp eyes to recognize Xiaosi.
But Xiaosi said he wanted to come and have a look.
When she said this, neither Lu Quan nor Qiu had anything to say to stop her.
If your child wants to go home and see what's wrong, just take a look.
The house has been occupied and a temple has been built, so the children are not allowed to come back to visit and burn some paper money for their parents to say that they are safe?
Seeing that the child had become lifeless since he came to Lujiazhuang, Lu Quan's heart ached for the child.
The father and son walked along the foot of Xiaoyun Mountain. After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, they could see the top of Dayun Mountain in front of them.
Lu Quan found an open space and stood still. He turned around and asked Lu Sheige behind him: "Shall we go back?"
Lu Sheige shook her head, stepped forward, and stood side by side with Lu Quan. She pointed at Dayun Mountain in front of her and said, "Dad, let's buy Dayun Mountain."
"Wha...what?"
As soon as Lu Sheige opened his mouth, Lu Quan was so frightened that he trembled: "Buy...buy...buy...a mountain?"
Buy an entire mountain?
Lu Quan was shocked by Lu Sheige's words. Didn't he say he wanted to buy a piece of land? Why did he say he wanted to buy a mountain?
He could barely scrape together the money to buy a piece of land, which was just one or two acres and twenty or thirty taels of silver.
But what Xiaosi wanted to buy was a mountain, and that was a mountain.
It doesn’t take more than one or two hundred taels of silver!
With that money, who can buy these barren hills and fertile farmland?
This mountain is really barren, with no towering trees and no fertile fields.
All kinds of wild trees grow wildly, and in some places the grass has reached the top of people's heads.
"Dad, how much money does it cost to buy Dayun Mountain?"
How much silver?
Lu Quan's mind seemed to be filled with chaos, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"It's... probably one or two hundred taels." Lu Quan hesitated for a moment, then continued, "How about dad go and ask?"
He has never bought a hilltop, but when he was working for others in Nanyang County, he had seen a hilltop bought by a wealthy family. The mountain was much higher than Dayun Mountain, and the trees on the mountain were lush and green.
It is said that such a mountain was purchased for three hundred taels of silver.
Dayun Mountain is far different from that mountain. It is a barren mountain with only weeds and trees. How much can it be sold for?
One or two hundred taels at most.
"Well, dad, let me ask." Lu Sheige looked at the barren mountains in front of him, his eyebrows slightly raised, "If you don't want Xiaoyun Mountain, you want this Dayun Mountain. If you buy it, we will circle it and no one will be allowed to go up the mountain."
"Circle it? Circle it for what?"
Lu Quan was a little dumbfounded. Can such a big mountain be circled?
Besides, there is nothing valuable except for trees and weeds on this mountain, and almost no one goes up there except those who gather herbs and collect firewood.
"Enclose the yard and build a house. When dad comes to Dongyang County to worship his ancestors, he won't have to rush back and can live in his own house." As he said that, Lu Sheige gestured with his hand, "Here we are.
At that time, let my mother, several sisters, and Xiaowu come."
Lu Quan looked at Lu Sheige, whose eyes were shining, and felt a little sour in his heart. How good this child was, and he was still thinking about his mother, her sisters and brothers.
How could God be willing to let such a good child lose her parents, brothers and home overnight?
"I want to build a big yard on the top of the mountain, behind the horse drinking pool. My father said that it is a geomantic treasure land, and the horse drinking pool is living water. Living on the mountain is better than living at the bottom of the mountain."
Lu Quan listened to Lu Shengge's words and vaguely understood in his heart that the reason why this child wanted to buy a hilltop and build a house was because she missed her parents.
This kid is pitiful. If you want to buy Shantou, just buy it. If you don’t have money now, you will always have it in the future.
Seeing Lu Quan nod, Lu Sheige urged again: "Dad, just go to the clan and ask how much money this hilltop will sell for."
Lu Sheige didn't tell Lu Quan in detail. The mountain hadn't been bought yet, so any more talk would just be an excuse.
She then reminded Lu Quan: "Back then, when my father bought the two mountains of Xiaoyun Mountain, he spent a total of 400 taels. At that time, he had to bargain with the clan. Two mountains were 400 taels, and one mountain was always cheaper.
some."
Lu Quan nodded frequently, feeling somewhat unexplainable in his heart.
He had no money in his pocket and was just talking nonsense. Even if the clan leader said he would sell it to him for one hundred taels of silver, he would still have to shell out the one hundred taels.
If the clan leader offers a high price and he can't counter-offer because he doesn't have the money, wouldn't he be teasing the clan leader if he refuses to sell it?
He said you leave this hilltop to me and I will buy it again in a few years or ten years when I have enough money.
He is probably going to be kicked out of Lujiazhuang, Dongyang County by the clan leader.
But She Ge wanted to buy this mountain. Even if Lu Quan didn't have money, he still wanted to ask.
Once he knows how much money he needs, he can have a goal and just save it slowly.
