Mrs. Zhen wanted to persuade Mingxiu to stay when she left.

She felt that her house was big enough anyway, so even if Mingxiu's family all moved in, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But when he opened his mouth to try to stay, Xie Zhan's words scared him back.

"I respect you as my elder, and the Zhen family is also my concubine's mother's family, but this is by no means the reason or bargaining chip for the Zhen family to take action against the people I care about. Don't think that I will not touch the Zhen family."

This was the first time since Xie Zhan grew up that he spoke to Mrs. Zhen in the tone of a regent.

It really scared the old man.

Master Zhen's ability can only be considered average, and the Zhen family has not had any outstanding descendants in recent years. Why can they still be among the second-rate families in the capital?

Ultimately, it was because the Zhen family had a daughter who was well-liked and a grandson named Xie Zhan.

Without these two strong backings, the Zhen family would have been eaten up by those ambitious children of the aristocratic family.

In the final analysis, they were so nice to Mingxiu because they wanted to win over Xie Zhan.

What Xie Zhan said today...

Thinking about what Master Zhen wanted to do a few days ago, Mrs. Zhen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Did he discover something?

Or has Mr. Zhen already taken action?!

Mrs. Zhen did not dare to speak to Xie Zhan anymore, and could only watch him leave in silence with Mingxiu's luggage.

With Xie Zhan, Mingxiu truly knew what extraordinary treatment was.

The so-called care taken by the Zhen family can really only be regarded as being polite.

If Mingxiu hadn't refused to comply, Xie Zhan would have handed her the key to the palace's warehouse and let her take whatever she wanted.

However, Mingxiu did not have too many unclear financial transactions with Xie Zhan, so she did not accept Xie Zhan's request.

This actually made the housekeeper take a high look at Ming Xiugao.

Others didn't know what the key to the palace's warehouse meant, but he knew it.

In previous years, basically all the tributes sent to the palace to be selected for Concubine Zhen had to be reviewed before Xie Zhan's eyes.

Therefore, many of Xie Zhan's private treasury are rare treasures that are hard to find in the world. It can be said that they cannot be measured by money.

Mingxiu can refuse such a large amount of wealth, which at least shows that this girl is not a person who regards wealth as her life.

This alone can win him a lot of favor.

In fact...

Does Mingxiu know what Xie Zhan's warehouse means?

She didn't know.

Not only Mingxiu felt that it was not good to live in Xie Zhan's house all the time, but Ming's father and mother also thought so.

Therefore, the family went non-stop to look for a place to settle.

Unfortunately, the land in the capital was expensive, and the price of Zhuangzi they wanted was not something they could afford.

In the end, there was no other choice. Mingxiu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. After discussing with his parents, he spent 800 taels of silver to buy a village in the northern suburbs.

It occupies a large area, with seventy-eight acres of farmland alone, but the houses in which they live are somewhat old.

But the whole family thinks this is good.

Although the purchase of Zhuangzi and the food that the family needed to eat for a year had almost emptied their pockets, as long as they had land, money could always be saved little by little.

What satisfies Mingxiu the most is that all the land in this Zhuangzi is surrounded by walls, so that no matter what they plant in the land and how they want to do it, it is their own business, and no one can point out anything.

This is very good.

"Dad, Mom, let's move in now."

On the day the house transfer was completed, Mingxiu took her parents to buy all the daily necessities.

After cooking a meal myself and thanking Xie Zhan for the hospitality, they officially moved!

Originally Xie Zhan wanted to retain him, but thinking about it, he must have been busy during this period, leaving Mingxiu and his family to live in the palace. Even if he didn't care, the matter spread to the palace.

There's no guarantee that his mother won't care.

The most troublesome relationship among relatives is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mingxiu's identity was enough to give Xie Zhan a headache as to how to convince his mother to agree to the marriage. But Concubine Zhen couldn't let her think Mingxiu was a shameless girl before she knew how good Mingxiu was.

The first impression is very important. If it is formed, you may need to work ten times or a hundred times to change it later.

Moved into Zhuangzi happily.

The house was mostly tidied up at the front, and then there was a knock on the door at the back.

Mingxiu and her mother looked at each other.

"I'll open the door."

Who will come at this time?

Mingxiu couldn't understand. Their family didn't know many people in the capital, let alone those who came to visit them.

What's more, no one except Xie Zhan knew that they were moving today.

After opening the door, there was a strange old man standing at the door.

"you are……"

The old man rubbed his hands and said, "I am the head of this village. Your family just moved here today? I don't know if you are busy or not. If there is anyone who can help, please let me know."

village head?

Mingxiu was a little surprised. There were many houses around, but there were also many villages around. It could be seen that they were villas belonging to wealthy families. She thought that the people living nearby were all tenant farmers of wealthy families. The village

She didn't expect it to exist for a long time.

But since he is the village chief, he is also an official. Their family will have to make a living under this village chief in the future.

Ask the village chief to wait while Mingxiu goes back to find his father to come forward.

And she was listening on the sidelines.

According to the village chief, this place is called Peony Village. The ancestors were all refugees who fled home. Since they did not have the money to go home, they could only open up wasteland and settle down near the capital. When there were more people, it naturally became a village.

It seems that the conditions of this Peony Village are not as good as those of the previous Tubao Village. You can tell by looking at the clothes of the village chief.

All this was also confirmed in the words of the village chief.

Despite the efforts of our ancestors to open up wasteland, there is still a small amount of land in Mudan Village. In the final analysis, this is because the cost of land reclamation is too high.

Many people only have one or two acres of land at home, which is just enough for their own food. If they want to protect themselves from the cold in winter, they still have to work as tenant farmers for rich families. Even if the rent is a bit high, they still have some income.

Mingxiu felt very strange. Xie Zhan handed over the low-cost land reclamation method a year ago. Logically speaking, it should be the first to be popularized around the capital. Why does the head of Peony Village seem to have no idea at all?

Not only Mingxiu, Ming's father also found it very strange.

But in front of the village chief, no one asked.

The main purpose of the village chief's visit this time is to see what kind of family the newly moved people are like, what their family background is, and whether they are easy to get along with.
