After The Divorce, I Became the Favorite of the Powerful Ministers

Xiao Hanzheng took Shi Qingluo's hand and walked from the house to the patriarch's house.

When you meet people in the village along the way, you will greet them politely.

It is precisely because after he was admitted to the scholar, he did not change his attitude towards everyone and became arrogant, so he had a good reputation in the village.

Everyone didn't feel that Xiao Hanzheng was very distant, and they were very happy to talk to him.

After the two walked away, the villagers gathered together to talk.

"Don't say it, Xiao Xiucai and his daughter-in-law have a really good relationship."

"His daughter-in-law looked like she was capable, and she woke him up with joy when she arrived at their house, and she took their family to make tofu for a living. I like this lucky girl when she comes to my house."

"The key is to stand up, not afraid of being bullied by the old Xiao family, like Kong's, Xiao Xiucai is not at ease when going to school and exams."

"After all, he is the apprentice of the old fairy, how could he be caught by the people of the Xiao family's old house."

"Xiao Xiucai is also lucky, to find such a daughter-in-law, it looks like the two of them are a good match."

The impression of Shi Qingluo and the villagers is also very good.

Especially the one who made money selling tofu these days, all his good words were spoken about her.

On the other side, Xiao Hanzheng dragged Shi Qing into the patriarch's house.

The patriarch smiled and asked his daughter-in-law to serve tea to the two.

Seeing Xiao Hanzheng's recovery, he was very happy.

He asked concernedly, "What are you going to do next?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied with a smile: "I want to go to the county school to continue studying, and try it out in a year."

The patriarch is very optimistic about Xiao Hanzheng, "I support this."

"You go to the county school, and I and other clan elders will take care of your home."

Their Xiao clan had also made scholars and officials in the previous dynasty, but unfortunately, after the establishment of the new dynasty, only two young talents and Xiao Hanzheng came out.

The two boys didn't seem to have any drama, but Xiao Hanzheng's potential was unlimited.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and thanked, "Thank you for the care of the patriarch. If Hanzheng can go to a high place in the future, he will definitely remember everyone's help and give back to the Xiao family."

Compared with many villages, the Xiao family in their Xiaxi Village is really good.

To be replaced by the patriarch and Lizheng of the next village, because of his status as a scumbag, it would be fine not to take the lead in rejecting their family, let alone taking care of them.

The patriarch smiled, "It's good if you have a heart."

He will not pretend to say that Xiao Hanzheng will reach a high position in the future, and he will not need to support the Xiao family.

The reason why he took care of Xiao Hanzheng's family so much was not only because he liked this young man very much and he was a fellow clan, but also because of his potential.

It is very likely that he will lead the Xiao family out in the future.

After sitting and chatting for a while, Xiao Hanzheng said, "Patriarch, we are here today to buy land."

The patriarch was stunned, "Buy the land? Could it be that you want to buy the old Xiao family's land? I suggest you not to buy that."

He doesn't agree with this.

The old Xiao family is very difficult to deal with. After buying the land, if the other party returns to the village in the future, they don't know how they will make trouble.

Xiao Hanzheng's heart warmed. The patriarch has treated him very well for the past two generations, and other people would not have such straightforward advice.

He smiled and replied, "It's not the old Xiao's land, we want to buy the bamboo forest near the river, plus the barren hills behind."

The patriarch was a little inexplicable, "Why did you buy that mountain? It's only suitable for growing bamboo, and there's no way to open up wasteland."

Xiao Hanzheng said truthfully: "We bought it to build a new house."

The patriarch thought for a while and said, "Although that mountain is not very useful, if you want to buy it, the cheapest price should be 34 silver."

That is a mountain that belongs to no owner. To buy and handle the mountain deed, you have to go to the county office.

He didn't think that Xiao Hanzheng's family sold tofu for such a short period of time, and they could have so much money to buy a mountain and build a house.

Xiao Hanzheng said truthfully: "The Wu family took a fancy to the things left by her master in my wife's hand, and spent 600 taels to buy them, so we have enough money now."

With the temperament of the Wu family, this matter could not be concealed.

When Shi Lao Si took the little black ball and traded it, the Wu family must have taken the initiative to release the news of 600 taels to them, and wanted them to be remembered.

It would be better for them to say it themselves and spend the money on the bright side.

The patriarch was astonished. He really didn't expect that Dalang's daughter-in-law still had such valuable things in his hands.

"That's fine. I'll go ask you tomorrow and let you know when I have an answer."

The old house is indeed too dilapidated, and the new one is good.

Xiao Hanzheng thanked him with a smile, "Trouble you are old!"

After sitting for a while, the two left.

On the other hand, the Wu family got six small black balls from Shi Lao Si.

On the surface, the fourth child was very polite, and even packed some unused fabrics for him to take away.

After the people left, the head of the Wu family and the eldest young master of the Wu family called the nanny over.

"Look, is this the little black ball that Shi Qingluo used to threaten you before?"

The old mama stepped forward and took a closer look, "Yes, this is it."

Master Wu suggested, "Father, let's try the power first."

Patriarch Wu nodded, "Okay, try it now."

After all, they haven't seen it with their own eyes, so they have to decide before deciding whether to hire someone to tinker with it.

The three went to a remote garden in the backyard

.

The old mama pointed to the lead on the little black ball, "I saw that dead girl clicked here with a fire stick, and then immediately threw it out and it exploded."

The Wu family master and Wu Dashao both cherished their lives, so they called a servant to try.

The little servant lit the lead with the fire stick, and immediately threw it towards the open space in the distance.

"Boom!" A loud bang exploded.

The soil on the ground was blown up and splashed a little.

The head of the Wu family was also taken aback by the sound of the explosion.

He turned to the old mama and asked, "Is it such a power? It sounds scary."

The old mama nodded: "That's it, it's scary."

The sound was similar to what she had heard before.

As for the power, it should be the same, right?

She was frightened and didn't pay much attention.

It was the first time that Patriarch Wu saw something with such a loud noise, and it was still very shocking. No wonder the Shi family and the old mama were frightened.

He waved his hand, "Okay, you go down."

The old mama immediately retreated.

In the backyard, there are only Wu Family Master and Wu Dashao left.

The head of the Wu family said: "It would be better if this thing was more powerful."

Wu Dashao said with a smile: "When people come to study, mention it to see if it can increase the power."

He added: "If this thing can be produced in large quantities, our Wu family will definitely be able to make a contribution after it is delivered."

The head of the Wu family nodded, "Yes, let's find a craftsman to study and fiddle with it from tomorrow."

"Yes." Wu Dashao nodded, thought about it and asked, "Father, we can't just forget about the six hundred taels."

That woman not only made his younger brother's marriage and burial unsuccessful, but he was finally buried alone.

He also blackmailed them for six hundred taels. Is their Wu family's money so easy to get?
