Chapter 98 A protracted war?
"Village Chief Cheng, don't worry. The land I want is not for farming, but for building a house. Any land will do!"
Luo Taiqing looked at Cheng Yong's embarrassment, guessed his thoughts at a glance, and said:
"But it would be best if it's near the Wang family. The price is negotiable. If I'm satisfied, even tripling it wouldn't be a problem!"
"Building a house, near Wang's house?"
Cheng Yong's face was even more confused. Compared to farming, he understood better why Luo Taiqing wanted to build a house and come to their Hutougou.
How could he not know Luo Taiqing's identity? Mr. Luo, the famous master in Qingyang County, was a wealthy man with countless properties. To put it bluntly, he might not even be interested in all the land in their Hutougou.
How much money can you make from farming throughout the year?
As for building a house in Hutougou, that is even more unrealistic. Hutougou has nothing to do with the Luo family, and Hutougou is not a Feng Shui treasure land. There are many good locations in Qingyang County, not to mention that there are many beautiful places around Qingyang County.
There is absolutely no need to go to their Hutougou to build a house.
"That's right, I'm going to build a house, and it has to be near the Wang family. If there's no extra land near the Wang family, I can buy other people's houses, tear them down and rebuild them. They can set the price, as long as it's not too excessive, I have no problem with it!"
Luo Taiqing explained: "I wonder if Village Chief Cheng can help me with this?"
"Master Luo, if it's just land for building a house, it won't be a problem at all!"
Cheng Yong also breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Lin's home was not located in the central area of Hutougou. There was some extra land around it, but they were all low-quality fields with little fertility. The harvest from growing crops was average.
If someone is willing to buy, naturally there will be someone willing to spend the money. And looking at Luo Taiqing's attitude, he is completely willing to sell it at a higher price, so naturally there is no problem.
just.
He was still full of doubts in his heart!
Cheng Yong asked, "Master Luo, logically speaking, you take care of our Hutougou, so I shouldn't say anything, but I still have to ask, why did you think of building a house in our Hutougou and must be near the Wang family?"
At this moment, although a guess emerged in his mind, he did not dare to confirm it.
If Luo Taiqing hoped to make friends with Wang Ruhai by building a house near Wang Lin's home, it would be almost impossible because Wang Lin's family had already severed ties with Wang Ruhai.
It is a question whether Wang Ruhai still recognizes Wang Lin, so he naturally will not come to Hutougou again.
So as not to embarrass yourself!
It was extremely difficult for Luo Taiqing to expect to get the moon first by virtue of being close to the water.
"Of course it's for my son-in-law!"
Luo Taiqing chuckled, and saw Cheng Yong's face full of doubts. He also saw Liu Dongzhu frowning and about to open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, so he spoke first:
"Of course, he can't be called my son-in-law now, but I believe he will be my son-in-law one day!"
"son in law?"
Cheng Yong's face suddenly became extremely strange. In the entire Wang family, Wang Ruhai was the only suitable man. However, this thought did not stay in his mind for more than three seconds before he dispelled it himself.
Who knew clearly that although Wang Ruhai had divorced Liu Dongzhu, he had already married the prime minister's daughter, so how could he possibly marry Luo Taiqing's daughter? Even having her as a concubine would be a difficult thing.
Cheng Yong suddenly saw Wang Ping'an in Liu Dongzhu's arms. A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind and he said in surprise: "Master Luo, the son-in-law you are talking about is not Wang Ping'an, right?"
Apart from this possibility, he couldn't think of anyone else in the entire Wang family who could be Luo Taiqing's son-in-law.
Liu Dongzhu said angrily: "Master Luo, didn't Butler Luo make it clear to you? My Ping An will not be engaged to your daughter!"
"The Third Steward told me about this, and I also support letting the children get in touch with it themselves!"
Luo Taiqing smiled and said nonchalantly: "Madam Wang, you won't refuse the children to get to know each other, right? If they like each other, would you, Madam Wang, do something to break them up?" If it were in the past, after hearing what Liu Dongzhu said, no matter how good his temper was, he would get angry and would never marry into the Wang family again.
His daughter was born to his concubine, but her surname is also Luo. There are so many families in the entire Qingyang County who want his daughter. Is he afraid that she won't be able to get married?
however.
Now we know that Liu Dongzhu's newborn child is not only valued by Taoist Xuanqing, but also by Luo Liang and Luo Quan.
Even though he has no ability and cannot see how powerful Wang Ping'an is, the fact that these people are interested in him is enough to show that Wang Ping'an is extraordinary.
Under all circumstances, if he originally just wanted to try his luck, now he wants to marry into the Wang family completely.
Even if their family takes the initiative, even if it gets out, it will ruin their reputation.
He has to do the same!
Their family is now a wealthy family, and one of the most powerful in Qingyang County. However, he still understands the principle that wealth cannot last for more than three generations. If the Luo family wants to be rich for generations, there must be outstanding children in the family.
You also need a powerful helper!
Moreover, given the importance that Taoist Xuanqing, Luo Liang and Luo Quan attach to Wang Ping'an, it is possible that Wang Ping'an will be able to help the Luo family move to a higher level.
This kind of thing has happened before.
He has heard the story of one person's success bringing prosperity to the whole family countless times.
"Master Luo, I certainly won't do anything to break up a couple!"
Liu Dongzhu took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and reminded: "But in this way, if our Ping An doesn't get married with your daughter, it is very likely to affect her for the rest of her life!"
"I believe in my daughter. She will definitely be able to live happily with your family!"
Luo Taiqing's face was full of confidence.
He naturally understood the meaning of Liu Dongzhu's words, but he also understood one thing more clearly: if you want a generous return, you need to pay, and there is also the risk of losing everything.
Since his daughter's surname is Luo, she enjoys the benefits brought by their Luo family, and she also has to pay for their Luo family, even he, the head of the family, is no exception.
"Third housekeeper, I'll leave the house construction matter to you. You can negotiate with Village Chief Cheng!"
Luo Taiqing gave an order and then said to Wang Lin: "Brother Wang, I hope you will think about what I just said. As long as you have figured it out, you can come to me anytime. I have something else to do, so I will leave first!"
Wang Lin said: "Master Luo, I'll see you off!"
'Something is wrong. This is so wrong!'
Wang Ping'an looked at Luo Taiqing's back as he walked away with big strides, and his expression suddenly became extremely strange.
He was surprised that Luo Taiqing would come to lobby for Luo Quan, but he was not surprised. From the spy Xiao Hui, he had a general understanding of Luo Quan and Luo Liang's plan.
but.
It would be more accurate to say that Luo Taiqing came to serve as a lobbyist rather than to remind Taoist Xuanqing that if he really wanted him to become Luo Quan's disciple, there was no need to buy land and build a house near his home.
Could it be that they are preparing for a protracted war?
