C10 New Contract
Seeing Jun'er's confused expression, Young Master Leng Jun added in a mocking tone.
"If you believe what others say, then you really can live till now. Have you ever thought that when you have the money to buy land, the other party might not even have a speck of dirt on their hands? When that time comes, where will they sell the land to you?" Young Master Leng Jun said as he waved his hand for the guard to let go of the other party.
"Also, it is simply impossible for refugees to own their own land, unless they can enter an household register. However, as a refugee, you should know better than me how difficult it is to enter an household register, right?" Young Master Leng Jun's words caused Jun'er to sit on the ground with her eyes wide open in shock.
"So, before you cry and curse at me, shouldn't you thank me first?" Young Master Leng Jun said as he stood in front of Jun'er, looking at her with a playful expression.
"Because I let you know the truth in advance."
Truth? Jun'er stared at Young Master Leng Jun blankly. Her mind was filled with what Young Master Leng Jun had said. The clearer her consciousness became, the colder her heart became. In the end, she froze on the spot, at a loss of what to do.
Could it be that the young master was lying to him? But he promised to keep the secret of picking herbs for him, so he clearly wasn't a bad person! Jun'er thought to herself as she shook her head vigorously.
"Even if that's the case, it's still my business!" So what if he was deceived? Doing business was always risky. Since he was going to do this, even if he was cheated in the future, he was the one who asked for it.
"Are you stupid? Or … Do you really think you can buy land? " Young Master Leng Jun frowned as he looked at Jun'er. He wasn't sure where Jun'er's confidence came from.
"Isn't it just an household register? Isn't it fine as long as you have an household register? " If you need an household register before you can buy land, then just think of a way to register before buying land.
"Do you know what you're saying? Do you think it's that easy to get into a household register? " Young Master Leng Jun looked at Jun'er mockingly and snorted.
"If we don't do it, how do we know that we won't be able to do it?!" Unconvinced, Jun'er yelled as she crawled up and glared at him.
The person in front of him was petite. He didn't look that old, but his eyes were firm and clear. He was determined and unyielding. Young Master Leng Jun couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, which surprised the guards.
"So that's how it is. Interesting." Young Master Leng Jun stopped laughing as he looked at Jun'er.
"In that case, let's do a business too!" Young Master Leng Jun took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Jun'er.
"Young Master?" Seeing Young Master Leng Jun's actions, the guard was just about to speak, but he was coldly glared at. He could only grit his teeth and keep quiet as he looked towards Jun'er.
"Since your goal is only to buy enough land, who should you buy from?" Young Master Leng Jun said with a smirk on his face. His expression made Jun'er look at him warily.
"If you have enough money in the future and still want to buy the land here, then bring this jade pendant to Bi'an City and find me. No one will dare to stop you, and if you change your mind and want to buy the land from me, then, you don't need this thing." Young Master Leng Jun patted his chest as he spoke.
Bi'an City?! Jun'er widened her eyes in surprise as she looked at Young Master Leng Jun.
So he was from Bi'an City? Why would the people of Bi'an City appear near the Yazi City? Was it because of the enthronement ceremony? Was he here to watch the show? Or was he here to participate?
Jun'er, who had her suspicions, had completely forgotten about her reaction. She didn't even know when the jade pendant had been stuffed in her hand. She didn't look back until she jumped onto the horse and pulled the reins to attract the horse's whinnies.
"Hey!" I still haven't agreed to it! " Watching the two light riders leave, Jun'er chased for a while, but couldn't find any trace of them, so she had to stop.
Panting on the spot, Jun'er looked down at the jade pendant in her hands. The pattern on the back of the pendant was carved with the four seasons of reincarnation.
Although he was unwilling and even wanted to sell the expensive jade pendant for money, he could only grit his teeth and give up when he thought of buying the land.
Without this jade pendant, he wouldn't be able to find the black-clothed young master and buy the land from him since he couldn't take back that exquisite wood piece.
Come to think of it, they were living in the County Governor's territory managed by Bi'an City to begin with. If buying land required household registration, then obtaining the household registration in Bi'an City to buy land in Bi'an City would be easier than obtaining the household registration in Yazi City City to buy land, wouldn't that be easier?
Jun'er could not help but furiously stomp her foot while mumbling to herself in frustration and her brain spun like a top. She then scratched her aching head and viciously glared in the direction the youth had left in, gritting her teeth.
Why did he meet such a ridiculous person?! Really.
"Giddy up!" The horses galloped into the city. No one dared to stop them and they quickly arrived at the inn. Young Master Leng Jun led the guards to the second floor after handing the horses to the waiter.
"Young master, are you sure you don't need to notify Imperial City?" The guard looked at the young master and asked.
"No need." As the Young Master spoke, he took off his jacket and tossed it to the guard. Just as he was about to comfortably lie down on a chair to the side, he suddenly felt a foreign object on his chest and took out the wooden stick.
"But I'm afraid the others have already moved into the Imperial City. If you don't go …" After hanging up his clothes, the guard came back and said something.
"They have a reason to live in there, but I don't." While playing with the wooden stick in his hand, the young master glanced at the guard.
"That's true …" The guard frowned as he muttered to himself. Then, he could not help but ask as he saw the other party fiddling with the piece of wood in his hand.
"Gongzi, what are you doing with this?"
"You aren't really planning to sell your land to the refugees to build a village?" The guard frowned as he looked at the young master sitting on his seat. Compared to the other cities, the household registration in Bi'an City was the hardest to access, not to mention selling the land to the refugees.
"So what?" The young master raised his eyebrows disapprovingly.
"This is simply impossible." The guard replied without thinking.
"That's impossible, but someone did it before me." As the Young Master spoke, he glanced at the piece of wood in his hand.
"Perhaps it's just a joke, but that brat is just minding his own business and taking it for real." This was the only explanation that the guard could think of.
"Do you think that person would joke about such a thing?" The young master's eyebrows raised as he tried to unlock the lock on the wooden block, but he couldn't help but frown.
"Yazi City is something that has always been seen through by hand, something like this isn't rare at all." The guards did not feel that anything was amiss. The Yazi City s had always been wooden organs, and a bunch of these little things were just toying with children on the streets. Thinking about it like this, the trade in that land became more and more like a joke.
"Liu Ao, look carefully, these are indeed fox markings." The Young Master turned the carved and engraved side of the wood towards the guard, attracting his surprised gaze.
"Since there are fox markings, it means that the other party personally made them. Do you think that the other party would give them away so easily just to tease a kid that was a commoner?" The Young Master looked at his guard, Liu Ao, and said this.
"What does young master mean?" Liu Ao looked at his master in surprise.
"The other party's goal will naturally be revealed in the future. I'm more curious about this right now." As the Young Master spoke, he waved the wooden stick in his hand.
"What's there to be curious about?" Isn't it just a keepsake? Liu Ao frowned in confusion.
Master waved his hand and sent Liu Ao out without saying anything. When he was alone in the room, he shook the wooden stick in the air a few times. There was a faint sound of collision.
He really did put in a lot of effort! This made him more and more curious about the contents of the box. He casually gave the box to a refugee brat, and if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't know what was inside, he really wanted to forcefully open it to take a look.
As the young master thought of this, he put away the piece of wood and laid down on the bed with his eyes closed.
At the same time, the embarrassed Jun'er finally returned to the campsite. As she entered the crowd, Uncle Zhang yelled out in surprise.
"Jun'er, where did you run off to? I've been looking for you all day! " Uncle Zhang shouted as he ran over.
"Uncle Zhang." The dispirited Jun'er raised her head to look at him and smiled. Thinking back to what she had experienced all day, she felt extremely frustrated. Thus, she took off her backpack and threw it to him.
"Didn't you go to see the mountain? How did it become herb picking? " Uncle Zhang took the backpack and glanced at it. Then, he looked at Jun'er, who was tugging at his shoulder, with a strange expression.
"It's a long story, you decide what to do with it! "Where's my father?" Jun'er answered without thinking, then asked about something.
"I would have forgotten if you didn't say it. Your father has been looking for you for the whole day. He thought you would take me into the mountain, but he found out that you went there by yourself. So he's probably still in the mountain!" Uncle Zhang came back to his senses and said.
"What?" Jun'er shouted in surprise. Just as she was thinking about what to do, she suddenly saw someone walking down from the mountain. Wasn't that Lin Xiaoxun?
"Father!" Seeing Lin Xiaoxun, Jun'er's eyes lit up as she ran over.
"Where did you go?" Lin Xiaoxun looked at the embarrassed Jun'er with a straight face.
"I …!" Jun'er wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. Therefore, she could only lower her head in grief and secretly glance at Lin Xiaoxun.
"I think it's because the herb picking has gone far." Uncle Zhang waved the medicinal herbs in his hand, smiling as he tried to help Jun'er.
Seeing Uncle Zhang speaking up for her, Jun'er looked at him gratefully. Lin Xiaoxun also looked at him but still said something in a low voice.
"In the future, you are not allowed to enter the mountain alone. For the next two days, I will punish you to not leave the camp. Watch over him." Lin Xiaoxun looked at Uncle Zhang and hurriedly nodded.
"Got it." As Uncle Zhang said this, he stealthily glanced at Jun'er and saw that she had a wide grin on her face. Then, Lin Xiaoxun knocked her on the head.
"Still laughing, come and wash yourself clean." As Lin Xiaoxun said this, he grabbed Jun'er's collar and dragged her into the tent. The latter, however, didn't seem to mind at all and waved towards Uncle Zhang with a smile.
Uncle Zhang, who had also waved his hand, shook his head as he saw Jun'er and Lin Xiaoxun disappear into the tent. He then glanced at the medicinal plants in his arms. They were all valuable goods!
