The last time Xin Su was reprimanded by Duke Xiao, it was because of the Xin family.

At that time, Duke Xiao Guo warned her that it would be best to avoid getting involved with the Xin family in the future.

At that time, she retorted that the Xin family had her brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, and she could not afford to have the reputation of being disowned by all her relatives.

After that, Mr. Xiao Guogong didn't bother to care about her, so she kept running to Xin's house every now and then.

Especially recently, in order to prepare a dowry for Xiao Chan, Xin Su wished she could move to the Xin family to eat and live with her sister-in-law.

When Xin Su got married, her dowry was very small. After marrying into the Duke's palace, she had no real power. In addition to monthly money, she had to ask her husband for an extra tael of silver.

Xiao Guogong was not stingy, and would buy Xin Su some expensive clothes and jewelry during holidays, but it was not easy to get cash from him.

Because Xin Su often cursed behind his back, saying that he only thought about Nan Rong's children and never took them seriously.

In fact, she really wronged Duke Xiao in this matter.

The reason why she attracted Duke Xiao Guo's attention in the first place was not because of her stunning appearance, but because of her weakness, helplessness and pitiful appearance.

After living together for more than ten years, Xiao Guogong had already seen that her weakness and pity were all an illusion, but in his impression, she was still a mindless woman.

Such a woman can only survive by relying on others. The more money she has in her hands, the stupider things she will do.

Just like at this moment, after listening to Xin Su's words, Xiao Guogong felt his anger rising.

"Say what you just said again."

Seeing that his attitude was somewhat unkind, Xin Su felt guilty: "I said... that farm is too small. If we can buy the two adjacent farms together, not only Chan'er, but also several nieces from my mother's family..."

"Ms. Xin, have you been too busy recently?" Xiao Guogong interrupted her, his tone full of ridicule.

"I..." Xin Su was speechless.

"Didn't I tell you to stop interfering in the Xin family's affairs?

It's good for you. Since the Xin family returned to Beijing, you have been running to their house every two days.

That's it, you're feeling depressed in the house, so there's nothing wrong with you wanting to talk to your sister-in-law.

But how does the Xin family prepare a dowry for the girl? What does it have to do with you?

Is it possible that you plan to give each of them a farm as a gift?"

The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he even woke up from the wine.

Xin Su's temper also rose.

She is not an idiot. How can she not know what the Xin family is?

The niece was just an excuse. She wanted to buy the three farms and use them all as dowries for her daughter.

If she didn't have enough money on hand, why would she take such a big detour?

She suppressed her anger as much as possible: "You underestimate the Xin family too much. They have made a lot of money secretly these years."

"Really?" Mr. Xiao Guogong's tone was light and buoyant. He couldn't believe such words.

Xin Su forced out a smile: "When did I ever lie to you? Although the Xin family cannot be as wealthy as our Duke's family, they still have money to buy land for the girls.

You should also think about Chan'er. Her brothers and sisters in the house ignore her. Who can she rely on in the future?

If the dowry field can be with the cousins, it can be considered as a care."

Duke Xiao said calmly: "My girl from the Xiao family does not need anyone to help take care of her dowry farm."

Xin Su gritted his teeth and said, "According to your wishes, you won't buy the farm?"

"Chan'er is already thirteen years old, so of course we have to start preparing for the dowry.

Especially the dowry farm should not be delayed.

The fields near the capital have always been very popular and cannot be bought with money."

"The Duke is right, I am so worried about this that I can neither eat nor sleep.

I finally got the news from my sister-in-law that there is a particularly suitable farm for sale, so I came to discuss it with you."

Xiao Guogong frowned: "Which farm are you talking about?"

Xin Su said: "There is a Peach Blossom Wine Shop fifteen miles northeast of the capital. You must have heard of it, right?"

Duke Xiao Guogong nodded: "I've been there several times."

"The farm I mentioned is near the Peach Blossom Wine Shop."

Duke Xiao twirled his beard and thought for a while: "I remember the fields that look like the Anlu Marquis' Mansion and Huaiyuan Bo's Mansion."

"The Duke of Guo has a good memory!" Xin Su praised, and added: "These two families have long since declined. As long as the price is right, they will definitely be willing to sell the farm."

"That's not necessarily true!" Xiao Guogong poured cold water on her directly.

How much is a field worth?

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Anluhou Mansion and Huaiyuan Bo Mansion are not poor people waiting for rice to be cooked.

The family has a big business and a large population. How many days can the money from selling the land last?

Leaving the fields for good cultivation will at least ensure that the whole family does not go hungry.

Xin Su tugged on his sleeve: "It is naturally very difficult for me to handle this matter.

If you can come forward in person, the two families are not allowed to directly present the land deed to you."

Her flattery was not up to par, and Xiao Guogong felt goosebumps all over his body.

But he had to admit that this feeling was actually not bad.

"The He family in the Anlu Marquis Mansion, the Wang family in the Huaiyuan Mansion... Then whose family is that smaller farm you mentioned?"

Xin Su said: "I have found out clearly that the current owner of the small farm is the proprietress of the Peach Blossom Wine Shop."

"Mrs. Tao?" Xiao Guogong was slightly surprised.

Wei Jing seems calm on the surface, but behind the scenes various forces are entangled.

Peach Blossom Restaurant has been in business for so many years, and it has always been a smooth business with many customers. Naturally, it has a backer.

Xiao Guogong did not deliberately find out who the backer was, but he always thought that Peach Blossom Winery chose to operate in the suburbs, and the prices of wine and food were quite low, so the backer should not be too strong.

He heard that the owner of the small farm was Mrs. Tao, and he realized that he had been wrong.

If her backing was not strong enough, Mrs. Tao would not be able to be neighbors with the He and Wang families even if she sold the Peach Blossom Wine Shop.

Xin Su said angrily: "That's the woman named Tao. My sister-in-law made three appointments before meeting her. We talked for a long time with no result."

Xiao Guogong didn't care.

With the status of the Duke's office, no matter how strong Mrs. Tao's backing was, he could still buy the small farm.

What he cared more about was the Anlu Marquis Mansion and the two large estates in the hands of Uncle Huaiyuan.

If it can be purchased successfully, there will be more than 2,000 acres of land.

Each of the two daughters has half of it, so it is suitable to use it as a dowry.

"Su Niang, you go and talk to the three families in person, and you must buy all the farms.

As an impartial father, I divided the land into two parts and gave them as dowries to Xi'er and Chan'er."

The broken hair on Xin Su's temples almost flew up.

What?

Ask her to come forward to prepare a dowry for Xiao Bi?
