Chapter 236: Chapter 235 Excitement_1

One remark from Su Lao Si set everyone off into peals of laughter.

Mrs. Su-Hua quickly squeezed her way through the crowd and pulled Su Lao Si behind her.

"Where were you running off to act crazy?"

Su Lao Si, who was just boasting moments ago, immediately became sheepish: "I...I was just...just chatting..."

He stammered out with uncertainty.

This instantly triggered another round of raucous laughter from the crowd.

Mrs. Su-Hua quickly nudged Su Lao Si towards the kitchen while turning to smile at the crowd: "Come on, don’t make an embarrassment of yourself here. Quickly, let me wipe your sweat for you."

She stealthily passed him a sweat towel.

Su Lao Si was touched by her gesture and quickly accepted, using it to wipe his face: "You’re so considerate, knowing I was so hot. You go ahead and greet everyone, I’ll go get a drink."

With that, he dashed straight into the kitchen.

Once again, the crowd burst into hearty laughter.

Even the Clan Leader couldn’t help but cough a few times: "Your parents have been hand in hand all these years, it’s commendable that they still treat each other with such respect."

Su Pan’er also agreed: "Indeed, their relationship has always been good."

The twinkling light in the Clan Leader’s old eyes flashed: "I heard from you that last night, the County Magistrate invited you to drink wine?"

"Clan Leader, it was County Magistrate Jun who invited Qin Yi to discuss poetry and prose. I just accompanied him, don’t misinterpret."

Su Pan’er quickly corrected.

"It seems this new County Magistrate truly loves his people!"

The Clan Leader nodded delightfully, it seems like this Su Pan’er is an intelligent young lady. Having a conversation with intelligent people is so straightforward.

"Indeed, County Magistrate Jun loves his people and is a good official."

Su Pan’er’s eyes sparkled: "However, Clan Leader, there’s something I would like to discuss with you."

"Oh, what’s the matter?"

"Clan Leader, please come with me."

Su Pan’er looked around and then led the Clan Leader out of the house.

At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening, and the setting sun painted a golden glow upon surrounding the mountains. It’s breathtaking beauty made one reluctant to blink.

Su Pan’er pointed to the surrounding wasteland.

"Clan Leader, do you see these lands? Does anyone own them?"

"You’re interested in these wastelands?"

The Clan Leader was somewhat surprised.

One of the clan elders couldn’t help but interject: "This wasteland used to belong to the villagers who lived here. It is not without owners, and even though it’s deserted now, it would be a hassle if we want to use it..."

The Clan Leader looked at the elder and nodded: "The elder is right, right now, the ancestral property of our Qin Clan is in the hands of the elders. You want this piece?"

"Yes, I would like to expand the house."

Su Pan’er nodded, pointing to the house: "As you can see, this house is really too small. I want to build a few more rooms."

After exchanging glances and a moment of silence, the Clan Leader gritted his teeth: "You’ve entrusted the brewing of Bamboo Leaf Green Wine to our clan. You can’t manage these lands, but the empty space further in - if you’re interested, feel free to use. Consider it as compensation from the clan. I believe with me acting on your behalf, no one in the clan will object."

"Further in, that empty space?"

Su Pan’er thought for a moment then looked surprised: "You mean the area from the base of the Deicide Mountain right down to this place? That piece of land... it’s huge!"

She called it big because that piece of land was genuinely substantial.

The twenty mu of mountain forest that Old Qin had granted them was a link that separated the empty land and Deicide Mountain. The area from that part down to their current residence on Qin Family’s old house was even larger than the mountainous area!

"Exactly! Actually, that’s the real old mansion, the real ancestral home of our Old Qin Family."

The Clan Leader sighed deeply: "Our Qin ancestor was a successful candidate in the preliminary imperial examinations. When he first arrived on this land, he built the Qin Mansion there. But once the ancestor passed away, the dangers from the mountain frequently disturbed our Qin Clan. With no other choice, we moved our ancestral home down to the riverside."

"Alas! It’s our incompetence that has led to this."

The clan elder beside sighed heavily.

So, that piece of land was where the ancestral estate of the Qin family used to be! Su Pan’er was increasingly interested.

"In that case, I many thanks to the generous Clan Leader!"

"Don’t start thanking me too soon."

The Clan Leader chuckled: "That land was originally Qin family’s ancestral property. Even if you live there, it still belongs to our Qin clan. I have one requirement - the land is for your and your descendants’ living. However, it can’t be transferred or sold to a stranger. Can you do that?"

"Absolutely!"

Su Pan’er’s reply was resolute.

The house was intended for personal use, why would she transfer it to others?

"Good. Tomorrow, you go take a look! You can use as much as you want from that land; it’s just being wasted now anyway. Entrusting it to you would not disobey our ancestor’s rules."

Su Pan’er accepted happily on the spot.

"Let’s go, I’ll show you which lands belong to our Qin family. Look, this piece of land used to belong to the Su family, but it was sold to the Qin family hundreds of years ago. This is from the Zhou family, it’s deserted now but the land deed is still with Zhou Ning, a descendant of Zhou family. And this piece, and this one..."

The Clan Leader with great enthusiasm began giving Su Pan’er a tour.

"Clan Leader, Clan Elder, Pan’er, dinner’s ready! Come eat!"

From a distance, Mrs. Su-Hua’s voice could be heard.

Su Pan’er suddenly felt her stomach rumble: "Clan Leader, Clan Elder, let’s go! Let’s have dinner first, we can discuss other matters later."

Inside the house, the food was already prepared. The Clan Leader was invited to sit at the top seat, followed by the two Clan Elders. Qin Yi was pulled by the Clan Leader to sit next to him.

"Our Qin Yi is a scholar who has discussed poetry and prose with County Magistrate. He deserves to sit at the top."

With those words, no one dared object.

Even Old Qin, who seemed to have been invited over at some point, was nodding and bowing towards the Clan Leader, without a word of objection. The few half-sized children of the Qin family also arrived, making the small house packed and bustling with liveliness.

Instead of being bothered, Su Lao Si was beaming!

Laughing out loud, he was encouraging everyone to take a seat, acting like the host himself.

"Everyone don’t be shy! Sit, eat, and drink! Today, we are here to have a lively time."
