Chapter 23 Reading

He stood there for a quarter of an hour, but Xiao Wu still didn't come down. His whole body was covered with sweat and he was still as steady as a rock.

Not to mention a seven-year-old child, even his thirty-year-old guard couldn't tie it so firmly!

Liu Yan looked at the child sitting cross-legged and meditating beside him. He seemed to be Xiaosi, who was twins with Xiaowu. During this period, he also calmed down and remained motionless. He couldn't understand it, but he thought it was very powerful.

Liu Yan walked to the main room with satisfaction and saw Rong Yu practicing calligraphy on a bamboo board with a charcoal pen. The charcoal pen was rough and the bamboo was uneven, but the words he wrote were flying and flying, and the writing was vigorous and every stroke was astonishing.

.

Not only Liu Yan, but also the followers behind him felt a little numb.

It is said that people in the world are mediocre, but they are the worldly masters nowadays. No, it is the family of the worldly masters nowadays. Do they all like to choose a place with clear water and beautiful water to hide in the world?

Rong Yu had been practicing calligraphy on bamboo for a period of time and was already writing with ease. Seeing Liu Yan come in, she couldn't help but said: "My sister-in-law is cooking dinner, and Sanlang should be helping to light the fire."

Liu Yan went to the kitchen again.

Nalanjing washed the vegetables early and did not go to open up wasteland this afternoon. He planned to have dinner early.

Knowing that Liu Yan was coming, I cooked two more dishes.

Rong Qian helped light the fire, and when he saw Liu Yan, he asked him to play outside.

The kitchen was very hot, and Liu Yan couldn't bear it, so he just went to masturbate Xiaoliu.

Xiaoliu is a sensible child. He does not disturb the fourth brother and the fifth brother from practicing, but just endorses it in the backyard.

It's the entire Analects of Confucius. He puts his little arms behind his back and memorizes every word. When he forgets something in the middle, he stops. The window of the main room is open. When Rong Yu sees him stop, he will pick up the missing sentence, little

Six breasts repeated the milky sound and continued to carry it down.

Liu Yan looked at the four-year-old little Douding and thought that at the age of thirteen he could only recite a few sentences of the Analects and could not even move his feet for a while.

When the sun set brightly, a table was set up in the yard, and enough stools were purchased at home. The whole family gathered around Liu Yan and his two followers to eat.

Liu Yan was actually not used to it, so Rong Qian pulled him to sit down and put the bowl and chopsticks into his hands.

The two attendants also declined. After taking a bite of Dongpo pork in their bowls, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh my god! How can someone make meat so delicious?

There were five dishes on the table, three meat and two vegetarian dishes, and one beef bone soup, which was quickly eaten away.

After eating and drinking, we started talking about business.

Liu Yan said that if he gave him 10%, he would also contribute 10% of his efforts and funds.

Everyone knows that brothers settle accounts clearly.

Nalanjing took out a pen and paper and asked Rong Yu to write down the share-sharing contract. The future accounts would also be recorded and settled every six months.

Liu Yan had no objection and signed the contract and took his fingerprints.

Liu Yan put the contract into his sleeves and asked Rong Qian: "What's the next step? Have you planned how to do it?"

Rong Qian glanced at him and spread his hands: "Let's open up wasteland. You can go to the fields with me tomorrow."

Liu Yan: "..."

Liu Yan refused to give up and asked: "With such a big business, why don't we hire people? The villagers here should be cheap..."

How could my sister-in-law ask Li Zheng for a land deed when she hired people to open up wasteland?

Rong Qian replied truthfully: "We can't hire anyone at the moment."

Liu Yan suddenly realized: "Don't you have any money? If you don't have any money, I can pay first, but if you agree, then the contract must be changed, and I will take 50%!"

Rong Qian looked at him as if he was dreaming, pushed him out of the yard, and asked him to go back quickly. It was getting dark soon.

That was the business that made them rich. How could they give Liu Yan 50%? It's simply ridiculous.

Early the next morning, my uncle and sister-in-law got up at about midnight and continued to open up wasteland.

Liu Yan arrived late with his entourage. In the end, the two entourages took turns to work in the fields, and the speed was much faster.

During the afternoon break, Nalanjing took a pheasant to Li Zheng's house. She had two things to ask Li Zheng to help with.

One is to buy the mountain at the foot of their yard.

The mountain that Landlord Liu sold to them was three connected mountains.

There is another mountain outside that belongs to the village. The reason why Nalanjing wants to buy it is because he will need to go in and out frequently in the future. If anyone in the village has an objection, their plans will still be disrupted at any time. It is better to solve these hidden dangers in advance.

This time Li Zheng was completely sure that Nalanjing really wanted to buy the mountain.

He suddenly remembered that more than half a month ago, the big family didn't even have anything to eat, so they traded prey with their family. Then he thought that in just over half a month, they had money to buy a mountain.

Li Zheng was surprised, but he still told Nalanjing about the situation of the mountain.

That mountain indeed belonged to Zhangmu Village and had not been divided yet. It was considered public property. He could directly give her the mountain deed, but it would require a payment of 145 taels of silver. He took the money and had to hand it over to the government office.

Nalanjing came here with money, not much, just one hundred and fifty taels, which was the price she had inquired about before. In addition to the silver for buying the mountain, she still had five taels left, so she gave it to Li Zheng,

Think of it as travel expenses to go to the government office.

Li Zheng sold the mountain to Nalanjing without any thought of benefiting from it. Their family felt that it was not easy for Nalanjing. Her husband was seriously ill and bedridden, and she was the only woman who supported the family. If it weren't for the two young men in the family,

You know how difficult it is to be sensible.

Seeing that Nalanjing wanted to give him five taels of silver for travel expenses, he did not dare to ask for it.

Nalanjing said helplessly: "This money is not for you Li Zheng, it is for your traveling expenses back and forth. You have to have a full meal when you go to the government office. I am also worried that these five taels of silver are not enough. Li Zheng, you are

It’s not too little…”

Li Zheng really never thought about being greedy, but he always knew that Miss Rong understood the righteousness, so he still accepted the money.

Nalanjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After putting away the mountain deed, he asked about studying again.

She wanted to ask Li Zheng about the academy and planned to let Rong Yu and Rong Qian both go to the academy to study.

There are also private schools where the three little ones in the family can study.

Li Zheng almost thought he heard wrongly: "Miss Rong, do you want to support your five uncles in studying?"

Does Miss Rong know what she is doing?

There are many scholars in the village, and a big family will be heavily in debt to support a scholar.

He didn't dare to think about offering five at once.

Nalanjing nodded, seeing Li Zheng's worry, and explained: "My family, Erlang and Sanlang, can make money. Even if they go to college to study, they usually help farm the land and send their three children to private schools. In this way, I

I also have more time to clear land and collect herbs to make money.”

What Nalanjing did during this period was witnessed by everyone in the village.

She gets up at 9 o'clock every morning and occasionally goes to the fields with her two husbands to open up wasteland. Most of the time, she goes up the mountain to collect herbs. Every time she comes back from the mountain, she occasionally hunts some wild animals. Most of the time, she carries a basket full of food.

of herbs.

Everyone knows that she knows how to deliver babies and know about herbal medicines, and they don’t find it strange, let alone jealous, because when people in the village are sick, they often ask her for herbal medicines to treat various diseases, and she will give them to them. She will also help people feel their pulses and never accept them.

Sometimes other people would bring some vegetables to me because they felt sorry for me.
