Chapter Seventy-Six: Lifeblood
"I don't know if Shenhu Peak can buy it?" Wu Nuandong muttered, "Alas, it would be nice if there was more silver!" ”
Sitting and sleepy for a long time, the three children have long lost their previous freshness, Wu Xingzhou has already snored, Cheng Zijing seems to be asleep, and when he hears the words, he is awake and just hears the last exclamation.
"Nuan Nuan, isn't there enough silver?" Cheng Zijing asked quietly.
Steward Cheng once talked about the cost of the martial arts mansion, and it was simply calculated to be thousands of taels, although it was more than half cheaper than the ready-made mansions in the county, but it was extremely difficult for four children, a few small people, in a short period of time, earned a family business, not a miracle. Therefore, it is reasonable that there is not enough silver.
"Who thinks silver is enough!" Wu Nuandong puffed out his face, didn't care about Cheng Zijing's problems, and began to think about other mountains in the village. Shenhu Peak is continuous, and there are several villages nearby, I am afraid that it is not a luxury, but is it possible to buy it in Xiaohou Mountain and Tongling Mountain behind the village!
The land of Xiaohou Mountain is fertile, because it is next to the ancestral graves in the village, most of the ancestral graves are built on Tongling Mountain, and Xiaohou Mountain is far away and quite close to each other, so no one cares, and Tongling Mountain has many rocks, and it is not a good place to plant.
I don't know how much it will cost to buy Xiaohoushan.
Cheng Zijing was very distressed when he saw Wu Nuandong's frowning for a while and scratching his face for a while, he was very distressed, thought for a moment, and said unswervingly: "Nuan Nuan, it's better for the Wu family and the Cheng family to cooperate!" The Cheng family has silver, and you have skills! ”
Wu Nuandong was surprised, looked up at those shining eyes, and asked incomprehensibly, "Er'er, I didn't expect you to be quite business-minded, and you even understand technology investment?" Okay! If you want and believe me, then invest, let's sign the contract! ”
When Wu Nuandong smiled, Cheng Zijing sighed, it turned out that when Nuan Nuan was in trouble, he would also be unhappy, as if he had encountered some great difficulty, and he couldn't wait to send everything he had to her and make her happy.
Soon Lingshan County arrived, and there was no deep talk about this matter, and a few people first sent Cheng Zijing to Lingshan Academy, and waited for Cheng Steward to settle down for him, and told the scholar a few words before leaving.
What is rare is that Cheng Zijing did not show the slightest reluctance, but happily sent a few people out of the school, until the figure of the carriage disappeared, and the smiling little face slowly calmed down, revealing a little loneliness.
The sun was setting, and his emaciated back was stretched long, which was even more depressed.
Tian Shenqiu, who was behind him, looked at Cheng Zijing, who refused to turn around, the corners of his mouth twitched, this is not a life and death parting, there are four days of home vacation in fifteen days of school, and it is nothing to see each other in half a month! Remembering the housekeeper's entrustment, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Young master, it's getting late, rest early, there will be a morning class tomorrow!" ”
"Alas!" Cheng Zijing sighed before speaking, still leaning on the door frame and never turning.
"Young master, Miss Nuan Nuan is still waiting for you to return home! I don't know when I can make up for those days! These words were immediate, and I saw that Cheng Zijing's heart was no longer sour, and his back was no longer painful, and he was shocked and pulled Tian Shenqiu up, and walked straight to the house.
Tian Shenqiu praised, the old housekeeper, you can still touch the lifeblood of the young master, it's just a god!
The old housekeeper directly took Wu Nuandong and them to the largest livestock market in Lingshan County, and spent two hundred taels to buy two good horses in the prime of life, one male and one female, one black and one white, the price is higher, but they can give birth to ponies if they are raised.
The carriage was too late to be customized, so I bought a ready-made one, considering that the size of the grandfather's four adults was designated as an enlarged one, which was twice as large as the Cheng family, and it was no problem to sit down seven or eight adults. Also in order to save land, such as the low table is not placed, and then covered with soft cushions, replaced with light curtains and curtains, the appearance is simple and inconspicuous, and the inside can be bed and sit very spacious.
The ox cart entrusted the steward to store it in the Lingshan Academy, they put on a new carriage and set off to Yulin Prefecture while the sky was still bright, there was no rest on the way, it was night, the carriage arrived in Yulin Prefecture, the road passed through three or four towns and was stunned and did not stop, more than 100 kilometers of the road walked for two and a half hours, which is much faster than the ox cart.
I found a small inn in Yulin Prefecture, because I was afraid of the danger of staying overnight, I simply asked for a medium room, and I had a simple meal at the inn for dinner, and the three of them washed their faces and rinsed their mouths hastily, and two small beds, Song Daga asked for a wooden board and put it on two chairs, but he was also tired and dreamless all night, and slept sweetly.
The next day, Song Daga got up, set up the carriage, Wu Xingzhou also got up, and couldn't bear to wake up the little sister with a puffy face who was sleeping, and directly hugged her to the car.
Before leaving Yulin Prefecture, Wu Xingzhou bought some hot rice noodles along the way, exchanged cars with Song Daga, and made do with it.
When Wu Nuan woke up in winter, it was almost noon, and the rice noodles had been warmed in a warm carbon stove, and there were pies made by Wu Qiuzhi under the carbon stove, and bone broth was boiling in a small pot.
This is Wu Qiuzhi deliberately put the boiled soup in the well to freeze, lest he choke on warm food when sleeping in the wild...... There are also dehydrated and dried vegetables, wait until the bone broth is boiled and sprinkle it directly.
Song Daga sighed more than once that Wu Qiuzhi had a seven-trick exquisite heart, and Wu Xingzhou was willing to bow down in this regard, and couldn't help but praise: "As long as it comes to Nuan Nuan, Brother Qiu Zhi is simply omnipotent!"
Drinking the warm and delicious bone broth, Wu Nuandong was even more moved, woo, the third brother is really a peerless good man, whoever marries him will not be happy for a lifetime.
Yulin Prefecture is the most prosperous area in Lingnan, and the scenery is even more picturesque, and it has long been known as the metropolis of Lingnan.
It's a pity that Wu Nuandong slept all the way, even if her martial arts are not weak now, her body is still young, and she used to spend all the night practicing, but whenever she sleeps, she has to sleep thoroughly.
Long distances are the most tiring, every other hour, the three of them will get off the car to rest a cup of tea, and occasionally play two or three sets of punches to move their muscles.
Song Daga is learning the basic skills of martial arts as Wu Xingzhou is learning, and the formal training method is always more systematic than he can simply play a few sets of boxing techniques, anyway, the more Song Daga is in contact, the more aware he is, such as boxing starts from the waist, and the strength is more implemented; Five-finger fist, thumb clasped four-finger, good force, without hurting yourself, etc.
Hurried all the way, missed the big city and town, and finally arrived in Wuzhou late at night.
Since ancient times, Wuzhou has been known as the 'confluence of three rivers and the throat of two Guangzhous', and is one of the major inland port cities. The people of Wuzhou are simple, good and studious, noble and elegant, in short, it is a prosperous and undistorted place.
Wu Nuandong didn't have time or mood to go around, and when he arrived in Wuzhou, he could see scattered disaster victims cowering in a corner and becoming beggars, fortunately, the people here are kind and kind, and the poor can also rely on water to drink, and the large and small homeless people will not starve to death at least.
The three of them were in a heavy mood, and casually found an inn near the city gate to sharpen.
