Zhou Dong's mansion is in Zhongmu County, it is a mansion covering an area of about five acres, in Bianjing, this mansion is worth at least 20,000 yuan, but in Zhongmu, Zhou Dong bought it five years ago and it was only more than 1,000 yuan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhou Tong has two sons and two daughters, his old wife has long since died, and he has not renewed the strings, of course, this house is reserved for the eldest son, and the eldest son Zhou Zhi is currently taking care of him.

Zhou Tong's martial arts are superb, but his two sons are scholars, and the eldest son Zhou Zhi was born too learned, and is currently serving as the chief secretary of Lushan County, Ruzhou, and specially asked for leave to take care of his father.

Everyone entered the courtyard, Li Yanqing took out a bag of three hundred taels of silver and handed it to Zhou Zhi and said, "This is a little bit of the heart of our apprentices, leave it to the master to buy medicine!" ”

Zhou Zhi refused to accept it, but everyone insisted again and again, so he had to accept it, and hurriedly ordered the servants to tie the horses well, and then invited the five of them to sit in the guest hall for a while.

"My father is on his lunch break, but he will wake up soon, and you have come from afar, so I will sit down and rest for a while."

"Thank you!"

Everyone sat down, and Zhou Zhi instructed the maid to order tea.

"How's the master doing now?" Li Yanqing asked with concern.

Zhou Zhi sighed and said: "Yesterday, an old friend of my father came to see him from Luoyang, he is proficient in medical skills, so far, only he is more reliable. ”

"What did he say?" Everyone asked in unison.

He said that his father's injury at the beginning of the year in the Daimyo's Mansion was not serious, the problem is that this injury triggered another serious injury that his father suffered twenty years ago, that time he was injured by a hammer, and he lay on the bed for a whole year, and then although the body recovered, but in fact, the old injury did not heal, but was suppressed by a strong physique, and this time the arrow made the old injury recur again, resulting in a comprehensive decline of various organs in the body, hearing, vision, I am afraid that the body has also reached the point of frequent failure, yesterday Uncle Shi asked me to start preparing.... Ready for the future. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhi covered his face and cried, and everyone hurriedly comforted him, at this time, the little maid ran over and said, "The master has woken up!" ”

Zhou Zhi hurriedly wiped away his tears and said to the five of them: "I'll take you to see your father, don't take too long, he can't do well." ”

Everyone nodded silently, got up and followed Zhou Zhi to the inner house, everyone cautiously walked into the room, the light in the room immediately dimmed, Zhou Tong felt something, slowly opened his eyes, he saw Li Yanqing at a glance, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, holding his hand, only to see that the master had become skinny, his breath was dying, and his face did not have a trace of luster, Li Yanqing felt sad in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Master must take good care of his body and recover as soon as possible!" ”

Zhou Tong couldn't hear what he was saying, but he could understand Li Yanqing's intentions, and pointed to the bedside table tremblingly, the eldest son Zhou Zhi understood, and hurriedly took out a box from the cabinet and handed it to his father, Zhou Tong handed the box to Li Yanqing, and said with difficulty: "Master..... Leave it to you! ”

Li Yanqing opened the box, and inside were two thin silk books, one of which read 'Essence of the Copper Bow', and the other 'Selected Marksmanship of the Yang Family'.

Li Yanqing's nose was sour, and he nodded again and again, indicating that he understood his master's intentions.

Zhou Tong laughed with relief, and said in a low voice: "Practice the bow well..... There are ...... in September"

"The apprentice knows, master, please rest assured!"

Li Yanqing got up and gave it to a few other people, and everyone knelt in front of the master to speak, at this time, Niu Gao took out a black jade ruler and held it in front of Zhou Tong, "Old man, you should know it!" ”

Zhou Tong looked at the jade ruler for a moment, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, he remembered, this is Wang Jin when he left Bianjing, he gave Wang Jin a memorial, it turned out that this black-faced young man was Wang Jin's apprentice, he had an appointment with Wang Jin, Wang Jin's apprentice was his half apprentice, and his apprentice was also Wang Jin's half apprentice.

"I.... Get to know it! Zhou Tong had a smile on his face.

Niu Gao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Tong three times, Zhou Tong glanced at Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing nodded hurriedly, he understood what the master meant, and he should take more care of Niu Gao in the future.

At this time, Zhou Tong felt that his body was exhausted, and slowly closed his eyes, Zhou Zhi hurriedly gave everyone a look, and everyone understood, so he got up and exited the ward.

In the courtyard, Tang Huai hesitated, pulled Zhou Zhi aside and whispered: "There is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, but I still want to say that my family has a cemetery with good feng shui in the suburbs of Bianjing, if the eldest brother needs to ......."

Zhou Zhi shook his head lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, my father's grave has already been set, and he wants to go back to his hometown in Huazhou to be buried next to his mother's grave, and my father has said more than once that the fallen leaves must return to the roots." ”

Tang Huai was depressed, so he had to clasp his fists and salute, and leave with everyone.........

On the way back to Bianjing, everyone's hearts were quite heavy, and they didn't walk fast, and they rode slowly on the official road.

At this time, Li Yanqing took out the essence of marksmanship and handed it to Yue Fei and said, "You go back and transcribe it, it should be helpful to both you and Lao Tang." ”

Yue Fei shook his head, "The last time we came to visit the master, we were already given it, this marksmanship essence is only suitable for you, it is specially made up for you by the master, my marksmanship is different from yours, the master said that I will have to practice hard for at least five years to achieve success, and so are Lao Tang and your brother." ”

"Oh well! I won't give it to you. ”

Li Yanqing looked back at Niu Gao, and when he saw him looking at him, he smiled and said, "As I said, as long as you kowtow to the master three times, I will instruct you to ride and shoot, and you will be true to your word." ”

Niu Gao was overjoyed, "Then I'll come to you tomorrow!" ”

"I really don't have time in the past two days, I will go to the martial arts school to find you when I have time."

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something and said to everyone: "There will be a bow and horse conference in September, you should all know!" ”

Everyone smiled bitterly, Wang Gui was lazy and said: "The martial arts of the Bow Horse Conference must be participated, and all members participate, first compete within the martial arts of each state, and finally go to Bianjing to conduct the elite competition, and finally select ten elites to participate in the Bow Horse Conference, there are three of the top ten martial arts in the last Bow Horse Conference, and you still know one of them, Zhang Qiao, do you remember?" ”

"Of course I remember, I met him in Anyang County last year, he is the adopted son of the Zhang family, and now he has resumed his real name, called He Guan, and served as a regimental training officer in Dingzhou, but now I care about whether you participate?"

Yue Fei hurriedly raised his hand and said with a smile: "My riding and archery have never been good, Lao Tang and Gui Ge'er's walking bows are good, maybe there is still a chance." ”

Wang Gui pouted, "Forget it!" Until now, I haven't been able to hit all ten targets, and I still participate in the bow competition, which is a dream. ”

Li Yanqing glanced back at Niu Gao, only to see that his gaze was firm, obviously he also had the heart to participate in the September competition. ”

........

Back to Taixue, Li Yanqing began to devote himself to learning again, busy every day, he almost didn't accept the courses in the inner house, went out in the morning, and could only go back to the dormitory in the evening, and after two days, he used his dinner time to go to the martial arts to instruct Niu Gao to learn riding and archery.

Half a month has passed, and that night, the magpie came from Xinqiao, and when he entered the door, he said to Li Yanqing: "Little official, the master is back, let you take the time to go over tomorrow." ”

Father should have come back a long time ago, but he was bent on buying his own raw material estate, and he had been delayed in Chenliu until now.

Li Yanqing nodded, there is no class tomorrow morning, he can go over tomorrow morning.

At dawn the next day, Li Yanqing and Magpie came to the Xinqiao store, the store opened early in the morning, and his father Li Daqi was talking to the shopkeeper Wu.

Li Daqi turned around and saw his son, and hurriedly said: "You came just in time, Shopkeeper Wu wants to expand the store a little and open up the shopkeeper room inside, so that the store will expand by forty percent, what do you think?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, I don't want to care about it!" ”

"Didn't you stinky boy say that the red Wang family's rouge shop was going to be auctioned? So far, there is no news at all, if I can win the Royal Street store, I don't need to expand here, do you know what I mean? ”

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly and was speechless, and he didn't have any news, but he believed that Zhao Kai still had some integrity, maybe the progress of the government was too slow, and he didn't know how long it would drag.

At this time, the shopkeeper Wu said with a smile: "But there is indeed movement, yesterday afternoon the Wang family's rouge shop was seized by the government, and it was not opened today, and a seal was posted on the door." ”

Li Yanqing's spirits perked up, "That's fast, wait patiently for two more days." ”

Li Daqi thought for a while and said, "But the store should be opened!" Strive to finish it tonight and don't interfere with business during the day. ”

"Don't worry, proprietor! This is a small project, it will be over in an hour, and the back room will be used as a dressing room, separated by a screen, I think the woman's makeup trial experience is very important, and she will recognize the brand of Bao Yan Zhai in the future. ”

Li Yanqing couldn't help but secretly praise that this shopkeeper Wu has the business acumen of later generations, and he thinks more thoroughly than himself.

"What to do, Shopkeeper Wu decided for himself, what happened to Daddy's purchase of the manor?"

"The hundred gardens in Chenliu County are not good, the place is small, and the asking price is high, and then I thought that maybe it was because the land in Chenliu County itself is expensive, and then I went to Cuiqiao Town in Xianping County, where Zhang's ancient Baihua Villa was, and I really found it, the same price as the one in Chenliu County, but the manor area is twice as large, and it is close to Cai Shui."

"How big is the manor?"

"It's as big as Zhang's ancient manor, and it's two thousand yuan for a thousand acres of land, how about it? It's cheap! ”

"An acre of land is only two dollars?" Li Yanqing felt a little incredible, and an acre of land in Xiangzhou cost at least five yuan.

"The land in Kaifeng Mansion is very cheap, the farmers have been sucked away by Bianjing, there is wasteland everywhere, and it is a remote place in Xianping County, there are only three flower farmers there, manpower is very tight, and I have to find a few flower farmers, I am going to go back to Tangyin County in a few days."

"Daddy wants to take Aunt Yang back with you?"

Li Daqi nodded, "I'm going to take her back this time, it's not good to drag it out any longer." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Wu hurriedly walked over with a box, "Little proprietor, this is the balsam you want me to buy, I bought it from Zhang Gu Rouge Shop, it is the best one on the market." ”
