In the next few days, the weather was very good, and Yang Ling was so busy as usual that he didn't see anyone during the day, but he would return home as early as possible every night, accompany Qu Xiaobai to dinner, take a walk, tell bedtime stories to the cub in her belly, and play good music for the cub and the cub's mother.

Qu Xiaobai didn't overwork anymore, in addition to teaching the science and engineering man every day, she also taught Wu Jin the lessons she was going to lecture again. The rest of the time, in addition to taking half a day to discuss with Zhao Yuan and a few Zhuangzi how to start this year's spring sowing, and Yang Zhuzi spent half a day explaining the new manor planning map, the rest of the time, is to eat, sleep and sleep, take a walk for prenatal education, the days are unhurried, not too tired, but not too easy.

Yang Ling knew that she had minimized her workload, although she hoped that she would not do anything but raise the fetus with peace of mind, but she also knew that it was not realistic, so she had to let it go.

At the end of the month, Yang Ling personally went into the mountain and determined that the conditions in the mountain were suitable for the start of construction, so he turned over the yellow calendar and found an auspicious day suitable for breaking ground to start construction.

The nearest auspicious day of the zodiac is the first day of the second month. It's not a good day, but it's not bad, and it will be ready to use.

Before entering the mountain, Qu Xiaobai sent a letter to Mu Nanyun and informed him. Mu Nanyun was busy settling down after the disaster, so she didn't have time to take care of her side, so she only asked the people close to her to say a word of good luck.

Informing him was originally moral, he would not be involved in it, let alone have any involvement on the surface, so even if he was not busy, he would not say much or do more.

Before entering the mountain, Yang Ling confirmed the movement in Beijing with Ah Da and a few others, and asked Ah Wu to secretly transfer some shadow guards into Zhuangzi, protecting Zhuangzi and the mansion to the point that it was difficult for even a bird to fly.

The climate of Nanping is strange, the winter is so cold that people freeze to death, and there is often heavy snow to patronize, the spring comes quickly and shortly, and after April, it is the hot summer. It is now the end of January, the weather is already warm like February elsewhere, the spring breeze is blowing, warm and gentle, even the land after the snow has gradually begun to evaporate and dry up, Zhao Yuan has begun to lead people to the Northern Wilderness to burn the wasteland, and the displaced people who Xin Qingjun is responsible for taking in have also been arranged for Zhao Yuan to be fully responsible.

A total of 3,000 victims, it was very troublesome to settle, and it was quite troublesome to command, although Zhao Yuan now has some experience in employing people, but so many people, he is still the first time to command, in the end, it is inexperienced, and it is extremely difficult to do, Qu Xiaobai borrowed a few stewards in Zixuzhuang to assist, which solved Zhao Yuan's difficulties.

Fortunately, except for some of the food that was beaten last autumn and sold to the Mu family's army, all the rest were hoarded, even if there was no food to be transported in before the summer came, the rations of the existing people were enough, and there was no need for Zixuzhuang to help again.

Even if it is reclamation, it is necessary to register in the government, Yang Ling has no time, Qu Xiaobai is not in good health, the day before Yang Ling entered the mountain, he sent someone to invite Zhang County Ling and Master Wang to come to his home, who knew that Zhang County Ling went to Dongshu County to meet Lord Qincha, and finally, only Wang Ping Wang Master and a pen officer responsible for land measurement arrived at Yang Mansion.

The wasteland on the border is ununder no jurisdiction, and even the boundaries drawn on the territory of the imperial court are not so obvious, and going to ask for a title deed with the government is just to avoid trouble in the future.

Zhang Jinglin didn't come, and things would have been easier to handle.

Yang Ling invited the two into the flower hall, and Qu Xiaobai did not come forward again.

There are outsiders, Yang Ling did not catch up with Wang Ping, still called him Master Wang, everything was done officially, Yang Ling purchased a total of thousands of hectares of wasteland in the northeast of Yangshutun, and paid 20,000 taels of silver.

Thousands of hectares of wasteland, more than half of Nanping County is bigger. If it is good land, don't say 20,000 taels, it is 2 million taels, I'm afraid it is not enough, even if it is not good land, the last field also needs hundreds of thousands of taels. But this is a border barren land, and there is even a risk of becoming a battlefield, as this government that always wants to make some capital to tell the old man to return to his hometown, 20,000 taels is simply a good thing for pie in the sky, there is no need to ask Zhang Jinglin, Wang Ping will make a decision for him.

Wang Ping knows Zhang Jinglin too well.

Although Wang Ping made the decision for Zhang Jinglin, Wang Ping couldn't understand Yang Ling's purchase of so much wasteland, and this incomprehension was even unabashedly manifested on his face.

Wang Ping was puzzled, and the pen clerk was even more incomprehensible.

However, although they were puzzled, they didn't say much, first, Yang Ling's cold look made them daunting, and second, Yang Ling gave each of them a hundred taels of silver tickets as a thank you at the beginning.

Wang Ping naturally didn't look at the silver ticket, but when the clerk saw the silver ticket of one hundred taels, he was afraid that Wang Ping would not agree, so he hurriedly put it in his pocket.

It took only half an hour before and after, and the matter was dealt with, and Yang Ling took out a hundred taels of silver tickets to invite the two of them back to the county seat for dinner, and did not leave them to eat at home.

Wang Ping wanted to say to Yang Ling in the end, but in the end, he didn't have a chance, and as soon as the matter was over, Yang Ling was very indifferent and asked Ah Er to send the two away.

The title deed was stamped with the big seal of the government, which was supposed to be in place, but Yang Ling was so cautious that he ordered Ah Er to take the title deed to Mu Nanyun and stamp his big seal.

Whether as a witness or as an official of the imperial court, his seal is, to some extent, more effective than the big seal of Zhang Jinglin's county government.

Ah Er didn't come back until the evening and handed over the title deed with Mu Nanyun's seal to Yang Ling.

Qu Xiaobai was reading a book with Yang Ling, and asked casually: "I've been going for so long, is Mu Nanyun very busy?" ”

Ah Er said: "General Mu Xiao is in Dongshu County, and he is with the Lord Qincha from Kyoto, and his subordinates found General Mu Xiao when they arrived in Dongshu County. ”

Qu Xiaobai: "...... Ahem, Ah Er, this one is not so urgent. ”

Ah Er is the most generous of the brothers, and when Qu Xiaobai said this, he smiled innocently, "What the little housewife said is that her subordinates have already arrived in the county seat, so she simply ran away, so as not to have to run errands in the future." ”

"Yes." Qu Xiaobai smiled, thinking of Mu Nanyun, he couldn't help but complain a few words: "How could Lao Mu be with Na Qincha?" He is a general in the army, how can he say that he can't get along with these civil officials in the imperial court, right? I don't know what my mind is thinking. ”

Yang Ling just smiled coldly: "Whatever." ”

Qu Xiaobai knew that Yang Ling's attitude towards Mu Nanyun was between a friend and not a friend, an enemy and not an enemy, and an enemy and a friend, and his attitude towards him was all based on one mood. At this time, his attitude towards him was so cold, which only showed that he disdained what he was doing now.

Also, he is a military general, he can do something for the people, and if he can't do it, he will honestly go back to the barracks to train the troops, and he doesn't have to have anything to do with the dog officials from the DPRK and the central government, and he will make a fuss in vain.

Qu Xiaobai nodded: "What you said is very true, what does he do?" After a pause, he said that he didn't care, but asked again: "Anyway, it's time for him to go back to Beijing to report on his work, don't you want to go back with Lord Qincha?" ”

Yang Ling looked at her coldly and didn't speak.

She said to herself: "You were also going to go to Beijing with him. ”

Yang Ling said lightly: "The imperial court didn't give me an order, what should I do?" Who will summon me? ”

Qu Xiaobai: "......" couldn't find anything to say for a while.

Yang Ling hid her very well, about the murder case she encountered on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she never knew what was going on, and who died, she thought, if she hadn't happened to encounter it when she went out, I am afraid that she would not even know about that case now.

She also guessed that it might be someone from the imperial court, but it was limited to speculation.

Specifically, Yang Ling didn't want her to. Heart, she doesn't bother to either. Heart.

So I was confused until now.

"Also, the court doesn't edict, what are we going to do? We're going to be in the mountains the day after tomorrow, and there's so much waiting for us to do. ”

Qu Xiaobai suddenly smiled at Yang Ling, and there was no lack of sarcasm in his eyes: "What's more, there is still a fifth princess in the capital who covets you, I don't want her to do something to you when I'm away." ”

Yang Ling was amused and pinched her cheek, "Although I still like to see you drink vinegar for me, this person's vinegar is disgusting, so you should not drink it in the future." ”

"Cut, I didn't drink her vinegar. However, you say that she is disgusting, but that's true, I have never seen such a casual woman, and she has not yet married, but she is with a different man...... Alas, pity the brave and invincible old Mu, who wants to be green by this woman for the rest of his life. ”

Qu Xiaobai muttered, not noticing that Yang Ling's expression was already a little unhappy.

When she came back to her senses, Yang Ling had already gone to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on a small note, she leaned over to just want to see, Yang Ling had quickly rolled up the note, and called Ah Wu to come in, "Pass it to the people over there in Kyoto." ”

Qu Xiaobai was curious: "What new instructions did you order?" Can't let me know yet? ”

"No, it's just to let a few officials in the court remind the emperor that Mu Nanyun and Lu Xiaoxiao should get married."

Yang Ling's expression was so indifferent and indifferent, Qu Xiaobai glanced at him, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and he mourned for Mu Nanyun for three seconds in his heart: Lao Mu, Lao Mu, I don't know how you offended this plague god, I want to save you, but you have to believe it, I can't do anything.

Mu Nanyun, who was talking to Li surnamed Qin, suddenly sneezed solidly.

Li Qincha wiped the saliva sprayed on his face with a handkerchief, and asked carefully: "Is Mu Jianjun infected with the wind cold?" Do you want me to get a doctor to show you? ”

Mu Nanyun waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

Cold? Not quite like that. Maybe someone was cursing him.

I have to say that General Mu Xiao is the truth.

The first day of the second month is an auspicious day to enter the mountain. Just after the child, Yang Ling got up and dressed.

This time it was a secret entry into the mountain, and even the people on the Zhuangzi were on guard, and the original plan was to enter the mountain in the early morning.

Qu Xiaobai slept very lightly in the first half of the night, as soon as Yang Ling woke up, she woke up with her, Yang Ling was dressed, she got up and waited for him to dress.

Yang Ling held her hand with his backhand, and said softly: "I will come back to see you at night, and I am not going to do anything dangerous, you don't have to worry, go to sleep quickly." ”
