This night, Qi Ning rolled in bed all night, barely convincing himself to believe Jing Su, after all, if he had the heart at his age, he would have married a long time ago, and the children would be in their teens, maybe the reason why Jing Su didn't marry was like he said that he had never met someone he liked, and it wasn't until he met Qi Ning that he moved the love of children.

Qi Ning decided not to think about that, the most important thing at the moment is to buy more land and buy a house, even if there is anything in the future, it is a dependent, and he can only speak hard when he has the financial ability.

Now that everything is in order, Qi Ning has more free time.

When she was fine, she took Handong around, and she found that it was actually not far from the East City Gate to the wharf, and she walked four or five miles southeast along the dirt road out of the East City Gate to the bustling commercial street of the wharf, and the wide road in the middle of the commercial street was the wharf to the east.

There is a big market in Qing'an City on the fifth day, all of which set up stalls on West Street, and it is very difficult to cross the carriage when making the market, so many shops in Qi Ning and West Street are affected on the day of the market.

Of course, the market can also bring some passenger flow, but now the restaurants in Qi Ning are mainly facing the rich families in the city and on the docks, and the people who rush to the market rarely eat. After walking back and forth from the city gate to the dock commercial street a few times, Qi Ning had a plan in his heart.

"Let's go, go to the yamen." Qi Ning looked at Han Dong, who was hiding in the shade and drinking water with a gourd.

"Girl, do you have any good ideas for going back and forth these days?" Han Dong hurriedly closed the lid and asked as he walked behind Qi Ning.

"Let's go to the yamen and ask first."

Because the new prefect went to the capital, and now Master Zhou has the final say on the affairs of the yamen, Qi Ning said hello to the official at the door and went straight into Master Zhou's house.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm here again." Qi Ning knocked on the door and heard the sound of letting in, pushed open the door and said with a smile.

"Qi girl, are you here to buy a house or a land?" Master Zhou smiled and put down the copywriter in his hand and pointed to the chair for Qi Ning to sit.

"Uncle, I found that there is wasteland on both sides of the road from the East City Gate to the wharf."

"There is not much wasteland, but there is some land on both sides of the road, which is full of fields, and the east of the official road is a river beach, and it is all stones."

"I want to buy the Wharf Commercial Street on both sides of North Road, all the way to the East City Gate."

"What do you buy roadside for? That's what people don't want, there is not enough place to build a house, and there is not enough land for farming by the roadside. ”

"I want to put up sheds along both sides of the road, and put stones on the bottom of the sheds, and then let the vendors and the people on the docks go and set up their stalls, and move the market in the city to it, so that you don't have to wait for the city gate to open early in the morning before you can come in and set up stalls, and the west street can be easier to walk."

"The bazaar is spontaneous, do you say that people will go over and people will go over?" Master Zhou shook his head disapprovingly.

"I'll make a detailed plan for this, and the uncle only said that the land can be sold?"

"You kid, no wonder your aunt likes you so much, she praises you every day when she goes back, and she wishes you were her daughter."

"Auntie, I just want to make more money and do something for the people."

"If you insist on buying it, and now that the prefect is not there, I will be in charge, and it is all wasteland, and it is not enough to build a house and cultivate the land, so I will give you one or two halves of silver per acre. Although the emperor is exempt from taxes, the deed tax for transfer is not exempt, but if you buy useless wasteland, I can give you exemption. ”

"Thank you, uncle, are you free tomorrow? Let's measure the land? ”

"Well, I'll take a few officials with me early tomorrow morning, and you can go over early, don't talk too much when the time comes, and act according to my eyes."

"I thanked the uncle first, tonight the uncle took the big brothers to eat duck, my newly pickled sour bamboo shoots, your aunt said it was delicious."

"Okay, I'll take them over, it's okay to do things tomorrow, you can go back first." Master Zhou is planning to give Qi Ning more size.

Qi Ning hurriedly stood up and said goodbye and went back to prepare.

In the evening, Qi Ning personally cooked a table of dishes, put the roast duck on the table, and asked Tie Niu to go to the private room to wait, until everyone came upstairs when they were full of wine and food, and Qi Ning sent away the prepared fruit wine and the packaged brine duck one by one.

The next day, when Qi Ning and Han Dong went out of the East City Gate, Master Zhou and the three servants were already measuring the land, Han Dong and Qi Fugui moved the tables and chairs from the carriage, put them under the shade of the tree, put tea on the table, and waited for them to drink for a while.

It had been busy for half a morning, and Master Zhou and several officials came to sit down.

"Qi girl, the land on both sides is five or six zhang wide, but very few, basically two or three zhang wasteland, the roadside wasteland is narrower only more than two zhang, behind is the river beach, when it rains heavily, the water can flood to the root of the embankment. That's a total of four acres of land. Master Zhou squinted and said.

"There are Uncle Lao and the big brothers, let's go back and get the title deed, and I will let people build the house while the weather is still cold." Qi Ning knew in her heart that these lands were definitely not only four acres, but also five or six acres, and it was Master Zhou who helped her make a fake, and several officials were all familiar with each other, and they all turned a blind eye.

Qi Ning instructed Qi Fugui to pull the things back, and took Han Dong to follow Master Zhou and them to the yamen.

After paying the money, Qi Ning bought the East City Gate a hundred meters east to the official road, about two hundred meters on both sides of the road and the wharf commercial street to the north to both sides of the city gate road. After thanking Master Zhou, Qi Ning went directly to Lu Laosan's house with the drawings in his arms.

"Is Third Uncle Lu here?" Handong knocks on the door.

"Who?" Lu Laosan's mother-in-law came out to open the door.

"Hello third aunt, I have something to do with the third uncle, don't you know if he is at home?" Qi Ning stepped forward with a smile and asked.

"Miss Qi, please come in, he went to do work outside the city, and he will come back in the evening."

"Then we won't go in, bother the third aunt to tell him, I have some work I want the third uncle to help do, if he is free, go to my house." Qi Ning was a little disappointed when she heard that Lu Laosan was gone.

"Come in and have a cup of tea, and I'll tell him when he comes back in the evening." Aunt Lu was gossiping and wanted to invite Qi Ning in.

"Thank you, Aunt San, I have other things, so I'll go back first, I'll wait for Uncle San at home." After Qi Ning finished speaking, he nodded and left with Han Dong.

"Girl, if Aunt Wu is our long-tongued woman in Qing'an, Aunt Lu will not accept it." Han Dong smiled and whispered.

"Well, we don't learn from them in Handong, and in the future, we will find a good family to be a housewife, and we must not talk too much." Qi Ning smiled and turned around and pinched Han Dong's face.

"Girl, you're making fun of me again." Han Dong blushed when he heard about her family affairs.

"Let's go, let's go to the dim sum shop and buy some delicious food for Tie Niu." Qi Ning said and walked out of the alley to the dim sum shop.

"The girl is an eccentric iron cow, you see his fat belly, ugly."

"I'm not partial, buy you two packs, give him one pack, okay?"

"I don't want to, I'm not a child." Han Dong is still very happy that Qi Ning often jokes about her, she never dreamed that she would meet such a kind master, Qi Ning doesn't regard them as people at all, especially she and Tie Niu are as good as their own brothers and sisters.

went to the dim sum shop, bought a bag of hemp candy for Tie Niu and Shishi, and bought dim sum for Handong and Qiao Niang, and the two of them went home.
