The two of them were soaking in the well water, and when they were comfortable, they saw the courtyard door being pushed open.

It was the woman I saw at that night, and I thought it was the jewel that Qin Keqing said.

After Baozhu entered the hospital, he saw that the two of them were soaking their hands in the well water, and they knew that there was no scalding medicine, but they were afraid of losing the face of the young lady, and they saw that the two of them looked at themselves in shock.

Then he smiled and said, "Master Ding, Third Master Qiong, the scald medicine maid is on the table." Miss asked me to accompany you two, please bear with me. ”

As he spoke, he peeked at Jia Qiong again, and said in his heart, this Third Master Qiong is really handsome. And unlike other scholars, there is no weakness at all.

Usually when I went to buy things by myself, I also saw some scholars, how could I feel that they were so weak, as if they didn't have their own strength.

After a few steps forward, he came to the table in the courtyard, and then put the scalding medicine on the table, and glanced at the shuttlecock in the tea bowl, and the only remaining tea was still steaming.

took out the shuttlecock, and couldn't help but look back at the two of them, only to see the two of them put their hands in the well water and looked at her with embarrassment.

I couldn't help but cover my lips with my hands, laughed, and walked out of the yard with three steps and two steps.

As the sound of hurried footsteps faded away, the laughter of the jewels was heard across the courtyard wall.

The two glanced at each other, both smiled helplessly, and shook off the water droplets on their hands.

They got up and went to the table, wiped their hands casually on the tablecloth, and began to apply the burn medicine to each other.

I only listened to the courtyard wall, after Baozhu finished laughing, he whispered something, and if there was no voice, he only listened: "Miss, next door... Joan... It's so handsome. than me on the streets... See... All ... ”

Then came a burst of laughter and slapping.

Hearing it again, Qin Keqing said, "Whale Qing, let's go play indoors." ”

After the two of them finished applying the medicine, they heard the sound of words in the courtyard next door, and the footsteps gradually disappeared.

Feel the slightest coolness on your hands, the cold wind blows, I can't help but feel a chill, now it's late autumn, I didn't pay attention to this hot water soup, just used cold water to stir it up, if you can't get better in the short term, wait for the winter to get it, it's easy to get chilblains.

After glancing at each other, Jia Qiongfang said, "Uncle Ding, since this is the case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, how about accompanying me to the dental room?" ”

Ding Zhong didn't think about it when he saw Jia Qiong say this, so he nodded silently.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong got up and walked outside the door, and after Ding Zhong got out of the courtyard gate and locked it, the two walked together and went to the street.

------------

On Ningrong Street, inside the tooth shop.

The philistine tooth merchant looked at the two people who had just entered the door.

I saw that the young man who came in was dressed in brocade clothes and jade clothes, with an extraordinary appearance and an elegant temperament, presumably the noble young master of that family. I also saw Ding Zhong, who was in a coarse cloth robe behind him, with a burly figure and a body full of tendons, which must be powerful and powerful. There is a little confirmation in my heart.

Then he came to Jia Qiong with a smile, nodded and asked, "This master, you came to our tooth shop to buy something, we have everything in our shop." ”

Jia Qiong was also the first time to come to this kind of tooth shop, and she couldn't help but look around to see what was being sold.

Listening to Yalang's words, he couldn't help but look at it in surprise and asked, "What kind of background do you have, how dare you take such a big breath, and what kind of things are you selling?" ”

Listening to Jia Qiong's words, Ya Lang couldn't help but smile proudly, looked at Jia Qiong and said:

"We are both official and private. We have all the official teeth, and we also have the official teeth. So this uncle doesn't need to ask so clearly, he just needs to know what we should have and what we shouldn't have. ”

Hearing Ya Lang say this, Jia Qiong couldn't help but stop and looked at Ya Lang carefully. Said:

"In that case, then you can give me a detailed description of what you have here, and I can consider it. Let's see how you differ from other dental shops. ”

didn't think that Yalang didn't speak, but looked Jia Qiong up and down, and then said:

"This master must have little contact with the tooth shop, our tooth shop has twenty-three in the entire Shenjing, all over the city, and even in the slums of the southern city, but each has its own focus.

And you don't want to test anything, you just need to say your requirements, and we will do it for you. If we can't finish the tooth walk, I can reply to you right now, and I think there is no tooth line in the whole god Kyoto to do more.

But I can also explain a little bit to you, we can help with the population, shops, houses, fields, estates, etc. ”

Jia Qiong was taken aback when she heard this, the first one is the population, is it so bold? couldn't help but look at Yalang and said, "Human trafficking is a capital crime, and you are so rampant to say it directly." ”

Yalang laughed when he heard this, and then said:

"This master, I just said it. We are both official and private, these people can't survive, and they voluntarily sell themselves, and we provide them with food and clothing, so that they can live;

Or they were sold by their families, all of whom had insurance policies issued by the Yamen, and now they are all slaves.

You buy it, and there is no risk. We will work with the county government to transfer the slave registration to your name, and hand it over to you with the household registration without any worries. ”

Listening to such an arrogant tone, Jia Qiong was also a little shocked, this court prohibits private human trafficking, prohibits the abduction and trafficking of young children, the punishment is severe, and Ling Chi will be cut in half at every turn, but he can't imagine that there is still open selling, as long as it is his own volition.

But this Yalang is so conclusive, there must be something really there. This human trafficking is a cancer of the feudal era, and there is nothing I can do, and I am not a saint, but my heart is more touched.

Then he pretended not to care and said:

"I need to buy a three-entry house and a two-entry house. It is better to be close together, and the two houses are best in this western city, and it is better if there is some open space next to them.

Secondly, I also need a farm, which can be large or small, depending on how much you price. And the rest should be accompanied by some maids and servants. ”

After speaking, he looked at Yalang in front of him to see how he answered.

When Yalang heard this, he came directly to the counter, flipped up an account book, and checked it carefully. turned out a suitable place, about three or five alleys away from Jia Qiong's house, there was such a residence, and he talked to Jia Qiong.

Jia Qiong didn't expect it to be so fast, maybe just like the real estate agent in her previous life, she might not be able to find it for ten days and a half months, but she only needs to check one or two in the account books, and she specializes in the art industry.

But he was not in a hurry, and then looked at this Yalang again, and Yalang knew and continued:

"There are a lot of farms in Shenjing, but they all have owners, and not many people will sell them, but there are still some partial farms.

However, it is not nothing, more than ten kilometers away from Xicheng, there is a low mountain, only more than ten zhang high. There is also a big river next to it, this low mountain also belongs to the manor, even the low mountain with the manor and farmland is about ten miles in radius, and the price is 20,000 yuan.

It's just that because of the backing, it occupies too much area, but the planting area is less. So the price is cheaper. If it is less than 30,000 yuan on other farms, it is impossible to buy it. Of course, if you are not in this Shenjing, but in other places, you may only need 10,000 to 15,000 kan to buy it. ”

Listening to Ya Lang's introduction, Jia Qiong didn't care, he bought the farm just for the future, in his memory, next year is 1604, and it is also a year of many disasters.

Beijing, Baoding, Liaodong, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Fengyang reported floods and droughts. Heavy winter snow in Yanqing, Beijing.

Xianghe, Hebei, Xinghua in September. Dingxing, Xincheng, winter and December, rain and ice, tree branches are broken. Anxin, winter, heavy snow for ten years, flat land a few feet. Qinghe, cold in winter, branches are frozen, and most of them are damaged.

Henan City, Nanzhao, in October, peach blossoms bloom like spring, peony blooms dozens.

This year will be 1604, and in a few months at most, there will be many outcasts and orphans.

Outside the gate, there is a Jurchen tribe of Nurhachi, who destroyed the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, although there is also a reason for Li Chuang, a gravedigger, but it is undeniable that the Jurchen is strong.

In any case, I have to cultivate some talents, and I still have to join the army in the future, and the imperial examination is just a stepping stone, and I will use the stepping stone of civil and military affairs, so as not to be under the jurisdiction of civilian officials in the future.

He now has enough money to support some people, and when the time comes, he will take in some orphans and train them in martial arts, and he will have a certain background in both literature and martial arts in the future.

Even if you use Wen Yuwu, you must have people who are close to you, whether it is the clansmen of the Jia family or the people recruited from outside, they can't compare to the ones you have cultivated since childhood.

Now that I am still young, I still need the imperial examination, and I have time, thinking of this, I also made a decision, it is better to have a mountain, and I can cover it up.

At that time, the displaced people were recruited for production needs, and the children and orphans were trained as personal guards, and the side branches of the Jia family needed to be trained, which could also be used as a cover.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and said to Yalang: "In this case, you and I will go to the courtyard in this city first, and then go to the manor outside the city, which was originally for the purpose of training the children of the side branches in the clan, and you must not dare to deceive me Ning Rong Erfu." ”

Hearing Jia Qiong say this, Ya Lang showed a look of relief on his face. I see, I wanted to buy these three-entry houses for the outer room to live in.

This maid and maid did not continue to mention, after all, we have to wait for the house to be arranged, and then we will consider it.

And the mandarin duck and the parrot brother are not necessarily favored by Jia's mother, if they are not favored, of course they have to be taken back to the house.

Such a caring maid, unless she is taking care of a woman like Jia Mu Lin Daiyu, if she leaves it to other men, she will be disgusted by herself.

Sitting on the carriage and horse prepared by Yahang, it was also fast, and it didn't take a quarter of an hour to arrive at the courtyard that Yalang said.

Entering through the door of the house, there was no one else in the courtyard, and when he looked at a row of upside-down houses, he heard Yalang say in his ear:

"The house here was originally owned by a merchant, but then it was sold, and our owner bought it. Just keep it for later sale, after all, the auction proceeds are cheaper, and our owner can also make some money. ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiong just smiled, if you buy three into the house, the value will never be low, if it is a little profitable, it will not bother them, presumably the government will sell it to them at a low price, and then they will sell it at the market price, if there are so many sets, it is also an income.

While listening to the courtyard to walk, after the inverted seat room is the hanging flower door, on both sides of the verandah, in the middle is a big courtyard.

The east and west are two wings, the one facing the door is a main room, and there are two sets of small ear rooms on each side, and after passing the ear room, there is another set of back cover rooms.

It's decent, and there is nothing new about it, just relying on the original residence to be closer, and it will be more convenient in the future.

Then I looked at the second courtyard, and it was almost the same. It's much better than entering the hospital, and it's much better than the three rooms in your own house.

There are twenty rooms inside and outside the courtyard, and there are two open-air wells.

After reading it, Jia Qiong settled down, six hundred taels for the second and one thousand taels for the third.

Jia Qiong is only planning to renovate and clean it up in a few months, and if she can, she will celebrate the New Year in this new courtyard a few years ago.

Seeing that Jia Qiong was so happy, after the courtyard was settled, Ya Lang accompanied Jia Qiong to the manor outside the city.

Looking at this place within a radius of ten miles, there was not much reflection before, and when I got closer, it turned out to be a place about 1,500 meters long and about 1,500 meters wide.

Among them, the back of the low mountain, the edge of the big river, the low mountain occupies a lot of area, plus the stone at the foot of the mountain is not suitable for planting, it can really be regarded as a good field of dozens of acres.

This place is said to be a farm, it is better to say that the mountain is a farm for sale, but the area is real. But it's better to build a workshop here, not in the crowded part of the city.

After a few people returned to Shenjing, it was already early afternoon, and even the manor was decided.

Jia Qiong thought carefully for a while, took out a hundred taels of silver and Ding Zhong, and said some of his requirements for the manor, which was to build a small school field at the foot of the mountain for training, which was actually a flat land.

Build a private house next to it, dig some wells, and what kind of workshop needs to be built, as long as the secret recipe is not leaked, there will be no problem, and the rest will be handed over to Ding Zhong.

One is that he has no energy to do everything himself, and he will eventually find some familiar people in the future, and his father's former subordinates are good, even if they are physically injured, but they want to be loyal.

The second is that he is no longer the poor boy he used to be, he can still afford a loss of one hundred taels, and it is good to be able to try people's hearts, after all, if he is a good one, he can also use it in the future. also test this Ding Zhong's personality and ability, this person has a son, and he must have scruples.

Third, coupled with the background of the Jia family, he must not dare to act rashly. Even if he can't borrow too many things, he can still pull the banner, and besides, this matter of finding a training venue is indeed explained by Jia Zhu. I'm just getting bigger, and I'm just thinking about training my own people.

After that, if you need silver taels, you can take it with him, and the silver taels are less, and there is nothing to do, if there are more, he is afraid that Ding Zhong will see the wealth, small temptations are indispensable, and big temptations are completely unnecessary, and the point will stop, and people can't help but be too tempted.

Therefore, the 110,000 taels that were originally earned because of the grain went to the Xue family's members, and now they have taken out more than 21,000 taels, and there are still more than 40,000 taels left.

After handing over everything to Ding Zhong, Jia Qiong returned to her daily life, reading, writing, and practicing martial arts at home all day long.
