Li Qiu Sui and Li Changshan went to visit a village outside the city today. It is said that the land is mostly sandy and the harvest is not very good, but it has thousands of acres and can be connected into one area, which is very rare.

Over the years, the Li family has gained income from their orchards and medicine shops. In addition to the large expenditure of buying fertile land, they have saved a lot of savings.

Everyone from the pharmacy has been brought to the capital. The income from the orchard in Linshan County will continue, and the family will not be short of money for the time being.

But since the family came to the capital, they had to buy some properties.

The imperial court rewarded the uncle's house. Don't rush to buy a house for the time being. Pay more attention and you can always find a suitable one. Shops in the capital are in short supply, and buying one depends on the opportunity. Their family has no plans to do business and doesn't expect to live off the rent, so they don't bother with this aspect.

But buying a suitable Zhuangzi is urgent.

First, the people in the pharmacy must have a place to stay.

Secondly, my family is not familiar with the place in the capital. In the past, I had to run to places several times in Lijia Village every day. I was used to busy work, but when I suddenly had some free time, I felt uneasy. I bought Zhuangzi, which can be considered as multiple places to go.

Li Sanzhu has been busy in Huangzhuang these days, while Li Changan went to the Imperial College to study. If Zhao Da and Zhou Ping hadn't found out that someone was selling Zhuangzi, Li Changshan wouldn't have stayed home and went to see Zhuangzi with Li Qiu Sui.

Zhuangzi is in the suburbs, not too far away, only half a day's journey.

The carriage left the uncle's mansion and left the city through the bustling avenue.

When Li Qiu Sui heard the noise, he opened the curtains and looked outside. The crowds of pedestrians were almost ready to spread their arms. The carriage finally reached the city gate, and there was already a long queue of carriage pedestrians waiting to enter and exit the city gate.

The day we arrived in the capital, we entered the city smoothly. It didn’t take much effort to load the carriage luggage?

Li Qiusui asked Li Changshan, who was riding next to him, "Why are there so many people?"

These days, he is either playing with little Chengyan or cleaning up his own yard. He has never had the chance to go out. Although Li Qiu Sui is amazed at the prosperity of the capital, such crowding is obviously not the norm.

Li Changshan was also puzzled, "It was normal for my dad and I to go out of the city a few days ago..."

The brother and sister looked at each other and realized later that they were so busy that it would be August 15th in two days! It has been ten days since they came to the capital, and the time flies by so fast!

Li Qiu Sui held his head and said, "Who else was talking about this brain yesterday..." He didn't take it seriously.

It's so normal. The family came to the capital in a daze, with no relatives and no place to go. This was one of the reasons why they were anxious to buy Zhuangzi.

It was rare for Li Changshan to see his sister like this, so he smiled and said: "I heard from your sister-in-law that you have been playing with Chengyan for the past two days? That kid is tormenting people, and most people can't stand him with enough energy."

Li Qiusui glared at him, "No, after playing with it twice, it's sticky and can't be shaken off!"

Li Changshan laughed. He said he disliked it every year, but he played with Xiao Chengyan in different ways every day. It would be strange if the boy didn't cling to him.

It took half a day for the brother and sister to arrive at their destination. The seller already had a steward waiting for them. Zhou Ping went to negotiate with someone, while Li Qiusui and his sister were just strolling around and discovered the problem.

No wonder they are eager to sell. Dazhuangzi covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 acres, but no more than 100 acres can be called fertile land. The hawthorns and wild jujubes planted there are almost submerged by weeds, making it half deserted and half idle.

"It's going to take a lot of effort to clean it out!" Li Changshan bent down and cleared away the weeds around a hawthorn tree.

Li Qiu Sui was not surprised at all, "This place is not far from the capital, and good land is not available to us."

Li Changshan nodded, "These hawthorn trees and jujube trees are suitable for planting. When our family buys them, should we clear out the species together with the weeds, or prune them and keep them?" It was agreed before that the villagers and fruit trees would be sold together, and Li Changshan said two things. None of these methods save much effort compared to clearing wasteland, but neither brother nor sister said they would not buy it. The main reason is that the geographical location and surrounding environment of this place are surrounded by mountains and rivers, especially like the orchard in their Lijia Village.

Li Changshan asked his sister. In fact, he had not made up his mind. "Fortunately, it is not difficult to clean up the weeds because of the soil quality. The farmers still see that the land is kind." Besides, it is still his own.

The area around Huangzhuang was full of high-quality fertile land, but even though his father had received the emperor's order, he had to go through a lot of trouble to reform and test the crops according to his own wishes. In this way, he managed to get a piece of land for the pilot project.

"When the deal is settled and it's really ours, let's ask my mother to come over and take a look."

Li Qiu Sui nodded in agreement with Li Changshan and pulled out a bunch of weeds. "Then buy it quickly. Tell Zhou Ping, as long as the money is enough."

Mrs. Liu had nothing to do and only made trouble for others. Li Qiusui would rather play with little Chengyan than get in front of her mother.

Li Qiusui sighed, "It's really not easy for my sister-in-law. After getting married, I have children and have to serve my husband. I also have to be punished by my mother-in-law. Fortunately, I have two trouble-free sisters-in-law. Otherwise, how would I have lived this life?" "

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Changshan knocked on Suisui's forehead, "What's so wrong about my mother that you complain like this?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I don't see much benefit from getting married." Li Qiusui absorbed the vitality of the weeds in his hand without leaving a trace.

Now she doesn't need to secretly practice her powers every night. As long as there is a steady stream of vitality for her to absorb and accumulate to the limit, it will not be difficult to upgrade.

But this kind of thing cannot be done for a long time. The vitality of the weed just now is almost gone. The older the tree, the more vigorous it is. She usually absorbs one tree and replants three.

Li Changshan sighed, "Your sister-in-law lost her biological mother a long time ago, and her stepmother came in. Although my father-in-law is a scholar and does not need my daughter to work in the fields, there is endless needlework. To outsiders, it seems that she still enjoys great blessings, that is, my aunt I can’t bear to see it, so I can pick up the sisters and have two days of free time.”

"Sister-in-law, what kind of clothes do you need to make at home?" Li Qiusui suddenly said, "Yes, we still need to embroider." This wasted time.

Li Changshan smiled and thought that he was right. Before Mrs. Chu married him, she did embroider every day, but it was not to make clothes and embroidery to look good, but to show off the handkerchiefs and sell them on consignment in the shop to supplement the family income.

Or it can be said that poor scholars have higher vision and ambition than ordinary people, and they cannot go further in the imperial examination. For the sake of face and effort, they are really not as comfortable as ordinary people.

Li Changshan felt sorry for his wife, but he would not ruin his wife's face by saying these words.

"So, your sister-in-law is happy to marry into our family. When little Chengyan grows up and marries a daughter-in-law, she will also be a majestic mother-in-law."

I can be majestic even without being a mother-in-law.

Li Changshan saw his sister's disapproval and couldn't help but straighten his face and said: "Sui Sui, don't think that marrying someone will make it easier for others. In fact, when we grow up, we will always have troubles of one kind or another. It's not just because of marrying someone. Get worse.”

Li Qiusui was at a loss and couldn't figure out why her elder brother told her this? It was only after she met Zheng Yan that she thought about getting married, "Brother, do you think it's okay to get married? What if we don't lose our temper and quarrel?"

Li Changshan smiled and rubbed his sister's head, "In my opinion, if you encounter problems, solve them; if you encounter conflicts, resolve them. If you don't torture or blame each other, if your emotions are stable and there is no internal friction, your psychology will become stronger and stronger. Have courage. No matter what environment you are in, you can always handle it with ease."

The brother and sister's conversation got further and further. When Zhou Ping came over and discussed the money, they finally bought the village of more than a thousand acres for five thousand taels of silver. Buying wasteland these days costs three to four taels of silver per acre, and a hundred acres of fertile land is calculated as 10 taels per acre, including fruit seedlings, which is a realistic price.

After that, I went to the government office to apply for the deed. The other party's owner was also a member of the official family in the capital. It didn't take much effort and the matter was settled.
