Tang Baozhu quickly called someone to summon Li Jun and told him about building the horse farm, to see if her family could build it, and whether it would be taken away by others because they didn't have enough power.
Li Jun arrived in Beijing ahead of time and had already gathered a good understanding of the situation there. He knew that while he could afford to build a horse farm, troubles would follow one after another.
“Wife, building a horse farm is a bit difficult. Even if we build it, we may not be able to protect it. The only hope is that Xiao Ping’an can protect it after he becomes an official. It doesn’t matter how high his official position is, even a sixth-rank official will do.”
"Is someone going to rob it? Or what?"
"They will take your shares under the guise of investment, which is equivalent to getting something for nothing. And there may be more than one or two of them. In the end, the shares you hold may be pitifully small. It's like a losing deal, so there's no need to do it."
Tang Baozhu was a little disappointed. Back in the countryside, buying a barren mountain wasn't a big deal. She never expected that after arriving in the capital, there would be so many twists and turns in trying to do something.
After thinking it over, I realized that my family's power was not strong enough. Just like in the first small world, when you had enough power, who would dare to mess with you?
It's just a bit of a pity that he can't learn to ride a horse. His second son wants to become the top martial arts champion. If he can't ride a horse, wouldn't that be a joke?
Seeing his wife's worried expression, Li Jun hugged her and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, although we can't build our own horse farm, we can train at other people's farms. It just costs some money each year. Anyway, we have plenty of money, but not many. We can send all four of our children to learn."
Tang Baozhu was not surprised at all that there were other people's horse farms. There were plenty of wealthy people in the capital, and a horse farm was just a place for them to play.
“That works too. We can bring all the kids we’ve trained at home with us. At least there will be more people, and we can protect the kids from being taken advantage of.”
After all, every place has its little tyrants who cause trouble and want to bully anyone they don't like.
With more people, everyone can learn to ride horses, and they can also protect their two daughters.
Li Jun nodded to indicate that he had no objection. Seeing that his wife had finished discussing what she wanted to discuss, he simply rolled over and pinned her down.
We've been apart for over two months, how can I not make it up to her these next few days?
Tang Baozhu did not refuse. Women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties. When their real needs are strong, she can handle as much as she wants.
The next morning, after everyone had rested, the whole family prepared to go for a stroll in the streets.
They should at least broaden their horizons and see what their place is like.
When I walked onto the wide street, I was struck by its liveliness. Women were everywhere, and there was no sign of people staying indoors all the time. It seemed like a very positive social atmosphere. I had originally thought this was just a phenomenon in my small town, but it turns out it's the same in the capital.
It seems that the people in this country are quite open-minded. Everyone on the street looks happy, which shows that they are indeed living a pretty good life.
Women never feel tired when shopping. Tang Baozhu and her two daughters were shopping behind them, while Li Jun and his two sons followed behind. The things they bought were carried by the people following behind.
After shopping all afternoon and buying a ton of stuff, I still felt like I hadn't had enough. At noon, I randomly picked a restaurant nearby and had lunch. I must say, the food was pretty good. It's no wonder that this restaurant can survive in Beijing; the taste is exceptionally good.
After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we rested for a while and then continued to browse the shops we hadn't visited in the morning, buying all sorts of things.
The family of six bought a lot of the latest fabrics, jewelry, and all sorts of trinkets in the capital. They finally stopped when the crowds on the streets thinned out.
It's been a long time since I've had such a great shopping trip; I shopped all day long. Even though I might not be able to get up tomorrow morning, as long as I felt good today, that's enough.
After returning home, I distributed all sorts of things to everyone, and everyone got something. The entire main room was filled with the things I bought today.
Tang Baozhu was surprised to find out that she could buy so much, but she was still quite pleased with herself. She told the children to take their things home.
After washing up, the whole family eats together, and then goes to bed.
As expected, no one got up early the next day; everyone got up late, except for the three men in the family who got up relatively early.
After a few days of rest, the whole family got busy. Tang Baozhu also followed the custom in the capital and hired governesses for her two precious daughters. Although the two girls were well-behaved, they were far inferior to the young ladies of the capital, whose every move was like a painting.
It's so pleasing to the eye. When her two daughters are studying, Tang Baozhu sometimes tries to learn along with them and finds it quite interesting.
Xiao Ping'an also found an academy for him to continue his studies. Even though his knowledge was already quite impressive, he still needed to go to a well-known academy for further study. At least it would help him build connections, as the importance of connections in officialdom is self-evident.
Your classmate might be a brilliant writer, or they might come from a powerful family. While it's not about currying favor with them, the saying "a friend in need is a friend indeed" is always applicable.
Xiao Qiangzi continued to practice martial arts with the puppet at home, and every day or two he would go to the horse farm to practice riding and archery.
Of course, he didn't neglect his cultural knowledge either. After all, you need to be able to read military books when you're fighting, so he certainly couldn't fall behind in his knowledge. For this reason, they even hired a teacher to come to their home to teach him about military books.
The whole family was busy, and Li Jun felt that as the head of the family, he couldn't be idle. There were definitely no good fields to sell in the suburbs of Beijing, so he could only continue to keep an eye on those barren mountains.
Tang Baozhu also wanted to try and see if she could dig out a hot spring in the barren mountain, so when Li Jun went to buy the barren mountain, he also asked him to bring a puppet with him. The puppet had the function of detection and knew what was in the mountain.
The minerals they mined in the last small world were obtained because of their powerful detection capabilities. Now, finding a small hot spring is a piece of cake for them.
When Li Jun was leaving, Tang Baozhu kept reminding him to listen to the puppet's words. She wouldn't expose the puppet's identity, but only said that he knew how to see the mountains and that it would be more convenient to take him with her.
