As soon as Li Zhong walked out of the Qiao family's gate, he shouted to the crowd outside who had not yet dispersed: "Well, well, don't leave yet, go back and ask the young and old in your family to bring their food to help with the cooking. Aunt Qiao is treating us to meat today! She will also accompany us to the mountains in the afternoon!"
Wang Dagui looked around for a few times before rushing over and whispering, "Village chief, with Aunt Qiao's energy, we won't get anything if we go hunting with her!"
"It's different this time. Aunt Qiao said that we are the main force this time. She will stay in charge for us and won't take action unless there is danger. She will decide how many prey we can hunt when the time comes!"
"Is there such a good thing? What does she want?"
"What can they gain? They just want to build good relationships with everyone. I think this family is very kind!"
"We can't push them too far. The Qiao family will surely be good in the future. The second child is a student. Can you tell that she looks like a scholar? She goes hunting in the mountains just like us!"
As they talked, they became more and more excited and began to talk nonsense. Li Zhong saw that they were not paying attention to booking a car and interrupted them hurriedly: "Okay, since you know that he is a student, he may be able to become a juren or jinshi in the future, so why can't he be able to be both civil and military? If you keep talking nonsense, you will lose your head!"
The scene was silent for a moment, everyone looked at him!
Li Zhong was worried sick when he saw these rough guys. He couldn't tell any profound truths, but he knew that it would not hurt to have a good relationship with people like the Qiao family!
He said what was in his mind: "No matter what happens in the future, you can tell me how the Qiao family compares to those landlords and officials we met before! Anyway, I am happy to live with such neighbors, and I feel comfortable! If the Qiao family needs us again, I will say nothing! If there are women in office, I want Aunt Qiao to take on the responsibility of village chief!"
"Village chief!" Wang Da Kui screamed!
Li Zhong didn't even look at him. He left a message and rushed back to his home. "I have delivered the message. You can go or not without any hesitation. If you are willing to come, eat and gather at the village entrance with your weapons!"
In a flash, all the hunters who had gathered dispersed. They had to quickly notify their wives and mothers at home, and the children should go to the Qiao family to help with the meat feast!
Qiao Yunqing, Qiao Xin and others in the yard heard everything that was said outside the door clearly!
These rough guys were plotting loudly at the door of their house. Should they cover their ears? Old Man Mo and Granny Shi stole a glance at the faces of the Qiao family masters. Seeing that they were normal, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. These idiots are enough!
Qiao Yunxin looked at the pile of meat on the ground and felt very embarrassed!
I couldn't help but say what my wife said: "Mom, isn't this too much meat?"
Qiao Xin mixed the medicine and said, "Keep half and freeze it to eat slowly! Send some to the Fan Mansion, and sell the rest. I will personally deliver it to you this afternoon. By the way, ask if the North Mountain behind can be bought!"
Qiao Yunxin was so shocked that he could hardly hold the knife in his hand, "You want to buy Beishan?" Everyone in the yard looked at Qiao Xin in surprise!
"I do have this plan, so I asked you to find out if you can buy it!"
"Mother, Qingyang Academy is on Beishan Mountain, I'm afraid it's difficult to handle!" Qiao Yunqing still knows something about Beishan Mountain. Beishan Mountain was indeed a prosperous Xueyuan built by the great Confucian scholars of the previous dynasty, but the new emperor and the last emperor both studied here for a year when they were young. Qingyang Academy was once involved in political struggles and was repeatedly destroyed during the turbulent years. In the end, there were fewer and fewer students, and the academy gradually declined and withered. After the last dean dismissed all the teachers and students, Qingyang Academy closed down.
Strictly speaking, the North Mountain is just a dilapidated ruin. But because this ruins involves too many unknown things about the new emperor, no one dares to touch it. In the previous life, a wealthy businessman turned the academy into a manor for the dead, and ended up with the whole family being executed! Only Qiao Yunqing knew that the new emperor hoped that someone would take the initiative to restore the glory of the academy.
Qiao Xin said her plan, "What's so difficult about it? I'm not buying the ruins of Qingyang Academy. I value the woodland on Beishan. Qingyang Academy can be used as a ruins, and it can be left intact. After buying Beishan, it can be converted into an orchard. Of course, if the government allows the academy to be sold to me, I can build a new college on the original site in the future, and let the children of Laohu Town go to study there. It's better than letting it be abandoned like this."
"Go ask. If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll make another plan!"
"Mom, I don't think our family has that much money? We won't be reclaiming the land next year?"
Qiao Xin sighed, "So I'm asking first. What's the big deal if you don't have money? I can earn more money if I don't have money! Besides, there's no contradiction between reclaiming wasteland and farming. I'm just thinking of having an orchard and growing some fruits I like. We can go to Weizhou Prefecture to sell them when the time comes, or we can satisfy our own cravings! Second brother, you don't even know that I'm your mother. I never lack fruits all year round."
Everyone else thought Qiao Xin was talking about her childhood, but only Qiao Yunqing understood what Qiao Xin was talking about! Life here must be too different from her previous life!
"Let's go ask around. If Auntie wants to buy it, then buy it! If we don't have enough money, we can earn it together!"
Qiao Xin laughed; "Okay!"
Zhang looked at her mother-in-law and then at her husband. She thought that the two of them were mentally ill and crazy. That was a huge mountain! How could she just buy it? She opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw her silent sister-in-law, she shrank back!
When Qiao Yunqing said he was going to inquire, he really wasn't trying to fool Qiao Xin.
When Butler Fang heard his men come to report that someone had sent wild boar meat to the mansion, he was quite surprised: "Isn't it impossible to buy meat? Whose family is this?"
