The mighty team, the formation was too big, and it was too conspicuous.
At around noon, as soon as we entered Zhang Town, we attracted the attention of everyone in the town.
Even for meals, I had to occupy several restaurants to eat them all.
This is really eye-catching.
Song Qiu couldn't help but think that it was a good thing that they were staying in Zhangzhen and wouldn't be traveling with them. Otherwise, it would be really unbearable to see so much attention along the way.
As for Song Qiu and the others who refused to leave in Zhangzhen, Lu Jing pulled Aling's eyes and asked, "Sister, why don't you go home with me?"
Aling:......
She hurriedly waved her hands, "Okay, okay, go home quickly. Why should I go back with you? I have other things to do!"
Lu Jing didn't take this disgusting attitude seriously. She sighed and said, "Okay, okay, wait until I get home, and then I'll come find you, sister!"
Aling was shocked, "What are you looking for me for?"
Lu Jing nodded heavily and said: "When I go back and settle the matter, I will come to my sister to learn from her!"
"Sister, your martial arts are so powerful. I have never seen such a powerful woman! She is like a heroine! Therefore, I want to become your teacher and learn kung fu from you!"
Aling:......
Her face became even more disgusted, "Okay, okay, let's go quickly, it will be too late, and we won't be able to reach the next town where we will stay!"
After passing Zhang Town, the road was desolate with few villages. It was more than forty miles to the next town, Santai Town. It was too late. We really couldn't reach Santai Town today, so we had to sleep in the wild.
This place is exactly the place mentioned in Gao's letter.
So Song Qiu and the others stayed in Zhangzhen to really do business.
Seeing Lu Jing leaning against the car window and looking back reluctantly. When the motorcade was getting farther and farther away and could no longer be seen, Song Qiu couldn't help but joke to Aling, "Don't you just plan to take on a disciple? This kid is not bad. Take him under his tutelage."
, it’s not a bad idea.”
Lihua continued at the side, "Oh, in that case, your eldest disciple is a rich man! If the master has something to do, the disciple will do his duty. This glorious mission of revitalizing the sect can be left to her!"
Sounds good?
Ah Ling cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, we'll talk about it then! I have to think carefully about whether to accept her as my disciple or not!"
Disciples are not just accepted casually. She has to think carefully about the saying that once she is a teacher, she will always be a father, ahem, mother.
This girl is already ten years old, and her muscles and bones are strong, so she cannot be compared to her younger age. Fortunately, she still has some martial arts background, and her aptitude is better than that of ordinary people.
Either she doesn't accept him, or she accepts him. If her eldest apprentice's martial arts skills are poor, she will be embarrassed.
…
After seeing off Ye Fang and others, Song Qiu was not busy looking for an inn. He settled things first and then drove the carriage to the town hall in Zhang Town.
Zhang Town is very large, and the town hall is more impressive than average.
The old guard at the gate was a retired veteran with a pair of energetic eyes. It seemed that he could tell that A Ling had a light step and that he must be a martial arts practitioner. He couldn't help but ask them a few more questions before letting him go.
When he learned that someone was coming with a handwritten letter from the county magistrate, the director of the pavilion, who had just returned to the back hall to take a nap, came out to welcome him.
Seeing that there were three little girls at the head, they didn't dare to neglect them. After some pleasantries, they called the scribe to entertain them. They couldn't help but tell the scribe to be careful and not to offend them.
At that moment, the scribe respectfully led Song Qiu and the others to the public room.
After we sat down, someone served hot tea.
After a while, the scribe came over with a large book and placed it on the table. The book opened to one page, and on it was the map of Zhangzhen.
The map is very simple, it is a rough route with labels indicating where is which village, where is where, etc.
The clerk pointed to a red route at the bottom, which was the official road out of Zhangzhen.
"Girl, look, this road is the place where Zhang Zhen leads to Santai Town. The area within thirty-five miles is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Zhen. There are two places in it. There are no villages in the ten-mile radius, and they happen to have spacious locations.
One place is here, at Yuqiangou, 14 to 15 miles out of Zhang Town. There are elm trees on one side and grassland on the other side. It is very convenient to build a house.
The other place is here, Luofengpo, which is 27 or 8 miles away from Zhang Town, and almost 20 miles away from Santai Town. It is in the middle of the two towns, and there is a few acres of wasteland next to the official road.
, there is a river opposite, and water is very convenient.”
Song Qiu followed the scribe's directions and listened to the scribe's words while looking at those places.
After listening, she thought both places were good.
Although Yuqiangou is only a dozen miles away from Zhang Town, you have to walk thirty miles from Santai Town.
There are many inconveniences when going out, so people on the road have one thing to say: stay overnight before it's too late.
In short, to prevent sleeping in the wilderness, you have to hurry up and be ready to find a place to stay as soon as the sun starts to set.
If the journey of thirty miles is delayed by rain or something else, it is possible that we will not be able to make it to Zhang Town in the evening after coming from Santai Town.
As for Luofengpo, the distance to the two towns is about the same, about twenty miles each. Not to mention people, these draft animals must rest after walking twenty miles.
In summer, it would be impossible to travel twenty miles without taking a rest.
So, both places are good.
Song Qiu couldn't decide which one to choose for a while. After thinking about it, he decided to buy from others this time. If he bought one, he would buy it, and if he bought several, he would also buy it.
We have enough money, so we might as well decide on both positions first.
Hearing that she wanted both positions, the clerk was pleased and quickly started writing the land deed.
"There happens to be four acres of wasteland in Luofengpo, so I'll allocate it to you, girl. As for Yuqiangou, the grassland is too big, and girl doesn't need so much. Why don't we allocate four acres to you too?"
Four acres of land is quite large and quite enough.
Song Qiu nodded. With the land deed, it was hers to build a house here, but she could use the open spaces nearby to dry clothes and store things.
There was no one else in the wilderness, it wasn't in the town, and no one came to occupy the space with her.
The clerk wrote quickly and quickly wrote down two land deeds, stamped them with the official seal of the town office, and handed them to Song Qiu.
There were a total of eight acres of land, all of which were sold at the price of wasteland, three taels of silver per acre. The scribe didn't even take any money to go through the formalities, a total of twenty-four taels of silver, and he didn't ask for anything more than a penny.
This is the benefit of being a favor, otherwise, how could it be done so happily?
Song Qiu took the land deed and put it away, and was very grateful to Mrs. Gao. She had greeted her in advance and went to see Magistrate Gao in Jianping County. The magistrate Gao gave them a handwritten letter without saying a word, so that they could
It's easy to do things cheaply.
Song Qiu gave twenty-four taels of silver, but then put a piece of broken silver into the scribe's hand. He didn't say much, and just smiled and asked: "May I ask, sir, where can I buy it in the nearest place?"
