Miss Fang is indeed a great beauty, extremely beautiful. Miss Fang has long been interested in Jia Xiucai.
Song Qiu and others all found it interesting.
After seeing the excitement, they also went out of town to visit Taolin yesterday, and now they were ready to have dinner and set off again.
As soon as we returned to the inn and ordered some food, a group of players passed by the door.
But it was a newly minted couple who were going to take a tour along Peach Town and then go to the Fang family to get married.
Wedding candies and copper coins were scattered along the way, attracting many people to follow the team.
The man riding on the tall horse and wearing a wedding dress, except for the eye patch, really couldn't tell the difference between the Jia Xiucai and the scholar before.
Unexpectedly, this Jia Xiucai shaved and shaved his beard, and he was really handsome. So the old lady was not telling lies!
Some passers-by were pointing and talking.
It just means that Jia Xiucai clearly said that he would not marry a wife in this life, but in the end, he was not attracted by the Fang family's huge wealth.
People.
Some people said that the Lefu Inn could not be opened, but now with the financial support of the Fang family, it can be opened at a loss.
This Jia Xiucai must have been willing to hire a wife because the inn could no longer be opened.
Song Qiu listened, thinking about the dilapidated Lok Fu Inn, and vaguely felt that this reason was right. It couldn't be said that it was just because of this.
The inn's business was so bad that Jia Xiucai was reluctant to close it, which shows that he had great affection for this inn.
For the sake of the inn, there is nothing wrong with recruiting a wife.
What's more, Miss Fang only liked him because of his talent.
Miss Fang is so beautiful, so why not?
…
Horse hooves tramped along the wide official road. Three carriages and four mule carriages pulled out a long and mighty procession.
Everyone was sitting in the car and no one was walking, so the speed became faster.
After walking for another two days, we entered Jiyang County, the last city on the way north from Qingping Prefecture.
After leaving Jiyang County, heading towards Xiulin Town is the junction of Qingping Prefecture and Pingjiang Prefecture.
The outside of the town belongs to Pingjiang Prefecture, and the inside of the town belongs to Qingping Prefecture.
The place Gao was talking about was Lianpinggang, thirty miles outside Xiulin Town and twenty miles away from Jingshi Town, Pingjiang Prefecture.
This place is backed by deep mountains. In the early years, there were bandits even on the hilltops, so you know how desolate this area is.
However, bandits are constantly being suppressed on this road going north, and bandit dens large and small have been cleared away. Although this place is deserted, there are no bandits.
When they arrived in Jiyang County, it was only about twenty miles away from Xiulin Town. Song Qiu wanted to make a big effort and wait until he got to Xiulin Town, so he continued on his way after lunch.
As soon as we arrived at Xiulin Town and found an inn to stay, it suddenly started raining.
The spring rain is continuous and lasts for several days.
It was raining and it was inconvenient to go anywhere. Song Qiu and his party stayed in the inn, eating and sleeping. It was very leisurely. They spent a lot of money on eating, drinking and sleeping for a group of more than 20 people.
But there is no need to rush.
When Song Qiu was free, he took Aling and some homemade mahjong blocks with him to play mahjong together.
Lu Jing and others accepted it well. They played it more enthusiastically than playing leaf cards. They all became addicted to it. In the inn, mahjong was played every day.
Because of this, Song Qiu negotiated a deal.
A wealthy businessman from Jiyang County lived across from them. Hearing the sound of mahjong, he happened to see it as he passed by the door. His eyes lit up and he wanted to discuss the mahjong business.
Song Qiu saw that he had good vision and his mind was spinning so fast, so he immediately started talking to him.
They made this mahjong out of wooden blocks. It was simple and rough. It was just for fun at the moment, but if it was used for business, it would be much more sophisticated.
Wooden ones can also be made, polished smooth, painted or something, or you can go the high-end route and make them out of jade.
Anyway, it all depends on performance.
In the end, Song Qiu sold the mahjong set, and also refined the patterns and drawings for the wealthy businessmen to make and sell. He didn't make much profit, but he sold the idea and this freshness. The first one sold for one hundred taels of silver.
It can be considered that all the food and drink expenses wasted by staying here for the past few days have been earned.
Without mahjong, she was bored. Lu Jing was planning to find someone to get wood to make it again, but it stopped raining after a few days.
After it had cleared up for two days and the roads had dried, we set out for Jingshi Town.
Nalianpinggang is under the jurisdiction of Jingshi Town, so naturally you have to go to Jingshi Town to apply for the land deed and other documents.
We got up early and had breakfast and set off from Xiulin Town. At about 4:40, we passed Lianping Gang.
On the left side of the official road are rolling mountains, towering into the clouds, with dense trees and deep forests.
To the right of the official road is an oval lake. When you come across the lake, there is a vacant space next to the official road, about three acres of land. Song Qiu took a fancy to this place at a glance.
The forest on the other side is blocking the sky and the sun, so the view is not good.
This side of the lake is empty and sunny.
I stopped to rest for a while, ate some snacks brought on the carriage to calm my stomach, and took in the whole area.
There is no place to eat here, so it’s noon and I can only continue walking forward.
After walking for another hour, we finally arrived at Jingshi Town.
As soon as we entered the town, we put everything else aside and found a restaurant to eat first. I was starving to death.
After dinner, we found an inn to stay.
The town office was closed in the afternoon, so Song Qiu asked Huang Qixian to take someone out to look for a quiet and suitable small courtyard to rent.
Others stayed in the inn to take a rest.
After getting up early the next morning and having breakfast, Song Qiu and Aling went to the town hall of Jingshi Town with Mo Changping, one of the three people they bought back years ago.
Jingshi Town is quite large and prosperous, and the town hall's appearance is very impressive.
There were quite a few people coming to the town office to do business. Song Qiu and the others waited for a short while before it was their turn.
When he heard that he came directly to the town office to buy public land without going through Yaxing, the old scribe took a good look at Song Qiu and the others before looking through the town's geographical annals.
After searching for a long time, they finally found the Lian Pinggang that Song Qiu mentioned. But when he looked at the records, the old scribe shook his head and said, "This place is not under the jurisdiction of the town government. If you want to buy or sell, we can't be found."
Song Qiu hurriedly asked: "Is that land ownerless?"
It's not impossible for the town hall to earn this money without an owner, but it's not.
The old scribe flipped through the records again, shook his head and said: "This lake is called Shaoyang Lake. It belongs to the Shao family, a wealthy family in the town. The three acres of wasteland you mentioned is also under the name of the Shao family. If you want to buy it, you have to go find it.
Only the Shao family can do it."
When Song Qiu heard this, he did not expect that this time he would encounter a situation involving someone else's private property, which would probably not be easy to handle.
After thanking the clerk, the three of them left the town office.
After sitting down at a tea stall and ordering a pot of tea, Song Qiu asked Mo Changping to inquire about the Shao family while she and Aling waited here.
While waiting, Song Qiu was also thinking in his mind that if the land failed, he would have to find another place. But even in Pinggang, there was no flat land that could build an inn.
Then, there is only one option: forward or backward.
But when I think about the road I walked yesterday, there doesn't seem to be a particularly suitable place.
Song Qiu just wanted the Shao family to be easy to talk to and would be willing to sell the three acres of land.
