Before Huang Qiu left, Liu Jing asked him for ten days' leave on behalf of Ma Zhou. Huang Qiu naturally agreed to this trivial matter.
Ma Zhou had been working hard for most of the day and was extremely exhausted. After taking leave, he could go back to rest. Liu Jingling ordered an official to go to the market to hire an ox cart to take Ma Zhou back to the official's house.
At this time, Liu Jing once again felt the inconvenience of lack of means of transportation. Unfortunately, he only had a few thousand money left on him. Buying a cow, let alone a horse, would drain his wallet dry.
A real man cannot be without power for a day, nor can he be without money for a day.
If you have no power, you will be dependent on others; if you have no money, you will inevitably have your hands tied.
For a time traveler, it is very easy to make money, but it is a bit difficult to acquire hundreds of millions of funds in two or three years that can be "squandered" at will.
He already had an idea about this, which was an idea he formed when he first came to the city. It was also an important factor that drove him to take up a job in the city.
However, now is not the time, and it needs to wait until he has fully grasped the power of the real estate market before it can be implemented.
He set a deadline for himself: he must replace Huang Qiu and become the master of the market within this year.
After all, time waits for no one...
There was still half an hour before the market closed. Song Gu drove an ox cart and arrived in front of the market building. Liu Jing was going to have a rest tomorrow and he was here to take Liu Jing home.
Liu Jing called Song Gu into the house and asked about the situation at home. Fortunately, everything was fine at home and nothing special happened.
When the closing drum sounded, Liu Jing immediately took the bullock cart back to the official's house to pick up the dove cart and the gifts prepared for his family. He also took home the books he had read, as well as bean sprouts, which Liu Jing had eaten several times.
It's very fresh and delicious. It's better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it with everyone. It also allows the family to try it.

Liu He and Liu Rao had a hurried dinner and couldn't wait to lead their nephew Hutou to the big locust tree outside their house to wait for Liu Jing's return.
If not for the mother's disapproval, both Liu and his nephew would have taken their sister and nephew to the outside of Liu's Wu to greet her.
The three of them sat under the tree, holding their chins in their hands, looking longingly at the west.
The setting sun fell from the horizon little by little, and finally disappeared. The sky then darkened, and night was approaching.
In Changsha in May, the weather was humid and muggy, and mosquitoes were infested. A few people stayed outside for a long time, just like a delicious meal deliberately delivered to their doorsteps. Soon they were bitten by mosquitoes, and their foreheads and cheeks were red and swollen, itching and painful, and they could not sit still.
Just when they were about to lose their hold, an ox cart came slowly into view, and the person driving it was none other than the servant Song Gu.
"My lord is back, my lord is back..." Liu Qun clapped his hands and said happily.
Ever since his uncle left home, he would talk about it countless times every day. Even in his dreams, he would think about his uncle's dove car.
He will finally have a dove car of his own.
Liu He and Liu Rao were also looking forward to it, and Brother A agreed to give them a gift.
The bullock cart stopped steadily, Liu Jing jumped out of the car, picked up his nephew Liu Qun who was running over, and held him in his arms. Seeing the redness and swelling on his forehead, he felt very distressed and said: "There are many mosquitoes outside.
Why don’t Hutou stay at home and wait?”
Liu Qun said in a clear voice: "Hu Tou wants to see the adults as soon as possible."
Liu Jing rubbed the insect patches on his forehead for him and said, "Tiger Head would rather be bitten by mosquitoes than go out to greet him. My uncle was very touched."
Seeing that Liu Qun was absent-minded, staring at the ox cart and looking around, as if he was looking for something, how could Liu Jing not know what he meant, and smiled and said: "The tiger head is looking for the dove cart? Don't worry, my uncle will definitely not do what he promised you."
Break your promise."
Liu Qun immediately felt relieved and said, "Thank you, sir. Apart from my father and mother, you are the person who treats me the best in the world..."
Liu Jing asked Song Gu to take out the dove cart and place it on the ground.
When Liu Qun saw the dove cart, he immediately struggled out of Liu Jing's arms, holding a rope, and ran into the house dragging the dove cart, cheering non-stop.
Liu Jing shouted at Liu Qun's back: "Hutou, run slower, run slower... don't fall."
Liu He and Liu Rao said sadly: "Brother, we were also bitten by mosquitoes."
Liu Jing rubbed Liu He and Liu Rao's bun, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, A Ruo, A Li has also worked hard. Brother, thank you very much."
Liu He asked expectantly: "Brother, what gift have you prepared for me?"
Liu Rao said softly: "And me."
Liu Jingdao: "Brother, I have put a lot of thought into choosing gifts for you. You will definitely like it. This is not a place for talking. Let's go in and talk."
Liu Rao couldn't help but pout, brother, didn't he do this deliberately to titillate people?
Liu He teased her from the side: "A Li, your gift won't run away, why are you in such a hurry?"
Liu Rao rolled his eyes at him and followed Liu Jing's footsteps closely.
"Wait for me……"
Stepmother Zhang and sister-in-law Lai Ci were sitting in the hall, chatting and waiting. When they saw him returning, they immediately stopped talking.
Liu Jing came to his stepmother Zhang, bowed respectfully and said: "Mother, my son is back."
"Yeah." Mrs. Zhang nodded calmly.
Liu Jing didn't take it seriously and bowed to his sister-in-law Lai Ci again: "Sister-in-law, I'm back."
Lai Ci sat elegantly and said softly: "Zhongda, thank you for your hard work. I heard from my neighbor Liu Liang that you were appointed as the city's left history, and your position was only under the supervision of the city. You and the supervision of the city usually get along well.
?"
Liu Jing replied: "The supervisor is not a vulgar person. He is a descendant of the Huang family, a wealthy family in Linxiang. We get along quite well with each other."
Lai Ci said calmly: "That's good."
Liu Jing looked at Lai Ci's pale and beautiful face and said, "My sister-in-law looks better than when I left home."
Lai Ci nodded and said, "Since I have made an agreement with Zhongda, my sister-in-law will definitely abide by it."
Liu Jing nodded happily, and then opened the cloth bag he carried with him, which contained all the gifts he had prepared for his family.
The first was stepmother Zhang. Liu Jing knew that she always valued appearance, so the gift he prepared for her was a box of rouge.
Then there is his younger brother Liu He. He likes swords very much, and Liu Jing’s gift to him was a dagger.
Then there is the younger sister Liu Rao. She is ten years old this year and has begun to love beauty. The gift Liu Jing gave her was a hosta.
As for his sister-in-law Lai Ci, because she had recently lost her husband, she was not suitable for accepting things for enjoyment. Liu Jing had no choice but to fold some fragrant and elegant flowers on the roadside when he returned home, made them into a bouquet, and gave them to Lai Ci as a gift.
.
"Thank you Zhongda, my sister-in-law likes it very much." Lai Ci was surprised and delighted by Uncle Ji's gift of flowers. She held the flowers, lowered her head and sniffed them, and her nose was instantly filled with fragrance. It was a cold spring when her husband died, and since then
