Bianshanhan [farming]

When Li Qingzhuo returned to the border town, he not only wrote poems by himself every day, but also taught Li Qingwen. The poems written by the two brothers, whether good or bad, were copied and clearly marked below.

Back in the capital, Li Qingzhuo sold the booklet of poems to regular customers.

It wasn't the first time for a regular customer to buy poetry, but it was the first time he met someone like Li Qingzhuo who kept writing, and he didn't know whether to be happy or feel sorry for the money.

He bought poems from Li Qingzhuo not because of how talented Li Qingzhuo was, but because he had other plans, but he didn't expect that Li Qingzhuo didn't have the "nobleness" and "strength" of a literati at all, and instead regarded selling poems as a way to make money s method……

Lin Weisheng's disciple is really different from others.

Li Qingzhuo took the money from selling poems and gave it to his third brother. Although it was only a fraction of the money to buy the shop, it was all the money he could afford.

Li Qingwen sold the seized spices and precious furs, not only saved enough money to buy a shop, but also became much richer, while it would take some time for Li Qinghong to settle.

The procedures for leasing and buying and selling beams are rather cumbersome. Before, with the help of old man Du, the Wisteria Alley was able to go so fast, but when it came to Dongcheng, it was a bit of a grind.

Li Qinghong got the silver from his brother and asked him what he bought, Li Qingwen gave him the booklet.

Li Qinghong looked at it, and suddenly felt sad. He took his cousins, prepared before dawn every day, and was busy until dark. If you buy something, you will receive a lot of money, this, this...

Seeing that he was in a daze all the time, Li Qingwen thought he was worried, and said in relief: "Third brother, it's okay, there are still many valuable things that are not sold, even if the newly opened shop can't pay back its capital in the first year, it doesn't matter, the taste of our sheep and scorpions remains the same , there will be more and more people going to eat, and there are so many houses that can accommodate people in the future, at least we don’t need to spend money on food and lodging.”

In fact, Li Qingwen was rich without selling things, but the gold nuggets distributed from Grand Duke Luo Wei's basement were all unprinted. With so many catties of gold, he couldn't spend it outside. He had to wait for an opportunity to exchange it for usable ones later.

Li Qinghong wiped his face and left.

Old man Du came back from visiting relatives, and Li Qingwen sent him the seeds he had collected in the forest, some were flower seeds, some were beautiful shrub seeds, and some were pumpkin seeds.

The old man was overjoyed. When he heard that Li Qingwen was going to study in the capital, he immediately warned him not to go to the Yuebei Private School. There were a few very rigid people there, and he would suffer a lot if he followed them.

Li Qingwen said that he wanted to go to Xueyin School, the old man clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, there is a good place, there is a good flower garden, and flower tea is picked every year, I still have a few taels here, I will give you some water to drink."

While looking for scented tea for Li Qingwen, the old man said that the Xueyin private school was opened by his old friend, and it is good anywhere, but Shuxiu is a bit expensive. If Li Qingwen goes, he will let him know and he can save some money.

Li Qingwen quickly thanked him for his kindness, and told him how delicious the pumpkin was.

I only knew that Old Dutou was hanging out in the wisteria alley, but I didn't expect that he had many friends elsewhere.

Old Du's eyes lit up as he listened.

Although Old Dutou wanted to go to Xueyin Private School with Li Qingwen, but he had something to do and was invited away. Before leaving, he wrote a letter to Li Qingwen, telling him to go there.

Li Qingwen put away his letter and did not go to the outer suburbs immediately. When the second brother was free, the two brothers went to the inner city together to visit Lin Tan.

From Su Shuqing's mouth, Li Qingwen knew that Lin Tan's recall was not just a matter of collecting food and grass, but that his Yue family used to be powerful. , Lin Tan was dragged down by the Yue family, whom he had always relied on.

The magnificent courtyard in front of him can still see the scenery of the past. Ever since the head of the Lu family resigned to recuperate from illness, the front door was closed, and Li Qingwen and his brother asked to see him at the back door.

After reporting their names, a young man soon led them in.

For Lin Tan, Li Qingwen didn't particularly dislike Lin Tan, nor did he like him.

This man is chasing fame and fortune, secretly stealing Jiang Cong's achievements, which is unpleasant, but he made a deal with Jiang Cong, and he did what he promised. Everyone has one eye open and one eye closed.

Li Qingwen and the others originally didn't intend to have any more interaction with Lin Tan. They came here because of Chen Wen's entrustment.

Chen Wen was promoted by Lin Tan, no matter what, his kindness must not be forgotten, he could not come to see Lin Tan, so he packed a lot of things for Li Qingwen and the others to bring over.

Li Qingwen and Li Qingzhuo entered the side hall and saw Lin Tan sitting at the table. He was wearing a plain robe, removed his military uniform and the weapon in his hand, and looked even more refined with a calm expression.

"Chen Wen asked you to come." Lin Tan made a gesture of giving up his seat with a blushing face, and said, "Although it's a bit late, I'd like to trouble you to congratulate Jiang Cong and the others."

Li Qingwen thanked him in a low voice, and politely said that the officers, soldiers and common people in the border town missed Mr. Lin very much, and asked him to take care of himself.

Lin Tan looked at Li Qingwen with dim eyes. Before he left the border town, Li Qingwen and Chen Wen had just been taken away. At that time, he thought that these people would surely die, but he did not expect that they were actually rescued.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Jiang Cong was indeed not afraid of death. With dozens of people and hundreds of unarmed civilians, he dared to cross thousands of miles and enter the enemy's camp...

After delivering the things and letters, Li Qingwen wanted to leave after being polite. After all, he didn't know Lin Tan well, so he didn't know what to say if he wanted to say more.

But Lin Tan asked Li Qingzhuo: "I heard that you worship under Lin Weisheng?"

Not knowing why he suddenly mentioned the teacher's name, Li Qingzhuo nodded in agreement.

"Your teacher may get into some trouble." Lin Tan raised his chin and said, "I never like to owe people anything. You go back and tell Chen Wen to let him get on well in the future and don't associate with me again."

Lin Tan used the news of this reminder as a reward for the Li family brothers to go this trip and send a letter to Chen Wen.

Li Qingzhuo's face turned serious, "Master Lin, the student still wants to ask for advice..."

Lin Tan didn't want to say any more. He stood up and said, "I can't protect myself now, and I don't want to cause any more trouble. You can go back and ask your teacher."

The servants of the Lu family saw off the guests politely, and the two brothers of the Li family had to go out.

Li Qingzhuo was very worried about what Lin Tan said just now, and without delay, the two brothers immediately went back to Wisteria Alley.

Li Qingwen went back to the restaurant, while Li Qingzhuo went to Lin's house alone.

Today, the restaurant was as lively as usual. Li Qingyong and the others were learning how to cut bones and cut meat. Li Qingwen looked at the condiment table and saw that the sesame sauce was running low, so he went to the back to mix the sesame sauce and filled the bowl outside.

Some of the dinner guests brought their children. A little girl stained her skirt and was crying. Li Qingwen helped her clean it up. Made an ugly little bunny.

When Li Qingwen said it was a rabbit, the little girl was stunned. She quickly shook her head and said that rabbits were not so ugly. Li Qingwen pointed out to her the long ears and four legs of different lengths. She still disagreed, but the tears finally stopped.

Because the second and third brothers were not free, Li Qingwen had to hire a carriage to go to the outskirts by himself. The driver was Lao Zhang. Li Qingwen thanked him for the buckwheat noodles, because of this, Border Town benefited a lot.

Lao Zhang, the driver, was as talkative and well-informed as the taxi driver in his previous life. Hearing that Li Qingwen was going to study in a private school, he knew everyone in and out of the city.

"The number one outside the city is the Yuebei Private School!" Old Zhang said eloquently: "The teachers in the Yuebei Private School are all recruited from government schools, and some are from the Imperial Academy. It was a question from the Hanlin Academy..."

Li Qingwen talked about the place he wanted to go, and he opened and closed his mouth, saying: "That, that place is quite big, Shu Xiu is not vague, and there are several large flower gardens. Every summer, there are many people who go to enjoy the flowers. few……"

Li Qingwen: "..."

Coincidentally, they passed by Yuebei Private School when they were going out. There were so many people, the carriage stopped for a long time by the side of the road, and there were a lot of people coming in and out. Li Qingwen deliberately got out of the carriage, stood on the shaft and looked east. In the middle, I really saw rows of thatched cottages! !

Lao Zhang obviously wanted Li Qingwen to change his mind, he shook his head and said, "You can be a master only if you have to endure hardships." Li Qingwen just nodded and didn't speak.

After walking for a few more miles, you can see people working on the other side of the road. Hearing from Lao Zhang that this is the site of the Xueyin Private School, Li Qingwen poked his head, and there was indeed a large manor inside, and there were also people's shadows flickering. , seemed a bit deserted.

As the carriage walked in, Li Qingwen saw wheat growing nearby, and the land was very common loess, so he couldn't help but ask, "Old man, how much grain can this acre of land produce?"

"More than 140 catties." The old man holding the plow stick replied.

The mules pulling the plow rods and the horses pulling the carts moved almost as fast. Li Qingwen simply jumped down and walked along the edge of the ridge, "The harvest isn't that great, so we can grow more sorghum and buckwheat, and then thresh grain."

The weather was warm today, the old man was wearing a cloth scarf around his neck, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Li Qingwen tied up his trouser legs and asked for help.

Li Qingwen has been recovering from his injuries for a year. After gaining flesh, he is white and tender, like a porcelain doll.

Faced with the old man's doubts, Li Qingwen took over with a smile, "My family has hundreds of acres of land, so it's okay if you don't know how to do this."

The old man knew from his posture that he knew how to work, and walked beside him, "Little brother, what are you doing here?"

When Li Qingwen said he was coming to study, the old man smiled, "Why are you here, don't you go to Yuebei Private School?"

"Because my parents told me to take care of my health first, and then to study well..." Li Qingwen said like this. He didn't dislike the thatched cottage too much, but he preferred a spacious place.
