Li Jun asked Li He and Li Liu for their opinions and began to look for suitable houses and fields.

   He plans to buy it as soon as he gets the money, so he needs to be optimistic in advance, and then he only needs to pay the bill. No matter what era, buying a house, a shop, and buying land are big events, so it is natural to compare them again and again.

  Li He and Li Liu both decided to buy the house in the capital. Although the house price is very expensive, it is close to home, and brothers and sisters can take care of each other in the future.

  The outer city where Liuer Hutong is located has all three religions and nine streams. Most of them live in small and wealthy merchants, but the safety is not guaranteed, so the three brothers and sisters decided to look for some.

  The further you go to the inner city, the more diligent the yamen patrols, and the safer it will be.

   Li Liu needless to say, but Li He made up her mind not to marry, so her safety will be the first factor in living alone in the future.

  Houses in the capital are hard to find, so take your time.

   And the shop was even more difficult to find. In the end, the three decided not to buy in the capital, but to go to Baoding.

   As the last stop on the Nanlu Road to Beijing, Baoding is very poor, but the strange thing is that the local business is quite good, especially the business such as accommodation and catering.

   So buying a shop and renting it out can also make a lot of income every year.

   As for the land, the three siblings unanimously decided to buy it north.

  Because Baoding is not far from the capital, good fields are also very scarce, and they are often robbed as soon as they appear.

   The three of them wanted to buy a lot of land, and they wanted to concentrate a lot, so it was difficult to buy suitable ones in Baoding.

   And they were short on time, so they had to go north.

  The north is vast and sparsely populated. In the early years, there was a threat of Tatar rebellion. Last year, after the two countries signed a peace treaty, there were fewer minor conflicts.

   It is said that there is a horse market at the border now, and the security has been greatly improved, and refugees have begun to migrate to the north.

   After all, there are more people and less land in prosperous areas such as the south, and the "wasteland" has long been reclaimed, and they can't grab the local tenants who can rent and plant the land, so it is better to go north.

   So now, buying land in the north is not only fertile and cheap, but as long as you pay attention, you can rent it out quickly, and you don’t have to worry about being abandoned.

   And the place they chose was not far from the capital, only five days away from Daning. Find a reliable dental office to look for it, and then go on-site investigation after integration.

Li Jun found the largest tooth bank in the capital. Not only did it have an official background and it also had branches in several nearby houses, but the three sisters and brothers finally decided to buy the land with a total of 90,000 silver, which was a huge sum of money. Therefore, the receptionist was very attentive. After receiving the order, he immediately went north to find it, and returned ten days later to report the situation of the places he visited to the three.

   The last three unanimously decided to choose Daning.

  Daning County has a total population of only 16,000 people. It is a subordinate county, but its area exceeds that of other large counties in the south of the Yangtze River, because the area of ​​mountains and forests is large. Of course, the most important thing is that it is near Kaipingwei.

   It only takes one day to get to Kaipingwei by horse, which means that if the Tatar army captures Kaipingwei, then Daning will be the first to take the brunt.

   Therefore, in the past ten years, Daning has experienced serious population loss, and the land is barren.

The report from the   Ya people listed the land price in Daning in detail. The high-grade land is only five taels per mu, and the inferior land is only three taels per mu. If you buy more, you will also get some wasteland.

   Compared with the land price in Beijing, it is like the price of cabbage.

  The most important thing is that now the border is stable, and there will only be more and more people going to Kaipingwei through Daning in the future, so the three dare to buy the land there.

  Li Jun decided to go to the field with Yaren to have a look. If the fertility of the land is really good, he will make a decision, and he will be able to transfer the property as soon as the money arrives.

  The three sons and daughters went out early and returned late for a month, and they disappeared. Li Hong had no doubts at all. Every day, he happily planned how to spend the money when he got it.

Li Hong didn't doubt it, but Mei was suspicious. After the third sister and brother returned late again, she finally couldn't help but go to Li Liu, "Sister Liu, what have you been doing during this time, why do you always come back late? ?"

  Li Liu's heart tightened, and he lowered his head to cover his expression and said, "Go and help my brother, oh mother, don't ask me, go and ask my brother."

   "Don't you do something bad outside?"

   "Mother, do you think we are doing bad things?"

   Seeing that she couldn't ask her, Mrs. Mei could only turn around to look for Li He, but after wandering in front of her door for a while, she still turned around to look for Li Jun.

  Since Li Liu didn't want to say it, and Li He wouldn't say it, he might as well go directly to Li Jun.

Facing her son, Mrs. Mei was a little nervous, and after walking around in front of him for a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Brother Jun, what are you doing for the past month who have been out early and come back late? You went out for ten days some time ago. Don't lie to your mother, you don't believe me if you go out to find a medicine farmer. Didn't you say that you haven't graduated yet, you still have to study with Doctor Li for more than two months, why would you go out to find a medicine farmer at this time?"

  Li Hong doesn't care about his children, not to mention Li Jun made excuses to leave for ten days, but he didn't return home for ten days without making excuses. As long as Mrs. Mei didn't mention him, he probably wouldn't know that his son was not at home.

   As for the two daughters, they can't wait to see him as a father, and they usually run to the shop when they have something to do. When he woke up in the morning, he was in his prime, except for the occasional home of Mei, he could not see his two daughters at all.

   As for the evening, Li Hong's nightlife is very rich. Even if he takes a stool to the side of the teahouse and listens to people's stories, he can hear that the teahouse is closed. When he came back, his two daughters went to bed early, and naturally he didn't notice anything unusual.

   But Mei's is different. The focus of her life is on her three children. She didn't believe Li Jun's excuse from the beginning, but she always trusted her son, so she didn't ask much.

But recently, two daughters have been abnormal. They don't even go to the shop. They run out all day. Every day when they come back, they close the door and whisper. Do bad things outside.

  Li Jun was silent for a while, then glanced outside. Seeing that the door had not moved, he knew that his father had not come back, so he lowered his voice and said, "Mother, we are going to buy land in Daning."

  Mei's face was blank, "Where is Daning?"

   "It's a five-day journey from the capital, and it's quite far anyway."

   "How can we buy it so far, we can't take care of it," Mei said dissatisfied: "And where does our family get the money now?"

Li Jun pointedly said: "I don't want to buy it now, I want to buy it later. We have bought a lot of land. When the time comes, we can directly rent the land to others to plant, or we can hire a long-term worker to help with the cultivation, and we can collect some rent or food every year. As long as there is no major natural and man-made disaster, it will not be a loss.”

  A guess popped up in Mrs. Mei's mind, she was startled, grabbed her son's arm and said, "You, why are you so bold, your father has already thought of where the money will go, once he knows..."

   "Don't worry, mother," Li Jun reassured her: "Didn't father listen to me for the past two years?"

   "Well, that's different," Mrs. Mei murmured, "We hadn't returned to the clan at that time, so it's natural that you have the final say in the family."

   At that time, the Li family did not belong to the clan, so whoever had the biggest fist in the family naturally listened to it.

   But now that the Li family is about to return to the clan, the family can intervene in such matters. Once Li Hong shouts that Li Jun is unfilial, the family can crush Li Jun to death, not to mention at such a sensitive moment.

  Li Jun said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother, no matter how bad I am, I will still be father's only son. In the future, we will all have to support me. No matter how confused my father is, I won't be so confused. Besides, there is still a second sister here."

   Thinking of Li Hong's fear of Li Baolu, Mrs. Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "Then this matter should be kept secret. You can't let your father know, or something might happen."

   "I know, don't worry, mother." Li Jun didn't tell her that the money was divided into three by him, so she made her think that the property was purchased for the family.

   Anyway, we will know when the eldest sister and the younger sister get married or separate and leave.

  Li Jun has been busy for more than a month, and finally he is optimistic about the house, shop and field, and has also negotiated with the Yaxing, and he will be able to transfer the money in early July at the latest.

  This is a big deal, and the money involved is as much as 120,000 taels. Therefore, the tooth bank specially sent a manager to document the order, so that customers can enjoy attentive service and return with satisfaction.

  So Zai Lijun said that the money was in Shunde, and the people who needed their Yaxing also went to Shunde and sent a team of people generously when the Yaxing was handed over.

  The Li family set off for Shunde on June 20, and when they arrived in Shunde, they had to discuss their itinerary with the Li family.

   On the other hand, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun set off at 24:00 on June 24, rushing to Shunde.

   This was the first time for Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu to ride a long-distance rush horse, so they both bruised their thighs.

  Li Baolu thought that Gu Jingyun would not be able to bear it, but she didn't expect that she was the one who complained in the end.

  Gu Jingyun said with a smile while applying medicine to her: "Your skin is too tender, that's why this is the case. It's not just because you have deep inner strength."

   "Yes, you have thick skin, you won!" She used all the medicine prepared for Gu Jingyun, and Li Baolu wanted to cry without tears.

   Gu Jingyun comforted her and said, "You should be able to enter the city before noon tomorrow, so you can catch up with tomorrow's ceremony, don't worry."

  Li Baolu snorted twice and fell asleep with heavy eyelids.

  Gu Jingyun pulled up the quilt to cover her, then squeezed in, put his arms around her waist and closed his eyes to sleep.

   The conditions of the inn where they live now are not good, and there are always some disturbing noises at night, but the journey is exhausting, and Gu Jingyun, who has always been critical, quickly falls asleep.

   But he was very alert, so he woke up when there was movement outside the door.

  Gu Jingyun opened his eyes to adjust to the darkness in the room, got up and walked to the door, Nan Feng whispered outside: "Master, it's already nine hours."

   Gu Jingyun responded in a low voice, and when he was dressed, he dug up Li Baolu, "Get up and get dressed, I'll go get you some water."

   As soon as the door was opened, Nanfeng brought hot water, and he didn't need to go to the kitchen at all.

   It was half an hour after taking a shower and having breakfast. The three of them rode fast horses to Shunde and arrived before noon.

  Li Jun stood at the gate of the city in person, and when he saw the three people who came to beat the horse, he immediately showed a big smile and waved to them, "Second sister, second brother-in-law!"

  Li Baolu jumped off the horse, exhaled and said, "Finally arrived, how are you preparing?"

   "Back to the second aunt's words," said a steward-like person behind Li Hong and said with a smile: "The old men in the clan are all ready, and the ancestral hall will be opened as soon as the auspicious time arrives tomorrow."

  Li Jun glanced at him, nodded slightly and said, "I know little, but the third grandfather said that everything that should be prepared is ready, just wait for the auspicious tomorrow."

Li Jun invited two people to get on the carriage, handed the horse to the servant who was following him, and when he got into the carriage, he smiled and said, "We are living in the ancestral house now, and our family's ancestral house was raided by the latter three. Grandpa bought it, and now it has been re-recorded under my father's name."

  Li Baolu closed her eyes and said, "When you look back, remember to ask the clan to make up for the money that the third grandfather gave back then."

  Li Jun was stunned.

  Li Baolu smiled and said, "This house was arranged for us by the clan, so naturally the clan should buy it from the third grandfather. We can't take advantage of the third grandfather."

  Li Jun understood and nodded in response.

  The two of them stopped talking, and Gu Jingyun closed his eyes to rest, so the inside of the car was silent.
