Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Chixia City Rent a House

The next morning, Cheng Ling woke up in Tingquan Courtyard.

The sky was only bright, and the morning sun was already looming behind the clouds, great, it's a sunny day again!

Cheng Ling came to an open space in the courtyard early and stood up on the Tai Chi pole.

Practicing martial arts and qigong cannot be wasted for a day.

In a short while, the solar energy that Cheng Ling consumed yesterday was replenished. Coupled with the moonlight energy she replenished last night, her dantian is full of energy at this moment, which makes her refreshed.

After Cheng Ling finished standing on the tai chi pole twice and played Wing Chun again, the housekeeper suddenly came to report that Wang Qilang is here!

Wang Qilang not only came by himself, but he also brought with him the officials of the county governor's office, as well as the secretary and several yamen officers.

The yamen officers carried wooden boxes wrapped in red silk and walked in. Although they did not beat gongs or drums, they were quite conspicuous.

Wang Qilang brought these people in, and when he saw Cheng Ling, he laughed and said, "Brother Cheng, you have made a great contribution, and the bounty is here!"

By the door of the Moon Cave, Mu Sanniang took Cheng Dani, Cheng Erni, and the two children Hong Xiaolang and Yunniang, standing there as if not knowing how to advance or retreat.

Cheng Erni's eyes lit up, and she quickly covered her lips with her hands to control herself not to exclaim.

Bounty!

The bounty that should come finally came, and this Cheng Ling accepted it very calmly.

She slowly collected her work, took the cloth towel held by the maid next to her and wiped her sweat gently, then turned to Wang Qilang and clasped her fists with a smile: "Brother Wang came so early."

Wang Qilang suddenly said: "What? Think I came too early, did I bother you?"

joked, and then he couldn't hide his pride: "Brother Cheng, the bounty has come, aren't you curious about how much it is? Why don't you guess?"

This kind of expression is enough to prove that the bounty should be very rich. Cheng Ling smiled and said simply: "No guessing!"

Wang Qilang stared angrily, and after a while, he sighed: "Brother Cheng, you are so boring."

asked Cheng Ling where her room was. After she asked, she asked someone to carry the boxes containing the money to Cheng Ling's room.

Wang Qilang still has his careful side as always. After the boxes were carried into the spiritual room, he took out the money from his sleeve pocket and prepared to give it to the yamen who carried the boxes.

Cheng Ling stopped him and opened one of the boxes in front of everyone.

As soon as the wooden box was opened, it was full of copper coins, dazzling and dazzling, and the shock of the coins piled up immediately caused a sound of inhalation.

Cheng Ling also squinted slightly, then called Steward Chen for help, and waved to Mu Sanniang and others.

At the end, he said to the officials of the county governor's office and others: "Brothers have worked hard. Since you have come this time, naturally you can't come in vain. It is good to moisten your mouth and drink tea."

Steward Chen knew it very well. He took a tray and took out twenty strings of copper coins from the box and handed them directly to the leading official. He said with a smile, "One cent for troubled officials." Twenty strings of copper coins, one string of It's a hundred.

Twenty strings, approximately equal to two taels of silver.

After saying that, Steward Chen slipped out a silver bean with a weight of one or two from his sleeve. The silver bean was covered by his gesture and fell into the hands of the official.

The official laughed, his face became extraordinarily kind.

He bowed his hands to Cheng Ling and said, "Langjun is polite. When you have the trouble of running errands later, just tell the brothers, you can't drink Langjun's tea for nothing. Brothers, isn't it?"

The yamen immediately laughed and shouted, "Yes, that's right!"

Cheng Ling responded with a smile, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

Wang Qilang looked a little dumbfounded next to him. At this time, he really wanted to go up and ask Cheng Ling: Didn't my uncle comment on you as "extremely proud"? Are you so proud? This man's sophistication is obviously smoother than me.

After the clerks and the yamen left, Cheng Ling asked Steward Chen to help, and rewarded the servants of the Tingquan Courtyard.

After finishing the chores, Cheng Ling asked Wang Qilang if he had eaten breakfast.

Wang Qilang's eyes were fixed on the unopened box, and he finally held back and did not urge Cheng Ling to continue to open the box, and said casually: "No, I can't eat so early, so I came here to find Brother Cheng to have dinner with him. Woolen cloth."

Tingquan Courtyard is Guan Yuelin's property. Wang Qilang is very familiar with this place, so he is not polite at all.

Cheng Ling originally planned to have breakfast with Mu Sanniang and the others after finishing the morning class. Now that Wang Qilang is here, he can only eat separately.

Shi Hong and Xiao Man were both wounded and had to continue to rest in bed, so Hong Guangyi came out to accompany him.

The breakfast is quite harmonious, the food is very rich, the corn porridge is the staple food, in addition there are four kinds of fresh fruits, there are braised goosefoot as a snack, small meatballs with minced meat, white rice simmered in white water, and two kinds of exquisite shapes. pastry.

Cheng Ling can be considered to have a good meal in a serious manner. At the banquet last night, he drank a lot, and he had to work up his energy to deal with various problems. Cheng Ling didn't pay much attention to the specific dishes on the banquet, let alone eating. .

Now pay attention, because she has begun to pay attention to the diet level of this era.

Not only the level of diet, but also the development of various aspects, Cheng Ling is slowly observing and memorizing it little by little.

If she wants to take her family to build a long-lasting career in this era, she must pay attention to all aspects.

After breakfast, Cheng Ling proposed to look for a house.

About this, she discussed it with Mu Sanniang last night. Since they came to Chixia City, they are bound to stay for a while.

Seize this rare and stable opportunity, they must accumulate their own strength. The best thing is that before the next turmoil comes, they will not only have enough money and materials, but also have a group of people who can be used with confidence.

Speaking of this, Mu Sanniang was a little confused.

She said in shock: "Brother Ling, what do you mean, Chixia City will still be in chaos? Aren't we going to settle down in Chixia City?"

Cheng Ling smiled and said leisurely: "Auntie, this is just the worst plan. If everything is stable, then it's okay for us to settle down in Chixia City."

Who likes to run around if you can live in peace?

It's just that in such troubled times, it's never wrong to plan ahead and leave an extra escape route.

Cheng Ling plans to rent a house first, Wang Qilang has something to say about this.

He said, "Brother Cheng, if you don't feel comfortable living in my brother Guan's house for nothing, you simply rent this Tingquan Courtyard, isn't it just convenient?"

Cheng Ling suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Wang, I can afford to rent this house, but I can't afford the person who takes care of the yard."

After saying , Wang Qilang didn't pay attention to anything else, but he blushed when Cheng Ling said "little brother".

I'm really sorry, why did he let Brother Cheng call himself "little brother"?

ashamed, ashamed.

Several people were talking and laughing, Cheng Ling asked Steward Chen to help him as a guide, and brought Mu Sanniang along, and set foot on the road to find a house in Chixia City.
