The next day, Zhao Qi did not go out.

From morning to afternoon, except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, I have been sitting under the pergola of the cave, holding a quill in one hand and a simple bamboo ruler in the other while writing and painting. Sometimes I have pinched my chin and pondered for a long time.

There was a cup of tea on the table, but the tea had already been warm and cool, and there was a faint fragrance of tea and ink floating in the air.

Xiaozhu leaned on the edge of the table with her chin in her hands, looking at Zhao Qi, with her little face and eyes with an extremely admiring look.

Because the various patterns drawn by Zhao Qi were extremely complex, she couldn't understand them at all.

Old Mrs. Su didn't bother. She planted some onions, ginger and garlic in the vegetable field outside, and asked Xiaozhu to serve tea and water next to her.

Since Zhao Qi woke up, he was more and more surprising. Xiao Zhu didn't understand why, so he thought that his young master had recovered from his illness, but Old Lady Su could clearly feel that his grandson had changed so much that it was completely unbelievable. It was no exaggeration to say that the mountain god appeared, and even the gods came down to earth to possess the body were completely over.

Every move, every word, every action, every action is not something that normal people can do.

Twenty thousand pounds of money, although in her opinion it is not a huge wealth.

But it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do if they get such a large amount of money in just over ten days.

At present, not only Yang Dayuan and others obeyed his advice, but also the two disciples he met were very convinced by his expressions.

He naturally saw the changes in his grandson and remembered them in his heart, but Old Lady Su never interfered in what Zhao Qi did, and he basically didn't ask.

No matter what changes happened to Zhao Qi, Old Lady Su firmly believed that he was his grandson.

A secret that had been hidden in the center of her heart for more than 30 years seemed to become brighter and brighter as Zhao Qi sobered up, and perhaps one day it would be revealed to the world.

"Brother Qi'er Qi'er..." Ermao rushed from a distance with a sweat, rushing like a wild dog rushing into the cave.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qi raised his head slowly.

"Haha, good news, Liu Dong replied, Pig Large Intestine agreed to sell the land to us?" Ermao rushed under the pergola, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"So fast!" Zhao Qi was excited to throw the quill into a broken pottery bowl that was used as an inkstone.

"Bah, it's bitter and astringent, not as delicious as cold water!" Ermao excitedly put down the teacup and spitted while nodding hard, "Liu Dong just asked me and asked when we will sign the contract!"

Haha, OK, OK, it seems that the task is done. You should hurry up and find Uncle Dayuan and Uncle Dahu, and ask them to find the Third Master. Let's go and discuss with Liu Dong and buy the land as soon as possible." Zhao Qi stood up happily.

"I'll go now!" Ermao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and turned around.

"Wait, did Liu Dong say how much is the land per acre?" Zhao Qi grabbed Ermao's clothes.

"I didn't ask about this, but we all know that wasteland. There is nothing but stones and sand, and we can't grow grass. The good fields in the town are only more than ten acres of good land, and the wasteland is at most two or three cents. The wasteland in Dawan Village is probably too much for Yi Guan. Liu Dong didn't say it in detail, just said that the price is cheap, so let's prepare it quickly!" Ermao said anxiously.

"That's good. You go to find Uncle Dayuan and the others first. We will go to Liu Dong's house to meet later!" Zhao Qi let go with a smile.

"Okay!" Ermao thrust his legs and left, and soon disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

Zhao Qi selected two drawings on the table and stuffed them into his arms. He ordered Xiaozhu to carefully pack the remaining ones, then went to the storage room to get a total of 2,000 taels of silver and put them on him. He took out an account book with the Debang warehouse, and carefully wrote down the record of buying land on a certain month and a certain day of the month and a certain day.

Walking out of the cave with the silver notes in his arms, Old Lady Su and A Lian were busy working on the small vegetable field that Zhao Qi had flattened. They were still chatting softly while planting, while Baoer was playing beside him.

"Brother Xiaoqi!" Seeing Zhao Qi come out, Baoer ran up happily.

"Be good to Bao'er!" Zhao Qi bent over and picked up Bao'er, regardless of whether there was any soil or not.

"Xiaoqi!" A Lian wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves, and a few shallow mud marks stuck to her delicate cheeks, looking more charming as she didn't see on weekdays.

"Qi'er, are you done?" Old Mrs. Su also stood up.

"Grandma, Dawan Village, the land we mentioned yesterday, I promised to sell it to us. I'll go and see it later. If we can buy it, our warehouse opening will be almost halfway done!" Zhao Qi nodded with a smile.

"Son, you have your own ideas about opening a warehouse, but there are many people on the dock and the situation is complicated. You must be careful, but there are losses and profits in business, so don't worry too much!" Old Mrs. Su nodded and reminded.

"Grandma, I know, but if the warehouse is opened, I will definitely be busy. I can't stay at home with you. Please and Xiaozhu are more careful at home."

"How can you do such a big thing? Mother-in-law and mother? You used to be crazy and running around, and you didn't have the last meal. I'm not doing well yet, let alone A Lian and Grandma Zhang Xiaomi are at home. We won't have any trouble. You should be busy with whatever you should do, don't worry about us!" Old Mrs. Su said seriously with a crutch.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqi, I'm at home every day, and I will help you watch out for Grandma Su and Xiaozhu!" A Lian said softly.

"Then thank Sister A Lian. A'an hasn't hit you again recently, right?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Dad hasn't been home for several days, we almost have no rice to eat!" Baoer whispered with her arms around Zhao Qi's neck.

"It's too much. It's really too much. If you make money but don't support your family, it's all right to leave the orphan and widowed mother at home!" Old Mrs. Su was so angry that she stomped her crutches.

"Grandma, you'll give A Lian some money to use first. I've been busy these days and haven't gone to the warehouse. I don't know about A'an's situation. When I arrange the warehouse, I'll talk to A'an!" Zhao Qi also comforted with a somewhat ugly expression.

"I want to talk to him and say..."

The old woman muttered to go back to the cave to get the money while holding a crutch. Before Zhao Qi could speak, A Lian's two lines of tears flowed down, and she squatted on the ground with her arms covering her mouth and sobbed.

"Sister A Lian, I can only talk about A'an's affairs. You also know that he has some conflicts with me..." Zhao Qi didn't know how to persuade him.

It is said that it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision. A Lian’s marriage is not happy, but it is said that marrying a chicken and marrying a dog and following a dog. This person at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty had already begun to be influenced by Neo-Confucianism. Many people believe that women follow the three and four virtues are the most manifestation of keeping their wise.
