Zhou Tong’s mansion is located in Zhongmu County. It is a Zhongmu house covering an area of ​​about five acres. In Bianjing, this mansion is worth at least 20,000 yuan, but in Zhongmu, Zhou Tong bought it five years ago for only more than 1,000 yuan.?

Zhou Tong has two sons and two daughters. His old wife has long passed away and he has not re-established it. Of course, this house is left for the eldest son, and the eldest son Zhou Zhi is taking care of him.

Zhou Tong has excellent martial arts skills, but both of his sons are studying literature. The eldest son Zhou Zhi was born in the Imperial Academy and is currently the chief clerk of Lushan County, Ruzhou. He specially asked for leave to take care of his father.

Everyone entered the yard, and Li Yanqing took out a bag of 300 taels of silver and handed it to Zhou Zhi and said, "This is the little intention of our disciples. Let's leave it to the master to buy medicine!"

Zhou Zhi refused to accept it, but everyone insisted repeatedly that he had to accept it. He quickly ordered the servants to tie the horses, and then invited the five of them to the living room for a while.

"My father happened to be having lunch break, but he will wake up soon. You come from afar and sit and rest."

"Thank you!"

Everyone sat down, and Zhou Zhi ordered the maid to go and order tea.

"How is the master's situation now?" Li Yanqing asked with concern.

Zhou Zhi sighed and said, "An old friend of my father came to see him from Luoyang yesterday. He is proficient in medical skills. So far, only he said it more reliable."

"What did he say?" everyone asked in unison.

"He said that the injury my father suffered at Daming Mansion at the beginning of the year was not serious. The problem was that this injury caused another serious injury that my father had suffered twenty years ago. That time he was injured by a hammer and lay in the bed for a whole year. Although his body recovered, his old injury had not healed, but was suppressed by his strong constitution. This time he was shot again and again, causing the entire body to decline, and his hearing and vision were probably at a critical stage. Uncle Shi asked me to start preparing for his funeral yesterday."

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhi covered his face and started crying. Everyone hurriedly comforted him. At this time, the little maid ran over and said, "Master, wake up!"

Zhou Zhi quickly wiped away his tears and said to the five of them: "I will take you to see your father. Don't take him too long, he is in poor health."

Everyone nodded silently, stood up and followed Zhou Zhi to the inner house. Everyone walked into the room carefully. The light in the room immediately dimmed. Zhou Tong felt something and slowly opened his eyes. He saw Li Yanqing at a glance, and a smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, holding his hand, and saw that the master became thin and dying, with no gloss on his face. Li Yanqing felt sad and whispered: "Master must take good care of his health and recover soon!"

Zhou Tong could no longer hear what he was saying, but he could understand Li Yanqing's intentions. He pointed to the bedside table with trembling fingers. The eldest son Zhou Zhi understood and quickly took out a box from the cabinet and handed it to his father. Zhou Tong handed the box to Li Yanqing and said with difficulty: "Master left it to you!"

Li Yanqing opened the box and found two thin silk booklets. One said "Bronze Bow Essence" and the other said "Yang Family Gunshu Selection". The writing force was strong, and it was obviously written long ago.

Li Yanqing's nose felt sour and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood the master's intentions.

Zhou Tong laughed with relief and whispered: "Practice your bow well in September."

"The disciple knows, please rest assured, master!"

Li Yanqing stood up and gave it to the others, and everyone knelt in front of the master and talked. At this time, Niu Gao took out a black jade ruler and held it in front of Zhou Tong, "Old man, you should know it!"

Zhou Tong looked at the jade ruler for a moment, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He remembered that this was the commemoration he gave to Wang Jin when Wang Jin left Bian Jing. It turned out that this black-faced boy was Wang Jin's apprentice. He had an appointment with Wang Jin. Wang Jin's apprentice was half of his apprentice, and his apprentice was also half of Wang Jin's apprentice.

"I know it!" Zhou Tong smiled.

Niu Gao quickly knelt down and kowtowed Zhou Tong three times. Zhou Tong looked at Li Yanqing, and Li Yanqing nodded quickly. He understood what the master meant and would take care of Niu Gao more in the future.

At this time, Zhou Tong felt exhausted and slowly closed his eyes. Zhou Zhi quickly shook everyone. Everyone understood and got up and left the ward.

In the yard, Tang Huai hesitated and pulled Zhou Zhi aside and whispered: "There is a saying I don't know if I should say, but I still want to say that my family has a cemetery with good feng shui in the suburbs of Bianjing. If my brother needs it,"

Zhou Zhi shook his head gently, "Thank you, my good intentions. My father's cemetery has been settled. He wants to go back to his hometown in Huazhou and be buried next to his mother's tomb. My father has said more than once that the fallen leaves will return to his roots."

Tang Huai was depressed, so he had to bow with his fists and say goodbye with everyone

On the way back to Bianjing, everyone felt quite heavy and didn't walk fast, so they slowly rode their horses on the official road.

At this time, Li Yanqing took out the marksman and handed it to Yue Fei and said, "You can go back and copy it, it should be helpful to you and Lao Tang."

Yue Fei shook his head, "I gave it to us when we visited the master last time. This marksmanship is only suitable for you. It was specially made up by the master for you. My marksmanship is different from yours. The master said that I will have to practice hard for at least five years to achieve something, as did Lao Tang and Gui Ge'er."

"Okay then! I won't give it to you."

Li Yanqing looked back at Niu Gao, and saw him looking at him with a hurried look, and said with a smile: "I said that as long as you kowtow three times to the master, I will guide you to ride and shoot with confidence."

Niu Gao was overjoyed, "Then I will come to you tomorrow!"

"I really don't have time these two days. I will go to martial arts to find you when I have time."

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something and said to everyone: "You all should know that the bow and horse conference will be held in September!"

Everyone smiled bitterly, and Wang Gui's lazy spirit said in a spiritless manner: "The martial arts of the bow and horse conference must be participated, and all the members will participate. First, the internal martial arts competitions in various states, and then the elite competitions in Bianjing. Finally, ten elites were selected to participate in the bow and horse conference. There were three of the top ten martial arts in the last bow and horse conference. You still know one of them, Zhang Qiao, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember that I met him in Anyang County last year. He was the adopted son of the Zhang family. Now he has restored his real name, He Guan, and he served as a delegation training officer in Dingzhou. But now I care whether you are participating?"

Yue Fei quickly raised his hand and smiled, "My riding and shooting have never been good. Lao Tang and Gui Ge'er's archery bow are good, and maybe there is still a chance."

Wang Gui curled his lips, "Forget it! I can't beat all ten targets until now, and I still participate in the step bow competition, which is simply a dream."

Li Yanqing looked back at Niu Gao and saw that his eyes were firm. Obviously, he was also interested in participating in the September competition."

When he returned to the Imperial Academy, Li Yanqing began to devote himself to his studies. He was busy every day and almost didn't accept the courses in the inner room. He went out in the morning and returned to the dormitory in the evening. After two days, he used his dinner time to go to martial arts to guide Niu Gao to learn riding and archery.

Half a month passed in a flash. That night, the magpie came from Xinqiao and entered the door and said to Li Yanqing: "Little official, the master is back, so you can take time to go there tomorrow."

My father should have come back long ago, but he was determined to buy his own raw material manor, and he has been delayed in Chenliu until now.

Li Yanqing nodded. There was no class tomorrow morning, so he could go there tomorrow morning.

Just as dawn the next day, Li Yanqing and Xique came to Xinqiao store. The store opened early in the morning. What was his father Li Daqi talking to Manager Wu?

Li Daqi turned around and saw his son and hurriedly said, "You are here just in time. Manager Wu wants to expand the store a little and open up the shopkeeper's room inside, so that the store will be expanded by 40%. What do you think?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, I don't want to worry about it!"

"Is your stinky red-colored Wang Family Rouge Shop going to auction? There is no news yet. If I can win the Yujie store, I won't have to expand here. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly and said nothing, but he believed that Zhao Kai still had this kind of integrity. It may be that the government was too slow to do things, and I don’t know when it would be delayed.

At this time, Manager Wu smiled and said, "But there is indeed some movement. Yesterday afternoon, the Wang family's Rouge Shop was sealed by the government. The door was not opened today, and a seal was posted on the door."

Li Yanqing was excited, "That's soon, wait patiently for two more days."

Li Daqi thought for a while and said, "But the store should be opened! Try to complete it tonight and not affect the daytime business."

"Don't worry, boss! This is a small project, and it will be over in one hour. From now on, the inner room will be used as a dressing room and separated by a screen. I think it is very important for a woman to try makeup. She will recognize the brand of Baoyanzhai in the future."

Li Yanqing couldn't help but secretly praise him. This shopkeeper Wu has a business mindset in his later generations and thinks more thoroughly than himself.

"What should I do? Manager Wu decides by himself. How is Daddy buying a manor?"

"The Baihua Garden in Chenliu County is not good. The place is small and the price is high. Later, I thought that maybe it was because the land in Chenliu County is expensive. Later, I went to Cuiqiao Town in Xianping County, where the ancient Baihua Villa was there. I found it, which was the same price as the Chenliu County house, but the manor area was twice as large and close to Caishui."

“What a big manor?”

"It's as big as Zhang's old manor, with a land worth 1,000 acres and 2,000 guan. How about it? It's very cheap!"

"One acre of land costs only two cents of money?" Li Yanqing felt a little incredible. A mu of land in Xiangzhou costs at least five cents of money.

"The land in Kaifeng Prefecture is very cheap, and all the farmers have been sucked away by Bianjing. There are wasteland everywhere. Moreover, it is a remote place in Xianping County. There are only three flower farmers there, and the staff is very tight. I have to find a few flower farmers. I plan to go back to Tangyin County in a few days."

"Dad wants to take Aunt Yang back with you?"

Li Daqi nodded, "I'm going to take her back this time, but I won't be able to drag her down any more."
