Luo Heng finally left with mixed feelings, and Luo Shi also took four buns for Luo Heng to take back.After seeing off his grandfather, Luo Xin said to his mother:

"Mother, go and find out who in the village wants to sell their fields."

"Xin'er, do you want to buy a field?" Luo Shi's face showed joy.

"Yes, mother, this is an opportunity."

"Okay, mother, go and inquire now."

Luo Shi went out in a hurry, Luo Xin returned to the house and sat on the chair, thinking about going to the Lu Mansion tomorrow to pay some money, and then buy the land. After that, the family will have a foundation, and life will be truly stable.

He picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea, holding it in his hand and drinking it slowly, with all kinds of things in his mind.

If you can set up a hundred mu of land, you will have no worries at home in the future, and you can study with peace of mind, leaving aside all trivial matters and focusing on achieving fame.

"Now I feel that my teacher and adoptive father are not helping me much in terms of learning. Should I stay at home and concentrate on studying the classic articles I transcribed?"

Luo Xin shook his head gently: "No, I have to go. I haven't fully learned the knowledge of my adoptive father and teacher, not to mention that my adoptive father and teacher often talk to me about the way of being an official and doing things. Once father and teacher talk to each other, he will gain more experience. Also, if he does not contact foster father and teacher for a long time, the relationship will also weaken. It is better to go once every ten days. The rest of the time is at home to study these later classics article.

If I become a scholar two years later, I must go out and travel. At that time, I will have less time to study articles, so these two years are very important to me. I must thoroughly understand the articles I have transcribed.

Eldest brother is 13 years old this year, and when I leave the scientific examination two years later, elder brother should also be married to Sister Yun..."

Luo Xin was thinking this way and that, the sun in the sky was gradually setting, and the room was slowly getting dark.

There was a "squeak", followed by footsteps, and Luo Xin knew it was his mother's footsteps.Sure enough, his mother walked in from the outside in a hurry, Luo Xin hurriedly poured a glass of water for his mother, Luo Shi picked it up and drank a few sips, then put down the glass and said:
"Xin'er, I've made some inquiries. Now many families in the village want to sell their fields, and the total area is about 600 mu."

Luo Xin's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the courtyard door again, and Luo Ping and Luo Qing walked in.Luo Xin stood up and opened the window and said:
"Father, brother, go into the house and discuss something."

Luo Ping and Luo Qing walked into the room, the two first drank water, and then Luo Ping asked:
"what's up?"

Luo Xin said the matter again, and Luo Ping raised his eyebrows. For farmers in this era, there is nothing more attractive than land acquisition.Luo Ping patted the table and said:

"Buy! Buy them all."

"By the way, mother." Luo Xin looked at Luo Shi and said, "How much is the land price now?"

Luo Shi said: "Last year, one mu of land cost 15 taels of silver, but now it can be bought for five taels of silver."

Luo Xin was overjoyed: "Father, tomorrow we will go to the city to get money from the Lu residence."

"it is good!"

Luo Ping's face was also full of joy. Although the family is now rich because of the Lu family's money, Luo Ping always feels uneasy in his heart. If there are hundreds of acres of land in his hands...

Do not!
Even if there is only one hundred acres of land, it is enough to live comfortably.

"By the way, dad." Luo Xin thought about his grandfather again, and explained the meaning of his grandfather's visit today, and his own plan, and then said:
"Tomorrow morning, we will put a bag of grain in the dark compartment of the oxcart and go to the Lu Mansion together, get the money and come back, and then we will say that we borrowed grain from the Lu Mansion."

"it is good!"

"By the way!" Luo Xin turned to his elder brother again and said, "Brother, is there no shortage of food at Sister Yun's house?"

"Yeah!" Luo Qing nodded and said, "There is a foster father to help them."

Luo Xin nodded, and with Zhang Shu's help, Zhang Yunniang's family would naturally not be hungry.Still said:
"We'll also buy some meat when we go to the city this time, and we'll ask elder brother to deliver some to Yun's family."

Luo Qing's face turned red, but the brows were full of joy, and the Luo Ping couple also laughed.

Early the next morning.

In the yard, Luo Ping put a bag of grain into the hidden compartment of the ox cart, and then Luo Ping and Luo Xin drove the ox cart to the county town, while Luo Qing stayed at home to tend the three-acre field.

"Qing'er!" The grandfather in the field next to him looked at Luo Qing and said, "Have your father and Xin'er gone to the county seat?"

"Ok!"

Luo Qing nodded, and looked at the grandfather, uncle and cousin in the field next to him.Seeing Luo Qing nodding, the three of them straightened up and looked in the direction of the county seat, with anticipation in their eyes.

A trace of pride appeared on Luo Qing's face. Although his family's status was getting higher and higher, Luo Qing's waist was getting straighter and straighter. When did grandpa talk to him so kindly before?

This is all brought by the younger brother, but I am the eldest brother, and I also want to win honor for the family, and I will not put all the burden of the family on the shoulders of the younger brother.

Luo Qing clenched the hoe in his hand, and started to work harder. Every time he swung the hoe, a voice was screaming in his heart.

"Bang... I want to study hard!"

"Bang... I want to study the book of war and strategy!"

"Bang... I want to be a general!"

"Bang... I want to be a Marquis!"

"Bang... I want to honor my ancestors!"

"........."

At the side, Luo Heng looked at Luo Qing, who was struggling to wield his hoe, and then at Luo Sheng, who was standing aside, and an unspeakable feeling came to his heart.Luo Heng, who has lived a long time, can naturally see that the second child's family is no longer the same as before.

Needless to say, Luo Xin, just looking at Luo Xin's momentum, the worst in the future will be a scholar, just like his youngest son.Of course, if my youngest son can win the...

Luo Heng sighed, if Luo Zhi wins the exam, he can also help the family maintain a good reputation, otherwise he will really be overwhelmed by the second child's family in the future.

Besides, Luo Qing was able to defeat Luo Sheng now.Luo Sheng had taught him by himself since he was a child, and he was much more attentive than teaching Luo Qing.However, after only two years of separation, Luo Sheng was no match for Luo Qing.

In terms of literature, Luo Xin has not yet caught up with Luo Zhi, but in terms of martial arts, this Luo Qing has already surpassed Luo Sheng!And this food shortage is also directed at the second family, shouldn't I treat the second family better?

"Qing'er!"

"Grandpa!" Luo Qing stopped and looked at Grandpa Luo Heng.

"From now on, you will come to grandpa's house every night, and grandpa will teach you martial arts."
