84 Buying Land
“My Lord, is there any land for sale near the Jian Family Village?” Jian Qingqing’s smiling voice rang out.
The registrar glanced at her and lowered his head to flip through a big book. After a long while, he said, “There are 100 acres of good land and 200 acres of dry land. How much do you want?”
Jian Qingqing was slightly surprised. How could there be so much land for sale after the summer harvest? Usually, these large plots of land were held in the hands of the big landlord.
The registrar seemed to see through her thoughts and said, “This was left behind by the Huang family after they were exiled.”
Jian Qingqing understood. No wonder, but it was exactly what she wanted. She smiled and said, “I want 20 acres of dry land and 10 mu of paddy fields.”
The registrar nodded and took over her household registration for her to handle.
Jian Qingqing did not expect things to go so smoothly. In less than 25 minutes, it was done.
She smiled and went out, but she did not expect Xiao Lang to disappear. Her expression changed.
The officer waiting at the side hurriedly said, “Xiao Lang left with our county magistrate. He specially asked me to inform you.”
It turned out that Xiao Lang had just sat on the ground and saw Ming Zhiyan from afar. His eyes lit up. He remembered that this was the brother who had a big horse, so he chased after him.
Ming Zhiyan was about to go to the training field to watch the officers and soldiers practice martial arts. When he saw Xiao Lang appear here, he was surprised. Xiao Lang explained that he had followed his sister to buy land. Ming Zhiyan had an officer wait there to inform Jian Qingqing, then, he brought Xiao Lang to the training field.
When Jian Qingqing followed the officer and arrived, she saw that Xiao Lang was in the half-squat stance. She was surprised by this.
Ming Zhiyan was patrolling the officers and soldiers practicing martial arts, he nodded at her when he saw her.
Jian Qingqing leaned against the big tree and watched the military training of this dynasty. It was not like modern times where there were all kinds of obstacles to train with. The military training here was people fighting with people, or like the Shaolin Kung Fu that she had seen before, where they held long sticks and practiced martial arts.
15 had passed, and Xiao Lang was still sitting in the horse stance obediently. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his calves were still trembling.
Jian Qingqing could not believe it at all. What did Ming Zhiyan do to make him so obedient? He was practically a child with ADHD at home. He followed the adults to the ground, and in a short while, he was covered in mud.
When no one was paying attention, he would take out a toad or a frog from some unknown hole. Once, he even caught a snake with his bare hands and showed it to Mother Jian as if it was a treasure. Mother Jian was scared out of her wits.
When he returned home, he was eager to fight with his brothers. His strength was so great that even the Xiao Hu could not beat him.
When he had completed the half-squat stance for 15 minutes, Ming Zhiyan let him get up.
Xiao Lang walked over to Jian Qingqing with trembling legs and leaned on her body.
Jian Qingqing took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and asked gently, “How are you? Are you tired?”
Xiao Lang shook his head and said loudly, “I’m not tired!”
Jian Qingqing was speechless.
This kid’s energy was bottomless.
She pushed him away from her body and said, “Then you can continue to perform the half-squat stance.”
Xiao Lang cried out and hugged her tightly.
Jian Qingqing looked at Ming Zhiyan curiously and asked, “Sir, how did you get him to do the stance so obediently?”
Ming Zhiyan shook his head and said, “No, it’s not because I asked him to do it, but because he loves to practice martial arts. He’s a good seedling to practice martial arts.”
Jian Qingqing looked at Xiao Lang in surprise and asked, “You like to practice martial arts?”
Xiao Lang nodded and said loudly, “Yes!”
