Early the next morning, Cheng Ling woke up in Tingquan Villa.

The sky had just dawned, and the morning sun was already looming behind the clouds. Great, it's another sunny day!

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

Practicing martial arts should not be wasted for a day.

Not long after, Cheng Ling had completely replenished all the solar energy she had consumed yesterday. Coupled with the moonlight energy she had replenished last night, her Dantian was full of energy at the moment, making her feel refreshed and she felt extremely energetic and in need of strength.

The control seems to be more mature.

After Cheng Ling finished standing on the Tai Chi post twice and doing Wing Chun again, the housekeeper of the other courtyard suddenly came to report that Wang Qilang was 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 government officials.

The government officials carried wooden boxes wrapped in red silk as they walked in. Although they did not beat gongs or drums, they were quite conspicuous.

Wang Qilang brought these people in. As soon as he saw Cheng Ling, he laughed and said, "Brother Cheng, you have made great achievements, and here comes the reward!"

Beside the door of the moon cave, Mu Sanniang, Cheng Dani, Cheng Erni, and the two children Hong Xiaolang and Yun Niang stood there as if they didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Cheng Erni's eyes shone brightly, and she quickly covered her lips with her hands to prevent herself from screaming.

Bounty!

The bounty that was due finally came, and Cheng Ling accepted it very calmly.

She slowly finished her work, took the cloth brought by the maid next to her and gently wiped her sweat. She turned around and cupped her fists at Wang Qilang with a smile: "Brother Wang is here very early."

Wang Qilang immediately said: "What? Do you think I came early and disturbed you?"

After joking, he couldn't hide his pride and said: "Brother Cheng, the bounty is here, aren't you curious about how much it is? Why don't you take a guess?"

This expression was enough to prove that the bounty should be very generous. Cheng Ling smiled and said simply: "No guessing!"

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

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

Wang Qilang still had his careful side as always. After the boxes were carried to Cheng Ling's room, he took out the money from his sleeve pocket and prepared to reward 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, a box full of copper coins was seen, shining brightly. The impact of the pile of coins immediately caused a gasp.

Cheng Ling also narrowed his eyes slightly, then called Manager Chen for help, and waved to Mu Sanniang and others.

Finally, he said to the magistrate and others in the county magistrate's office: "Brothers, you have worked hard. Since you have come here, it cannot be in vain. It is also good to moisten your mouth and drink some tea."

Manager Chen knew very well. He took a tray and took out twenty strings of copper coins from the box. He handed them directly to the leading pian, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, the pian will give you one point." Twenty strings of copper coins, one string.

It's one hundred articles.

Twenty strings are approximately equal to two taels of silver.

As he spoke, Steward Chen slipped out a silver bean weighing one or two weights from his sleeve. He covered the bean with his gesture and fell into the hands of the pian.

The official laughed and his expression became particularly friendly.

He held up his hands to Cheng Ling and said: "You are so polite, Mr. Lang. If you have trouble with running errands later, just tell the brothers and don't drink Mr. Lang's tea in vain. Brothers, are you right?"

All the government officials 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 dazed at the side. At this time, he really wanted to step forward and ask Cheng Ling: Didn't my uncle comment that you are "extremely proud"? Are you so proud? This person is so sophisticated and is obviously more tactful than me.

After the officials and government servants left, Cheng Ling asked Steward Chen for help and rewarded the servants of Tingquan Courtyard.

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

Wang Qilang stared at the remaining unopened boxes, and finally resisted urging Cheng Ling to continue unpacking, and said smoothly: "No, I can't eat so early, so I came here specifically to have a meal with Brother Cheng."

Woolen cloth."

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

Cheng Ling originally planned to finish breakfast and then have dinner with Mu Sanniang and the others, but now that Wang Qilang is here, he can only eat separately.

Shi Hong and Xiao Man were both wounded and had to stay in bed for rest, so Hong Guangyi came out to keep them company.

We had a harmonious breakfast. The food was quite rich. Corn porridge was the staple food. In addition, there were four kinds of fresh fruits, braised goose feet as a snack, minced meatballs, boiled white rice and two beautiful shapes.

pastry.

Cheng Ling had finally had a good meal. He went to the banquet last night, drank mostly, and had to brace himself to deal with various problems. Cheng Ling didn't pay much attention to the specific dishes served at the banquet, let alone eat them.

.

She is paying attention now because she has begun to pay attention to the dietary standards of this era.

Not only the level of diet, but also the development in all aspects, Cheng Ling was slowly observing and memorizing bit by bit.

If she wants to lead 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.

Regarding this, she discussed this with Mu Sanniang last night. Now that they have come to Chixia City, they must stay for a while.

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

When talking about this at the time, Mu Sanniang was a little confused.

She said in shock: "Brother Ling, you mean that there will still be chaos in Chixia City? Don't we 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 not a bad idea for us to settle down in Chixia City."

If you can live in peace, who would like to run around?

However, in such troubled times, it will never go wrong to be prepared for a rainy day 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 feel uncomfortable living in my brother Guan's house for nothing, why not rent this Tingquan Villa? Isn't it just convenient?"

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

After saying that, 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.
