Song Zhang handed the horse to his entourage, stepped forward, squatted down in front of Qin Yao, pointed to the soil on the ground for demonstration, and asked the question again.
“Except for the conditions you mentioned before, can't we plant on other land?”
Qin Yao didn't expect him to come so low-key, with only one entourage, and didn't even say hello before coming, so sneakily.
However, it was also obvious that Song Zhang did not intend to let the villagers know his identity. He nodded at him as a greeting and replied:
“It can also be grown in other places, but the quality of the melons will be greatly affected.”
Song Zhang seemed to have listened in vain and said to himself: "Lianggua comes from the Western Regions and is rarely seen in the Central Plains. I didn't expect that Madam Qin even knows how to grow this Lianggua."
Qin Yao twitched the corner of her mouth. Seeing Mrs. Zhang's confused look, she stood up and explained: "Mom, a guest is here. I will take the guest home to sit down first."
Qin Yao did not give up and said with a smile: "Sir, please support rural development. How about choosing an abandoned house to show off to the wealthy gentry in the county?"
Counting the days, Gong Liangxiao will arrive in three days.
Qi Xianguan couldn't stand how his junior brother couldn't even draw. He took Liu Ji hand in hand and took Liu Ji hand in hand to paint the picture based on the old house in Lianyuan. It took three days to paint it with great difficulty.
Song Zhang nodded politely, stood up and gave Zhang a junior salute, called his entourage, and happily followed Qin Yao's pace.
But no matter which way, no one has told him that she talks so secretly!
Qin Yao smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, the scholar is not in the Lotus Courtyard now, but I can see him in three more days."
However, since everyone is here, the great Confucian cannot be seen, so you can just take a look at the house where he lives.
Song Zhang didn't have much contact with Qin Yao. All in all, they only had two meetings when they suppressed the bandits and the last time outside the Ding family ancestral hall. Most of the time, he heard about Qin Yao from others.
After seeing that his entourage was at peace, Song Zhang smiled lightly and said calmly: "It's not bad."
Song Zhang stared at Qin Yao suspiciously for two seconds, unable to figure out why she was so actively recommending the old house in Liujiacun to him.
Qin Yao finally smiled at him, raised her hand to make a gesture of invitation, and led the way. As she walked, she introduced how beautiful the four seasons of Liujiacun were and how healing it was to live here.
The entourage nodded wildly, but when Song Zhang glared at him, he quickly lowered his head and led the horse to follow him honestly.
He immediately looked at his county magistrate expectantly and said, "Master, didn't you always say that you would find an opportunity to pay a visit to Mr. Gongliang? Isn't today the right day?"
If the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Kaiyang County know that the county magistrate has also renovated an old house in Liujia Village, why don't they come here after hearing the news?
Speaking of this sketch, it didn't come easy.
“How is it? Are you a little bit excited?”
“Last time I went to Jinshi Town, I only went to a few other villages, but I missed the beautiful village Liujia Village.” Song Zhang said with some surprise.
Originally, Song Zhang only speculated from the various information he had obtained that the changes in Liujiacun were related to Qin Yao.
"Mrs. Qin is so kind, let's go and have a look." Song Zhang responded with a smile.
As he spoke, he glanced at Song Zhang again and added: "If you are interested, you can also choose an old house with great scenery in the village and renovate it yourself."
Qin Yao asked confidently after locking the gate of Lianyuan and leading Song Zhang to his home.
Qin Yao patted her pants and planned to call Awang and Liu Ji to come over and clean the house tomorrow.
He looked at Qin Yao who walked forward to find the key to open the door, and secretly exhaled a big breath.
Without waiting for Song Zhang to speak, he continued to speak ahead of him: "After the renovation, you can live here as long as you want. After all, you are the county magistrate. If I knew that you wanted to stay here often, the village would definitely hand over the land deed to the old house. No. It costs you a penny!”
He waved his hands in a hurry and said, "Go, go, I'm here."
Even though they are poor villages, Liujiacun looks better and better every year. Anyone would be curious and want to come here to find out.
This is thanks to the light rain these past few days, otherwise I would have sucked in a lot of dust when I came in.
The three of them finally arrived at the Lotus Courtyard, and only then did Song Zhang's various sales pitches with hints and expressions stop.
I didn't expect that when I take it out again, I can compare it with the current Lotus Courtyard before and after the renovation.
Turning around, he saw Song Zhang politely standing at the door, looking curiously. He waved and shouted, "Come in and see if everything is okay. The rooms are all locked. I don't have the key, so just take a look in the yard."
Although Mrs. Zhang didn't know who Song Zhang was, she had some vague guesses. After all, Liu Zhongcai had said before that the county magistrate would visit Qin Yao's house.
Qin Yao's eyes lit up slightly when she mentioned the house. She stopped by the bridge and raised her hand to point towards the depths of the village, "Here, over there, do you see the vacant terrace? It's over there."
Qin Yao didn't say anything, so he asked out of curiosity: “I heard that the great Confucian scholar also built a courtyard in your village to stay there for a long time. I wonder which one it is?”
The attendant suppressed his excitement and asked politely: "Ms. Qin, is this really an abandoned house?"
Now when he heard Qin Yao's words, he was already sure that she was the source.
Qin Yao nodded, "Yes, we still have a sketch of how it looked before. If you don't believe it, come to my house later and I can show it to you."
"Sir, would you like to go over and have a look?" Qin Yao said with a hint of enthusiasm in her tone, "It was designed by Mr. himself and renovated from an abandoned old house in the village. It is a very special lotus courtyard."
Some people say she is a fierce and shrewd woman, some say she is a cold hunter whose arrows are perfect, and still others say she is the domineering leader of Liujia Village.
Song Zhang is worthy of being a county magistrate, and he immediately smelled something unusual in this sentence.
At that time, the homestead in Liujiacun will be worth a lot of money!
A woman in her early twenties who had been exiled from other places was not only extremely powerful, but she could suppress bandits and kill tigers. She could also come up with ingenious things such as water mills and magical book boxes to build factories. She also knew how to grow cold melons from the Western Regions and build a seedling nursery.
Qin Yao opened the door and fanned it a few times before shaking off the dust floating in the air.
After speaking, he smiled politely at Song Zhang.
Song Zhang's entourage sighed regretfully. He thought he would see the great scholar today.
"But since no one is here, it would be good to go and see the yard." Qin Yao continued to encourage.
Qi Xianguan and Gong Liangxiao have quite good aesthetics. The courtyard no longer looks simple on the outside, but it is full of details on the inside. All kinds of ingenious arrangements and the whimsical ideas of the owners make people's hearts beat.
The owner is away, and the house has been left unattended and has become covered with dust.
She suddenly discovered that Song Zhang was also a good customer.
The entourage was moved when he heard this, not because of the old house in Liujiacun, but because he could live next to the great scholar.
She is so omniscient and omnipotent that no one would believe her if she was not a god.
But unfortunately, she is alone.
At this moment, there is flesh and blood, standing in front of him alive. (End of chapter)
