After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

The young man glanced at Ye Qing, turned around and continued to wipe his tears.

Ye Qing didn't give up and asked again, "You really don't need help?"

The clerk replied angrily, "What's the point of telling you? You can buy all the wet cloth in the warehouse."

After hearing this, Ye Qing became more interested, "My mother asked me to come out to buy cloth."

The clerk's eyes turned redder. "How much can you buy? More than 20 pieces of cloth, all soaked with water. It rained a while ago and a corner of the warehouse leaked. We only found it this morning. The shopkeeper asked me to sell it all in one day. How is that possible?"

Ye Qing's eyes turned when he heard this. "Brother, take me to see, everyone in our village wants to buy some cloth."

The young man looked at Ye Qing with half belief and half doubt. He saw that the little girl was cute and wore a light green long skirt with a few simple flowers embroidered on the cuffs and auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. She was obviously a little girl who was doted on at home.

The new cloth would be delivered in the afternoon, and there was nothing he could do but give it a try and take them to see it.

Ye Xuan had followed Ye Qing for so long, he knew what he meant as soon as he heard this.

Tietou didn't say much. The two people went in and he hurriedly followed behind.

"Those are the ones. The water has dried up and they are a little wrinkled."

Ye Qing walked over and touched the cloths carefully. They were all dark-colored cloths and the quality felt good, but there were some mold spots on some of them.

Ye Qing calculated in his mind that about three quarters of a piece of cloth could be used, if it was to be taken apart.

No one in the city wants this kind of cloth, but the villagers don't mind it. Take it back and tear apart the damaged cloth, and you can sell the good cloth for money.

"Brother, how much is this cloth? I want to buy some to make two sets of clothes for my father to wear when he works."

The young man was a little disappointed. It was useless to buy so little. He said gloomily, "If you can buy one, I'll give you three taels of silver. These are originally sold for five taels of silver."

Ye Qing was a little surprised. The fabrics felt very comfortable and the price was reasonable.

She winked at Ye Xuan and continued bargaining with the waiter. "I want more, can you give me a discount?"

The young man looked at Ye Qing but didn't take it seriously. She was young and didn't seem to be the one who could make the decisions in the family.

"One or two horses can't be reduced in price."

"I want both. How much?"

The clerk said seriously, "Little girl, don't joke around. You'll get scolded when you get home if you buy so much."

Seeing that the clerk was anxious to sell the cloth and was still considerate of her, Ye Qing wanted to help him so that she could make money.

Ye Qing looked at the waiter with a smile, "I have some money, I will buy it back and share it with the villagers, you tell me the price."

The young man finally believed it and looked at Ye Xuan, the oldest of the three.

Ye Xuan also spoke at the right time, "Don't worry, my sister can make the decision."

"Two and a half taels a piece. This is the price for all of them." The guy's eyes were full of hope. He has many children in his family, and without this job, his family would not have enough to eat.

Ye Xuan didn't ask Ye Qing to speak, and negotiated the price with Tietou.

The young man was still dissatisfied with the shopkeeper, and besides, if the shopkeeper asked him to get rid of it, he would accept a lower price.

In the end, the two sides offered two taels of silver per horse, on the condition that it be taken away immediately.

Ye Qing and Ye Xuan were moving cloth out of the warehouse. The clerk was worried that when someone came to deliver new cloth, there would be no room in the warehouse. The shopkeeper scolded him again, but he also joined in the moving.

Tietou went back to drive the ox cart and got the money.

Ye Laosan came with Tietou. When he heard that Ye Qing bought more than 20 pieces of cloth, he drove another car over without saying a word.

With the help of Tietou and Ye Laosan, more than 20 pieces of cloth were loaded onto the car in just a quarter of an hour.

Ye Qing took a broom and helped the clerk clean the warehouse. Just as they finished cleaning, the car delivering new cloth arrived.

Tietou is also a very honest boy. Just now, when the shop assistants were helping them move the cloth, he also helped them move all the new cloth to the warehouse and put it away carefully.

The clerk was very satisfied with Ye Qing and his group, and called out to the people who were walking out the door, "Do you want some rags? We have two bags of rags in our store."

Ye Qing turned around quickly, with a tone of surprise in his voice, "Yes, I want it. My mother asked me to bring some back when I left."

The waiter pulled out two large bags of rags from under the counter and said, "For so many, I'll charge you three hundred coins."

Ye Qing opened it and took a look. They were just some scraps, big and small, so he simply paid for them.

Ye Qing and his group went back happily. The young man was also very happy. He thought he had met a noble person today and his life was saved.

It was already late when they got home. Tietou helped to light the fire while Ye Qing hurried to cook. They wanted to eat early and go to bed early today.

Boss Ye and his two younger brothers discussed who would stay up late and watched the time.

"I'm the youngest, big brother. I'll watch the time. You guys go to sleep first."

"Third brother, are you saying that I'm old?" Boss Ye's tone became two degrees colder.

Ye Laosan quickly denied it. He was afraid of angering his eldest brother.

Ye Xuan and Tietou interrupted the argument of the three people and asked them to go and rest. They would stay on guard and they could rest at home during the day tomorrow.

In the end, the three men were no match for the two young men. Besides, the two were not outsiders: one was a nephew from the family, and the other was the son of an elder brother-in-law.

Ye Qing prepared a brazier for the two of them, as well as various snacks and storybooks that he had bought during the day.

I lit two more lamps for them before going back to sleep. I had to get up early the next morning to make breakfast.

Both of them are young, so staying up late occasionally is not a big deal at all.

At first, the two of them took turns taking a nap, but after midnight, they didn't dare to sleep anymore.

Before they came, their family told them several times to take good care of these scholars.

When the time was almost up, Ye Xuan went to wake up Ye Lao Da and the other two first. The three of them had not slept well the previous night and woke up at the slightest noise.

"Iron Head, what time is it?"

"Uncle, it's just past the hour of Chou, it's almost time to get up."

Boss Ye and the other two got up, dressed, and went to call the children first.

Ye Qing woke up as soon as there was a noise in the yard. Then he got up to cook, washed up, and quickly added water to make porridge.

Several scholars went to bed early last night and got up so early today, feeling very energetic.

After finishing their meal, they sorted out their exam stuff, made sure they hadn't forgotten anything, and then got up and went to the exam room.

Ye Qing also went with them to take the exam. Ye Xuan and Tietou were no longer sleepy and followed them to take the exam. They had never seen the scene of an imperial examination before.

The courtyard was not far from the examination site, so they walked there. When they arrived at the street leading to the examination hall, they were shocked to see that it was full of people.

The three brothers of Ye Lao Da, as well as Ye Xuan Tietou, surrounded a few scholars.

There are so many people. What if someone does something bad and hurts them? It is not easy to raise a few educated people in the family.

Their idea was not wrong, and they supported several people who almost fell on them along the way.

I finally squeezed to the front and saw more people on the street.

After waiting for a while, the examination hall opened and the students waiting at the door were inspected in an orderly manner.
