Geng Qiu and Ah Hao didn't look at the things in the basket, but hurriedly went to the shop to buy three new quilts, this time they chose the medium ones, the more expensive ones, and the three quilts cost nearly three taels of silver. Because they were regular customers, the shopkeeper sent them half a pound of mid-range lint, and also sent them a few pieces of coarse cloth to wrap the quilt. The two of them had silver in their hands, and went to buy ten catties of white flour and ten catties of polished rice, three catties of fatty meat, two catties of brown sugar, two packets of dim sum, some soy sauce and vinegar and other seasonings. It cost more than five taels of silver at once.

"Hey, I bought a little bit of stuff in total, and I used up a silver ingot." Geng Qiu's hands were loose today, and the seams of his fingers were a little looser, and he spent more than five taels of silver at once, and then he knew that forty taels of silver would not be spent. Moreover, they were able to get forty taels of silver this time, because they were in a hurry.

If it weren't for the horse shocking incident, these wild things would not have been sold out so easily, let alone sold for as much as forty taels of silver. The family had already estimated that these things were worth a maximum of ten taels of silver. Originally, Geng Qiu was only going to buy two quilts for Ning Ge'er, but because Ning Ge'er didn't have extra bedding at home, he still slept with the third uncle and three aunts, which was really not good, so he had a little money to spare, and Geng Qiu immediately bought a new cover for Ning Ge'er.

"Yes, but with the silver, we have to spend it, and we should eat something good." Ah Hao was very satisfied that Geng Qiu could buy white flour polished rice. I didn't just buy coarse brown rice like I used to. Although the coarse brown rice they eat is actually not a low-grade product. But it's definitely not as good as white flour and polished rice. These two people are both people who refuse to wronged themselves in their bones, but they can advance and retreat. Good days can be lived, and hard days can be lived.

When I got home, I still walked for a while, and when I entered the village, most of the people had already slept behind closed doors. So no one in the village knew that they had gone out to sell their game.

"Came back so late. Do things still sell well? The third uncle asked.

"I got forty taels of silver." Geng Qiu replied. Ah Hao was in a hurry to eat, he was so hungry that he panicked, where did he have time to say this.

"What? Forty taels, so valuable? The third uncle and the third aunt exclaimed in unison. It was so much surprise to them that they could get so much silver.

Geng Qiu smiled, and Ah Hao said, "Eat first, and the third aunt will clean up the things in the basket first." ”

"Oops, buy so many things." The third uncle and three aunts exclaimed from time to time while cleaning up things. There are three quilts alone, not to mention white flour polished rice. The two elders finished counting their things excitedly, and Geng Qiu and Ah Hao also finished eating, and then slowly told them what happened today. Of course, the danger is an understatement.

The third aunt said with a smile: "These sets of clothes, although they are said to be old, in fact, most of them are new, or muslin, this cotton jacket is better, but they are all high-grade cotton wool, they are all clean, I am afraid I haven't worn it a few times." Now Brother Ning and Ah Niu's winter clothes are enough. "Although I have made my winter clothes for both children, the children are no better than adults, and they always need one or two more sets to change and wash.

"And there are two new pieces of cloth, which are enough to make a new dress for Aqiu and Ahao. Not to mention, the things that the butler sent this week are really suitable. The third uncle also said.

"You see, this silver collar is only worth at least ten taels of silver." Ah Hao untied a small baggage, and there were a few children's ornaments in it. The most valuable thing is this silver collar. There are also two pairs of silver bracelets and anklebs for children, and even a few toys for children to play with. Obviously, Steward Zhou sent these things to them carefully. Knowing that he has two children in his family, Ning Ge'er and Xiao Bao'er are about the same size, his clothes can just be worn by Ning Ge'er, and the clothes he wore when he was a child can also be worn by Ah Niu. The silver collar was for Brother Ning, but the silver bracelet and anklebs were just right for Ah Niu.

"There are so many sweets and snacks, I'm afraid there are about twenty pounds. There's also a jar of wine and a bag of tea. The third uncle said again. Steward Zhou's gift is really comprehensive, knowing that there are children at home, he will definitely not only give clothes, how can there be less candy and snacks. However, there are still some surprises that everyone has not expected to send so much.

This week, the housekeeper was really careful, and even the ten taels of silver he gave to Geng Qiu were all one tael and a half taels of broken silver, not like the middle-aged man gave five taels of silver ingots. Ordinary people, very rarely will have a whole five taels of silver ingots, and it is not convenient to spend it, many people don't even have silver, and the basic circulation is a lot of money. If they hadn't bought quilts, Geng Qiu and Ah Hao would have to exchange the five taels of ingots.

With so many things, the family was very happy, and even Brother Ning'er's eyes were bright with excitement, and he ate a few pieces of all kinds of dim sum. Stroking his stomach and laughing happily. I haven't eaten such a delicious dim sum for more than two years, and the child can't help it. The dim sum in the Zhou Mansion is not as good as what Geng Qiu and his family bought, and the ones they give are all high-end goods. Not only Brother Ning, but even Ah Niu also held a rattle in his left hand and a rattle in his right hand, giggling while shaking. This kid has never had any real toys of his own. Usually the things he plays with are just picked up by adults, such as vegetables and fruits, and even a small piece of wood and a leaf.

Seeing the children so happy, the adults felt a little uncomfortable. The third uncle looked at the pile of things sent by Steward Zhou and quietly wiped a handful of tears. Thinking of the illustrious family background of the main family in the past, now they can only live in this poor place, and even coarse food has to be calculated to be full, and they can't even afford the simplest gadgets, and they are so happy to get some old things given by others. His heart is like a knife, and he really wants to kill the bad guys who have caused everyone to end up so far.

He wouldn't believe that the general would be treason and collaborate with the enemy, you must know that the general has always governed the army strictly, in fact, not to mention that those of them who are implicated in it understand the trickiness, and some discerning people are also discussing in private, that Cheng Zhong, who took refuge in the new prince. Cheng Zhong was originally the adopted son of the general, and he was one of the children raised by the general who went to the battlefield with Ah Hao, and he was seven years older than Ah Hao. After Ah Hao left the battlefield, Cheng Zhong and the others continued to be in the army. The general raised a lot of children, but there are not many who really think that they have adopted children, only three, and Cheng Zhong is one of them.

This man is brave and strategic, and he is the general's right-hand man. But in that war, due to the defeat of Cheng Zhong's other two adoptive brothers on the battlefield, the 100,000-strong army was broken on the battlefield, one of the adopted sons Cheng Xin died on the battlefield, the other adopted son Cheng Ping disappeared, and the general was also seriously injured. The general dragged his wounded body back to Beijing to plead guilty, but he died halfway, and after his death, he was actually accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy. The emperor was furious and copied the general's mansion, and this general, who went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, fought for the country every year, and made great military achievements, became the traitor referred to by Qianfu.

Later, Cheng Zhong and Zhu Quan, the second son of the first-class national government, turned the tide, led the army to block the attack, and won a complete victory. The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded Cheng Zhong and Zhu Quan, Cheng Zhong was promoted from a seven-rank petty official to a third-grade to a fourth-grade rank, and Zhu Quan was promoted to a third-rank rank, and a number of generals under him were also promoted to make a fortune. For a while, the two of them were incomparably beautiful. And Zhu Quan's cousin, the fifth son of the emperor also won the battle for the crown prince, and was made the new prince by the emperor. After Cheng Zhong was promoted, Zhu Quan worked as a matchmaker for him, married a cousin of Zhu Quan's mother's family, and since then he has become a confidant of the □□ faction.

"Ah Hao, it's all that ungrateful Cheng Zhong, who wasted the general's name to him Zhong." The third uncle couldn't help but curse Cheng Zhong.

The third aunt also helped on the side, and when the incident happened, Ning Ge'er's father released his words early and cleared up the relationship with the general's mansion. His mother could only privately order his third uncle and two to inquire about information in order to rescue his mother's family.

The third uncle and three aunts are people from the General's Mansion, and everyone is hiding far away when they see them, and all the information is obtained at a great price. Because Brother Ning's mother spent all her dowry on helping her mother's family, she was even more dissatisfied with her husband's family, and she was afraid that her family would be implicated. So they assassinated the only aunt and grandmother in the General's Mansion, and even wanted to do something to Brother Ning. In a hurry, the third uncle and the third aunt escaped with Brother Ning.
