Gui Yuxia looked at her parents in a daze and said, "It's really so much money." Moreover, the housekeeper also said that as long as I work hard, I can make more money in the future. I thought, these five hundred taels of silver, I can only buy twenty or thirty acres of land around the capital, although I am not afraid of hunger in this way, but I am still not rich. The county lord said that if the whole family went to Nanyang. These five hundred taels of silver can buy a thousand acres of land. Because one tael of silver and two acres of land in Nanyang. But it's all uncultivated wasteland. The lord of the county said that he could buy 500 acres of land, and save half of the money to hire slaves to work, as well as to build a house to live in, buy grain to eat, buy seeds, buy farm tools, and buy livestock to farm. ”

Gui Da's eyes warmed up and said, "A thousand acres? Five hundred acres? ”

Old man Gui's eyes also widened: "A thousand acres? We don't have a thousand acres of land in our village. The landlords in the village don't have a thousand acres of land. Not to mention 1,000 acres, it's 500 acres, how much grain can be cut down this year? How do you finish eating this? ”

Gui Yuxia said: "Because it is all wasteland, the first two years will be harder. I thought, we have a lot of family, it's better to go with the whole family, so that we can hire fewer people and do more by ourselves, so that we can save more money? Buy more land, even if we can't buy 1,000 acres of land, we can buy 7 or 800 acres of land. Moreover, from here to Nanyang, we don't have to spend money all the way, the county lord said, she covered all the expenses of our family's relatives. That's a lot of savings, what a great opportunity. Moreover, after Nanyang is good, I will definitely work more for the county lord, and when the time comes, the county lord will definitely take extra care of our family for the sake of my face, and our family will definitely be able to establish a foothold in Nanyang soon, and it will be okay to come back after a few years. If you don't want to come back, it's okay to be a rich man there. ”

A glint flashed in Guida's eyes, what a good prospect. In fact, his family is hardworking and capable people. When it comes to work, planting crops. No one has the ability of their own father and son, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, her family is too poor, she doesn't even have an acre of land, and she can only live by farming for the landlord. If he had land, Gui Da was confident that he would be able to achieve results.

Gui Pozi said: "You are going to Nanyang, what about the big cow?" ”

Gui Yuxia said: "Dad, mother, if I marry Da Niu, please take care of Da Niu and take Da Niu to Nanyang." The rule in our house is that every month we servants can go home to visit our parents and relatives, and when the time comes, I will come back for a few days every month. I ask you to take care of it. I have a monthly payment, now a tael of silver a month, and there may be more in the future. If I can recruit a few more apprentices and bring out a few more embroidery girls with good craftsmanship, I can become a steward, and I can have five taels of silver a month. It's enough to feed Big Bull. I can get the money back every month as food for Big Bull. ”

Old man Gui immediately said: "Big girl, even if you don't give money to the family, the family should also feed the big cow, how much have people helped us over the years." Especially when your younger brothers were young, the work at home. It's all done by people. Now, it's because of our family that people are hurt. Can we ignore the wolf's heart? Besides, this settling-in fee is also from you, if you can really buy a large piece of land in the future, which is also your property, can we still charge you a monthly fee? ”

Gui Da hurriedly said: "Yes, eldest sister, for so many years, our family has relied on you to give us a little money every year to live well, you have suffered for so many years, if you have more money per month, just spend it yourself, don't give it to us." ”

Gui Yuxia smiled: "Where do I spend it?" I'm in the house now, I have clothes to wear all year round, and the master can often reward jewelry and faces, not to mention eating, the food in the county lord's mansion is known to be well-known in the palace, and the imperial chefs go to her house to study. There is also this rouge, the head oil, which is distributed in the house, and it is all high-quality goods, which cannot be bought with money outside. If I don't want to use it, take it back and let you sell it, and you can sell it for a few taels of silver. You say, 'Where am I going to spend my money?' ”

When Mrs. Gui heard this, she couldn't help but look at her daughter's dress, the satin clothes, which looked good-looking, and the hairpins and bracelets, how to make them so exquisite? Even the landlord's lady can't compare with those jewelry. Moreover, the bursts of aroma around her daughter, her face is oily and powdery, and her head is also light.

Mrs. Gui said: "Big girl, you are so good in the county lord's mansion, can you bring your sister in too?" The three girls can also point needlework, and if they learn from you, they will definitely be able to learn well. The three girls are smart. ”

Gui Yuxia said: "I just said that. Generally, the house recruits maids, and they don't want to be old, and there are those who have been married. However, now the house is recruiting embroidery girls, and they are going to work in the Nanyang Workshop. Therefore, it is necessary to be older, have been married, have a family, and have children. I thought, if I can let the second and third girls go and follow me as apprentices, although a month is not as much as my salary, but it is okay, and in a few years, if I can learn well, I can have more, maybe I can support the family. ”

Mrs. Gui was happy when she heard it. Old man Gui frowned and said, "However, Erniu'er still has her in-laws and father-in-law at home, how can she follow us?" And a few more children. The three girls have also settled down, and they are going to get married during the Chinese New Year, how to take them away? ”

Gui Yuxia said: "The county lord didn't limit the number of people for us, and told me that the more people, the better." In the future, there will be job opportunities in Nanyang. It just so happened that I talked to the second girl's family, and the third girl's family, and they all went to Nanyang. There are also two younger siblings in the family, and they all talk about going together. In the future, they will all buy land and property in Nanyang, and be a rich man, isn't it better than being a poor person here who only wants to eat and wear? ”

Gui Dayi hurriedly said, "Yes, I quickly asked my daughter-in-law to go and talk to the family, and bring it with me." After a while, my brother took Brother Niu and asked my brother to go to his mother-in-law's house to talk, and we will go together. By the way, I also have to go to Sanniu's mother-in-law's house, pick up my future brother-in-law, and discuss it together, it's best to go. By the way, isn't the eldest sister going to recruit a few apprentices? This is easy, there are many people in our village, especially the eldest girl, the little daughter-in-law, a lot, I will talk to the village chief in a while, to see who is willing to follow the eldest sister to Nanyang to learn art. Hurry up and talk to the eldest sister. The eldest sister is good to choose. Wouldn't it be better for the eldest sister to become a steward a day earlier? At the same time, I also took a look at the villagers in the village. ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and nodded, remembered one more thing and said, "Eldest brother, you still have to go to the aunt's house in the village, how is her family now?" For so many years, my aunt has taken care of me in the palace, if it weren't for her care, I would have died in the palace, where can I go out of the palace to the county lord's house, and I can still meet you. Go and see if your aunt's house can come with me. If you don't want to go, let's see if there is a girl and a daughter-in-law who is willing to follow me to learn the craft. I can take away what I want to go, and I will teach it myself. If you don't want to go, you can also give it to my sisters who came out of the palace together. Four of them remained, and they needed apprentices to go to the Cuijin Building of the county lord's house. As long as they are the people I recommend, they will teach them well, and they will learn the craft well in the future, and they will also be very good in Cuijin Building, and they can also support the family. ”

Gui Da said: "My aunt's family is fine, because my aunt comes back a little bit every year with a lot of money, and their family has now bought more than ten acres of land, and they don't have to worry about food, but they are just living an ordinary life." It is estimated that they have families and businesses, and it is unlikely that they will follow us. However, if someone can follow my sister to learn the craft, it would be even better if he could enter Cuijin Building. Cuijin Building is not ordinary people can enter, we all know that the people around the capital know that you must embroider well to enter. When I went in, the monthly money was also high, and the rewards were many, so it was still possible to feed the family. If their family knew that they could enter Cuijin Building, they would be very happy, and their sister would be able to repay their aunt for taking care of them for so many years. I'll go to their house now, and when I'm done, I'll go to the village chief and the third brother-in-law. After speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen, first told his daughter-in-law and the third sister about the situation, and then told the third sister to let her cook alone and cook more, and let the daughter-in-law hurry up to her mother's house to talk about it, and it was best to let the father-in-law and the mother-in-law and uncle come to discuss it together. After arranging, I quickly went to my aunt's house again.

Gui's daughter-in-law was shocked when she heard this, but she had always listened to her husband's arrangement and hurried to her parents' house. Sanniuer, as soon as she heard it, the eldest brother was going to go to her mother-in-law's house for a while, and asked her mother-in-law to go to Nanyang with her, which made her feel mixed. Quickly throw the thought out and be busy cooking, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people coming at this time, and more to do.

As soon as Gui Da came out of the kitchen, he saw that Gui Er had already carried the big cow into the house. Gui Da didn't stay either, and hurried to his aunt's house.

Here Gui Er carried the big cow into the house, and the old man Gui and Mrs. Gui hurriedly settled the big cow on the kang and lay down. As soon as Da Niu entered the house, he saw Gui Yuxia, and his eyes couldn't leave. The person in my heart is now in front of me, this is really unexpected, I thought I would never see her in this life, I didn't expect to see this longing face.

Gui Yuxia recognized the big cow at a glance, the years and wind and frost plus the injury made the big cow look a little vicissitudes, a little older, and a little darker, but the outline of the eyebrows and eyes was still the same look, and it was still the appearance engraved in Gui Yuxia's heart. Gui Yuxia's tears immediately flowed out again.

Da Niu saw Gui Yuxia in tears, and he was immediately distressed, but he had always been stupid, and said half-loudly: "Big girl, don't cry, it's a joy to see you." It's just that you're getting better and better now, and I'm disabled, so don't worry about me. If you can look at me, I'll be satisfied. ”

Gui Yuxia said with a whole face: "Brother Niu, what did you say?" I have already told the county lord that I will marry Brother Da Niu and take care of Brother Da Niu for the rest of my life. Brother Niu still wants to arrange his family, and then follow our family to Nanyang. ”

Da Niu was stunned for a moment, how could he still marry a big girl in this life. No, I'm a waste person now, I can't drag down the big girl, the big cow said: "No, I don't want to, I'm already a waste person, you don't have to sympathize with me." I can take care of myself, I don't have to take care of you, really. (To be continued)
