After Zhao Jiu was sent away, Uncle Wang recruited the subordinates of the Su Mansion in the living room, not counting Xiaoling, there were a total of 8 small servants and Yang Bao and another strange teenager, but he said that Father Su was a careful master before his death, and he was a servant and a servant.

But now that the family business has been sold by Su Yang'er, these people have heard from Uncle Wang before this, the Su family's move to the south is a major event, but unlike Su Yang'er's previous plan to only bring a part, at that time she didn't know the value of Su Fu's wealth, so she dismissed some of the personnel if she thought about it, and it was a big deal to return the deed of sale to them.

In fact, these little servants are the same as Ling'er, they are sold into slavery, so there is no fixed salary, only a monthly fee, ranging from 40 to 60 wen per month, depending on their performance in the store.

But Uncle Wang knows that with the financial resources of the Su family, let alone eight or nine subordinates, it is more than doubled, and he can afford to raise it, but that is something that Su's father can only do when he is still alive, because Su's father had an official body before his death, so he can support slaves, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks.

After Lao Wang gathered them, he only explained the matter of moving back to Yixing, and instructed them to pack up as soon as possible, pack up their belongings, and set off within five days to move out of Sufu.

These eight people didn't have anything to say when they heard it, and they didn't want to be as Su Yang'er imagined, they didn't have the right to choose.

They dispersed, but Yang Bao and the strange boy beside him stayed.

Yang Bao said: "Uncle Wang, I have something to report to you. ”

As soon as he spoke, Uncle Wang said: "It is you and Xiao Er who want to stay and continue to work, and move south with the Su family, right, Xiao Ling has already told me about this matter, since the little lady promised you, there is nothing to say, you stay." ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Bao heard it and said: "It's not about it, it's about Xiao Er's family, Xiao Er, you come here." ”

The young man named Xiao Er next to him heard the sound and stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wang, can Xiao Er take his family to Yixing with him?" ”

The young man who spoke was the second brother of Yang Bao's apprentice whom Su Yang'er had never met, I saw that he was short, only thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed like Yang Bao, and also had a smell of stove fire on his body, and he was a little nervous and trembling when he spoke, and he was obviously an introvert.

Xiao Er's real name is Yue, because he is at home to the second, everyone calls him Yue Er, and because he is not very old, he will be called Xiao Er after a long time, half a year ago he entered the house with his master Yang Bao to work, because of his introverted personality, there is little intersection with Su Mansion.

"You're moving too?" Uncle Wang was shocked when he heard this, and wondered in his heart: "This is also strange, the little lady doesn't know why she has to return to her hometown, if this Yue Er is not mistaken, but she is a native of Tangyin." ”

Although Lao Wang doesn't have much contact with this Yue Er, after all, he is the person in charge of affairs inside and outside the Su family, and when Zhaoyangbao and Xiao Er entered the mansion to work, he had already inquired about the identities and origins of these two people.

Yang Bao has nothing to say, he is a foreigner, his ancestral home is in Lingnan, which is a poor and remote country, fortunately, he has been traveling south and north since he was a child, and his accent is not mixed in the south or north, and he does not speak the dialect that is difficult for ordinary people to understand in Cantonese.

As for this Yue Er, he was a native of Tangyin, and his ancestors have been here for generations, and when he heard that he was going to move south with his family, Lao Wang was naturally surprised, not to mention that he had just died a few years ago, and even his eldest brother who was in the army rushed back to guard filial piety.

"Little Er, why did you leave with your family, are you afraid that your mother will have no one to take care of you, isn't your brother at home right now?"

"It's... Uncle Wang, the second mother is old, originally my eldest brother came back, and I don't need to worry, but the eldest brother will leave again soon after, saying that he is going to join the army again, but my sister-in-law and eldest brother are newly married, and the nephew is young, so they will be separated for two years, and now he is leaving again, and I haven't learned this craft yet... I..."

Xiao Er is not very good at talking, and he is a little flustered after two or three sentences.

Seeing this, Uncle Wang said: "Don't worry, you speak slowly, I understand what you say, do you mean that you want to take your mother and sister-in-law to Yixing together?" But Yixing is far away, do you have a place to settle down in Yixing? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Er first shook his head and then nodded again, and said: "Don't hide it from the old man, now my family is poor, since my father died, although the eldest brother came back with some military salaries, but it has long been exhausted, and the two acres of thin land at home are really difficult to feed the family, and they all rely on Xiao Er's wages to survive." ”

"But I have discussed with my eldest brother, he went to the army to join the army, and he will send it home as soon as possible, and then temporarily pawn the ancestral house to others, I heard that the housing prices in the south are not as expensive as the Central Plains, so I think I can buy a place to live."

"I see." Lao Wang nodded when he heard this, Yue Er was right, at this time, the housing prices in the south were indeed much cheaper than those in the Central Plains, and the same price as the mansion in Sufu could be purchased in Yixing three or even more.

Moreover, the price of grain in the south is also cheaper than that in the Central Plains, but rich people in the south such as the Su family used to sharpen their heads and want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, because at this time, most of the industrial focus of the Song Court was here, but Su Yang'er's return to the south this time was undoubtedly the opposite, ruining the ten years of hard work after Su's father's resignation.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, and it's too late to say anything, so Lao Wang can only sigh and say: "In this case, I will tell the owner about this matter, and it is up to the little lady to decide whether to agree or not." ”

Xiao Er nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, then Yue Er thank you uncle." ”

"Then let's go, Uncle Wang." Yang Bao was about to pull Xiao Er away immediately.

At this time, Uncle Wang suddenly remembered something and stopped the two: "Little Er, you wait." ”

Xiao Er looked back when he heard the sound and wondered, "Does the old man have any other instructions?" ”

"I have heard that your eldest brother Yue Dalang has martial arts, since your family also wants to move to Yixing, can you ask him to be a guard on the road, it doesn't take half a month to go back and forth, I don't think he is in a hurry to join the army, right?"

This goes to Yixing, the road is far away, the Su family has valuable furniture, the library is a dozen cash boxes in cash, although it is a peaceful year, but in case of loss, it is not a joke, only relying on a few small people in the Su family's house, it is difficult to ensure that it is comprehensive, Uncle Wang is old and refined, he has long thought of this, and he planned to recruit some village warriors to accompany him before the journey.

At this time, because of Yue Er's incident, he remembered that his eldest brother Yue Dalang was quite famous in the township, and he was a strong descendant who had passed the army, so he asked this question.

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "I need to go back and discuss this matter with him." ”

"Alright, let's go."

After this incident, Uncle Wang rushed to Su Yang'er's boudoir again, wanting to discuss the reason for the trip with her, but as soon as he knocked on the door, he saw Su Yang'er was packing up with Xiaoling at this time.

Uncle Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, it seems that this little lady is really "like an arrow".

"Uncle, have you made all the arrangements, when can we leave?"

"Let's go?" Lao Wang shook his head helplessly, and said: "Little lady, on the way back to the hometown, there are thousands of miles away, donkey carts and horse harnesses, boat and ferry tickets, whether to take the water route or the land route, these are not good, how can you say that you can go." ”

Hearing this, Su Yang'er suddenly became a little unhappy, and said, "Uncle, when can we leave?" ”

Uncle Wang pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Tomorrow, Uncle will recruit villagers as soon as possible, find some strong descendants to be guards on the road, and then pack up the things in the house, and you can leave as soon as the day after tomorrow." ”

"Townsman guards?" When Su Yang'er heard this, she secretly said in her heart: "It's true, there are more than a dozen money boxes in the treasury, and you have to invite some bodyguards, this old Wang is still very thorough, no wonder my dead ghost father values him so much." ”

But when she thought of this, an interesting thought suddenly came to her, and she said, "Uncle, can I go and meet those strong young people you invited tomorrow?" ”

"See them?" Lao Wang was shocked: "What do you see these country horsemen doing? ”

"I..." Su Yang'er has been depressed for so many days, the door is not out of the door, seeing that there is a dawn of free life, she naturally wants to find something interesting to do, and she also wants to "inspect the goods", she doesn't want to invite a class of waste.

At that moment, she begged, "Uncle, you will let me see you." ”

"Little lady, you are a daughter to be married, how can you show up to meet these ugly men?"

Su Yang'er heard this, and deliberately deceited: "Then you still let me go to see that Zhao Jiu today?" ”

"It's... He's different, so Zhao Jiu is also a..."

Lao Wang said half of this, but he couldn't say it anymore, although that Zhao Jiu has a layer of stewardship, his style of conduct is really not much better, maybe it is not as good as the group of martial artists he will invite tomorrow.

Seeing this, Su Yang'er smiled and said, "Isn't there a screen behind the living room, I'm behind there, just don't let them see me." ”

As Su Yang's adaptation to the status quo improved, whether it was a female body or a female identity, he learned more and more decently, but the shameful rough man felt disgusted from time to time.

"That's... Well, alas..."Uncle Wang knew that he couldn't convince her, so he had to agree.

He never understood when Su Yang'er, who was originally knowledgeable and obedient and obedient, became so "naughty" in just a few days.
