Wang Qiao did not disappoint the Zhao family, and said without hesitation: "Mother, what did you say, we are going back to our hometown to do things, and we are not entering the ghost gate, where can we talk about resentment." Mother, you can rest assured, my craftsmanship is good, even if I can't do it myself, I can easily rely on the big construction industry, and I don't have to worry about the salary of supporting the family. ”

While Zhao was relieved that Wang Qiao did not hold a grudge against her, his mood was even more depressed.

In the past two days, she thought and thought, calculated and calculated, and recalled what Mrs. Qian said. If he returns to his hometown, Wang Qiao can only gather a few small craftsmen to do some small work, which will definitely be worrying and laborious. Big jobs don't dare to take on them, and small jobs not only earn less, but also don't last long.

Scattered craftsmen have always been like this, they earn a salary once when they take on the work, and they will eat the old money if they can't get it, although the life is better than that of the ordinary poor people, but they also have to calculate their lives, and they are by no means comparable to the rich and noble.

Even if Wang Qiao's craftsmanship is good and his work continues, he will only earn a maximum of 100 taels of silver a year, and he will not even have an income of 100 taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver For the Zhao family, who complained a few days ago, where can it be eye-catching, but for ordinary people, those who can earn one hundred and ten taels of silver a year are good people. People who have savings and can buy houses and land can accumulate slowly, and after more than ten years, twenty or thirty years, they can accumulate into small squire landlords who live on one side.

And when Zhao now thought of accumulating the word slowly, he felt that his heart, which was slightly relieved because of drinking medicine, instantly weighed on a heavy boulder.

He thought about the more than 7,000 taels of silver tickets sewn into his underwear, and then thought about what kind of life the Yin family who could earn 112 people of silver a year, Zhao felt like crying without tears, as if her illness was a little worse.

You must know that in the income of one hundred and ten taels of silver this year, the daily living expenses are not removed. If you live in Qi's house for more than a year, there are special cooks and fire girls in the kitchen, Xiaocui and Xiuqin are waiting for things inside and outside the house, and the sundries in the yard are done by the rough mother-in-law.

There is also the food, clothing and clothing of their family, which cannot be said to be very particular, but it is not that the landlord family with land in the village is willing to spend money to buy it.

Their Wang family will say goodbye to this life in the future.

Zhao Shi thought about it a thousand times, but still refused to give up, she asked Wang Qiaodao: "If you lead people to do things yourself, you may earn a hundred taels of silver a year?" ”

Wang Qiao thought for a while, nodded and said, "If it's done, it should be okay." ”

Zhao felt that the big stone that was pressing on his heart was a little heavier. The son said that it should be possible to do it well. In other words, if you don't do it well, you won't even have this one hundred taels of silver a year. What, then, is there a slave in the house? You have to live your own life with calculations.

Zhao Shi pulled out his breath vigorously and took two long mouthfuls.

No, she can't accept her fate, she can't let go of her good life, but she continues to live the kind of income of one hundred and ten taels of silver a year, and she has to be frugal and calculate the days of spending every penny.

Zhao said to Wang Qiao: "Ah Qiao, you said, Miss Ye can partner with Prince Yu to open a workshop, if you find a powerful partner, also partner to open a workshop or build a business?" ”

Wang Qiao looked at Zhao in amazement, his mother is not giving up, right?

After a while, he said uninterestedly, "I'm afraid it won't work." "It's only four words, and I don't bother to say one more word.

Zhao sat up straight and said hurriedly: "Look at your lack of interest, why can't you?" When you were in your early teens, you were a child, and who didn't praise you for your aura and talent? Ye Xinyan can partner with others to do business with a woman, why can't you? ”

Wang Qiao said lightly: "I do have talent, no matter what utensils are given to me, as long as I look at it, I can make it." Or someone tells me what he wants to do and what he wants to achieve. Just like Yezi, she told me what she wanted to do, and even discussed what kind of structure she could use to achieve her goals. I can try to do all of this. ”

"That's not it." Zhao said.

Wang Qiao smiled, "Mother, where can I find someone who can come up with a new idea?" If you do ordinary objects and buildings, you can hire people to do them by powerful people, at most you can use a few more people and spend more time, can you use it in partnership with me? ”

Zhao looked Wang Qiao up and down, weighing the truth of these words in his heart, whether her son had been separated from her and perfunctory with such words.

"Well, I know. Ah Qiao, it's not early, you can go and rest. ”

Wang Qiao left, and Zhao finished washing under Xiao Cui's service.

She lay in the dark, thinking to herself that maybe she could find Mrs. Qian at the inn again, maybe Mrs. Qian was well-informed, and had relatives in the Ministry of Works, so she would have a good recommendation.

Jiang Yifan and Ye Xinyan's renegotiation of the family matter went smoothly, and all the discussions were made before the year, except for the fact that there was no definite date for getting married, everything else was agreed.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mother Hong, who was beside Jiang Yifan's mother Qin, and Cui Cheng, who was in charge of Jiang Yifan's affairs, came to the Anguo Mansion to give a gift to the Ye family.

In the New Year's gift that was loaded with a whole carriage, in addition to the local specialties and various gifts for the New Year brought by the Qin family from Yunzhong Prefecture, there was also a box specially for Ye Xinyan.

This box was carried into Yin's house, placed on the ground, Yin's smiled and received Mama Hong, don't know how many baskets of good words to say money, before leaving, Mama Hong and the two mother-in-law who carried the box each got a heavy purse, the touch in the hand, it turned out to be a small silver ingot used to reward the New Year, a lot.

When Mama Huang sent Mama Hong out, she also wrapped a red envelope for the Jiang family who didn't come in outside the second gate.

Aunt Zhao, who takes care of the mansion of the Guogong Mansion, is very good at doing things, and personally took the gift list sent by the Jiang family to the Yin family's room and asked how to deal with it.

This time, the Yin family did not send Aunt Zhao away impatiently, but took the gift list and looked at it carefully, looking at the lake silk, Shu brocade, dark flower Luo, twisted gold yarn, silk yarn, and a few bacon, duck and so on, how many spices, spices, spices, etc.

The more Yin Shi looked at it, the better his mood became, Yuanfan really had a heart for Ah Yan, look at this thing, in such a short time, he can prepare so much. I'm afraid that not only did I send all the things that Mrs. Qin brought, but I also bought a lot on the spot.

Aunt Zhao sat on the first brocade stool, and seeing that Yin was in a good mood, she also joked: "Our aunt really likes the eldest lady, just looking at the gifts prepared this year, you know that the in-laws and aunt are very attentive." ”

Yin responded with a smile: "Yes, Yuanfan is a good boy, and his wife is also very friendly, so I didn't say anything to our Ah Yan." ”

Ye Xinyan sat beside Yin's side, didn't raise his head, and coughed heavily. Anyway, can you talk a little more restrained, she's still there, and she looks at her thick skin when she co-authors, and she doesn't know how to be shy, right?
