After figuring out the price of the stone bricks, Zhao Kangcheng went back with the three children.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I unexpectedly saw Cai Xiaoxiao sitting on the steps in front of the house, with her hands on her cheeks and her eyes in a daze.

"Daughter-in-law?" Zhao Kangcheng shouted, "Are you done with your work? ”

Because Zhao Kangcheng went out, Cai Xiaoxiao suddenly had no motivation to do things, and she ran to the yard in a daze when she stayed in the kitchen, and suddenly heard Zhao Kangcheng's voice, looked up, her eyes lit up, and then she ran to Zhao Kangcheng happily: "Xianggong, you're back." ”

"Well, I'm back." Zhao Kangcheng picked up Cai Xiaoxiao and asked the question just now, "Are you done?" ”

"No, you're ...... Hey? Who are they? Cai Xiaoxiao was just about to answer Zhao Kangcheng's question, but saw Zhao Wu and the three of them standing behind Zhao Kangcheng.

Zhao Wu and the three of them saw that the woman in front of them who seemed to be Mrs. noticed them, so they bowed to Cai Xiaoxiao together and shouted, "I've seen Mrs." ”

"Huh?" Cai Xiaoxiao was stunned, she looked at Zhao Wu and the others, then at Zhao Kangcheng, and then at Zhao Wu and the others, and saw that the three of them were dressed in shabby clothes and looked malnourished, she finally reacted and asked Zhao Kangcheng, "Have you gone to Yashi?" "These three were bought?

"Hmm." Zhao Kangcheng nodded, and then introduced Cai Xiaoxiao one by one, "This is called Zhao Wu, he knows a little kung fu and is also literate, he can protect you in the future." ”

Zhao Wu: "Hello madam. ”

Zhao Kangcheng continued: "This is called Zhao Jie, he can count, and he can help you manage the account book in the future." ”

Zhao Jie: "Hello madam." ”

Zhao Kangcheng continued: "This is called Cai Yan, who can cook, and I can help you in the future." ”

Cai Yan: "Hello madam. ”

After listening to Zhao Kangcheng's introduction, Cai Xiaoxiao understood that these three people were specially found by Zhao Kangcheng for her, although Cai Xiaoxiao was a little moved in her heart, but she thought that Zhao Kangcheng didn't bring money out before, which means that he spent his own money.

Thinking of this, Cai Xiaoxiao frowned a little, and she asked Zhao Kangcheng quietly: "Xianggong, how much did you spend?" ”

"Not much, just about one or two." Zhao Kangcheng said.

"You're using your ten taels of silver, aren't you?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked.

"Hmm."

Cai Xiaoxiao frowned: "Xianggong, those ten taels are your private money!" You should find me......"

"Daughter-in-law." Zhao Kangcheng interrupted her words and said with a serious face, "This is my heart, and I should use my silver." ”

Cai Xiaoxiao saw the persistence in Zhao Kangcheng's eyes and the displeasure at what she was about to say, Cai Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said softly: "I'm sorry Xianggong, you know I didn't mean that......"

"yes, I know." He knew that she just wanted to spoil her, and he also wanted to spoil her, "Don't talk about this, since everyone has brought it back, you can look at the arrangement." ”

"Hmm......" Cai Xiaoxiao looked at the three of them, and she asked, "How old are you?" ”

Zhao Wu: "The youngest is twelve years old. ”

Zhao Jie: "The youngest one is ten years old. ”

Cai Yan: "The slave is eight years old. ”

Yes, it's really regular, one is two years younger than the younger, and they are all children who haven't grown up.

Listening to their self-proclaims, Cai Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Here, you don't need to call yourself 'small' or 'slave', just say 'me'." ”

"It's not in order!" The three said.

"I'm the rule!" Cai Xiaoxiao crossed her hands on her hips and said with a proud look, "You guys don't sound used to calling me like that, okay?" ”

Zhao Kangcheng smiled beside him and looked at Cai Xiaoxiao dotingly.

Zhao Wu and the three of them glanced at each other, understood Cai Xiaoxiao's kindness, smiled, and then said to Cai Xiaoxiao in unison: "Yes, madam." ”

Cai Xiaoxiao looked at the three of them again, then took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Wu, saying, "Take it and change two sets of clothes for each of you." ”

The three of them looked at the silver in Zhao Wu's hand in a daze, and Zhao Wu asked Cai Xiaoxiao in a trembling voice: "Madam, aren't you afraid that we will run away with the silver?" "That's enough silver to rent a carriage!

"Run? Do you want to go home? Let's go back then. Cai Xiaoxiao waved her hand indifferently and said. It was originally three children, how could it be sold as slaves unless necessary. So even if Cai Xiaoxiao runs away, he doesn't care, after all, no one wants to be a slave, but if he really wants to run, it's a pity that he has just one or two pieces of silver.

Hearing Cai Xiaoxiao's words, the three of them had tears in their eyes, and suddenly, they knelt down one after another and kowtowed to Cai Xiaoxiao, so frightened that Cai Xiaoxiao hurriedly jumped to the side: "What are you doing?" Don't worship me! I'm afraid of losing my life! As he spoke, he hid behind Zhao Kangcheng.

Zhao Kangcheng smiled helplessly and shook his head: His daughter-in-law is really interesting.

Zhao Wu said to Cai Xiaoxiao: "Madam, you are compassionate, we will definitely be a cow and a horse to honor you!" With that, the three of them left.

Cai Xiaoxiao looked at the three of them leaving with a confused expression, and then asked Zhao Kangcheng: "So, are they really going home?" ”

"Not yet." Zhao Kangcheng rubbed her hair helplessly, "They are home, and I will have to buy them again." ”

"It's okay, buy me again and pay for it!" This time, Cai Xiaoxiao no longer resisted this matter.

"Let's go, didn't you say you're not done? What's left undone? Zhao Kangcheng led her back to the kitchen.

"It's multicolored noodles." Cai Xiaoxiao said, "I don't have the motivation to do it after you leave, so I'll leave it there." ”

"Unmotivated? Why? Zhao Kangcheng was puzzled.

"Because I miss you." Cai Xiaoxiao said bluntly.

Zhao Kangcheng: "......"

Cai Xiaoxiao: "Xianggong, you blushed." ”

"By the way, I looked at the price of stone bricks." Zhao Kangcheng began to change the subject.

"Oh? How's that? Cai Xiao knew it carefully, but in order not to make Zhao Kangcheng angry, he obediently cooperated with him to change the topic.

"I have estimated that if you want to do what you described before, and then add the surrounding walls, it will cost at least three hundred taels of silver." Zhao Kangcheng said.

"So expensive?!" Cai Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

"And that's not even counting the purchase of furniture. If you buy furniture, you need at least 500 taels. Zhao Kangcheng continued.

"Ah......" Cai Xiaoxiao was disappointed, "We don't even have three hundred taels now...... let alone five hundred taels."

"Take your time, don't rush." Zhao Kangcheng comforted, "With this store, are you still worried about running out of money?" Speaking of houses, how do you plan to settle Zhao Wu and the three of them? Zhao Kangcheng remembered the resting place of Zhao Wu and the others.

"Huh? Aren't they gone? How else to settle down? Cai Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
