A thousand taels of silver seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is really not enough to spend it.

If you buy two Zhuangzi with silver and run them, it will be a steady stream of income; There is no need to sell grains and vegetables, and if they are well raised, chickens, ducks and fish do not need to go out to buy.

"My father and mother don't have any property in their hands, so when they are looking for a small village, they will find a small village; I'm looking for two Zhuangzi here, but I don't have enough money to find Xiao Mei. "Some of her silver was put in Xiao Mei's place, not much, only about eight hundred taels.

These silvers are given for Xiao Mei to do things for her every day, and on the surface, the silver in Xiao Mei's hand is all she has.

And the real big head is in the little bell.

With people around her, she didn't know how to exchange the silver ticket for gold and carry it with her; If you can seize an opportunity, you can put some gold and silver jewelry into the small bell, silver is also a currency in circulation, and the next world does not know where to go, so it is right to be fully prepared.

"Yes, the slave will go out of the house tomorrow to ask the tooth man, if there is a good one, the slave will pay the deposit first?"

Ming'ao nodded, "Yes." ”

The housekeeper took the order and left, Xiao Mei followed Ming Wu back to the house and gave her hot water to wash; Ate some more hot food and let her lie down and rest.

"Is my eldest brother back?" Ming asked me.

"I don't know." After separating at the gate, Ming Wu went back to the small courtyard alone, and Xiao Mei naturally followed her back; She really doesn't know Xiao Hongkang's whereabouts.

Ming's wife bowed slightly, "Go and inquire if the eldest brother has returned, and my father and second brother are in the house." ”

"Okay, slave and maid will go."

Xiao Mei went out for a while, found her father and asked, "Dad, I don't know if the eldest young master has gone back?" ”

"Someone just told me that the eldest young master went to the backyard; What's the matter, is the county lord looking for the eldest young master? The housekeeper asked.

"No, the county lord is just asking; also let me ask if the old master and the second young master are in the mansion. ”

The housekeeper pondered for a moment and shook his head, "The old master and the second young master have never returned from outside, and they have come back late in the past few days, so today they will probably wait until the evening." ”

Xiao Mei was puzzled and asked, "Where did they go?" Haven't you learned the dialect yet? ”

"You girl, you don't speak lightly or seriously, what are you talking about as a little girl? In short, the old master and the second young master are not there. After the housekeeper finished speaking, Xiao Mei stuck out her tongue and covered her mouth and ran to Wu Xingyuan.

Ming's wife was lying on the bed flipping through the books, Xiao Mei came back to learn the words, and asked curiously, "County Lord, what did you say the eldest young master was doing in the backyard?" ”

"Say hello to my mother, what else can I do?" She didn't have that mind, just go over and get together at dinner.

"County Lord, the eldest young master, aren't you going?" Xiao Mei was afraid that Xiao Hongkang would coax Xiao Le's family, and she was afraid that she would suffer.

Ming Wu shook her head and chuckled, raised her eyes to look at her, and said softly, "Mother is the mother of me and my eldest brother, don't think about it." ”

There are some things that she also understands that her mother has invested more affection for her eldest brother and second brother than she does; The mother's love she can feel in her mother is getting thinner and thinner, and the biggest reason is that she is too independent and too good at making money, and she has become a capable daughter in her mother's mind.

And the eldest brother and the second brother are not, the eldest brother and the second brother have achieved nothing so far, and they have never really come out in school; It's understandable that she's worried a little more, she's not a real child anymore, and she can see it. As long as you don't have bad intentions for her and don't calculate her, then everything will be easy to do.

"It's not that slaves think too much." It's Madame's approach that makes people have to think about it.

Ming's eyes lowered and continued to read, noncommittal to her words.

Xiao Mei couldn't persuade her, so she said to Ming's wife: "County master, can the slave go and bring you some tea and snacks?" You read a book and eat at the same time. ”

"Yes."

Xiao Mei went down to a cup of tea, and came back with tea and snacks; Ming Wu reads a book while eating, but she is also leisurely.

Whereas.

Back house, second courtyard.

Xiao Hongkang chatted with Xiao Leshi, "Mother, I am very good in the academy, and the gentlemen are very knowledgeable; My little sister often takes care of me in the academy, and the two brothers of the little sister also take care of my son, in general, my son is much better off in the academy than other poor children, you don't have to worry about me. ”

"That's good, your little sister is a caring person, and I can be relieved.

Finish; You study hard, your mother and father will have to rely on you in the future, and your sister will marry sooner or later. When we get married, your father and I, and none of our family can reach out to her anymore, understand? "With such good conditions provided by his daughter, Xiao Leshi wants his two sons to have a great future.

Now their whole family is relying on Sanya to live, and when their sons come out, they can also become their daughters' dependence.

"My son understands." Xiao Hongkang nodded and responded seriously.

When they finished talking, Xiao Leshi had the heart to ask, "What about your sister?" Why didn't I come with you? ”

"My little sister is tired, so I'll go back and rest first; However, when I came, I saw the housekeeper going to the courtyard of the little sister, who should not be able to rest and take care of the affairs of the house. ”

Xiao Le's mind moved, and he suddenly felt guilty, "My mother doesn't understand the things at home; It has always been the housekeeper and Sanya's habit, Sanya's absence is the housekeeper's habitual alone, and Sanya will be dealt with by Sanya when he comes back. Speaking of which, I'm a mother, I really haven't done anything for Sanya; On the contrary, she has been taken care of all the time. ”

"Mother, don't think about it, Sanya is also your daughter; It is necessary to take care of you, these words must not be heard by grandma, otherwise, grandma should have her mind again. Xiao Hongkang sighed lightly, he couldn't understand why milk likes to find fault, "By the way, mother, milk has become too fast; In the future, when you talk to your father, try not to tell your grandmother, so as not to cause trouble for your sister. ”

"I want to too! But your father ....... "can't do it without telling his mother."

Xiao Hongkang was full of helplessness in his heart, and he didn't know how to break the situation for a while, "Is the second aunt's words so influential?" Grandma is thinking about the second uncle's family, why don't you think about our family; Our life is not easy, although we have the silver given by our sister to live, but after all, we rely on our youngest sister to have our current life. ”

Being is not something to be proud of, why the milk just can't figure it out.

Xiao Le's eyes flashed slightly, recalling that after his father-in-law and mother-in-law entered the house, it was good at first; But when the mother-in-law saw the main courtyard arranged for them and her, everything changed.

"I know why your grandmother has changed like this, you don't care about these things, leave it to your mother."

"Will it work?" Xiao Hongkang is not sure. Initial Update@

In his memory, his mother has always been a meek and filial woman, with little ability, but she loves her children.

"It's okay if it's not unexpected, I'll call your dad when the time comes."

Xiao Hongkang is relieved a lot, with his father, his mother can't suffer a loss; No matter how much the milk finds fault, there is also a father to help with it, and with a father, the temperament of the milk will converge a lot.
