Only Chen Shouxing and Mrs. Chen were left in the house.

Mrs. Chen clasped her arms with both hands, raised her eyebrows, and continued to beat people without saying that she was ugly.

The corners of Chen Shouxing's mouth twitched, and he took out the money bag directly from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Mother, you open it and take a look." ”

Mrs. Chen twisted her eyebrows and opened it to count the silver that happened to be handed over by the fifth child, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you won't pay it first?" ”

Chen Shouxing said in a low voice, "I hoarded some silver with Miao Miao, and I planned to pawn a house in the county, so I ...... it."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Chen's eyes widened and she interrupted in surprise, "What? ...... in the county"

She hurriedly covered her mouth again and lowered her voice, "Diandianfang? Do you have so much silver? If you live well at home, why do you want to go out and live? Isn't it ...... disgusting."

said it smoothly, Mrs. Chen quickly stopped her mouth and swallowed back the words "I hate your mother" in the back, Lao Wu Miaomiao is not such a person.

Chen Shouxing understood and said with a smile, "Mother, Miao Miao and I still live at home, and the pawn house is to rent out to earn money, and the silver is enough, but the pawn will be a little tight after the pawn, so I want to pay the family's silver later." ”

Mrs. Chen was first shocked that his little couple really had a silver pawn room, and then heard him say that he was short of money, so she naturally wanted to return the money bag to him, and suddenly remembered that he usually spent money indiscriminately, and suddenly put the money bag back with her hand.

Chen Shouxing: "??? ”

Mrs. Chen grinned, "Tight on money? Just let your kid be studious and save money! ”

The corners of Chen Shouxing's mouth twitched, and he held his forehead and said, "Mother, can't you save this silver?" ”

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and said, "What are you kid going to say to fool your wife?" ”

Chen Shouxing touched his nose and said with a dry smile, "How can there be?" Mother, this silver really can't be saved, for your grandson to study. ”

"What's not to ......" Mrs. Chen was stunned, "Studying?" ”

Chen Shouxing nodded and said, "I plan to send Rui Rui to the village for enlightenment in the spring, and when he is older, he will be sent to the private school in the county." ”

Private school in the prefecture! Mrs. Chen instantly understood his thoughts, and her lips trembled and said, "Old Five, do you want Rui Rui to test his fame?" ”

Chen Shouxing shook his head and said, "Maybe, if Rui Rui has talent, he will naturally have to provide it, if not, it will be better to find a job to support his family when he is older, and the start is at least much better than mine." ”

At least much better than me!

Mrs. Chen was sad, her son was smart, but it was a pity that she was reincarnated in a poor family like her and couldn't afford to study, so she still relied on marrying a daughter-in-law to know how to read.

Her mouth moved, and after a while, she swallowed back the frustrating words that the imperial examination had wasted money, stuffed the money bag back into his hand, and asked, "Is the silver possible?" ”

Chen Shouxing pinched the money bag, looked at the old lady who wanted to speak and stopped, the old face was wrinkled and worried, nodded helplessly and smiled, "Mother, think about it, Miao Miao and I have only been hoarding silver for two years, can we afford Rui Rui to study?" ”

Mrs. Chen blinked, she didn't pay attention to it before, but now when she heard him say this, she realized that my mother, this little couple has been hoarding silver pawn house for two years!

Her mouth was round, and she was inexplicably relieved, why? The youngest son can hoard so much silver with such a big spend, he must be able to afford Rui Rui's education!

The next day, everyone in the Chen family was curious about what Chen Shouxing was going to do, and they looked at him vigorously, but it was not easy to ask.

Chen Shouxing ignored their gaze, calmly finished breakfast, went out with the silver, got on the ox cart in the village, and went to the county seat to meet Fang Yazi who had made an appointment.

Fang Yazi Zhang Zili is in his thirties, literate but not much, and he is an acquaintance and frequent customer, and often asks him to write deeds such as renting a house.

The two said hello, didn't say much kind words, and went directly to see the house.

The two-story building is on the side of the street, the ground floor is the façade and the stove room, the upstairs guest seat and bed room, a total of four rooms of all sizes, and a small courtyard.

Zhang Zili said, "The house in this area costs 35 taels to buy, and the homeowner sells it for five years at 17 taels. ”

There is a two-storey building, five rooms up and down, covering an area of one point, and the location is slightly worse.

Zhang Zili said, "If you buy this house, it will cost you about thirty taels, and the owner of the house will sell it for ten years for fifteen taels." ”

A small courtyard house, two south rooms and two north rooms, and a wing room.

……

Chen Shouxing chose the house, got the deed and changed the locks, sent Zhang Zili away, and got back to the ox cart It was already noon.

He didn't buy anything this time, and he couldn't keep his wife staring!

As soon as Chen Shouxing entered the house, Mrs. Chen's eyes swept around him, and when she saw that there was really nothing, she retracted her gaze with satisfaction.

Chen Shouxing shook his head and sighed.

In the room, Zhao Miaomiao saw him coming back, put the needle and thread in the basket casually, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Shouxing took out the deed from his arms and handed it to her, "It is a big mansion with nine rooms, three main rooms, three wings, three facades, if you buy it, it costs fifty taels, and the owner of the house sells it for five years for twenty-five taels, I talked about the price, and finally it was twenty-three taels and a half." ”

Zhao Miaomiao's head was like a chicken pecking rice, pinching the deed and looking at it, no matter how you look at it, it is not enough.

Chen Shouxing smiled, "I sealed two coins of silver for Fang Yazi, and asked him to help rent out the house, this house can be charged about nine dollars of silver for a month, and Fang Yazi has news that the second brother of the village chief's family will bring us a message." ”

Zhao Miaomiao's eyes sparkled, and she counted with her fingers, "That year......"

Chen Shouxing pinched her soft face, hooked his lips and smiled, "I've calculated, if it goes well, I can collect about ten taels of silver a year, which is very profitable, my daughter-in-law is so smart." ”

Zhao Miaomiao raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Then let's stock up enough money to continue pawning the house and then renting it out." ”

Chen Shouxing bowed his head, he thought so too.

Zhao Miaomiao carefully put the deed away, and wrapped it in oiled paper before putting it in the money box and locking it.

When I looked up, I found two little heads lying on the side of the money box, one on the left and one on the right, and happily hugged the two little guys and kissed each of them on the white and tender little face.

The little chubby dun was kissed with a stunned face.

Rui Rui's ears turned red, and his immature voice said shyly, "Mother~ Daddy said that men and women can't kiss, and they can't kiss ......"

Zhao Miaomiao laughed, nodded her head and kissed him again.

Rui Rui: "??? ”

Zhao Miaomiao smiled even brighter, "Men and women don't kiss, wait until you turn seven years old, you are still a baby." ”

Rui Rui's ears turned redder when he heard his mother call him a baby, and he muttered, "My brother is a little baby, and I'm a big child." ”

Zhao Miaomiao looked at her awkward and cute eldest son and kissed her again.

Rui Rui: "......"

Chen Shouxing was unhappy, why did his daughter-in-law only kiss her son, "My daughter-in-law still has me." ”

Zhao Miaomiao turned her face away, and said cautiously, "My son is here, don't make trouble!" ”

Chen Shouxing watched his daughter-in-law's white face gradually redden, and the corners of his mouth hooked up and smiled.

Three days later, the second brother of the village chief's family brought Fang Yazi, and someone rented the house.

Chen Shouxing went out and came back, and put the money and the lease deed to his daughter-in-law, "Renting our house is a family with the surname Chang, and renting for a year will be pressed and paid one." ”

Zhao Miaomiao hid the money box while listening.
