"Let's go back and find a big car shop to rest for the night, and then go to Xiaopao Town without going back to the barracks first, you can settle down your younger siblings there and then go back to the barracks." Mo Dao and the horse followed the carriage and said in a deep voice.

After they left Liu's mansion, under the warm invitation of County Lieutenant Li, they finally had lunch at his house, and County Lieutenant Li let a few people leave.

"Listen to the fourth brother." Chen Mo had no opinion on this, they had discussed this matter before.

As a woman, Zhao Yu obviously couldn't go into the barracks, so she could only settle down in the town near the barracks.

After explaining the matter, Mo Dao and his horse walked forward to lead the way, also leaving some private space for Chen Mo and the others.

"There is a snack in the package, if you are not full, you can eat more, and I have my clean clothes, if it is cold, you will wrap it on your body first." Chen Mo whispered to the carriage.

Hearing the response from inside the carriage, he didn't pay any more attention, and drove his horse forward cautiously.

The big car shop is not the previous one, but as long as it is a big car shop on the official road, in fact, there is not much difference between each one.

instructed Xiao Er to feed the horses and simply deal with a dinner, and several people went into the house to rest.

"What's next for you?" Chen Mo took a sip of tea and asked Zhao Yu who was sitting next to him in a low voice.

The two of them are husband and wife, so naturally they should sleep in one room, and there is no need to waste money to open another one.

Zhao Yu was silent, she had only thought about getting out of slavery before, and she had never thought much about things in the future.

She and Chen Mo seem to be husband and wife, but in fact they are not, the other party can redeem her body and complete the agreement of the year, and she can no longer rely on the other party.

For the rest of the day, I had to figure out how to get by.

"I should have another relative in Ningye Mansion in my family, and I want to go to them." She thought for a long time before she spoke.

"Ningye Mansion is at least one or two thousand miles away from here, not to mention that you can't say if you can find someone in the past."

Chen Mo shook his head slightly, he didn't know where Ningye Mansion was, but he knew that there was no Ningye Mansion among the several state capitals adjacent to Xingyuan Mansion.

This shows that Ningye Mansion is far away from here, and with Zhao Yu's current situation, it is a question of whether he can go to the place alive, and even if he does, he may not be able to find someone.

"I am not alone in helping you redeem yourself, but I am asking my father-in-law General Sun of Xingyuan Mansion to help.

I said that you were my wife, and he helped. Although you are a free body now, the relationship between you and me cannot be directly told to him now.

You can't go to Ningye Mansion now, so it's better to settle down first. After a while, I can help you settle down and buy a house, and I can help you find relatives and friends when you leave. ”

Chen Mo can redeem Zhao Yu for his father-in-law's help, it is impossible for people to just redeem them now, and send people away directly, saying that she is not his wife.

There is also the fact that with Zhao Yu's current state, letting her go to Ningye Mansion alone is no different from letting her die.

Chen Mo worked hard to redeem her, not so that she could die, but so that she could live better.

"I'll listen to you." Zhao Yu was quite submissive, and she had no choice but to do so now.

"I'll send you to the small robe town next to the barracks to settle down first, and I'll think about other things slowly when you settle down."

This is something that was said before, and Chen Mo has said it again.

Zhao Yu nodded, without any objection to this.

After a night of silence, they left early the next day and arrived at noon, when they rushed to the town of Xiaopao.

The population of Xiaopao Town is only a few thousand, but because of its proximity to official roads, its prosperity and business atmosphere are not bad even compared to the smaller county seats.

In addition, the pro-military camp is stationed nearby, which allows some industries in the town to flourish.

But even so, there are very few houses in the town that are rented out, and the only way to settle down is to buy the next house.

Chen Mo first took Zhao Yu to change his nationality and settle down, exchanged his slave nationality for civilian registration, and fell into his own household as his wife.

This is not an easy task, but he is the adopted son of General Sun, so this matter is easy.

Mo Dao helped find a Chinese man to buy a thatched house with a single courtyard in the east of the town, and also brought a small piece of open space in front of the house.

This whole yard is not expensive, only three taels of silver.

After all, this is only a small town, and the house is only a sturdy thatched house, not a wood and stone house with blue bricks and gray tiles.

"You take your younger siblings to settle here first, and the carriage will also be left for you, don't forget to go back to the camp when you're done." Mo Dao told Chen Mo a word, and then drove away.

"You pack up first, I'll go buy you something."

The basic furniture in the house is there, even the stove has been built, and you only need to buy some daily necessities such as rice, noodles, pots and bowls, and you can move in.

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he set up the carriage and walked towards the market in the town, and after walking around for a while, everything was bought.

Fifteen catties of white flour with fifteen catties of cornmeal, pots and pans, spoons, fragments of life, and a set of beds and bedding, and five catties of pork and bought some radish and cabbage.

Before returning to the thatched courtyard, Zhao Yu was busy cleaning up.

In this house, although the sparrows are small, they are all complete, and there are all the main halls, bedrooms, kitchens, and thatched houses.

Not far from the hut, there is also a well where everyone in the neighborhood has draught, so it is easier to fetch water.

Chen Mo removed all the heavy objects from the carriage and filled the kitchen tank with water.

Zhao Yu sorted out some bits and pieces, and took the meat and vegetables into the kitchen to work.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the two of them had lunch.

"You take all this money, if there is anything you want to buy at home, go buy it, and come to see you when I take a break in a few days."

After eating, Chen Mo took out more than five coins of silver and copper plates.

"It's too much, I can't use it up." Zhao Yu shook his head and refused.

Chen Mo has already helped herself a lot, and she is a little embarrassed to take this money again.

"Take it, be prepared." Chen Mo put the money on the table and got up to leave.

He had to hurry up, and if he didn't go back to the camp, it would be curfew.

"You go slower." Zhao Yu admonished.

Driving the carriage back to the barracks, it was already sunset.

went to the stable to return the carriage first, and Chen Mo went straight to the study with the remaining more than twenty taels of silver.

"Father-in-law." Walking into the study, Chen Mo bowed and bowed.

Sun Shouren was slightly surprised when he saw him, "People say that Xiaobei is better than a newlywed, why did you come back so early!" ”

"Here's what's left." Chen Mo didn't answer much, and took out the remaining silver from his arms.

Sun Shouren didn't look closely, he knew from the beginning that the money would not be spent.

If you want to ransom someone, a rich man in the county, even if he eats the gall of the ambitious leopard, it is impossible to dare to ask for his ransom.

However, he didn't expect this rich man to be so good, and he hurried to give him the gold and silver land deed, wanting to take this opportunity to take advantage of his relationship.

Sun Shouren naturally will not refuse this, he spends a lot of money on military training, and then the number of pro-military camps continues to expand, and he needs more money.

Relying only on the imperial court to give, he must not be able to, he can only find his own way.

"There is no reason to get back the money I gave out, you can take the money and spend it." Sun Shouren waved his hand.

Seeing that Chen Mo was still unmoved, his brows furrowed slightly and urged, "Put it away quickly, is it possible that you still want me to hand it to you personally." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Chen Mo couldn't postpone it any longer at the moment, so he could only accept the silver tael.

He bowed again, and then he left the study.
