Chapter 166: Abacus
Regarding Qiao Ju's regret, Qiao Ju's father said, "What is a golden hairpin compared to life?"
"That's right, I really can't say that we won't get the golden hairpin by then, and we'll have three lives. Even this ten taels of silver will be useless."
After taking the purse and looking at the three strings of money in it, Qiao Ju Niang said helplessly: "Oh, if you spend more than ten taels of silver, it will be a lot less. At least it can be used for several years.
However, for our current situation, it is still too few. Although we have household registration now, if we want to find a place to settle down, we have to buy some real estate and have to spend money to buy houses and land.
We can't be near this capital yet, we have to go a little further. This little money is probably not enough for travel expenses.
Those jewelry is worth a lot of money, but unfortunately they have the mark of the Chen Mansion on it, so they cannot be regarded as it. It is easy for people from the Chen family to find us. ”
"Don't worry. We don't go too far, we can save travel expenses. When we get to the place, we will have about two or three taels of money. If you buy a homestead and build a house, you don't need to build it too well, as long as it's almost the same. As long as you can live."
After wrapping the household registration layer by layer, I would still hand it over to Qiao Ju Niang for her to put it away. Qiao Ju's father obviously said confidently: "As for the money for buying land, I think it may be possible to have a settlement."
"What I said is so light? You can get at least twelve or three taels of silver for one acre of land. How can you make money outside so easily?"
Qiao Ju Niang was half-believing and half-doubting about Qiao Ju’s father’s words. But seeing how confident he said, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "How do you want to make money?
Should I be a accountant? No, don’t talk about how to settle accounts, you are not as good as Qiaoju. Just say that if you want to be an accountant, you don’t know which year or month you have to wait? ”
As she said that, she sighed again: "But fortunately, our treasure is still young. We two have worked hard for a few years. When he needs to get married, he should still be able to buy two acres of land for him."
"I said I have a solution, why don't you believe it?"
Qiao Ju's father, who had already made up his plan, looked at Qiao Ju's wife helplessly: "I never planned to be a shopkeeper. But I was thinking about raising more pigs. A few years ago, I had a good relationship with the Chen family gardener.
His grandfather had raised pigs. He liked drinking and said everything he could. I have told me that the secret method of raising many pigs will not get swine fever, but it is just right for us to use it now. ”
"Dad, have you already thought about where we will stay in the future?" Hearing this, Qiao Ju didn't understand that her father had thought about everything? Hurry up and ask.
"That's right. I've thought about it all. Let's go to the mountain village in the future."
"Wangshan Village?"
Qiaoju and Qiaoju Niang both felt that the name was familiar, but they were stunned when they thought about it for a moment.
After looking at each other, Qiao Ju Niang asked Qiao Ju with some uncertainty: "Wangshan Village is the mother's home of the maid married by the concubine son of the An family?
I vaguely remember hearing what you said, the concubine was forced by the Chen family’s aunt, and the last family hid there? Could it be that I remembered it wrong? ”
"That's right, it's Wangshan Village."
Qiao Ju looked at her father and had guessed her father's thoughts: "Dad, are you trying to sell the secret of the Chen family to the An family's concubine son? That's not right? It's just for them. Are they still capable? Go and seek revenge from the Chen family and the Lin family? "Yes." Qiao Ju Niang said disagreeably, "Besides, when they were forced to leave the capital, there was nothing left. Now so many years have passed, They are afraid they are poor and useless, so what can they buy our news?”
"I don't have to ask them to buy it for money."
Qiao Ju's father said disapprovingly: "The most apologiest thing the Chen family and the Lin family do is their family. Although they can't deal with the Chen family now, it's better to have a hundred days of good luck. The Chen family and the Lin family are always in power. When it's weak, right?
If they wait patiently, they might be able to wait until they settle the score with them? Will An’s family’s property be back then?
But then, no one knows how long it will take to wait. I am not greedy either. I will tell them that it is based on our conscience. Even if it is a hundred years in the future, it is better to be a wise ghost than to be a confused ghost?
Second, even if we have household registration now, but are not familiar with the place, which village dares to take us in at will? But if we use that news to them. With them helping to speak, we will naturally be able to settle there soon. ”
After laughing, Qiao Ju's father said to Qiao Ju Niang, "Haha, it's said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. They may not be as nothing as you think.
But even if it is really nothing. Don’t I tell you, right? Do I have the secret method to raise pigs? With craftsmanship on our side, we can only work hard for a few years and live a good life. ”
"That's true."
Qiao Ju Niang and Qiao Ju both nodded, but Qiao Ju Niang was still worried after all, "It's just that the Chen family and the Lin family know where they are. The head of the family, do you think the Chen family and the Lin family will suddenly look for them. Go to the door, will we all suffer?”
"No. If the Chen and Lin families really wanted to kill them all, they would have taken action long ago."
Qiao Ju's father was not worried at all. As he was talking, he saw someone coming with a ox cart. When he saw the clothes, he knew that it should be a farmer in a nearby village. He stopped him and gave him a few copper coins and asked someone to take him along for a while.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
In this way, the whole family was already far away from the capital without realizing it.
Thinking about the Chen family's people, even if they know that they escaped, they will not be able to catch up with them. The family then breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was getting dark, they found a dilapidated temple for a night.
It is not that easy to be a fugitive slave, especially a fugitive slave from a powerful family like the Chen family.
It has already run quite far, but Qiaoju's family is still uneasy after all. The next day, it got up before dawn, so Qiao Ju's father didn't dare to delay any more and took his family into the mountains.
Settling down, wood-room.
Even Chen and An Shenggui knew that Chen's eldest maid Xiangye's family was wronged, but the two of them were still locked up.
They were **** and threw them into the woodshed room. At first, Xiangye's family knew that Chen and An Shenggui had reported to Jingzhao Yamen to investigate the case. They saw that it was already noon and no one came to interrogate them. They still felt lucky.
However, until it was dark, not only did no one come to interrogate their family. Even people came to deliver water and food to them, and Xiangye's family couldn't help but feel terrified.
"Dad, mom, are they planning to starve us to death like this?"
