Chapter 1329: Settlement Problem
“It’s okay for the three of us to pool the money together, but after we settle down, we need to buy land and build a house. Where will the money come from? We can’t all sleep in a nest in the ground. Let's go!
It's almost winter now. We are not rich in food, so we still need to buy some food."
After Liu Dashan finished speaking, he started to scratch his head. .
Everyone fell into silence, and finally Feng Xuer gritted his teeth and said:
"Dad, I want to go to my old master's house tomorrow to see if the young lady can say a word for us out of the bond between master and servant. As long as we can save this money, we can persevere. Harvest next year. "
"Okay, third daughter-in-law, I'll give you a try tomorrow. Thank God that our whole family can get to Youzhou City safely.
It's available now. Money can solve the problem. If the money is gone, we can still make money. As long as we don’t starve to death, the worst we can do is tighten our belts for a few years.”
Old man Liu has lived for most of his life and is very sensible. He has already thought about splitting up the family after settling in this time and letting his three sons live their own lives.
Feng Xuer felt much more relaxed after hearing what Old Man Liu said. After all, she was the one who suggested leaving Liujia Village. If she was complained by her eldest brother and second brother's family for this, she would also feel aggrieved.
The next day, she waited all day again. When Feng Xuer came back, her face looked relaxed but also worried, but she still explained her visit to her old master's house in detail.
“Today I met with my old master, the young lady of the Gu family, a wealthy businessman in Youzhou City. My wife still remembered me and heard about me, so she wrote me a post and asked us to take the post. I should be able to save a lot of money when doing things in the yamen.”
After hearing Feng Xuer’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only Lianyi felt that there should be more to the story.
Sure enough, Feng Xuer paused and said:
“The young lady asked me about the situation at home and gave me two options. One is to go directly to Zhuangzi under her name. First, the Gu family can take care of the village she chooses to settle in, but she wants to find two personal maids for her daughter who are clean and innocent."
After hearing this, Zhuang Sisi and He Hua immediately changed their expressions. This was asking them to sell their daughters.
"Don't get me wrong, sisters-in-law. The Gu family is not trying to buy a girl, they just want to find a child with an innocent family background to be a playmate for the young lady.
Because the young lady was previously surrounded by someone from another family. , almost killed the young lady. The young lady did not dare to buy people from the dental shop anymore, because she was afraid of being driven into a nail again. Knowing that our family came from Xuzhou, she was sure that we could not be the enemy's nails, so she This proposal.
But if you want to join the Gu family, you must be satisfied not only with the young lady, but also with the young lady. In fact, if you go there, you will be the young lady’s playmate, and you don’t have to sell yourself. You just need to sign a living contract and wait for the child. When you reach the age of sixteen, you can go home."
After hearing Feng Xuer's explanation, the two sisters-in-law's faces improved, but the worry in their eyes could not be stopped. Although there was no peace at home. They are wealthy and have free children, but they also know that wealthy families have many rules and a lot of secrets, so the Gu family is being plotted against.
"The Young Madam said, take the person over and let her have a look. If he is suitable, he will stay. If not, he will give up. She will also protect our Liu family.
If the Liu family is unwilling, she will not be embarrassed. , even if that post repays my kindness for her, she won’t let me visit her again.”
Feng Xuer finished the rest in one breath and handed over the decision-making power. After all, the Liu family only wants girls, and she only has one son, so she can't express her opinion on this matter.
After hearing this, Old Man Liu was silent for a long time and then said to the eldest and second son:
"This is related to your daughter's future. You think about it carefully. If you don't want to, forget it. With the respect of the third daughter-in-law, we can save money and survive.”
Liu Dashan and Liu Dachuan looked at each other and took their respective wives to the corner to discuss.
Lianyi listened to the whole process. When her parents looked at her worriedly, she spoke like an adult:
"Dad, Mom, I am willing to go, and I will try to stay in Gu. "How old are you? Do you know what you are doing in the Gu Mansion? You are here to serve people. How can you be so relaxed when you are so young?" Zhuang Sisi choked with tears in her eyes. .
"Mom, don't be sad. My daughter understands. She decided to go because she understood. Erya is too young and has little strength. She will be easily bullied if she goes there. But I am different. I have great strength to coax children and can deal with a child. The little girl can definitely do it.
And the third aunt just said that this way we can choose a good place and be protected from being bullied. This is a good thing. When I get to know the little lady, I can still go home and have a look.
When I earn money, I can support my younger brother in his studies. When he gets the honors in the future, no one will dare to look down on me. ”
Ripple is six years old and speaks very clearly.
"This"
Zhuang Sisi hesitated, and so did Liu Dashan. After eight years of marriage, he only had a pair of children, and he couldn't bear to part with either of them. However, if both children had a good future, he would naturally be willing to give it a try. He couldn't let the children see the same things as him. God has food to eat, and if there is a disaster, he has no choice but to run away.
Liu Dachuan thought that his daughter could give it a try, but looking at Erya's timid appearance, he and his wife felt that the chance of their daughter being chosen was low.
"Otherwise, forget it, Erya is only four years old and is still too young."
Hehua said hesitantly.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
After all, Erya is Liu Dachuan's first child, and he still likes her very much.
After dinner, the two families told Old Man Liu the result of their discussion. Old Man Liu was not surprised that this would be the result, so he called Lianyi to his side and gave a few instructions in detail, and asked Feng Xuer to go first. He taught Lianyi some etiquette in the Gu family so as not to be looked down upon by others.
That night, Zhuang Sisi bathed Ripple, then slept with her daughter for the night. She got up early and changed Ripple into new clothes without patches. Then she watched Feng Xuer take her away, and then Just started wiping tears.
"Well, our eldest daughter is a smart girl and is also blessed. Maybe this is a good thing. What we can't give to her, eldest daughter can earn by herself."
On the other side Feng Xuer held Lianyi's little hand and gave instructions as she walked. She briefly mentioned the taboos of the Gu family, and then told her to stay away from the men in the Gu family.
Ripple just nodded her head. As for whether she understood or not, only she knew.
Feng Xuer entered the Gu Mansion through the back corner door. Because she had been here once yesterday, the doorkeeper recognized her. After the notification, Ripple successfully met Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu is dressed in a noble manner, her appearance is dignified and elegant, her body is covered with silk and satin, and her beaded hairpin does not make her look messy when she moves. On the contrary, it makes her even more imposing.
"Xu'er pays homage to the young lady!"
"Liu Daya pays homage to the young lady!"
Lianyi also performed a blessing ceremony in a decent manner and announced her home in a clear voice.
At the young lady’s signal, Feng Xuer stood up and said:
“Young madam, there are only children from my eldest brother’s family who are of the right age, so let me bring them to you today. Please take a look, my second brother’s girl is only four years old and is not suitable to accompany the little lady.”
Babys, this is the fourth update, see you tomorrow~
