Fortunately, it was finally dark and it was time to rest again.
The place to camp tonight is a village.
Although everyone lived near each other for the convenience of guarding, they didn't live in the same place after all, so no one bothered her anymore.
The Lu family was guarded by Liang Jiamin and several official servants, and they were arranged to stay at the village chief's house.
However, the houses are not provided to prisoners for free.
Liang Jiamin said: "There are three rooms that can be spared in the village chief's house. Two of them are the main room and the other is the firewood room. The main room is 800 yuan a night and the firewood room is 600 yuan a night. Who wants it? Just pay, don't sleep in the yard."
I heard that even a firewood shed costs 600 cents, and someone suddenly muttered: "This is too expensive, the price is almost as high as that of a big inn in the capital.
" Before the exile, no one might have taken a few hundred pennies seriously, but after the exile, all the belongings were confiscated and the relatives and friends were afraid of being implicated, so they all hid. Eat, suffer less torture, and plan for the future.
These few hundred pennies are already a huge sum of money to them.
People with second- and third-bedroom apartments hesitated for a moment, and were unwilling to spend so much money to live in a house.
With this kind of money, I might as well find villagers in exchange for some food!
If it were normal, Mrs. Chen would still be counting on Mrs. Lu. But now, knowing that the man was not her mother-in-law's biological child at all, and that not only would her mother-in-law not help them, she might even secretly hate them in her heart, she quickly made a decision and settled in a corner that could protect her from the rain.
Jiang Tangtang couldn't come up with the money either.
In her memory, the original owner's father secretly sent her some banknotes, but the money had already been squandered by the original owner.
But she really didn't want to sleep in the yard. Just when she was frowning and worrying, she suddenly remembered that the original owner didn't have money, but she did.
As a jewelry designer, her favorite thing to do in her daily life is to appreciate and collect various jewelry.
She didn't have the money to buy top-quality gems, but she still collected a lot of ordinary silver jewelry and gold jewelry.
She thought for a while, and using the cover of the baggage, she took out a silver bracelet from the space and said, "I don't have so many copper coins anymore. Can I exchange it for jewelry?" The
silver bracelet on Jiang Tangtang's hand was not big. You can tell by looking at it that not much silver was used, but the style is very exquisite.
Although the village chief lives in such a remote village, he is knowledgeable.
With just one glance, you can tell that the value of this jewelry is definitely not low. A style like this would cost tens of taels of silver in the capital.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, after all, it comes from the Zhongming Dingshi family. Even if it is defeated, it is still a good thing.
He took the silver bracelet, shook it and said, "Of course, but your bracelet is hollow and only has one or two weights at most. Even if you get one or two silvers, I will give you the best main room. In addition, I'll give you some more mixed noodles."
Jiang Tangtang didn't expect that the head of this remote village had potential as a profiteer.
But
she said: "We have prepared our own food. Forget about the wowotou. I see you have a cart in your yard. Can I exchange the remaining money for that cart with you? My children are too young and they really can't walk. It's easier to have a few children with a stroller."
The village chief didn't expect that Jiang Tangtang was smart. Instead of breaking the bracelet with him, the craftsmanship had already exceeded the money itself. Instead, he failed in front of her and asked for a replacement stroller. .
Although the cart was old, its wheels were solid and it cost five or six hundred coins to buy in the market.
The village chief was a little reluctant to give up.
But thinking that he could make a lot of money just by changing hands with this bracelet, he sighed in a pretentious manner and said: "You little lady is very good at settling accounts. This cart of mine costs at least seven or eight hundred pennies in the market." , This won't work, you have to add more."
"Forget it, let's sleep in the yard tonight! I'll keep this bracelet until the next town, maybe I'll be lucky enough to get a donkey cart! Jiang Tangtang said and stretched out his hand to take the bracelet back.
The village chief put the bracelet in his arms and said: "Forget it, for the sake of your children, this house will be used as a free night's stay."
"Thank you very much, village chief!" Business After the negotiation was completed, Jiang Tangtang was happy and continued to ask: "By the way, can you borrow some hot water? Several children are sick, and I want to wash their faces first." There are
two cars in the team now, one is The official chariot carries pots and other cooking utensils, while the other chariot carries grain.
The wolf meat they pickled today was placed on the official's grain truck.
Although we have a good relationship with the officials now, they won't say anything if the wolf meat is placed on the official's grain truck, but where can it be more convenient to own a car?
Later, they had their own carts. In addition to pushing their children, they could also put the wild vegetables picked up along the road on the carts and push them around.
Seeing that Jiang Tangtang was not a woman who didn't understand anything, the village chief didn't bother with her on these trivial matters and called the eldest daughter-in-law to come over and get hot water for Jiang Tangtang.
"Let's go to the room to rest first. Mom will prepare something delicious for you later." Jiang Tangtang led Lu Tiantian to the room first, and Lu Shiyan followed the village chief's wife to get hot water.
Seeing that everyone in the big room had moved into the room, Lu Yingxun was extremely angry.
He turned around to find trouble with Mrs. Chen, "My wife has taken her private house to live in another room.
Where is your private house?" "How can I have a private house? You are a man. You don't think about how to support your wife and take care of your children. Instead, you rely on everything. Me, what do you think you are good for? No wonder everyone is laughing at you behind your back for being a wimp."
After learning that Lu Yingxun was the son of the old Marquis and a prostitute, Mrs. Chen secretly made plans in her mind.
Not to mention that the Dingbei Hou Mansion is gone now, Lu Yingxun's status is not worthy of her!
She is a serious legitimate daughter.
Although her status at that time was not as good as that of Dingbei Houfu, if she had known that he was born to a prostitute, she would never have married him.
"Who are you calling a coward? You bitch!" Lu Yingxun's face was twisted as he kicked and hit Chen.
"Dad! Stop fighting!" Chen's son and daughter went over to hug Lu Yingxun.
Lu Huaiyun said: "Mom really has no money! Brother Lin fell ill on the way, so she used all the money she had to pay back the medicine for Brother Han."
Lu Han is Lu Huaiyun's son. He is 6 years old this year, although he is older than the triplets. Big, but still just a child, it is inevitable to get sick on the road.
Lu Zhiyi also helped his brother and said, "It's true that Aunt Xue hid a few bills and never took them out to spend. If dad really wants to live in a house, he might as well ask Aunt Xue to give her private room."
Although Lu Yingxun had no real power before, But relying on the reputation of Dingbei Houfu, he had many concubines.
However, when the Lu family was confiscated, all the barren concubines and their wives were sold together with the servants.
The only person who was exiled with him was Aunt Xue, who had given birth to a son.
