Chapter 323
Gu Benluo straightened his face, "Mother, I will follow you closely, and I won't let Pai Huazi take me away."

Jin Qianqian patted his head, and ordered people to go down and call for more guards, so that his heart would be more secure.

"Mother, where are we going?" Seeing people coming and going on the street, Gu Benluo wanted to run down a long time ago, but the carriage never stopped.

Jin Qianqian handed Gu Bencan, who was already asleep, to the nurse at the side, and accompanied Gu Benluo to look at the scenery outside, "Yesterday, my mother just bought a Zhuangzi, so I just went to have a look today when I have time."

Gu Benluo looked a little disappointed, "What's so interesting about Zhuangzi? You can't buy anything."

Jin Qianqian bowed her waist and looked at him at the same level, "Is it fun to buy things?"

"Well, you can buy things that we don't have at home."

Jin Qianqian, "Does Luoluo know what you need to buy something?"

"Pay the money," Gu Benluo blurted out without even thinking about it, and looked at Jin Qianqian with a smug face. The question was too simple.

Jin Qianqian, "Then where did the money come from?"

Gu Benluo paused for a while, "both father and mother."

Jin Qianqian then asked, "Then does Luoluo have any money?"

Gu Benluo scratched his head, and finally pointed at Jin Qianqian, "Mother."

Jin Qianqian, "Where did that mother get her money from?"

Gu Benluo was anxious now, he shook his head, this question really stumped him.

At this time, Jin Qianqian happened to see a porter picking vegetables and walking forward with difficulty, "Look at that grandpa, Luo Luo, do you think he is working hard now?"

Gu Benluo looked at the sweat falling from his face, "It should be very hard, but mother, why did he pick so many?"

Jin Qianqian helped him tidy up his clothes, "For the sake of living, look, this full load of vegetables may be the only thing that can be exchanged for copper coins in their family."

While talking, Jin Qianqian asked Liqiu for a money bag, and found two copper coins from it, "Just like this, two copper coins can buy two handfuls of vegetables. Think about how many copper coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver?"

"I know that, my mother taught me before, one thousand wen," Gu Benluo covered his mouth after breaking off his fingers, "Isn't that a lot of dishes?"

Jin Qianqian pointed at the small vendors outside again, "All the copper coins they earned hard-earned have to support their families, so how much copper coins did Luo Luo earn? Will we be able to support our parents in the future?"

Gu Benluo looked at his little hands with a downcast expression, "Mother, Luoluo is still young and can't earn money."

"Then do you have silver taels to buy now?" Jin Qianqian tried again.

Gu Benluo pursed his lips, "But I don't want my parents to work so hard, and I don't want to buy anything in the future."

Jin Qianqian kissed his little face, "Mother doesn't mean that you won't buy things, but there are some things that you can buy or not, like the last time you went out with your father and bought a lot of things. How is everything?"

"Then..." Gu Benluo thought of those sugar figures that had been melted away, as well as the kites and lanterns that he had destroyed... He lowered his head and secretly looked at Jin Qianqian from the corner of his eye.

Jin Qianqian patted him on the back, "Do you feel that you bought too many things last time, and a lot of them were wasted?"

Gu Benluo nodded, because of his greed, he bought a few copies of many things, but he didn't keep any of them in the end.

Jin Qianqian knows that this child has shown his intelligence in many places, and some things need to be guided slowly, so that he can see the multi-faceted nature of this world.

Even if he doesn't understand it very well now, if you talk to him more times, you will gradually understand it.

The carriage had already driven out of the gate of the city at this time, Jin Qianqian lifted the curtain, pointed to the mountains and rivers not far away, "Do you feel that it is much cooler here than in the city?"

The heat of early summer was also blown by the gusts of mountain wind, and it receded a lot. Gu Benluo's originally tense face relaxed, "comfortable."

Jin Qianqian, "Wait a minute, when you go to the Zhuangzi, mother will show you their life. It was the same with parents before."

"Just like our hometown?" Gu Benluo still remembers Gaoling Village. Although the uncles in the family didn't farm the land anymore, he also saw other elders in the village busy in that piece of farmland.

Jin Qianqian did not expect that the child had such a good memory and could remember everything about Gaoling Village, "Well, in the Rong Dynasty, [-] to [-]% of the people were farmers, and they all made their living by farming.

They are also the ones who live the hardest and most tiring lives. They depend on the sky to eat, and they may not be able to feed their stomachs. "

Gu Benluo, "Aren't they all hungry?"

Jin Qianqian patiently helped him explain the current harvest and taxation of various crops. Sometimes, God is not blessed, and after paying taxes, the family can only rely on a little grain and wild vegetables to survive.

The carriage finally arrived at Xiaozhuangzi. This Zhuangzi was truly small, with forty or fifty acres of paddy fields divided into upper, middle and lower classes.

A crumbling two-story house with dozens of acres of barren hills behind it is already the whole of this village.

"This place is too dilapidated," Jin Qianqian stood in the yard feeling disgusted, other people's yards were full of flowers and plants, which were arty, and there were a lot of them here, but unfortunately, it was full of wild flowers and weeds.

Not long after entering the yard, the mosquitoes flying here almost surrounded people, so Jin Qianqian could only ask the nanny to take the two children back to the carriage first.

"The owner hasn't been here for a long time," Zhuangtou, who hurried over after receiving the notice, said with a smile on his face, "The original owner of this yard didn't give us the key, and we can't come in to take care of it. Come and clean up yourself."

When Jin Qianqian entered the door, she saw the rusted lock handle, and knew that what the village head said was true, "Then you can clean it up first, and then I will send someone to repair it."

Looking up at the roof with exposed holes everywhere, she was already thinking in her heart, is this going to be demolished and rebuilt or repaired?
I thought that in the vicinity of the suburbs of Beijing, no matter how broken or small, it should not be much worse, but I didn't expect it to be really unexpected.

"What did the original owner do? No matter how small the village is, it can't be so deserted."

Li Zhuangtou, "This Zhuangzi was bought by the youngest son of the Liu family, a wealthy businessman from the North, but he is just a fun guy, so he didn't think of it for a long time.

It was not until the new wife came in a few years ago that the owner remembered these title deeds.

It's a pity that after the new lady sent someone over to look at it, she disliked it very much, so she left it. "

When Li Zhuangtou said this, he added another sentence in a hurry, so that the new owner could not be misunderstood, "Our tenant farmers here are all honest, and they send their harvest to the Liu family every year, but their family has a big business. Take this into consideration.

And the land here is also very good, the annual harvest, in addition to paying taxes, can also have some income. "
