A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 101 101 Casino Bets
An Chuxia hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, raised her hand and patted her on the shoulder lightly.

Gu Fangmiao raised her tear-stained face, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said with a choked voice, "He's really gone!"

Last night, the man who said he wanted to take care of her for the rest of his life just left.

Gu Fangmiao was ill, An Chuxia looked at the little girl whose face had already lost a lot of weight, and wondered if Brother Runsong would feel so distressed that he would die if he knew about it.

When Runsong left, he only took the necessary travel expenses and a change of clothes.

He left 200 taels of banknotes for Gu Fangmiao, and the remaining 100 taels for his younger brother Runsheng.

Just because Gu Fangmiao took the imperial examination more expensive.

After Gu Fangmiao recovered from her illness, she became silent a lot. Occasionally, when she was eating, she would stare at the food in her bowl in a daze.

An Chuxia sighed, and put her favorite chicken leg in the bowl.

When Brother Runsong was around, no one else could do this kind of thing.

No matter what happens, life must go on.

The men are big-hearted, and the younger brother Runsheng let it go after a few days of depression.

A few days ago, the three of them went out to see the largest gambling house in the capital, Hongsheng, betting on Chunwei's most promising candidate for the Huiyuan.

An Jinchen, who loves sisters, saw his sister's name on the betting list posted by the gambling house, and she was actually ranked last.

What is Tang Jieyuan from Luzhou Prefecture, buy one and lose three.

Zhou Jieyuan of Jingzhou City buys one and loses five...

When it was my sister's turn, she bought a bet and paid [-]. Is it plausible? !

This casino is so pessimistic about his sister's passing the Huiyuan exam, An Chuxia is the pride of An Jinchen's brother, how can he bear it.

That day An Chuxia saw her brother come back in a rage, no one paid any attention to her, she went into her room and ran out again without taking anything.

When the three of them came back, they saw An Zixi who came back behind An Jinchen, with his eyes downcast and a listless look.

After asking, I found out that An Jinchen not only took out 500 taels by himself, but went to bet on An Chuxia to win the Huiyuan this time.

Even Rang Runsong and An Zixi, who coaxed and lied, bet all the money they were carrying.

Luckily, although Runsong had bet all the 50 taels of silver that he brought with him, not to mention the silver left to him by his big brother Runsong, he himself had saved a lot of silver in recent years.

The most pitiful thing was An Zixi, who received pocket money from his cousin every month, and finally saved enough ten taels of silver because he was the youngest during the Chinese New Year.

He was also coaxed by An Jinchen to bet on it.

An Chuxia wanted to subsidize him, and thought it would be good to let him feel the disadvantages of gambling.

However, An Jinchen, the person who took the lead in gambling, was punished by his sister and not allowed to go out for three days.

The euphemistic name is to let him feel the feeling of the imperial examination students being locked in the examination hall, and see if the No.1 exam is so easy.

After being locked in a small black room for three days, An Jinchen, who was released, really realized that the imperial examination is not easy.

I also understand that he has added pressure to my sister invisibly.

I took 500 taels of silver to bet, but their brother and sister had almost half of their property.

An Jinchen regretted it endlessly!
An Chuxia just wanted to teach An Jinchen a lesson, and didn't want to make him feel depressed.

Just after she returned from visiting the farm in the suburbs of Beijing, she gave An Jinchen and the others a mission.

Let them invite the villagers near the farm to dig up the tall and strong plants with sharp thorns, and give each plant a number of copper coins.

Then plant those thorny plants around the 100-acre farm, which will not only prevent animals in the future, but also make it difficult for people to come in.

Afterwards, An Chuxia inquired about an intermediary with a good reputation, and went to tell the middleman that her request for a buyer was to be able to do farm work.

Don't want those servants who can only run errands and serve tea sold by rich people.

After more than 20 days, the middleman sent a servant to invite An Chuxia to pick someone up.

This time, the outsider showed her no longer the male servants who could only do some light work, and the maids sold by white and weak wealthy families.

It is a farmer who bought it from a poor place.

An Chuxia picked a family of stupid men and cowardly women, with a pair of children in their teens. The old man who was favored by the family sold them to a family of four traffickers in order to raise money for the imperial examination for the eldest grandson.

In the end, three families were selected, and there were some people who sold themselves because their hometowns were affected by the disaster.

A total of 200 people were selected, because the prices of adults and children, thin and strong people are different, a total of more than [-] taels of silver was spent.

These people were sent directly to Zhuangzi.

Because the deeds of sale signed by these people have been recorded by the government, from now on they are servants of An Chuxia's family.

An Chuxia saw these people kneeling on the ground waiting to listen to the training. Although she felt a little awkward in her heart, she didn't ask them to get up.

After all, she is not stupid and hypocritical to call everyone equal here.

If it is true that everyone is equal, why would she bother to take the imperial examination and start a side job in farming in Xitang Village? Wouldn't it be nice to live a leisurely life?

An Chuxia doesn't have too many demands on them, as long as they work hard here, be strict with their mouths, and don't talk about the food they grow.

If one of them speaks out everything if his mouth is loose, she will sell that person to the mine and quarry.Those who were sold there would be exhausted to death, and none of the servants escaped.

Watching these people shrinking in fear.

He also told them that after harvesting the food, they could be given enough food according to their population.

Those who can work can also receive [-] yuan a month, and children can also receive wages on a daily basis when they help out when the farming is busy.

A dozen servants heard that not only would they have enough food to eat in the future, but they would also be paid monthly wages.

Calculated in this way, it is much better than they used to plant a few acres of thin land by themselves, not having enough food and clothing in winter, and not being able to save a few pennies a year.

Finally, the first smile that was brought here appeared on his face.

They laughed, but An Chuxia couldn't laugh.

Because brother An Jinchen made a bet on impulse with the servant she bought for the farm.

Except for the huge sum of money that neither brother nor sister had ever thought of touching, there is not much money left in the family.
