On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

But after hearing what she said later, she was also moved.

Although my husband is an official in the Inspection Department, he is only a junior official from the ninth rank.

This is what she only dares to show off, but she doesn't dare to use the fur in other people's shops for nothing.

Because they are all transferred from outside, their foundation is not stable, and they are also afraid that the owners of those shops have either paid filial piety to the county magistrate, or have invited the chief clerk to drink.

It was because of corruption and bribery that my husband was sent from the prosperous city of Yuhang to the ordinary Wuning County by his boss.

I am afraid that being greedy for petty gains will harm my husband's Qingyun Road.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll take a closer look." Xiaobai thought that Da Lang was also pretty and handsome, and that the official daughter was not something they could dream about, but the concubine daughter could be something they could think about.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Aunt Wu was also discussing with her sister-in-law what the name of the banquet would be.

Mrs. Wu looked hopeful: "Can my sister post a banquet to invite Mrs. Jiang and the others to tea?"

Aunt Wu couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "It's not dark yet, and my sister-in-law is talking in her sleep."

"Forget that I am a concubine. I am not allowed to leave the back house without my wife's order."

"It's impossible for me to post a post and invite people to come and have tea, unless I'm inviting them to come and see me."

Mrs. Wu also laughed along with her: "It's all my fault for being too impatient. Sister, please don't get angry with your sister-in-law."

"It's not that there is no chance." Aunt Wu's eyes lit up: "Aunt Yang's mother-in-law's house was warmed in the past, and Aunt Yang also went out. Buy a house quickly, and then invite me to warm the house. The wife will definitely not refuse."

The more I thought about it, the happier I became: "When the time comes for your birthday, you can also come to ask my wife to let me go back to my parents' house for two days."

Even though she has been able to eat and drink freely these years, my wife will not deprive them of it.

But after staying in the backyard for a long time, she felt like a canary in a cage.

She was just looking forward to getting out for some air.

Of course, it's not like she hasn't been out before.

But the wife took them out, and it was impossible for them to hang out. It felt like they were going from one cage to another.

But even this kind of opportunity will not occur more than ten times a year.

Mrs. Wu was a little hesitant, but she didn't dare to refuse: "Then I have to urge your elder brother."

My husband wants to stay in the guest house longer and take the opportunity to socialize with wealthy businessmen, but is he not necessarily willing to move out?

But she didn't dare to make his sister unhappy.

Now I know I'm in a dilemma.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what she said, Mr. Wu hesitated and sighed: "That's okay. I'll buy the house closest to the Chen family."

Mrs. Wu was very surprised when she heard this: "Didn't your husband say you should stay longer?"

Mr. Wu looked frustrated: "Hey, when I went out this morning, Butler Wu said that he would not go out with me anymore after hanging around with me for the past few days."

But if Butler Wu doesn't accompany him, those people outside will probably suspect that County Magistrate Chen doesn't treat him well either.

He also knew in his heart that Butler Wu would definitely report to County Magistrate Chen about whom he had met.

The worry is that County Magistrate Chen is dissatisfied with his behavior.

It would be better to buy a house and move out early. If you are kicked out, you will really lose all face.

Mrs. Wu also understood the implication of his words and quickly urged: "Then if you ask Da Lang Er Lang to accompany you, you should also let them see more of the world."

In her heart, she was also looking forward to being able to go out and live. The children are all grown up and have good looks, but if they live in the Chen Mansion, Mrs. Chen will definitely not want to organize things for them. She still has to have her own house and invite people to come and go.

They were all anxious to discuss marriage, but the Xiao family was not in a hurry.

When Xiao Xiao and the others returned, the villagers couldn't help but gossip behind their backs.

Someone who was jealous of them said: "The Xiao family seems to have no shortage of money. There are not many people in our village who are willing to ride on mule carts, but their family always rides on mule carts when they come and go."

There are also those who gloat about their misfortune: "Even if they have money, they are new here and have no connections. It will be useless even if they encounter trouble."

Some people are worried about them: "The men from Xu Laosan's family will be back soon, right? I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause by then?"

Most of the people in their village were named Xu, and most of them were honest farmers.

But Xiao Xiao and the family outside were an exception.

Their family extracts oil and sells it.

Nowadays, either the rocker type oil pressing is a relatively simple way of pressing oil. It is to put sesame, rapeseed and the like into a stone mortar, and then use a long hand-held pole to shake the stone mortar so that the pestle continuously squeezes the raw materials to squeeze out the oil juice. .

Either put the oil raw materials into the grinding tank, and then push the grinding stone to rotate by hand to continuously squeeze the raw materials to squeeze out the oil juice.

Anyway, no matter what it is, the movement is a bit loud.

When business is good, their family is busy until midnight.

But their side house happens to be next to the main house that the Xiao family has bought. If they squeeze oil at night, Old Man Xu and the others will not be able to sleep at all.

The two families even got into a fight over this.

But the son of Xu Laohan's third sister was working in the government office. When he heard that someone dared to beat his uncle and cousins, he arrested the two sons of Xu Laohan's family and sent them to prison.

This frightened Old Man Xu's family.

The two families were completely at odds with each other, and the third family of Mr. Xu even intensified their efforts. Sometimes they would not press oil at night, would wake up in the middle of the night to drain the oil, and would also deliberately smash pots and walls, just to make Mr. Xu's family sleep uneasy.

Old man Xu felt that he could no longer live in the village, so he planned to go to the next town to make a living.

Fortunately, they still have some financial resources, so they don't have no capital if they want to do business.

What makes Old Han Xu's family uncomfortable is that no one dares to take over such a beautiful brick house despite their past mistakes.

It seems that the Xiao family was unlucky. On the day they arrived, Xu Laosan's third sister's son happened to be getting married and had to go early to help, so the family's oil pressing business was suspended.

And Old Man Xu also heard someone say that he came back specifically to sell all his family's fields while Xu Laosan and the others were away.

Who knew he was so lucky that he happened to meet the Xiao family who had fled and were resettled in their village.

Old man Xu was worthy of being a salesman. Looking at their clothes, he felt that the Xiao family should have some money, so he approached them and asked them if they wanted to buy a house.

He was also afraid that the villagers would tell the truth to the Xiao family, so he went around to each family and promised to give each family one penny if the house was still open.

One denarius is one hundred pennies, which can buy four kilograms of meat.

Now that the year is good, we can have enough food and clothing, but there are no holidays, and few people are willing to buy meat, which makes everyone excited.

In addition, most people in the village sympathized with Old Man Xu's family, so they all agreed to Old Man Xu's request.

Now that they see the Xiao family coming back in a mule cart, most people feel resentment in their hearts. Many people are hoping that Xu Laosan and his family can come back soon, so that there will be a lot of fun.
