On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Mrs. Chen also didn't want her son to delay getting married, so she deliberately used this to force him. She had to make him understand that he would get married sooner or later.

He was afraid that he already had a girl he liked, but that girl was from an ordinary family, and Erlang was worried that he wouldn't want to, so he didn't dare to mention it.

Now I am forcing him to get married, letting him understand that he is a very tolerant mother, and can accept even a peasant girl, so that he can confidently and boldly tell his sweetheart.

After Chen Erlang drank the medicine, he always felt bitter in his mouth. He asked the maid to make honey water for him and drank a few sips from time to time.

When Mrs. Chen said this, he happened to be drinking honey water again. When he wanted to refute, he choked on the water and kept coughing.

Mrs. Chen opened her eyes and told lies: "You kid, you are too happy to speak, aren't you?"

Chen Shu and Miss Chen next to her were secretly worried for their brother.

Although she was only twelve years old, she also understood that it was a good thing for her eldest brother to marry her aunt's niece. Aunt Wu had shown off to her aunt many times.

As for her biological brother from the same mother, she naturally hopes to marry a noble girl, so that she will not be overshadowed by her sister-in-law.

But how could the aunt let her brother marry the daughter of an ordinary family?

She almost couldn't help but wonder if it was true that everyone said that her aunt loved her second brother the most.

Then I looked at my second brother who was still pinching my neck and coughing. What should I do if I suddenly felt that my second brother was stupid?

She poured a glass of warm water and handed it over: "Second brother, drink some water and squeeze it down."

Chen Erlang pushed away the tea cup and coughed a few more times before he was finally able to speak: "Mom, even if you want to make fun of me, you can't involve this girl, right?"

Not only can she scare him, but he can also scare her back: "That girl is very fierce. If my mother marries her for her son, then we will never have peace."

He didn't know that women are fickle.

Mrs. Chen used to like peace and quiet, but now Mrs. Chen feels that it is too quiet and she wishes her aunts would make a scene. It would be best if they fight today and quarrel tomorrow.

So Mrs. Chen smiled instead: "Now the secret is revealed, right? If you didn't like her, how could you know so many things about her girl?"

Chen Erlang collapsed. He who was originally sitting on the couch fell straight back and said helplessly: "I fainted."

In front of his father, he dared to threaten himself to marry the Xiao sisters.

But in front of his mother, he doubted that he would dare to say this, fearing that she would really help him.

God knows, he doesn't want to get married at all.

The current Wu Dynasty was in turmoil. He wanted to make great achievements, so how could he be delayed by the love of his children?

Besides, what are the benefits of getting married? There are many couples who respect each other as much as ice, or couples who plot against each other, and it is not uncommon for them to turn against each other.

As far as my family is concerned, there are really not many wives, concubines, and children who get along well with each other.

Mrs. Chen couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Silly boy..."

On the other hand, the Xiao family, accompanied by Mr. Jiang, successfully moved their Xutian Village household registration to Wuning County.

As for the prepared address, they can just add it after they buy a house and settle down.

Afterwards, Mr. Jiang accompanied them to the dental shop and specifically asked Yaji for help before saying goodbye and going back.

Yaji ordered another Yaman, and after carefully asking about their requirements, he led them to see three courtyards.

Finally, I rented a house not far from Huichun Hall, which was barely a second-class house. The entrance was into a courtyard, with three main rooms, three left and right wing rooms, and five back rooms in the back.

We agreed on six taels of silver a year, signed the deed, paid one year's rent first, and got the key. Old Man Xiao felt very distressed and couldn't help but mutter: "It's really not easy to live in a big place. How much money does it cost a year?"

He did the math and felt even more distressed: "Hey, renting in the city for twenty years will cost you one hundred and twenty taels, and you can build a house in the countryside."

Xiao Xiao was very satisfied: "When we make money, we will buy this yard. Then we won't have to pay for renting a house, and grandpa won't have to worry about it."

"San'er, you really dare to think about it." Mr. Xiao took a breath when he thought that the yard cost three hundred taels of silver: "Shall we rent a house?"

"You still have to think about it, and your dream will come true." Xiao Xiao also feels in her heart that no matter which dynasty or generation, a house can only be afforded by several generations.

Fortunately, they have some ability. If they rent a small shop and buy a house, they should be able to earn enough money in two or three years.

Xiao Lian leaned into Xiao Xiao's ear and asked in a low voice: "Do you think the Chen family will still give a thank you gift?"

She has been thinking about this in her heart, hoping that the Chen family can give a lot and maybe buy the yard.

Anyway, thinking about this makes my heart feel hot.

But Xiao Xiao felt that the second sister was afraid that her thoughts would be in vain. After a moment of hesitation, she still whispered: "Second sister, for adults who have lived in the world for a long time, it is normal for others to pay or even sacrifice for them."

"Unless the person who helps them is someone of similar status to them, or someone stronger than them, they will be truly grateful."

Seeing her go from being surprised to turning pale, Xiao Xiao did not regret it.

Hundreds of years later, there will still be classes, not to mention the current dynasty where the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

That's not right, at least if the current emperor asks King Jin'an to die, King Jin'an will never listen.

After hearing what Third Sister said, Xiao Xiu understood something in her heart. Seeing Second Sister biting her lip with a pale face, she stepped forward and patted her slender shoulder to comfort her: "We are very lucky to settle here."

"Looking at the bright side, it's just like transporting things once, but I can still have more than a hundred taels of silver left to change my household registration."

Xiao Lian raised her chin: "Yes, just treat it like a shipment."

Old man Xiao took his three grandsons around and said, "There is nothing left in the house. We have to move back to the countryside."

"The back door is very old and needs to be repaired."

"There are also several houses where the tiles are broken, and we need to hire craftsmen to repair them first."

"This yard is not small, but it's a pity that there is no well."

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao said: "Let's take a walk around first. If it's not easy to carry water nearby, then ask someone to dig a well in the yard."

I was afraid that my grandfather would feel sorry for Yinzi, so he added another sentence: "What is the indispensable water and plant ash for making pancake?"

Old Man Xiao nodded stiffly: "That can't be saved."

A few people went to take a stroll nearby. The alley here is not too narrow, but if two mule carts meet, the road will be a bit crowded.

Moreover, every household in this area has a courtyard, and many of them have their courtyard doors closed. However, under the corners and at intersections, you can also see children laughing and playing, and old women sitting on the stones beside the doors picking vegetables, or Sewing and mending.

You can also see an old man playing chess, surrounded by twos and threes of old men, which seems very harmonious.
