On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times
Chapter 212 Moving reinforcements 9
Old Man Xiao nodded repeatedly: "San'er is right. Now our family has a lot of eyesight, so let's bury the money first."
Wu asked anxiously: "Third girl, what can we buy with our money then?"
She wanted to buy a shop, house, and land, but she didn't seem to have enough money.
Hey, maybe this is the trouble of having too much money?
Boss Xiao wanted to roll his eyes at them. Of course he was happy to get the windfall, but his daughter treated him like his younger brother and his family, which made him feel a little unhappy.
Then he thought that his youngest daughter was not a stingy person. Especially this year, she was particularly sensible, filial and generous. Maybe she wanted to give it to him in private?
Besides, it would definitely be better if it was in the hands of my daughter than giving them all the advantage.
Xiao Xiao kept paying attention to everyone's expressions to see if anyone wanted to usurp the throne.
No, no one wanted to kill anyone and seize the treasure, so he was secretly relieved.
Money moves people's hearts. Throughout the ages, there have been many cases where brothers, relatives and friends have turned against each other over money.
Now she was holding a large sum of silver, and she wasn't really planning to keep it. She said, "The gold I left is a bit too much, but in the future, when my brothers and sisters get married, I will pay two hundred taels of silver."
"Besides, when the world settles down, I want to buy two houses in the capital or Yuhang. In the future, whether it is for Erlang and Sanlang to study in an academy, or to buy a shop and start a small business."
"Three girls are still thoughtful and long-term." Old Man Xiao's eyes were shining, and his face with few wrinkles was full of smiles: "It's rare that you think about your family wholeheartedly. You are the great hero of our Xiao family. ah?"
Originally, the old man always felt that fallen leaves should return to their roots, but now that they have escaped, their mentality is different.
What's more, if you can really go to such a big place, everyone will learn a lot.
As for Xiao Xiao, the granddaughter, she has been clever since she was a child, but she is also playful and greedy. He never thought that if something really happened, she would be decisive enough to kill and come up with a good way to get out of danger.
Even he didn't expect that ordinary people like them could kill so many soldiers.
But none of them were seriously injured, let alone lost their lives.
This battle alone will make the people in the village more convinced of themselves.
When Mrs. Wu heard about Xiao Xiao's plan, she benefited her own family, and kept praising her with a smile on her face: "Oh my, the third girl in my family is really Hui Zhilan Xin, I really wish you were my biological child."
"We will enjoy the happiness with you from now on."
In the end, he expressed as if he was cutting flesh, "How about we not divide our money? Let's bury it together? We still don't know what the situation is outside. In case there are too many of them, we still have to take shelter in the mountains." , Carrying so much money is just a burden."
Xiao Lian deliberately joked: "Auntie, there are times when you think money is a burden?"
Wu laughed and scolded: "You damn girl, you know how to kill me!"
What can she do? She was also very desperate. All her three nieces were extremely cruel and none of them was kind. She didn't dare to scold them.
Of course, even if her nieces had not shown their ferocious side in the past, she would not have dared to embarrass them. Although her sister-in-law was usually easy to talk to, she would become cold-faced if she talked about her daughters.
And Boss Xiao felt sorry for Mrs. Liu. If he dared to make Mrs. Liu unhappy, he would let him go back to his parents' house, or starve himself twice, saying that he was just too full to make trouble.
Finally, Xiao Xiao asked his family to dig a deep pit in the woodshed and bury the two boxes of gold and silver.
As for the gold and silver jewelry, Xiao Xiao asked everyone to choose the same one.
Nowadays, men also like to wear gold and jade, jade finger rings, gold hairpins to tie their hair, gold and jade handles, and gold and jade zodiac signs around their necks. The men of the Xiao family are very pragmatic. Gold jewelry is valuable, but they can't show off, so they choose gold zodiac pendants.
Xiao Xiao also knew that some jade was more valuable than gold and silver, but unfortunately she also had poor taste, so she also chose a pair of plain gold bracelets.
Yes, that's right, everyone else chose the same thing, but Xiao Xiao was forced by the 'elders' to take more.
Old Man Xiao said very directly: "Give the rest to Xiaosan'er. If she hadn't been smart, if it had been you, we would all have to drink the northwest wind on the mountain now."
Mrs. Xiao also touched her new gold bracelet and echoed: "Yes, the rest will be reserved for the third girl to wear. She is too plainly dressed and needs to dress up properly."
Boss Xiao is very pleased with his daughters: "My parents are right."
Daughters are filial to their mothers. With these jewelry in San'er's hands, the mother and daughter will definitely have a share.
Mrs. Liu touched the golden hairpin that Boss Xiao had chosen for her, and looked at her daughters with relief without saying anything.
Xiao Laoer also scratched his head and smiled honestly: "It's right to give it to San'er. It's us who benefit from it."
Even Mrs. Wu rarely praises others willingly: "Our family is able to survive until now thanks to San'er. Even if she gets everything, she deserves it."
When the Xiao family, who had made an unexpected fortune, were about to go to bed, three puppies started barking outside, and then they remembered the knock on the door.
"Who will come at this time?" After Boss Xiao finished speaking, he naturally called Xiao Erlang: "Go and ask clearly before opening the door."
Xiao Erlang also picked up a knife and went out. Hearing Li Zheng's voice outside, he opened the door and saw two uncles holding torches to light up.
Xiao Erlang panicked: "What? Is someone coming again?"
"No," Li Zheng swallowed, rubbed his hands and asked, "A few people were slightly injured, and some had fever. I would like to ask if you have any medicine at home?"
Medicinal materials are considered expensive consumables. If they usually have a fever or feel uncomfortable, they can carry it by themselves if they can handle it, or they can eat some local recipes passed down by their ancestors. Very few people are willing to go to a drug store to buy medicine.
A trip to the drug store can cost you half a penny and almost half a month of work in vain. Who would be willing to do that?
But the Xiao family was different. I heard that they saved the young master of Huichun Hall and had money, so they were willing to spend money.
Xiao Erlang welcomed them in: "You have to ask my aunt and them about the medicinal materials at home."
After hearing their purpose, Boss Xiao glanced at Xiao Xiao subconsciously.
He is a selfish person to begin with. If he doesn't have many medicinal materials, he will definitely not want to give them to others.
In this situation, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy medicinal materials.
Since their escape, the Xiao family has understood the value of medicinal materials and food, so the family has never been short of them.
Especially now that the family has some spare money, there is no shortage of medicinal materials.
The Lin sisters are literate and attentive, and Mr. Jiang is willing to give them some advice when he comes over on weekdays. Therefore, the Lin sisters know a little bit about pharmacology.
Xiao Xiao stood up and said, "Xuan'er, give me some medicine to remove the cold."
