Xie Daxia wanted to follow the cavalry. Half of the reason was that he was too idle and couldn't sit still, and the other half was because he wanted to make more money.
In the past, he wandered around the world alone, and he could get by even if he had money or not. But now that he really has no money, it is normal to go hunting in the mountains to get some food.
But it's different now. He has a daughter, and the father and daughter depend on each other. He hopes to save more money so that she can live a better life in the future. Even if she gets married, she can be prosperous and will not be beaten. My husband’s family took him lightly.
The past is like running water, long gone, so don't mention it, but in the future, he hopes that she can be stable and wealthy, and no longer be involved in those messy things.
Although the Li family promised to protect her and pay her wages, so that she would not have to worry about food and clothing, and she still had spare money to buy one or two pieces of jewelry, but he always felt that something was missing and wanted to save some for her.
Xie Sian's mood was very complicated for a moment, feeling a little sour and angry: "Okay, shut up and stop saying such sensational words."
Xie Daxia said oh and said nothing.
He quickly finished the noodles and drank the last mouthful of soup, and then said: "We are going north this time. There are a lot of furs and medicinal materials there. We bought a lot and plan to sell them. I brought some for you, and when the time comes, you can use it to make a pair of clothes to keep warm."
"There are plenty of warm clothes. In autumn, my wife sent us a lot of cotton and wool and asked us to make two clothes ourselves. I am not good at sewing, so I asked Madam Zhang to make them for me. I am still here. In the house."
Everyone else in the house made winter coats at the same time, but Xiao Sang, Xiao Pei, Xie Si'an, Sun Xiang and others were asked to get things in portions and let them make them themselves, and they could make them whatever they wanted. .
"By the way, I have some money now, so I want to buy a piece of land next to it and build two houses. Then we will move out."
Xie Si'an has already had an idea. She is used to being a loner and doesn't like living with others. There are only so many courtyards in Jingpingyuan. The courtyard she lives in now is with Grandma Zheng and Xiao Sang. , and later Sun Xiang moved in, and her life was not very pleasant.
Moreover, when Xie Daxia came back, he went to squeeze in with the guards of the house. In the past, it was just that. He was also a paid guard of the house, but now he has gone on a horse team with the two merchant brothers, so naturally it is not suitable.
And she doesn't have to wait in Jingpingyuan on weekdays. She only needs to follow her when she goes out in Suwan. Living outside is more comfortable.
"Buy a piece of land? That's okay." Xie Daxia counted the money he had. "I still have some money on hand. I will give it to you when the time comes. The merchant brothers who went out this time also said they would give me some money. I think Let’s see if we can get them to give it in advance.”
"There's no rush. It's cold in winter. I have the money to buy the land. It will take next year to build the house. I won't ask you if I don't have enough money."
Xie Daxia thought about it and thought it was feasible. Anyway, everything in his hands would be given to her in the future, so there was no need to worry about it.
"That's okay."
"Go and talk to the people around Madam. The horse team brought two boxes of good wool back to Madam. I just left them at the door. You will have someone send them over in a while. The merchant brothers are still in Guiyan City and will be back tomorrow. Talk to my wife about the things in the north."
"Leave it at the door?" Xie Si'an's mouth twitched, feeling that her biological father was really lacking in strength, "Can't you ask a guard to have someone send the things over first? If it gets soaked by the snow in a while, what will happen today? The only option is to dry it."
"Oh, then ask someone to give it away."
Xie Si'an saw that he was really tired from all the vicissitudes of life, and even when he wanted to curse, he didn't say anything. He told him to go back and rest after eating, and then turned around to deal with the aftermath.
Although he is stupid, he is his biological father after all.
Forget it.
Xie Si'an found a guard, told him about the matter, and then had the two boxes of wool opened and inspected.
The two boxes of wool didn't look like much, but they were packed in cloth bags. The wool was packed tightly, with no gaps at all. The inspection required pouring it out bit by bit, which took a long time.
After the inspection is completed, they have to be stuffed back into the cloth bag bit by bit.
Xie Si'an was getting impatient while waiting: "Okay, don't throw it back into the box. I'll put the box somewhere else. I'll just go in with two bags."
Xie Si'an is a female guard, and she often gestures with the guards in the house. It's easy to carry this weight, so the guard doesn't insist.
"Okay, you can carry it in."
So Xie Si'an walked towards the main courtyard with the bags in her left hand and her right hand. She carried the two big bags in her hands, her steps were brisk and casual, as if they had no weight.
The guards on the wall looked up for a while, then dispersed.
Ever since Xie Daxia entered the door, someone had reported to Su Wan. She was waiting now. When she saw Xie Si'an coming in with two big bags of things, she asked, "Why did you deliver it here? Where is your father?"
"He didn't remember to deliver the things. He left them at the door and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. He was really not reliable at all. I saw that he was very tired and asked him to go back and rest. Really Yes, I thought I was a young man."
Xie Si'an complained a few words and picked up the two bags in his hands, "These are sent to Madam from the merchant. The boxes are heavy. I left the boxes in the outer courtyard and they were brought directly here."
"Oh, what did you bring back?"
"It's wool. I heard that the most they brought back on this trip was wool."
Shanwu and Zhucui stepped forward to pick up the things. Xiao Sang also stepped forward, opened them and smiled: "Madam, this wool is very good. I can make a blanket or two cloaks for Madam." enough."
In fact, this winter's winter clothes, blankets and cloaks were ready before winter started. But no one can have too much of a good thing, right? Moreover, the quality of the things sent by the merchants is really quite good. Xiao Sang has been with Su Wan for so many years. I have never seen any good things before, but when I touch this hand, I can clearly see the quality.
I think these things were specially selected and sent here, which can be regarded as intentional.
Su Wan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make cloaks. I'll make just two pieces, one for me and one for your young master. It won't be in vain for them to bring them all the way back. I'll pick out some fabrics later."
"Okay, okay." Xiao Sang smiled and tied the bag again.
Su Wan asked Xie Si'an to sit down and asked someone to pour her a cup of hot tea: "How is your father's trip?"
Xie Sian said: "It's good. He looks a little tired. Just let him rest for a few days. He said that the merchant is busy unloading goods in Guiyan City and will come back to see my wife tomorrow."
"That's fine, I happen to have something to discuss with them."
