In the crowd, Mrs. Liu looked at the tall and strong gray horse, her eyes were hot, as if she was looking at her own things. It would be great if her Fushun could marry Xiao Ming, the Xiao family's land, the carriage, and the clear money. It's all hers.
She heard from Liu Fushun that Xiao Ming earned five taels of silver per month for medical treatment in the town. Nowadays, there are so many people coming to her for treatment, and she also treats wealthy families in the city, so she doesn't know how much money she will charge.
The money will be hers from now on. Fushun said that she will be the housekeeper of the money from now on.
His family was very prosperous. A big boss in the city took a fancy to his skills and asked him to be a master chef. Now he was paid twenty taels of silver a month. He went to work in the city a few days after the moving party.
Her Fushun was handsome, a big shopkeeper, and could earn money. With Xiao Ming, an eldest daughter who had lost her father and brother, she was more than safe.
No, she had to ask Fushun, her family, to come back and discuss it quickly, and find a matchmaker to come to her house to propose marriage. They should settle the marriage first and get married in two years. Otherwise, with the current momentum of the Xiao family, there would be many people coming to her house to propose marriage.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu was convinced that she didn't care about watching the excitement and hurried home.
Since the moving banquet, the Xiao family has been the most talked about in the village. They are talking about the Xiao family’s big house, hundreds of acres of land, the rich guests from the Xiao family, and the generosity of the Xiao family. The moving feast is rich and luxurious. They were all guessing how much money the Xiao family had.
It's just that Xiao Ming's family rarely appears in the village. They pass by and leave the village morning and night. Even the Song family doesn't walk around the village and doesn't know the gossip topics of the villagers.
"Little girl Xiao, who is this little brother?" Wang asked Xiao Ming and looked at Xia Xiaoba for a while. She saw that this man was well-dressed and well-groomed, but he didn't know if he was married or not.
"This is our distant cousin who came to see us specially." Xiao Ming introduced, having already thought of an excuse for Xia Xiaoba's origin, and put the medical book into the medicine box honestly.
"Your cousin, where did he come from?" Ms. Wang was surprised. This was the first time for the Xiao family to have relatives come here for more than two years.
"The ones from Suzhou are very far away and don't come here often." Xiao Ming said, their place is located in a remote corner of Shanxi, thousands of miles away from Suzhou.
"It's really far." Wang has never left Fucheng in his life. The farthest place he has been is Pingcheng. He has no idea where Suzhou Mansion is. Judging from his appearance and appearance, his family must be wealthy, and he is the best candidate for his son-in-law in his heart, but it is a pity that he is a little far away.
"The horse you bought at this time is so beautiful. No one in our village has ever bought a horse."
Under the complicated eyes of everyone, Xiao Ming and others returned home. Place the horse in the stable. Fortunately, when I built the house, I designed it with a stable according to the garden style, otherwise the horse would have to be tied outside.
Xiao Han and Xiao Yu circled around the little gray horse, touching here and there. Xiao Yu came up with a name for the little gray horse. Ever since he named Maomao, he fell in love with naming.
"Let's call him Xiao Hui, uncle, okay?"
"Okay." Xiao Han smiled and nodded. With his gray hair, he was called Xiao Hui appropriately.
Xia Xiaoba watched on the side and was speechless. This was the one he specially asked Fifth Brother to choose. It is a good horse with good endurance and can resist fatigue for long distances. The prince's white horse is called Ta Xue, and Fifth Brother's horse is called Zhui Feng, originally he wanted to give Xiao Hui a nice and majestic name, Xiao Hui, how corny.
The happy looks of the two made Maomao, who was lying on the ground, dissatisfied.
"Woof, woof." Maomao stood up and stared at the gray horse with a fierce look in his eyes. The ferocious look made Xiao Hui frightened, and he stood still uneasily.
"Maomao, don't bully Xiao Hui. He will drag me and my uncle to study in the town in the future." Xiao Yu shouted.
Wuwu, Maomao was dissatisfied, but she still obeyed and stopped threatening Xiao Hui, picked a pear and left.
Xia Xiaoba looked at the human-minded Maomao and was filled with envy. This wolf-dog spirit was so human-like.
Mrs. Song put the prepared fodder in the manger and added water in a separate water tank. When the little gray horse saw that there was something to eat, it happily ate it.
From then on, Xiao Hui settled down in the Xiao family's stable. He just waited for the carriage to be ready before he could go on duty.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ming got up early. When she left the room, she saw Xiao Han and Xiao Yu walking in the yard. Xiao Han was older and could stand longer, but Xiao Yu, the little bun, stood still. He was sweating profusely, but he gritted his teeth and refused to fall.
That little appearance made Xiao Ming feel heartbroken, but she did not stop him, nor did she say anything to ask him to stop and rest.
No matter what you do, persistence is the key. Only by persevering, persevering, and working hard can you achieve success. Practicing martial arts is their own choice.
Today she was going to turn all the fruits at home into fruit wine. Yesterday, she told Min Fangqi that Kong Lin had important matters and he couldn't come back from the capital, so there was no need for her to wait any longer and turn all the fruits into wine.
Xiao Han and Xiao Yu got up at midnight to practice martial arts with Xia Xiaoba. An hour and a half later, they had breakfast, and together with Xia Xiaoba, they watered three vegetable plots and two chrysanthemum plots, and finished The time was just right. Uncle Liu drove an ox cart and waited by the wooden bridge. The three of them packed their schoolbags and went to school.
Leaving Xiao Ming alone at home, Mrs. Song would come over every day to help Xiao Ming, have lunch and dinner at Xiao Ming's house, and then go home to rest.
Mrs. Song washed the wine jars at home yesterday and stacked them neatly in the yard. Now, thanks to her, she comes to help Xiao Ming take care of the house every day, keeping it in order and making Xiao Ming happy. I feel more at ease and can do my own thing.
It took another five days for Xiao Ming to make wine from apples and pears with the help of Mrs. Song, and put the wine jar together with the previous peach wine and wine. Everything was ready, just waiting for the day when the wine would be produced.
Looking at the rows of wine jars, Mrs. Song was very excited: "Girl Xiao, look how much money this is worth."
"If we sell them all, they would be worth seven or eight thousand taels."
"So many." Mrs. Song was surprised, and then she was ecstatic, but she had no intention of taking it for herself. In her heart, these all belonged to Xiao Ming and the others.
After finishing all this work, Xiao Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer had to worry about money. Each ten-kilogram wine jar contained more than four hundred jars of fruit wine. By selling it, she can earn nearly 8,000 taels of silver. In addition to the hundreds of taels she has saved at home these days, even if Xiao Han and Xiao Yu fail to achieve success in their studies and business in the future, this money can still make them The two of them lived a stable life, bought multiple properties, and collected rent to live a stable life.
She can also be a landlady here, and she can do her own thing with peace of mind, continue to specialize in her own medicine, and walk around in her spare time to appreciate the scenery and beauty of the Great Moon Dynasty.
There had always been a hidden danger in her heart, and she realized that she had come here without warning, even though she liked it here better and didn't want to go back to the lonely days of her previous life.
But everything is no match for the arrangement of fate. There is destiny in the world. If she suddenly disappears one day, the money left for Xiao Han and Xiao Yu and the hundred acres of land outside will be enough for them. Live well and be a rich man.
