Maid, Little Lucky Wife

A group of people from the Hou family finally arrived at the place of exile. The temperature was getting lower and lower, and they had already begun to put on thick cotton clothes.

They were well prepared and did not suffer much. At least the old lady and the young master were still healthy, but they had lost a lot of weight.

When they arrive at the place, the handover of the government officials is completed, the splints are removed, and these people can survive here.

Exile at this time will not be too difficult. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can cultivate land and raise animals.

Not only the people in the Hou Mansion, but also the doctors and subordinates who were accompanying him all relaxed.

Qi Shan stepped forward and said to Master Chu and Young Master Chu.

"Master, are we going to buy a mansion? There are so many people, and they are going to live here for a long time, it's best to buy one!"

Young Master Chu nodded. They were given to them by Mo Xuan, so they didn't have to be polite. Although they belonged to the family members of the guilty ministers, the deeds of sale of these people were in his hands and had been registered with the government, so there was no need to worry.

"sorry to bother you."

"Master, you are too polite."

Brother Li and his wife helped together, together with Uncle Li and others, and started looking for a house with the money in hand.

There are many exiles here. They marry wives and have children here, forming big families.

Seeing that there is no hope of going back, these people stay here with peace of mind, and those with skills will even do some business.

The weather is cold, but the houses here are not that thick, and coal is very expensive.

These people had very few winter clothes, and their faces were all red from the cold.

Looking at the group of people who suddenly arrived, although they all wore ordinary clothes, they seemed to be relatively warm.

He was originally an exiled person, and he had some murder cases on his hands. He looked at the eyes of everyone and became more and more dangerous.

The guard drew his sword, protected everyone behind him, and looked at the crowd with a fierce look on his face.

The crowd moved for a moment, feeling a little apprehensive.

Young Master Chu gave a bitter smile. He was really being bullied by dogs in the plains. If there were no guards, he would have been robbed directly.

People here don't have to work every day. There is no hard labor. As long as they have enough to eat and drink, they don't have to go out.

That's okay, he was afraid that these women would be in danger if they showed up outside.

Soon, Uncle Li found a house and bought it directly. It was a single-family house with three courtyards. It was very large, with enough rooms. There was a kitchen and even a wing at each entrance.

The courtyards here are not particularly expensive. They are probably too expensive to afford. Most of them rent houses!

A total of 1000 taels of silver was spent. When we arrived at the place, everyone saw that although the house was a little dilapidated and leaky, there was only a little dust inside, and it was tidied up enough to live in.

All the female relatives started working together, everyone was working regardless of master or servant.

Of course, the old lady and brother didn't need to use it. They stayed in a prepared room and burned a charcoal fire.

Looking at the empty home and thinking about the scenery of her previous home, the old lady sighed. The huge gap is not acceptable to everyone.

A group of men went out to buy oxcarts and coal, and the cotton bedding was not used, thus saving a lot of money.

Coal is expensive to buy, and food is also expensive. With more people, there will naturally be more food, so you need to prepare a lot.

A total of three oxcarts were brought back, all containing grain and coal.

The weather was cold and there were not many fruits and vegetables, but there was frozen fish, which was much larger and cheaper, so I bought some.

There are wild animals here, but not much and very expensive. The food can only be improved occasionally.

Master Chu sighed. Fortunately, Mo Xuan had prepared a lot of things, and he had also made preparations in advance. With the current money, the family should be able to live together for a few years.

After being homeless for three months, my family had a meal of dumplings stuffed with fish and meat, not to mention they were quite delicious.

I bought a lot of wine, and there was a table for the master, two tables for the slaves, and a table for the maids and women. The food was lively.

The weather is too cold, Master Chu does not restrict anyone from using charcoal, as long as it is not freezing or cold, it can be used.

It won't be enough in the future. They have plenty of strength and will go out to work in a few days.

These maids, women, and slaves all came from the capital, and they were loyal enough. He didn't want to let these people feel cold.

After resting for a few days, they regained their strength and began to go out to find work. There was a county government here and the population was sparse. Talented people would be hired regardless of their status. Even the military advisers of the county government were exiled.

Master Chu and Young Master Chu are good at martial arts and have good hands. Young Master Chu is also very talented in literature. Young Master Chu found a job in the county government to manage the warehouse. It wasn't much, but he still earned two hundred coins a month.

Young Master Chu smiled bitterly. In the past, he would not be willing to pick up his two hundred papers if they were left on the ground.

Mr. Chu is a criminal, and the county magistrate heard that he was a marquis, so he did not dare to neglect him. Mr. Marquis, what if he turns over?

This person might have a grudge, so it would be better to be polite.

So Mr. Chu found a lighter job, helping to teach the government servants skills, which earned him half a tael of silver a month.

Among the others, Uncle Li found a job as a hotel housekeeper, earning 100 yuan a month, and Brother Li found a job as a kitchen helper.

Those who stay in the nursing home, others start to make money.

Everyone is in charge of their own family, no matter who makes the money, Master Chu and Young Master Chu don’t want it, let them keep it for themselves.

The maids and women also found some simple sewing and laundry work.

Even the doctor agreed to visit a pharmacy.

The most leisurely people are Mrs. Chu, the young lady and the old lady.

But there was nothing they could do. They didn’t have any skills, they didn’t know how to farm, and they couldn’t farm in this weather.

The laundry is not good and the cooking is mediocre, that's all.

This is a small county town with a small population. There are only so many jobs in total, so it’s good to find these.

It's also because these people's abilities are outstanding enough.

Gradually it stabilized, and I got used to the frequent snow here, and got used to using ice and snow to boil water.

I am used to getting up in the middle of the night to burn charcoal. Although I am not rich enough, I am much better off than most people.

The most precious thing here is actually medicinal materials. I heard from the doctor that people here are in poor health and generally suffer from frostbite and hidden diseases. Without medicine, they can only survive.

There are very few traveling businessmen here, and even a trip there is not enough labor.

There are medicinal materials in the mansion, with many styles and different effects, but they dare not take them out.

It was too easy to kill someone unknowingly here, so they had to be careful.

Even the sighing doctor would never suggest taking out medicinal materials.

They have to save their own money, and if they don't have enough, they won't buy it anywhere.

These medicinal materials may one day save lives. Not only can they not be taken out, but they cannot be told to outsiders. If they are taken away, no one can save them.

As time goes by, they will also go shopping. Although there are not many shops, there are some on both sides.

There will be a gap between the rich and the poor. There are poor people who can't take the blame, and there are rich people who don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Seeing that things have stabilized, it's time to write to the capital. Both the concubine and Xin'er should write letters to reassure them.
