Gu Yunxi was always worried. Chen Ziming's presence was a potential danger to their family.

She was going to the town to find out. Li Da Niu was already in jail. What kind of punishment did Chen Ziming get?

However, when she went to town the next day and gave a handful of copper coins to beggars on the street and asked them to inquire, she did not get the information she wanted.

I only found out that Chen Ziming left Jihu Town and was said to have gone to the capital to join relatives.

Gu Yun was so angry that he gritted his teeth. It was the capital again, and the Chen family relied on their relative who was an official in the capital. Even the people in the town's government office couldn't do anything to them.

This era is really unfair.

It seems that only when you become stronger can you no longer be bullied by others.

The Lu family's life has been peaceful for a month, and the new year is approaching.

This is Gu Yunxi's first Spring Festival here. She is very happy and busy with He's family to prepare New Year's goods.

In the past few days, Gu Yunxi picked the honeysuckle in the space several times, as well as some other medicinal materials, and sold them all to the space system, earning hundreds of taels of silver.

She is not short of money now. Seeing that every time her family goes to town, they have to walk for an hour or two, which is very hard, so she is thinking about buying a carriage.

On this day, Gu Yunxi, Father Lu, and three other people from the He family went to the carriage shop.

Gu Yunxi doesn't understand horses or cars, but Father Lu does.

He took a fancy to a strong black horse at a glance. Seeing this, the owner of the horse seller hurriedly came up to meet him.

"Oh, brother, you really have a good eye. This is our best horse. It only costs thirty taels of silver and a carriage is also included."

Three...thirty taels of silver? Father Lu was stunned, why are these horses and carriages so expensive?

Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount of money. The only income the family has now is Gu Yunxi's painting, which is only three taels of silver a month.

Although they still have some savings, the Lu family can't afford thirty taels of silver.

Father Lu asked cautiously: "Is there any cheaper one?"

The horse seller saw the expression on Father Lu's face and understood. He said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, they are available at any price. I will show you."

Several people circled around the carriage and horse again.

There are indeed cheap ones, which only cost a dozen taels of silver. However, either the horses are sick, they are very old, or they are too small or too thin.

In short, after looking around, Father Lu didn't like any of the others except the first one.

The horse seller said, "Brother, why don't you just buy the first horse?"

Father Lu waved his hand, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "It's not that we don't want to buy it, it's just that your price is too expensive and we don't have so much money."

When the horse seller heard this, he felt distressed and sighed repeatedly.

"Brother, that horse is indeed a good horse. You will definitely not suffer any loss if you buy it back."

"In this case, if you sincerely want to buy it, can I make it cheaper for you?"

Gu Yunxi originally thought that if Father Lu really liked the horse at the beginning, he would buy it for thirty taels.

Now that I heard the horse seller say this, I wanted to buy it even more.

She followed the words and said, "Just tell me the number, and we'll see if we can buy it."

When Father Lu and Mr. He heard this, they pulled Gu Yunxi over and whispered, "Yunxi, don't be impulsive. Our family doesn't have so much money."

Gu Yunxi thought they were going to say something, but it turned out they were worried about money.

She smiled and said: "Dad, Mom, I still have some money here, let's use it first. Our family really needs a carriage now. If you want to buy one, buy a better one."

When Father Lu and Mr. He heard this, they agreed with the purchase, but they still felt bad about having to ask Yunxi to pay for their personal money.

"Dad, Mom, we are all one family, so don't divide what's yours and what's mine."

After several people finished discussing it, the horse seller gritted his teeth, glanced at the horse again, and said, "The minimum is twenty-seven taels of silver."

"For twenty-five taels, we bought it." Gu Yunxi continued to bargain.

The horse seller really didn't expect that the little daughter-in-law in front of him could bargain better than her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

In the end, the two parties bargained for a while and finally bought the horse and carriage for twenty-six taels.

Father Lu had never driven a carriage before, so the horse seller taught him carefully several times. When Father Lu finally became proficient in driving a carriage, the few of them got on the carriage and left.

However, Father Lu did not dare to drive directly on the streets of the town.

It wasn't until they left the town gate that Father Lu asked Gu Yunxi and He to sit in the carriage and drive the carriage back to the village.

Along the way, the horse ran smoothly and returned to the village smoothly. When the villagers saw the carriage, they thought some relatives were coming.

When they saw Father Lu in front of the carriage, someone shouted: "Uncle Lu, is this a rental carriage for your family? Isn't it cheap to rent a carriage?"

No one thought about whether they bought the carriage. After all, there were dozens of carriages and a radius of dozens of miles. Only landlords had carriages.

Father Lu was in a good mood and responded with a smile: "This is the carriage our family just bought."

When the villagers heard this, they were instantly envious.

The Lu family is actually so rich. They built a house before, and now they also bought a carriage. This is the first time they have lived in this country.

"Hey, Uncle Lu, what does it feel like to ride in a carriage?"

"I have never ridden in a carriage in my life! If I could ride in it once, I would be satisfied even if I died."

After hearing the villagers' comments, Father Lu just continued to laugh and slowly drove his horse home.

When he arrived at home, Lu Jianan was so excited when he saw the carriage that he hurriedly asked Father Lu to carry him up.

While it was still early, Father Lu called Mr. He over and planned to build a stable next to the vegetable garden at the back door.

Otherwise, it is very cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the horse cannot just be tied outside the door.

And we have to find a place to put the carriage, which would be terrible if it snows.

Lu Qingqing also ran out to help, first digging the foundation with a hoe, and then planting the remaining wooden piles from the previous house.

Father Lu started making adobe bricks again, and several people worked until dark. The stable was built to half the height of the wall.

The next day, several people took over again. The entire stable was not very high, and was about a head taller than Father Lu.

The roof of the stable was covered with hay, and an oilcloth was spread on top of the hay, and some wooden stakes and bricks were placed on top of the oilcloth.

Thick layers of hay were laid on the ground, and just like that, a simple stable was built.

After finishing the work in the stable, Gu Yunxi was completely free.

She thought about it, the New Year's Eve was getting closer and closer, but the old Gu family still didn't come to take Gu Yunle back, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

If it weren't for the custom here, where a woman had to celebrate the New Year at her parents' house before she got married, she wouldn't have wanted Yun Le to go back.

These days, Yun Le is eating well in the Lu family, has grown taller, and has flesh on her face.

If I go back, I might be tortured by Mrs. Gu and Fang again!
