Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

When Xu Huaiyi drinks, he talks a lot, especially to people close to him. Even if you don't ask or listen, he can sing a one-man show and go to study. "Daughter-in-law, the more they don't believe in what I can do, the more I I just have to do it, don’t you just go to school and go all out, I heard that entering the martial arts academy is very fair, the conditions are very low, it doesn’t matter your identity and background, as long as you can pass the entrance exam, you will be a member of the martial arts academy.”

"It's just that the martial arts academy is a bit expensive. If you take care of food and accommodation, you have to pay twenty taels per month. Ordinary people can't afford it, but once you get in, even if you fail the martial arts examination in the future, you can still be respected now. Two eyes, this is the status difference brought about by reading.”

"I have to strive for success. I must be admitted to the martial arts academy and change the hall of our house. Otherwise, even if I have money in the future, I will not be able to buy a house in the city."

Gu Huanxi likes the big house he recently entered. In his previous life, he coveted the courtyard house with ancient charm, but he couldn't afford it. Now that the opportunity has come, he can't do whatever he wants if he has money.

I heard Xu Huaiyi continue, "Mr. Liao has a three-bedroom house in Nancheng. I heard him say that buying a house in the capital is very particular. Dongcheng is expensive, and most of the people living there are noble families with titles. Xicheng is elegant, and most of them come from scholarly families. , Farming and studying, the rich merchants in the north city choose to buy their houses there, the poor in the south city are ordinary people, but it is also the liveliest and most smoky place..."

Gu Huanxi asked, "How much money does a house in Nancheng cost?"

Xu Huaiyi stretched out three fingers and said, "Master Liao's house cost three thousand taels. This price is really not low. Living in the capital is not easy."

He was chattering, his mind getting more and more confused.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi helped him go to the bed and lay down to sleep. He didn't cause any trouble and fell asleep almost on the bed without causing any trouble.

She, her daughter, and Gu Xiaoyu slept outside, separated by a screen. Wei Ci and Wei An made bunks on the floor. As for Wei Liang, he slept in the carriage and looked after things.

A good night's sleep.

Gu Huanxi thought that she would not be able to sleep if she moved to another place. Who would want to open her eyes until dawn, with only her daughter by her side, and both her husband gone?

Wei Ci heard the commotion and walked around the screen to help her get up and freshen up. He explained in passing, "The master and the young master went out half an hour ago, saying they were going for a stroll, so you don't have to worry and don't have to wait for them to come back for breakfast." ."

Gu Huanxi agreed casually and found a thick jacket to put on. Underneath it was still a half-worn linen skirt. It was dark blue and resistant to stains and wear. It rained last night and the temperature dropped a lot. I don't know what to do with it. She thought about what they would wear when they went out, then simply pulled up her hair and inserted a wooden hairpin into it.

Nowadays, she is dressed a little more elegantly than when she first fled the famine. At least she no longer deliberately wears tattered clothes in order to keep a low profile and conform to the image of a refugee. Although her clothes are still dusty and unremarkable, they are She was clean and without patches. If she walked out with this look, she would be regarded as an ordinary local and would never be thought of as a refugee.

She had a simple breakfast and was sitting by the window reading a book leisurely. The two of them came back from a walk outside, carrying a few local snacks in their hands.

Upon entering, Xu Huaiyi shouted, "Daughter-in-law, let's not leave in a hurry. We just discussed it and sent someone to the capital to inquire about the situation."

Gu Huanxi asked in surprise, "Village Chief Xu and the others agree?"

It costs money to stay in the inn every day.

Xu Huaiyi sat across from her, took a cup of water and drank half of it, wiped his mouth and said, "I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf. Money should be spent. After running around for a month and a half, it's time to take a good breath and stay at the inn." , how much to maintain your health, who knows if you will have a place to live in the capital?"

"What about the villagers?"

"I continue to live in a big car shop. I have to squeeze into several houses. I don't have much money to spend. It rains and gets cold every autumn. Now I have to stay outside again. It's so miserable. I'm freezing. It's really not worth it."

"Then who should we send to inquire? It won't be you again, right?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "We have to go quickly. I'm not good at riding horses yet, so I asked Wei Liang to go on my behalf. The Liao family also sent a nurse, Ma Changshan. They go today, and they can be there at noon tomorrow at most." Come back quickly and let’s find out more about the resettlement policies in the capital so that we can respond as soon as possible.”

"What's your plan?"

"Try to choose a place to stay with the villagers, so that you are not easily ostracized and bullied by the locals. Then we will see if there are suitable houses in the village where we will stay. Let's buy them first to survive this winter. As for the future, I will work hard Let you live in a big house with a garden and a pond.”

Gu Huanxi was not fooled by his kind words and asked sharply, "We can buy ready-made houses, but what about the other villagers? Although they are not short of food, they probably don't have much money on hand to buy properties and fields. When they sleep on the street, do you care?"

"Ah?" Xu Huaiyi choked, his eyes wandering.

Gu Huanxi glared at him, "You have to think clearly, it is not just one family, it is the livelihood of hundreds of people. You have successfully brought them out, you can't bear to bear them for the rest of their lives, right?"

"Of course not. Hehe, wouldn't they be raised to waste?"

"Stop being careless! Let me declare first that they are indeed in trouble. We can borrow some money to help them tide over the difficulties. But they must find their own solutions for the future, and it is not our responsibility. Don't forget, you I still have to go to the martial arts academy to study, so I don’t have time to worry too much.”

Xu Huaiyi said flatteringly, "I know, don't worry, daughter-in-law, I know what's going on, why should I shoulder everything on my shoulders? I'm not stupid."

Gu Huanxi snorted, making it clear that he didn't believe this idiot.

With an innocent expression on his face, Xu Huaiyi came closer and whispered, "I have been thinking about this matter these days. Not only the villagers, but our family. What should we do to make a living in the capital? There is no absolute credibility." Before we got a backer, we must not do things that were too public and too profitable, so as not to be remembered, but we can't just sit back and rest on our laurels. If I go to study, who will make the money? I can't ask you to go out to work, right?"

Gu Huanxi wanted to go out to work, but this era did not give her such an opportunity. "If I write it, the book may be sold for some money, or I can handle the account books for the merchants. At the end of the year, the big merchants will do the accounting, which is even more... We need people in this field, and it’s also an opportunity to make money..."

Xu Huaiyi interrupted, "No, no, what have I become? A freeloader? I'm going to study and enjoy my life, and I'll let you work hard and make money in public, and I won't have to have my spine broken."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi looked at him with a half-smile, "It's only been a few days, but you already have chauvinistic tendencies?"

Xu Huaiyi quickly explained, "Daughter-in-law, you misunderstood me. I'm not afraid of embarrassment, I just feel sorry for you."

"So? What are you going to do?"

"So I thought and thought, and I felt that the most suitable plan for our family's situation is to start a small business, something that is not too inconspicuous and can support the family."

"Well, what's the business?"

"Make tofu!"
