Ayu returned to Jinan again, brought the nuns and eunuchs who came out of the palace to arrange for Xia Yuhe, and started her own life again, but this time, the changes in Xia's family were too great, to the extent that it had already affected the people around them. family.

For example, this time Xia Yuhe and Xia Ziwei are about to move and live in the Jinan Royal Residence, and the Xia family’s old house here is managed by the Xia family’s chief steward, the royal servants, and the Xia clan. In addition, all other contracted servants signed and returned, and some scattered silver was also given.

In this way, some people are really happy and some are worried, and those who are poor are worried about their own livelihood. After all, there will not be a lot of diversion money. It is no problem to make do with it for the past year. What about in the future?Still looking for a job?Of course, the general family is happy if they can make do with it. If you terminate the contract early, you can still get money, which is considered a benefit.

Among them, Ayu's family is the happiest family, because Ayu's work went well this time, the Xia family specially rewarded 50 taels of silver, plus the previous settlement expenses, the family is enough to buy a lot of land, or is in a hurry to buy a shop , run the tofu workshop well.This is the long-term livelihood of the family!

Ayu doesn't like to continue grinding tofu, this job is really too torturous, besides, he also has his own plan, the most important thing is this time, in order to show his appreciation for Ayu, Prince He gave Ayu another 200 taels of silver, Support his imperial examination.A complete set of necessary books for the exam was also given away, which enriched Ayu's foundation all of a sudden.

After all, he is the one who will go back sooner or later, and he has no idea of ​​hiding any private money, so when discussing the next family plan at home, he readily took out all his savings, a total of 230 taels, and proposed to buy land and become a small landlord idea.

With so much money, even Ayu's parents were a little dumbfounded. Even the most embarrassing Ayu's younger brother became excited at this time. He firmly supported Ayu's idea, and even told his parents.When I go to the countryside, I bought a house and land, and I can still open a tofu shop at home, but I sell less and only supply the market in the countryside. If I have free time to farm, my family will definitely become richer faster.

Can he not be excited!Besides Ah Yu, he is the main labor force in the tofu workshop!He has long been a little bored with this most energy-intensive job, the most tiring, the hardest and the least profitable, isn't it discouraging!Who wouldn't want to have a good way out now!

Since the two boys in the family said so, Ayu's parents also thought about it carefully. The most important thing is that Ayu analyzed the prices and so on. For example, the house here is in Jinan City. It's a bit rough and the place is a bit small, but at any rate, if the house is sold, you can still have 80 taels of silver, plus the family's savings, you will have a family property of 400 taels, and what about the countryside!It is the big village closest to the town. The two-way brick and tile house plus the vegetable field is probably only five or sixty taels. big house.

The land in the countryside can't be counted on by Shangtian, but in the case of Zhongtian, it is only six taels of silver per mu. No matter how they calculate, they can buy fifty mu of land, which is 300 taels of silver. If this is the case, they will become small landlords up?This class is different!If the family buys a cow and hires a few short-term laborers, how much income can they earn each year?In addition to my own food and drink, I can save 50 taels no matter what.Just use it, maybe you can buy ten mu more land every year!

The most important thing is that Ayu threw out his scientific research plan again, and told everyone about what he said to the prince that he stole the study, and said that the prince supported him in the scientific research, which shows that he can be promising , After my family, apart from farming, my younger brothers will also study. In a few years, my family will also become a scholar's family. Such a change is so exciting.

Not to mention Ayu's parents, even Ayu's younger brothers are all red-eyed. They are poor, but this means that they have no desire to study, no motivation to make progress, and they can raise their heads and be scholars. How could they not like it? ?Scholars, this represents the elite class of a society, and is the existence that almost all lower classes need to look up to.Now that he has such an opportunity, not to mention how much land and development his family can get, just being able to become a scholar with status is enough to make Ayu's parents and family compromise.

Because he has a very good relationship with the housekeeper and Mama Wang, and this time they took care of each other along the way. After the whole family decided to move out, Ayu went to Xia's house cautiously, bid farewell to the housekeeper and Mama Wang, and said goodbye to her family. Intend.

The housekeeper is also a thoughtful person. Hearing what Ayu said, Lian and the prince had expectations for him to study and take the scientific examination, and his heart was moved. There are not many people in the Xia family, and the few few, because the family is rich, have no How much self-motivation, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but when Xia Yuhe was about to enter the palace, after the chief steward quietly investigated the situation of other women's natal families, he was very worried. It is too low, and the family basically has no candidates who can support their master. The officials who can be found after turning a few corners are either too low in grade, or have very weak blood and distant relationships. Under such circumstances, the chief steward I feel that if I can support Ayu, if I can handle it well, I might become a good ally in the future, even if Ayu fails to climb up, at least I will have a good relationship. It's very important, the Xia family won't suffer!

With this in mind, the housekeeper not only received Ayu with a pleasant face, but also asked about Ayu's relocation plan. Hearing about Ayu's planned destination, he immediately recommended some intermediary candidates he knew, and finally even expressed , in the nearest countryside near Jinan, Xia’s family has a small village that is about to be sold in this time of rectification. It has 45 mu of land, 300 mu of which is Shangtian, [-] mu of Zhongtian, and a small three-in-one. In the yard, three of the five rooms can be used as shops. The yard is not small, and there is a vegetable field of more than one mu in the back. It is definitely a good place. The most important thing is that there is a deep well at the door of this house, and there are two acres of bamboo forest beside it. , It is definitely a good place to be able to produce bamboo shoots. The big housekeeper said that if it is given to Ayu, it only needs Ayu to pay [-] taels of silver.

Ah Yu was pleasantly surprised!If it is based on the market price, the land is 390 taels per mu, and the 100 mu of land is 500 taels, plus the house, three entry, and a one-acre vegetable garden, it will cost 300 to [-] taels, but he knows, The Xia family was able to take a fancy to the house that was accepted back then. Since it was a three-entry house, it must have a wing room, and the area would not be small.There is also Zhuyuan, the total price is more than [-] taels, and now it only costs him [-] taels, isn't it half a sale and half a gift?

But in a blink of an eye, he immediately understood what the big housekeeper meant. This was an investment in favor in advance, a gesture of favor!However, in Ayu's view, such kindness is also very grateful. After all, the Xia family is now involved with the royal family, and he can be praised like this. It can only be said that the head butler of the Xia family is really a person with long-term awareness. Of course, the tiger skin of Prince He also played a certain role.

When Ah Yu returned home with such good news, the whole family was even more shocked. They immediately realized that this was because they had taken a fancy to their boss's ability.Since everyone is so optimistic about it, what does it mean?It shows that their boss is probably really talented and learned, and the imperial examination is also very promising. In this way, their passion is completely ignited!

With the dream of becoming a farming and studying family in one fell swoop, they even thought about using the nearly 100 taels left in the family to take out 60 taels, buy another [-] acres of Zhongtian, and add up to [-] acres of land for the family, and then buy cattle for the rest. food, and then waited for Ayu's scientific research.Anyway, they moved. In addition to farming, they also grind tofu to maintain their household. When Ayu passed the exam, they turned around.

Fortunately, Ayu was still relatively calm. Thinking of the furniture problem after moving, he tried his best to let his family move first, but it was imperative to buy a cow.Why do you have to get a bullock cart to move things!

Ayu's family is really about to move, the house is also sold, and the family has officially moved from the city to the countryside, living the life of small landlords, but the family is not sixty acres of land, nor seventy acres of land, but a One hundred acres of land, because after Xia Yuhe heard about Ayu, someone sent 200 taels of silver, as well as some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. From her point of view, her original servants can have such ambitions , that was the best interpretation of their Xia family's scholarly family, nothing made her more proud of her noble family than this.

With Xia Yuhe's support, those offshoots of the Xia family, who now wholeheartedly yearn to be the emperor's relatives and relatives of the emperor, are rare and generous. Some of them are ten taels, some are fifty. Giving rewards and support to this former servant of the Xia family whom they had almost never met, made Ayu's family property soar.

After the relocation, after paying the Xia family's land price of 300 taels, the silver alone has reached 400 taels, which means that the house and the land have been given away by the Xia family for free.What a surprise!There is also this house, which is full of tight furniture, which is much better than the things in Ayu's original home. It is all oak wood, hard, strong, and good-looking. Ayu's family doesn't have to worry about buying things at home.There is not even a shortage of pots and pans. Although they are not necessarily good things, they must be the most practical.

Ayu's parents, who had spare money, naturally bought land immediately under such circumstances. If it weren't for the fact that there were only [-] mu of land left to buy, their family's land would have grown even more.

With a hundred acres of land and a new house, the tofu shop was re-opened again, and seasonal vegetables were planted in the backyard. Shed, pigsty, cowshed, everything is complete, the family is full of new hope, in good spirits, Ayu can finally start preparing for the exam with peace of mind, and even has time to educate his younger brothers.

At this time, the beggar gang sent Ayu new news about the capital.
