Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 50, Two Great Families

After all, it is the white bread that their family misses so much. The oily meat bun is full of meat oil when you bite into it. It's all in the mouth, there's no time to talk.

Qiao Cheng ate three big and thick white flour meat buns, one chicken leg and two bowls of millet porridge. Even Huazi ate a meat bun and a bowl of porridge.

Although they ate all the delicious food a few days ago, today they ate all the delicious food. The children and adults looked at the remaining buns, wanting to eat them but couldn't.

Xiao Qing didn't eat much, she ate some roast chicken and some porridge, and tasted the taste of white bread. The taste of white bread was not bad, but she didn't eat much, trying to control her diet.

After the family had eaten and rested for a while, the children all got up and ran to play. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Qin cleaned up the dishes and cleared the table.

Xiao Qing touched the bulging money in her pocket, more than 100 taels of silver, thinking about what to do later, seeing Zhou Shi and Qiao Yu had packed the table and was about to come out, she pointed to the bench beside her to let them sit down .

Sitting across from Mother, Mrs. Zhou asked curiously: "Mother, I didn't see how much you ate just now, do you want to eat?"

Xiao Qing shook her head with a smile: "No, Xiao Chengniang, when she was just having dinner, she suddenly thought of Qiao Hong, Qiao Fang, and Dajing, thinking that if they could eat these meals at home together, our family would definitely be happier. I'm happy, so I can't eat it."

Mrs. Zhou bowed her head as soon as she heard the Dajing. Since Dajing entered the prison, she has been there three times in a few years. Because the family has no money or food, when they arrive at the gate of the prison, they will not let them in. There is no food at home, so she went. She couldn't bring anything to Dajing, but fortunately she didn't go, thinking about earning money in the past few days, and looking for an opportunity to go to the county town to see Dajing.

"Mother, why did you suddenly think of them?" She forced a smile and asked.

Xiao Qing couldn't laugh anymore, she thought about it day and night, although the original owner was not in jail because of the original owner, but the two children were.

If she didn't bring these three back, she seemed to have something to do, and she kept panicking.

Seeing Zhou and Qiao Yu lowering their heads, she asked gently: "Mother was deceived by lard back then, and she didn't know right from wrong when she saw money. Now that I think about it, Mother regrets it very much!"

Zhou: "..."

Qiao Yu: "..."

Xiao Qing sighed and said: "Mother sent Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang to Ren Yazi. I remember that two big families hired them away. Mother wanted to know which two big families they went to. Mother thought, in a few days, let's go to Ren Yazi in the county and ask how much money it will cost to redeem the deed of sale for the two of them, and how much the rich family will be willing to let them go!"

At that time, the original owner was thinking about selling the two of them. When she heard that the two children had been sent to a rich family, and they gave them a lot of money, she was thinking about how much money she had, but she forgot to ask the family name and family name of the two families. address.

In the memory of the original owner, the Zhou family was a nice person, and she had secretly visited Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang before, so she must know which two they went to.

It's easy for Ren Yazi, as long as the money is enough, they can return the deed of sale to her, but if the two wealthy families refuse to let her go, it will be a bit troublesome.

Qiao Yu turned her head and was very happy to hear that Mother wanted to redeem her sister and brother. She whispered, "Mother, Xiaoyu knows something about my sister and brother."

Xiao Qing smiled: "Then tell your mother, where is Qiao Fang and Qiao Hong?"

Qiao Yu thought back: "Mother, I heard from my sister that she lives in the richest family in the county. When my sister-in-law and I went to visit her, she secretly gave me and Qiao Cheng some bran cakes. Their family seems to have the same surname. pool..."

Hearing the surname Chi, Xiao Qing sat up straight at once. There is only one big family in the Chi family in the county, and that is the family of Jingyuan Hou Chi Xiangheng.

The largest restaurant in the county belongs to the Chi family. Their family is extremely wealthy. Thirty percent of the food town of more than [-] people in Yaoshan County falls into the pocket of the Chi family. There are countless gold and silver jewels in the family. Silk and satin, endless white flour and white rice, and even their servants ate coarse flour pancakes.

Marquis Jingyuan was serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War in Shangjing in his early years. How did he get the title? her imagination.

But Qiao Fang actually ate bran cakes in the Jingyuan Hou's Mansion, which shows how lowly she lived there, perhaps not as good as a rough envoy in the Yefang.

But this is also a good thing, as long as Qiao Fang's status is dispensable in Jingyuanhou, then she will be able to redeem it better.

Xiao Qing thought about Qiao Hong: "What about Qiao Hong? Where did he go?"

Mrs. Zhou lowered her head and sighed: "Mother, Qiao Hong was bought by Li Guan's family, who was the former head of the county government office."

Xiao Qing racked his brains to think, who is Mr. Li?Why hasn't she heard of it!The memory of the original owner is only Qiao's inn, Chi's house in Hou's house, Sun's house in Juntong, Pang's house in Fu Yin, and Qian's in Bo's house.

"Is his family rich and powerful?"

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and nodded seriously: "Mother, their family has been in charge of the county government for several generations in Yaoshan County. I heard that the head of the Yaoshan county government is still the son of the Li family. Who is it?" , we can’t find out.”

"The official position is not very big?" Xiao Qing searched the memory and said, no wonder the original owner's memory is not as good as Li's family, and their family's financial resources have not reached the original owner's memory.

Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth in surprise: "Mother, their family is the master bookkeeper for generations. This is not comparable to other families! The family is either a scholar or a scholar, and everyone in the family is a scholar. Respect."

Xiao Qing nodded understandingly. The masters of generations have already had a good family background. In ancient times, scholars were highly valued. Scholars did not have to kneel when they met officials. Only the idea of ​​high reading is deeply rooted in the bones of the common people, so scholars think highly of them.

"It sounds like a family of scholars, it's really good!"

Qiao Fang and Qiao Hong who were bought by these two families didn't know about their situation, and she couldn't ask Zhou Shi and Qiao Yu too much. It was she who single-handedly made the children into slaves and servants, and she could only tell when she brought them back that day.

The inquiries are almost done. After dinner, Xiao Qing still wants to go for a walk. There are not many steps in the Xiaochao system. In the afternoon, he has to grind cornel. When he gets up, he can get more chili powder noodles. Now, she can make this business bigger as soon as possible.

"Little Chengniang, make that cloth into clothes for the children as soon as possible, and I'll go for a walk!" Xiao Qing got up and ordered.

Mrs. Zhou also stood up, "Okay, then I'll measure you later."

Xiao Qing shook his hands and hummed, then turned towards the back of the house.
