Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 42

One hundred gold leaves, Mrs. Zhou was in a bit of a dilemma, the price was really high. The last time Father Chu confiscated thirty gold leaves, she actually had some left, but not many, only a dozen or so At least half of the gold leaves are missing. That girl Chu Chan earns three or four gold leaves every month, so she should be at Sun's place. If she convinces Zeng, maybe she can come.

This is still a lot worse.

Zhou Shi gritted her teeth and decided to pawn some of her jewellery, but these were not enough, so maybe Zeng Shi could borrow some.

Two days later, Mrs. Zhou approached Mrs. Zeng directly, and Mrs. Zeng said in a bad tone, "What's the matter with you?"

Zeng really didn't like her son as a concubine, she didn't do any work all day long, and couldn't see anyone all day long, so it might not be a good thing to find her now.

Zhou said with a smile, "Mother, I have something to discuss with you."

Zeng stared at her vigilantly, "What's the matter?"

Zhou said, "Mother, I don't know if you have heard that there is an official position for sale in Yecheng recently. Yuan Lang has always been the corps leader in Yizhou. He has skills and shouldn't be hunting at home all the time. I thought that if I could buy a job for Yuan Lang How is the officer coming back?"

Seeing that Mrs. Zeng did not say a word, Mrs. Zhou continued, "Mother, Yuan Lang is in his prime. If he really stays at home in the future, he will only waste his time. Back then he went to the military camp just to plan for a future. I hope my mother will have a good life in the future." Pass."

Zeng said in a muffled voice, "How much money do you need to buy an official?"

Seeing Zeng's heartbeat, Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, "I need a piece of gold, mother, I still have more than a dozen gold leaves on my body. If I sell my jewelry, I should be able to get five gold leaves."

Mrs. Zeng was taken aback, "Why do we need so much? One piece of gold is worth a hundred gold leaves! Where did our family get so much money!"

Zhou said, "Mother, this is still the cheapest, and the high ones cost a hundred gold, but if you really buy it, you will have more than this amount of money in the future. Mother, if you don't believe me, then after you collect enough money, you and I will be together." Shall I go to Yecheng together?"

Mrs. Zeng said, "No way, no way, I don't have so much money."

Mrs. Zhou felt a little anxious, "Mother, don't just look at your eyes. If Yuan Lang really becomes an official, you will be the official's mother when you go out. You will be majestic and majestic. You can have as much money as you want in the future..."

Mrs. Zeng was also a little moved, and Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said, "Mother, not everyone can buy an official, it depends on his personality or qualifications. Yuan Lang has been in the military camp for many years, so he has a great chance of being selected. Even if he is not selected If you choose, the gold will be returned to us in the end, don't worry, mother."

Zeng was dubious, "Don't lie to me."

Zhou said with a smile, "If mother doesn't believe it, you might as well go to Yecheng with me to have a look."

After a while, Zeng said, "Let me think about it."

When Father Chu came back in the evening, Mrs. Zeng saw his back slightly arched while carrying the prey, her heart was sore, and she thought of what Mrs. Zhou said about buying an official, and made a decision in her heart.

The next day, Mrs. Zhou went to Mrs. Zeng again, and Mrs. Zeng said, "I only have twenty gold leaves on my body, and Shuwen should have some. These days, A Yuan gave her all the money from selling prey. I will go and talk to her later. .”
