Tian Guihua disappeared all night. When he came back, he brought back 50 liang of silver, and Tian Dajiang got his share of the benefits.
Now he doesn't intend to live in the county yamen, but he is still eager to get the identity of the county's eldest brother, so he will try his best to come back and please Li.
Tian Guihua handed Li a cloth bag and said, "Mom, this is the fifty Liang silver that childe Zhou gave us. He knew that we were new here and knew the local conditions and customs of the county. He also told us to live a good life and asked me to buy two girls for my mother."
As soon as Li heard this, he was happy to bloom and said repeatedly, "OK, OK, the good day of our flowers is coming at last."
When she finished, she even wiped a handful of bitter tears, hugged her daughter, went back to the house and cried bitterly.
Tian Dajiang was called away by Tian Dahai. Anyway, they are also close brothers, breaking their bones and connecting tendons.
"Sit down." Tian Dahai made a gesture of invitation.
Tian Dajiang sat down and twisted his waist uneasily.
"Brother, did you get the little sister?" Tian Dahai sipped the tea ceremony.
"Ah, yes, I came back with my little sister." Tian Dajiang's eyes dodged.
Everyone knows what virtue Tian Dajiang is, so Tian Dahai doesn't believe it at all. He will find such a good mother-in-law for Tian Guihua.
"Come on, how many benefits did Mr. Zhou promise him?" Tian Dahai went straight to the point.
Tian Dajiang panicked as soon as he heard the word "benefit". The sweat on his head seeped out, and then said, "it's a little good that my sister has become the daughter-in-law of the magistrate. This benefit alone is enough. There's no need for other benefits."
Tian Dahai sneered and said, "where's Gao?"
"She ~ I don't know where she went. After she stole our mother's things, she ran away with her carriage and left me by the side of the road. Fortunately, she met childe Zhou and was saved by him. We had a good talk and wanted to tell her to be his daughter-in-law."
Tian Dajiang also cares about his feelings with Gao, so he didn't say Gao's whereabouts. However, he also blamed Gao's head for all the crimes of theft, which could not be verified.
"Is the elder brother going to come back to the Tian family this time by virtue of his younger sister?"
"Hey, fourth brother, there's nothing wrong with you at ordinary times. Don't you think so? My mother-in-law was not filial to my parents and bullied Hua'er when I wasn't at home. I don't know. She did it behind my back. If you don't believe me, I can swear that what Gao did really has nothing to do with me."
When Tian Dajiang came out of the yamen, he suddenly felt full of spring. Because of the relationship between him and his parents and siblings, he has finally been eased to a certain extent today.
Then he could finally do whatever he wanted outside in the name of the county magistrate's brother.
Li took twenty Liang silver and went out with Tian Guihua. She spent eight liang of silver and bought two well-looking little girls as servant girls. One was given to Tian Guihua and the other was kept by herself.
The rest of the money, except for some daily necessities, was less than ten liang of silver, which was all used on Tian Guihua.
"Our daughter is going to be a noble person. If she doesn't keep good, she can be the county head in the future. I saw that Qiao er's girl was hugging everywhere. Tut Tut, she was dignified. In the future, our flowers will have such pomp, and my mother still hopes to shine on you."
Li said goodbye to Tian Guihua with a sterling silver hairpin carved with a Phoenix. He also took a bronze mirror and asked her to take a picture. Then he paid for it and took her to see the cloth.
"Hey, everything else here is very cheap. Only this cloth is extremely expensive. It's all the fault of that damn bitch Gao. Bah ~"
"Mom, I'm happy. Let's not mention sister-in-law, shall we?"
Li quickly smiled and said, "OK, listen to our flowers. Let's go. My mother will take you to buy some snacks and take them back to your father and the fourth."
"Mom, in fact, my eldest brother still loves me very much. All this is the idea of my sister-in-law." Tian Guihua suddenly thought of what Tian Dajiang asked her to do before.
As soon as she thought that she was able to meet Mr. Zhou because of his relationship, she mentioned it when she saw that Li was happy.
After thinking about it, Li said, "don't pay attention to him. Your eldest brother was born to me. What kind of person he is, I have a clear mind. The woman in his family is just used to him. Alas, things have passed, and we will have a good life next."
"Yes, mom, I've already planned. Once I have a firm foothold in the Zhou family, I'll find a way to buy a house for my parents in the city. Take my parents to enjoy happiness and let you live a good life with me. Then I won't have to disturb my fourth brother here." Tian Guihua happily looks forward to a better future.
Li Shi echoed and said, "yes, at that time, you are asking childe Zhou to find a good daughter-in-law for your fourth brother. It must be better than Ma Ma, 10000 times better."
Take two girls of 13 or 14 years old back. Naturally, there is no salary. Li's unkindness can only feed them at most, which is already very good.
Even so, li felt that he was a Bodhisattva and saved two people.
"Lotus, plum blossom, you will be responsible for serving me and miss. Now we have given you a way to live, so you don't have to wait to be picked there, so you can't have any crooked thoughts."
Li Shi sat in the first place with a straight face, showing the way she used to scold her daughter-in-law when she was near the mountain village.
The two little girls timidly kowtowed to Li and Tian Guihua and said, "yes, old lady, big lady."
"Come on, you all go to take a bath. We're officials. We can't tolerate people with lice and fleas."
With that, Li arranged accommodation for them, and then continued to check the booty they bought today with Tian Guihua.
There are still a lot of empty houses in the Yamen. After all, a county yamen, according to the normal establishment, should be equipped with about 100 people.
Now the prisoners in the cell have long run away, so there are no prison guards. Tian Dahai did everything himself, so naturally he didn't want to buy people. There are still only about 20 people from the county Lord's office in the yamen, so the back yamen is slightly empty.
