A lucky wife born again from a farm family

The house Aunt Lu was talking about was the house where Mrs. Zou used to teach Zhong Cuilan and the others.

Zou Yuzhen was shocked: "Auntie is saying... the second brother is still possible, how can the eldest brother do it?"

Of the two sons Mrs. Zou gave birth to, the second was a little out of character, but the eldest had always been an old-fashioned man, and he and his sister-in-law were famously affectionate. Apart from the two maids who lived in the same room, there was no aunt in the room, let alone one. Concubine and concubine.

Aunt Lu said disdainfully: "You look serious on the face, but the more dirty you are behind your back. No matter who the bastard belongs to, it can't be the old man's."

Zou Yuzhen frowned slightly and asked, "Why is my aunt so sure?"

He always felt that his aunt was hiding something from him and not letting him know.

"Third Young Master, you don't need to dig into the details. You just need to know that whatever Auntie does is for the good of you and Fifth Young Lady." Aunt Han's words were a little forceful, but Zou Yuzhen did not dare to disobey Aunt Han.

This Aunt Han has great ideas. It is all because of Aunt Han that my aunt has been pampered for so many years.

He heard from his aunt that Mother Han seemed to have some background. She was a well-educated mother from a noble family. She had served Mrs. Hou in the past and was very powerful.

Zou Yuzhen didn't know that Aunt Lu had lied to him. Aunt Han had never served any Madam Hou. She specialized in teaching women to serve men. And Aunt Lu has been favored for many years because of the methods taught by Aunt Han.

It's just that it's hard to explain this matter clearly. If outsiders know about it, not only her, but also Brother Zhen and Sister Wan's reputation will be ruined.

"Brother Zhen, you don't have to worry about this matter. You have Auntie and Auntie Han. What you have to do now is study hard and become a scholar." Auntie Lu dreamed of Zou Yuzhen becoming famous, but she was looking forward to it. After so many years, Zou Yuzhen was still a boy and had not been admitted as a scholar.

Speaking of this, Zou Yuzhen suddenly looked at Aunt Lu and told her that he wanted to give Zou Yuwan to the prefect.

Aunt Lu was shocked when she heard this: "You want to send Sister Wan to serve the prefect? ​​How can this be done? I heard that the prefect is already in his forties, and he is going to be a concubine, while your sister is going to be the head wife."

First wife?

Zou Yuzhen sneered: "Ha~ Auntie, Sister Wan, a concubine who is an assistant official, can be a wife of a good family? If you want to marry a good official family, you can only be a concubine."

"Or marry the concubine of an official family, but the concubine of an official family is suppressed by the legitimate mother. How many years do we have to wait until my sister-in-law becomes successful?"

"Mr. Qi has abandoned us. We must find a new backer in Fucheng. The prefect is the best candidate."

Then he advised: "Auntie, don't be reluctant. After we take over the Zou family, we can make good compensation to Sister Wan."

Aunt Han is a ruthless person. When she heard this, she said to Aunt Lu: "Auntie, the Third Young Master is right. You will have to rely on the Third Young Master in the future. As for the Fifth Miss, it is good to be able to serve the magistrate. At least she is a The Palace Chief will bring more benefits to you and the Third Young Master than marrying those young boys as your first wife."

If Zou Yuwan doesn't want to be a concubine to the prefect, then she will find a man with a higher official position than the prefect and a better background than the prefect to marry. But who would like Zou Yuwan, a young man with a high official and a good family background?

After being persuaded by Zou Yuzhen and Aunt Han for a moment, Aunt Lu was moved. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Zou Yuzhen smiled: "My aunt is wise, my son will definitely be admitted to the imperial examination, and my aunt will become an old feudal prince."

…

Zou Yuzhen was scheming against his own sister, and Qin and Gu Luotian's family were sharing money with Gu Jinli's family.

Three boxes of silver and two 100-tael silver notes were placed on two large tables put together.

The several families were staring at the money and banknotes, nervous and excited at the same time. Chen's eyes were glowing green, and his saliva was almost flowing out. He kept chanting: "Get rich, get rich."

"The Lei family caravan bought 2,400 kilograms of seasoning spices from our workshop. With interest, we received 1,520 taels of silver. Excluding the cost of medicinal materials, 336 taels, and labor wages of 84 After two days, we will make a net profit of one thousand one hundred taels."

The workshop asked Mr. He Yang and others to grind spices. The easy-to-grind medicinal materials cost 20 cents per catty, and the difficult ones cost 80 cents per catty. Therefore, on average, grinding one catty of medicinal materials costs thirty-five cents.

"My family accounts for 40%, and can be divided into 440 taels of silver. The remaining 660 taels of silver will be divided equally among all the uncles' families. Each family will receive 110 taels of silver."

After Gu Jinan reported the dividends of each family, the families were very excited: "We made a hundred and ten taels just from Lei Wuye and the others, which is too much."

More than one hundred taels of silver is the life savings of ordinary farmers, and they make money from just one business.

In addition, they also have a tofu stall, white tofu, and a share of seasonings and spices sold in bulk.

"Mr. Qi took three hundred kilograms of spices. After deducting fifty-two taels of capital and wages, we made a net profit of one hundred and forty-eight taels." Gu Jinan continued to report the accounts.

Not long after, after he finished reporting the accounts, Third Grandpa said: "Except for Dashan's family, each of our families will get a dividend of 125 taels of silver tonight. Do you want a banknote or cash?"

"Cash money, my family wants cash!" Mrs. Chen was the first to shout, her voice high-pitched, almost breaking with excitement.

Gu Dewang took Gu Defa, and the two brothers squatted in the right corner of the main room with the children of several houses. Seeing his wife's excitement, he wanted to remind her that because of Sister Yumei's incident, their family was fined two hundred taels. silver.

Third Grandpa said that the two hundred taels of silver would be deducted from the workshop's dividends. Tonight's one hundred and twenty-five taels of silver, his family didn't have a penny at all.

But Gu Dewang didn't dare to say this, otherwise his mother would beat him to death.

Jin Niu from Gu Damu's family asked: "How much meat can you buy with more than one hundred taels of silver?"

Guiniu, who was not yet three years old, also asked, "How much meat?"

Jin Niu and Gui Niu were very hungry on the road. She didn't like sweets, but was only greedy for meat. She loved meat very much.

Gu Qingxi counted on his ten fingers for a while, but still couldn't figure it out: "I don't know, brother, do you know?"

Gu Qingtian smiled and said, "I can buy several thousand kilograms of meat."

"How much is several kilograms?" Jin Niu and the others still didn't understand.

Gu Qingliang, the eldest, said to them in a low voice: "You can buy a whole house of meat, piled from the floor to the rafters, enough for us to eat for several years."

"Wow~ there are so many." All the children of Gu Damu and Gu Dalin's family shouted, their eyes shining brightly. The corners of Guiniu's mouth were still watery, and she said inarticulately: "Eat Rourou, eat Rourou~"

Gu Qingtian hugged her and said: "Keep your voice down, don't disturb everyone. If the money is counted wrong, we can't buy meat."

Gu Qingtian is Gui Niu's biological brother. They and Gu Qingxi are Gu Dalin's children.

After the murderous incident, Gu Damu and Yan only had two children left, Gu Qingliang and Gu Jinniu.
