Chapter 385 The Children Have a Husband
"It turns out that father is partial to the second son. We are all sons, but he just can't see the benefits of us. He even deliberately gave gifts to the sixth son to pressure us to behave ourselves. Fourth son, do you think father has decided to give the throne to the second son?"
The more the third prince thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
The Fourth Prince also frowned after hearing what he said, "In this case, we have to think carefully about what to do next! We won't be able to be as cowardly as the Sixth Prince."
The Sixth Prince, who was despised by the two princes for being cowardly, was now showing off a bunch of supplements in front of Shen Tian, "Look at how good your grandmother, father, and mother are to you. They even sent so many blood swallows. The other sisters-in-law don't have the same treatment as you."
Chen Tian nodded very flatteringly, narrowing her eyes with a smile.
Seeing her happy, Murong Chen was also happy, "Have a good meal, I'll make more for you after you finish eating."
Chen Tian's smile deepened as she looked at the innocent and careless Murong Chen.
She secretly sighed that it was actually quite good to be like the Sixth Prince. The royal family was full of people with minds as sharp as a hornet's nest. Even if they were good at disguising themselves, there were people who could see through them. The Sixth Prince was so open and unrestrained that no one doubted his intentions. It was quite good to be a rich and idle person. She would not have to be caught up in the vortex of power struggle in her life.
After making up her mind, she felt much more cheerful and cheerful. "Lamei, make me a bowl of bird's nest porridge. I want to eat it."
La Mei was overjoyed, "The concubine wants to eat it, I will go and give the order right away!"
After traveling for four consecutive days, Su Chuan finally reunited with the caravan.
When Chu Heng Ximu saw the caravan, he only asked a few questions casually. He thought Su Chuan was seeking shelter from the caravan and did not think much about it.
It was not until they heard the people from the escort agency calling Su Chuan the boss that they realized how wrong they were.
When the caravan entered Lizhou, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The escort agency is in the provincial capital, but the escorts also have to help deliver the things to Shenjiazhuang in Moshi Town.
It's almost the end of the first lunar month.
The weather is freezing cold, even colder than before the Chinese New Year.
The caravan stopped outside Shen Yi's house.
Su Tai came over to open the door and quickly invited them into the house.
The two gentlemen looked around this elegant and simple farmyard without saying a word.
Su Chuan was not in a hurry to divide the money. Instead, he settled the bill of the escort agency first, sent the people from the escort agency away, and then introduced Chu Heng Xi Mu to Su Tai.
After Su Tai knew what happened to the two, she immediately went to the backyard to get two sets of clean new clothes. "Gentlemen, please go to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes. I will make some hot food for everyone. We can talk after dinner."
Su Chuan asked Su Zhan to lead them to the bathroom.
The two gentlemen were stunned for a moment when they saw the steaming bath.
Su Zhan pointed at the bottles and jars and taught them how to use them.
The two gentlemen thanked them and closed the door.
I just felt my body warming up.
Xi Mu sighed, "I didn't expect that there is something special in a farmhouse. The owner is really smart. I don't know how he did it! This pool of water is enough for three or four people to bathe."
"That's right! The dirty water can flow out by itself, so there's no need to carry water back and forth. I guess the owner of the house is a very clean person."
The two took off their dirty clothes while talking.
They had not changed this set of clothes since they started to escape. The outer coat was originally new, but after wearing it for a month, it became dirty and old and could not be worn in public.
The two of them looked at the dirty coat with pity, and then began to study the bath soap and shampoo curiously.
Chu Heng said: "Help me wash it first and see how it works."
Xi Mu did as he was told, and soon Chu Heng's dirty and lumpy hair was smoothed out by the shampoo.
Xi Mu was pleasantly surprised and delighted, "This shampoo is so good, so good, so good!"
"Hurry up and flush it for me."
The two men finally washed their hair, then took a shower and scrubbed their bodies, and then dealt with their beards. It took them nearly half an hour to finish.
When they put on new sweaters and warm coats, they finally felt like they were reborn.
All the anxiety in my heart turned into peace at this moment.
While they were bathing in the bathroom, Su Chuan and his friends talked to Su Tai about the situation in the imperial capital and divided the money.
The account book was there, and with so many people working together as a partnership, Su Tai was not worried at all. She just casually flipped through the account book and counted the money for everyone.
This time, their family got nearly 100,000 taels, and the others got at least 20,000 or 30,000 taels, which was enough for them to rest for a year.
Everyone keep the money.
Su Chuan casually mentioned Qiongzi, "I heard that the fishermen there don't have the right tools, and fishing is very risky. Many people die in the sea every year, so most people don't dare to take the risk of going out to sea. They only fish in shallow waters near the sea, and it's hard to catch big fish.
It’s not that no one has tried to take over Qiongzi in recent years, but they all failed. We made such a huge amount of money this year, and I think someone will follow suit and take the risk next year.”
Su Tai's heart tightened, and she nodded imperceptibly, "This is inevitable. Anyway, no matter how capable they are, they can't surpass us. Just focus on our business."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
After Chu Heng Xi Mu came out of the bathroom, Su Tai brought the hot rice and dishes to the table.
There was a table full of mutton, beef, chicken soup, and seafood, which left the two worldly-wise men stunned. It was so sumptuous that they didn't even dare to pick up their chopsticks.
Eat big fish, big meat and good wine.
Chu Heng couldn't help but sigh, "We have been wandering for many years, but we didn't expect to live a good life in Lizhou in the end. It's really fate!"
"Really? I'll toast to everyone." Xi Mu drank it all in one gulp.
Su Chuan said: "Gentlemen, this is Shenjia Village, and our village is Dongmen Village. Have you ever thought about returning to your old job?"
Chu Heng and Xi Mu nodded immediately.
They thought a lot along the way. The only thing about them that was worth others' attention was their talent. They also guessed what Su Chuan meant. Now that Su Chuan took the initiative to speak, they naturally agreed.
Su Chuan was overjoyed and said quickly, "It just so happens that both of our villages need gentlemen. I wonder if you two gentlemen can each choose one village to stay in? Don't worry, the conditions in our two villages are good, and the conditions we offer will definitely satisfy you two gentlemen."
Xi Mu laughed, "You should have just told us that you wanted us to educate the child. We wouldn't ask for money for saving your life. We would have stayed even if you didn't ask for a penny."
"That won't do! We are ordinary people and we won't do such things as taking advantage of others' misfortunes. Sir, do you think two taels of silver a year as a salary is appropriate? We will provide food and accommodation." Su Zhan asked impatiently.
Chu Heng was a little surprised, "Two taels of silver is too much! It's not necessary."
In their opinion, not many people in the countryside could afford two taels of silver as rent.
Su Zhan laughed and said, "Not much, not much, it's what I should do! We just hope that our children can learn some skills, money is nothing."
Su Zhan insisted, and Chu Xi and the others did not refuse any more, thinking that even if they could educate two or three children, it would not be bad to have four, five, five or six taels of silver a year.
