Yu Jingcheng said seriously: "To be honest, Yu Niang and I really don't want to leave Yaoyao, and we have saved some money over the years."
Ze County is too far away, and they don't want to travel back and forth between Yaoyao and the two places in the future.
The prices in Shangjing are high, and if they want to settle down, I'm afraid it won't be enough. But after selling the house and land in Ze County, it is estimated that it will be enough.
"I have the strength and ability, so I don't have to worry about not being able to support my family. "
Living in the Gu family for a long time is not a big deal.
Gu Fu Ju: "Yes, I think you and sister-in-law will be uncomfortable, and I told
my wife the same thing." He took out the deed from his sleeve, handed it over, and said softly: "Don't be polite with your family. We have several houses in Shangjing. How can I let you buy more? Brother Yu, don't refuse. I have taken a special look. Among them, this house is the closest to our mansion and the location is also good. It will be convenient and comfortable for the children to live in the two places in the future."
Yu Jingcheng was about to say no.
But he is not a person who cannot adapt.
If Gu Fuju wants to give, he will just accept it.
Why bother?
But there is no need to be soft-hearted.
His things are Yaoyao's, right?
With the money saved from buying the house, he can buy jewelry for Yaoyao when he has more money.
————
Yaoyao is lying in front of the new jewelry counter looking at the pearls. She
looks left and right, and then uses the bronze mirror to look at her own face.
She sighed.
The shopkeeper had just finished entertaining the previous guests and came over: "Little guest, have you chosen?"
Yaoyao was very melancholy: "None of them are worthy of me."
The shopkeeper wanted to say that it was bullshit, but when he saw what Yaoyao was wearing and what she wore on her head, he found that it was indeed more exquisite than the ones in her shop.
Yaoyao's eyes were black and round, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and her future elegance could be vaguely seen. She held her chin: "Don't look at it anymore. It's not bought from your shop."
Shopkeeper: ???
Then why don't you buy it there!
Yaoyao: "Isn't it obvious enough?"
She said earnestly: "I'm urging you to be more motivated."
How can you be the same as her.
Yaoyao: "What if you go bankrupt?"
Shopkeeper? ?
Why are you cursing!
Shopkeeper: "But...but you don't buy it, will it affect you?"
Yaoyao: "Yes."
Shopkeeper: ? ?
Yaoyao said seriously: "I just like to worry about things."
Just at this time, there was a commotion outside, and there were faint cries.
The shopkeeper was about to chase out to see, but with a whoosh, the little shadow jumped out.
"I'm not!"
"Sir, I'm not Wei Qintian, that's my cousin. My name is Wei Shen, and I'm not old enough to be conscripted."
At the gate of the yamen, a thin young man was kneeling helplessly in front of the constable who was enthroned.
He didn't care about the pain, and kept knocking his head, knocking blood.
"Sir, please let me go."
Soon, his ears were twisted tightly by the mean old lady Wei.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"How dare you, kid, lie to the officials just to avoid going to the war?"
Old lady Wei wanted to block the mouth of this little beast!
She only had the first wife in her eyes.
If Wei Shen didn't take the place of the first wife's grandson to enlist in the army, if something happened to Qintian, how would she live!
Although Wei Shen was also his grandson, his fingers were not the same length.
What's more, Wei Shen was never sweet-talking. He would talk back to her every now and then for his angry parents and sister.
Yaoyao was small and struggled to push through the crowd, watching the young man push away old lady Wei like a wolf cub.
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
He grabbed the corner of the constable's clothes tightly as if he was holding a life-saving straw.
"If you don't believe me, just go and ask. I live in Xilin Village, and the head of the village will be able to testify for me."
"Shut up!"
The couple from the first wife of the Wei family came together, looking gloomy.
Wei Shoucai grabbed Wei Shen's arm. After all, he was doing manual labor, so he lifted Wei Shen up.
"You little bastard, why are you pretending to be miserable?"
"If you are not Qintian, who are you? You are the child of me and your mother, how can you be wrong? Dad knows you are cunning, but how can you say such nonsense?"
Zhuang Mei pretended to be pretentious and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.
"I know you blame me and your father for being incompetent. But child, you have to understand your family. Our family is poor and we really can't afford to pay the service fee to be exempted from conscription."
"Take good care of yourself in the future. Dad and mom will also think about you every day."
What a loving mother's behavior.
"This child is ignorant and makes the adults laugh at him. I bought some wine on the way here. Share it with you. As his mother, I ask you to take care of Qintian."
Along with the wine, there was also a flat purse.
There were more than a dozen copper coins in it.
The constable just glanced at Wei Shen calmly, without much emotion in his eyes, and accepted the purse.
He did not ask any more questions, but quickly registered the name on the list, looked down at Wei Shen, and called the constable behind him.
"Okay, there is no mistake in the identity, bring the person in quickly."
Some people in the crowd watched the fun, and some blamed Wei Shen.
"You are so ignorant!"
"Your parents raised you so big, and they don't ask you to take care of them in their old age, but you can't be so willful."
"You even pushed his grandma, you can see that you are used to being wild."
Wei Shen's eyes were red: "No, I really am not."
But no one believed him.
He was at a loss and panic.
There were also people in the crowd who doubted the truth.
In recent years, there are many tricks in conscription. As long as the number of people matches, the officials are willing to turn a blind eye to it.
A dozen copper coins are not much.
But what if there are hundreds or thousands of Wei Shen?
This is the government office, and no one dared to say anything.
The knife-wielding constable stepped forward and directly pushed Wei Shen onto the simple carriage parked not far away.
It was full of conscription people.
Every day, people had to be sent back and forth to the concentration camp.
He said to the driver: "It's full, let's go."
The driver responded and pulled the reins.
Yaoyao saw the police officer accepting bribes, and then saw the ugly faces of the Wei family members who succeeded, and was about to run over.
But after running a few steps forward, she was quickly picked up from behind.
Yaoyao flew into the air, and her legs kicked twice in the air.
She turned back in surprise and met Gu Fuju's smiling eyes.
Gu Fuju fiddled with the jade pendant on her waist: "Do you still remember me?" Yaoyao
looked at the jade pendant and then at Gu Fuju.
Yu Niang often mentioned it in front of her.
——"Our Yaoyao is lucky. You have what others don't have, and you have double what others have. Therefore, Yaoyao has two fathers and mothers who love her."
The people behind Gu Fuju took down all the police officers, and intercepted dozens of carriages in front.
Gu Fuju: "Dare to falsify the conscription list is deceiving the emperor, and it is a capital crime!"
He ordered: "Go and check."
The police officers are used to being arrogant.
What's more, the county magistrate is behind them.
The magistrate took all the big money.
"Who are you? You can make the decision in Ze County!"
That was it.
"A Lang!"
Hui Niang looked haggard, and hurried over. Her shoes had been worn out for a long time, and her body was staggering. I don't know how hard it was for her to chase all the way to Ze County.
Seeing her, the faces of several people in the Wei family changed.
The constable was controlled by Gu Fuju's men. Wei Shen jumped off the carriage and ran towards Hui Niang.
"A Lang!"
Hui Niang's face was pale, and she hugged her son tightly. The stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
"Mother is here, don't be afraid, mother is here."
She was in tears, and she turned back suddenly in the middle of crying. She was always weak, and said hatefully.
"Mother-in-law sent Shouzhong away and asked him to work for others, and then let my A Lang go to die instead of the eldest grandson of the first house?"
Gu Fuju saw this and said, "This matter will be reported to the court."
He glanced at Uncle Yan behind him.
Uncle Yan walked towards Hui Niang: "Come with me to record the confession. If what you said is correct, you can take the child back."
Gu Fuju was about to speak harshly, but was afraid of scaring Yaoyao, so he changed his tone to cold: "Let the magistrate of Ze County come out to see me."
As he said that, Gu Fuju sent Yaoyao to Jiashan's arms.
"Madam, hug her."
Jiashan was very nervous. She was as stiff as a puppet. Her arms were loosely wrapped around her, and her fingertips did not dare to touch the soft ball.
In particular, Yaoyao's clear eyes looked straight at her.
He did not dare to use force, but was afraid of dropping her.
Gu Fuju did not let go, because although the girl was still a small and soft ball, she was also nine years old.
He was afraid that Jiashan could not hold her.
Yaoyao was very puzzled.
She felt a little uncomfortable and twisted her little body.
Finally, she seemed helpless.
She grabbed one of Jiashan's fingers and pulled it to herself.
Jiashan was startled, and he lowered his breath, letting the little hand lead him, and slowly tightened his arms, and saw her hugging him tightly.
Yaoyao's voice was soft and crisp.
"Do you understand?"
