Jiang Xinian wrote the indenture contract very quickly. He originally planned to read it once, but Chen Shuxu took it directly and asked him to press his fingerprints.
He still has some trust in the Lin family, and what else can he gain now?
Qiaomei gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Brother..."
Chen Shuxu just thought she was scared, patted her head, and raised his hand to press it.
In fact, she was not afraid at all, but she didn't want to.
She didn't want to sell herself, and even less did she want to be sold to the Lin family.
She didn't know why, but she just didn't want to.
But she also understood that this was the best way out they had now.
Seeing her brother's insistence, she had no choice but to obey, but she began to feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Now that the issues between the two siblings have been resolved and the things have been purchased, the Lin family plans to continue on their journey.
It just so happened that Chen Shuxu was not interested in the Qian family's affairs, so the group continued on their journey.
Finally, half a month later, they successfully arrived at their destination, Chen'an Prefecture.
Chen'an Prefecture belongs to the central region. In the past two years, disasters have occurred in the north and south in turn, but this place has never been affected and is still as prosperous as before.
Moreover, it is obviously much warmer here than in Yongcheng Mansion, and the whole family has already changed into summer clothes.
However, although they had arrived at Chen'an Mansion, the problem became where to settle down.
In the evening, after dinner, the family sat under a tree to enjoy the cool air while discussing where they would finally settle down.
"Brother, do you have any plans? Or is there any place you want to go?"
Lin Changshu turned around and asked his elder brother Lin Changhe.
But Lin Changhe had never traveled far, and he didn't know much about Chen'an Prefecture.
"How would I know? I've never been here before!"
Zhao was also a little worried and had no idea what to do for a while. She couldn't just choose a place to settle down.
These adults don’t understand, and little Lingling understands even less, but she can ask someone who does!
"Master, Master, have you been here before? Do you know where it's good?"
Jiang Xinian was drinking tea leisurely, and when he heard her ask, he told her everything he knew.
"I've actually been here a few times. Chen'an Prefecture is very close to the capital, and is relatively more prosperous.
Chen'an Prefecture has a total of six counties and twelve districts, and its jurisdiction is quite large.
If you don't consider the imperial examination, any county would be a good place to settle down.
But if you want to take the imperial examination in the future, it is naturally better to be as close to the provincial capital as possible.
There is a Chen'an Academy in the capital of Chen'an Prefecture. It was originally opened by a Jinshi from Chen'an Prefecture after he resigned from his official position.
This Jinshi was once one of the most famous writers in the capital, so many prominent families wanted to send their children to study in the academy.
However, the academy was too small at that time, so everyone donated money and materials for its expansion.
Gradually, the Chen'an Academy grew larger and larger, attracting not only many talented teachers but also many gifted students.
Over the years, the students of Chenan Academy have always taken first place in every imperial examination, and their reputation has grown.
Therefore, if you want to take the imperial examination, Chen'an Academy is a good place to go.
If you want to settle down, the closer the better. So, it all depends on your preference."
When Lin Wen heard him talk about Chen'an Academy, his eyes immediately lit up.
For those who love reading, having a good academy is definitely the happiest thing.
Not to mention Lin Wen, even the whole family, young and old, began to feel interested.
However, the closer to the provincial capital, the higher the cost of settling down, so the Lin Changshu brothers were somewhat hesitant.
But Zhao was not worried and made the decision immediately.
"Then let's go to the provincial capital! We definitely can't afford to buy a house in the city, but we can settle down in the surrounding villages.
For the sake of the children, it's okay for us to endure a little hardship. Besides, we are not completely broke.
It would be best if there is a ready-made house by then, but if not, build one first.
If you can't build a big one, can't you build a small one? I've lived in this wilderness before, so what hardship can't I endure?
It’s not easy to build a home, so we must not be careless! "
Little Lingdang also felt particularly motivated, "Yes! Grandma is right! Little Lingdang can also make money.
My master said that my pulse diagnosis skills are getting better and better. Once I learn more, I can start treating patients and making money.
Big brother, just go study, and Xiao Lingling will make money to support you!"
The little girl spoke in a very arrogant manner, with her chin raised so high, like a proud rooster.
Zhao burst out laughing, "Ah, yes, yes! And our little Lingling. This lucky little hand goes up the mountain to dig ginseng.
Our little Lingling can support the whole family by herself, so why are you still hesitating? "
Little Bell was very pleased with her grandmother's praise and nodded, "That's right! I'm really good!"
This cocky look made the whole family burst into laughter.
Even the usually indifferent Qin Yu couldn't help laughing because of her amusements.
Sun hugged little Lingling and looked at her with admiration. Now she finally understood why Zhao loved this little girl so much.
"Old man, let's go with my second brother and his family. Lin Wen loves reading, and I think our Ping'er is the same. She always stays with Lin Wen and reads when she has nothing to do.
We have few children, and as a family, we can definitely support him if we work together. We can’t let him be a peasant like us for the rest of his life!
Lin Changhe nodded, "Okay! Let's go together! We've made it through such a difficult escape, so anything else won't be a problem!"
Once the family made the decision, they instantly felt hopeful.
This is how this family is. As long as they work together, there is no day when they can't prosper!
In the next few days, everyone worked hard to travel, and they successfully arrived at the capital of Chen'an Prefecture in just four days.
They did not go directly into the city, but took a quick walk around.
There are quite a few villages around the provincial capital. After asking around, they found that settling down in these places is not only difficult to obtain household registration, but also requires a lot of money to be paid.
Moreover, whether building a house or buying land in these places, the price is more than twice as expensive as other places.
For them, the cost is really too high, in other words, not worth it.
However, they discovered that there was a county town called Huaxiang County, part of which was almost adjacent to the provincial capital.
There are also many villages here. If you settle down here, your expenses can be reduced a lot.
And the key point is that from here, whether you go to the provincial capital or the county town, it only takes about half an hour, which is very convenient.
So the family immediately split up into two groups, and Lin Changhe took his son to visit those villages, hoping to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down.
Lin Changshu took people to the county seat of Huaxiang County to try to use his connections to get his household registration re-registered.
