Chapter 33



Although Zhang Zixuan never mentioned it, Jian Xiu knew that he wanted to stand up again more than anyone else.

He was so happy just sitting in the wheelchair that day.

Thinking this way, I soon arrived at the center of the village.

"Sister-in-law, wait a moment. I'll take you to the end of the village. It's inconvenient for you to carry so many things. I also want to go there to ask Brother Zixuan something." Zhang Zhiyong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jian Xiu immediately understood. He was telling himself that he would pick some plantains as well.

Because there were a lot of things, I didn't bother to be polite to Zhang Zhiyong.

"Mom is back, Mom is back."

Before Jian Xiu walked into the thatched hut, she heard the excited voices of Liutou, Qitou and Erya.

"Have you eaten yet?"

“We’re not hungry!”

Upon hearing this, Jian Xiu knew that they must not have eaten.

Saying that he is not hungry is simply because he wants to save some food.

Shaking her head helplessly, Jian Xiu had to put down what she was holding and start cooking for them.

Before that, she took advantage of their inattention and quietly hid the bow and arrow and dagger she had bought.

They must not be allowed to know these two things, otherwise, another explanation would be inevitable.

It is said that once you tell the first lie, you will need countless lies to cover it up afterwards. Jian Xiu deeply believed this.

Looking at the casually built stove in front of her, Jian Xiu just couldn't stand it.

But it doesn't matter, she will be able to get rid of this stove soon.

Now she still has more than ten taels in her hand, plus the people selling plantain, she should be able to sell it for ten or eight taels.

Besides, she also wants to go hunting in the mountains?

Taking all these into account, it should be enough to build a blue brick and tile house, right?

What's more, she has bamboo shoots in her hand?

If nothing unexpected happens, Shopkeeper Wu will come to see me tomorrow.

"Empress, have you bought new clothes for all of us?" After dinner, Liutou in the room pointed at the pile of clothes that Jian Xiu had bought and asked.

"Well, after dinner, you can all try it."

"Mom, why did you buy so many things?" Qi Tou said, looking at the things on the ground.

"These are all things we need to use and eat. I just made some money from selling things today. I can't let you go hungry forever, can I?"

When saying this, Jian Xiu naturally noticed Zhang Zixuan's gaze on her.

So he coughed lightly and asked with a smile: "Do you know how much silver I sold the pig offal recipe for today?"

"From the looks of it, you should have sold a lot, ten taels?" Zhang Zixuan said indifferently.

In fact, he didn't care how much money it was. As long as he could earn some money and keep her and the children from starving, he would be satisfied.

"That's too far off. Guess again!"

"Is it twenty taels?" Zhang Zixuan asked curiously.

At this time, he really couldn't believe it.

Seeing Zhang Zixuan like this, Jian Xiu stretched out five fingers mysteriously and said, "That's the number."

"I was so scared, I thought it was twenty taels, five taels is actually not bad, this..."

"It's fifty taels!" Jian Xiu interrupted Zhang Zixuan and said.

"What? Fifty... fifty taels?"

"Well, you can't believe it, right? But it is indeed this number. And the pork is also the same. Shopkeeper Wu also charged me the market price of 15 cents. I thought he didn't want it because it was not fresh after two days. Unexpectedly, he is a good person..."

Jian Xiu was still muttering here, but suddenly she found that Zhang Zixuan was still in the same state as before.

He looked as if he hadn't come back to his senses.

"What? You don't believe it?" Jian Xiu asked again.

After saying this, he took out the silver from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Zixuan, and said excitedly:

"Look, after I bought some things today, I still have more than ten taels. They are all here. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"I believe you, I just can't believe that we have more than ten taels... No, more than fifty taels."

"Yes, I can't believe it either. Do you think we should use the money to build a house first? Or should we send six or seven heads to the academy first?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jian Xiu finished speaking, she heard the six and seven heads in the room say at the same time:

"Mom, let's not go to the academy yet. Let's wait until the house is built at home before going to the academy."

"I also think it's better to build the house first and then send them to the college." Zhang Zixuan also added.

Now this thatched house is fine for short-term living, but it is definitely not suitable for long-term living.

Not to mention winter, even if it rains heavily, water will leak inside.

He himself didn't mind, but he was afraid that the child would suffer.

In fact, Jian Xiu also prefers to build the house first, and it is okay to wait a little longer before going to the college.

But she had a lot of ideas for the house she wanted to build, and she was not even sure if she had enough money.

"Zixuan, how much silver did it cost to build the blue brick and tile house of the village head?" Jian Xiu asked curiously.

In the whole Zhangjia Village, only the head of the village and Mr. Zhang’s families had blue brick and tile houses.

That scholar Zhang's house has only one entrance, but the house inside has five.

If she really wanted to build one, she has two sons and a daughter, and she even feels that a house with five entrances is not enough for her?

The most important thing is that this area at the end of the village belongs to her.

No need to worry about the base at all.

"It seems to be almost twenty taels! The exact amount will be best known when Zhiyong comes back with the plantain."

"Less than twenty taels? Is it that cheap?"

"Cheap?" Zhang Zixuan asked Jian Xiu with his eyes wide open.

Jian Xiu: “…” Her tone seemed a little loud.

Think about it, twenty taels of silver is something some families in Zhangjia Village cannot earn in their entire lives.

The Zhang family can afford to send their eldest son to the academy only because of the money Zhang Zixuan earned from risking his life in the escort agency.

If not, if they did not sell their land, they would not be able to afford the big head.

Thinking about it this way, the remaining ten or so taels of silver are already a huge sum of money.

"녦녦, 녦녦..."

"Master, I'm here?"

"Do you have the design draft?"

"Are you going to build a design for a house?"

"Yes."

“Yes, there is, but you have to buy it with points!”

"Can't you find it yourself?"

"I am here to share some very common knowledge, but the design draft is still better than the one in the supermarket. I guarantee that you will be satisfied when I make it."

"We have this one, right? Especially those fancy ones."

"Master, of course it's here. This supermarket belongs to me, and I'm your assistant, so naturally I can be of use at this time." He explained patiently.

"Okay then, how many points do you want for the design?"
