"Of course. If you can buy land in the village at this price, it will be the best deal. My family doesn't want to buy the Qian family's land because I simply don't want to have anything to do with them. There is no need for you to be taboo."

He Jiuniang smiled and looked at Yu and Qin.

Ms. Yu also said: "Yes, don't take advantage of the bastard! You can't miss such a good opportunity. Do you two plan to split it equally?"

"No. No, no, we don’t have that much money, so my family will buy two acres of land, and my sister-in-law Qi’s family will buy one acre. When we make money next year, we will buy something else.”

Cui’er waved her hand, Although they don't have much money, they always smile when they talk. They have made a lot of money in such a short time since they came here, and they can even afford land. This is a good thing that they can't even dream of. , there is nothing to be ashamed of, and you should even be proud of it.

They could not earn this kind of money all year round in their hometown before.

He Jiuniang said: "I think you bought too little, and the Qian family probably won't sell it. Why don't you ask the rich brother and the others to buy some as a family and divide the ten acres of land? There is strength in numbers, and the Qian family will not dare to cause trouble easily in the future even if they regret it."

"I think you are right! Okay, listen to you, we will go to Brother Fugui and the others to ask Ask!”

The families they fled together made more or less money, and could buy at least one acre of land if they squeezed in.

Ms. Qi and her daughter can actually sell two or three acres of land, but they both work in garment workshops and usually don’t have time to take care of the fields. They just want to buy one acre of land for simple farming. Some food would be a guarantee, and the mother and daughter would not be too tired.

The two thanked He Jiuniang and the others, got up and left.

Mr. Yu said with emotion: "The lives of our Lu family have become easier. Our clan is considered very lucky now."

"Yes. Ah, this is all thanks to my third brother and sister! Third brother and sister, you are our lucky star!"

Speaking of this, Ms. Qin couldn't help wiping her tears. If it were her mother's side, The people are still alive and can meet them. If everyone comes to Anping Village to settle down together, they will definitely be able to live a good life, but now...

Seeing Mrs. Qin like this, Mrs. Yu felt a little sad, After all, Mrs. Qin still had a niece with her, but she knew nothing about the news from her parents' side. He Jiuniang had painted a portrait before and asked the officers and soldiers to help keep an eye on it, but there seemed to be no progress.

In fact, she has no hope, but she still feels sad when she thinks about it occasionally.

When He Jiuniang saw this, she sneaked away. The atmosphere was too depressing, so she had better not get involved.

After a period of hard work, all the sewing machines have been put to use. Each female worker has one, and the output in a day is very high.

The Lu family’s ready-made clothes do not need to be measured. According to the post-modern sizes, He Jiuniang is divided into three sizes: large, medium and small. Anyway, they are mass-produced every day, no matter how many orders there are, they can be shipped. goods.

There are also slow ones. Those high-quality exclusive customized models that require manual embroidery will take several days. Fortunately, the price of those things is expensive. Even if it takes a few days, it is still worth it. , therefore, the wages of embroiderers have always been higher than those of ordinary female workers.

Naturally, no one among the female workers dared to complain. It is now much easier for them to use sewing machines every day than before, and they earn more money. It is not too late to be happy.

Seeing the female workers working so easily, the embroiderers complained one by one. They were getting along well with the Lu family and they were more courageous. When they saw He Jiu Niang, they pestered her and asked her what she was doing. In time, I can make a machine that can embroider like a sewing machine.

He Jiuniang waved her hand. Although it was not impossible, the thing was too complicated and required power support. It was not feasible in this era.

Fortunately, embroiderers also know that this is difficult to do, so they usually just fantasize about it and don’t hold out much hope.

The Qian family is indeed short of money. After knowing that the rich people in the county offered a very low price, when they heard the price of three taels of silver offered by Cui Er and the others, they felt distressed and sold it. In an instant, I have thirty taels of silver and can live a prosperous year.

Mrs. Li has been scolding the Lu family in recent days, saying that if the Lu family had not deliberately targeted her family in this way, her family's land would not have been sold for only three taels of silver.

However, people in the village hear these words in one ear and out the other, and they will not help to criticize the Lu family.

It is even known that the Lu family is unwilling to associate with the Qian family. In order to please the Lu family, when they hear Li saying bad things about the Lu family, they will help and scold them.

Faced with this matter, the people in the village are not generally united.

The Lu family was busy working on the economy. Over in Nantai, Lou Chong, the confidant Lu Baichuan sent out half a month ago, also secretly returned and handed him the letter in his hand.

"Third Master, Miss Wei didn't say anything, she just gave me this envelope."

Hearing Lou Chong's words, Lu Baichuan's heart dropped to the lowest level. The envelope was thick and he had already guessed what was inside.

"Okay, you can go back and rest."

He smiled stiffly, sent the person away, and then opened the envelope with a heavy heart.

Sure enough, he gave it to me beforeA stack of banknotes, now half of it is returned.

The rules there are like this. After the matter is completed, you will receive the money, and if it is not completed, you will receive half. After all, they also sent people to inquire. , hard work fees are always charged.

In addition, there is a list and a letter. The content of the letter is very short, with only a few words.

There are no traces of these three people in Anzhou. They may have died on the road. Sorry.

Although it was a very short line of text, Lu Baichuan read it for a long time before coming back to his senses.

With so many people in the family, is it possible that no one survives?

Thinking of the list, he immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully. It was full of names of people with the last name Lu, and none of them were familiar to him.

Impossible, there are so many people in the Lu family, how could there be no one at all?

Could it be that they didn’t go to Anzhou at all?

Perhaps the journey was difficult and the route was changed halfway?

Yes, that’s right, that’s definitely the case!

He unconsciously increased his strength and crushed the paper in his hand into pieces.

He didn’t believe that all his family members were gone and he had to go back and look for them himself.

Things here must be brought to an end quickly.

After thinking for a while, he wrote a letter, then called one of his men in and said: "Find a way to send it to the palace and deliver it to Emperor Nantai."

He has been deploying during this period. If everything goes well, he should be able to return to Beiyan after the Chinese New Year. After that, he will take a leave of absence from King Chen to find the whereabouts of his family first.

That night, Emperor Nantai received a letter from Lu Baichuan, saying that he was willing to help him overcome his current predicament, but it would cost money.

The signature is Shunyu Gambling House.

Emperor Nantai looked at the letter and fell into deep thought, who was behind the Shunyu Gambling House.

He had doubts before, thinking that the other party was probably from Beiyan, and even the death of the prince had nothing to do with them, but there was no evidence.
