Chapter 23 Chapter 22
"Come on, put this away."

This is the first time that old man Qi has a serious face in front of Qi Baoer and speaks in such a cautious tone.

Qi Baoer took the box and opened it curiously, wondering what was worthy of the little old man's attention.

Wow ~
"Grandfather, you are so rich."

There are not many things in the box, but for their family, it is very expensive.

Two gold cakes the size of the palm of Qi Baoer, with the words HSBC Tongbao printed on them, a silver hairpin, a pair of silver bracelets with bells, a pair of silver earrings, and two silver stators worth ten taels.

There is a piece of paper at the bottom of the box.

Qi Baoer took it out and took a look, wow, there is a Zhuangzi on a hundred acres of land outside the capital.

This time, Qi Baoer raised his head and looked at the old man Qi with sparkling eyes, "Master, did our ancestors used to be high officials?"

There are Zhuangzi outside the capital.

The family business around the capital is not so easy to set up. She doesn't remember which book she read. It said that the farmland around the capital is only eligible to be owned by rich and powerful people in the capital.

The old man Qi gave Qi Baoer a blank stare, "Don't think about it, our ancestors have been farmers for generations, and have never been in any official position. I have read the genealogy countless times, and the most promising one in our family so far is your fourth uncle. "

What a beautiful thing to think about.

"Then these?"

"This happened a long time ago. Grandpa was still young at that time, and he went out to do odd jobs for a family named Ye in the next town. Ye Yuan's wife was from the capital, and she seemed to be the concubine daughter of a wealthy family. Apart from these things, A few,,,"

The old man Qi took out the silver hairpin, the silver bracelet and the pair of silver earrings, "This hairpin was given to you by your grandma when you were pregnant with your father, and it is the only valuable thing that your great grandma gave as a dowry. You should give this pair of bracelets Remember, it was your grandfather who found you in the silver building when you were full moon. This pair of earrings is specially made by your father to honor your grandma."

Speaking of which, he never gave his daughter-in-law anything. Thinking about it, he really shouldn't. When he settles down in the future, he must go get his daughter-in-law a silver bracelet to wear.

"The gold cake, 20 taels of silver, and the land deed were all entrusted to me by Mrs. Ye before she died."

Ye Yuanwai is not a thing, married girls from the capital are not treated well, concubines are one after another, and concubines who dote on their concubines and kill their wives bully their pregnant wives.

That day, the old man Qi helped deliver vegetables to the house, and saw a maid push Mrs. Ye, who was already pregnant, into the lake.

When the old man Qi rescued Mrs. Ye, there was no one around the lake. His conscience could not do anything to save people ashore and let them live or die. He risked his life and carried Mrs. Ye back to the yard.

It may be luck, or it may be that no one in the house cares about Mrs. Ye's life. The yard where Mrs. Ye lives is very remote, and he didn't meet anyone along the way.

Mrs. Ye was already fainted at that time. He wanted to leave after sending her back to the house. He was just a day laborer. Mrs. Jia's yard, that would be beaten to death with random sticks.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ye woke up at this time, and after crying for a while, she took out a purse from under the bed, saying that it was to thank him, the gold cake and silver were gifts of thanks, but there was a land deed in the purse, if he had it in his lifetime If you go to the capital, help Aunt Wen in the Qi Mansion in the capital.

She also specifically said that he didn't need to go to the capital on purpose, because she just didn't want the land deed to fall into the hands of the Ye family. Without the land deed, the Ye family would not dare to enter Beijing to occupy the village, but the Qi family also had a way to reissue it without the land deed.

At that time, Mrs. Ye saw that the situation was not going well, and she was speaking left and right, and he summed up that is probably what he meant.

Old man Qi didn't want to agree at first, but at that time a girl came back, Mrs. Ye pushed him to leave quickly, he was also scared, and ran out of Ye's mansion with his purse in his arms in a daze.

Early the next morning, he heard the news that Mrs. Ye passed away last night.

Good guy, don't run yet.

Back then it was impossible and impossible to go to Beijing to help Madam Ye fulfill her last wish, but the old man Qi always remembered that, no matter how poor his family was, he never thought of using gold cakes and silver, even if Madam Ye said it was a gift back then.

Now that he wants to escape, maybe he really wants to go to Beijing, he doesn't have to take anything with him.

"Master, I see." Qi Baoer closed the box and locked it away.

Qi Bao'er doesn't think there is anything wrong with the little old man who didn't come to Beijing back then. There is nothing wrong with the times. I heard that it takes half a year [three months] to ride a horse from Yingzhou to the capital. What's wrong with the little old man who was still working part-time at that time? ?

There is no bullock cart, and he has to walk himself to death with two legs.

Don't want the family anymore, there is still a widowed mother at home, don't you care?
It's not that you owe Mrs. Ye, but you are forced to make a last wish after saving someone. The gold cake and silver stator are not given to you. This is already a righteous person.

"Grandpa, are you leaving?"

She heard the sound of wheels crushing the floor outside the yard, and it must be that someone with cattle is ready to come and gather.

The old man Qi put away his thoughts, opened the door and poked his head out, "So it's Erniu, are you ready?"

Qi Erniu lives next to the old man Qi's house, just one door away. Like Liba, he is also a fatherless and motherless daughter-in-law. He bought it, but he has many children. His first-born daughter-in-law gave him twins. Now his daughter-in-law There is still one in the stomach.

Qi Erniu scratched his head with a silly smile, "Uncle Lu, I want to go with you, that is, my wife..."

This is an honest person, afraid that his wife's big belly will drag others down, and even more afraid that others will not let their family follow him because of his wife's big belly, and everything will be written on his face.

His daughter-in-law also stood aside and prayed, and the two five-year-old children who followed her looked at him eagerly.

Hehe, when he is the savior?
The three can't help at all and need to be taken care of. It's not a drag, he will only agree when he is free.

"Okay, but you have to take care of your family when you're on the road. Let's hurry up and wait for no one on the road."

"Hey, thank you uncle, thank you uncle."

Qi Erniu immediately knelt down to the old man with red eyes in gratitude, and the older couple behind him also knelt down with a plop.

When the old man closed the door, he beat his chest with annoyed expression, "I'll make you soft-hearted, let you soft-hearted."

Looking up, I bumped into Qi Baoer's little face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Grandpa, you are really a good person."

This family is really incomparable with the Ziba family. The Ziba family is a helper, and this family only needs one man.

But doesn't he want to take care of his own family? Pregnant women, she glanced at the window just now, and her belly is already so big that she probably won't give birth in a month or two.

The little old man told her just now that they basically rely on their legs to carry their family like this. If the journey is smooth, it will take about half a year to get out of the Acropolis.

It's not that the baby has to be born in the middle of the road, not to mention that cold children in Weizhou are easy to get sick.

What if I met Tu Min's soldiers on the way? What if I happened to have a baby at that time?

Ouch I go.
