On the way to escape, I found a big boss’s mother

Chapter 7 Daddy’s married wife

"Ten taels of silver, I bought it!" Chu Li took a step forward.

"I'll buy it!" The plump old man rushed forward, pushed away the thin father, looked at Jinchu and said, "Little girl, I'll pay 11 taels!"

The horse Chu Li bought was just average at first, maybe because he took good care of it, or because of Chu Li's purple luck. Now it is fat, strong, and handsome, and it looks like a good horse at first glance.

Jin Chu glanced at Chu Li and shook his head, "This old man has given you a lot, so dad will be happy."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the old man again: "The one with the highest price will get it. Grandpa, this horse and carriage are yours."

Chu Li snorted coldly: "Can you always get the money? I have cash with me!"

Chu Li was wearing a new cotton coat, and she didn't look poor at all.

When the old man heard this, he immediately took out his money and said, "Am I going to lie to children? I don't even know what kind of character I, Mr. Gu, am in Kyoto!"

The old man was afraid that Jin Chu would regret it, so he gave him the money, took the carriage and left.

The father and daughter met in an alley and then went to the vegetable market to buy supplies.

Chickens, ducks, two snow-white rabbits, rice noodles, pork, new pots, new bowls and chopsticks, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, all the belongings, it cost more than three taels in a short time.

In the evening, Chu Li fried pork belly, poured out the lard, and put it in a jar. Whenever she cooked, she would add some to the dish, which would make the dish fragrant.

"Jinchu, let's have dinner."

On the table, there was a dish of pork belly and cabbage stewed with tofu, and a dish of cold shredded potatoes. Chu Li put a bowl of rice in front of Jinchu. The bowl was filled with rare white rice and chicken drumsticks, and the aroma of oil was overflowing.

Jinchu washed his hands and picked up the bowl obediently: "I haven't eaten white rice or chicken drumsticks for a long time. I almost vomited after eating wild vegetables a few days ago. Thank you, dad, you are so kind to me!"

Jin Chu tore off half of the meat from the chicken leg and put it into Chu Li's bowl: "Daddy will eat it too."

Chu Li's cooking skills are outstanding. Ordinary ingredients will turn into delicacies with full color, flavor and flavor in her hands. Jin Chu ate two bowls of rice and touched his round belly. He narrowed his eyes happily.

At night, the two of them took a shower and changed into clean underwear. Jinchu covered her with a fluffy and soft quilt and prepared to sleep comfortably. Suddenly Chu Li asked: "Jinchu, you are so cute and lovely, family." Why did you abandon you?"

Jinchu had taken a look in the bronze mirror and found that her hair was smoother, her eyes were bigger and brighter, her lips were redder, her eyebrows were curved, her nose was straighter, and her skin was whiter.
She really didn't know how she looked different from other children.

Jinchu looked at the moonlit window: "I was abandoned by my biological parents when I was born. It was my adoptive father and mother who took me in, but they still had two younger brothers to raise, and the food at home was really not enough..."

Jinchu didn't hold anything back and told all about his life experience.

"Do you hate them?"

"Don't hate."

"Your biological parents——"

"I don't hate it either." Jin Chu took a breath of the faint cold fragrance in the air and said in a calm tone: "I have never met my biological parents, so I can't say whether I hate them or not. My adoptive parents, I thank them for raising me. I had no choice but to abandon me, and now I don’t know how they are doing. Dabao and Erbao are young, and I don’t know if they can have enough to eat.”

Chu Li was silent for a while before he chuckled and said, "Jinchu is a piece of rough jade. After being carved, it will make people shine."

"Dad, where is your family? And...your subordinates?"

Jinchu blinked. She actually wanted to ask, is the fox man actually Taishang Laojun?What is his relationship with his father?
"Those guards are from Jun Yan. He wants to win over me." Jinchu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that the fox man had some abilities.

"My parents died young. I have no brothers or sisters, but I do have a married woman."

"Ah?" Jin Chu was shocked. His father was obviously a woman, but he actually married a wife!

"What about her?" "She's dead too." Chu Li's voice became hoarse, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Jinchu has an old soul in his small body, and his body is not easy to use, but he can still stabilize his mentality.

She thought of the old scholar in the village whose mother-in-law died and married a young and beautiful widow.

"Dad, don't be sad. When Jinchu grows up, he will work hard to make money and marry you a new wife!"

"..." Chu Li's mouth twitched when she heard this.

Seeing that Chu Li was silent, Jinchu asked tentatively: "How about buying a husband?"

"Silly boy, not everything can be bought with money. A husband and wife must be in love to be in love for a hundred years."

"Oh, then Jinchu will buy you a husband you like and a new wife you like."

Hearing this, Chu Li remained silent for a long time.

Jinchu thought to herself that her father should be satisfied now. The childhood he gave her was enough to warm her for two lifetimes. She yawned and fell asleep.

The two of them got up early the next day, Chu Li cooked and Jinchu lit the fire.

At dawn, breakfast was prepared and rapeseed was planted in an open space in the small yard.

Breakfast is multi-grain porridge, pancakes and dried radish pickles, which is light and refreshing.

Chu Li rolled up her sleeves and made a circle with stones. On one side, she put branches on it and covered it with thatch to raise chickens and ducks. She also placed cages for rabbits.

At noon, the landlord's mother-in-law came to collect the rent. She took a look at the small courtyard and gave Jinchu instructions on how to raise rabbits.

In the afternoon, the two of them shared a small wooden table. Chu Li taught Jinchu how to write while she painted on the side.

Three days later, the two of them went out. Instead of going to the vegetable market, they went to the busiest street in Kyoto to set up a stall and sell paintings.

"Dad, why do you come so far to sell calligraphy and paintings?" Jinchu finished eating the wontons and wiped his mouth with a small handkerchief.

Chu Li changed into a clean gown and applied herbal juice on her face. She looked like a poor scholar recovering from a serious illness.

"There are many rich people here who have spare money to buy calligraphy and paintings."

Chu Li calmly put down pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and put up a sign: Ghostwriter's letter from home, priced at two cents.

At the end of the day, not a single calligraphy or painting was sold, but I made a lot of money by writing letters home and a few love letters with gorgeous words and sincere words.

After setting up the stall for three days, she had more and more ghostwriters, but still not a single calligraphy or painting was sold.

Jinchu felt that her father's paintings were quite good, but they were different from the paintings she had seen in ordinary times. For example, the rabbit had long ears and was wearing clothes.

Jinchu almost jumped when he saw this painting. Except for the wrong style of clothes, it was somewhat similar to the Jade Rabbit transformed into a human form.

The mouse and the cat are friends, playing and playing together, and there are men and women wearing strange clothes. Even the landscape looks very special.

Jinchu looked at the top of Chu Li's head. The purple color representing official luck was getting darker and darker. Maybe her eyesight was wrong and she saw it wrong?

How come no one appreciates the calligraphy and paintings of such a talented and lucky man?
Later, Chu Li was asked by Miss Peony, the courtesan of the brothel, to write a storybook, or a serial storybook.

His father gave him a pen name called Qi Yue. Jinchu scratched his head and asked, Qi Yue, could it be that she was his father's married wife?
