Chapter 8 Private Money (Please collect and read)

However, the prerequisite for participating in the martial arts competition is that he must first get rid of his slave status in Qingmu County.

But escaping from slavery is often not easy.

First, you must have enough redemption money on hand to redeem the deed from the owner’s family.

Both of them should go to the government office with the letter from their master and the deed to go through the procedures for deregistration.

The yamen will not stop such good things as increasing the number of tax collectors under the rule. The real difficulty is only to get rid of the master who is in charge of the body deed.

"I have been eating horse chews for so many years in Li's house, and I have also learned the art of raising horses. If you want to redeem my body deed, the market price is at least ten taels of silver..."

When Wei Tu thought of this, his face became a little ugly.

He worked his way from a tenant farmer to become a stable boy in Li Zhai, and the treatment he enjoyed in Li Zhai was greatly improved, including wages, meat and fish, and status in front of the master's family.

The host even arranged a marriage for him...

If he does not redeem himself, all this is good.

But redemption...

I had to spit out everything I ate, drank, and used.

The status of a horseherd will also increase the value of one's own body.

besides.

Technical workers are all golden.

When the Yamen levied civil service, he, a horseherd, was able to pay for it and save his master's family a large sum of money for service.

Under this prerequisite, even if he saves enough ten taels of silver to redeem his life, Li Zhai will not let him go easily, not to mention that Mr. Li is still a "sharp person".

Stingy and skinny.

He ordered his servants to light only one stem, lest they waste their own oil.

"When dad sold me, he only got five pieces of silver and two measures of wheat."

Wei Tu sighed secretly.

In just six years, his net worth has increased twenty-fold, which is unimaginable.

However, life was not valuable during the famine, so it was a blessing that he could sell himself to survive.

"How much money do you still have on hand..." In the evening, when Xinghua returned to her room, Wei Tu asked about the private money that Xinghua had.

Although the two of them were already married, according to custom, all the money Xinghua had saved for her private life was for her dowry, and her husband could not use a penny of it without Xinghua's consent.

"Why do you ask this?" Xinghua's face showed some vigilance.

The private money she had saved by working in Li's house over the years was the foundation for her to settle down.

Even though Wei Tu was her man, she wouldn't give out a penny without a legitimate reason.

"I... plan to quit my citizenship and take the martial arts examination. The money I have is much worse..." Wei Tu said his plan without hesitation.

Now he and Xinghua are married, they are the closest people, and they depend on each other for life.

Although he felt a little unhappy about using Xinghua's dowry,...the matter of deportation involved the future, so the sooner the better.

He won't be pretentious here.

If you owe Xinghua today, you can pay it back a hundred times or a thousand times tomorrow.

Husband and wife are meant to bear difficulties together and enjoy blessings together.

"Departure? Brother Wei, what stimulated you? Are you crazy?" Hearing Wei Tu's words, Xinghua stood up with a look of fear on her face. She lowered her voice and lectured: "Leave Li Zhai, where else can you go to find such a good job? After this autumn, I will test Grandma’s words again, maybe I can rent a field this year..."

"Once we rent a field, life will get better and we can move out of this house."

After Xinghua muttered a few words, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and she wiped them gently with a handkerchief.

She originally thought that she married a peaceful man and had a promising life, but now it seems that Wei Tu is "restless" at heart.

Martial arts?

Is the martial arts exam something that servants can take?

When ordinary people see a person who has passed the martial arts examination, they have to bow down and call him "Martial Arts Master".

"Look." When Wei Tu saw Xinghua's appearance, he did not come forward to comfort her. Instead, he walked out of the main room, picked up the two hundred kilograms of stone locks in the corner of the courtyard, and carried them back into the house.

He played a trick in front of Xinghua.

Facts are the best evidence.

He has the capital to take the martial arts examination!

"Isn't this fake?" Xinghua wiped her tears with a handkerchief, walked to Wei Tu, and tried to lift the stone lock.

Soon, she showed an expression of disbelief, and her eyes were brighter and more crystal clear than the light of the oil lamp in the room.

The two hundred kilogram stone lock was so heavy that she couldn't even lift it, but her man had the ability to swing it.

She is not some weak woman who cannot carry it on her shoulders or lift it with her hands.

Xinghua walked closer and touched Wei Tu's chest. She quickly felt the hard chest muscles built up through Xia Yi, as well as a pair of strong arms as thick as rafters.

"Brother Wei, do you really plan to take the martial arts examination?" Xinghua somewhat believed Wei Tu's words.

At this moment, she not only began to hope that the next generation would succeed in school, but also that her own men would become successful in this generation.

"As long as you practice archery well, it shouldn't be a big problem to go to the martial arts examination and become a martial arts scholar." Even though Wei Tu was not sure in his heart, he still gave Xinghua a thumbs up.

There is still more than a year left before the Qingfeng Mansion's martial arts examination. In this more than a year, his physique will definitely be stronger than it is now.

In addition, without a slave status, it is easier for him to do things. Even if he cannot make a lot of money with the modern gadgets in his mind, it is more than enough to make a few small sums.

Nowadays, even with superior force, he can protect the property he deserves.

Don't be afraid of Xiaoxiao coveting you.

"My private money... I have thirty taels and seven cents. This is the wages earned over the years, as well as daily rewards from the house..." Xinghua hesitated for a moment, took out her private money from the mahogany box in the corner of the room, and placed it on the On the bed, I counted it once.

She had been in Li's house for two years before Wei Tu, and as a maid, she usually received many rewards, not to mention that she later became Li's cook. If she was a little greedy, it would be a good income.

Of course, she was timid and did not dare to be greedy for big things. She only dared to be greedy for small bargains when buying vegetables and cutting meat.

These masters probably know that their servants are greedy for money, and as long as they don't do too much, they won't interfere too much.

Otherwise, with Li Tong's shrewdness, Xinghua would not have been a cook for so long.

"I only have more than one tael on hand, plus the money my father gave me, I have three taels."

"There are still three liang or three liang left..."

Wei Tu calculated the combined amount of money between the two of them and said.

"Three, two, three... If I can convince my grandma to rent three or four acres of land this year, I can make five or six dollars minus the rent."

"I'll ask Chunlan and Caixia to borrow some more. With our future wages, the shortfall shouldn't be too big."

"It really doesn't work..."

Xinghua gritted her teeth and made a plan to use her power to embezzle a large sum of money.

"This won't work." Wei Tu saw Xinghua's plan and stopped him in time.

They are greedy for bargaining, and this is done within the rules. After Li Tong knew about it, he would turn a blind eye.

But if you have a wrong idea, pass off the bad as the good, and play with the scales, Li Tongshi will not be so easy to talk to.

If Xinghua is beaten to death, the yamen will not pursue it too much and will fine her a sum of money.

"If you succeed, I can just be the kiln sister..." Seeing the worried look on Wei Tu's face, Xinghua was moved in her heart and uttered this sentence like a vow.

"Bah, bah, bah."

"It's not fun to say that."

"What do you think your man is?"

Wei Tu frowned and scolded.
