After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 305 Neighbors and Hidden Food【3】

"Yes!" Zhu Liushi's family of four, Xu Zhengmao's family of three, the mother and daughter of the Xu family, Granny Xiao and the apprentices from the Xiao Family Medical Clinic, Zhu Yiqing, Zhu Sanhong and other servants surnamed Zhu, Madam Yao and her four nieces and nephews Waiting for a large group of servants, they immediately got busy.

Grandma Xiao and Mrs. Yao are both experienced Taoists. They took the lead in searching the stove beds in each house: "This stove bed is equivalent to a small room. It is best to hide things in it. You have to get in and thoroughly Check it out."

"Eh." The apprentices from the Xiao Family Medical Center slipped into the stove bed, checking and groping inch by inch.

The Tan family did not come back to live this winter, so there was no fire in the stove bed. There was no black ash inside, and it was very clean, making it easy to check.

Grandpa Qin and Jiang Dalang were not idle. They took Qin Eryong and Qin Ying down to the cellar. They checked both the front and back cellars and confirmed that there were no secret passages or secret doors in the cellar.

Qin Xiaomi took Qin Eryong's wife with him, holding a wooden stick and tapping the floor tiles as he walked. He wanted to see if there was any space under the floor tiles?

A large group of people spent half a day and finally inspected the two-and-a-half-inch house by mid-afternoon application time.

Although I was very tired, the result was good.

"This house is very clean, and there is nothing hidden that shouldn't be there." Grandpa Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was mostly relieved.

Qin Eryong's wife also said: "There are many tables, chairs, wooden boxes, treasure racks, cages and other items in this house that can still be used. These items alone can save Xiaomi's family several taels of silver." ”

And I couldn't help but sigh: "We have escaped all the way, and we can live a good life."

Grandma Xiao and others were also sighing in their hearts... When they were first bought back by the Qin family, the slaves for sale in Guan Ya laughed at them, saying that they would go to the countryside to work as slaves for lowly peasants, and their descendants would never even think about it in their lifetimes. He turned around, but within a few days, the little boss actually bought a house in Fucheng!

Grandma Xiao's grandsons and granddaughters thought about how the slaves for sale laughed at them, and they really wanted to run back to Yahang and tell them that the Qin family was not just beggars who came from famine, but that the Qin family was a good family with a family fortune, and it was they who were not lucky. Bought by the Qin family!

Qin Xiaomi added: "Those tables, chairs, treasure racks, boxes and other objects should also be checked to make sure there are no inappropriate things stuffed inside."

"Yes." Mrs. Yao and the others responded.

Madam Yao handed another list to Qin Xiaomi: "My dear boss, this is the list of people staying in the house. Please take a look at it."

Mrs. Yao and Grandma Xiao can handle the trivial matters of arranging manpower for work. All Qin Xiaomi has to do is read the list they handed over. If they arrange it incorrectly, she can correct it.

After reading the list, Qin Xiaomi nodded and said, "Just follow this list."

Zhu Liushi, his father and son, plus Xu Zhengmao, a total of four people stayed behind, all living in the gatehouse.

Then he said to Zhu Xuewei and the others: "When you are keeping watch at night, you should be careful. If there are evil thieves who climb over the wall and come in, beat them if you can. If you can't beat them, lock them up and report them to the official. If any neighbors come to visit, you must treat them with courtesy." Treat each other well, but don’t take your neighbors lightly.”

Zhu Xuewei had read books, could settle accounts, and had a calm mind, so she reminded him specifically, making him the leader among the four.

Zhu Xuewei said hurriedly: "Yes, please remember, I will definitely guard the house for my boss."

Qin Xiaomi nodded and smiled at Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa, we have been working hard for a long time. Let's go back to the inn."

"Okay." Grandpa Qin was also tired, so Jiang Dalang drove them and took them back... The car was not big, so Mrs. Yao and the others could only follow behind the mule cart.

When Qin Xiaomi and the others returned to the Xue family inn, Qin's second uncle, Qin's second aunt, and the Zhao family's two grandsons had already returned.

"Grandpa of the Qin family and sister of the Qin family, you are back. The banquet has been heated up. You can have dinner later." The two grandsons of the Zhao family ran over, raised their smiles, and talked to them happily.

Grandpa Qin likes laughing and lively children, so he put the cotton hats on the two little guys with a smile and asked, "How are you, grandpa? You don't have a fever, right?"

Brother Rui said: "No, grandpa is doing better today and can go home the day after tomorrow... By the way, Grandpa Qin, we won't come to live the day after tomorrow, but Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin will come back, so don't worry. "

Uncle Qin gets along very well with the Qin family and will not run away easily. Now that their mission has been completed, they will not continue to take advantage.

"Go back to Yexiang Lane? Can anyone live in that house?" Grandpa Qin was a little worried... Just hearing the name of Yexiang Lane, you can tell that the house is in bad shape.

Grandpa Qin wanted to invite the Zhao family's ancestors and grandsons to live in a new house, but it was Xiaomi's house. He could not use Xiaomi's private property as a favor without discussing it with Xiaomi.

Qin Xiaomi said: "If grandpa is worried, let the second uncle take us to Yexiang Lane tomorrow to have a look. If the house is not in good condition, repair it. If the repair is not good, change the place. In short, let Mr. Zhao and his grandson have a warm winter." Year."

Grandpa Qin was delighted when he heard this: "Okay, Grandpa will go and have a look tomorrow."

"Dad, niece, stop dawdling and come to the banquet. This is the last half of the banquet, it will be gone after you eat it!" Uncle Qin urged. He and his wife only ate half full at Wuzhe Pharmacy today, and they deliberately saved some space and came back specifically for this banquet.

……

At half past midnight the next day, Qin Xiaomi asked his servants to go to the new house and continue the search: "It's not enough to check it once, so we have to check it every day for the past five days."

In five days, the Tan family's concierge will leave here and return to the capital.

"Yes." Madam Yao asked her servants to assemble, and after leaving four servants for Qin Xiaomi to dispatch, she took the rest of the servants to the new house.

Huang Yanglong and the others heard that the Qin family had bought a house, so they took Xiaobai and Jia Xiang to the guest house of the Qin family and asked, "Daughter of the Qin family, your family bought a house on Qiming Street in Midtown? It only cost one thousand." Two hundred taels?”

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Yes."

Huang Yanglong was envious and said sourly: "Most of the people living in Qiming Street are scholars. They are too serious and not lively at all. If you live here for a long time, you may become a nerd. But your family only spent one thousand two hundred taels on it. A house with a well is not a bad thing.”

Not only was there no loss, it was a huge profit!

Speaking of Qiming Street, Qin Xiaomi asked: "Xiaobai, Master Huang, you have lived in Fucheng, but do you know that Mo Xiucai from Qiming Street is the one who teaches at Xiaosong Academy and can translate and write Dongmo script."

Even on the border, there were only a handful of people who could speak foreign languages, so she believed that with Xiaobai's understanding of Dongming Mansion, he must have heard of this Mo Xiucai.

Sure enough, Xiaobai quickly said: "Do you know Mo Xiucai from Dongmowen? Not only have I heard of him, I have also seen him in a bookstore... He is a rare and unconventional person."

Xiaobai had to cooperate with Huang Yanglong in acting, so when he was in Fucheng, his status was awkward and he was laughed at by many people. One time he went to a bookstore to buy books and was kicked out.

But Mo Xiucai did not help others bully him, and even comforted him, saying that life is difficult and there is nothing to be ashamed of in fighting for a way to survive.

Xiaobai said this.

Qin Xiaomi was slightly surprised: "This Mo scholar has the legacy of a sage."

Then he asked: "Who taught Mo Xiucai the Dongmo script? Xiaobai, do you know the Dongmo script?"
