Before Sun finished speaking, Yang Ruoqing burst into laughter.

"Mom, how many evil people like Qian are there in the world? She stole Chen'er out of revenge!" Yang Ruoqing said.

"The servants in Da'an's yard were all bought from Renyaozi, and they have contracts of sale."

"In other words, they were sold into slavery, just like the cows and donkeys we raise at home. If we don't like using them, we can resell them. Their freedom, life and death are all in our hands.

In the hands of the master."

Originally, Yang Ruoqing didn't want to tell these cruel things to Sun. In Changping Village, there was no need to tell them.

Because they are all poor farmers, poverty limits imagination, and it is impossible to imagine what the life of rich people is like.

But now that I have come to the capital, I should explain what I need to explain, even if I say it to my surprise, Mrs. Sun and Xiaoduo Xiaojie.

"Tsk, tsk, it turns out that in the eyes of rich people, people are really divided into three, six or nine grades. They are no different from animals!" Mrs. Sun murmured.

Before Yang Ruoqing could say anything, Xiaohua's face was filled with emotion.

"To be honest, mother, I didn't know this when I first arrived in the capital."

"Later I saw several things in this area with my own eyes, and I realized that it is better for us as farmers,"

"Staying in a rural village, the people's customs are simple and honest, and the outside world is really like this." Xiao Hua said.

Sun nodded slightly.

"Well, we have to treat the people in this yard kindly. No matter what you say, they are all human beings. Other wealthy people don't treat them as human beings, but we can't. We are from a farmer's family." Sun

Shi said again.

Xiaohua nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I will treat them well as master and servant."

Xiaohua slept with Mrs. Sun tonight. Yang Ruoqing got up and left the room. She saw that the light in the small study room opposite was still on, and the silhouettes of her uncle and nephew sitting face to face were projected on the screen window. It was so warm and loving.

Not sure what Da'an was talking about, Chen'er listened carefully and nodded lightly from time to time.

A pleased smile appeared on Yang Ruoqing's lips. Her son must have inherited his uncle's good genes because he was so good at reading.

Both of them are geniuses, and they have a lot to talk about together.

"Excuse me, can I come in and sit for a while?" Yang Ruoqing gently knocked on the study door and asked.

"Sister, you just come in, why do you have to speak so politely? I'm really not used to it!" Da'an joked, then stood up and came over to open the door.

Chen'er also stood up and looked at Yang Ruoqing who walked in with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said to the two of them: "Both mother and Xiaohua have rested, and I am planning to go back to the house to rest."

"When I saw that the lights were still on in your house, I came over to say hello. You can continue chatting. I'll sit down and leave."

Da'an smiled and sat down immediately, Chen'er also sat down, and the uncle and nephew continued chatting on the previous topic.

Yang Ruoqing sat aside and looked at the small study. The study was really too small and could not fit two rows of bookshelves.

My younger brother will settle down and start a family in the capital in the future, so such a small study room really offends him.

But now, he has just worked as an errand in the Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Academy is a Qingshui yamen, and Da'an's current salary will definitely not be able to afford such a big house.

It's also her sister's fault for not thinking carefully. When the young couple left the existence, they were disgusted by the incident about Tweety, so they left in a hurry and took three hundred taels of silver notes with them.

These three hundred taels of silver notes can buy a three-bedroom house in Qing'an County.

If you leave it to a banker, this money will last you two lifetimes.

So when she left, Yang Ruoqing felt that three hundred taels of silver was enough for the couple to support them for a year, and she would support them again after a year.

But Yang Ruoqing neglected one thing, and that was that she had not been to the capital for two full years. After the rebellion of the puppet emperor in the capital, land prices had increased a lot.

She had inquired carefully with Xiaohua before, and Daan had spent one hundred and eighty taels of silver to buy just this small courtyard house.

Then I spent another five or sixty taels on food, clothing and other things in the capital for the past six months. Now that I have a lot of money on hand, I only have five or sixty taels of silver left.

There were several mouths in the Sihe courtyard, all counting on Da'an's salary at the Hanlin Academy. Seeing that she was pregnant with a child, the expenses would increase again.

Moreover, his mother and two younger sisters from his hometown are coming over, and Da'an doesn't want to wrong them, so Da'an is a little worried about this during this period.

I wanted to borrow money from Yang Ruoqing, but I was embarrassed to ask. After all, I was already working as an errand in the Hanlin Academy, married a wife and had children.

It's so shameless to ask my sister for help...

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing turned around and looked at her uncle and nephew who were eagerly discussing a topic she didn't understand at the desk.

My nephew is like my uncle, he is very good at reading.

But when it comes to making money, my nephew's brains are far inferior to my uncle's.

Over there, Da'an and Chen'er finally finished their discussion. Chen'er stood up and said goodbye to Yang Ruoqing and Da'an. He knew that his mother must have something private to say to his uncle, so he went back to the house to rest first.

In the room, Da'an said to Yang Ruoqing: "Sister, after much thought, you should not show me the house."

"Actually, if I wanted to, I could get a two-story, two-story house with a small garden on Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in Beijing."

"But, I don't want to do that. I just want to rely on my own abilities, slowly, bit by bit, to work hard and strive for a bright future..."

"It's just that this world is indeed a bit difficult. It's not that I got the top prize and entered the Hanlin Academy, and the gold and silver treasures were waving at me. 0

"

"If I want to quickly get something that ordinary people can't get after a lifetime of hard work, I have to pay more. Therefore, unless I have to, I don't want to touch that piece. I just want to keep my original intention.

Be my clear leader..."

Da'an smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that this clear stream is indeed clear, but it's also really a breath of fresh air!"

After listening to Daan's true inner monologue, Yang Ruoqing could deeply feel how much pressure Daan was carrying.

"Many people study hard while living in poverty, just for the sake of honoring their ancestors and achieving prosperity and wealth." Yang Ruoqing said.

"So, when they are officials, they use their power for personal gain, use their power to form cliques for personal gain, and collude between officials and businessmen,"

"Then, try every means to get gray income and obtain ill-gotten gains."

"In various forms and means, I arranged for relatives, friends and subordinates at home, and gradually weaved a huge network of relationships and people."

"This phenomenon is actually normal, and it cannot be avoided wherever there are people." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Da'an, sister is really happy that you can stay alone in this turbid officialdom and maintain your true heart. You are my sister's pride."

"Don't worry, your talents will not be overwhelmed by this life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. My sister will not let you compromise with those people for five buckets of rice."

"As I said before, you should concentrate on your duties, whether it is Emperor Qi or Prince Qi Xingyun. I dare not say anything else, but father and son, the emperor, are all people who are thirsty for talents."

"As long as you are gold, you will always shine one day. As for other trivial matters related to the back house, you don't have to worry about it at all."
