Su Hao did not answer Lu Xiu'er's question. He turned to Su Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, you go back first and tell my mother, and I said that I had accepted the assignment from the magistrate and would stay in the county town for a few days. For specific matters, I will go back and tell her after I am free."

"Did Xiu'er stay in the county with you?" Su Xiaohu asked.

Su Hao said: "Yes, I can't do what the county magistrate told me alone. I need Xiu'er to help me with it, so she doesn't go back."

"Ah? How could I do anything?" Lu Xiuer was anxious when she heard that she had her own business.

Su Hao glared at her and said, "I'll tell you later, why are you quarreling?"

"Hmph, I know how to bully people!" Lu Xiuer muttered in a low voice, but she really didn't dare to talk too much.

In the past, Su Hao and Lu Xiu'er rarely had any intersection, so naturally there would be no dispute. Su Hao was a nerd. He could reach out and eat. When Lu Xiu'er couldn't stand it, he would stab him a few words, and Su Hao often confessed in silence because he could not argue with this sister at all.

But now after Su Hao traveled over, the relationship between the two people changed subtly. Lu Xiu'er discovered that the former timid brother suddenly became domineering. Not only did he dare to quarrel with the official officer or even attack, he even looked neither humble nor arrogant in front of the magistrate, which made Lu Xiu'er feel that he needed to look up.

Because of this, when Su Hao glared at him, Lu Xiuer was instinctively scared. Of course, she was not afraid that this brother would beat and scold her, but was impressed by his majesty, which is what people often say, the feeling of being arrogant without anger.

"Xiaohu, this is 10 taels of silver. You bring it to my mother for me, and it is said that the magistrate rewarded me. Also, tell her that you can hire a few short-term workers to help the work in the field. I already have an errand, so she doesn't have to farm and make money anymore." Su Hao said.

"Brother Hao, do you have an errand?" Su Xiaohu asked happily. In the eyes of the villagers, being able to have an errand in the county government is a very glorious thing, which means that Su Hao has become an official from now on.

Su Hao nodded and said, "The magistrate appointed me to be responsible for digging wells. I will talk about this matter in detail later."

"I know, I know." Su Xiaohu repeatedly claimed, "Brother Hao, don't worry, I will bring you all the words Yin Liang and you."

Su Hao took out another silver weighing seven or eight yuan and handed it to Su Xiaohu, saying, "Xiaohu, this little silver is for you. First of all, thank you for driving the car to take me into the city, and secondly, please ask you to take care of my mother for me these days. When I finish my work here and return to the village, I will thank you heavily."

"I can't take this." Su Xiaohu blushed as if he felt the money was burning, and refused, "Your mother is also my aunt. It's my duty to take care of her. How dare I take so much money from your Brother Hao."

"If you give it to you, just take it." Su Hao forced the silver into Su Xiaohu's hand, "If you feel embarrassed, then just treat it as I rewarded you. I am now an official, so it is okay to give you a piece of silver, right?"

Su Xiaohu had admired Su Hao before and always put himself in Su Hao's position. Su Hao said that the silver was rewarded to him. Not only did he not feel insulted, but he was also a little excited. He refused again and again, and finally finally accepted the silver timidly, patted his chest and said, "Brother Hao, don't worry, I have everything on my side. If you want to hire someone in the county town, ask someone to send a message and I will help you immediately."

Su Hao laughed, patted Su Xiaohu on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, Xiaohu, when I make a name for myself, I will definitely bring you out of the countryside and be a city man."

After explaining this, Su Hao went to the next deli restaurant and bought some cooked meat, steamed buns, etc., and handed it to Su Xiaohu, indicating that some of them were for Su Xiaohu to eat on the road, and the others were for Su Xiaohu to take them back for Yang Gendi. Su Hao now has money in his pocket, so naturally he can no longer let his mother drink some porridge every day. He thought that he would settle down for a while now. When he gained a foothold in the county town in the future, he must move his mother and Lu Xiu'er to the city to live. As for the acres of land in the countryside, he would rent it out and collect a few stones of rent a year.

After seeing Su Xiaohu off, Su Hao turned around and talked to Lu Xiu'er with a smile. Lu Xiu'er was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything. When she saw Su Hao coming to talk to her, she wanted to give Su Hao a look. However, her prudent eyes had no effect in front of Su Hao. Su Hao took out a few pieces of silver and threw it in his hand. Lu Xiu'er's eyes widened. She couldn't wait to ask Su Hao about the origin of the silver, completely forgot that she was angry with Su Hao.

"Brother, why do you still have money?"

"This is all rewarded by the magistrate." Su Hao said with a smile.

"Didn't you ask Xiaohu to take the silver rewarded by the magistrate to mom?" Lu Xiu'er asked.

Su Hao said: "The magistrate rewarded me with 20 taels. I took 10 taels for Xiaohu to take it back to my mother. I gave Xiaohu less than 1 tael, and there were still 9 taels left. Look, they are all here."

"So much silver!" Lu Xiu'er was holding a few pieces of broken silver, feeling a little unreal. She had never saved more than 5 taels of silver at home, and these silvers were always hidden by Yang Gendi. Only when Su Hao was about to go to the city to study, Yang Gendi would find some broken silver from somewhere to serve as a means of money for Su Hao. As for Lu Xiu'er, the maximum amount of money she handled was only a few dozen cents, so how could she see 9 taels of silver at once?

"Let's go, I'll take you to have something delicious." Su Hao's pocket had silver in his pocket, so he was confident enough. Some people compared the prices of later generations, thinking that one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to about 1,000 yuan in later generations. In other words, Su Hao's pocket now had a full 9,000 yuan. In such a small county, such a sum of money could be squandered for a while. Especially, Su Hao was almost a pauper before, and the feeling of a poor man being rich was always very beautiful.

"Brother, you just said you wanted me to stay and help you do things. What are you doing?" Lu Xiuer was concerned about the question just now.

Su Hao said: "Didn't you say you want to eat fried noodles from Nantouxiang? Let's go and eat it now."

"That's not what you said, isn't that the matter?" Lu Xiu'er was stunned.

Su Hao smiled and said, "If it's not this, what else can you do? Besides eating, what else can you help me?"

"You are so bad! You are so bad!" Lu Xiu'er swung her little pink fist and beat Su Hao. In her heart, she had no intention of being annoyed. On the contrary, she was using this method to vent her inner feeling of happiness.

The brother and sister walked forward warmly along Dongmen Street, and the noon sun shone with a strong feeling, but neither of them felt the heat. They were all immersed in their own joy.

Su Hao briefly introduced Lu Xiu'er to the conversation he had just talked with Han Wen. Lu Xiu'er couldn't understand the twists and turns, but at least one thing he understood was that his brother had become an official, and he was a very big official. Even Zheng Dianli, who was digging wells in the village, would have to obey his brother's control in the future.

In addition to being promoted, my brother can also make money. The 20 taels of silver rewarded by the magistrate is only a part of it. My brother will have a salary of 2 stones of rice every month in the future. According to the market price, 2 stones of rice is equivalent to more than 1 tael of silver, and it will be more than ten taels a year, which is almost the same as their family's annual income for farming.

According to my brother, if you work in the county government, you have to live in the county town. So, today they have another very important thing to do, that is, rent a house. Renting a house and cleaning up after renting the house are not something Su Hao is good at. This requires Lu Xiuer to advise and operate. Su Hao said that Lu Xiuer has something to do, which actually refers to this matter.

"Brother, you have rented a house. Can my mother and I come here to live?" Lu Xiuer asked in anticipation.

Su Hao said: "It's not that you come here to live in normally, but that you have to move out of the countryside and live in the city. Therefore, the house we want to rent must be large, and it's best to bring a yard."

"Ah? You still have to rent a house with a yard?" Lu Xiu'er said in surprise, "Isn't that the house is the same as the house in the village chief?"

In Longkou Village, only the inner-camp Su Zhong lives in a house with a yard, which has main houses and wing rooms. Other villagers only have one house with a top house. At best, they can circle a small piece of land with branches or bamboo in front of the house. This is definitely not considered a yard.

When Lu Xiuer heard that she could live in a house with a yard, she was so happy that she was about to jump out of her heart.

"We rent a yard with three rooms, one of you, one of me, one of my, one of my, one of my, one of my, one of you, one of my, one of you," Lu Xiu'er suggested. When she was a child, she lived in the same house with Su Hao. When she grew up, it was not convenient to live with Su Hao, so she moved to live in the same room with Yang Gendi. One of her dreams was to have a room of her own. If possible, she also wanted to decorate the room like the embroidery building of the magistrate's lady - it only needs to be as good as 10% of the embroidery building.

"Let's talk about it." Su Hao said, "Maybe more than three rooms, we need to have a living room, a study room, and a guest room. What if your parents want to stay in the city for two days?"

"Will that cost a lot of money?" Lu Xiuer was moved by the beautiful prospects described by Su Hao. She couldn't help but hold Su Hao's arm and asked timidly.
