Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, this yard costs five taels of silver a month.

Uncle Xu, there are almost all furnitures in here. Just add some seasonings and you can live here, right?" The waiter paused for a moment.

Uncle Xu saw this and said, "Young man, just tell me, has anyone died in this house?"

When the waiter heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

After saying that, he looked at Uncle Xu, an old man, with so many children, and said directly: "Uncle Xu, I won't hide it from you.

This house belongs to the government office. Because the backyard of the government office is too big, they separated it into a small courtyard and planned to rent it out. "

Upon hearing this, A Bao said, "There should be a lot of people renting the government yard. Why?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter pointed to the wall and said, "Because, next to this yard is the yard where the coroner examined the body."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he understood that people would be extremely scared when they heard about a corpse. This yard was only separated from the corpse by a wall, so it was normal that they didn't dare to rent it.

However, these people have lived in such messy slums, let alone this kind of yard.

Uncle Xu glanced at them and saw that the children's eyes were sparkling, so he smiled and said, "Young man, let's go back and sign the contract."

The waiter thought they wouldn't rent it, and when he heard this, he was shocked and said, "Uncle Xu, think about it again. The corpses are stored next door. Don't scare these kids."

Uncle Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, little brother. We are not afraid."

Seeing that they were not afraid, the waiter paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Well, I'll take you to the government office to sign the contract."

After saying this, he laughed and said, "If you rent this, it will be much closer to the General's Mansion."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he was slightly stunned. The waiter, seeing that he didn't know, came to the gate of the government office and pointed to an alley, saying, "Go straight from this alley, and you will reach the general's mansion in about half a quarter of an hour."

After saying that, he added: "Don't think there's no one here, this is where all the officials live, so it's very safe."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he felt relieved instantly and made up his mind to rent this house.

At five taels a month, he could still afford it if he went out and found a worker.

After making the decision, Uncle Xu followed the waiter to rent the yard.

Then after bringing the luggage over, everyone started packing.

Uncle Xu was cutting weeds in the yard when he heard the children laughing in the house. Listening to their laughter, the corners of Uncle Xu's mouth curled up slightly.

A Bao and the others looked at the room that belonged to them alone, and the smiles on their faces never stopped. There was a bed in the room that was big enough for two children, and there was a small cabinet at the end of the bed.

He opened it and took a look, and guessed at a glance that this was probably a place to store their clothes.

After Po put all the clothes away, his eyes fell on the empty bed.

He thought of the two quilts they brought that were so worn out that they couldn't be any more worn out, so he took out the silver bills in his arms and came to Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu thought he wanted to help cut the weeds, so he said, "I'll take care of this. You can just find a piece of rag and wipe the whole room."

When Abao heard this, he handed the banknote to Uncle Xu.

Suddenly, several banknotes appeared in front of Uncle Xu. He looked up in fright. When he saw it was Abao, he quickly looked around, then stood up and took Abao to the room they had left for him.

After entering the house, Uncle Xu looked at Abao and asked, "Abao, where did you get this money?"

"It was given to me by the young master, but I wrote him an IOU."

Hearing this, Uncle Xu frowned and said, "Give this money back to your young master.

I still have some silver here. After I clean up this place, I will go out and find a servant. Don't worry, I will never let you go hungry.

If the generals find out about this money, please don’t let the young master get scolded because of us.”

Ah Bao listened to Uncle Xu's words, and waited until he finished speaking before saying, "Uncle Xu, don't worry, the old lady knows about this.

She said the money belonged to the young master and he could do with it as he pleased.

After saying this, A Bao said, “Uncle Xu, I didn’t want it at first, but I think the young master is right.

We need to settle down first, and then use the remaining money to make a living that suits us, so that we can gain a foothold here."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he sighed inwardly, no wonder he was from the General's Mansion, he knew all these things at such a young age.

But thinking of his own plans, he was about to speak when he heard A Bao say, "Uncle Xu, let's go buy some necessities first. Once we're settled, I can go to the general's mansion with peace of mind."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he was choked for a moment. He thought about it and nodded helplessly.

When A Bao heard this, he said happily: "Uncle Xu, let's go buy some food first, and then buy some vegetable seeds.

There are also bedding, kettles, and a few more straw mats. Otherwise, if it rains, we won’t be able to stay in the kitchen.”

Uncle Xu listened to what Abao said and nodded, "It's time to buy these, and also buy a hoe, otherwise we won't be able to handle the land in the yard.

However, as for the bedding, we can make do with it for now."

When A Bao heard this, he realized that Uncle Xu thought the bedding was expensive, so he said, "Uncle Xu, I've found out that there is a second-hand trading market on the street near the slums.

There are many markets where people don’t need quilts, or they are broken or too old. We can go there to buy quilts.”

When Uncle Xu heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded, "Okay, let's go out and buy something first, otherwise it will be dark soon."

Hearing this, Abao called everyone over and left the youngest, Awei, at home to look after the house. Uncle Xu, Abao, Achun and Chongzi went to the street, asked around, and then went to the second-hand market.

When they arrived at the streets and saw the things being sold, they understood for the first time what life was like in the capital.

Chongzi was a lively person. He quickly went forward to ask about the price. When he heard the price, he was shocked.

He quickly found Uncle Xu, told him the price, and said happily: "Uncle Xu, I didn't expect the things here are so cheap."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he turned his head to look at Chongzi and explained, “These things are what the rich and powerful people don’t want.

The people who live in Beijing are either rich or noble, and ordinary people with better financial conditions will not buy these used things, so the prices are not that high."

After hearing what Uncle Xu said, Chongzi asked suspiciously, "Uncle Xu, aren't there slums in Beijing?"
