Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

I have bought the small shop, but I cannot open it for the time being. There is nothing to do at the construction site, and I don’t need to take care of the vegetables in the field every day. I can just pick some from time to time and eat them.

Xiuwen and Qiwen resumed their daily routine of going to school and then going home, and then going back to school.

I stayed at home and spent a few days designing the shop. After I finished, I put it aside. I felt that I had nothing to do. I was free. In addition to the money to buy the shop, I also had to do some decoration. When the time came, I had to buy some things, which would cost dozens of taels. There were also expenses at home. So, I didn't have much money on hand.

If Xiu Wen were to take part in the county examination next year, it would be another large sum of money. Judging from Xu Rui's father and son's current evaluation of Xiu Wen, as well as his level of effort, the possibility of him passing the examination next year should be 100%.

The road is long and arduous, but I dare not stop in making money.

I went to the courtyard gate and strolled onto the street, trying to see if there was anything else I could do to earn some money first.

I was strolling on the street when someone patted my shoulder and a surprised voice called out from behind me: "Auntie Yun, I finally found you. I've been looking for you for two days and it's exhausting."

I turned around and saw that it was Jiang Chuan, looking very happy.

"Mr. Jiang, why are you here? What a coincidence, we meet again,"

"Aunt Yun, what a coincidence! I came here specially to look for you. I have been looking for you for two days and only met you today. If I had known, I would have left your address."

"Mr. Jiang, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Auntie Yun, can't I come to see you if I'm fine?"

"Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about? If you can come, then Ri Chi can't invite guests here,"

"Aunt Yun, I'm so happy that you can welcome me here, but I really came here to talk to you about something. Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly!"

There was a restaurant next to it, so I invited Jiangchuan to sit inside. I ordered some dishes and served Jiangchuan a pot of tea.

Jiang Chuan picked up the tea and took a big sip. "I want to cooperate with you this time. I have a few friends in the city who want to make the running water devices in the manor. I want you to go there and help. Don't worry, the price is negotiable. As long as the work is done well, money is not a problem."

I was just worrying about how to expand my wealth, and here comes the God of Wealth.

"How far is it from the capital to the city, Mr. Jiang? Is there much work?"

"Aunt Yun, it takes about a day to get there from here. Of course, that's the time it takes by carriage. If you walk, it may take three days. There are about nine households over there, and we can be sure that they will do it. If they do well, there should be more people doing it. And I can provide you and Aunt Yun with a place to live, but you have to give me 20% of the profit you make." Jiang Chuan answered me with a smile.

I was immediately attracted. In ancient times, toilets were mostly dry toilets. Those who renovated toilets were mostly rich people. Ordinary people could not even get enough food, so no one was willing to spend their spare money on this. Where are the rich people? They must be in the big cities. With more rich people, consumption is higher, and with higher consumption, there are more opportunities.

If I give Jiangchuan 20%, I will be protected if something happens there. It seems that I earn less, but it is actually more secure. Besides, the people there all depend on Jiangchuan to go around, so I won't lose 20%. Moreover, Jiangchuan will provide a place to live, so Jiangchuan still loses.

Xiuwen and Qiwen are studying in the academy and can take care of themselves. To be honest, I don't need to worry about these two children. If I go to the capital, I can live there and come back to visit when I have time.

"Okay. Mr. Jiang, I'll go back and discuss it with Brother He and give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

"Aunt Yun, I live in the Yuelai Inn on the east side of this town, so you can come find me when the time comes. Or you can tell me where your home is, and I can come find you when the time comes!"

"That's fine. I'll tell you and you can remember it."

After leaving my address, I said goodbye to Jiang Chuan and decided to go to Brother He's house to discuss things with him first.

After listening to me, Brother He and Sister He both thought they could go over first and if possible ask the people in the family to go over. Sister He didn't want to be separated from Brother He, so she decided to go with him this time. I thought if I started working and went out to eat, it would definitely be inconvenient, and if Sister He went over, there would just be someone who could help with cooking.

After making the decision, Brother He and I went to Yuelai Inn at the east end of the town to find Jiangchuan.

Jiangchuan got an accurate answer and was very happy. He asked when we could set off.

I thought about it and realized that I still needed to clean up the house, and Xiuwen’s birthday was the next day. So I decided to set off after Xiuwen’s birthday in two days.

Brother He also needs to go to the countryside to pick up his mother and take care of the children, which will take just one or two days.

After agreeing on the departure time, Jiang Chuan decided to relax here for two days before going to the city with us. I think this is a good idea, and we can directly reach the destination. It saves a lot of trouble.

I returned home and washed and tidied up everything. In the evening, Xiuwen and Qiwen came home. I had just finished cooking when I heard someone knocking on the courtyard door. Xiuwen got up and opened the door. I saw a young man standing at the door with high spirits. I was about to ask who he was looking for.

The yard is too small, and standing at the door, you can see everything in the yard. I just walked out of the kitchen, and Jiang Chuan at the door saw me.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, he laughed at Xiu Wen and performed a martial arts etiquette. Then he tilted his head and shouted with a smile: "Auntie Yun, I came to see you." He did not bring a servant with him, but took two boxes of cakes from his horse.

I pointed at Jiangchuan and said to Xiuwen, "This is Mr. Jiang." Xiuwen returned the greeting, and I said to Jiangchuan, "This is my eldest son Xiuwen."

Jiang Chuan's high-spirited, cheerful and generous nature are what Xiu Wen does not have. His childhood and teenage experiences have made Xiu Wen too mature. I did not expect Jiang Chuan to come here, but if they can get in touch with each other, the complementary personalities will be very beneficial to Xiu Wen.

"Mr. Jiang, have you eaten? We are just about to eat."

"Auntie Yun, I haven't eaten yet, so please get me a set of bowls and chopsticks."

After dinner, Xiuwen went to read a book, and Jiangchuan followed him in. Although the young man practiced martial arts, his education level was not behind. The two chatted for a while, and unexpectedly, they got along better and better. Xiuwen admired Jiangchuan's knowledge and talent. Jiangchuan admired Xiuwen's excellent memory, his ability to draw inferences from one instance, and his extraordinary intelligence. They chatted until midnight, and Jiangchuan did not return to the inn, but slept directly with Xiuwen on the two couches.

I never expected that this chance acquaintance would lead to us becoming close friends, and eventually helping each other and achieving success together.
