Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

There was admiration in the little girl's eyes, but actually, there was a fighting spirit hidden in it.

Mrs. Han was a smart person and immediately guessed what Qiao Jianer was thinking.

But she also felt that it was a bit unrealistic, because this kind of tile is very expensive, and it is difficult for rural families to afford it even if they work hard all their lives and save up the money for several generations.

Moreover, it is difficult to obtain approval documents. The reason why glazed tiles are expensive is not only because of the material, but also because ordinary people cannot use this kind of tiles.

"Ms. Qiao, do you know why our Han family can use this kind of glazed tiles?" Mrs. Han asked directly.

Qiao Jianer said, "In this peaceful alley, only the Han family uses glazed tiles. The other wealthy families use ordinary high-quality tiles. The Han family must have something special."

Madam Han pulled her to sit in the pavilion and said, "Throughout the dynasties, only the royal family, temples, and the residences of nobles could use glazed tiles. However, this time, the royal family showed mercy and made a concession."

"Even ordinary families who have made great contributions to the country, the emperor, and the people can use glazed tiles. This is not decided by local officials, but must be reported to the higher authorities and approved by the emperor."

"Is it not okay to have relatives who are officials?" asked Qiao Jianer.

Madam Han shook her head. "Don't even mention that this is not allowed. Officials below the fourth rank are not allowed to use glazed tiles in their residences unless the royal family has special permission."

Qiao Jianer was a little surprised. As a merchant, the Han family was able to use glazed tiles, which was a remarkable thing, and there must be other reasons behind it.

Mrs. Han knew that she was confused, so she said.

"Seven years ago, His Majesty was on a tour of the south in disguise. While passing a section of road, his horse got startled and the Emperor fell off. My master happened to be passing by and, without a second thought, used his body as a cushion to save His Majesty's life. Since then, His Majesty has been in poor health. His Majesty was compassionate and appointed my master as the head of the Ning County Chamber of Commerce. He also allowed our Han family to use glazed tiles to build our courtyard."

It turns out that it was obtained at the cost of one's life.

While Qiao Jian'er admired him, he also gave up the idea. Such an opportunity is not available to ordinary people. And even if put in such a situation, who would risk their life to use their body as a cushion for a stranger?

Moreover, merchants are profit-oriented and few people would be so merciful. Perhaps Mr. Han already knew that it was the emperor who fell from the horse.

As for more, Qiao Jianer didn't think about it any further.

"Madam, please be so assured and tell me about this matter."

Mrs. Han smiled and said, "This is not a secret. I just want to tell you that getting the qualification to build a house with glazed tiles is extremely difficult. But Miss Qiao, you are a person with ideas. I believe that your family will be able to build a large courtyard sooner or later."

When the servants at home passed by Datian Village, she asked them to pay attention.

The Qiao family still lived in a thatched hut, which was dilapidated, blocked with straw and covered with yellow mud, and leaked air.

But these children were very honest when doing business with her, and such qualities were rare, so she took extra care of them.

Qiao Jianer said politely, "I'm asking for your good wishes, Madam."

The three siblings walked out of the Han family's courtyard. Dacheng finally couldn't contain his inner surprise. "Sister Jian'er, you want to use glazed tiles to build the courtyard? Not only do you say you don't have the qualifications, but do you know how expensive glazed tiles are?"

"Well, what's the price?"

"To build a yard twice as big as our current one, ordinary glazed tiles alone would cost five hundred taels, better ones one thousand taels, top-quality ones two thousand taels, and top-quality ones even more expensive."

"So expensive." Qiao Jianer was amazed. The Han family's large courtyard with three entrances and three exits was almost the size of a garden. It was many times larger than the courtyard they were planning to expand. And those pavilions, terraces, corridors, and glazed tiles on the roof, who knew how much they would cost in total.

Dayong: "Yeah, so ordinary people like us shouldn't even think about it. Other tiles also come in different colors, and they look good when matched together. Now we're lucky to be able to scrape together enough money to build a house, but we're still far from it."

Qiao Jian'er didn't have any other ideas. It wasn't that she wanted to be superior to others. She just liked the beauty of the glazed tiles shimmering in the sun. From morning to night, the light of dawn and dusk shining on the tiles was a beautiful scenery.

"Your family has finished selling it too. How much did you sell?"

A villager followed behind. It was Old Lady Li. She had just sold more than four taels of silver and couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Just two or three taels." said Qiao Jianer.

Two or three taels, it must be two taels. Old Lady Li smiled even more.

"Two taels isn't a small amount. You've earned so much before, now it's time for everyone to earn more."

What is this? The corners of the three siblings' mouths twitched.

However, Old Lady Li did not stay with them for too long and soon went to show off in front of other people.

Along the way, villagers came to ask the three siblings from time to time, and Qiao Jianer directly said two taels. The expressions on the villagers' faces became relieved. While saying nice things, they were secretly happy.

Anyway, this is human nature. They may not want you to be bad, but they don’t want you to be better than them.

Except for those who went to the town to sell mushrooms, every household in Datian Village had already set out early in the morning. People from other villages passing by were surprised, wondering why everyone in Datian Village went up the mountain.

But everyone was disappointed because everyone rushed up the mountain yesterday and snatched up almost all the mushrooms that could be picked, so everyone didn't get much today.

After shopping for a whole morning, the most I found was only seven or eight kilograms.

When the villagers met on the mountain, they looked at each other's harvests in their backpacks and shook their heads with wry smiles.

It seems that this kind of unexpected wealth picked up from the mountain is not a long-term solution. If you have it, it is good luck, if you don’t, that’s it.

They originally thought that if they could earn two or three taels a day and a little over a hundred taels a month, they would be very rich. However, this depends on God's will and whether the land allows it. There are many factors involved.

As for the Qiao family, their goal was more specific. They specifically went to those mushroom nests where chicken mushrooms grew, but after a whole morning, they only found about three pounds.

After lunch, Qiao Jianer opened her farm space, upgraded the soil, and increased the supply of divine water. The seeds that were planted grew as high as a palm overnight, and the farm became lush green.

As for the originally planted row of Chinese cabbages, they have grown to half size and can be harvested and exchanged for gold coins in two days.

That's the benefit of spending money.

The two elders of the Qiao family took care of the pigpen and chicken coop and prepared to go up the mountain to find pig grass. There were not many mushrooms on the mountain, so Qiao Xier stayed and made clothes and shoes for the whole family with Qiao Yunni.

When the two elders were about to set off with their backpacks on their backs, a somewhat stout woman came in from outside the door. She had red cheeks, a big black mole on her chin, and a handkerchief in her hand.

This is Liu the matchmaker from the neighboring village.
