Chapter 31 Leave, move out

In the evening, Jiuqi came back with a big bag and a small bag.

Wei Xiang took what was in his hand.

Jiang Zhao said, "Why don't you hire a carriage and carry it back by yourself?"

"I hired a carriage, and I asked him to stop at a house in the village closest to Da Genge's house."

"I'm afraid that groom will also be bought by someone, and those who target us will know that I am with the young master."

Jiu Qi said while packing up the things in his hands.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Zhao couldn't help giving him a big thumbs-up. This Jiuqi is really smart and careful, and even thought of this.

If they can't even go out to buy things in [-], then they will definitely be greatly restricted in the city.

Although there are still great restrictions now, it's okay to have Jiuqi here.

At this time, Si Mubai came out of the room, and Jiang Zhao stepped forward and praised Jiu Qi again.

Jiu Qi didn't look proud, perhaps he had been with Si Mubai for a long time, and some of his characteristics were the same as Si Mubai's.

Si Mubai walked in, Jiuqi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Jiang Zhao asked curiously, "What is this?"

After reading it, Si Mubai handed the paper to her to read.

Jiang Zhao took it, opened it, and found that it was a house deed.

She looked at Si Mubai in surprise: "The deed, this..."

Si Mubai said: "A few days ago, my brother saw my sister-in-law's family eating chaff and swallowed vegetables, so I wanted to move out."

"I wanted to talk to Xiandi after the house was bought, but I didn't expect Xiandi to have this idea."

Jiang Zhao nodded: "Then when shall we move there?"

"Let's move it tomorrow. Anyway, there are carpenters working on the waterwheel. Let's come and have a look when it's finished." Si Mubai said.

"I don't know how Jiuqi went to find a carpenter in the city today?" Jiuqi didn't tell them about it when he came back.

Si Mubai went to call Jiuqi over and asked him how the carpenter's business was going.

Unexpectedly, Jiuqi took out those blueprints from his sleeve, and it seemed that he didn't find the carpenter.

The first thought in Jiang Zhao's mind was that it was the person who targeted them behind the scenes again.

But Jiuqi had already brought back the food, which meant that the people behind it didn't know that Jiuqi was with them.

Jiang Zhao frowned and took a few drawings, and asked, "Jiu Qi, what's going on?"

Jiu Qi scratched his head and said, "I didn't buy any materials, so I asked the carpenter, and they didn't have the materials needed for the waterwheel either."

"Why can't I buy materials?" Could it be that there is not enough money?
Jiuqi explained: "Today I went to some stores to ask. Some materials here are scarce in the Tianyu Dynasty. They are not sold in ordinary small stores. Only those big chambers of commerce will have them."

"Then I went to the Chamber of Commerce to ask again. All the materials in the Chamber of Commerce had to be obtained from other countries. We bought too little. People in the Chamber of Commerce felt that there was no profit to make, so they didn't accept it."

Jiang Zhao nodded, this situation was beyond her expectation.

It seems that the waterwheel should not be built in the near future.

She put the blueprint of the waterwheel back into the room, and felt a little guilty for not helping Sanniang's family and causing a lot of trouble for her family.

But they will move out from Sanniang's house tomorrow, thinking that the person who targeted them behind the scenes should not embarrass Sanniang's family anymore.

While talking, Sanniang came back from washing clothes by the river, saw several big bags in the courtyard, and asked curiously: "What are these?"

Jiu Qi Yi opened those bags and showed San Niang: "Sister-in-law, these are the grains I bought at the market today."

Seeing the white rice in the bag, instead of being happy, Sanniang was slightly angry: "There is still food at home, why are you wasting this money?"

Seeing that Sanniang was angry, Jiang Zhao pointed at Simubai and said, "Sister-in-law, it's all him, he bought these."

Then he rushed in front of Si Mubai, accusing him in a suit: "You, you, you, you, how can you waste money, these are all wasted money."

Si Mubai looked at her messing around with a smile in his eyes, and didn't refute, just said kindly: "It's my fault, I won't dare next time."

Jiang Zhao nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Sanniang and said, "Sister-in-law, you can see that he knew he was wrong."

Although Sanniang didn't say anything more, she turned her head and looked at the white rice, and kept talking about it distressedly.

Jiang Zhao and Simu Bai smiled, stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, we've been bothering you for so many days, so we'll leave tomorrow."

"What, you guys are leaving tomorrow?" Sanniang was a little shocked: "I live here well, why are you leaving all of a sudden?"

"Is there something you're not used to living in? Or not used to eating?"

Seeing her anxiously wanting to keep them behind, Jiang Zhao comforted her, "No, we don't even have a sister-in-law. We live here very well and eat very well."

"Then why are you leaving all of a sudden?" Sanniang didn't understand, she lived well, why was she leaving all of a sudden, she blamed all the reasons on her family's poor hospitality.

Jiang Zhao explained: "Sister-in-law, we are about to take the imperial examination, but there are many books here that are not available. We want to go to the city to read books for a few more days."

Sanniang nodded: "Since it's for the imperial examination, you should read more books. I'll cook more delicious food for you today."

"No sister-in-law, just eat whatever you want, just as usual."

But the third sister-in-law insisted on refusing to borrow a chicken from a neighbor's house.

This evening, when Zhang Yougen came home, he saw Sanniang setting up a large table of food. He thought it was Jiang Zhao and the others who wanted to eat, and didn't think much about it.

After changing clothes and going to the kitchen to help Sanniang cook together, only then did I know that Jiang Zhao and the others were leaving tomorrow.

In order to entertain Jiang Zhao and others, Zhang Yougen went to order a few more drinks.

During the dinner, Zhang Yougen and Sanniang Sanniang held up wine glasses to respect them: "The reception is not good these few days, I hope the young masters will forgive me."

Jiang Zhao and the others also raised their glasses: "Where is it, brother Dagen and sister-in-law have treated us very well."

For this evening's meal, Zhang Yougen's family put all the meat dishes on the table into the bowls of Jiang Zhao and the others.

Jiang Zhao and the others felt a little embarrassed when they ate, and the two elderly people in the family didn't eat much.

The few of them had no choice but to eat a few symbolic mouthfuls, and they were full.

After they left the banquet, Zhang Yougen's family really had dinner.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhao had to say with emotion: "The folk customs are simple."

Si Mubai on the side nodded: "Yes, these farmers are kind and honest people."

After washing up and returning to their rooms, Jiang Zhao put all the money he could touch under his pillow and left it to Sanniang and the others. After all, they can't really eat and drink here for nothing.

In the other room, Si Mubai did the same thing as her.
