Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

The street where Jiang Zhiyue and Ming Yuanqing are now has the most bookstores and tea shops, and there are two private schools, and it is relatively quiet on weekdays.

It's just that this new script has been published in the bookstore in the past few days, which has created this look of being crowded.

The two walked in the direction of another street.

The other street is mostly shops. At this time, the street is bustling with people who come out to buy for the Chinese New Year.

On the bustling street in the past, red lanterns were hung in front of the shops on both sides of the road, looking beaming.

The other street was crowded with people, even more so than in front of the bookstore just now.

Naturally, Jiang Zhiyue did not find Mrs. Zhang and the others, but she met Bai Yifeng.

Bai Yifeng was wandering on the street, looking left and right, looking like he was looking for someone.Seeing Jiang Zhiyue and Ming Yuanqing, he immediately ran over.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Zhiyue asked, "Is everything done?"

Bai Yifeng answered with a smile, telling the truth: "Well, write to my master, the old man, and find out where he is now."

Jiang Zhiyue asked curiously: "That master of your former national teacher?"

Bai Yifeng gave an affirmative answer.

As for Bai Yifeng's master, Jiang Zhiyue had heard of him when Bai Yifeng wanted to touch Ci to stay by her side, but she had never seen him.

Jiang Zhiyue snorted and reminded: "Then don't forget to settle your protection fee."

Bai Yifeng is autistic, don't disturb!
Jiang Zhiyue glanced at him with a smile, and didn't mention it again.

"Have you seen my mother?"

Bai Yifeng shook his head, he had just delivered the news and came to the street when he ran into Jiang Zhiyue and the others.

The three had no choice but to wander around the street to see if they could meet Mrs. Zhang and the others by chance.

The town was not big or small, and the three of them walked along the street for a while, and saw two ox carts, one of which had a carriage.

As for the bullock cart without carriages, a lot of things had been piled up at this time, and Jiang Yuqing was watching beside the bullock cart.

The rest of the people are not there, they should be shopping in a nearby shop.

Jiang Zhiyue and the others walked towards Jiang Yuqing.

On the way, the Zhang family came back to deliver things, and then took Jiang Zhiyue and Ming Yuanqing to the tailor shop to choose clothes.

Mrs. Zhang chose red jackets for Jiang Zhiyue, Ming Yuanqing, and Zhang Xiaoyan, saying they looked festive.The others also bought new year's clothes, and the clothes were more or less stained with red.

Seeing that a lot of money in their hands was spent, Zhang, Sun and Huang Huaihua all took a deep breath.

There are too many people in the family, and the expenses required are also high. After the turn of the year, I still have to find some jobs that can supplement the family.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you have in your hand, it will be empty.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang planned to go back and discuss with Jiang Yuchao about teaching privately in the town for the past few years.

By the time everything is bought, it will already be afternoon.

The temperature had warmed up a bit and dropped again, Jiang Zhiyue and the others hurriedly got on the bullock cart and set foot on the journey back.

Today is New Year's Eve, and those who stayed at home in Jiang's family also posted Spring Festival couplets on the door.

Jiang Yuchao and Bai Yifeng wrote the couplets of the Jiang family and the Wang family one day in advance, and they could post them directly on New Year's Eve.

Couplets representing good expectations were pasted on the brand-new door frame, and there were two red lanterns hanging outside the door, fluttering in the cold wind.

And Jiang Zhiyue and the others returned to Guhuai Village at this time.

There were a few small groups of people around the small road in the village, with a brazier burning in the middle, and everyone formed a circle with the brazier as the center, warming up and chatting.

Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang Kangde, and Mr. Wang were among the group of older people, sitting on a small wooden board on the floor chatting.

There are Saburo and the others playing beside them.

The two ox carts wandered into the village like this.

An elderly woman pointed to the direction where the ox cart was coming, and said to the old lady Jiang beside her, "Is that because the shopper from your town has returned?"

Mrs. Jiang looked up, and said with a smile: "It's really those of my family, let's not talk about it, I will pick them up."

Mr. Jiang and the others also stood up one by one, and walked towards home with their hands behind their backs.

The rest of the people didn't move, they sat around the brazier and watched the direction the bullock cart was leaving.

When the bullock cart gradually moved away, the group of people found their voices.

"The Jiang family and the Wang family are really enviable, and I don't worry about whether I won't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes."

"Isn't it? Except for the village chief's family, these two are the most ostentatious families in our Guhuai Village."

Everyone was chatting and laughing around this group. Although they were talking about the Jiang family, they didn't look very jealous.

Someone said with a smile: "My family is also thanks to them. I saved a little more money a year ago, and yesterday I made that kid in my family cut off his flesh."

"Haha, mine too."

Everyone laughed, and the laughter drifted far away, making the cool wind warmer.

On the other side, the ox cart first stopped in front of Wang's house, and his house's things were piled up outside, and after unloading, they rushed back to Jiang's yard.

Jiang's house has two doors, one is on the side of the residents, and the other is in the yard separated from it.

In the yard, a long strip of cowshed was simply covered with straw and oilcloth, where the bullock carts were usually placed.

After returning home, Mrs. Zhang couldn't wait to ask Jiang Zhiyue if she had heard any news in the town.

Naturally, it was news from Zhangjia Village or the Zhang family.

Jiang Zhiyue comforted the agitated Zhang and Zhang Xiaoyan.

She said: "Mother, don't worry, I entrusted this matter to A Ming, if I find someone, he will definitely send a message."

Mrs. Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded in response.

In everyone's mind, although Ouyang Ming is a son in trouble, he is still different after all.

With his help in this matter, the possibility of finding someone is even greater.

Old Mrs. Jiang asked, "Xiao Ming is here? Why didn't you call home? Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and there are so many people." Jiang Zhiyue talked about meeting Li Wen in the town.

Then, she remembered the thick envelope that Li Wen brought, and took it out of her arms.Jiang Zhiyue said: "This is from Li Wen, and it contains the money for the script."

With that said, Jiang Zhiyue took the initiative to open the envelope.

No wonder the envelope was so thick. There were two things inside. A dozen banknotes were folded in half and stuffed into the envelope.

Tongbao Bank is the largest bank in Wu Dynasty.

Jiang Zhiyue knew that the master behind Tongbao Bank was the family of the fourth prince's mother and concubine on the surface, but in fact, the real master was the fourth prince's mother and concubine Rong Guifei.

Concubine Rong's mother's family is the Ma family, but it's a pity that Ma Rong is the only descendant of the Ma family who has the ability to become one of the women of the emperor of Wu Dynasty, and even sat on the position of noble concubine.

The remaining members of the Ma family, few of them were truly capable, and all of them were promoted by Concubine Rong, whose status depended entirely on the harem.

Jiang Zhiyue also knew that the Fourth Prince and Concubine Rong supported many private soldiers by relying on this bank.Besides the bank note, there was actually a smaller envelope inside the envelope.

There are four elegant big characters of "Zhiyue kisses" written on it.

Everyone in Jiang's family is not pedantic, they can read some characters more or less, and they don't pay attention to the saying that "a woman without talent is virtue."

Even Mrs. Jiang can recognize her own name and the spelling of the names of many people in her family.

Coincidentally, everyone recognizes the four characters 'Zhiyue Qinqi'.

Everyone looked at the smaller envelope with curiosity in their eyes.

But Zhiyue's personal letter was written on it, and everyone was embarrassed to ask Jiang Zhiyue to open it up and show them what was written inside.

Jiang Yu glanced at the envelope in Jiang Zhiyue's hand.

He said with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "It seems that Zhiyue has a good relationship with that kid."

A few people felt that Jiang Yuchao's words were a bit weird.

But Jiang Zhiyue didn't hear it, she didn't take this matter to heart, and opened the envelope directly.

There are only two thin pages inside, and the handwriting on it is elegant and extraordinary.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't avoid people, she just held it in her hand and looked at it.

Jiang Yuchao sat by her side, just in time to read the contents of the letter.

He cast his unnatural eyes on the letter paper very naturally.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

It wrote all the things about Ouyang Ming's taken away from here, and also said some seemingly insignificant things about his daily life.

At the end, I also greeted everyone present in a friendly manner.

Jiang Zhiyue felt that there was nothing to say before, so he said the greetings to everyone written by Ouyang Ming later, and his apology for not being able to come back for a visit during the New Year's Eve.

Seeing that the letter paper was only two thin pages, there was really nothing there, so everyone turned their curious eyes away.After withdrawing their eyes, everyone turned their eyes to the stack of bank notes.

Jiang Zhiyue unfolded all the bank notes, some were worth [-] taels, and some were worth [-] taels.There are all kinds of one thousand three hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the silver and gave it to Mrs. Jiang without thinking.

There are no divisions in the family, and all the money earned will naturally be collected by the head of the family.

Originally, on the way to escape from famine, in order to prevent money from being lost, everyone agreed to store most of the family property in Jiang Zhiyue's little treasure box.

After arriving here and settling down at home, all the accounts to be settled were cleared up, and then handed over to Mrs. Jiang.What is left in Jiang Zhiyue's hands is naturally her private property.

For example, the gold, silver and jewels obtained by the monkey group in the forest are thanks for saving the little girl of the Liang family.

And the money that the Mu family thanked them for bringing the Mu family father and daughter back safely, and the money that the Ming family gave them to take care of Ming Yixi and Ming Yuanqing's brother and sister were all from Mrs. Jiang.

But this time, Mrs. Jiang didn't take the money that Jiang Zhiyue handed over.
