Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 156 Lack of Money
The bullock cart slowed down when it arrived in front of a house.

The house here is not bad compared to the houses in the town. It is also a big brick house with green bricks, and it occupies a lot of land from the outside.

Jiang Dalang and the others knew that Fang Chun's family had a little property, so they were not surprised to see how big his house was.Jiang Dalang, who was driving the car, called out: "Brother Fang, your home is here."

"Oh good!"

Fang Chun jumped out of the bullock cart, and Jiang Erlang and others in the cart also jumped out of the cart to see him off.

Fang Chun cupped his hands to Jiang Dalang and the others and said, "Thank you for sending me back, why don't you go home and have a glass of water."

Jiang Dalang looked up at the moonlight and said: "No, it's getting late today, and I'm afraid we won't be able to see the way back if it gets later."

Fang Chun could only say: "Okay, then everyone, pay attention to safety on the way back, and I will invite you to my house for tea next time."

squeak~
The door was opened, and a boy who seemed to be only five or six years old rushed out, followed by a girl in a light yellow dress and a couple.

The boy Fang Heng said: "Brother, you are finally back."

"Just now, my sister said that I heard a voice outside, and I knew you were back when I heard it, so my sister and I came to pick you up."

The girl behind Fang Nian also called softly: "Brother."

Then, seeing Jiang Dalang and five people standing with Fang Chun, they smiled and saluted slightly.

Jiang Dalang quickly returned the gift, and the others followed suit.

Fang Chun introduced to them: "Those two are my parents, this is my younger sister Fang Nian and my younger brother Fang Heng, these are my good friends in school, this time they all passed the exam."

Hearing Fang Chun's introduction that these people all passed the examination of scholar, Fang's father looked at Jiang Dalang's faces and said in surprise: "I think these people look similar, so it could be that the brothers from the same family that Chun'er mentioned passed the examination at the same time. How many brothers do you have?"

Fang Chun answered with a smile: "It was they who I told my father about. Both the Jiang family brothers and the Wang family brothers have great talents."

Fang's father laughed and said: "It turns out that these are the little brothers. Since you have arrived in front of our Fang's house, everyone, come in and have a rest."

Jiang Dalang and the others declined again, bluntly saying that today is too late, and they will come to the door to disturb them another day.

After hearing that Jiang Dalang and his family live in Guhuai Village not far away, Fang's father no longer insisted, saying that he would visit Jiang Yuchao and the others another day and ask them how they raised so many talented children.

"Then Uncle Fang, Brother Fang, let's take our leave."

Jiang Erlang and the others boarded the ox cart again, and Jiang Dalang also sat on the shaft to bid farewell to the Fang family.

The place where Fang Nian was standing blocked the front of the bullock cart. She wanted to take two steps back to make way for the bullock cart, but she stepped on a rock and would fall forward as soon as her foot slipped.

If it goes down like this, it will be trampled by cattle.

Jiang Dalang quickly reined in the cow, jumped forward with his toes, grabbed Fang Nian's arm who was about to fall, and pulled her up.

"Miss Fang, be careful."

Jiang Dalang handed Fang Nian to the mother who was so frightened that she ran over, and reminded him softly.

Fang Nian thanked: "Thank you, I almost scared me just now."

"nothing."

Jiang Dalang sat on the shaft again and drove the ox cart on the road.

Fang Heng stopped and looked at Fang Nian at the end of the road, and said, "Sister, come back to your senses, they are all gone, let's go home soon."

There was nothing to see at the end of the road, Fang Nian was relieved to see that no one had noticed her gaffe just now, nodded and followed back.

On the bullock cart, Saburo laughed and joked: "Brother, you moved so fast just now, a hero to save the beauty~"

Jiang Dalang concentrated on looking at the road, and replied with a distraction: "What kind of hero saves the beauty, he just pulled a hand." When Jiang Dalang and others returned home, it was already dark, and Jiang Zhiyue had also returned home.

"Sanlang, come here." Jiang Zhiyue looked at Jiang Sanlang and said.

Jiang Sanlang hurried to Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"

"I already told Li Wen today that you should follow him for a period of time, but if you follow him to do things, you have to follow his arrangement. If you cry out for a while, I will bring you back directly. You Don't talk about it anymore, and you can't go home casually, have you thought about it?"

Jiang Sanlang hurriedly said: "I've made up my mind, sister, when will I go to find Li Wen?"

"Tomorrow, you can pack a few clothes with you today."

After Jiang Zhiyue finished speaking, she went back to the house. When the Jiang family heard that Sanlang was leaving tomorrow, they hurriedly tried to prepare things for him.

Jiang Zhiyue's voice came from inside the house: "Just bring a few clothes, it's not for him to go out for fun, so he doesn't need to bring so many things."

Mrs. Sun streamlined and streamlined, and in addition to clothes, he also put some scraps of silver and food that could be stored in his bag.

Jiang Sanlang happily said: "Mother, don't worry about it, go back to sleep."

"You kid, you have to be careful, mother doesn't want you to go out vertically and come back horizontally."

Mrs. Sun cried out as she learned the lesson, she was really worried that something bad would happen to Sanlang when he was away.

"Oh, mother, don't worry, my sister said that I have the best martial arts among our brothers. If you think about these, you might as well think about your son. I will be a general next time I come back. You are good!" Think about showing off when you go out and talk to the aunts in the village."

Sun looked at Sanlang and laughed: "You brat, let's see if you can return to the general. I will thank God if you don't come back without arms and legs!"

Saburo disapproved and yelled: "Mother, how can you not trust your son?"

"Okay, go to bed quickly, you don't know when you will be leaving tomorrow, and mother will make a good meal for you tomorrow morning."

After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she walked out of Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Silang's room with Jiang Yuqing who came with her.

Walking outside the door, Mrs. Sun patted Jiang Yuqing who was beside her and said, "Tell me, will our son really come back as a general?"

Jiang Yuqing glanced at her and said, "Didn't you just believe it?"

And Saburo in the house also muttered to Shiro after Sun and Jiang Yuqing left: "You don't think there is such a mother, I will leave tomorrow and hurt me."

"I also said that I will make a good meal for me tomorrow. Why does it sound so strange? Isn't it said in this story book that it is for people who are about to die?"

"Hey, then tell me if I can come back as a general."

Shiro rolled his eyes at Saburo and turned his back, "Just don't run back crying, otherwise you will have to ask Sister to fetch you, shame on you."

"Hey, you!"

Saburo rushed forward angrily, and the two brothers fought into a ball.

The next day, Mrs. Sun really cooked a table of Sanlang's favorite dishes, which was regarded as helping Sanlang to practice.

……

Before eating, Li Wen came to Jiang's house. He smelled the fragrance wafting up his nose, walked in with a silly smile and said, "Hey, I came here in a hurry. Miss Jiang, do you mind giving me a meal?"

Jiang Zhiyue smiled and called people in.

Yesterday Li Wen heard from Jiang Zhiyue that he would entrust Sanlang to him for a period of time.

He was eating the delicious food on the table, and said to Saburo: "Well, it's delicious, you should eat more, Saburo, there won't be so many delicious food after you follow me."

As soon as Li Wen said this, Mrs. Sun, who was eating at the table, asked concerned: "What? Sanlang won't be able to eat after following you?"

"Hey, how can this be done? I'll pack some food for you when you two leave later."

Li Wen quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, it's just that if you follow me, you may not be able to eat so well, but you can still eat."

Jiang Zhiyue listened to Li Wen's words and said: "Don't take it, Li Wen and the others can eat whatever Sanlang eats, if they can't bear this bit of suffering, then they have suffered a lot, how can Sanlang hold on. "

Mrs. Sun smiled awkwardly, and said, "That's why I won't take it."

The old lady Jiang looked at Li Wen and said with concern: "Boy Li Wen, isn't Xiao Ming's bookstore able to make a lot of money? Why can't you eat well?"

"Is it because that boy Amin gave you too little monthly money?"

"If this is the case, Grandma Jiang has to talk to him well when she sees him again. Those of you who help him with things, you can't eat enough."

Li Wen was so shocked that he almost choked to death with a mouthful of food stuck in his throat.

He defended Ouyang Ming and said: "No, no, our master gives us a lot of monthly money, but there are also many places to spend, and the master is also very difficult. Grandma Jiang, don't blame the master."

If the master knew that the Jiang family had misunderstood him because of him, they would definitely reward him.

Mrs. Jiang was still worried. The people under Ouyang Ming couldn't get enough to eat, so that boy Ouyang Ming wouldn't be able to get enough to eat either.

She said: "Our family still has some spare money, Zhiyue, why don't you write to A Ming and ask him, let's lend him some of the money for emergency. '
Jiang Zhiyue saw that the topic was getting more and more crooked, Li Wen looked regretful, and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Grandma, you just put our family's money away."

Li Wen glanced at Jiang Zhiyue gratefully, and quickly ate his meal.

After dinner, Saburo carried his burden on his back, and left Jiang's house together with Jiang Zhiyue and Li Wen.The three of them walked towards the town without driving the ox cart.

Saburo asked: "Sister, where are we going?"

"Go to the town, buy a few servants, and check to see if there are any shops for rent."

Jiang Zhiyue turned to Li Wen and asked bluntly, "Is Ouyang Ming short of money?"

Li Wen originally wanted to say that there was no shortage, but looking at Jiang Zhiyue's expression, he could only say: "The master wants to do big things, and the money in his hand is spent like running water. In fact, there is a little shortage of money."

"But it's really only a little bit, Miss Jiang, our master is not poor, but all the property is left in the border general's mansion and cannot be taken out. The general's mansion is now occupied by doves and magpies. I don't know how much money there will be in it by then. .”

Jiang Zhiyue asked: "Who has the dove occupy the magpie's nest?"

Li Wen snorted and said: "It's the fourth prince's natal family, and the general who is stationed at the border now belongs to their family, but he can't be called a general because he got his official position through the fourth prince and Concubine Rong."
