Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 159
When Jiang Zhiyue rushed to the end of the village with a group of people, the Jiang family had just finished the thatched cottage.

Mrs. Jiang, standing at the door and looking towards the entrance of the village, saw Jiang Zhiyue come back and said in surprise, "Zhiyue is back!"

Jiang Zhiyue smiled and ran to Mrs. Jiang: "Grandma, I'm back."

Mrs. Jiang looked at the few people brought back by Jiang Zhiyue, and then thought of the five young adults who came back first with Saburo at noon today.

"You're exhausted today, why do you want to buy someone?"
"Our family is busy with things, and everyone is very tired all day long. I just want to buy a few cooks and people to help with things, so that you can relax too."

Mrs. Sun came over and interjected: "Oh, you are still very smart, our family will definitely be able to save a lot of money by having these servants."

A group of people followed in and joined the newly bought nine servants.

After entering the courtyard, the Jiang family members stood on the steps, the four elders of the Jiang family sat on stools, and the servants stood in a row in the yard.

Jiang Zhiyue first introduced Tian Qiu's family and Chen Quan to his family.

Then he looked at the five people who had been bought back to look after the home and do chores in the nursing home, and said, "What are the names of the five of you?"

Those people said their names all over again, and there were three people called donkey eggs and dog eggs, which were ugly and messy.

Jiang Zhiyue changed their names for them, from oldest to youngest, they were called Jiang Yi, Jiang Er, Jiang San, Jiang Si and Jiang Wu respectively.

After finishing speaking, it was like those servants introduced all the people in Jiang's house, so that they didn't even know the people in the master's house.

"There are a lot of chores at home, the five of you mainly help out with the work first, Tian Qiu and Chen Quan, the two of you, the food at home will be handed over to you in the future, there is no shortage of food in the house, and if you have nothing, come to me to withdraw money Go to town and buy.'

"As for Huang Yuan, you should follow the young masters at home first. They study on weekdays, and you should follow them to do things."

Jiang Zhiyue and these people arranged a circle without calling out Huang Ji's name. When Jiang Zhiyue stopped, Huang Ji asked, "Can you arrange any errands for me?"

Jiang Zhiyue said: "Your injury is still not healed, and you still have a high fever. I will give you a few days to recuperate, and then do things after you recover."

"Yes."

There are three thatched huts temporarily built outside, one for Huang Ji's family of three, and the remaining two for Chen Quan and six other people.

When these people came, they didn't salute anything, so they didn't bring anything.

It was only when Jiang Zhiyue noticed that the clothes they were wearing were still worn out, so she planned to write down the sizes of their clothes before going to the town to buy uniform clothes tomorrow.

Now she asked Tian Qiu and Chen Quan to cook, and the others didn't wait for Jiang Zhiyue to order, and they would take the initiative to do whatever they saw.

Mrs. Zhang took the two of them to the kitchen in the backyard. There were three pots in the kitchen. Food, vegetables and meat were basically neatly stacked in a closet not far from the kitchen.

When they first came to Jiang's house, they both tried their best to cook, hoping to prove their abilities.After a meal in the evening, everyone covered their hair and went back to the room with their stomach full.

Before Tian Qiu and Chen Quan left the kitchen, they cleaned the stove and the floor carefully before closing the door and leaving.Those five people also cleaned the yard clean, and put all the sundries in the utility room or by the wall, which made everyone in the Jiang family feel a little uncomfortable.

Before going to bed, Jiang Zhiyue gave them a ruler to let them measure the size of their clothes, and asked Jiang Erlang to write it down.

Because Li Wen had already gone to the camp on the mountain, and Sanlang also came back to Jiang's house at noon, Jiang Zhiyue didn't let him go to the mountain again today.

On the second day, Li Wen went down the mountain to look for Jiang Zhiyue again. The main purpose of going down the mountain was to deliver the letter.

Late last night, Ouyang Ming's letter from the capital arrived.

Jiang Zhiyue handed Sanlang to Li Wen, and then returned to her room with the letter.

What Li Wen handed to Jiang Zhiyue were two bamboo tubes, the bamboo tubes were not big, Jiang Zhiyue opened them and took out a few pieces of letter paper.

The content in one of the bamboo tubes was Ouyang Ming's response to Jiang Zhiyue's last letter.

The letter told her to do whatever she wanted, but he never asked why Jiang Zhiyue had the confidence to get so much food when the entire Wu Dynasty was short of food.

Jiang Zhiyue once wrote about food in a letter, saying that she had a way to get food, and planned to open a Yimin grain store in the territory of the Wu Dynasty to adjust the price of food to a normal level.

And what Jiang Zhiyue needs Ouyang Ming to do is to be the master of the food store on the surface, she only needs to hide in the back and provide food.

Ouyang Ming said that he had sent someone over for Jiang Zhiyue to send.

The letter in another bamboo tube was about Ouyang Ming's recent stay in Beijing.

His whole family has been reunited. Although they can't leave Beijing, the whole family is considered complete.At the end of the letter, Ouyang Ming also questioned everyone in the Jiang family.

Although he is in Beijing, he has already inquired about the results of the college examination that passed not long ago.Knowing that Sanlang was actually a scholar who passed the exam once, he mentioned in the letter that Jiang Zhiyue should hand Sanlang to Li Wen first, and Sanlang should also know about the things on the mountain.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help laughing, and had to say that the two of them had a good understanding, and they coincided with Sanlang's arrangement.

After lunch, Jiang Zhiyue called Jiang Si, who could drive a car, to go to town with her.

When they arrived in town, Jiang Zhiyue took Jiang Si straight to the tailor shop.

She handed over the sizes of Chen Quan and other nine people to the shopkeeper, and one of them ordered two summer dresses.For easy identification, Jiang Zhiyue bought them clothes of the same style.

The members of the Jiang family were not short of clothes, so Jiang Zhiyue didn't buy any. She came to the town today to rent another small courtyard for food storage.

When Ouyang Ming's men arrive, Jiang Zhiyue can put all the food in the small courtyard in advance, and then ask his subordinates to pull it.

She went to the same dental shop, and the dental man was very impressed with this girl who just bought a shop and a house for several hundred taels of silver yesterday.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyue coming again, the idle tooth man smiled and said, "What do you want to see today, a shop or a house?"

Jiang Zhiyue asked: "Is there a relatively secluded small courtyard?"

The dental man walked out of the counter and asked, "It's a secluded yard, what size house does the girl want?"

Jiang Zhiyue thought for a while and said, "Two or three rooms are enough, and the yard doesn't need to be too big, but it would be better if there are fewer residents around."

Listening to Jiang Zhiyue's request, Yaren pointed to the two courtyards on the drawing paper and said, "These two courtyards should meet the girl's requirements."

"This first yard is also closer to the shop the girl bought yesterday, and it's on the same street behind the shop as the third yard."

"And the second yard is more secluded. There are fewer residents on that street, and that yard is also at the end of the alley."

"Where is the girl in the picture, I will ask someone to take you to see it. If the girl wants to see both places, I can accompany you."

Jiang Zhiyue carefully looked at the two yards pointed out by Yaren, and asked him to take him to see them.

The yard they went to first was the one near the house that Jiang Zhiyue bought yesterday.

That street is full of big houses with two entrances and three entrances, but there is not enough space, so this small courtyard was built in the end.

There are many residents on this street, and most of them have certain identities. Before Jiang Zhiyue went to see the courtyard, she denied it in her heart.

This yard is used to transport food back and forth, and the large number of people here is a disadvantage.

So after taking a look, Jiang Zhiyue asked Yaren to take her to another yard three blocks away from here.

That courtyard was just as the toothman said, and the surrounding area was very quiet.

The houses here are basically in a corner, and what happens in front of your house will not be seen by your neighbors.

Moreover, the alley aisles here are not narrow, even if you pass a carriage, you can drive two carriages side by side at the same time.

Jiang Zhiyue was very satisfied, so she went back to the tooth shop and bought the small courtyard.

After the land deed was transferred, Jiang Zhiyue asked Jiang Si to take her to buy some meat and vegetables, and then drove towards the village.

The road from the town to the village is going through a dense forest.

As soon as the ox cart drove into this small forest, Jiang Zhiyue heard shouts coming from the forest.

It was a gentle female voice, "Come on, help! Is there anyone!"

There was another voice that sounded with this voice, still a girl's voice.

Jiang Zhiyue lifted the curtain of the car to slow down Jiang Si. After a while, the voice became clearer, accompanied by many unbearable male voices.

Jiang Si hesitated and said: "Master, why don't we go directly, there should be a lot of people on the other side, and I'm afraid I can't beat it alone."

The intermittent voices also let Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Si almost understand what happened.

It turned out that the two girls were stopped by a group of local gangsters when they passed by, and they wanted to rob the money, but they didn't even let the two girls go.

From Jiang Si's point of view, the master of his family also looks like a fairy, if those people who rob money and sex are seen, they will have to go out of their way.

So Jiang Si directly said that he couldn't beat him, partly because of Jiang Zhiyue's safety.

The people opposite heard that there were a lot of people, even though he knew two things, he didn't dare to show off his might in front of so many people.

But it was too late to leave, because the two women who were running and shouting had already reached this path, followed by a few rather wretched-looking people who bared their teeth and claws.

The two women were overjoyed to see someone, and ran towards the bullock cart.And one of the two women is Fang Nian.

She saw an ox cart in the middle of the road, and the driver was a man, so she wanted to get in the car with her friend beside her and ask the man to drive away quickly to get rid of the people behind.

"Young master, let us take a ride, and we will be thankful when we dump the people behind us."

Jiang Si naturally wanted to listen to Jiang Zhiyue, so he turned around and asked her opinion.

Jiang Zhiyue said: "Let them come up."

As soon as Jiang Zhiyue opened her mouth to speak, Fang Nian and another woman spotted her, and they were slightly surprised to see Jiang Zhiyue's outstanding appearance.

The two ran to the bullock cart and quickly climbed up, looking at the men who were about to catch up behind them.

The woman who came with Fang Nian was so heartbroken that she deliberately bumped into Jiang Zhiyue's direction, trying to knock Jiang Zhiyue off the bullock cart to buy time for them to escape.
