Mrs. Huang took Qian back to Donghaiju.

As soon as she entered the house, she said to Qian: "From now on, your parents will look down on the banker."

"Without Master Ji, Qin Yue alone would have to be looked down upon by them."

"I believe those three idiots won't be able to do anything unless they restrain themselves."

Qian laughed and said, "My three snobbish brothers, if they find out about this, they will definitely go back to settle accounts with them. Good times are waiting for them."

"Yes. In the past, they used their power to prevent your brother from taking concubines, but they won't be able to do anything about it in the future."

"If they are good, I don't agree with my brothers taking concubines. Monogamy is a good thing, and the family home is peaceful."

"Girl Qin is not afraid of heaven and earth. She is also like this when Mr. Ji comes. Sometimes she will give him a few words of support. Tell me, you are a good third-grade official, why are you here?"

"Are you afraid that's what that person meant?"

The old lady shook her head: "If he knew Madam Qin, he would definitely issue an order. There has been no movement until now. It should be the intention of Qin Yatou and Minsheng Pharmacy."

"Mom, there is still more than a month before my sister's wedding. I want to go home and see the children. I will be back before June [-]th."

"I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss them too. How about I go back with you?"

"Okay, just a good companion."

Mrs. Huang and Mr. Qian greeted Qin Yue and left the village early the next morning, taking two carts of the dealer's goods with them.

Ji Mingtang worked hard and got the things with satisfaction.

When he left, he left behind 1 taels of silver notes. Shitou felt that the banknotes were with his wife, just like papyrus.

Yang Shaohua's family didn't know about the banker's activities. They were busy recruiting students.

The first enrollment was good. They were all seven or eight-year-old children with no education and from well-to-do families.

A total of twenty students were recruited, and each student was paid [-] yuan a month. They did not go home to take care of meals at noon, which was cheaper than in the town.

The students are all from the surrounding villages. Coming to his place is not only cheap but also close.

There were several children from Shanshui Village. Their parents originally wanted to send them to the town, but they thought Yang Shaohua had a bad character and had taught the children badly.

But the town was too far away, and they were busy doing business and couldn't pick her up. So they had to send her to Yang's private school for a trial first. If she didn't do well, it wouldn't be too late to go elsewhere.

Yang Shu and Zhou became cooks, and it must be said that the old couple followed Yang Shaohua wholeheartedly.

They pinned all their hopes on Sanfang.

As for the big house and the second house, just pretend they don't exist and just treat them with filial piety.

As soon as he accepted the students, Yang Qingyun proposed to study in the county academy. Yang Shaohua calculated his money and readily agreed.

After all, he also wanted his son to be good, not only to be a child student, but also to be a scholar, and even to be promoted to a scholar, to become an official in the court.

So, he asked his classmates for help and let Yang Qingyun enter the best Qingfeng Academy in the county.

Of course, this money is not wasted.

Since Yang Qingyun recovered from his leg, he has really worked hard and studied hard. After knowing Shitou's ranking, he became even more crazy about surpassing him.

It is impossible to just study at home.

Qin Yue thought the same way. She wanted Shitou to go out and see the world and people's hearts. She couldn't keep him at home all the time.

This matter must be left to Ji Mingtang.

Not to mention, not long after, Ji Mingtang came to the banker again under this banner.

The weather was hot, and as soon as he entered the house, he drank cold mung bean soup.

"Yeah, you have an ice kiln at home?"

"Drink, there's so much going on."

"I've done all the things you asked me to do for you. Just treat me to a meal."

Shitou sat next to his wife: "It's too hot and I'm too lazy to cook. Can I have some cold noodles?"

"eat."

Ji Mingtang dared to say that he wouldn't eat it, and the cold noodles were gone.

At this time, Qin Yue's belly had protruded and she had become lazy.

"Is it the best academy in Fucheng?"

"It's necessary. Hanlin Academy, anyone who dares to give this name is a great person."

"Well, I don't worry about you doing business."

"Sell me twenty more of your drunken fragrant pills?"

Qin Yue snorted softly: "When things are done, you get benefits. Is this the style of parents' officials?"

"Don't think too highly of me. I don't give or take bribes. I just care about the people. Besides, I am also an ordinary person. Besides, I am not here to be a county magistrate."

Qin Yue got up, returned to the bedroom, took out two porcelain bottles from the space, and returned to the living room holding her waist. "Bring the silver."

Ji Mingtang slapped the banknotes on the table, picked up two porcelain bottles, opened them, smelled them, and then put them in his arms.

"That person sent someone to deliver a message. He wants to see you and help him take a look at your body."

"Isn't the poison cured?"

"It's okay, but he's not worried."

"No time, he has your father there."

"Okay, I'll just tell you to go to Yunyou."

Shitou brought over three bowls of noodles, along with a few side dishes, set out the bowls and chopsticks, and then helped Qin Yue to the table.

Ji Mingtang also ran over and sat down. He watched Qin Yue pick up the chopsticks before he moved them.

"Well, this cold noodle is so delicious, brother, you can't say enough about your cooking skills."

While I was having lunch, someone seemed to be making noise on the village road, and the sound was very loud, which reached the house.

Qin Yue didn't care, they just kept eating. Unfortunately, before they finished eating, the door rang.

After disturbing his wife's meal, Shitou was so angry that he walked outside the house, holding a stick in his hand, intending to teach the troublemaker a lesson.

When he opened the courtyard door and saw the scene, he was stunned.

It turned out to be Mrs. Xiang. She was twisting Zhuang Dashan and was crying.

Shitou slammed the stick to the ground and shouted at Mrs. Xiang, "Mom, are you still shameless?"

When Xiang saw him, her face immediately showed ecstasy.

"Son, I heard that you won the lottery with Tong Sheng, and I will be Tong Sheng's mother from now on."

"Mom, what were you doing just now?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiang became angry.

"Son, please tell me. When your father married me, he didn't have a penny, but when he married that vixen, he gave me a dowry of twenty cents. Why?"

"That was prepared by my wife. Dad only has a dozen taels in hand."

"I don't care who prepared it, but he gave it to that vixen anyway. If I want to get married, I must make up for my previous betrothal gift. I gave birth to a child for him."

Shitou's hands were trembling with anger. This mother was making trouble unreasonably, and she regretted letting her daughter-in-law save her in the first place.

"Mom, this boy was taught by my wife and has nothing to do with the banker."

"I don't care, you have to compensate me somewhat."

Shi Shi gritted his teeth: "How much do you plan to ask for?"

"Not much, just twenty dowry gifts, the same as the vixen's."

Qin Yue stood at the door and hummed slightly, making Xiang's heart tremble, but she gritted her teeth and held on.

Ji Mingtang held the rice bowl, eating, watching and talking.

"Is this Shitou's biological mother?"

"Well, I was wondering, are these days ever over?"

"After all, as long as you have evidence, I will put her in jail. I will release her when you say."

Qin Yue grinned and smiled.

evidence?Of course there is, she looked at Xiang.

"This is the parent officer of Weiyuan County, Master Ji. Do you want to hand over that evidence to him?"

Mrs. Xiang screamed: "I didn't do that. You wrote the paperwork in advance and forced me to sign it. I didn't. How could I harm others? You just wanted to drive me out of the banker, so you made this happen." .”

"Oh? Then arrest Mrs. Zhou and interrogate her together. I believe that the Yamen Board will make you tell the truth."

Ji Mingtang quickly scraped up the noodles and finished the soup.

He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth and said:
"Ms. Qin is right. In my hands, there is no one who will not tell the truth. Do you want to have a taste of the board?"

"You have gone too far to bully others. I, Mr. Xiang, swear to God that I have never done anything immoral. It was all because of you who forced me to do so."

Zhuang Dashan took the opportunity to break free from her hands and ran to the stone.

"Son, it's a lie that she wants a betrothal gift, but it's true that she wants to mess up my marriage with Baorong."

Hu Hai came over from the opposite side. He saluted Mr. Ji, then looked at Mr. Xiang and shook his head in disgust.

"If you make trouble again, I, as the village chief, will exercise my rights. I will sell you the homestead and take it back. I will even drive you out of the village."

"It's impossible. We have all built houses and have the property deeds in our hands."

Ji Mingtang said: "I have the final say and will give you the price of the house. I believe that many people are rushing to buy the house in Shanshui Village. Village Chief Hu can really drive your family out of the village."
