After another ten days of driving, the group arrived at Daizhou.
The servants from the Jiang family who came from the capital were somewhat acclimated, and as they were always on the road, Pan's mother and the others were unable to support them.
There is also the child Wei Yu. He was originally ill and has not recovered these days.
Sang's mother discussed with Jiang Nuan to rest in Daizhou for two more days so that everyone could recuperate before continuing on their way.
Jiang Nuan was kind-hearted and naturally agreed.
He led them to the medicine shop and asked the doctor sitting in the hall to check their pulse and prescribe medicine. Then they took them back to the inn and boiled the medicine themselves in the fire room.
Two days before arriving in Daizhou, Jiang Nuan did not go to Lion Bridge.
She didn't take the five taels of silver to heart at first, thinking that no matter who she was, she would encounter difficulties. Even if she asked for the five taels of silver, she would give it to her.
But on the third day of her stay, she felt a little uneasy.
Nothing else. I was thinking about what if that person had been waiting at Lions Bridge and refused to leave until he saw me.
Jiang Nuan saves others by herself. If she has no choice but to borrow five taels of silver from others, she will return it to them no matter what. Five taels of silver is not much, but it is a matter of character.
Jiang Nuan would rather believe that what she met was not a thief, but a desperate good man.
In this case, if I don't go, I'm afraid this person will regret it for the rest of his life.
Maybe you will carry the guilt with you until you die.
Jiang Nuan thought that when that person was dying in his old age, he was still thinking about paying back the five taels of silver. Before he died, he told his children and grandchildren to find the person who lent him the money, otherwise he would not be able to survive even if he left.
Close your eyes.
If this is the case, instead of helping others, I will actually harm them.
Jiang Nuan was so entangled in this matter that she lost sleep at night.
She thought about it and realized that she had agreed at first, so she might as well go!
The inn they stayed in was not far from Lions Bridge, about two or three miles away.
Jiang Nuan climbed out of the window this time. When he landed, he knocked his knee and felt some pain.
She didn't dare to say anything for fear of disturbing others.
It was already the second half of the moon, and the moonlight was very unclear. Fortunately, the river water still reflected the light slightly, but from a distance, you could only see the blurry outline of the Lion Bridge, and it was impossible to see whether there was anyone there.
But as soon as Jiang Nuan arrived at the bridge, as soon as she turned around, someone came behind her.
She wanted to turn around, but was pressed against her back by an unsheathed dagger.
"Don't be afraid, it's still me." The man's voice was particularly clear in the dark night. Jiang Nuan only heard a few words from him, but the impression was very deep.
"I came here to tell you that it's okay to pay back the five taels of silver if you want." Jiang Nuan felt a little uncomfortable, not because of anything else, but because the man was still holding a dagger against her.
"Girl, I'm really sorry. I really should pay you back the five taels of silver, but now I'm in trouble again." The man's tone was hesitant.
"I said, forget it if you don't pay. Who hasn't been in trouble yet?" Jiang Nuan felt that this person was pretty good at this time. Although he couldn't pay back the money, he would still explain it to himself.
Glutinous rice
No, so I didn't come to the appointment, leaving myself in vain.
"Girl, you are such a rare kind person." The man's cold voice seemed to have a little warmth, "I'm afraid I'll offend you again, so give me all the money you have left!"
"Ah?" Jiang Nuan thought she heard wrongly, "What do you mean? Are you going to rob me again?"
"That's right what the girl said," the man did not deny, "Please make it easier for me, girl!"
What else could Jiang Nuan say? Can anyone else blame this? He can only blame himself for being stupid.
He actually imagined that the man had no choice but to become a thief.
Who wants to be familiar with someone once and twice, and now he has become a habitual offender.
Jiang Nuan simply took off the money bag and threw it on the ground. The man didn't say anything, picked up the money bag and disappeared into the night.
Jiang Nuan stood at the bridge, feeling very depressed.
At this moment, she just felt that she was the stupidest person in the world.
"Oh, knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach! If you say this, people will laugh to death." Jiang Nuan shook his head helplessly, "Just think of spending money to buy a lesson!"
They stayed in Daizhou for the next few days, but Jiang Nuan had no intention of going outside and just locked himself in his room every day.
After Pan's mother and the others were almost recovered, they continued their journey to the capital.
The further we go towards the capital, the warmer the weather becomes, and the scenery along the way becomes more beautiful.
Looking at the beautiful scenery around him, Jiang Nuan's mood improved little by little.
Later, she met Xu Chunjun at the inn, and they felt like old friends. The weather was particularly bad those few days, and it kept raining, so they did not rush.
When the rain stopped, Jiang Nuan and Xu Chunjun entered Beijing together. They were talking and laughing on the way. It was the happiest time for her along the way.
In early April, Jiang Nuan and his party finally entered the capital and arrived at the Jiang family.
Meng, Jiang Qing and Jiang Hui had been waiting at the second gate for a long time. When they heard that Jiang Nuan's carriage had arrived, Meng came to the gate with her two children.
Jiang Nuan felt a little uneasy. She didn't know what kind of temperament this stepmother had. Could she and her get along, as well as her two half-brothers and sisters?
Unexpectedly, Meng was extremely gentle and affectionate. As soon as they met, she took Jiang Nuan's hand and said, "I have been looking forward to you for so many years! I have official business in the Yamen today and am very busy, so I didn't
At home, I specifically told me that I must settle you down well. You must not go outside, this is your home. Do whatever you want, just say it. If you go out, I don’t know what to do.
How's that for you?"
Jiang Qing and Jiang Hui were also very polite to Jiang Nuan, calling her sister affectionate.
Jiang Nuan felt relieved a little, thinking that what Pan's mother and the others said was true.
After entering the house, Jiang Nuan took out all the greeting gifts that her aunt and uncle had prepared for her.
Meng and others were very polite and said: "Your aunt and others are too polite. In fact, it should be us who give more gifts to others. When you grew up to a teenager there, everything you ate and used was from other people's products."
.We have always felt guilty about it, but since it was my aunt's wish, we were disrespectful and accepted it."
Jiang Nuan is a straight-tempered person, how could he be so oblique? Meng and others did a very good job of showing off, so Jiang Nuan naturally believed them and really thought they were good people.
When Jiang Nuan was resting, Jiang Qing curled her lips and said to her mother: "This country girl looks good, but her behavior is a bit vulgar. She has a rustic feel all over her body, but it was prepared by her aunt's house.
The gift is not light. It’s just a pity that the style is a bit clumsy.”
The meeting gifts that Yu Hanying prepared for Meng and others were all gold jewelry. Although the style was not fashionable, it was better than the size.
