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 large blue brick house with tiles. From the outside, it occupies a large area.
Jiang Dalang and the others knew that Fang Chun's family had a modest income, 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."
"Hey good!"
Fang Chun jumped out of the bullock cart, and Jiang Erlang and others in the cart also jumped out to see him off.
Fang Chun raised his hands to Jiang Dalang and others and said, "Thank you all for sending me back. Why don't you go home and have a glass of water."
Jiang Dalang raised his head and looked at the moonlight and said, "No, it's getting late today. If it gets later, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the way back."
Fang Chun could only say: "Okay, everyone, please pay attention to safety on the way back. I will invite you to my house for tea next time."
Squeak~
The door was opened, and a boy who looked to be only five or six years old rushed out, followed by a girl in a goose-yellow dress and a couple.
The young man Fang Heng said: "Brother, you are finally back."
"Sister A just now said that she heard a noise outside. As soon as she heard it, she knew you were back, so A Jie and I came to pick you up."
The girl behind, Fang Nian, also called out softly: "Brother."
Then they saw Jiang Dalang and the other five people standing together with Fang Chun, smiling and bowing slightly.
Jiang Dalang quickly returned the gift, and the others followed suit.
Fang Chun introduced them: "Those two are my parents. These are my sister Fang Nian and my brother Fang Heng. These are my friends in the school. They all passed the exam this time as scholars."
After hearing Fang Chun's introduction that these people had all passed the scholar examination, Fang's father looked at the faces of Jiang Dalang and said in surprise: "I think these people look similar. They can't be the brothers from the same family who Chun'er said passed the exam at the same time."
How many brothers are there?"
Fang Chun answered with a smile: "They are the ones my father and I told about. The Jiang brothers and the Wang brothers are all very talented."
Father Fang laughed and said, "So it's these little brothers. Now that you've arrived in front of our house, please come in and have a rest."
Jiang Dalang and others declined again, saying that it was too late today and would wait until another day to bother them.
When he heard that Jiang Dalang and his family lived in Guhuai Village not far away, Fang's father stopped insisting and said he would visit Jiang Yuchao and the others another day to ask them how they raised so many talented children.
"Uncle Fang, Brother Fang, let's take our leave."
Jiang Erlang and others got on the bullock cart again, and Jiang Dalang also sat on the shaft of the cart to say goodbye 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 unexpectedly she stepped on a stone and slipped forward as she fell forward.
If you fall down, you will be trampled by the cow.
Jiang Dalang quickly reined in the cow, jumped forward on 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 Fang's mother who ran over in fright, and reminded him softly.
Fang Nian thanked you: "Thank you, it almost scared me just now."
"nothing."
Jiang Dalang got on the shaft of the cart again and drove the ox cart on the road.
Fang Heng pulled Fang Nian, who was looking at the end of the road, and said, "Sister, come to your senses. They are all gone. Let's go home quickly."
There was nothing visible at the end of the road. When Fang Nian came back to his senses, he was relieved to see that no one had noticed her lapse just now. He nodded and followed back.
On the oxcart, Sanlang smiled and joked: "Brother, you acted so fast just now, a hero saves the beauty~"
Jiang Dalang concentrated on looking at the road and replied with his heart: "What kind of hero saves the beauty? He just pulled her along." 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 ran up to Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"
"I have told Li Wen today about letting you follow him for a period of time. But if you follow him to do things, you must follow his arrangements. If you complain and complain once, I will bring you back directly. You
Don’t talk about it again, and you can’t just go home, have you thought about it?”
Jiang Sanlang said hurriedly: "I've thought about it, sister, then when should I go find Li Wen?"
"Tomorrow, just pack a few clothes for today."
After Jiang Zhiyue said that, she returned to the house. When the Jiang family heard that Sanlang was leaving tomorrow, they all hurriedly prepared 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."
Sun made things simpler and simpler. In addition to clothes, he also packed some broken silver and food that could be stored in his bag.
Jiang Sanlang said happily: "Mom, please stop working and go back to sleep quickly."
"You kid, you have to be careful. Mom doesn't want you to go out standing up and come back sideways whining."
Mrs. Sun cried loudly as she lectured him. She was really worried that something bad might happen to Saburo outside.
"Oh, mother, don't worry. My sister has said that among our brothers, I have the best martial arts. If you don't think about these things, you might as well think about your son. I will become a general next time I come back. You are good
Think about how to show off when you go out to talk to the aunts in the village."
Sun looked at Sanlang and mocked: "You brat, see what you can do and return it to the general. If you don't come back with missing arms and legs, I will thank God!"
Sanlang shouted in dissatisfaction: "Mom, how can you not believe your son?"
"Okay, go to bed quickly, I don't know when you will be leaving tomorrow. Mom will prepare a good meal for you tomorrow morning."
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she and Jiang Yuqing who came with her walked out of Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Silang's house.
Walking outside the door, Mrs. Sun patted Jiang Yuqing 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 still believe it just now?"
After Sun and Jiang Yuqing left, Sanlang in the room also muttered to Silang: "How can you say that there is no mother like this? I have to leave tomorrow and you still hurt me."
"He also said that he would prepare a good meal for me tomorrow. It sounds so strange. Isn't it said in this book that he would always say it to people who are about to die?"
"Hey, do you think I can come back as a general?"
Shiro rolled his eyes at Sanlang and turned away, "Just don't run back crying, otherwise it would be embarrassing to ask my sister to pick you up."
"Hey, you are such a person!"
Sanlang rushed forward in anger, and the two brothers fought.
The next day, Mrs. Sun really cooked a table of Sanlang's favorite dishes, which was regarded as helping Sanlang practice.
…
Before eating, Li Wen arrived at Jiang's house. He smelled the aroma that floated to his nose, walked in with a naive smile and said, "Hey, I came here in a hurry. Miss Jiang, would you mind giving me a bite to eat?"
Jiang Zhiyue smiled and called the person in.
Yesterday, Li Wen heard Jiang Zhiyue say that he would give Sanlang to him to take care of for a period of time.
He ate the delicacies on the table and said to Sanlang: "Well, it's delicious. You should eat more, Sanlang. If you follow me, there won't be so much delicious food.'
As soon as Li Wen said this, Mrs. Sun, who was eating at the table, asked with concern: "What? If I follow you, Sanlang won't be able to eat?"
"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, no, just if you follow me, your food may not be that good, but you can still eat.'
Jiang Zhiyue listened to Li Wen's words and said, "You don't need to bring them. Li Wen and the others can eat whatever Sanlang eats. If they can't bear this little suffering, then they have to suffer in so many places. How can Sanlang hold on."
"
Mrs. Sun smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I won't take it.'
Mrs. Jiang looked at Li Wencaring and said, "Young Li Wen, can't Xiao Ming's bookstore make a lot of money? Why can't you guys eat well?"
"Is the monthly payment that boy A Ming gives you too little?"
"If this is the case, Grandma Jiang will have to tell him well when she sees him again. How can you, the people who help him, not even have enough to eat?"
Li Wen was so shocked that a mouthful of rice stuck in his throat and almost choked to death.
He defended Ouyang Ming and said: "No, it's not true. Our master gives us a lot of monthly money, but we also need to spend a lot of money. The master is also very embarrassed. Grandma Jiang, please don't blame the master wrongly."
If the master knew that the Jiang family had misunderstood him because of his words, he would definitely be punished.
Old Mrs. Jiang is still worried. If Ouyang Ming's people don't have enough to eat, then Ouyang Ming won't have enough to eat either.
She said: "Our family still has some money left, Zhiyue, why don't you write a letter and ask A Ming, let's lend him part of the money for emergency purposes."
Jiang Zhiyue saw that the topic was getting more and more crooked. Li Wen looked regretful and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Grandma, just put away our money."
Li Wen glanced at Jiang Zhiyue gratefully and ate the meal quickly.
After the meal, Sanlang carried his baggage and left Jiang's house with Jiang Zhiyue and Li Wen. The three of them walked towards the town and did not drive the ox cart.
Sanlang asked: "Sister, where are we going?"
"Go to town, buy a few servants, and see if there are any shops for rent or sale."
Jiang Zhiyue turned to Li Wen and asked directly: "Is Ouyang Ming short of money?"
Li Wen originally wanted to say that he was not short of money, but looking at Jiang Zhiyue's expression, he could only say: "Master wants to do something big, and the money in his hand is spent like water. In fact, he is a little short of money."
"But it's really only a little bit, Miss Jiang. Our master is not poor, but all his belongings are left in the border general's mansion and cannot be taken out. The general's mansion is now occupied by the doves, and I don't know how much money and other things will be left in it by then.
.”
Jiang Zhiyue asked: "Whose dove occupied the magpie's nest?"
Li Wen hummed and said: "She is the fourth prince's maternal family. The general stationed at the border now is from their family. However, he cannot be called a general because he only got his official position through the fourth prince and Concubine Rong."
