If there is a war, no matter how dirty or smelly the clan is, the enemy must still act unanimously against the outside world. Money is very important, but it is not worth mentioning when it comes to lives.
This is what Mrs. Liu taught them since childhood.
Man Bao nodded and expressed his understanding.
From Longzhou to Mianzhou, they passed directly through Qinzhou and then went down through Xingzhou and Lizhou to Mianzhou.
Zhou Lang separated from them when he was in Mianzhou. He separated his fleet and said to Man Bao: "Before the New Year, all these fur goods must be sold. I will take Liwei to Maozhou and Yizhou."
, you go home first."
Man Bao didn't have any objections. Seeing that he didn't clean himself up and looked unshaven, he asked: "Fourth brother, do you still have money on you?"
Zhou Lang shook his head with a heavy expression.
Man Bao felt soft for a moment, then gave him a money bag and said, "There are twelve taels of broken silver in it. Remember to return it to me when you come back."
Zhou Lang took it and asked: "Do you still want to pay it back?"
Man Bao said: "I won't charge you any interest."
Zhou Lang stuffed the money bag into his arms and sighed: "Well, I thought this was because you felt sorry for me."
Man Bao just looked at his clothes and said nothing.
Zhou Lang narrowed his eyes with a smile, reached out and rubbed her hair and said, "Okay, fourth brother is joking with you. It's just a short distance home from Mianzhou. Don't dig around on the way."
Along the way, Manbao was half in a car and half on horseback. Whenever she was riding, she would carry a small backpack and run in front of them. Occasionally she would jump off the horse to dig things, and she would take good care of some of the flowers and plants she dug back.
Some of them were lost by her at some point.
The one who lost it was okay, just thinking that she was tired of playing like she was when she was a child, but the one who kept it basically ruined his car.
Now Zhoulang moved all the grass with leaves wrapped around its roots to Manbao's car, so the three of them were now forced to ride horses.
As Man Bao mounted his horse, he said to Zhou Lang: "Fourth brother, don't dislike these grasses. These are medicinal herbs and can be grown."
She planned to take it home and let her eldest and third brothers plant it, and the plants that were "thrown away" were collected by Keke.
Zhou Lang waved his hand and told them to leave quickly.
After their convoy left, Zhou Lang and Zhou Liwei took the three sons and others to drive the mule cart to another road. They were going to Maozhou, where they would sell fur goods first and then go to Yizhou.
Zhou Lang has met a lot of people selling medicinal materials and grains in the past two years. Although they are not rich, they have a wide range of connections. He dares to resell these leather goods, so he is naturally confident in selling them.
The two sides walked separately, Man Bao and his friends still rode at the front. Luojiang County was a bit far from Mianzhou City.
They set off in the morning and arrived in Luojiang County in the evening. The three of them went directly to Qianji Restaurant. Just when they started to have dinner, three tables of guests had already arrived. Xiao Qian took Da Ya, San Tou and San
Yawai was busy at work, and Sanya, who was settling accounts at the counter, looked up and was stunned for a moment when she saw six horses coming from outside the store.
Man Bao jumped off the horse and ran in without untying his cloak, "Sanya!"
Sanya's eyes widened and she exclaimed: "Sister-in-law!"
The two hugged each other and cheered, and Man Bao asked: "Where is sister-in-law?"
"The eldest aunt and eldest sister are all in the kitchen."
Manbao ran towards the kitchen like a gust of wind...
Xiao Qian was cooking when Man Bao suddenly appeared, startling her so much that the spoon almost flew away. She hugged Man Bao and almost burst into tears, "I've grown taller, I've grown taller, I've grown so big in the blink of an eye."
"
She reached out to touch her hand, "Leng Bu Leng, when did you come back? In the car?"
Manbao nuzzled into her arms dependently, and then chirped back: "We just entered the city. Sir, they took the car a little slower and fell behind. We entered the city on horseback. Sister-in-law, I want to
You are."
Xiao Qian said that she missed her too. She hugged her and rubbed her for a while before turning to Da Ya and said, "Go tell the guests that today's dinner is ours and we won't accept any new guests. Let them leave after eating.
Let’s pack up our things and go home.”
Da Ya responded happily and turned around to go out.
The meals for the three tables were quickly prepared, and then Xiao Qian took them to pack their things and prepare to go home.
She brought all the ingredients from the store, but she was afraid that there wouldn't be enough, so she gave Santou money to buy more meat.
Man Bao said: "I'm going to buy it. I'll also stop by my husband's house and give them a message."
Xiao Qian was a little reluctant to leave her, but still let her go. She warned: "Go early and come back early."
Man Bao agreed, ran out, took the horse, and left with Bai Shan and the others.
Seeing them riding away, Xiao Qian truly felt that Man Bao had really grown up.
The customers in the store poked their heads and watched for a while, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Qian, "Sister-in-law Zhou, who is this?"
Xiao Qian came to her senses and said with a smile: "This is my sister-in-law."
Luojiang County is poor. In the past two years, life has been better off because of Yang Heshu, but in the entire county, there are not many people who can ride a horse.
The owner of Qianji Restaurant is the old Zhou family of Qili Village. This is something that the entire county knows. When Xiao Qian said this, the guests understood and asked: "Is this the little fairy who serves Master Tianzun?"
"It must be her. She is so beautiful. She deserves to be a little fairy."
Xiao Qian narrowed his eyes with a smile and nodded repeatedly: "That's my sister-in-law. She's back. Our store has to close early and go home, so..."
The guests hurriedly ate and said there was no problem at all.
This meal was invited by Xiao Qian, so he poured out the good words as if they were free of charge. After finishing the meal, he congratulated their family before leaving.
Manbao and the others went to the meat stall and bought a lot of meat. They divided some of it and carried it to Mr. Zhuang's house, while Daji let Daji take the rest.
Zhuang Dalang and his family were also cooking and preparing for dinner. When they heard the knock on the door, Mrs. Zhuang shouted outside, "Ji An, go and open the door."
Zhuang Ji'an ran to open the door. When he saw the three teenagers outside the door, he was stunned for a moment and called out hesitantly, "Bai Shan?"
Bai Shan smiled and saluted: "We are back from the capital, and my husband fell behind in the carriage, so we came back first to report the news."
Zhuang Ji'an quickly welcomed the three people in.
Sister-in-law Zhuang heard this in the kitchen, wiped her hands and came out to greet them. She couldn't help but smile when she saw them. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Is Mr. Bai back?"
Zhou Man saluted and called: "Sister-in-law, isn't senior brother at home?"
Sister-in-law Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "He is still in the shop. Ji An, go and call your father back."
Then he asked Zhou Man and Bai Shan to sit in the room.
Bai Erlang handed the meat in his hand to her. Sister Zhuang took it and looked outside and asked, "Where is the father-in-law?"
"Sir, the car is behind you, let's ride the horse faster." Bai Shan said with a smile: "We thought it was freezing now and the family might not be prepared, so we ran over to inform our sister-in-law first."
