When they returned home, Jiang Quan began to count the money and divide it.
But none of the three sisters were interested in his three melons and two dates, so they just let him keep them for himself.
Although Jiang Quan was a little disappointed, who couldn't live with money? With more than five hundred yuan, you can buy a lot of things. Huh, they don't want to forget it, it's just a benefit for themselves.
In the afternoon, Yingbao took Dalu to drink water and walk by the pond.
It's hot in summer, so people go out to do activities when it's cool in the early morning or when the sun is in the west. They hoe the fields, dig adobe bricks, and some carry shovels to drain the paddy fields.
The southern slope has been quite lively recently, with several families planning to build houses here.
Like Tang's son Chen Zhu, brothers Li Dayong and Li Eryong, and Chen Sanyou's second son Chen Yin.
They took the time to come to the south slope to cut adobe and cut bamboo. Some foundations had already been laid. They just waited for the bricks from the brick kiln to be delivered before they started building houses.
Suddenly, a group of people rode horses and came straight towards us. Some people on horseback drew their bows and aimed at Youyou.
Ying Bao was startled and quickly urged Youyou to run home first.
Yoyo was frightened and ran towards home with all four hooves.
Ying Bao followed closely behind, glancing behind him from time to time.
Fortunately, he and Youyou were not within the range of the bow and arrow. Even if these people rushed their horses to chase, they could not outrun Youyou with strong four hooves.
Yingbao ran home, immediately closed the door and shouted: "Dad! Mom! There are bad people!"
Jiang Sanlang and Chun Niang came out after hearing the sound and saw several mounted guards gathered around their door. They couldn't help but frowned, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
A guard said: "There was a deer running into your house just now. Get the deer out quickly!"
"That's my deer. Do you want to rob people of their property?" Jiang Sanlang said coldly.
The leading guard raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "You said what belongs to your family belongs to your family? Get out of the way quickly, I want to go in and catch the deer."
Jiang Sanlang took out an iron fork from the door and said, "Let's see who dares to break into a private house!"
At this time, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Dalang Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan also ran out, holding shovels, iron forks, wooden sticks and other weapons in their hands, and shouted angrily: "Who are you! What do you want to do?"
When they saw so many men, they hesitated for a moment, and one of them whispered: "Forget it, we are new here. It is not appropriate to conflict with the local unruly people. It will be difficult to explain to the eldest son if he finds out."
Another person said: "What are you afraid of? We are the guards of the young master. What's wrong with coming to the mountain to hunt head deer?"
"But the deer was raised by the villagers." Someone didn't want to be troublesome.
The leading guard snorted coldly, "I just bought them dozens of coins, I'm sorry they don't dare to say anything."
At this time, three more horses came over, and on one of the ponies sat a six or seven-year-old boy.
The boy tightened the reins and asked arrogantly: "If you don't go hunting, what are you doing around other people's houses?"
"Young Master." The leading guard clasped his fists, "We were interested in a deer, but this group of unscrupulous people hid it in the yard."
Yingbao shouted angrily: "That's my deer!"
The boy's eyes lit up when he saw it was a little doll he met in the street market.
Seeing her akimbo and glaring at them again, he turned around and asked, "Are you robbing someone else's deer?"
The leading guard was stunned and argued: "Young master, that deer is a creature of the mountains and wilds, so why does it belong to his family? This group of unscrupulous people are just bullying you for your young age..."
Before he finished speaking, he was already slapped on the face by the boy's riding whip.
The boy said angrily: "Go back! Don't follow me!" He hated people saying he was young.
The leading guard was embarrassed, but he still responded and rode back.
The boy turned to Yingbao and nodded, "Don't be angry. It's my guards who are rude. They won't steal your deer."
After a pause, he added: 'So you live here.'
Jiang Sanlang blocked his daughter behind him and said coldly: 'The villagers are humble, so I won't invite the young master in.'
After saying that, he asked Chun Niang to take her girls back to the courtyard, and asked them to close the courtyard door while she went out to deal with these people.
After a while, the group rode away.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang asked what was going on.
Ying Bao: "They wanted to hunt you just now."
"Who are they? How dare they be so rampant?"
Jiang Erlang spent the whole morning making snacks with his newlywed wife at home, preparing for the homecoming ceremony tomorrow. Little did he know that Chen Laoshuan of Xicun had already returned from Fucheng, bringing a large group of people with him.
"It was brought back by the Chen family in Xicun. It is said that they are from the Wei family in Fucheng." Yingbao said.
"The Wei family in Fucheng? What are they doing here?"
In their small and barren mountain village, few noble people came in. In his more than thirty years of life, Jiang Dalang had encountered so many neatly dressed horse guards for the first time.
Jiang Sanlang shook his head: "I don't know, but these people must be the servants of Chen Laoshuan's former master."
The feud between my family and Chen Laoshuan's family has become a foregone conclusion. Chen Laoshuan wants to use those servants to take revenge on his family.
"Big brother and second brother, please don't let Danni Erni, Yuanbao Huzi and the others wander around recently. We have to be careful of these people." Jiang Sanlang said.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang nodded, "Don't worry, we know what's going on."
Jiang Dalang turned to his second brother and asked, "Aren't you going to take your brothers and sisters to the county town tomorrow? Are Erni and Huzi going?"
"Well, Yan Ru and I can just go back."
"Then let Erni and Huzi live in my house, and I'll let Dacheng watch them." Jiang Dalang said.
Jiang Erlang: "Okay."
Ying Bao knew from that book what these people were doing here, but she couldn't tell her parents.
So she had to go to the county town to find Wu Daozi and talk to him. "Second uncle, I want to go to the county town with you tomorrow. I promised Wu Daguan that I would bring golden ears to him to try."
Jiang Erlang nodded: "Okay, we should also thank Mingfu properly."
"Bao'er, are daddy going too?" Jiang Sanlang was a little worried about his daughter being alone.
Ying Bao: "No, I'll just go with my second uncle."
It was difficult to talk in a crowd, so it was better for her to go without her father.
The next day, Yingbao got up early, washed up, and packed a bamboo basket with a lot of things in it.
After eating the egg noodles cooked by her mother-in-law, Yingbao boarded the mule cart and sat with Aunt Yanru.
Jiang Erlang waved his whip and drove the mule cart on the road.
Yanru hugged the little soft baby and couldn't put it down. Seeing that her hair was tied casually, she wanted to comb her hair and braid it again.
Ying Bao's hair is much thicker and longer than when she was little, and she can barely make a complicated bun.
Yanru took out the makeup box, took two pink colored ribbons and braided her little niece's hair, circling it in circles, giving her two beautiful hanging ring buns, and inserted two blue beads on each side.
He held up the bronze mirror for Ying Bao to look at, and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?"
Ying Bao blinked, unable to believe that the little person in the mirror was herself, and nodded: "It looks good."
For the first time, she felt that she was so beautiful. She couldn't help but touch the ribbon hanging from her hair ring, and her eyes turned into crescents.
"Er Auntie, your hair style is so beautiful." Ying Bao praised without hesitation: "I have never seen it before."
In fact, she had seen more complicated and beautiful buns, but that was in a previous life.
Yan Ru pursed her lips and smiled, tapping the tip of Yingbao's little nose, "It's Yingbao'er who looks good, no matter what hairstyle she makes, it will match her."
Ying Bao narrowed her eyes with a smile and nodded vigorously: "Well, the second uncle is also pretty."
Yanru is indeed good-looking now, her whole face is radiant, much prettier than when she first saw her.
Yan Ru chuckled, then took out the snow cream and applied it to Ying Bao's face.
"I made this snow cream myself. Do you think it's comfortable if you try it?"
Ying Bao nodded and let Yan Ru play with it, asking from time to time how to make snow cream and rouge powder.
Yan Ru seemed to know everything. She told her how to make powder rouge and how to prepare snow cream.
Yingbao listened with great interest and decided to grow more flowers in the future and try making rouge and fragrant powder by herself.
