When a few people came to a wooden building with red paint and carved railings in Wa City, they saw the four words "Eight Immortals Tea House" written on the door sign.
The brothers and sisters walked into the teahouse, found a square table by the window, and asked the waiter to bring some dishes of snacks and a pot of tea.
There were several upside-down tea bowls placed in the middle of the table. Turning the bowls over, the boy poured tea for several people one by one.
They came earlier, the storyteller didn't arrive, and there weren't many people in the teahouse.
The Yingbao siblings were eating snacks and looking outside.
It was much more lively than the teahouse outside, with jugglers, people selling bruises and plasters, and people dancing with swords and guns.
There are many vendors carrying baskets and carrying baskets, selling all kinds of homemade food.
Jiang Wu suddenly tugged on his sister's sleeves, pointed outside and said, "Look! Is the man in the flowered robe my uncle?"
Ying Bao looked over and saw in the crowd not far away, a man in his thirties wearing a blue tuan shroud robe, talking and laughing with two big men, and walking towards the hook rail.
Jiang Quan also saw it and asked strangely: "Hey, aren't those two the same people who beat up my uncle and aunt last month? Why are they mixed together?"
I saw three people walking shoulder to shoulder outside the hook fence and quickly disappeared into a flower building.
Yingbao watched the three of them disappear and turned to ask Dani: "Sister Dani, how much money did aunt borrow from uncle back home?"
Dani thought for a while and said, "Fifty taels, maybe. I asked my parents to borrow a hundred taels before, but my mother didn't agree."
"Didn't she say what she was borrowing the money for?" Yingbao asked.
Dani: "My aunt said that her shop was struggling to make money because she wanted to buy more goods. When I borrowed money from my grandma, she also said that my uncle was doing a big business with them and asked for money to use as capital. She said that she would be there soon. It turned out that
Not very now.”
Yingbao asked Erni again: "Did aunt borrow money from my second uncle?"
"I borrowed it. He saw it with his own eyes. Dad gave her forty taels."
Erni said: "My aunt secretly asked him if he had any money, huh, he told her no."
Yingbao:······
Combined with what happened last month, she probably knew why Jiang Yunniang asked for a loan.
Should we just fill in Zhang A’s hole?
Jiang Quan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Please go quietly to Goulan and see what's going on with the three of them."
"No! If I'm found out, I'll be dead." That's not an exaggeration.
Ying Bao said: "When you see your aunt, just tell her what Mingyue saw."
As for what Jiang Yunniang should do, that's up to her.
"Otherwise, when we get home, tell uncle, uncle and dad that they should come to the county town to ask Zhang Jia face to face."
If the man surnamed Zhang was playing some tricks, and the three Jiang brothers were in battle together, even one of them could drown him by spitting dirt.
The brothers and sisters were shutting up, but Dongmei and her father were on stage.
Looking at the tea tables outside the teahouse, 40% of the tea guests have already left.
Gao Lifan glanced at a few children walking by the spring stew, nodded to them, straightened his sleeves, and put out a wakeboard, a folding fan, and a leg handkerchief.
The boy had already run over with a teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
When Dongmei walked next to Gao Lifan with her piba in her arms, there were already tea guests urging them to sing faster.
Mingyue Gao Lifan Bufu continued to talk about the Three Kingdoms.
I saw him slap the wake-up wood and say:
“As the saying goes, horses have the virtue of holding back their reins, and dogs have the kindness of spreading grass;
Sika deer gather in groups when they see food, and the unrighteous people are hateful!
Let’s move on to Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian…”
Ying Bao and Jiang Quan listened with great interest, but Dani Erni and Jiang Wu soon couldn't walk any further.
Jiang Wu pulled his sister's sleeves over and over again and asked: "Sister, let's stop listening and go play outside, okay?"
He didn't understand it at all, so he just wanted to see the knife performers, or else he couldn't go see the high-legged and crippled evil spirits.
"Wait a while." Yingbao didn't know how Dongmei helped promote her family.
After Gao Lifan finally finished speaking, he took a tea bowl and took a break. His daughter, Dongmei, hugged her piba and began to talk about the opening words.
In her opening credits, she actually introduced the Jiangji specialty shop in the county school and the various specialties sold in the shop.
Dongmei said it eloquently, as if she had said it many times.
The audience took it for granted and did not express dissatisfaction.
After finishing her opening remarks, Dongmei played the lute and started singing.
After the song was sung, the boy held the copper plate and began to go around the table to collect the reward money.
Yingbao took out a handful of copper coins from his bag and put it in, and said to Dongmei, "After my sister and your husband are done, you can go to his shop."
I haven't given sister Dongmei Wugen water for a month, so Mingyue plans to give her three bottles at a time.
Because Ma was praying for the New Year, Yingbao couldn't guarantee when she would come to the county again, so she gave her a little more as compensation for Sister Dongmei's advertising for her.
Dongmei smiled and nodded.
The brothers and sisters walked out of the teahouse and bought several portraits of Zhong Kui at the calligraphy and painting shop, as well as several peach charms carved from peach wood pieces, which they reserved for the New Year.
Dani and Erni went to the gold and silver shop and bought some silver jewelry, such as earrings, hoopoe, silver beads and flowers, etc.
Those small items are not very rare. Of course, they also contain less silver, which is incomparable with government-made silver.
A few days later, Jiang Sanlang drove his carriage into the city again, preparing to take his children and niece home.
Before going back, I had to pick Jiang Jie up from the county government office and go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year together.
Jiang Sanlang prepared some New Year gifts and sent them to the county government in advance to Mr. Wu and his wife.
There were chestnut cakes newly made at home, a pound of snow fungus and a pound of golden fungus, two boxes of persimmon cakes, and health pills made by my little girl.
Mr. Wu was very happy and asked Jiang Sanlang why he didn't bring Ying Bao.
The next day, Jiang Quan took advantage of his third uncle's good mood and told him everything about his aunt and uncle.
Jiang Sanlang frowned and immediately stood up to find Zhang Jia.
Jiang Cheng was afraid that his third uncle would suffer a loss by himself, so he even went to ask his second brother to follow him, telling Dani, Erni and Yingbao to take good care of the shop.
It was not until evening that the three came back.
Jiang Sanlang had a bad look on his face. He went to the house alone for a long time and didn't know what he was doing.
Ying Bao quietly asked Jiang Quan: "What are we doing?"
Jiang Quan rubbed the back of his head and said: "The third uncle found Uncle Zhang and asked about his relationship with the woman and the attacker. Uncle Zhang immediately became angry and started to scold the third uncle. It turned out that the third uncle knocked out two teeth with a few slaps.
.”
"Then what?" Yingbao asked curiously.
Jiang Quan: "Then my aunt suddenly came to fight with the third uncle, saying that it was her family matter and not asking the third uncle to take care of it. The third uncle was so angry that he came back immediately."
He whispered again: "Uncle Zhang himself admitted that he raised an outside wife and gave birth to the wrong children, all of whom depended on him to support him. Uncle Zhang really wants those two children to recognize their master and return to the clan. I don't understand.
Why does my aunt protect him so much?"
Is it true that she is slapping her aunt in the face? Jiang Yunniang actually said that she would not ask her mother's family to take care of her.
Ying Bao was simply stunned.
"What happened to the other two men who beat me?" she asked.
Jiang Quan: "I don't know. Uncle Zhang refuses to say. He probably belongs to the family outside the room."
Because he had heard from the attacker that Uncle Zhang seduced his daughter.
That man with a sinister face was most likely the biological father of the young wife.
