Why could Mr. Chang enjoy the blessings of being an old lady in the capital, having food, clothing, and everything taken care of, and having to be pompous when going out? But he could only be alone in Yangjia Village, with no one around him to talk to.
Xiangzi is also his son, why can't he be an old man?
He will go to the capital to find him. If he does not recognize him as his father, he will report the unfilial son to the Yamen to see if he can continue to be an official.
He didn't believe that the unfilial son had worked so hard to study so many books and finally passed the exam and became an official. He could still be shameless and let him make things worse.
As long as the unfilial son is willing to give in, he will be able to live a prosperous and wealthy life.yyls
Just thinking about it made his blood boil.
As for the people in Yangjia Village who want to find him, well, we have to see if they can find him!
Isn't there a saying that only by enduring hardship can one become a great person? Only by enduring hardship can he live a wealthy life.
For the sake of the future, temporary grievances are nothing.
Even if you become a beggar, wear shabby clothes and make yourself miserable, what does it matter?
Anyway, it's not like he's really going to starve to death. He still has money on him, which he got from that bitch Liang.
Tsk tsk, that bitch Liang didn’t know which wild man she got it from, but she actually had dozens of taels. Including the money from selling the house, there were hundreds of taels.
If Xiangzi had not become an official and knew that there was a richer life, he would still be more content.
But his son is a top talent and has already become an official in the capital, so the money is not worth mentioning at all.
This money seems to be a lot in the countryside, but how can it be compared with the capital.
As long as he becomes an old man in the capital, not to mention a mere one hundred taels, but even five hundred taels is not a problem.
He has decided to make a decision in this capital city. No one can stop him, and don’t even think about it!
He had inquired about the road to the capital, which cities he had to pass through, and how to get there.
He had also exchanged all the money he had on him. Except for the banknotes he had exchanged, he had already hid them. The broken silver he had on him was at least copper plates.
When passing by the city, he was just a beggar, using copper coins for convenience. Whether he was buying steamed buns or steamed buns, those people would just treat him as a beggar.
Even if he wants to take a ride, he will tidy up a little to make himself look like a poor common man. As long as he can afford the money, he can join others in a ride.
It has to be said that Yang Tianchang has been a village chief after all, and he is more thoughtful than ordinary people.
He also tried his best to prevent others from finding him.
While Song Wen, Jiang Yunye and others were still searching for him in Rongcheng, he had already left the boundaries of Rongcheng.
In the capital, Yang Jiaxiang, who had been accompanying Yan Shiqing to receive Campbell and others during this time, had an inexplicable right eye that kept twitching.
He didn't know what was going on, but he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and he vaguely felt that something was going to happen.
At night, when he returned to the Yang Mansion, he saw his mother, Mrs. Zheng and others, selecting dishes to be delivered to the restaurant the next day.
"Mom, let me help you!"
He knew that his mother had already made an agreement with Suya's mother to deliver food to the restaurant under her name every day.
The other party doesn't mind if the gift from his family is small, no matter how much it is, he will buy it according to the market price. As long as she sends it here, the restaurant will take it.
Fortunately, his mansion was not very big. With his mother and a few servants, he couldn't actually cultivate much land or grow many vegetables.
He knew that his mother's temperament was restless, so he just let her go.
Ever since Mrs. Chang came back from Jiang Mansion that day, she had tried to deliver food to the restaurant under Huo Yiyi's name.
On the first day, she didn't send much, but she didn't expect that the other party actually accepted it. On the second and third days, she sent everything there, except for the food she had at home.
Although the money seems not much to people in the capital, only a few dozen or at most a hundred cash at a time, it seems to her to be a lot.
You must know that in Yangjiacun and Ruanjiakeng, even if you pick a stone and sell it in the town, you won't be able to sell it for much.
The price of vegetables in this capital is much more expensive than in Jifeng Town.
In Jifeng Town, two cents per catty can be sold here for two cents per catty or one cent per catty.
She didn't know if the other party offered her a high price, but she felt comfortable that she had earned it through her own ability.
At least in this way, she can earn two or three taels in a month.
Anyway, except for vegetables, for her, it is a business without capital. At most, it costs some labor and some water.
There is a shortage of water in the capital, but after all, their house is considered an official's house, so they need a well on the house. They don't have to go out and line up to pick up water every day like ordinary people.
"You're back? But if you eat it, if you don't have it, I'll give you a bowl of noodles!"
Mrs. Chang said, putting down the half-picked vegetables in her hand, and prepared to get up and go to the kitchen in person.
"I've already eaten. Mom, don't go there. There's still a lot of food left, let me help you!"
As Yang Jiaxiang said this, he found a small spoon made by his mother and sat down. Without even changing his clothes, he lowered his head and bent down to help.
Mrs. Chang had to deliver the food early the next morning, so she prepared the food the night before. After waking up early the next morning, she took her mother-in-law to deliver the food in person.
As Yang Jiaxiang's personal servant, Xiaozhu saw this and knelt down to help.
There were many people and speed was fast. It didn't take long for the dishes to be picked. Mrs. Chang stood up and knocked on her back.
"Xiangzi, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."
As Mrs. Chang spoke, she reached out to take the basin of water brought by Mrs. Zheng and sprinkled it on the vegetables bit by bit.
Because the weather was hot and the vegetables were picked early, she was afraid they would become wilted, so she would pour some water on them.
By the time it gets light in the morning, the water on the vegetables will be almost dry. Even if there is no water, she will automatically lose a few pounds when asked to weigh her.
Yang Jiaxiang did not leave immediately. He thought for a while and finally spoke out about the inexplicable feeling he felt today.
"Mom, for some reason, my eyelids have been twitching today, and I always feel like something is going to happen. Now my position can't hinder anyone. Everyone knows who Sister Shiqing is, and no one will do anything to me.
. But I feel inexplicably flustered, and I don’t know why.”
Mrs. Chang paused when she heard this, and then handed the basin in her hand to Mrs. Zheng. She stared at Yang Jiaxiang and thought for a long time, and said, "Tell me, could it be because of your father?"
When Yang Jiaxiang heard this, he frowned subconsciously, then shook his head, thinking it was unlikely.
His father had plenty to eat and drink in Yangjia Village. When he came to the capital after winning the imperial examination, Mr. Jiang took a lot of money for him and left it with the clan, just so that he could give his father as much as he wanted every month in the future without asking him to pay for it every month.
I will bring money back from the capital every month.
The people in the clan promised him that they would take good care of his father. He came here to take the exam and become an official, but it didn't even last a year.
