MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 35
The next day, Jiang Yunzhu increased the deposit for the lunch box to ten coins. Otherwise, she's afraid that the people who will order food in the future will have no lunch boxes. Besides, she raised the price of the lunch box, and Wang De's side also sold it easily. She doesn't expect to make money from selling lunch boxes, so if she takes money from others, she should try to keep the benefits to others.
At the same time, she changed the shape of the deposit slip again, so that those who had taken the lunch box before would return more money.
The person who ordered the meal also knew that some people took Jiang Ji's lunch box and refused to return it. No one said anything about her behavior of raising the price. Anyway, it's just a deposit, and they don't really want their money.
Jiang Cheng resigned from the mine yesterday, and originally wanted to go to Xu Qingshan to familiarize himself with the route today, but who knew that Jiang Yunzhu suddenly told him last night that he had all the money to buy the donkey?
He was so surprised that he robbed her for her, no, he picked up the money.
After asking why, he sighed.
In the past, it was difficult to make a penny, but now it seems that making money suddenly becomes easy.
It seems that everything started from leaving Changfeng Mansion to Wuling County.
Sure enough, what Jiang Yunzhu had heard was right.
After sighing, he became excited again, so he can buy a donkey today?
In this day and age, it is almost as difficult for poor people to buy a donkey as it is for ordinary people today to buy a luxury car. No wonder he is so happy.
"Yes." Jiang Yunzhu agreed, and then took out a money bag and handed it to him.
Now Jiang Yunzhu is in charge of the family's business, so all the money in the family is in her hands.
Jiang Cheng took the money bag and opened it. There were two relatively large pieces of silver inside, one was the one given by Nie Xin, which was worth three taels, and the other was the one given by Wang De, which was originally worth three taels. Jiang Yunzhu ordered the lunch box After deducting the money, there are only two or two taels left.
There are still some small pieces of silver and copper coins left, and the total is estimated to be seven or eight taels, more than enough to buy a donkey.
Jiang Cheng held the money bag with trembling hands, he had never seen so much money before. At the beginning when he and Mrs. Chen went out of the house, when he had the most money, it was more than five taels. At that time, he vowed to give Mrs. Chen a home, so he found someone to build a new house.
More than five taels, naturally not enough to build a house.
He owed some money on credit to put the frame of the house in place, with no roof tiles, no windows around, let alone furniture. In this way, he and Mrs. Chen still lived in, and slowly finished the house, broke the furniture, and had Jiang Yunzhu and several children.
"Master, everything will be fine." When Chen Shi saw so much money just now, her eyes were also red. She knew Jiang Cheng's feeling at this time, so she spoke out to comfort him.
"Yeah." Jiang Cheng nodded with a smile, he will get better.
Jiang Cheng carefully put the silver in his pocket, touched it again and again, and then went out to the town.
After more than an hour, he came back, but there was everything around him.
Mrs. Chen was helping Jiang Yunzhu cut the meat, and from time to time, she would look at the door, imagining Jiang Cheng coming back with a donkey.
What would the donkey be like? Is it black or gray? Are the ears long? Is the fur shiny?
Seeing that Jiang Cheng came back by himself, she immediately asked anxiously, "Why, didn't you buy a donkey?"
It can be said that Jiang Cheng left with hope and returned with disappointment. He wanted to buy a donkey that could pull its feet, preferably a mature one, so that it could be used when it was bought, but such a donkey was rarely sold.
All the donkeys sold in the market were young or old donkeys, and there was only one donkey that looked okay, and the asking price was too high.
This money was earned by Jiang Yunzhu at the stove from dawn to dusk. Every time Jiang Cheng saw it, he felt very sad. He didn't want to waste money, so he didn't buy it.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen was also very disappointed. But there is no rush for this matter, you have to meet the right one.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the sky outside, but said, "There is no fish market in the river, why not go to the county to have a look." Then she said to Mrs. Chen, "Mother, the weather is getting colder and colder, and we should add some bedding at home." , and your and dad's clothes are too thin, why don't we go to the county together and buy more for the winter."
When the Jiang family came to Changshi Village, Mrs. Chen bought cloth and cotton once, but she only made quilts and thick clothes for Mr. Chen and Jiang Yunzhu and others, but she and Jiang Cheng were not willing to part with it.
Also, Jiang Yunzhu and the others only had this kind of thicker clothes, and she had been thinking about when to buy them in a big way, and it just so happened that today was an opportunity.
Mrs. Chen was a little moved when she heard that, the family has money, and she doesn't want to see the child lacking in food and clothing, but, "Let's go to the county, maybe we won't be able to make dinner in time?"
"Then don't do it. Talk to those guests at noon, let's rest tonight, and continue to do it tomorrow." Jiang Yunzhu said.
"Will the guest go to another house?" Chen was worried.
"Don't worry, I only take a break once in a while, and people can understand, as long as it doesn't happen every now and then." Jiang Yunzhu said. After all, who can be okay.
Chen was still a little scared, and felt that if he didn't do it at night, he would make a lot of less money.
"Money can never be earned, mother." Jiang Yunzhu said.
"Yeah, it just happened to let Yun Zhu rest for a day." Jiang Cheng said from the side.
Hearing what he said, how could Mrs. Chen not agree.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled. In fact, she has never been the hardest one in the family. In the past, Jiang Cheng was busy with business with them in the morning and evening, and went to work in the mine during the day. He was the hardest.
Later, she stopped making breakfast. Mrs. Chen would choose and cut all the vegetables and meat for Jiang Yunzhu. Jiang Lin and Jiang Yunxue would clean the plates and bowls and help her in the kitchen. She was only responsible for cooking and cooking. Some things they can't do, really counting, Chen is busy all day long, she is the hardest.
So in fact, without Mrs. Chen and others, Jiang Yunzhu's business would not be possible.
The family is not so clear, and everyone can work together to be better.
Jiang's family was going to visit the county town, and Jiang Wu was the happiest. He ran around this day, wishing he could help everyone finish what they were doing so that they could go to the county quickly.
After delivering the meal at noon, the Jiang family, except Mr. Chen, got into the donkey cart and went to the county.
Jiang Yunzhu also wanted Mr. Chen to go. Mr. Chen felt that his eyesight was bad, so it was useless to go. Besides, at his age, he had never seen anything. He preferred to stay at home and look after the house.
Jiang Yunzhu respected his ideas and did not persuade him any more.
Wuling County is rich and prosperous, and there are row upon row of shops in the county town, which is very lively.
The Jiang family was all thinking about buying a donkey, so they held back and went straight to the Luoma Market in the west of the county seat.
The mule and horse market in the county town is indeed not comparable to that in the town. For example, there are no less than dozens of horses here, and four or five in the town are good. There are countless mules, cows, and donkeys.
Jiang Cheng looked left and right, almost getting confused.
Mrs. Chen was also looking around. Compared with donkeys, those tall and strong horses were particularly outstanding, but it was a pity that they couldn't afford them.
She suddenly thought of the two horses of Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming, they looked much better than the horses here, it was really hard to compare people with others, and to compare things with goods.
The couple were fascinated by watching, so Jiang Yunzhu grabbed Jiang Wu and told Jiang Lin and Jiang Yunxue to follow her and not to run around. There are so many people in the market, if they are scattered, it will be bad.
She has no interest in these horses and donkeys, she only plans to go shopping for a while and buy something.
At this time, Jiang Cheng took a fancy to a donkey. Its black fur was smooth and smooth, and it opened its mouth to look at its teeth. It was two years old, and it was in the prime of life. Looking at the hooves and tail, there is no flaw at all.
He was happy, and started chatting with the donkey seller.
After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Cheng's face was serious. The donkey seller was an old man. He said his donkey was good, and he would not let go if he killed it.
Jiang Cheng naturally knew that his donkey was good, but seven taels of silver was too expensive, and if he added some more, he could buy a mule. Mules are stronger than donkeys and can run.
Mrs. Chen tugged La Jiangcheng's sleeve, otherwise she would look elsewhere, she also felt that the price was too expensive.
Jiang Cheng looked at the donkey with nostalgia again, and walked forward.
The couple continued to look at the donkey, when suddenly a female voice said, "Sister-in-law Chen, is that you, sister-in-law Chen?"
At first, Chen didn't think that someone called her, but when the person grabbed her sleeve, she turned around and asked in surprise, "It's you?"
Opposite stood a woman with soft eyebrows and a body like a spring willow, holding a child in her hand, about four or five years old, whose appearance was four or five points similar to her, who looked like a pink jade.
It was the Liu family from the same village in Changfeng Mansion. At that time, Jiang Yunzhu's family left the village in a hurry and happened to meet her coming out to fetch water, so Chen family kindly reminded her a few words. I really didn't expect to meet her here again today.
Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu were indescribably happy.
"How did you get here?" Mrs. Chen remembered that she borrowed food from everyone in the village but failed to borrow food. Only Mrs. Liu lent her food, and she was very enthusiastic about Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu is also grateful to Mrs. Chen for reminding her of her kindness, and knows everything about her. It turned out that after hearing Mrs. Chen's words that day, she also had the idea of leaving Changfeng Mansion.
Her husband died, and she had no relatives here, so it seemed nothing to leave.
just where to go? She didn't know, so she decided to go south first.
She was much better than Jiang Yunzhu and the others. She had money, so she packed up her things, took her children, and hired a donkey cart to go to Luzhou.
About twenty days ago, when she was passing through Wuling County, an old lady suddenly rushed out from the street and hit the car she was sitting in.
She and the driver were terrified.
The driver said it was none of his business, the old lady hit it herself.
The old lady just screamed for pain.
She got out of the car and was at a loss.
Then a man stood up and asked them what happened.
After they finished talking, the man directly called the doctor to treat the old lady. The old lady was fine, and the turmoil passed away.
"Who is that man? He's really a good man." Mrs. Chen was amazed.
Mrs. Liu was about to say something when a male voice asked, "Who are these?"
A man walked over leading a mule. He was wearing a lake blue robe, with fair skin and regular features. Not to mention very handsome, he was quite attractive.
"This is Mrs. Chen's family from my hometown. I told you about it." Mrs. Liu immediately said to the man, and then introduced them to both parties.
The man's name was Wei Kangping, who was the one who helped the Liu family to uphold justice that day. Seeing that the Liu family had nowhere to go, he asked her to live in an unused yard of his own, with or without rent.
It turned out to be him, Mrs. Chen looked at Wei Kangping and then at Mrs. Liu who was standing very close to him, as if she had guessed something.
It has been two years since Mrs. Liu lost her husband. If she is an orphan and widow, it would be nice if she can find a suitable person to take care of her.
"Sister-in-law Chen, how did you get here?" Sensing the look in Chen's eyes, Liu quickly changed the subject.
Chen then told about their escape to Wuling County.
Hearing that the Chen family came to the county today to buy donkeys, Liu was very surprised. She remembered that the Jiang family had a hard time, and they couldn't even eat enough. In the end, they had to sell their daughter to live. Got money to buy a donkey?
But it was quite a coincidence, she looked at Wei Kangping.
Wei Kangping rolled his eyes, and said to Jiang Cheng, "Brother Jiang, I happen to have a mule for sale here, if you think it suits you, take it away."
Jiang Cheng had already seen the mule he was holding in his hand, the big maroon mule, not much worse than a horse. He hurriedly said, "It's still not necessary." He was afraid that he would not be able to afford it.
"You have helped Qiuniang before, the price is easy to negotiate," Wei Kangping said.
Qiuniang is Liu's name.
Jiang Cheng wanted to decline, but Wei Kangping said directly, "Nine taels of silver, if you think it's worth it, I'll sell it to you."
Nine taels of silver is really cheap. Jiang Cheng has eight taels of silver in his purse. Jiang Yunzhu has a lot of things to buy today, so she brought more than one tael, just enough to buy this mule.
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng wanted it, Liu looked at Wei Kangping again.
Wei Kangping directly put the rein in Jiang Cheng's hand, and said with a smile, "Then it's settled, and it won't save me from going around selling it."
"How embarrassing." Jiang Cheng wanted to return the reins to him.
Wei Kangping didn't answer.
The two chatted for a while, Wei Kangping was determined to sell the mule to Jiang Cheng, but in the end Jiang Cheng could only hold the reins in his hand.
After paying, Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng took out the money bag from his bosom, put the tael of silver in it, handed the money bag to Wei Kangping, and said embarrassingly, "You count it. "
Wei Kangping weighed the wallet, "What else is there, I believe in you."
Coming out of the mule and horse market, Mrs. Chen still couldn't believe it. It felt like a dream. He happened to meet Mrs. Liu here, and bought a big mule for only nine taels of silver.
"This mule is only two years old, and it is at the age of youth and strength." Jiang Cheng couldn't help but excitedly said. While talking, he touched the mule's head with his hand, feeling that he couldn't touch it enough.
"I have to thank Qiu Niang." Chen said, without her, they would not be able to buy such a cheap mule.
"Yeah." Jiang Cheng nodded, "You come to the county some other day and bring her something more."
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu have already made an appointment, and they will often walk around in the future, so Jiang Cheng said so.
Mrs. Chen nodded, and suddenly smiled again, "She met a good person this time." She looked at that Wei Kangping, who seemed to have some family background, he was good-looking, and could save people from danger, so his character should not be wrong .
Jiang Cheng nodded, he also thought Wei Kangping was a good person.
Jiang Yunzhu pulled Jiang Wu from behind, and frowned slightly after hearing what they said. Why did she feel that Wei Kangping's eyes turned towards her intentionally or unintentionally just now? Is it her illusion, or...
"Yunzhu, are we still shopping?" Mrs. Chen turned around and asked Jiang Yunzhu, her words full of apology.
After buying this mule, they didn't have much money left. She knew that Jiang Yunzhu wanted to buy a lot of things.
Among other things, Jiang Yunzhu was also happy to be able to buy a mule so cheaply. As for things, buy some first, and buy the rest next time.
The family wandered around the county town.
The sun was in the west, and they were afraid that they would not be able to go home in time, so they immediately left the city and returned home.
After arriving home, Mr. Chen was very happy when he heard that he bought a good mule for nine taels of silver.
Jiang Cheng helped him to look at the mule.
Mr. Chen stretched out his hand to touch the mule's head, and then patted it all the way down. The more he touched it, the happier he was. He praised, "This is really a good mule."
"That's right." Jiang Cheng couldn't help being overjoyed, busy getting food and drink for the mule, for fear that he would be thirsty and hungry.
The Jiang family laughed a lot that night.
It was already Xu time in Shen's residence in the capital, and Shen Fengming just came back from outside, his whole body was cold.
"Why did you come back so late today?" Princess Danyang said distressedly as she handed him a bowl of ginseng tea.
Shen Fengming took the tea and drank a couple of sips, "The Zhenfu Division has a lot of things to do." He said.
"How about I talk to the emperor and ask him to change your errand." Princess Danyang said, she didn't want Shen Fengming to be the commander, not to mention the danger, nothing good would be lost.
"Mother, I like this job." Shen Fengming said.
Princess Danyang wanted to say something, but suddenly, she said, "Okay, then I don't care. Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
"Then go back and wash up quickly, and rest early." Princess Danyang said.
Shen Fengming nodded.
In the spacious bathroom, someone had prepared hot water for Shen Fengming.
He didn't need others to serve him. After washing himself, he entered the bedroom.
As soon as he walked in, he didn't feel right. In his own room, he knew exactly what it should smell like, but now in this room, there was a faint sweet smell.
"Who?" He frowned, his voice cold.
On the couch, the brocade quilt squirmed, making a seductive arc. A beautiful and beautiful face was exposed from the brocade quilt, and a white snow shoulder could be seen faintly.
This kind of invisible beauty is really attractive.
Shen Fengming only felt hot all over. No, he held onto the table next to him with his hand, his body was not right.
Suddenly, he remembered the cup of ginseng tea that Princess Danyang just handed him.
As the commander of the Qilin Guard, Shen Fengming's caution is enough for him to avoid all dangers. But what about the tea his biological mother handed him?
Shen Fengming tightly grasped the edge of the table with both hands, and the veins in his hands were bulging.
"Young master." Knowing that the medicine had worked, Du Ranshu stood up and walked towards Shen Fengming.
She was only wearing a tulle dress, while walking, every look, every movement was enough to drive any man crazy.
Finally, she came to Shen Fengming.
She reached out to touch Shen Fengming, her face flushed, who said that only women can make men fall in love, and an outstanding man can also make women's hearts sway.
The next moment, she opened her eyes wide in horror.
Shen Fengming pinched Du Ranshu's neck, like a **** glaring at a Buddha.
"Bang, bang", Princess Danyang heard that there was something wrong in the room, so she quickly opened the door and went in to check. I saw Du Ranshu sitting on the ground beside him, looking embarrassed, and Shen Fengming standing there with blood dripping from his left hand.
He was holding the corner of the table in his hand, and he actually broke off the corner of the table directly. The wooden thorn pierced his hand, causing blood to flow from him.
Princess Danyang only saw Shen Fengming's bleeding hand, she immediately shouted, "Quick, call the doctor."
"No need." Shen Fengming threw away the things in his hands, and staggered towards the bathroom next to him.
"Fengming, you..." Princess Danyang wanted to say something, but she was intimidated by Shen Fengming's glance back, she had never seen such a look from him.
She stopped talking.
"What happened?" Shen Dashi heard the noise and came to check.
He immediately noticed that something was wrong with Shen Fengming's appearance, and then looked at Du Ranshu, who was disheveled over there, he guessed a lot, and immediately said angrily to Princess Danyang, "How could you do this, he..."
He just said a word, but Princess Danyang cried and yelled at him as if she had found an outlet, "Why did I do this? What right do you have to ask me? You talk about benevolence and morality all day long, and you taught your children to be like this, and now you still don't want to be so angry." blame me.
I ask you…"
Princess Danyang quarreled with Master Shen again.
Shen Fengming had already returned to the bathroom at this time, and jumped into the cold water, he slowly regained his sanity.
Early the next morning, Yang Sheng took a case file and said to Shen Fengming, "Look at the Luzhou case, or go..."
"Okay." Shen Fengming said.
Yang Sheng was dumbfounded, he hasn't said what the case is yet, what did he promise?
