Chapter 220 Why Go Against Money?
autumn.
A light rain was falling.
A cold autumn rain.
The yellow leaves on the streets of Jiangzhou are not all yellow.
There was also a faint hint of green mixed in.
However, the leaves on the ground were all yellow leaves that had been knocked down by the rain; they would fall with a rustling sound when the wind blew gently.
Autumn always arrives later in Jiangzhou than in other places.
Starting from Jiangzhou, one would travel by boat, then north along the official road, and by the time one reached the capital, it would be covered in heavy snow.
Fortunately, the further north you go, the easier the road becomes, and the wider the official road becomes.
It's not a big deal.
Many people have left Jiangzhou in the past few days.
The tire tracks on the road were much deeper.
early morning.
The weather is slightly cooler.
The temperature difference in Jiangzhou is quite large, especially when it rains.
It gets a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings.
The gatekeeper of Jiang Miaomiao's house got up early, put on the new padded jackets that the mansion had given them, and was about to show them off to the neighbor across the street.
They found that the gate across the street was tightly closed.
No one went in or out to sweep or clean, and no one came in or out for quite a while.
Is he really gone?
He quickly reported this to Lady Xiuxiu, who rewarded him with a few copper coins.
However, it's hard not to feel a little sad.
Autumn is a season that can easily evoke sadness.
He was used to showing off in front of the other person for fun, and now he felt a little empty.
However, I'm also happy for the servant across the street; he's finally rid himself of that mother and daughter who were with him.
Although they were all servants, they were all powerless to control their own lives.
But finding a good host is extremely important and should be cherished.
With that thought in mind, he became even more energetic and worked even harder.
Jiang Miaomiao slept in a little late before getting up.
Sleeping on a rainy day is so comfortable; I'm too lazy to get up.
As usual, she threw back the covers and sat up.
Just about to space out...
Ouch, it's cold!
I shuddered.
Then a small wool cloak was draped over my shoulders, making me feel all warm and cozy.
After Xi'er helped her get dressed and washed, she carried her to the dining room.
On rainy days, I become lazy and don't want to walk.
“Miss, the madam and the young men haven’t gone out today. They’re waiting for you to have breakfast right now,” Xi’er said with a smile.
"Didn't Second Brother go to school?" Jiang Miaomiao asked curiously.
The eldest brother was determined to join the army and practiced swordsmanship diligently every day, determined to defeat Dali.
Although I won a few times occasionally, it wasn't a consistent win, and I needed to consolidate my gains.
The elder brother told Mr. Cui about his ambitions, and Mr. Cui was not surprised, as if he had always been grooming him to be in this direction.
They also gave him a lot of military books and strategy books.
So the eldest brother has been the happiest these past few days.
A good teacher is like this: he discovers the potential of his students and teaches them according to their individual needs.
As for the second brother, the road to the imperial examinations is long and arduous; the preliminary examinations are just the beginning, and he still has a long way to go.
However, even though it wasn't his day off today, he took a break.
Usually, either he has something to do, or his husband has something to do...
Xi'er replied, "Princess Liang and the Princess will be setting off for the capital tomorrow. They wanted to spend some quality time with Mr. Cui and the old lady today, so they sent Yan'er back."
"Where is Sister Qiao'er? Did she go back to Qing Shi Town to arrange a marriage?" We haven't seen Sister Qiao'er since the Chrysanthemum Banquet.
She was still asleep when her sister went back, so she didn't say goodbye.
"You're so clever, girl. You'll have a brother-in-law soon." Xi'er was very happy; she could enjoy the feast again.
They were eating at Miss Jiang's banquet, a truly joyous occasion.
Jiang Miaomiao was also very happy; she really enjoyed the banquet.
However, looking at today's breakfast, it was rice porridge, steamed buns, wontons...
It doesn't look like something Aunt Xiuxiu made; it must have been bought from outside.
Because the steamed buns bought outside have little filling and a lot of dough, and the rice porridge is just plain rice porridge without any minced chicken.
I couldn't work on the filling for the wontons, so they were a size smaller than the ones my aunt made.
It doesn't taste as good as Aunt Xiuxiu's.
Everyone had lost their appetite.
Aunt Jiang Yue finished eating, while Aunt Qianxue only drank some porridge.
Even the eldest brother ate less than usual.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that her family's life had indeed improved. Thinking back to the past, she could eat every last drop of the noodles her mother made.
Now they've become picky.
Then I heard my mother explain: Your aunt is busy running her pastry shop and may not be able to cook for us for a while. Please make do with what you have for now. I'll try to find a chef from Yipinju.
Then I heard my aunt ask my younger aunt: "Prince Jing has invited us to return to the capital together. Do you want to go back?"
All eyes turned to Mu Qianxue.
She nodded and said, "Let's go back. Sister, are you missing your child?"
"Of course..." Having been away for some time, Mu Jiangyue naturally missed her son, although she also missed her good friend and Xiao Miaomiao.
However, we will always meet again someday.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that her aunt was doing it on purpose, deliberately letting her aunt go back with Prince Jing to cultivate their relationship.
Well, what's done is done. If it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if a mother wants to remarry, she can't stop her.
After observing Prince Jing for these past few days, it has been discovered that he is not the carefree prince as rumored.
They are very dedicated and helped with several important tasks.
After the incident of Minister Qi's favoritism and corruption came to light, Fang Xuezheng immediately turned against him.
He handed over all the evidence he had collected to King Jing and took the opportunity to defect to him.
Therefore, King Jing has important matters to attend to when he returns this time.
Aunt Qianxue is not that naive and innocent.
As long as Jiang Zijin doesn't interfere, the two should have a happy ending.
Fate is a terrifying thing; you can neither grasp it nor escape it.
The current Prince Jing is completely different from the one in my dream.
The only word to describe the Jing King in the dream is cold-hearted.
It seems that it had been missing for quite some time, and presumably had experienced the harsh realities of life and endured inhuman treatment to survive.
He was eventually rescued by his bodyguards, though it took a while.
After all, few normal people would think of such an evil act as turning a person into a bear.
Indeed, people's temperament is often affected after experiencing major upheavals.
Mu Jiangyue asked her friend, "Yaoyao, I heard the servants talking about how the family across the street left before dawn. Is that true?"
"Let's go, it's time to take the house back..." Seeing that her daughter had no appetite, Lu Qingyao directly brought over the porridge and fed her herself.
Every grain of rice and every bowl of porridge should remind us of the hard work involved in its production, and we must not waste them.
Just as Mu Jiangyue was pondering the meaning of her best friend's words, Xiuxiu returned.
She drank a cup of tea before speaking, "Sister, the house has been taken back. I think it's fine, it doesn't need much repair. Should we sell it or keep it?"
"Keep it for now."
Mu Jiangyue's eyes widened. "What do you mean? You bought that house?"
"I bought it. I had someone buy it for four hundred strings of cash," Lu Qingyao chuckled.
Although the house wasn't large, it was in a good location. Qi Caiwei had bought it for 800 guan (a unit of currency), and even renovated it. But because she was in a hurry to get back and needed the cash, she sold it at a low price.
She got a great deal.
"But that's where Qi Caiwei used to live, it's really unlucky." Mu Jiangyue still felt uncomfortable.
Her sisters are really carefree.
Lu Qingyao didn't think so. She laughed and said, "So what? That house has never been haunted or anyone has died there. Even if you resell it, you can still make a few hundred taels."
If you don't make this money, you won't make it in vain.
Why go against money?
