Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 144 Letter from Jiang Dashan
After Jiang Erniu returned home, he smiled and said to the housekeeper of Chen's house, "My Erya and Silly Xing got married on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, please go back and tell Yuan Wai Chen and them to come to the wedding banquet on time."

The officer in charge of Chen's residence hurriedly responded, hurried back to Chen's residence, and announced the good news to Chen's staff.

Member Chen said painfully: "Yes, before the soap factory is completed, I have to give this aunt another generous gift."

Fortunately, again, he is not alone.Other gentry and wealthy households could not escape either.

Chen Yuanwai was very "kind" and sent people to each house to spread the word, to pass on this "good news" to everyone, and let everyone follow him in heartache.

After the housekeeper of Chen's house left, Jiang Erniu went to Lizheng's house next door.

Within a long time, everyone in Xinglin Village knew that Jiang Erya and Sha Xing were getting married.

Wave after wave of people came to join in the fun, even Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang came.

Mrs. Jiang approached Jiang Erniu, and wanted Jiang Erniu to hand over the errands of collecting money and keeping accounts on the wedding day to Jiang Dongliang, so that Jiang Dongliang could show his face in front of all the guests.

What if a guest sees that Jiang Dongliang can write and count, falls in love with him, and wants him to be his son-in-law?Right?This is a great thing!
Jiang Erniu felt that Mrs. Jiang's thoughts were too beautiful, but he did not refuse Mrs. Jiang's request.

Jiang Dongliang could indeed write and count, and his family really needed such a person to do such a favor on the wedding day.It's nothing to promise.

But Jiang Dongliang insisted that he couldn't do it alone, so he had to bring Lizheng's youngest son together, one to keep accounts and one to collect money, so as not to make mistakes in the rush.

After listening to Jiang Dongliang's words, Li Zheng's youngest son expressed his willingness to help.

When Jiang Erniu and Lizheng were discussing about the arrangements for the wedding, old Jiangtou quietly called Jiang Erniu aside.

He asked Jiang Erniu: "Erya is about to get married, what about you as a father?

Don't you think about marrying another one to come in and have more sons for you to inherit the incense?
I went back to your uncle's and grandpa's house a while ago. There is a granddaughter named Suanmei in his family. Do you remember?
It's the one who's two years younger than you, who was always arguing to be your daughter-in-law when she was a child.

She married someone a few years ago, and gave birth to four big and fat boys in a few years.

It's a pity that there was a drought a while ago, her husband and the first three sons died, and she and her youngest son were left in the family.

I thought, why don't you two get together. "

When Jiang Erniu heard this, he turned around and was about to leave.

Old Jiang stopped him, and continued: "If she comes in, she can give you a son for nothing first. What a bargain. If you want to have your own, she can give you another one."

Jiang Erniu said: "Just take care of your own family affairs. You don't have to worry about my affairs.

Don't mention things like just now, I don't like to hear them, and Er Ya doesn't like to hear them either.

If Erya heard this, she might hit someone. "

Old Jiang looked in the direction where Jiang Erya was, just in time to see Jiang Erya raised her eyebrows and raised her fist at him.

Old Jiangtou panicked, and confessed to Jiang Erniu: "It's all the fault of the sour plum, she fell in love with your five or six hundred acres of land, and this big house.

She asked me to be a matchmaker for her, and she said that after the matter is completed, she will pick fifty acres of your family's five or six hundred acres of land and give it to me..."

The sour plum also said that when she came in, she would drive Jiang Erya away and leave all the Jiang family's wealth to her child.

In fact, Lao Jiang felt that this plan would not work when he heard it.

But thinking about the [-] mu of land promised by Suanmei, he still decided to talk to Jiang Erniu.

What if Jiang Erniu went into a daze and agreed?

Now that he has said it, if Jiang Erniu refuses to agree, he will give up.

Fearing that Jiang Erya would rush over and beat him up, Old Jiangtou uttered all the small calculations in Suanmei's mind, left himself clean, and then ran home.

As soon as Lao Jiangtou ran to the door of his house, he saw a man riding a horse standing outside his door.

Old Jiangtou asked: "Who are you? What are you doing standing in front of my house?"

The man on horseback replied: "I'm a bodyguard from Weiyuan Bodyguard Bureau. I just came back from Kyoto, and I was entrusted to deliver a letter to Lao Jiangtou of Lao Jiang's family in Xinglin Village."

When talking about the letter from Kyoto, Old Jiangtou first thought of Jiang Dashan.Among the people he knew, Jiang Dashan and Jiang Erniu were the only ones who could be related to the capital.

Jiang Erniu was staying in Xinglin Village well, so Jiang Dashan could only be the one who sent the letter.

Old Jiangtou stretched out his hand towards the man, and said, "I am Old Jiangtou, please give me the letter."

The man on horseback didn't believe it, so he insisted on asking Lao Jiangtou to prove that he was Lao Jiangtou of Xinglin Village.

Lao Jiangtou had no choice but to take out his household registration book and identity card.

In the end, after seeing these two evidences, the man on horseback still didn't believe that he was Old Jiangtou, and insisted on asking him to present some other evidence.

Old Jiangtou almost didn't want that letter anymore, it was too much trouble.In addition to the household registration book and the small bamboo card of identity, how else can he prove that he is himself?

The man on the horse reminded him, "You can take out the deed of Lao Jiang's house. You are the head of the family, so your name must be written on the deed?"

While Old Jiangtou was curious about the content of the letter, he was also wary of whether the person in front of him was a liar.

He struggled for a while, but in the end, curiosity overcame his guard.He went into the house to get the deed.

When the man on horseback saw the house deed, he snatched it away and held it in his hand.

Old Jiangtou suddenly became anxious, and shouted: "Come on, someone is robbing my house deed!"

It's a pity that Lao Jiangtou yelled more than a dozen times, but none of the villagers came to help. The villagers all went to Jiang Erya's house to join in the fun.

The man on horseback ignored Old Jiang's yelling, calmly took out a small bamboo tube from his pocket, and poured out a letter from the bamboo tube.

He threw the rolled up letter to Old Jiang, and said, "Here, this is the letter your son sent you."

Old Jiangtou was about to cry, he said: "I don't want any more letters, please return my house deed to me."

The man on the horse said: "I don't want your house deed either, but who made your son beg in the street, and still didn't forget to send you a letter?
He stopped me at the beginning and told me that as long as I help him bring the letter from Kyoto to Xinglin Village and deliver it to you personally, you will definitely reward me with 20 taels of silver.

Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get the silver, give me 20 taels, and I will return the deed to you immediately.

I'm not afraid to tell you that this bad idea of ​​holding your house deed first and then asking you to give me the money was actually offered to me by your son himself.

If he hadn't said that, I would never have made this trip for him.

You are not allowed to renege on your debts, if you renege on your debts, I will really take away your house deed..."

Old Jiangtou managed to rebuild such a new brick and tile house on top of the ruins, of course he was reluctant to let the deed of the house fall into the hands of others.

He gritted his teeth, went back to his room and took out 20 taels of silver...
