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

Chapter 145 Jiang Dashan in Kyoto
The man on horseback got the silver and returned the house deed to Jiangtou as expected.

Lao Jiangtou held the lost and recovered house deed to his chest, and scolded Jiang Dashan as an inhuman little beast.

"It's fine to ask someone to send a letter without giving money, but to come up with such a detrimental trick for the escort, forcing me, a father, to pay a full 20 taels!

I want to see what he wrote in his letter. If it's all nonsense, I'll chase him to the capital, break his hands and feet with my own hands, and throw him into the river to feed him! "

The man on horseback rode back to Weiyuan Escort Bureau before Lao Jiangtou finished cursing.

Old Jiangtou picked up the letter on the ground resentfully, shook the dust on it, opened it, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

It took a long time for Old Jiangtou to react from his surprise.

He looked around like a thief, put the letter in his arms, and got into the house.

When it was getting dark, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Dongliang came back from Jiang Erya's house.

Old Jiang looked at the mother and son, decided to ignore Jiang Dongliang, and only told Mrs. Jiang what Jiang Dashan said in his letter.

Lao Jiang stuffed an empty bowl to Jiang Dongliang and pushed him out of the house.

Jiang Dongliang held the bowl in a daze, "Father, what are you doing?" Why did you give him an empty bowl?Is this to drive him out of the house to beg for food?He doesn't seem to have done anything wrong today, right?
Old Jiangtou said: "Your mother and I want to discuss something. We don't cook at home tonight, so you can go to Erya's house for a meal. Her old lady Chen is the cook in Yuanwai Chen's house, and she is good at cooking. Come on, the food must be delicious."

When Jiang Dongliang heard the word "delicious", he put the empty bowl back into Lao Jiangtou's hand, and said, "It's fine for me to go alone, and I don't need to bring the bowl."

When escaping from famine in the past, in order to reduce the burden, each household would not bring extra bowls and chopsticks. There were only two empty bowls in the baskets carried by Jiang Erya and his daughter.So when Jiang Dongliang went to her house to eat and drink, he had to bring an empty bowl with him.

Now it's not the same as before, Jiang Erya's family has a big business, and there is no shortage of empty bowls for him.

Old Ginger nodded.

Jiang Dongliang waved to Lao Jiangtou and left.

Old Jiangtou immediately bolted the courtyard door, dragged the bewildered old lady Jiang into the room, and whispered.

"What?" Mrs. Jiang jumped up, "Has all his fairy water been robbed?"

Old Jiangtou quickly covered Mrs. Jiang's mouth, "Hold down, what are you doing so loudly? The next thing is important. Be quiet and listen to me."

Mrs. Jiang blinked her eyes and nodded, and then Old Jiang let go of her mouth.

Old Jiangtou continued: "Dashan said in the letter that the four of them worked so hard to enter Beijing, and then went straight to the house of that bastard nobleman.

In the end, in order to test the efficacy of the fairy water, the man chopped the legs of the four of them several times.

Seeing that the fairy water had a miraculous effect, the man directly snatched the fairy water and beat the family of four out.

The man also threatened that if they dared to make trouble again, he would prevent the family of four from seeing the sun the next day..."

At that time, Jiang Dashan had no choice but to endure that tone in order to save his life.

He spent all the valuables on his family of four before renting a dilapidated house in a poor area of ​​Kyoto.

In order to make a living, Jiang Dashan and Jiang Mingtang went to the pier to carry the big bags, while Xin Lamei and Jiang Mingzhu took over the washing and mending jobs.

But the family of four worked tirelessly for a month, and the money they earned was not enough to pay a month's rent.

Just when Jiang Dashan was at a loss, he accidentally saw a beggar begging a small piece of silver from a rich lady.

Jiang Dashan's two eyeballs almost protruded.

He carried the bag at the pier for a whole month, and in the end, he was not as good as a beggar begging for money, so who can argue with it!
Since being a beggar is so lucrative, why not all four of them come out to be beggars!
When Jiang Dashan went back to his residence and shared his thoughts, Jiang Mingzhu cried, "It's so embarrassing to be a beggar. Even if you beat me to death today, I won't be a beggar."

Jiang Dashan suddenly became angry. Doesn't he know that being a beggar is embarrassing?Does he not want a face?

Isn't this already unaffordable to eat, live, or live in Kyoto?

Jiang Dashan thought about going back to his hometown, but Qingjiang County has just experienced a drought, and there will be a long period of famine in the future, and he might starve to death when he goes back.

It is much better to be a beggar in Kyoto than to starve to death in your hometown.

But no matter how much Jiang Dashan persuaded and scolded, his son and daughter were unwilling to be beggars.Xin Lamei only knew how to hold her children and cry together, without saying anything.

In the end, Jiang Dashan ran to be a beggar alone.Xin Lamei and Jiang Mingzhu continued to do starch washing and mending, and Jiang Mingtang continued to carry large bags to the pier.

When Jiang Dashan was a beggar, he heard a lot about big families from his peers.

For example, which official kept his wife outside without telling his wife, and the children born in the outer room were older than the children in the main room.

For another example, which family's young lady doesn't love the noble son who was betrothed since childhood, but prefers the poor scholar, and fails to elope with the poor scholar, resulting in the poor scholar being caught by her father and brother and beaten to death.

For another example, what kind of young master wrote nonsense articles, but was praised by everyone, and the young master was flattered by the praise, thinking that he was a master in the literary world, but in fact he was the biggest strange flower in the literary world.

The person who was mentioned the most by the peers was the eldest son of the Yong'an Houfu.

That Yong'an Hou Shizi is a drunkard, he often carries a wine bottle and drinks it wherever he goes, and if he drinks too much, he just lies down on the street and sleeps.

There are usually two people behind him, but these two people sometimes lose track.

At this time, whoever picks up Yong'an Hou Shizi can carry Yong'an Hou Shizi to Yong'an Hou's mansion to receive the reward!
Once, Jiang Dashan was lucky enough to meet the legendary alcoholic Yong'an Hou Shizi on the corner of the street.

Jiang Dashan guessed who Yong'an Hou Shizi was after only one glance.He must be Jiang Erniu's biological father.Jiang Erniu looks too much like this Yong'an Hou Shizi!

Having met Prince Yong'an Hou, Jiang Dashan didn't have any other thoughts other than laughing at Jiang Erniu's pitiful muddy legs.

Until that day, he picked up half a jade pendant on the street.

He recognized it, that half of the jade pendant was clearly the one buried in the yard by his parents...

Jiang Dashan loved to listen to the corners since he was a child. Whenever Mrs. Jiang needed money, she would quietly mention the treasure buried in the courtyard with Old Jiang.

When mentioning that baby, Mrs. Jiang would bring up what Old Jiang did back then.

Therefore, Jiang Dashan already knew that Jiang Erniu was not his cousin.

Jiang Dashan was very curious about the treasure buried in the courtyard, and secretly dug it out to see it.

It's a pity that at that time he had the guts to dig out the half jade pendant, but he didn't have the guts to sell it.

Later, he wanted to dig out the jade pendant and sell it, but found that the clueless old Jiangtou had already moved the jade pendant to a place where he couldn't find it...

After Jiang Dashan picked up the half piece of jade pendant, he specifically inquired about the old affairs of Dingguo Duke's Mansion and Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and a bold plan rose in his heart...
