Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 262 The new county magistrate
The family put on a new dress and drove the carriage to the city.

The horse is the big white horse that Zhao Ke gave to Shen Yuan, and the carriage was bought in the twelfth lunar month when he needed to buy new year's goods.

After buying the carriage and the New Year's expenses, Shen Yuan still has 170 taels of silver in his hand. He plans to go to a restaurant in the county after the Lantern Festival. Clear.

In addition, if you don't start your business, you will spend all your money soon.

Besides, Ji Feng will be seven years old soon after the new year, and he has to go to school. Although Shenjia Village also has ethnology, it is not as good as the county.

After discussing with Ji Xun, the two decided to take the opportunity of seeing Zhang Neng off and stay in the county for two days, and go down to a suitable restaurant as soon as possible, so that they can settle in the county.

As for the courtyard in Shenjia Village, Shen Yu'an is reluctant to sell it, and she will let Aunt Zhou take care of it when the time comes. This small courtyard has witnessed many loving days between her and Ji Xun. If you have time, come back and live there for a few days, how good?
The other several acres of fertile land Shen Yuqin originally wanted to give to Aunt Zhou and Uncle Shen to grow, but this would definitely arouse the hatred of Granny Wang's family. These people are very difficult to deal with, so let's talk about it later.

The carriage passed through the village, and the villagers greeted Ji Xun warmly when they saw Ji Xun.

Everyone has also heard that Ji Xun's leg was healed, and it was Shen Yu'an who healed it. Now, no one in the whole village dares to underestimate them, and they even showed some respect when they met.

In just a few months, under Ji Xun's teaching, that silly and vicious girl became smarter. She can ride horses, perform autopsies, do business, and now she is also good at medicine, which is completely different from before.

It seems that girl Shen was originally a smart person, but she was also beaten stupid by her step-mother. Fortunately, she married a good man. See how beautiful she is now? How capable?
When passing by Aunt Zhou's house, Shen Yuan got off the car with a food box, and inside it was a roast chicken and a roast duck, for the uncle, aunt and brothers to try.

Aunt Zhou took the food box and her eyes were slightly red, "Uncle and Auntie are really a blessing from the previous life. Although we don't have a daughter, God has rewarded us with a daughter who is closer than our own daughter."

Shen Yuyan immediately thought of his parents in modern times, his nose was sore and his eyes turned red: "My aunt is wrong, it is God who has pity on me, poor me has no father, no mother and no brothers, that's why I have sent so many relatives."

Uncle Shen didn't talk much, he stood in the main room with a loving face and looked at him. He took his three sons and mud-fired tiles with him all the year round.

I didn't feel well these two days, so I didn't go to work in the brick factory.

Shen Yuan decided to start a business and let the uncle and aunt and several brothers earn some money and enjoy some blessings.

"Okay Yuu, let's get in the car."

Shen Xingwang also carried some gifts, and got into the carriage with Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan had discussed with them about the restaurant sale early in the morning. Once the restaurant was sold, the elder brothers would be the best helpers. Now let Shen Xingwang follow him into the city to visit the restaurant first.

"Brother Ji Xun, let me drive the carriage." Shen Xingwang put the things in his hands into the carriage, and smiled honestly at Ji Xun.

"Okay." They were all his own, so there was no need to be polite, Ji Xun handed the whip to Shen Xingwang, and got into the carriage.

"Mother and uncle, go inside and warm up by the fire. It's windy outside." Shen Yuan waved to the uncle and aunt with concern. Seeing that both the uncle and the aunt were wiping tears, they also truly felt the same care as their own daughters.

Ji Feng was motion sick and fell asleep after shaking in the car.

It may also be that this year has been too happy and exciting. I was tired of skating and setting off firecrackers all day, and running around like crazy.

Shen Yuan was also tired, and fell asleep leaning against Ji Xun's arms.

With two children, one big and one small, Ji Xun hugged one in each arm, feeling that now that his legs are healed, he can finally be a backer for them.

"By the way, Xingwang, go to Dahe Town first." Ji Xun ordered.

Shen Yu'an didn't go to the town to pay Uncle Bai New Year's greetings and has been brooding about it. Last night, he specially steamed pork and made roast chicken and roast duck. He packed several food boxes to send to Uncle Bai.

Shen Xingwang naturally knew that Yu Yu's sister was going to Dahe Town, so he also brought New Year's greetings to shopkeeper Bai.

Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai had no children, and they stayed in the medicine hall for the new year.

Although he runs a pharmacy, Uncle Bai doesn’t actually make a lot of money. He is a kind-hearted person. When poor people come to see a doctor and get medicine, he always pays on credit without saying a word, so the daily expenses of the couple depend entirely on Bai. Uncle works to earn money.

"Xingwang, why are you here?" From a distance, Shopkeeper Bai, who was standing at the entrance of the medicine hall, saw Shen Xingwang driving a carriage, guessed that Shen Yuan and Ji Xun had come to pay New Year's greetings, and hurriedly greeted Aunt Bai to come out.

"Yuan, we're here." Ji Xun woke up Shen Yuan, and got out of the car with Ji Feng in his arms.

"Hmm." Shen Yuan rubbed his confused eyes, got out of the car with a food box.

Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai were very happy to see them coming. Each of them stuffed a big bag, and they couldn't refuse no matter what.

Lunch was eaten in the backyard of Baohetang, roasted chicken, roasted duck and braised meat were all used to entertain them, and many other dishes were added.

Fortunately, besides the food, Shen Yuan made new clothes and shoes for Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai, which also touched them badly, calling Shen Yuan a daughter bestowed on them by God.

Shen Yuan felt very happy, who would think too much of her parents who love her so much?
She also heard from Zhang Neng later that Uncle Bai was afraid to invite Mr. Xun Ya, so he stopped Mr. Xun Ya's carriage and kowtowed a dozen times, using his own head to guarantee that Shen Yuan was wronged!
Speaking of this scene, even Zhang Neng's face was full of emotion. It's not that parents are better than parents. Such feelings are hard to find in the world.After coming out of Baohetang, several people drove the carriage to the county.

It was already evening when we arrived in the county, Ji Xun ordered Shen Xingwang to drive the carriage directly to the county government office.

The yamen servants in the yamen met Ji Xun and Shen Yuan without a smile on their faces. Although they didn't know their identities, Mr. Zhang spent the Chinese New Year at their home, which showed their friendship.

Zhang Neng entertained Ji Xun and his party in the backyard of the yamen. That night, Shen Yu'an was still in the kitchen, cooking two special dishes plus a boiled fish hot pot.
Two grass carp weighing three catties are used. The fish head and fish bone soup are used as the bottom of the pot. The fish meat is sliced ​​into even thin slices. The spring water in the space is used. The meat is tender and oily but not greasy. Zhang Neng is very nostalgic after eating. , He couldn't stay in Wantian County as the county magistrate and didn't leave.

"Shen Yu, tell me, one day in the future, will you open a restaurant in the capital?" Zhang Neng asked, thinking that if Shen Yuan could go to the capital to open a restaurant, then he would be able to satisfy his hunger.

Shen Yuan's curious eyes widened: "The capital? Is it far from here?" "She's a country girl who hasn't even been to Lingzhou City.

"The capital, Yongsheng, must be more than two thousand miles away from here."
"It's so far away, but when I make money in the future, I must take Afeng to the capital with my husband to broaden my horizons."

Zhang Neng: Your husband still needs you to take him to the capital to open his eyes? Which corner is he not familiar with?
Haha said: "That's good, then remember to go to Xuan.
"By the way, who is the new magistrate?" Ji Xun interrupted him.

"My surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Deming." Zhang Neng answered, "After the handover is completed tomorrow morning, he will take office."
