Chapter 331: One hundred secrets and one sparse (two chapters in one)

In order to pretend that the death was natural, Grandma Tian Xin didn't even let her son's friends tell her a single word, and she didn't dare to leave a word to her A Yuan who had not yet returned home.

But what no one knew was that when the moment came when the sky and the earth began to spin, Grandma Tian Xin was still chanting the blessings of Bodhisattva with only one breath left.

Please bless her that after her mother is gone, her son Ayuan will not give her thirty taels of medicine money, first divorce her good wife, and then do things endlessly that will turn around and die in the blink of an eye. matter.

It can be seen that the old lady has already guessed it.

Even if her son was afraid that she would think too much every time he came back, he would deliberately lie to her and say:
“Mom, the reason why I earn more is because my son found a good job.

Have you seen this kind of thing on the road? Those who enter the restaurant will step on people's shoulders to get out of the car. That's why noble people pay attention to not getting dust on their feet.

The place where I work is even stricter, and the nobles are not allowed to step on their backs or even touch the ground with their feet, and sometimes they are not even allowed to go home.

But it has to be a big city, and if you do some work for the nobles, they will reward you with lots of money when they are happy. Working there is like picking up money.

Of course, we are both your sons and I. We have abilities ourselves, otherwise why would we be taken in by others? "

Whenever this happens, Grandma Tian Xin will smile and say, "My son is the most capable."

But Grandma Tian Xin knew very well that if noble people were all that stupid, they would never become noble people at all. Even if you ride on your neck, you won't be able to give fifty taels of silver.

As for the ability.

If her son really had that many abilities, he wouldn't have to wait until today.

People who are truly capable may not be able to make as much money as working outside, but they will still live their lives slowly no matter what they do in their hometown.

Don't forget, there was such a person in her family before, her son-in-law Youtian.

Grandma Tian Xin also saw her son go away for several months and come back covered with wounds. She hid the son and secretly cleaned the blood stains, and then burned the bloody clothes.

Even in the middle of the night, the yamen patrol knocked on the door to remind her of fire prevention. Ayuan's first reaction before opening the door was to look back at her and hesitate to speak, as if she was about to be taken away. He wanted to say something to her before leaving but could not say it until he was sent away. Only then will the yamen heave a sigh of relief.

Frequent awakening during sleep.

From then on, Grandma Tian Xin began to worry that as long as she was gone, her son would still be able to return to the road of living a down-to-earth life.

So this last maternal love, in the end, in order to pretend to make her son not feel guilty, the old lady did not dare to leave a last word even though she had thousands of words of advice in her heart.

At this time, when Xu Tianxin saw the visitor, more than a month had passed since Tianxin's grandma disappeared.

Grandma Tian Xin’s body had long been rolled up in a straw mat by the local government, burned to ashes and put into an earthen jar.

The weather is hot, and in such a large city, there will be many ownerless corpses like beggars and others at the end of the day. It cannot be stored at all to avoid epidemics.

The local government only indicated on the earthen jar containing the ashes the clothes and shoes worn by the deceased at the time, the general appearance of the deceased, whether he was a man or a woman, the place and cause of death.

In this way, the ashes in the earthen jar are only kept for one month.

After a month, if there is still no family to claim the ashes, even the ashes will be thrown into the wild.

Fortunately, on the day he was thrown away, the medicine boy came.

Previously, Grandma Tian Xin wanted to know her true condition and gave the little medicine boy some money.

Then Grandma Tian Xin asked the medicine boy to earn the difference and asked helpers to sell her remaining medicine packages to people with the same disease, even if they were very cheap.

In the end, Ayuan gave her mother half a year's worth of medicine for thirty taels of silver. Her mother only used it for a few days, and sold all the remaining medicine in exchange for seventy taels of silver.

Logically speaking, the drug boy is used to seeing miserable people like Grandma Tian Xin.

Over the past year in Dachengchi, countless poor people have knelt at the door of their medical clinic, kowtowed to their bruised heads and cried out for the doctors' kindness, begging them for free treatment.

But how could he be treated for free?

He didn't understand the principle of whether doctors were benevolent or not. He remembered that his employer once lamented when he accepted him as a disciple. Doctors also need to eat, and doctors also need to support their families.

Don't prescribe high-priced medicines to the poor people indiscriminately, and try to find ways to use affordable medicines with the same efficacy to replace the loans. This is just helping them, and there is no need to feel guilty.

Otherwise, the next people who will kneel in front of a grain shop, kowtow until their heads are bleeding, and beg the grain sellers for some relief, will be doctors like them.

But this time about Grandma Tian Xin, the drug boy still had trouble sleeping and eating.

Yaotong has seen the tall and big Ayuan, mainly because he is afraid of retaliation.

So when the Yamen servant was about to scatter the ownerless ashes in the wilderness, he finally gritted his teeth and ran over, said a nice word with a smile, and took out a tael of good money and handed it to the other party. Then I was able to take away the earthen jar of Tian Xin’s ashes and buried them under a big tree on the hill behind the local temple.

That's the whole story.

But Grandma Tian Xin was so careful that she forgot one thing.

Xu Tianxin looked at the silver coins in his hand, including nineteen taels and thirty-seven copper coins.

Which elder would give money like this.

It was as if he no longer planned to live a happy life, so he would collect all his money and leave it all to her.

There is also nearly ten taels of food.

Xu Tianxin asked her three uncles to entertain the guests in the house. She deliberately selected a bag of coarse grains and put it on the scale to read the weight.

As she guessed, she had opened it and eaten it, not the whole catty.

On the contrary, polished rice and white flour are weighed in whole kilograms.

Xu Tianxin pretended to be casual and asked the visitor a few questions.

Before, the other party told me about Grandma Tian Xin's physical condition as soon as she entered the door.

He said that the old lady was taking medicine. The reason why your uncle took your grandma away was to go out and earn some money to treat your grandma.

Since taking the medicine, the medical clinic in the big city is quite famous for its medical skills. The weather in Jincheng is also warmer than here, and it is getting better day by day after I can breathe again. Your grandma said it was much better than returning to the North.

The visitor also asked what Grandma Tian Xin did in Jincheng on weekdays, and how she made friends with the families in the alley. Some women had to do laundry work, so she helped take care of their children, and she also helped his seriously ill family. The elders told me everything about cooking, because they were afraid that Xu Tianxin would miss her grandma.

So Xu Tianxin asked something else.

She pretended to be curious and asked how many days the other party had traveled from Jincheng to Fucheng.

When I heard the answer was the 20th, I was busy selling goods in Fucheng and delayed for a few days before I came here.

Xu Tianxin took the opportunity to suggest that the other party come to Zhenbei to sell goods.

The three Xu family members who were accompanying the guests heard that they were grateful that the other party had specially brought things for their niece. It was called these gifts, so they drove several days from Fucheng to Erdaohe.

Xu Youliang said: "If more good things come to Zhenbei in the future, I dare not say that the income will be more than in Fucheng, but now the people's life is good, there are many merchants in the mutual market, and the government tax revenue is less. The tax and bank accounts are evenly distributed. Calculated, it’s pretty much the same. And there’s no mess about gas jams, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

He also said that if the other party wants to come here in the future, there will be a lot of people here in the north of the town. If they really encounter any trouble, the Xu family will definitely help if they can help.

Xu Tianxin waited for her second uncle to finish, then suddenly said: "My grandmother has very important things. I must ask my uncle to come back as soon as possible. It is about me. When you go back, you can see him, right?"

Mrs. Xu was not at home today. She took Qin Niang's brother Dali to Lao Tian's house to collect the ducks. When the three Xu family members heard this, they didn't show it on their faces, but they were stunned. What happened to Tian Xin? Their mother never said that.

"Okay, I'll tell him. I have to leave first."

After the visitors left, the Xu family looked at their eldest niece's back, and after careful examination, they realized that every question they asked was actually useful.

Xu Youliang said: "It takes twenty days to reach the north from Jincheng. Looking at that man's honest and hunched back, their team can move very fast."

Then this involves what that person does.

That person was also careless. Didn't he know that his old Xu family often received caravans and knew too well how many thousands of miles it was from where to where?

From Jincheng to here, we have to pass through Jizhou City and Beijing City.

This is not the point. The point is to buy pigs and show them in the pen. If you and Uncle Tian Xin are very good friends, it is hard to say what Uncle Tian Xin did.

Anyway, it won't be as simple as that person said. It's just stepping on the backs of noble people in a wealthy den to earn tips.

Also, it's not like the three of them have never been out and endured hardships.

Money is so easy to earn outside.

At that time, the three of them at least had a guide.

Uncle Tian Xin doesn't have one. He is a nameless person on the road. He is someone who will be investigated even if he lives in a big car shop.

What's more, Tian Xin's grandma is sick, and Uncle Tian Xin has to support his mother. In order to support the family, he must have been beaten while kneeling outside. He was almost killed and never came back. He also had to pretend to be himself when he opened the door of the house. Making money is quite easy.

The three of them have experienced that feeling.

For little people like them who are walking around outside and trying their best to earn a meal without taking their rough lives seriously.

And for those who earn dozens or dozens of taels, Tian Xin only received nearly twenty taels of silver. How could he possibly earn it if he didn't do some stupid things?

In fact, the second question asked by Tian Xin is also supporting evidence.

Xu Youyin looked at his brothers and muttered:

"The second brother recommended him to sell goods in Zhenbei, but the man didn't answer the call. Why wasn't he interested? The city management in and out of Zhenbei is strict, and even the small roads are blocked. Maybe he went to Fucheng to sell this time. If you don’t follow the rules, you can only go to Fucheng and don’t dare to come here.”

What can I sell? It’s worth traveling thousands of miles. How about selling colored glaze?
The shopkeeper of Jincheng Hushi said that Jincheng has such things. He heard it while chatting with his eldest niece.

Xu Youyin thought: It can't be selling beef, right? However, beef is not legal either. I heard that the management of Jincheng was loose, and good cattle were often killed secretly.

The thing that made the three of them murmur the most was the last question asked by their eldest niece.

It is a custom that as long as there is an uncle, especially when a girl meets and gets engaged, the uncle must come forward in order to have a happy marriage. My mother-in-law is eldest.

And their Tian Xin said that specifically. Xu Youyin touched Xu Youcang's arm and complained: "It doesn't look like the acting at all. Our Tian Xin even smiled shyly, but the other party didn't ask if he was looking at her, congratulations or something like that. "

The three brothers understand the rest.

After all, the person who can make Grandma Tian Xin hand over so much money with confidence must have a very good relationship with Tian Xin's uncle A Yuan.

Under normal circumstances, even if it is not easy to ask the girl about her marriage, she would definitely ask their three uncles privately. Only if they have a good idea can they go back and convey the message, and then let Uncle Tian Xin think carefully about whether to come back quickly after traveling thousands of miles.

As a result, the other party ended the conversation with a crisp line.

This attitude shows that he does not dare to take up this topic anymore, and is a little afraid that they will ask. If it is inconvenient for you to see him, tell him the location. Our family will hire someone ourselves, or even our Xu family can hire someone.

The other party is not a fool. When he came to Erdaohe and saw the situation of the old Xu family, he must have inquired about it when he entered Zhenbei. He should be able to guess that the Xu family has the ability and dare to spend money to go to Jincheng for the marriage of the only daughter in the family. Inviting people.

Xu Youcang remained silent until then and said: "He didn't dare to answer any more words, which shows that he doesn't know when he will see Uncle Tian Xin. It seems that Uncle Tian Xin is either squatting somewhere and doing illegal work to make money. Either he is imitating our big brother in selling goods.”

Normally, when a family makes a fortune, they all like to do the same thing. It doesn't mean that everyone is interested in this thing, but that someone has found a way out, so just follow suit.

Xu Youcang was a person who had been here before, and he had thought about leaving home secretly and following the example of his elder brother, selling goods through the west entrance. Because he remembered what his eldest brother said: If there is no prodigal son in the family, where will the wealth come from?

Xu Tianxin stood behind the three uncles and suddenly said: "My uncle may still surpass my father."

The three people turned around: "What do you mean?"

The situation has opened up a bit, and "it means that the person is not in the country", so he sells goods outside the country.

The three Xu family members were stunned: If they were to go overseas, it would not be worth the trip without selling salt and weapons. It was too far.

That night, when Mrs. Xu came back, Xu Tianxin put his arms around her waist and said that she was a little worried about Jincheng's grandma.

"Breasts, you know? There are parts and pieces."

Mrs. Xu patted her granddaughter on the shoulder and tried to persuade her: "It's possible. You don't understand the psychology of the elderly. She's looking too far ahead. The worst thing she can do is live her life tightly. It's better to take advantage of this rare opportunity and give you more. One article is one article.”

"Okay, even if that's the case. But Nai, she's sick. I wonder where my uncle is now."

This is also something that Mrs. Xu has been thinking about since she came back and saw the money given by her child's grandmother.

When her granddaughter saw her, she spread her little hands to show her the money.

It's a bit of a pity to say that we didn't meet up against each other. Their family started a little late, and Grandma Tian Xin and her uncle left first. Otherwise, since there is so much work at home, I would just work at her house to make money.

But it is useless to talk about that at the moment. The only problem is that the two of them cannot go to Jincheng.

Not long ago, I heard from the shopkeeper of a drug dealer in the Huahu Market that the emperor had 20,000 servants and maids to serve him, and they also used horse-drawn carriages. I heard that it would take seven days to travel to Chengde.

What's more, they have to go to Fucheng first, which takes half a month to go back and forth, and then from Fucheng to Hebei, Hebei to Beijing, and Beijing to Shanxi.

There are nine treasures squatting in the mountain col, and people only recognize Tian Xin for delivery.

And we all agreed that if we want to cook for others, we can take ten or eight days off, but we can't leave for several months at a time.

If these workshops at home are abandoned, shipping supervision will also be a problem. Even if the family has a few sons, they are cultivating land and building houses, but traders are coming one after another to shop.

There is also a live broadcast room. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. The villagers have been rushing to make goods recently and have already pre-sold them. We will sell the goods through live broadcast. After that, even fruits from the mountains were sold every month, and they couldn't find any while walking on the road.

"I really want to bring your grandma back. No matter what kind of business your uncle is doing, let her go back to her hometown to take medicine and stay there. Why is she waiting in Jincheng? It's just a treasure, this candidate..."

"mother."

"Emma, ​​who is it? The third child." Old Mrs. Xu sat on the window sill, and first beat Xu Youcang twice with a broomstick:

"Grandma is so stupid. She suddenly appeared out of nowhere and scared me."

She announced that no one would be allowed to sit on the wall for her in the future. What if she said something that shouldn't be said?

The old lady next door: "..."

My daughter-in-law now basically doesn't avoid people when she calls grandma a jerk.

The old lady pretended not to hear and went back to the house, muttering to Xu Zhaodi: "Go to bed quickly. You have to do so much work in a day. Don't you feel tired? And what are you following Tian Xin? Don't just watch her read at night and not sleep. She will do it in the morning." I can’t afford it either.”

On this side, Xu Youcang was saying: "Mom, let me go to Jincheng and pick her up personally for Grandma Tian Xin."
