After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Ying Bao suddenly sat up from the bed, clutching her pounding heart for a while before calming down.

There was no sign of this dream, but it was very real, and there was a strong smell of blood in his nose.

After breakfast, Ying Bao told her father and Mr. Wu about the strange dream she had.

Jiang Sanlang thought that his daughter was frightened by the crowd watching the list, but then he thought of his daughter's premonition ability, and suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Did the girl dream that the foreigners would come over in the future?How can this be?

But what if it is true?

If there is a real turmoil, the family's food will no longer be able to be sold.

Mr. Wu and Jiang Sanlang had different ideas.

He stroked his beard and thought of the possibility of a Jurchen invasion.

The foreigners described by Ying Bao all look like Jurchens, and they are indeed not very stable.

In recent years, the Jurchens have become more and more powerful. They used the money given by Daqian to raise horses for Daqian. As a result, Daqian did not see a single horse, but they fattened up the Jurchens.

But he has no official position, and his son is just a sixth- and seventh-rank official who moved from one poor county to another. He is too far away from the center of power, and he can't even hand over the paperwork to the imperial court.

However, today's government is basically dominated by Taishi Xiao, and as long as the opinions of other officials disagree with him, no matter right or wrong, the official will either be relegated or sent into exile.

Others may see that the capital is prosperous, but in fact it is just an appearance.

Take a look outside the prefectural and county towns, and you will see that there is famine and banditry everywhere, the people in the countryside are in dire straits, and there are people fleeing famine on every road.

The Jurchens are ready to make moves at the border, becoming more and more aggressive every time. He wouldn't be surprised if they attack the capital of Guizhou one day.

Seeing that both of them had their own thoughts and couldn't give her an answer, Yingbao ran to Mrs. Wen's house to chat with Sister Wen.

There were so many people yesterday that she didn't have time to ask about Wen Shu's marriage, but today she happened to ask them together.

Wen Shu was a little embarrassed and didn't really want to say anything.

But seeing Ying Bao staring at her without blinking, she had no choice but to say: "My grandmother has appointed me as the husband of the Xiao family."

"W-what?" Yingbao thought she heard wrongly: "Which Xiao family?"

Wen Shu: "He is the second son of the Xiao Yushi family."

Ying Bao's face twitched, a little in disbelief: "Are you talking about Xiao Chengjun?"

Wen Shu nodded shyly.

Yingbao hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to say bad things about Xiao Chengjun, "Sister Wen, let me tell you, that Xiao Chengjun is not a good person. He, he already has his heart, so don't marry him."

Wen Shu was surprised: "Why did Ying Bao say that? Who does he care about?"

"Chen Tiantian, you know, right? Xiao Chengjun is interested in her. Last time, he wanted to beat me because of her." Yingbao is bound to ruin Sister Wen's marriage.

That Xiao Chengjun is selfish, arbitrary, and paranoid. Regardless of whether he will have an affair with Chen Tiantian in the future, sister Wen's marriage to someone like him will definitely ruin her life.

"Also, he left my mother and daughter halfway on purpose last time, and gave away all my boxes. Sister Wen, who do you think he gave the boxes to?"

"Who? Couldn't it be sister Wenjiao?" When Wen Shu returned to Yuzhou, she seemed to have heard that Mr. Xiao's family had sent five boxes of gifts to Wenjiao and Wentian, but the two of them took the boxes home and opened them , they found that there were piles of rags inside, with nothing of value at all, but the two sisters were very angry, and said that it must be Xiao Langjun who did it on purpose.

Ying Bao: "It's for Wen Tian Wen Jiao." She didn't know this until later.

Wen Shu frowned.No wonder I felt weird when I returned to Yuzhou. It turned out that this is how the Xiao family's marriage came about.

It is estimated that it was not originally meant for me, but was temporarily changed later.

"I will talk to my mother about this." She was unwilling at first, but she couldn't bear that her grandmother and second aunt kept praising Xiao Chengjun for being so good, so she reluctantly nodded.

My mother didn't know about it at first, but later she found out. Seeing that her grandmother was trying her best to promote the matter, she decided to wait and see.

Right now it's just an exchange of Geng Tie letters, it hasn't been officially decided yet.

Seeing that Sister Wen was not interested in Xiao Chengjun, Yingbao breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with her for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

When I returned to my yard, I saw that my father had already started packing his things and was preparing to take a boat back to Qinchuan County tomorrow.

The rest of the people have also packed up and are just waiting to leave the city before dawn tomorrow.

It is already July, the hottest time of the year.

Yingbao secretly made a bowl of assorted ice drinks and gave them to Mr. Wu and Jiang Jie Yuanbao.

The assorted ice drink is made with cooked peaches, apricots, lychees and longan, with a little fermented rice wine in it.

Mr. Wu liked this ice drink very much and ate half a bowl in one go.

After eating, he was still unsatisfied. He stroked his beard and said, "It would be great if Shi'er could also try it."

Seeing that he mentioned Wu Shi, Ying Bao took advantage of the situation and asked, "Where did Uncle Wu take office?"

"Sichuan." Mr. Wu sighed: "I thought he could stay in the capital, but I didn't expect that he was arranged to go to Shu."

There are many mountains and little land in that place, the most poor, and the people are barbaric and uneducated. In some places, they still wear animal skins, and the whole family lives in caves.

Ying Bao: "What about Granny Wu? Where did she go?"

"Your mother-in-law Wu went to Jianglin. I have an eldest daughter married in Jianglin, and she has gone to my daughter's house." Not counting living at the daughter's house, they also have a house in Jianglin. The wife felt lonely at home alone, so she brought two A servant girl went there, at least she could see her daughter and grandchildren every day.

Furthermore, her wife's natal family is Jiang Lin, and she knows many people there, so she wants to find a good match for her son.

"Oh." Qinchuan County, where Yingbao is located, is far away from Jiang Lin. She probably knows the direction, but has never been there.

Yingbao took out some more pills and handed them to Mr. Wu: "These are longevity pills. One pill a day will extend your life. You can take them together with the ones last time."

She never ran out of pills for Mr. Wu. Even when she was traveling, she would prepare a year or two's worth of pills and give them to her younger brother and Mr. Wu.

Including my own grandparents, they also reserved pills for them.

Now they are in good health, and Mr. Wu took his young apprentice to see his son even after climbing mountains and wading through water.

"Okay." Mr. Wu smiled and took the pills and put them into his bag.

He also learned from Ying Bao. When he went out, he would have someone make a big satchel to carry on his body, and put a lot of odds and ends and silver coins in it.

Yingbao took out another package: "This is for Uncle Wu. I don't know the address, so I can only entrust Grandpa Wu to deliver it."

She was still worried about whether the tumor on Wu Daozi's neck would recur, so she continued to give him medicine.

Mr. Wu has always taught his younger brother without any regrets and cultivated him into a scholar. This kindness will never end no matter what.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare medicine for them using Wudingzhi.
