On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Mr. Xiao and the others closed the door and returned home. They heard that there would be danger in the city and they were going to the countryside to escape the bad news for a few days.

Xiao Lao Niang suddenly lost her temper: "Not even a few days have passed since these good days, and things are not going well again."

After saying this, he said hello: "Old man, let's go and bring back all the rice, noodles and vegetables in the restaurant, and then close the doors and windows."

Then he said to Xiao Xiu: "If you write another piece of red paper, just say that there is a happy event for the boss and we will open the door again after the new year."

He didn't even say that he would stay and guard the store, and there was no need for them to waste their words on persuading him.

Boss Xiao hurriedly said: "Mom and dad, there's no need to be in such a hurry. We'll leave tomorrow afternoon."

"You guys will open a restaurant as usual tomorrow, and you can take the opportunity to buy some more rice. It's not inconspicuous."

Mrs. Wu looked anxious: "Then I have to go back and pack my luggage first."

When he walked to the door, he patted his thigh again and said anxiously: "Oh no, Erlang is still in the academy. Can't we forget about him?"

Mrs. Liu thought to herself: You, my mother-in-law, almost forgot about it, so why do you have the nerve to say it?
"Brothers and sisters, don't panic. Didn't you see that the second uncle is not at home? He has already driven the car to pick up Erlang, and he should be back soon."

When Mrs. Wu heard Mrs. Liu's words, she looked around and suddenly realized: "If my sister-in-law didn't say anything, I didn't realize that my husband was not there?"

Xiao Lao Niang rolled her eyes. If she hadn't noticed that her second son was not here, she would have scolded her daughter-in-law and wouldn't have known to see Xiao Lao Er first when she got home.

Mr. Xiao, who had been silent all this time, said, "What else do you want to buy? I'll buy it tomorrow morning."

"And you two brothers, would you like to prepare some more tonics to replenish your health?"

His son felt sorry for him. They had been injured more than once along the way, and he was afraid that if he didn't take good care of himself, the disease would be the root cause.

Boss Xiao couldn't hide his pride: "Dad, don't worry. Mr. Jiang said this morning that the second child and I are fine."

"Besides, the Jiang family also came to ask for Jiang Yu's hand in marrying our eldest girl. They are not afraid of difficulties in getting medical treatment."

"Oh, my mother! Did I hear you right?" Mrs. Xiao slapped her thigh excitedly: "This is a great thing. We won't be afraid of looking down on the doctor in the future?"

"Mom, you heard me right." Mrs. Wu's eyes shone with excitement, and she stepped forward to hold Xiao Xiu's hand, smiling from ear to ear: "If there is a headache or fever in the future, we don't have to carry it."

Then he warned her earnestly: "Xiu'er, they say that even if a dog gets rich, he won't forget it. But don't forget that you have three younger brothers. They will support you in the future."

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but correct her: "It's just a matter of wealth and honor, and never forgets each other."

Wu waved her hand indifferently: "They are all dogs anyway!"

Xiao Xiu could only nod to show that he heard it.

She was afraid that if she didn't nod, her second aunt wouldn't let go.

Fortunately, I am now much thicker-skinned, and when it comes to important matters such as my marriage, I am not so embarrassed that I am at a loss.

But this is normal. After all, I have discussed marriage twice. This time it was familiar, but the third time I was much calmer.

She didn't fall in love with Jiang Yu at first sight, nor did she want to climb high.

The main reason is that Mrs. Wu looked down on herself and despised herself before. She also had self-esteem. When she met the Jiang family, who was better than the Wu family, she was unwilling to get along with her, for fear that others would think she had ulterior motives.

Therefore, even though Jiang Yu had said categorically that he would not marry Fei Qing, she did not take it seriously, thinking that it would definitely be nothing more than nothing.

But I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to come to discuss marriage.

Do you really want to marry Jiang Yu?
Now that she thinks about it, it still feels unreal?

Until now, seeing the excitement of my grandmother and second aunt, it feels real.

Jiang Yu is indeed a very good person. If you marry him, you should be able to live well, right?
The next morning, Mr. Jiang and Xiao Xiu went together to buy according to what Mr. Xiao said and the list written by Mrs. Liu. In fact, even if Xiao Laoer didn't pick him up, the academy would be on vacation today.

When Xiao Laoer heard that his son was going to take exams in the morning and would be on holiday after the exams, he decided to pick him up this morning.

Mrs. Xiao and the others also went to open a restaurant as usual, and talked to the two waiters by the way, and then settled the monthly payment with them.

The excuse is easy to find: "Our eldest girl is getting engaged."

"You should go back and have a good rest for a few days. Anyway, I will call you when the restaurant opens."

This monthly payment was also given to them on a monthly basis, which meant that the restaurant was closed and their monthly payment was not deducted. This made the two waiters extremely happy and said a lot of good things.

After lunch, all the guests left, and the Xiao family allowed the two guys who had eaten and drank enough to go back.

After they left, they moved all the rice, noodles and vegetables in the restaurant to the mule cart.

Mr. Jiang sent his grandson to go with the Xiao family.

He felt that County Magistrate Chen was already on his guard, and even a young man like you couldn't make any trouble.

The purpose of letting the grandson go to the countryside is to make him sell well in front of Mr. Li and show his face more, which is always a good thing.

He wanted Lao Jin to follow Jiang Yu.

But Jiang Yu vowed: "I can rest assured that Uncle Jin will stay with you. Nothing will happen to me in the countryside, but my grandparents cannot be separated from them."

He didn't think it would be a big deal, but he almost experienced separation between life and death.

In order to please the future Taishan, and also Li Yan by the way, Jiang Yu brought more medicines for various injuries and warm and tonic medicinal materials to nourish the body.

And thanks to the publicity of the guy who came back first, everyone in Xutian Village now knows that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is getting married.

To show their solemnity, the Xiao family even closed the restaurant door and returned to their hometown, waiting for the man to come.

Therefore, at dusk, the villagers were not surprised to see Mr. Xiao and Xiao Erlang driving back with mule carts.

It's just that I can't help but feel a little sad. In just a few months, the Xiao family has become city dwellers, and they even have an extra mule cart. It's really enviable.

However, thinking that Xu Laosan and his family, who were the most dominant in the village, would not be able to take advantage or seek any advantage in front of the Xiao family, no one dared to offend the Xiao family.

Fortunately, when Xiao Xiao came back, the door was closed tightly, so that everyone could not see the carriage and mule cart parked in the yard, otherwise they would be sore.

On the other side, Sheng Qianhu in the guardhouse was also worried, not knowing where he should go to 'suppress bandits' out of thin air.

Of course, there was no trace of the bandits near the guard station for a long time.

Then he asked his subordinates: "Where are there many mountains and forests nearby, and are there traces of bandits?"

His subordinates wanted to flatter him, so they flattered him: "There are thousands of adults in charge, and there are no bold gangsters here who dare to cause trouble."

Sheng Qianhu suspected that he was mocking him.

Don't think he doesn't know, there are many thorns in the guard who don't obey him.

I feel that he has not done anything serious since he took office.

Sheng Qianhu asked another person, and this subordinate was more upright: "I heard that there are bandits in Pantian."

"Then let's go to suppress the bandits tomorrow." Sheng Qianhu found out that Pan Tian was hundreds of miles away from the guard, so he simply took his son with him to prevent him from getting into trouble and to take the opportunity to give him a lot of experience.
