On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 76 Rain

After Jiang Yu got out of the car, he walked around the convoy and saw the Lin sisters following Mrs. Xiao and the others, helping to wash the vegetables.

It can be seen that these two 'Miss Xiao' are most likely not the daughters of Boss Xiao.

He continued to walk forward, looking at the small hill in front of him, and began to think about the Ning family.

The Ning family spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy medicinal materials and send them to Yuhang. They should be able to make a name for themselves in front of King Jin'an, right?
  Although Uncle Ning has no interest in medicine, he is very good at doing business and socializing.

There are also two senior brothers Ning. The eldest brother has studied medicine with Mr. Ning for many years, but the second senior brother likes to follow Uncle Ning around.

This is the advantage of having more sons. From now on, the two brothers will each take care of their own affairs.

My family has been passed down by a single family for three generations, and I don’t have any brothers or sisters to help me. I will definitely not be able to take care of both being a doctor and going out to buy medicinal materials in the future.

Looking at the three brothers of the Xiao family building thatched huts there, he felt a little envious for no reason.

Then he saw Boss Xiao coming back talking and laughing with his three daughters, and he simply stopped in his tracks.

Boss Xiao was very excited to see him, and he had another person to show off to: "My dear nephew, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are indeed a good place. There are a lot of prey on the mountains. You see, we are so good at kung fu, and the harvest is not bad."

Jiang Yu was amused in his heart, but he also agreed seriously: "Uncle Xiao is good at archery."

Boss Xiao only hated him for not praising himself more and pretending to be humble: "Hahaha, just average."

Jiang Yu saw Xiao Xiao holding a little rabbit in her hand again: "Do you like little rabbits?"

After saying that, he regretted it himself, why did he have to talk when he had nothing to say.

Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously and said seriously: "Rabbit is so cute, who doesn't like it? Master, please don't eat it, okay?"

Xiao Xiu could tell from her sister's words that she did it on purpose. Seeing that Jiang Yu seemed to be choked, he smiled and made a break: "Young master, please forgive me, but my little sister is naughty. When the rabbit meat is cooked, she will eat it better than anyone else." joyous."

After saying that, he led the sisters to the female relatives.

When she was far away, Xiao Lian looked back at Jiang Yu, who was still talking to her father, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Xiao, you are really so bad. You didn't see that when you said that, he I shivered, hahaha..."

"You don't understand, this isn't bad, it's tea!" Xiao Xiao admitted that he did it on purpose: "A person like him has a high self-esteem and is obviously wary of us, but he has to be gentle and approachable. "

"Cha didn't mess with you, so why did you arrange it?" Xiao Xiu whispered: "He thinks very highly of himself, let's not go in front of him, just stay away from him."

She had seen He Yanbin's selfishness, and Wu Dalang, who were usually brothers, but when something happened, they would go their separate ways when disaster struck.

In addition, both Mrs. He and Mrs. Wu relied on their family fortune to act condescendingly when facing themselves.

She finally understood why marriage should be about well-matched couples.

I also made up my mind that when my family settles down in the future, it would be best to find a down-to-earth and capable young man in the village or a neighboring village. I definitely don’t want to try to climb up to any young master.

When Xiao Xiao heard what the eldest sister said, she couldn't help but laugh: "The main reason is that we are educated people. When we say that a bitch is indecent and tea is like tea, do others think we are praising others?"

Xiao Lian gave a thumbs up: "Little sister, your words are becoming more and more interesting now."

Although the meat of the pheasant is not much, the chicken soup is delicious. Add the radish and stew it together, and pour some rice wine. The taste is also very good.

Add dried chili peppers to the hare meat and braise it, then pour in rice wine, add star anise and cinnamon and other seasonings, the fishy smell is suppressed, it is fragrant and spicy, and it tastes very good with rice.

The escorts were extremely envious of the Xiao family: "Your female family members cook really well. Didn't you really run a restaurant before? Otherwise, how could you have such good cooking skills?"

Boss Xiao likes to hear people praise his wife. As for his mother and sister-in-law, he automatically blocked them: "My wife is indeed virtuous, and she has taught her three daughters well." When he said this, the escort did not pay attention. Listen, the Xiao family didn't think much about it, only Jiang Yu remembered: Very good, it's true, he only has three daughters.

The advantage of being with an escort is that there is no need for men to keep vigil at night, and there is no need to worry about wild boars, wolves or poisonous snakes escaping out of nowhere and endangering their lives.

Now they can sleep soundly listening to the howling of wolves in the distance.

The next morning, after eating gnocchi, we packed up and continued our journey.

The Xiao family had originally discussed it last night. They didn't eat much of the rice and noodles they bought earlier, and there was no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, so they were not planning to enter Lingping County.

You can also save a couple of silver and take advantage of the opportunity to go hunting.

It was a pity that the sky was not beautiful. By the afternoon, the weather was gloomy and the thunder continued. After a while, big raindrops fell.

In such weather, the Xiao family's original plan would definitely not work, so they could only follow the convoy into the city.

Fortunately, the escort had an inn he was familiar with, so he went directly to an inn not far from the city gate without asking.

The escort rushed into the inn and wiped the rain off his face: "Shopkeeper Jin, give us three adjacent courtyards."

The small courtyard here in the inn mostly has three main rooms and three left and right wing rooms.

In the past, even if the Xiao family was not around, Jiang Yu's master and servant still wanted a yard.

Jiang Yu had told him before that he wanted three courtyards so that everyone could live more comfortably.

Shopkeeper Jin had a good memory. When he saw the guests who stayed there more than ten days ago, he greeted him warmly: "You guys are here, Mr. Song. It's really hard to see such heavy rain."

Then he said apologetically: "You just happened to catch up with the annual gathering, and there are only two small courtyards left. Why don't you squeeze in?"

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the escort chief had no choice but to agree.

Shopkeeper Jin quickly asked the waiter to open the back door.

Under the pouring rain, the driver looked like a drowned rat even if he was wearing a raincoat.

Hou Er called to the Xiao family: "Just leave the left room of the main room to our young master, and you can do whatever you want with the rest."

Boss Xiao knew that they still had to unload the goods, so he simply called his second son and eldest son Erlang to help: "Mother, please make more ginger soup. Let's all have a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold later."

Fortunately, the mule carts carrying the herbs were wrapped in tung oil cloth, and they were not soaked by the rain after unloading the goods.

On the other hand, those who were unloading the goods were soaked by the rain, and their shoes were soaked in water, making them squeak as they walked.

Seeing that the medicinal materials were intact, Jiang Yu first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at everyone's embarrassment, and then comforted him: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's change our clothes first. Let's drink some wine to keep away the cold in the evening."

He is not a fool, and he knows how to win over people.

When talking to the escorts, most of the time they are very polite and make people feel like a refreshing breeze.

Because of this, the escorts also like to follow him out.

Because Jiang Yu was generous, unlike some bosses who hired escorts and had a meal of steamed buns and noodles.
