Chapter 17 Qifeng County

The landlord saw that Mrs. Zhao didn't want to talk about his family background, so he had no choice but to stop asking, but the man himself had never seen his face, and he never mentioned his identity, "We don't know either, just let us do things In addition to being generous, we were shown a golden token before we left, and we don't know what it is for?"

Golden Token?Mrs. Zhao smiled wryly. After so many years, her natal elder brother was unwilling to help her husband's affairs, and she no longer cared about her younger sister, but he finally helped his family regardless of past suspicions.

"Thank you for your help today, but we don't plan to stay in Qingyang Town anymore. We will pack our bags and leave tomorrow. Please come and take back the keys when the time comes." Mrs. Zhao smiled apologetically, "Let You have made a fuss, and you are in trouble."

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's meaning was clear, the landlord and his wife didn't want to say more, so they got up and left.After sending the two of them away, Jiang Wen began to prepare dinner. After all this trouble, the three of them had no appetite, so they made some casual meals to deal with it.

After tossing and turning all night, I finally stayed up until dawn.After breakfast, Jiang Wuyou went out to find the carriage, and Jiang Wen started to pack his things.

It is said to pack things, but in fact there is not much to pack, but a few clothes, and two pairs of thin quilts, the cloth needlework I bought yesterday to make clothes, and Jiang Wen tidied it up in a few minutes.

When the landlady came to collect the keys, the three of Jiang and Wen got into the carriage and left. They went to Qifeng County Government to register. It is not known where they will eventually settle down. By then, their home will be there, and it will be a brand new beginning.

The carriage had been away for more than two hours, and entered Qifeng County at mid-noon, and found an inn, which was regarded as a place to stay, and temporarily settled down.

Because of the more than half a month of recuperation, Jiang and Wen's complexions have all improved. Originally, Mrs. Zhao didn't even know she was pregnant because of fatigue and lack of nutrition, and she didn't have symptoms such as morning sickness. After coming down, he suddenly vomited.

"vomit", Zhao vomited again after trying to eat something, Jiang Wen looked anxiously on the sidelines, once heard pregnant sisters say that morning sickness is the most tormenting person, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he found out This is not only tormenting people, but also vomiting to kill people.

"Mom, why don't I go down and buy some white rice porridge from Xiao Er, and see if you can drink it?" Jiang Wen asked.

Zhao vomited pale, shook her head and refused, "I really want to eat sour plums."

Sour plums?What month are sour plums available?Jiang Wen realized that he didn't know anything about it, and he hadn't paid attention to these things before, but he guessed that plums should be on the market in summer and autumn.

"Mother, is there anyone selling plums now?" Jiang Wen thought Mrs. Zhao should be clearer about this, "If there are, I'll go out and buy some for you."

Mrs. Zhao was embarrassed. It is not yet the season for green plums to be on the market. This is northern Xinjiang, not Pingdu. How can I buy them? I am really confused. I'm confused, forget about Wen'er, don't worry about me, maybe it will be fine at night."

Jiang Wen thought for a while, how could this work?She is a twin now, how can she not eat.Mother wanted to eat sour plums, because she wanted to eat sour things. There was a way, Jiang Wen had a flash of inspiration and ran out.

Borrowing the kitchen and ingredients from the inn, Jiang Wen had a red date and white fungus porridge, and cooked a sweet potato with sugar and vinegar, and took it back for Mrs. Zhao to eat.

Mrs. Zhao took a sip, but didn't vomit anymore, so she tried to eat a few more mouthfuls, and found it to be very palatable. One dish and one bowl of porridge were eaten quickly. Seeing this, Jiang Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

Riding in the carriage in the morning, the bumps along the way, Jiang Wen's bones were about to fall apart. This ancient carriage is really not easy to ride, without any anti-vibration measures, it is too challenging.

Coupled with the fact that it was getting late, Jiang Wen and the three decided to rest at the inn today, and go to the Yamen tomorrow to send the documents for record.

The next day, early in the morning, Jiang Wen and the others went to the Qifeng County Government Office after eating.When Jiang Wen was in modern times, he also went to some scenic spots to see the preserved county government. He felt that it was a relatively large and ancient house.

Looking at the county government office in front of you, the door is guarded by serious government servants. The people in the past usually don’t come forward when they have nothing to do, and they all go around from a distance. It is a real Yamen.

Mrs. Zhao led them forward, and a yamen servant stopped them and asked, "What do you guys do?"

Mrs. Zhao took out the document with the official seal, gave him a look, and explained, "You two, we are civilians exiled to northern Xinjiang in Pingdu, and now we come to the Qifeng county government to apply for the document for settlement."

"Are you people exiled from Pingdu?" The yamen servant looked at them, and they looked nothing like them. A few days ago, a group of civilians who were exiled from Pingdu also came, but they were all wearing prison uniforms.

Thinking of that wave of people last time, as expected they came out of Pingdu, and they were generous with their actions. I have been standing at this door almost every day throughout the year, and the entrance fee that I wanted to come that time was worth more than my income for that year , and came from Pingdu again, this opportunity cannot be missed.

"You are used to coming to a big place in Pingdu, and you should know some rules. Even if you don't know, we will patiently explain to you the rules of Qifeng County. In Qifeng, if you want to enter this door, you have to give Man, what do you mean?" the yamen servant said with a serious face.

What do you mean? It is obvious that you are asking for bribes openly. This kind of behavior can be said to be so serious. Just because of this thick skin, Jiang Wen also knelt down. It is really thick skinned.

However, there is a saying that great gods are easy to invite, but little ghosts are hard to send off. Jiang Wen and the three of them understand very well that if I don't give them meaning today, I'm afraid I really won't be able to enter this threshold.

Mrs. Zhao took out half a tael of silver from her purse, and said with a smile, "You two, can you let us in?"

The two yamen servants weighed the money in their hands, and their expressions were not good. Is that what people from Pingdu mean? "Just this little money seems to have gone in, and it's sending the beggar!"

Reluctantly, Mrs. Zhao took out half a tael of silver from her purse to make up for it, and said bitterly, "You two, we really don't have any silver. If you don't believe me, take a look at this purse, there are only a few copper coins left in it."

The two yamen servants grabbed the purse with one hand and weighed it. Sure enough, there were only a few copper coins left. They put the purse into their arms and said with some disgust, "Go in. I came out of Pingdu. I didn't expect it to be a poor ghost".
