Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 275 is the idea of ​​money (two more)

This area is close to the south, and it is popular to eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, sweet and salty, meat or vegetarian, date paste, bean paste, and melon seeds.It is rare for Sun Yuxia and his wife to come over, and the Sun family is busy making zongzi.

Jian's cooked glutinous rice in the big pot early in the morning, and the zong leaves were picked by Dong Ma and the others at the riverside in the west of the village a few days ago.All kinds of fillings have already been mixed.

Sun gave an order, Sun, Sun Yuxia, Jinxi, Taozhi, Jian, and Jinrou Wenyun moved all their hands together, and within half an hour, all kinds of stuffed rice dumplings were tied up. Two big pots.

After lunch, Sun Yuxia and Sun Dahu set off for Sunjiagou.Because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, I have to leave for the mountain today so that I can spend the Dragon Boat Festival with Grandpa Sun in time.

Sun and Liang Yuzhong also dragged out a pair of bamboo bamboo baskets, which contained food, three catties of zongzi, two jars of wine, one bottle of shochu, one bottle of realgar wine for the festival, and a pair of pig's trotters. The more loyal and filial to Father Sun.

Taozhi brought two pairs of summer shoes and a set of light underwear, and asked the young couple to take them to Father Sun along the way, since it was convenient to have an ox cart.

This day passed quickly, and when I woke up, it was already the Dragon Boat Festival, and it had been raining continuously for three consecutive days, but it finally stopped, and the sky cleared up.

Jin Xi gets up and pushes the door out of the house, and sees the green wormwood that is still stained with dew on the doors and windows of every room in the house.After the family had breakfast, Liang Yuzhong went to town.

Chunzhu's family and Daniu's family came together to deliver zongzi to Jinxi's family.Mrs. Sun received them warmly, and before leaving, she took the rice dumplings from the family and asked them to take them home for the children to taste.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a custom of giving zongzi to each other, Chunzhu's family and Daniu's family were sent away, Sun asked Jinxi to deliver zongzi to Lao Liangtouna, and Cui's family to deliver zongzi, Jinxi walked out of the gate excitedly with a basket , Before going to the official road, I met Zhang Butcher's wife who came towards me with a basket, and she should have come to deliver zongzi.

Jin Xi greeted the Zhang family from afar, and the Zhang family walked quickly with their heads buried, as if they were thinking about something while walking, when they heard the voice, they rolled their eyes, saw that it was Jin Xi, and quickly smiled He quickened his pace and came to Jinxi.

"I made some meat dumplings, and I want to give you some to taste. Xi'er, you are carrying a basket, are you going to your grandma?" Zhang's family asked.

"That's right, my mother asked me to deliver zongzi to my grandparents. My mother is at home, and auntie is going to drink tea." Jin Xi said with a smile.

The members of the Zhang family nodded repeatedly, showing no intention of leaving, Jin Xi smiled and said, "Auntie, is there anything else?"

The members of the Zhang family held Jin Xi's hand, and glanced around. Except for Ah Cai and A Wang who were not far behind Jin Xi, there was no one passing by for the time being, so the members of the Zhang family said to Jin Xi in a low voice: "Xi Girl, I'll ask you something in private, so don't say anything."

Jin Xi nodded, and the Zhang family asked, "Is your aunt holding a dowry money?"

Jin Xi was slightly stunned: "Auntie, what do you mean by that?"

The members of the Zhang family waved their hands repeatedly, and said: "Girl Xi, don't get me wrong, I don't have the cheek to beat up my niece and daughter-in-law's dowry. It's Kong, Qiangzi his mother, who went to my house to show off yesterday!"

"How do you say that?" Jin Xi asked in surprise.

The members of the Zhang family gave Jinxi all the details of what Kong's visit to show off yesterday.

"I checked carefully. The earrings on the ears and the rings on the hands are all made of sterling silver. He also said that when the wheat is harvested later, Qiangzi will invite people to build another building on the east and west sides. Of the three wing rooms, the upper one was repaired and left for Kong to live in, the east wing was for Chun Nier and her children, and the west wing was for Qiang Zi and Liang Yumei's wedding room!"

"Your Uncle Zhang originally told Qiangzi well that we would pay him to repair the earth-based houses in the upper house and furnish a house for Liang Yumei. Their family can live comfortably. It’s done. The family owes so much debt, so there’s nothing else to worry about! This time Kong said, Qiangzi is now promising, and he’s going to add people to build a house!”

"Aunt Zhang, maybe Zhang Daqiang got the money from outside?" Jin Xi said, thinking it was impossible, if Zhang Daqiang wanted to have that ability, why wait until now?
"Fuck, we don't know how much money Qiangzi has, as uncles and aunts? He has a lot of money. Uncle Zhang and I wondered if Liang Yumei gave Qiangzi money in private, so that he Go buy a house? I don’t know about your grandma, do you know?”

Jin Xi narrowed her eyes, and said: "I don't know about their affairs either, but I think your guess may be right. In this way, both sides will lose face. Whether my grandma knows it or not, For the sake of face and liking, I will pretend not to know."

"Hey, they are now a family, and we have become outsiders. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. No matter what, I can't control it. Don't delay you, you can go to the village as soon as possible, and I will send it to your mother. Zongzi go!"

"Well, see you later." After Jin Xi finished speaking, she brushed past Zhang's family and headed towards the village.

Along the way, Jin Xi was thinking about the Zhang family's words, although these had no effect on her and her family.However, Jin Xi felt more and more that Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan probably didn't know about this matter.

It is precisely because of this incident that Jinxi's guess about Zhang Daqiang's real purpose of approaching and marrying Liang Yumei is more and more confirmed. The money Zhang Daqiang really likes is Liang Yumei's dowry money!

……

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Jin Xi took Ah Cai and Ah Wang brothers and set off for Wanghai County in a carriage.Ah Fu and Ah Gui have been working in the Qianlixiang shop at the Xiaobeimen of the county seat, and when they arrive at the county seat, they will be summoned to come over. Anyway, shopkeeper Zhang is already looking for a buddy here.

Originally it was agreed that Liang Yuzhong would also go together, but who knew that as the rain stopped and the temperature rose in the past few days, the weather suddenly became hot, and it seemed that it had entered the dog days all at once.

Sun's summer essential oils and floral dew to prevent mosquito bites were all sold out.Liang Yuzhong had to go back and forth to the town twice a day for the past two days, sending the stock in a large warehouse at home to Sun Ji in the town to replenish the warehouse, so he couldn't spare time to accompany him.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun sent Jinxi to the officialdom all the way, exhorting and entreating Aicai and the others one by one, which made Acai and the others very panicky, obviously they were very worried.

"Mother, Granny, don't worry about it. I'll go over here to take a look, find out the way, and get acquainted with the people in the restaurant and then come home. It will take two or three days, no problem!" Jin Xi sat in the carriage Going up, leaned out half of his body and said with a smile to Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun who were below with red eyes.

Mrs. Sun nodded, helped Mrs. Sun to move aside, and let the carriage pass by. The two of them didn't turn around until the carriage disappeared at the end of the official road and could no longer be seen. But each heart, a heart is hanging.

From now on to the county seat, all the way is the official road.

The official road at this time is only a comparison with other remote and rugged paths.In this ancient era when there was no asphalt or asphalt, how could it be better even if it was an official road?

Jin Xi and his party left the north entrance of Changqiao Town and followed the official road to the county seat.Ah Wang is driving the car, Ah Cai is sitting side by side with arms folded, and Jin Xi is sitting in the carriage behind.

The closer to noon, the hotter the sun above the head. Sitting in the carriage, Jin Xi, the sunlight came in through the window screen and fell on her arms, separated by a thin layer of spring shirt. A burning sensation occurs.What's more, Ah Cai Ah Wang who sat in front with his head on his head and didn't even wear a straw hat?
"Ah Cai, find a shaded place to stop in front, let the guys drink some water and eat some dry food to rest for a while, and then feed the horse some water before leaving." Jin Xi raised the curtain of the carriage and said to the backs of the two people in front .

Ah Cai tilted his head slightly, and said "OK."

Soon, a forest appeared in front of it. There were not many trees, and bamboos were scattered around the fence. The official road passed through the middle of the forest.

Awang drove the carriage into the woods, and slowly stopped by the side of the official road, Jin Xi jumped off the carriage, went to a big tree by the side of the road, stood there shaking her sleeves and fanning the wind.

Because of the late departure, I lingered in the town for a while, and it was close to lunch time, and there were almost no one passing by on the road.The woods are very quiet, with occasional breezes passing through the forest, cicadas and unknown insects neighing one after another in the dense branches and leaves above the head.

Ah Wang fed the horse some water and added a handful of fodder to it, and Ah Cai followed Jinxi closely, offering dry food and bags of water.

Jin Xi unscrewed the stopper of the water bag, and was about to raise her head to drink water, when suddenly, from outside the forest, from the same end where they came earlier, came the sound of footsteps of different shades, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, and someone shouted in surprise .

"Master, hold on a little longer, don't fall asleep, you will be in big trouble if you fall asleep..."

"Master, look quickly, there are people in front, and there is a carriage, we are saved..." The voice of the voice and the sound of footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the same voice was always shouting.

Awang and Acai became vigilant in an instant, Acai gestured to Awang, and Awang walked towards the side where the sound came from.

Jin Xi took a sip of her saliva and thought to herself, Mao Shiba would not find a bunch of extras to cooperate with him in acting for revenge?That was too much trouble, but looking at what happened to the black pig in Yunzhou last time, it seemed that Mao Shiba was different from his elder brother Mao Shiqi.
So, Jin Xi stood still, looking over the shoulder of Ah Cai who was protecting her, to the side where the sound and footsteps became more and more final...

On the other side of the official road, what came into view was a young man in blue clothes, with a man in white clothes on his back, walking towards this side with deep feet and shallow feet.The man in white was hanging his head, as if unconscious.

Jin Xi glanced over those two people, and immediately recognized them as the pair of master and servant who went to Mingshan Pavilion in a gorgeous carriage a few days ago, but ordered shabby dishes. Moreover, the man in white was still a Disfigured blind man.
