Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 68
Grandma asked Wu'er nonchalantly: "Your name is Wu'er, did Jinyang Liutao buy your family of four here?"

Wu'er didn't want to bring up that humiliating and sad memory, so she just nodded silently.Seeing her unenthusiastic response, grandma shut her mouth.

In fact, she wanted to mention that not long ago an old man went to Goudong Village to look for them. She remembered that the old man said that he was from the Northland: "The old wife and four children were taken to Dongji Mansion by the Daqian army. , and was sold to Goudong Village.” I remember he said that he had a young daughter named Wu’er.

It's just that grandma had a very bad impression of Dahu, so she told him: "The whole family has gone to the capital, and I don't know where in the capital..." Intentionally not meddling.

Since Jinsha was newlyweds, the parents-in-law had to hold a wedding banquet for them again, and the parents-in-law gave them another 20 taels of silver as a congratulatory gift. Although they hated them deeply, they should be able to live with their face. Jin Li gave Wuliang Liutao Five taels were given.

They lived in that small yard for one night and felt very comfortable. The yard was next to the garden and the lake. After the family moved in, the old Zhao and his wife had time Just take care of the garden, the flowers and plants in it are lush and lush, although it is winter, they still have the usual beautiful appearance, and walking on the Jiuqu Bridge is even more interesting.They didn't talk about leaving, and besides, it was almost the end of the year, and the two families couldn't open their mouths to push people away at this time, so they stayed together as if they had a tacit understanding with each other.

The flower building in the west is not locked, Jinsha and Liu Jiaojiao went upstairs to see it curiously, and they were very envious at that time, if they lived in, how exciting it would be!However, there is really no excuse.

They were very envious of this flower building, Aunt Zhao who was patrolling downstairs just heard how Liu Jiaojiao conspired with Jinsha to live here.

This day is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. Early in the morning, Liu Tao ran into Jin Yang’s room. Jin Yang was still sleeping late, so Liu Tao pushed his back and said, “Brother Jin Yang, you know what today is.” day?"

Jin Yang shook his head and suddenly remembered: "Ah Taoer, today is the third anniversary of our coming to this world, in a few days you will be 14 years old, and I will be 16 years old..."

He grabbed Liu Tao in his arms: "Can we fall in love early?"

Liu Tao blushed and nodded, "We've been in love for a long time, why are we talking about it?"

"But you won't let me kiss, you won't let me..."

Liu Tao blushed shyly: "You can start after the Chinese New Year. In the current big country, some people get married at the age of 14?"

"Really, we don't care about these two days, okay?"

Seeing the strange light in Jin Yang's eyes, Liu Tao pushed him away and jumped far away: "No, get up, hurry up and order some goods for my third uncle, they are in a hurry to go home for the New Year... ...." Then he ran away bouncing around.

Looking at Liu Tao's body showing signs of development, her back has just gained some flesh and has grown a lot taller, and she also has the appearance of a junior high school student.Jin Yang lost his sleepiness, put on his clothes and chased after her.

The goods that the third uncle brought this time were of high quality, and they were all skins of prey caught after the winter solstice. Liu Tao offered a high price, and the third uncle estimated that this time he would make a steady profit of 300 taels of silver.Liutao Jinyang gave them an idea to see if the python skin and the skin of a kind of pike could be refined in their hometown, that would be a good thing.

The third uncle hadn't heard of this before, and the fish skin and python skin were all thrown away, so this time he could only agree to go back and try.Before leaving, the two brought them a lot of their own specialties.I went to say goodbye to my grandparents, but my grandma took a fancy to the snow rabbit fur glossy gloves that Liu Tao wanted to bring to Liu Zhi and the third aunt, so scared that Liu Gang snatched them when she put them on and took them off to appreciate them. He ran away in a hurry.

This time when they went back, Liu Tao gave Liu Gang and Liu Tong the New Year's money in advance. Hearing that the second uncle had newly married his aunt, he gave them a silver ticket with a face value of 50 taels, of which 30 taels were for the second uncle. The wedding gift, and the remaining ten taels to my uncle and twelve taels to my grandma.In addition, parents also have congratulatory gifts.

Liu Tao also told the third uncle: "Next time you come, it's better to bring Liu Tong with you, and let him go to school with Liu Mao. My uncle's cousin Tian Zhuang and cousin Tian Qing are willing to come. I need my own family here. Hands in charge..."

It was approaching noon, and Zhang Xiguo and the general came to visit. The three brothers were all brothers and sisters who were arrested and taken to the Xiaoyan Country Salt Field. When they met, they not only felt emotional.That time when they escaped by boat, Jiang Tonglai did not show up. It was because Jiang Tonglai suddenly hesitated in his actions, and because of the hesitation for a few breaths, he missed the best time to escape. Both lost their lives.This time, Xiaoyan released a large number of people who had been kidnapped, and they were released together.

Jiang Tong said: "Jin Yang, do you know that when you went to the salt field to meet Su Huan that day, some people guessed from your shadow that it was you, but you were wearing a battle robe, so we didn't dare to meet you in front of you. After a few days later, news came that Qinglang Country Fengcheng was besieged by the Great Exhausted Army. Only then did Su Huan tell us about you. We heard from Su Huan that you are already a general of the Great Exhausted Army , It was you who said that if the big army wins the battle, you will disarm and return to your home in the south of the capital, and we will be released soon. We all have hope, and we all cried in bed all night happily. ...."

"We were arrested together, how many people are there?"

"There were more than 40 people who were taken to the saltworks together. When they came back, there were only more than 20 people..." Jiang Tong said, choking up.

However, he quickly laughed: "Among the more than 20 of us, we had a discussion on the way back. Since everyone has experience in cooking salt and knows the profit of cooking salt well, why not partner up to open a joint venture on the seaside of Daqingguo? In a small-scale saltworks, there were twelve people who were willing to join the joint venture. Everyone thanked you for not forgetting them, and for saving our lives together with the Daqianjun. They all asked me to invite you to join the group... No need for you Take out a copper coin and give you a share of dry stock, what do you think?"

"Haha, there is such a good thing, I have to think about it..."

Zhang Xiguo said: "Well, what can you think about? If you own the shares, you will become the owner. Is it much better than doing long-term jobs for others here?"

That time when Zhang Xiguo came to visit, he was looking at the imperial tomb soldiers at the gate, and saw that he was dressed like a traveling businessman, so he didn't want to explain to him. He just said that the person he was looking for went to the border gate of Shuangzi Mountain, and did not reveal his truth. identity.Su Huan also just told them that Jin Yang lived in the south of the capital, and although he wore a battle robe in the Dazhang army, he was not a serious general who charged into battle.After the war, he will go back home.Zhang Xiguo came here with the general this time, did he think he was an employee of the dairy workshop?
Jin Yang said to himself: "Well, ten pots of sea water can be boiled to make a big scoop of salt, and a big scoop of salt is nearly half a tael of silver for four catties. The profit of cooking salt is still considerable. I have relatives in Liangshan Port, and I also You can contact the government to approve a piece of land at a low price, yes, I agree to a partnership!"
