Dressed as a villain's mother

Chapter 20 Sugar Man
Li Minglan couldn't remember how long she hadn't been out of the village, the east was pale, she was sitting on the bullock cart, and she was still a little nervous.

Yi'an County is relatively far from Tangjia Village, and the ox cart probably takes more than an hour, that is, more than two hours, nearly three hours.And Qingshui Town can be reached in more than an hour. In contrast, it is indeed far away.

Jiang Yu got up early and baked a few pancakes to eat on the way, trying to go back early.

However, she overlooked one thing - sitting on the bullock cart was too bumpy, and she stumbled when she spoke, not to mention eating something, it would come out of her mouth when she ate it.

After biting his own tongue for the third time and tasting blood, Jiang Yu silently put down the pancake in his hand, his tongue hurt.

"Mother, why don't you eat?" Tang Jingxuan asked curiously.

Jiang Yu wanted to say that she didn't light up the skill of eating on the bullock cart, and seeing them eating happily one by one, don't mention how depressed she was. "I... slowly."

It hurts every time I say a word, who can understand the sourness...

Tang Yunze glanced at her indifferently. For some reason, Jiang Yu always felt that those eyes were smiling.

"This road is too rough..." Jiang Yu muttered in a low voice when he felt his butt split into eight petals.

It's not that she said that after getting used to the cement road, it's really unbearable to walk this kind of road again.If you are not extremely tired, you will not be able to sleep.

"There is indeed no smooth official path."

Li Minglan also said with emotion, since she decided to accept Jiang Yu now, she shouldn't be too indifferent to others.

"Aren't we going the official way?" Jiang Yu asked with some doubts.

"No, it's just a road that is often taken. The official road is far away, and tolls are charged." So they usually don't take the official road, and usually take this road.

Jiang Yu knew that it was far away and had to pay fees. For ordinary people, opening a new road is the best choice.

After bumping all the way to Yi'an County, after paying ten cents to enter the city, Jiang Yu felt that the trip was worth it when he saw the prosperous scene of the streets.

It was the first time for Tang Jingxuan to come back to a place as big as Yi'an County, so he kept his eyes wide open without blinking, for fear of missing something.

"Mother! Look at the little mouse in the hand of the old man with the white beard!" From a small one to a big one, the old man is amazing.

Jiang Yu looked in the direction he pointed, and said with a smile, "That's a candy blower, do you want to taste it?"

Tang Jingxuan hesitated for a while and then shook his head, "I've eaten candy before."

"But this tastes better than sugar." Jiang Yu walked to the small stall and said to the stall owner, "Here are five sugar figures."

After Tang Jingxuan heard this sentence, he didn't say anything else, because he didn't eat it alone.

Li Minglan was about to say that she didn't want to eat, but Jiang Yu said: "Three pennies a piece, it's not very expensive, it's rare to come here once."

After handing over the money to the stall owner, Li Minglan had no choice but to refuse, so she had to take a look at Tang Yunze. Seeing that the latter didn't respond, she couldn't help but sighed.

Did they even care about eating a candy before?Of course not.It's the grandchildren's turn, and at the age of five or six, they don't even know what a sugar man looks like, which is really sad.

Tang Yunfei was looking forward to it just like Tang Jingxuan, and he hadn't had a candy man for a long time.

The stall owner was very amiable, "What do you want?"

"What do Xuanxuan and Yunfei want?" Jiang Yu gave them the right to choose. Children can't just make decisions for them. As time goes by, children will become less assertive. This is not what Jiang Yu wants to see of.

Tang Jingxuan looked confused, "What do mother think is good?"

"I think Xuanxuan's choice is good."

It was only then that Tang Jingxuan plucked up the courage to choose a rabbit, while Tang Yunfei chose a tiger, Jiang Yu also wanted a rabbit, Li Minglan chose a butterfly, and Tang Yunze took a mouse.

Go shopping while eating sugar figurines, and then go to the embroidery workshop to hand in work.

The embroidery lady, the leader of the embroidery shop, was very surprised when she saw Li Minglan. She hadn't seen Li Minglan for a long time, and thought that she was going to die.

"What about you?" Xiuniang looked at Li Minglan in confusion, if it's time to hand over the work, there's no need to bring so many people here, right?
Li Minglan took out the carefully wrapped embroidery, and the patterns on it were lifelike, "Yun Niang, this is the job I took from you half a year ago, look..."

Although she has seen it many times, Yunniang still admires Li Minglan's embroidery skills, "Your skills, if you are in better health, you are always welcome here."

Li Minglan smiled lightly and said nothing.

If a down-and-out lady like her goes to work outside, people may not know what to say.She doesn't care, but she has to think about her children and grandchildren.What's more, it's not the moment when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, so it's enough to get some embroidery work and go back to do it.

Yunniang gave Li Minglan 20 taels of silver, and suddenly thought of something, "Do you want to earn a lot of money?"

"Huh?" Li Minglan was a little puzzled.

"A nobleman asked for a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, and it will be placed at my place. I have plenty of time. I will ask for it after one and a half years. The deposit is 100 taels, and I will give you 500 taels after it is done. I have not found a suitable person. , I originally wanted to ask you what you think, but I didn’t say anything when I saw that your health is not very good. Now your situation is much better, if you embroider slowly, it’s nothing to finish in a year and a half.”

Of course Yunniang wants to earn money, but with her embroidery skills, she can't embroider what the nobleman wants. Among so many embroidery products, the nobleman also took a fancy to Li Minglan's embroidery.

Li Minglan looked at Jiang Yu, who was stunned.

Is this asking for her opinion?
Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Mother can do what she wants, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to. Our family is not very short of money. When my tofu is ready, are you afraid of running out of money?"

Li Minglan's heart skipped a beat, but she also felt that Jiang Yu was right.The nobleman's money is not so easy to earn. Didn't their family lose because of the nobleman before?
She smiled apologetically at Yunniang: "I'm still taking medicine now, and you know it at home, so it's nothing more than ordinary embroidery work, if you're a nobleman...let's forget it."

Yun Niang sighed, that's true, for people like them who have no money and power, a dissatisfaction with the nobleman can make them never stand up.More important than money and life, it's better to be safe.

After leaving the embroidery workshop, Li Minglan gave the money bag to Jiang Yu.

"Huh?" Jiang Yu looked puzzled, "What are you doing for me?"

Li Minglan was silent, "Didn't you mean to make tofu? You also need money to buy soybeans."

"That's enough for me, you keep the money yourself, and you can buy whatever you want."

This is the money that Li Minglan spent half a year embroidering so hard, how can Jiang Yu take it?
Seeing Li Minglan looking at him, Tang Yunze nodded, signaling her to put it away.

Li Minglan reluctantly accepted the money, thinking that Jiang Yu had really changed for the better, otherwise she would never refuse, and would happily accept it.
