Liang An and Zhang Danian kept talking quickly. Return to Liangjiacun.
After saying goodbye to each other by the bridge, Liang An quickly came to the door of his house and knocked on the door. Immediately there was movement in the courtyard.
Soon someone came and opened the door. It was Liang An's new daughter-in-law, Mei Jingjing.
"Madam, I'm back."
"Master, you are back, but you miss me so much."
As soon as Liang An heard Mei Jingjing say that she missed him, he opened his arms to hug Mei Jingjing, but Mei Jingjing hurriedly turned her head to the side.
"Aunt Lin is still here with me."
At this moment, Liang An hurriedly looked next to him, and sure enough, there was someone there.
"Aunt Lin."
Lin E nodded, and Liang An continued, "Aunt Lin didn't expect to let you stay here so late. It's really my fault."
Lin E said with a smile, "It's not a crime, I'm going home alone, so it's good to have someone to talk to with me now."
Lin E deliberately changed the subject, and Liang An immediately changed his mind.
"By the way, do you still remember what we said about a brown bear on the mountain, and we helped to catch the bear?"
As soon as Liang An finished speaking, the two women looked at him doubtfully, wondering what Liang An meant.
Lin E still had some knowledge and asked a little uneasily.
"Could it be that the bear was not caught or that it injured someone?"
Liang An shook his head, "That's not the case, but the bear was caught, and I managed to catch it.
The official team that came to catch the bear wanted me to accompany them to Zhennanguan, put the bear in Zhennanguan and then come back, and paid a certain amount of travel expenses. "
"So that's what happened. Head, if you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go. We can live peacefully."
Mei Jingjing was worried about Liang An's journey, and Lin E did say something beside her.
"Jingjing, you'd better let your husband go out and see more. Maybe by increasing his knowledge and getting in touch with the official team, he can get a better ranking in the imperial examination."
Lin E is someone who has been there and knows some things. Even though he has never seen it personally, given his age, he has heard more stories than Mei Jingjing and others have talked about.
Liang An felt a little embarrassed when he saw Lin E supporting him.
"Aunt Lin has something she wants to discuss with you."
"You can just talk about anything, why do you need to discuss it?"
Lin E was very generous. Seeing that Liang An didn't understand what Liang An wanted to discuss with her, Liang An didn't be polite and started talking directly.
"I don't know how long I will be out this time, and Jingjing is the only one at home. Since Aunt Lin is alone, can I let Aunt Lin come to my home to live with Jingjing?
Don't worry, I will let Jingjing and Aunt Lin work together. I won't let Jingjing take advantage of Aunt Lin for nothing. I will also give Aunt Lin a certain amount of money. Is that okay? "
"Look at what you said. We are all fellow villagers, so shouldn't we help? Let's talk about money later. I'm still waiting for you to find me to help you after you become famous."
"That's easy to say. Now I'll ask Aunt Lin to help me first. During this period, Liang Sheng and Uncle Zhang will make money based on some of the transactions I mentioned, and half of it will be given to Aunt Lin. This is great."
"ah?"
Lin E was stunned. He knew that Liang Sheng would only get thirty or fifty cash when he went to sell fish. He gave half of it to himself, which was more than a dozen cash, and to Zhang Danian.
Although I don’t know what kind of tasks Zhang Danian has been assigned by Liang, but even if it is one copper plate a day, it will still be more than a dozen in half a month. This is more than what he earns by weaving.
"How can this be done? It can't be done. It can't be done."
Lin E kept refusing, but Liang An was talking there.
"I don't just want Aunt Lin to watch over Jingjing for me, I also want you to serve her."
Liang An said with a smile, but Lin E didn't refuse anything.
"Okay, then I will accept your kindness and I will serve you well."
But after this incident came to an end in Liang An's heart, Liang An looked at Mei Jingjing apologetically.
"Madam, it seems that I won't be able to go to your mother's house with you tomorrow to have a wedding."
Mei Jingjing also knew what was going on, "The business of the head of the family is more important. With Aunt Lin's words, maybe you can get in touch with the official family and become an official without taking the imperial examination?"
"Oh, look at your little head, you've been a fan of officials all day long."
The two were joking like this, and Lin E was also very sensible.
"I'll take my leave since you're busy."
"I'll see Aunt Lin off."
"No, no, no, they're all from the same village. They're all in the dark. I know where my home is and nothing will happen to me."
When Liang An and Mei Jingjing sent Lin E home, they held hands and walked back to their courtyard on the empty street. Liang An and Mei Jingjing realized they hadn't eaten yet.
Liang An slapped his head, "Look, I didn't stay with Aunt Lin for dinner. You must apologize to Aunt Lin on my behalf tomorrow."
"Don't worry, boss. I will definitely make it clear to Aunt Lin. I won't make Aunt Lin resent the boss."
"Then it's all down to you."
Then there was another scene of respecting each other as guests.
The next morning, as soon as Liang An opened his eyes, he saw Mei Jingjing packing her bags.
Several new clothes were neatly folded by Mei Jingjing, placed in a package and handed to Liang An. At the same time, toiletries were also prepared so that Liang An could accompany the nobleman south in a dignified manner.
As soon as Liang An stood up, he looked at the items prepared for him and hugged Mei Jingjing from behind.
"My wife will let you stay at home for a while again. But don't worry, as soon as the matter is completed, I will come back as soon as possible. By then, we will be able to live with peace of mind for the rest of our lives."
Liang An didn't tell Mei Jingjing about the five hundred taels of silver. He also told Zhang Danian, and Zhang Danian was not a big-mouthed person, and he would not just shout about the five hundred taels of silver.
Liang An was there to comfort Mei Jingjing, who really felt like she was about to cry.
"You, the head of the house, are responsible for big things. Don't delay your love here. It's better to hurry up and get going. Don't let others think that we are unreliable. This is the best."
"Listen to me, I will work hard this time. I will never cause any trouble to you."
In this way, the two had a simple breakfast, and Liang An took his luggage out of his home and went to the gathering place mentioned by Meng Guangyi behind the village.
From afar, he saw a team gathering there. When Liang An got closer, he could see clearly that this was clearly an army from the Dakang Dynasty.
Everyone is wearing iron armor.
The people in fancy clothes that I saw yesterday have now put on their armor, and in front of them, sitting on a horse that is not very tall, is a young man.
Although the young man was not wearing armor, he looked elegant in his elegant attire. Who could he be if he wasn't Meng Guangyi?
Meng Guangyi saw Liang An's arrival from afar, and waved to Liang An on his horse.
"Brother Liang, you are finally here. Our team has been assembled and ready to set off."
Liang An looked at this team. In addition to Meng Guangyi riding a horse, there were seven or eight others riding horses that were not very tall. They might be the little leaders in this team. There were also There were several carriages pulling supplies, and there was no horse other than the double carriage pulling a cage with a brown bear in it.
Dakang lacks horses, which means that Dakang can only use infantry to fight against the Tu cavalry in the north and west. In the cold weapon era, cavalry naturally suppressed infantry, and Dakang was able to use infantry and cavalry to fight evenly. Although Every year, I spend a lot of tax burden to buy peace, but it is already very valuable.
Liang An couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Dakang is a good place, but there is no suitable pasture for grazing horses and training a strong cavalry team.
But now is not the time to think about this. Now that Meng Guangyi has waved to him, Liang An quickly moves forward.
"Brother Meng, it's been a long time. This time I'm going to cause trouble for Brother Meng."
"What are you talking about?"
Meng Guangyi looked at Liang An like this and spoke to him even more peacefully.
"Now that you've arrived, let's set off. You can just find a carriage and sit on it later."
"No need to go to such trouble. I can just put my luggage on the carriage and walk. They can travel wearing iron armor, so I have no problem walking."
