Xu Mo's voice was not high-pitched, nor did he have any ferocious tone.
But Zheng Ruqian was so frightened that he shrank his neck, pulled Jiang Sheng in front of him, and hid.
Jiang Sheng's face was filled with disgust.
He turned around and looked at Xu Mo with admiration, "Brother, you have been suffering for the past three days. Are you hungry? My aunt has already made a big pot of elbows, waiting for you to eat."
She stretched out her hand to pull her eldest brother, but Xu Mo stepped back and waved his hand at her. He turned around and went to the Gongyuan shed to empty the bedpan before returning slowly.
The brothers and sisters got on the carriage and returned to the Hairpin Flower Courtyard. They had a short rest for the night and prepared for the next three days.
But before that, there is something that needs to be resolved.
Late at night, Xu Mo visited the county magistrate's mansion alone.
After passing through the door and being introduced, the tall and tall young man stood calmly in front of Sheriff He, who was wearing single clothes, and bowed and saluted, "The student has met the Sheriff, and I would like to thank you for rescuing the student at the gate of Gongyuan three days ago. "
He Chengzhang looked him up and down, with a smile in his eyes, "You're welcome, I'm not targeting you. When any student encounters something, he always puts the exam first."
The examination is held once every three years. If you miss this year, you will have to wait another three years.
The most precious thing for scholars is time. The difference between the fourteen-year-old Jieyuan and the seventeen-year-old Jieyuan is not even a point or two.
Xu Mo bowed his hand again, "The students came here late at night just to ask the county governor who ordered Sun Quanzhu and what was his purpose?"
Although there are some guesses in my mind, I can't determine the culprit behind it.
After careful consideration, Xu Mo decided to go to County Sheriff He for personal consultation.
This decision was very bold, but it also made He Chengzhang highly appreciative.
He considered for a moment, tapping his fingers repeatedly on the wooden chair, and finally stood up with his hands behind his back and said softly, "It's the Fang family."
really.
Although Wang Yuyao was jealous of Fang Heng and fell in love with their brother and sister, she did not have such a deep palace and could arrange everything before leaving. The behavior at the gate of the Gongyuan could only be what the Fang family ordered the Sun family to do.
However, the Fang family member from Fengjing stepped forward to lend a helping hand, which no one expected.
Xu Mo's heart was filled with fear, and various speculations were running through his mind, but he had no idea.
After a long time, he bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Lord Sheriff. The students know."
He Chengzhang stared at the young man intently, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "It's late at night, go back and rest early, we have to go to Gongyuan tomorrow."
Xu Mo nodded heavily and turned to leave.
After exiting the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, there were four children lined up outside, drowsily guarding a carriage.
However, when they heard the sound of the door opening, they woke up and gathered around each other chattering, asking, "Brother, who is it?"
"What did the Sheriff say? Is it the Fang family?"
Xu Mo laughed. He originally wanted to visit the Sheriff alone, but his younger brothers and sisters were worried and all clamored to follow him.
It was enough to follow him, they didn't want to see Governor He, so they simply squatted at the door and waited, just to know the news as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, this news is not very good.
Xu Mo pursed his lips a few times, but finally told the truth, "It's the Fang family."
"I knew it." Zheng Ruqian shouted angrily, "A dog can't change a bunch of people who eat shit. The third child won't let us go, for fear that our life will be better."
"He also deliberately pretended to be nice and asked us if we wanted to help." Jiang Sheng put his hands on his hips angrily, "A thief shouts "Catch a thief," and a dog eats shit and calls it smelly."
These are all weird metaphors.
Zheng Ruqian and Wen Zhiyun were both amused and reached out to play with Jiang Sheng's pigtails.
Only Chang Yan still remembered to comfort his eldest brother, "With the Sheriff here, Anshui County will always be peaceful."
Once upon a time, they were also hostile to Governor He, but later they found out that they just had different stances, and they all had the same desire to care for the people.
Just like at the gate of Gongyuan, Governor He could have ignored Xu Mo, but he still stood up.
With him here, Anshui County is still a blue sky, and the people of Anshui County can continue to live and work in peace and contentment.
Xu Mo's eyes were filled with emotion, and he thought again of the county governor of Anshui County, of Magistrate Pang, of his father, and of the honest officials who would do anything for the people.
It is precisely because of the presence of thousands of them that the Dayu Dynasty can be prosperous, strong and fair.
It is they who, with their thin bodies, hold up the clear sky and restore peace and tranquility to the people.
Xu Mo folded his hands in front of him, stood at the door of the Sheriff's Mansion, and bowed respectfully.
Then he took the carriage home.
The next day, at the gate of Gongyuan.
In order to prevent the Sun family from continuing to cause trouble, the children in Hairpin Flower Courtyard not only changed their carriage today, but even the person pulling the carriage was replaced by Zhang Qiquan, who rarely showed his face in front of others.
After learning what happened last time, Uncle Zhang rolled up his sleeves near his arms and rubbed his upper and lower teeth repeatedly, "If he dares to come here again today, I won't call him Zhang Qiquan unless his teeth are knocked out."
Fortunately, nothing happened until Xu Mo entered the Gongyuan.
Even the housekeeper Fang didn't appear in everyone's sight.
The children in Hairpin Flower Courtyard breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the workshop to do their own business.
In fact, it was mainly Zheng Ruqian who was busy.
After gathering the thoughts of the brothers and sisters that day and figuring out all the key points, he began to hire people aggressively, bought a yard, and dug a cellar.
It's April in Anshui County, so ice can't be frozen anymore, but you can buy ice when it's cheap and store it to avoid the high price of ice in summer.
Also taking advantage of this period of time, Zheng Ruqian encouraged Jiang Sheng to liquidate the family's existing savings.
Jiang Sheng's face was full of wariness. In her inherent impression, every time her family had to liquidate their savings, they would spend everything and not even a penny was left.
"Little Jiang Sheng, let's do the math. We can't live in a haze. We have to know how much money our family has." Zheng Ruqian coaxed his sister while mentally calculating the money needed to hire someone to buy a yard and buy ice.
Oh yes, there is also money to dig a cellar.
Jiang Sheng emptied his purse with resistance on his face.
The annual profit of the workshop is about one hundred taels. The third brother's annual income is enough to earn one thousand taels. The second brother earns more than one hundred taels from running roast duck. Pang Pangshan and Wang Xiaosong can earn about one hundred taels a year from transporting vegetables. , the eldest brother saved a hundred taels as a master, and the fourth brother opened a medical clinic and paid more than fifty taels.
And the five hundred taels given by Brother Fufeng before the third brother left were also in Jiang Sheng's hands.
Including the foundation saved before, it is a full two thousand taels.
This is really a number that I couldn't even imagine before. If you plan carefully, you can even live a lifetime.
Holding all the banknotes in his hands, Jiang Sheng even felt confused and dreamy.
Leng Buding Zheng Ruqian reached out and grabbed it, looking through it with his big teeth, "It's great, great, this money should be almost enough."
Jiang Sheng's hands were instantly empty.
There was a wind blowing through it, but it was empty.
She frowned, pursed her small mouth, and endured it for a few moments, but still couldn't hold it back and cried out "Wow".
