The horse was driving smoothly, and the four brothers and sisters were sitting in the carriage, harmoniously.
Xu Mo knew everything, but he still smiled calmly and listened to his sister bragging about his great achievements during this period.
Jiang Sheng clearly felt guilty, but he still had to stay calm and explain everything about opening his own workshop.
Coupled with the simple and ignorant Wen Zhiyun, and Chang Yan who sensed something was wrong, it was really lively.
"After repeated consideration, I still want to rent a small courtyard with two entrances nearby. Bai Shui Shui is different from other things. It is precious and special. Not many people are willing to eat it, and not many people can afford it. ." Jiang Sheng said arrogantly, "In addition to the small output, the second yard is enough."
I absolutely don't admit it, because my money is too tight and I can't afford to rent a large courtyard with four or five people's income, nor can I afford a small villa outside the city.
"It seems that you have worked very hard during this time." Xu Mo nodded thoughtfully, "You are a good baby."
Jiang Sheng's face was immediately filled with a proud smile.
"But..." Xu Mo changed his tone and smiled slightly in the frightened eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, "Is there no news about the second and third children during this period?"
Jiang Sheng swallowed, "No, no."
"The second child and the third child are these two heartless people. We missed them so much in Fengjing, but we didn't even send a letter." Xu Mo lowered his eyelashes and said calmly, "When they come back, this account will definitely have to be settled. "
No matter how I listen to it, I feel like I am criticizing Sang and Huai.
Jiang Sheng trembled more and more, and the fear and entanglement in her heart kept swallowing her up. At the moment when she finally drowned, she stretched out her small fleshy hand, grabbed the hem of Xu Mo's green clothes, and said aggrievedly, "Brother, you are taking exams these days. , we hid something from you...can you please don't be angry."
Next to them, Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan sat upright instantly: Sister, don't use derogatory words like "we".
"Oh, really." Xu Mo's expression was noncommittal.
Jiang Sheng sniffed and told what happened on the third day of the exam without forgetting to argue, "You were taking the exam at that time. If we disturb you at such a critical moment, we will feel uneasy."
Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan, who had been dragged into the water, agreed with grimaces.
I thought that my eldest brother would be angry, lose his temper, and blame them for hiding it from him.
Unexpectedly, the young man was just silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand and hugged his beady little sister, "You must be frightened when something like this happens."
But even in such a frightening moment, they were unwilling to disturb his test.
When I was young, I always felt that if something was hidden, I would lose my temper and get angry.
Only when I got older did I realize that well-intentioned concealment comes from greater love and care.
"Thinking about it, if I were you, I would have kept it secret at that critical moment." Xu Mo said slowly, "It's just that I have already finished the exam, so you should have told me as soon as possible, instead of asking me to tell you from outsiders. Heard.”
"I know I was wrong, brother, that's not how human beings are." Jiang Sheng muttered in a low voice, "I planned to tell you when I get home."
That's what concealment is like. The more you hide it, the more panic you get, and the more you hide it, the more panic you get.
People who don't have the power and determination to do it are best to be aboveboard. If you lie even a little bit, you won't be able to sleep, so why bother.
"What are you going to do about this matter?" The topic returned to the right track, Xu Mo's face was full of solemnity.
He had long known that his brothers were not simple, and he had long been prepared to go through fire and water for them, but he never expected that the first one to have problems would be his precious little sister.
The Jiang family is such a huge family. If he was an elder brother who followed others' influence, he should have encouraged his younger sister to go back by now.
But he's not.
From Shili Town to now, Xu Mo has only one wish: for his younger brothers and sisters to grow up happily.
He studied hard, took the imperial examination, and was upright. He was the guiding light and the protective wing of his younger brothers and sisters. Although his power was very small, no matter when and where he was, his elder brother would always be at the forefront.
No turning back!
"Jiang Sheng, if you want to go back, your brothers will always be at the rear to protect you." Xu Mo paused slightly, "If you don't want to go back, even if the Jiang family's generals come back from the border, they won't be able to take you away."
"Big Brother will hide you behind his back. Anyone who wants to snatch you away will step over Big Brother's body!"
He is thin, he is weak, and he has trouble killing a chicken.
But when he said these words, it seemed as if the wind was blowing the hem of his clothes, and he was filled with pride.
Company Commander Yan and Wen Zhiyun were both infected, clenched their fists and said, "We will also protect our sister."
But in the carriage, there is no wind.
Jiang Sheng wanted to laugh, but before he could raise the corners of his mouth, the tip of his nose felt sour.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "There's no point in stepping over the body. Jiang Sheng won't let others hurt my brother, and neither will the Jiang family."
She has the best five brothers in the world, who have given her their only love, so what else can she be dissatisfied with?
Whoever wants to go back to the Jiang family can go back. Little Niuniu just wants to be with her brothers and never be separated.
When they got off the carriage, the brothers and sisters were beaming with joy.
Passing by the ash pile at the door, Jiang Sheng glanced subconsciously. It was very flat and there were no signs of turning.
Zhang Xianglian's happy voice came from inside the house, "You are back, Ru Qian has sent a message."
She looked away and rushed over, "Second brother has a conscience and knows to give us some news."
Xu Mo stepped up his pace, followed closely by Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan.
The four little heads gathered together and stared at the familiar scrawl.
Speaking of which, among the siblings, with the exception of Xu Mo, who has great literary talent and good calligraphy, only Xiao Wu can read. The others are either too sloppy or can only be read, and some of them are only known to her.
Zheng Ruqian's writing is a bit sloppy, but you can still see what he wrote.
"The second brother said that he has returned to Anshui County to expand his workshop, and the frontier has been opened up."
"The second brother said that the frontier is bitterly cold and the third brother has suffered a lot. As a brother, he doesn't have much ability, but he can provide his younger brother with meat."
"The second brother also said that we should spread the news in Feng Jingshi's house to see if there are any noble people who need to deliver things to their relatives on the border."
Chang Yan finished reading slowly in a light voice.
Jiang Sheng added at the end, "But you have to pay more."
The whole family couldn't help but laugh. Zheng Laoer never wanted to do business that would make him lose money. The businessman's shrewdness was clearly demonstrated in him.
But he was so bold as to want to deliver things to the military camp, which surprised his family.
"Isn't it a bit dangerous to transport things to the border?" Xu Mo frowned and said, "It's better to send things to the military camp. This must obtain the consent of the general stationed there and must go through many inspections. If something goes wrong, you will not be able to escape legal responsibility. .”
It can be said that this is a thankless job.
Making money is unknown, but the danger is visible to the naked eye.
This is also the reason why businessmen are least willing to get involved with officials. If they do well, they will have great merits, but if they do poorly, they will be blamed.
