Chapter 204 Demolishing Daliu Village
With the help of everyone, Jiang Fengmiao hugged a pile of copper plates and broken silver, and was as proud as a hare. He disappeared in a flash
. Feng Shi chased him hard, but was still left two miles behind.
The boy was so happy that he ran home and counted the money!
This time, he sold 25 copies, and he should have earned 1,250 wen, which is one tael of silver, plus 250 copper plates.
But because some customers gave more broken silver, Fengmiao went home to get a small scale, and he actually earned a full three and a half taels this time!
Jiang Fengmiao was so happy that his teeth were not visible.
In the afternoon, he patted his bulging waist bag and persuaded Jiang Fengnian to take him into the city.
Jiang Fengnian couldn't stand his brother's pleading, so he smiled and flicked his head, deliberately teasing him.
"You've made a lot of money now, don't forget to share the bill with me and your second sister-in-law, we both helped you."
Jiang Fengmiao knew it was a joke, so he held the money tightly in his little hands and said only nice things.
"Split, split! Big brother, when I sell ice cream and make a lot of money, I will buy a big house for you and my second sister-in-law!"
Jiang Fengnian chuckled and tightened the reins of the donkey cart: "You clever little ghost, you just draw big cakes for big brother."
Jiang Fengmiao laughed and began to calculate how to spend the three taels of silver...
When he got home, Xiao Fengmiao was so full of things that he couldn't even open the door.
A total of three and a half taels, he spent two taels for Xiao Nuobao, buying a small round fan with brocade fabric and brocade, a pair of rabbit toys, a shuttlecock made of peacock blue feathers.
And a small necklace made of amethyst.
He also bought a silver bracelet for his mother and sisters-in-law, each with different patterns of spring flowers and autumn moon, peony flowers, and brocade carp welcoming spring.
After handing all these over, Nuobao's eyes were immediately brightened, and his little body jumped forward, shaking the brocade fan.
Jiang Fengmiao glanced at Fengjing awkwardly again, took out a stack of Wuyun rice paper, and pushed it over.
"I bought this for you." Fengmiao pouted, covering his heart: "It's just such a small thing! It cost me more than two hundred coins! Scholars really spend money."
In the morning, he wiped his butt with the straw paper that Dean Wei gave Fengjing exclusively, the finest Liusha rice paper.
Jiang Fengmiao later found out that after searching the city, he still couldn't find any shop that sold it, so he had to pick out other expensive paper and sold it to Feng Jing.
Jiang Fengjing had actually stopped being angry a long time ago.
Looking at Fengmiao's painful expression, he just found it funny.
Jiang Fengmiao took out another ink tablet carefully wrapped in thin paper. He bought it when he passed by a clerical shop and remembered that his fourth brother liked good ink the most, so he reluctantly spent more than a hundred coins on it.
"This is for you too." Jiang Fengmiao said unyieldingly, and handed it over awkwardly.
Jiang Fengjing narrowed his eyes and deliberately said, "Ink is still better. At least some people won't take it to wipe their butts."
The Feng family and the others couldn't help laughing.
"If you use this to wipe, Fengmiao's butt will be rubbed black!" Jiang Fenghu joked loudly.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said that. As soon as Xiao Nuobao heard it, she couldn't help imagining that her fifth brother had a butt full of black ink. She slapped the edge of the kang and covered her mouth with her hands, laughing until she rolled over.
Fengmiao was also amused, laughing with gaps in her teeth, holding her belly and shaking.
At this time, Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi happened to hear it, and hurried in to see what everyone was laughing at.
Jiang Fengnian saw Mr. Xiao and seemed to have remembered something. He didn't care about joking anymore, so he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him.
"I picked it up in the city. The postman saw the Xiao family seal on the letter and didn't dare to neglect it. He planned to deliver it before the evening. He happened to meet me on the way and asked me to accept the letter."
Xiao Lanyi looked down and saw that it was a letter for him.
Moreover, it was sent from the capital...
He thought there was something urgent at home, so he opened it and took a look.
However, after reading it, his handsome face fell and he looked like a bitter gourd.
"What's wrong? Is there any important matter at your house?" Jiang Fengze asked with concern.
Xiao Lanyi covered her chest: "What? It was my grandmother and my mother who urged me to return to Beijing... They said they wanted me to meet the girls, and my grandmother is anxious to hold her great-grandson."
Jiang Fengze couldn't help but want to laugh: "You said... You are not very old, but your mother and grandmother are really anxious."
Xiao Lanyi lowered her cheeks.
There was another sentence in the letter, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the Jiang family.
The old lady of the Xiao family said that if the good grandson didn't leave the village and go to Beijing within five days, then she would take people to demolish Dalui Village and build a pigpen!
Thinking of the domineering grandmother, Xiao Lanyi's shoulders trembled.
But speaking of this, it can't be blamed entirely on the old lady Xiao.
After all, the Xiao family is a high-ranking family in the Southern Ji Dynasty. Even the Xiao Lanyi family, which is a branch, can walk around in the capital.
Xiao Lanyi's grandfather died early, and his father had few children. He was surrounded by his aunt all day long, but he was the only child.
As a nobleman, he should have inherited his family business in Beijing, but he chose to run to this rural place. How could the elders in his family not worry?
Xiao Lanyi sighed softly, "Grandmother must have known that I entered the Liaodong Camp, so she was particularly anxious to let me return home."
Jiang Fengze came closer and said curiously, "The Liaodong Camp was originally commanded by your Xiao family. Now it has come back to you, a member of the Xiao family. Your family should not be happy, why are you still trying to stop it?"
Xiao Lanyi shrugged, and a rare flash of worry flashed across his bright eyes.
"You only know one side of the story."
"Although Liaodongying is the bloodline of the Xiao family, it is mainly the main family. My family is a side branch. According to my grandmother's wishes, I should follow in my father's footsteps and find a stable job in Beijing. I can live a life of wealth and safety with the help of my main family."
And a place like Liaodongying, stationed outside Beijing, where there might even be fighting and bloodshed, is naturally not suitable for him, the only son of a noble family.
The two were muttering in the outer room. In the inner room, Xiao Nuobao, who was hugging the ugly Master Rabbit, suddenly stood up and looked out the window.
"Xiao Guoguo~" Xiao Nuobao's mind flashed a thought, and she scratched her head: "It seems like someone is coming~"
"Nuobao, what did you say?" Xiao Lanyi hadn't reacted yet.
Little Nuobao felt a strong aura, at least more than thirty people, rushing towards the village entrance!
She pointed out the window and said in a baby voice: "...Someone is coming to see you, Xiao Guoguo, you'd better go to the village entrance and wait."
The letter in Xiao Lanyi's hand fell to the ground with a plop.
Could it be grandma?
No way, the letter just arrived, and someone came to the door? ?
He didn't dare to think about it, and ran out in a hurry. As soon as he reached the village entrance, he heard Dahuang barking non-stop.
Then, he saw a luxurious carriage, creaking, followed by more than thirty followers, driving all the way to the village!
"Xiao Lanyi, you rebellious grandson!" In the carriage, a graceful woman leaned out, pointed at Xiao Lanyi and glared!
"Finally I found you, you bastard. Let me take a look. Is this a good place? Or is there someone who has seduced you and made you lose your home!" The old lady rolled up her sleeves and shouted.
Xiao Lanyi's calves trembled: "Old... Ancestor?"
Oh no, looking at this situation, grandma is not really going to demolish Daliu Village!
