When Jiang Huaixu, Jiang Zhengmao and Jiang Dazhuang drove their carriage to the tofu stall, it was already noon and business was a little slow.
As soon as she saw Jiang Huaixu and Fu Tuan, Jiang Wei rushed over and picked up Fu Tuan with great effort while saying to Jiang Huaixu, "Little sister, you don't know that the Li's Tofu Shop also imitated us and sold iron plate tofu. Unfortunately, their business is not as good as ours. Many people like spicy food!
Besides, ours is clearly sizzling tofu, but hers is frying it in a pan. How can they call it sizzling tofu? It should be called iron pot tofu!"
After Jiang Wei finished mumbling about the funny things that happened in the morning, the adults stopped talking.
"Xu girl, are we still going to rent a house now?" Jiang Zhengmao walked over and asked.
If the son of the county magistrate could survive, Qingnang Pavilion would owe Xu Yatou a big favor. It would not be considered as taking advantage of him if they left their pots, pans, and utensils in Qingnang Pavilion.
"Uncle, don't you want our Jiang family's sons to learn to read and write and take exams?" Jiang Huaixu asked.
How could Jiang Zhengmao not think about it? He wanted it so badly!
Unfortunately, there are not many children of Erlang and Jiang Zhou's age in the village who can read. Jiang Erlang is the only one who relies on self-study and has made a name for himself among the scholars in Ping'an Town.
"Of course I would. I'd like to set up a clan school for the children, but with our current situation, it's still a long way off!"
Jiang Huaixu then told Jiang Erlang about his and Jiang Erlang's plan.
After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to buy a two-story house in the county town. If something happens and I can't go back to the village, I'll have a place to stay. If he can pass the county school entrance exam next year, my second brother will also have a place to go."
After hearing this, Jiang Zhengmao had an idea: how great it would be if Jiang Zhou could also enter the county school?
Thinking of his youngest son's poor handwriting and the fact that he was idle all day long, Jiang Zhengmao felt that he was a little too fanciful.
He glanced at the girl Xu and asked carefully, "Girl, do you think your cousin Zhou is a good student?"
Jiang Wei, who had been listening to their gossip, whispered, "Cousin Zhou is almost the same as my third brother. They both don't like studying. My parents always say that my third brother is not a good student..."
What this means is that your son is not good at studying either.
Jiang Zhengmao was not annoyed. What Wei Jieer said was true. He also felt that it was right.
"There are some differences. Our third brother is naturally not fond of studying, but cousin Zhou is different. He is easily influenced by others and is commonly known as a bad student. Recently, I see that he has been getting close to Zheng Yuan and the others, and he has become more and more indulgent."
Jiang Huaixu thought about how Jiang Zhou always asked him to teach them kung fu and always wanted to fight with the guys from the Lin family, so he wanted to put some pressure on him and make them behave themselves.
She smiled amiably, "Uncle, why don't you lock him up with my second brother to read, and then check on him after a few days?"
Jiang Zhengmao thought about it and realized that his youngest son used to be close to Erlang in Shili Village, and he was indeed much more obedient than he is now.
"Okay, uncle, let's try it when we get back." Jiang Zhengmao talked about Jiang Huaixu's house purchase again, "Why don't we use public funds to rent the house you bought, so that the benefits don't go to outsiders. We can also have someone stay in the county town every day to look after our things."
Jiang Huaixu nodded, "I think so too. One person doesn't take up much space, so the rent can be based on the rent for entering the house."
"What rent? What house?" Jiang Boliang's voice sounded above the three people's heads.
Jiang Huaixu then remembered that she had not discussed with her father and mother about buying a house. She hurriedly and attentively helped her father to sit down and brought two bowls of soy milk.
Just as he started, Jiang Boliang couldn't swallow or spit out the soy milk stuck in his throat.
He swallowed it with difficulty and said, "Where can we buy..." He got a house.
Halfway through his words, he thought about the money he had left with his wife, and it seemed that he could really buy a house in Beichuan County.
His face looked a little bitter. His wife called him "the boss of the family", but he was so rich that he didn't even know how much money he had.
"Are we going to buy a house in the county town now?"
The step was so big that he couldn't catch his breath.
Jiang Huaixu is really optimistic about the houses in Beichuan County and wants to buy more than one house.
I heard before that they would continue to accept refugees. At this time, refugees who can reach Chongming Prefecture must be either tenacious, lucky or rich. They can make a lot of money by reselling them.
Besides, if you don’t buy now, the price will increase even more in the future.
"Dad, my third brother and I all had our money taken away by mother. Is it possible that we can't buy a house? How about you help me get the money back, and my youngest sister and I can pool our money to buy it."
At this time, Jiang Wei's brain was working very well. Although she wanted to know what it was like to stay in the county town for a night, she wanted to get her money back more.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Boliang immediately stood up and said, "Sister Wei, Dad will go discuss the matter of buying a house with your mother..."
Jiang Wei looked at her father's fleeing back and stamped her feet in anger.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Zhengmao took Jiang Dazhuang to the county government office to buy a land deed. Jiang Huaixu looked at the account book of Jiang Boliang's spice sales, and only went to Qingnang Pavilion after he had a rough idea of the results.
There were still many patients coming and going in the Qingnang Hall, and some were still talking about what happened yesterday. When the medicine boy saw Jiang Huaixu, he immediately came forward and said, "Miss Jiang, you are here? Are you here to see how Young Master Yang is doing? He had a fever this morning, but he's much better after taking the medicine you gave him..."
Jiang Huaixu asked about the boy's other conditions. Seeing that everything was fine, he thought of taking his pulse and checking his injuries before leaving.
"Miss Jiang?" A maid dressed as a maid smiled at the sight of Jiang Huaixu. "Madam told you to go directly to the inner chamber after you arrive."
Jiang Huaixu felt a little awkward because of the enthusiasm.
She nodded and walked towards the inner room.
Madam Yang was the only one taking care of the Qingnang Pavilion in the inner room at the backyard. She looked over immediately when she heard the noise.
Seeing clearly that it was Jiang Huaixu, Mrs. Yang's eyes showed deep gratitude. She stood up, took a few quick steps and held Jiang Huaixu's hand.
"Thank you so much for taking the trouble to come here today. If it weren't for the medicine powder you left this morning, my Zheng'er would have suffered a lot."
As she spoke, her eyes became red again.
"Your son is young. As long as he can get over the fever, he will definitely recover. Don't worry, madam." She comforted him with a few words and walked to the bedside to take his pulse.
After taking the boy's pulse, she looked at the wound on his abdomen, which looked a little red and swollen.
"Madam, you can wipe the wound and the surrounding area with strong liquor, and boil the cloth in boiling water. This may help."
"Okay, I'll take note of it." Mrs. Yang nodded repeatedly.
"Then I'll leave first." She took out two more packets of powdered medicine and said, "If the fever returns tomorrow, take this, just like today."
After saving Yang Zheng, her points account gained more than 80,000 points, so she was not stingy with the antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
After handing the powder to Madam Yang, Jiang Huaixu was about to leave when he heard Madam Yang say, "Wait a minute, young lady."
