Qiao Xin looked at the dimly lit sky, the light no longer affecting their journey, so she just started to chase them away.
[Have you eaten enough? If you have, leave on your own. Since you have already left the mountain, don't stay at my house. After leaving the village, climb over two earthen slopes, and walk another 20 miles, you will reach Jing'an Town.]
Xu Can's hand holding the chopsticks froze. He didn't want to go back so soon. He felt inexplicably safe in front of the old lady. But he also knew that if he didn't go back, many people would not be able to sleep, especially the old man at home, who would surely be crying and looking for him all over the world.
But who can guarantee that there won't be any more accidents along the way? He absolutely doesn't believe that this accident was just a coincidence.
Yuan was quick to notice that the young master was in a bad mood, and hurried to save the situation, saying, "Auntie, you should deal with these pigs and bears in time. How about selling them all to my restaurant? I guarantee the price will be fair. That's right, that's right... Auntie, can you take us over as well?"
Qiao Xin raised her eyelids and glanced at him. This servant was really responsible and always considered his master. He was planning to buy things from her family and let him be a free bodyguard!
The abacus beads broke onto her face!
Xu Can also reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, the Jingtai Restaurant in the town is owned by my grandmother's family. They buy game all year round, and the price is fair. You can find out if you ask around. If you just send me there, I will give you another 100 taels as hard work fee."
[Who is Yang Mingchun to you? ] Qiao Yuanqing, who had been observing for a long time, suddenly asked.
[It’s my grandfather!]
Yang Can didn't expect to suddenly hear his grandfather's name here.
Qiao Yuanqing immediately revealed Yang Can's true identity, [Are you Xiaoyao Hou's youngest son? ]
A Yuan immediately blocked Yang Can behind him and looked at everyone present with a vigilant look on his face.
But Qiao Yuanqing turned around and bowed to Qiao Xin, "Mother, I was able to go to school because of the kindness of the Yang family. If it weren't for the good deeds done by Old Yang during those years when he returned to his hometown, I wouldn't be able to read and write."
Xu Can didn't expect this to happen. His grandfather had passed away for almost ten years, and there were still people here who remembered his grandfather's kindness.
Qiao Xin then remembered that her second son was able to pass the exam thanks to a wealthy family in Jing'an Town. She said, how could this poor family afford to send their children to school?
The Yang family was the largest gentry in the town. They once had a Shangshulang, and were considered a well-known noble family in the capital. Unfortunately, during the reign of the last emperor, the government was corrupt and the people were living in poverty. Natural disasters and man-made disasters continued. When the Uighurs invaded Jiangcheng and the Jiangcheng Massacre occurred, the last emperor fled with his royal relatives and nobles without a fight. Old Yang was extremely disappointed with the court. After escaping the disaster, he resigned from his official position and hibernated in the village waiting for the emergence of a wise leader, but unfortunately, his fate never came true until his death. In the first few years after Old Yang returned to his hometown, he met the five-year-old Qiao Yuanqing by chance when he went out.
At that time, Qiao Yuanqing had learned to hide his incompetence. He secretly learned Chinese characters and poems by doing odd jobs for a group of students on a spring outing. He was not panicked at all even when he was discovered at such a young age, which made Old Yang remember him vividly.
As a result, Qiao Yunqing was transformed from a servant into a handyman in Yang Family Academy. Whether he could gain anything from it depended on his ability. He often took the opportunity of cleaning to eavesdrop on the children's reading. Qiao Yunqing was like a sponge, never missing a chance to learn. In just two years, Qiao Yunqing had secretly memorized all the books of the elementary school.
But at this moment, Yang Mingchun passed away suddenly.
Qiao Yunqing also lost this job for some reason, but with the experience he gained in the past two years, he actually found a job in a bookstore. This was like a mouse falling into a rice jar.
At that time, Qiao Xin spent most of her time earning money to pay for her father's medical treatment and worrying about the family's livelihood. How difficult is it for a woman?
She felt sorry for her three sons who had to make a living in the town at such a young age, but she could do nothing about it. In this chaotic world, having food to eat is better than starving to death.
The second son had not told the original body who had helped him, and the original body was not bothered to ask. Those two years were definitely not as easy as Qiao Yunqing said. If they really saw his talent, why didn't they accept him as an introductory disciple, but only let him do odd jobs in the academy? Qiao Yuanqing was obviously unwilling to elaborate, and Qiao Xin was tactful and didn't ask any more questions.
However, no matter what, Qiao Yuanqing was the one who suffered the consequences, and he had to repay the favor.
In order to avoid having too many daily dreams, Qiao Xin made a decision directly, "Big brother, third brother, go to the village to get a few carts, and go to the town at dawn. Second brother, follow me into the house, you master and servant should also wash yourselves, take a rest, and then set off together. 】
After Qiao Xin waited for the people to enter the side room, she handed the silver from Xu Can to Qiao Yuanqing. [We can consider going to a more affluent place. This money is enough for us to stay.]
Qiao Yuanqing looked at the dozen or so gold melon seeds and seven or eight silver bills in his hand, and his heart was shocked. This was not enough to settle down. It was more than enough for them to become small landlords. When did my mother become so powerful? Why did she do that before?
He was confused and asked Qiao Xin, "Does my mother want to go to the capital?"
to
Qiao Xin looked at him in surprise: [Do you think this little capital can guarantee us a place in Beijing? Is that what you imagined? I mean it can be a little better than the place we discussed yesterday.] Qiao Xin pointed a little distance with her finger.
to
Qiao Yunqing curled his lips and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. [My son will go to the street with you guys later. I will ask around. Leave the money in your hands.]
to
Qiao Xin Qiao Xin was not hypocritical, "You can use the 100 taels to buy a nice carriage for the children and the women to rest. You three brothers can sit in the ox cart. If we can't afford it when we get to where we live, we can just sell it."
As for food, clothes, shoes and other daily necessities, he planned to go shopping for them himself today. His daughter-in-law and son had been used to a hard life, so they would definitely not be willing to buy good things all at once.
Qiao Yunxin and Qiao Yunting each carried a large pork leg, and borrowed an ox cart from Doctor Zhao and the village chief respectively. They loaded a few wild boars and blind bears and crossed the entire Xiaoyao Village, heading towards Jing'an Town.
