Chapter 220 Why bother with money
Autumn.
It was drizzling.
Every autumn rain brings a chill.
The yellow leaves on the streets of Jiangzhou are not all yellow.
There is also a hint of green.
But on the ground were yellow leaves beaten down by the rain, and they fell to the ground with a slight breeze.
Autumn in Jiangzhou always comes later than in other places.
Starting from Jiangzhou, taking a boat, heading north along the official road, it would be snowing heavily when you reach the capital.
Fortunately, the further north you go, the easier the road becomes and the wider the official road becomes.
It's not a big deal.
Many people have left Jiangzhou in recent days.
The axle marks on the road were much deeper.
early morning.
The weather is slightly cool.
The temperature difference in Jiangzhou is quite large, especially when it rains.
It gets a bit cold in the morning and evening.
The doorman of Jiang Miaomiao's house got up early, put on the new coats that the mansion had bought for them, and was about to show off to the people next door.
It turned out that the door opposite was closed.
No one came in or out to clean, and no one was seen coming in or out for a long time.
Is this really gone?
He quickly reported it to Madam Xiuxiu, who rewarded him with a few copper coins.
But it's inevitable that there is some sadness.
Autumn is a season that can easily make people sad.
He was used to showing off in front of others for fun, but now he always felt empty.
But I was also happy for the boy next door, as he finally got rid of the mother and daughter below him.
Although they are all slaves, they have no choice.
But it is so important to meet a good host, and you must cherish it.
Thinking of this, he became more energetic and worked harder.
Jiang Miaomiao slept in a little before getting up.
It’s comfortable to sleep on a rainy day. I’m too lazy to get up.
As usual, she threw back the covers and sat up.
Getting ready to stare blankly...
Hiss, cold!
Shivered.
Then a small woolen cloak was put on my body, which made me feel warm.
Xier helped her dress and wash, then carried her to the dining room.
I become lazy on rainy days and don’t want to walk.
"Miss, the lady and the brothers have not gone out today. They are waiting for you to have breakfast." Xier said with a smile.
"Didn't my second brother go to school?" Jiang Miaomiao was a little curious.
The eldest brother was determined to join the army. He practiced sword skills diligently every day and was determined to defeat Dali.
Although we won a few times occasionally, we didn’t win every time, and we still had to consolidate our efforts.
The eldest brother told Mr. Cui about his ambitions, and Mr. Cui was not surprised, as if he had been training him in this direction.
He also gave him many books on military strategy and tactics.
So my eldest brother is the happiest these days.
This is what a good teacher does. He will discover the potential of his students and teach them according to their aptitude.
As for my second brother, the road to imperial examination is long. The academy examination is just the beginning. He still has a long way to go.
However, today is not his day off, yet he still took a rest.
Usually, either he has something to do, or the husband has something to do...
Xier replied, "Princess Liang and the Princess will be leaving for the capital tomorrow. I wanted to spend some quality time with Mr. Cui and the old lady today, so I asked Brother Yan to come back."
"What about Sister Qiao'er? Did she go back to Qingshi Town to discuss marriage?" I haven't seen Sister Qiao'er since the Chrysanthemum Banquet.
When her sister returned, she was still asleep and didn't say goodbye to her.
"You are such a smart girl. You will have a brother-in-law soon." Xier was very happy because she could have a feast again.
The meal was hosted by Miss Jiang, which was a great occasion.
Jiang Miaomiao was also very happy, she also liked the banquet.
But looking at today's breakfast, rice porridge, steamed buns, wontons...
It doesn't look like it was made by Aunt Xiuxiu, it must have been bought outside.
Because the buns you buy outside have less filling and more flour, the rice porridge is pure rice porridge, without any chicken mince.
The wontons were a little smaller than the ones my aunt made because I couldn’t put enough effort into the filling.
It doesn’t taste as good as the one made by Aunt Xiuxiu.
Everyone lost their appetite.
Aunt Jiang Yue finished her meal, and Aunt Qianxue drank some porridge.
Even my eldest brother didn't eat as much as usual.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that life at home was indeed better. She thought back to the past when her mother would always finish the noodles in the bowl.
Now he's become picky.
Then I heard my mother explain: Your aunt is busy running the bakery and may not be able to cook for us for a while. You just have to make do with what you have for now. I will try to get a cook from Yipinju.
Then I heard my aunt ask my aunt: King Jing invited us to return to the capital together, do you want to go back?
Everyone's eyes turned to Mu Qianxue.
She nodded and said, "Let's go back. Sister, are you missing your child?"
"Of course..." After being out for these days, Mu Jiangyue naturally missed her son, although she also couldn't bear to leave her good sisters and little Miaomiao.
However, mountains and rivers will always meet, and there will always be a day when we meet again.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that her aunt did it on purpose, deliberately letting her aunt go back with King Jing to cultivate their relationship.
Forget it, it’s going to rain and my mother is going to get married, and no one can stop her.
After observing Prince Jing for these days, I found that he was not the Prince Xiaoyao as rumored.
He is very dedicated and has helped with several major projects.
After the incident of Qi Shangshu's favoritism and corruption came to light, Fang Xuezheng was the first to turn against him.
He handed over all the evidence he had collected to King Jing and took the opportunity to join him.
So King Jing had something important to do when he returned this time.
Aunt Qianxue is not that naive.
As long as Jiang Zijin doesn't interfere, the two of them should be happy.
Fate is a terrifying thing that cannot be caught or escaped.
The current King Jing is completely different from the one in the dream.
The character of King Jing in the dream can only be described as cold and indifferent.
It seems that he has been missing for quite some time. I guess he has experienced the ups and downs of life and endured inhuman treatment before he survived.
In the end, he was rescued by his secret guards, but it took a little longer.
After all, few normal people would think of such a heinous act as turning a person into a blind bear.
Sure enough, after encountering major changes, most people's temperament will still be affected.
Mu Jiangyue asked her friend, "Yaoyao, I heard the servants say that the family next door left Jiangzhou before dawn. Is that true?"
"Let's go. It's time to take back the house..." Seeing that her daughter had no appetite, Lu Qingyao directly brought the porridge and fed her personally.
Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by and should not be wasted.
Just as Mu Jiangyue was wondering what her good sister meant, Xiuxiu came back.
She drank a cup of tea before speaking, "Sister, we've got the house back. I think it's in great condition and doesn't need much repairs. Should we sell it or keep it?"
"Keep it for now."
Mu Jiangyue's eyes widened. "What do you mean, did you buy that house?"
"I bought it. I asked someone to buy it for 400 strings of cash." Lu Qingyao laughed.
Although the house was not big, it was in a good location. Qi Caiwei bought it for eight hundred strings of cash and renovated it. But because she was in a hurry to go back and needed cash urgently, she sold it at a low price.
It just happened that she got a great bargain.
"But that's where Qi Caiwei lived. It's very unlucky." Mu Jiangyue still felt uncomfortable.
She is such a generous sister.
Lu Qingyao didn't think so. She smiled and said, "What's the big deal? The house has never been haunted or had anyone die there. Even if I sell it, I can still make a few hundred taels."
It would be a waste not to make this money.
Why bother with money?
