MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 6
At this time, the shopkeeper had finished making tea and brought out the tea.
Immediately, a fragrant tea fragrance wafted out.
It is a top-quality sparrow tongue, but it is a pity that the store did not cook it correctly, which spoiled the fragrance of the tea. Jiang Yunzhu also tasted it in Anping Hou Mansion in her dream, so when she smelled the tea fragrance, she immediately made a judgment.
Yang Sheng also frowned, but now that he was extremely thirsty, he couldn't pay that much attention.
He took the teapot and brought it in front of Shen Fengming, poured him a bowl first, then poured himself a bowl, and started to drink without caring about the heat.
Looking at him, it seems that he really just had a casual conversation with Jiang Yunzhu and the others just now, and he didn't want to do anything to them.
As if being pardoned, Jiang Yunzhu said to Jiang Cheng, "Father, it's time for us to hurry."
Jiang Cheng immediately got up and went to settle accounts with the boss. The buns and side dishes were invited by Yang Sheng, but they had to pay for the tea and water themselves.
The shop owner suggested that he wanted to buy Jiang Yunzhu's water purification method.
Jiang Cheng called Jiang Yunzhu over again and asked her opinion.
Of course Jiang Yunzhu was willing to do this. Ordinary people don't have the guts to use it. The rich and the rich can't afford it, so the shop owner is willing to buy it. This is a rare opportunity.
The shop owner refused to pay more. First, he thought the method was quite simple, but he didn't see it clearly just now, so he bought it from Jiang Yunzhu on purpose. Second, it was too expensive and he didn't need it. Anyway, the people who come to his shop are ordinary people, and the next time they meet Yang Sheng and the others, they don't know when they will have to wait.
After some conversation, the shop owner finally used three cages of steamed stuffed buns, added two buckets of water, and saved Jiang Yunzhu's tea money to buy a way to purify the water.
Just like this, Jiang Cheng and the others felt that they had won for nothing, and they were extremely happy.
Well, Jiang Yunzhu also frowned, at least there are meat buns to eat tonight.
After they left, Yang Sheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu's back and sighed, "It's a pity."
Shen Fengming looked up at him.
Yang Sheng laughed, "As the saying goes, a clever woman often sleeps with a clumsy husband. This girl comes from a humble family background. It's not a pity that I don't know which clumsy husband she will marry in the future!" He is also his friend, so he is one of the few people who dare to talk to Shen Fengming like this.
Shen Fengming didn't want to talk to him.
But Yang Sheng suddenly said, "How about I take her with me?"
Yang Sheng is a man of tenderness and tenderness, and there are countless beauties in his mansion.
"It's important!" Shen Fengming said.
Yang Sheng put away his smile, but still complained, "That's how you are, you don't give a **** about girls. Do you know that my old lady will suspect that you don't like women and have something wrong with me."
"Really?" Shen Fengming's voice was as cold as icicles under the eaves in winter.
Yang Sheng quickly shook his head and got down to business.
Leaving the steamed stuffed bun shop, Jiang Yunzhu kept urging everyone to hurry, and she didn't calm down until she couldn't even see the shadow of the shop.
"Who were those people just now? What we said didn't have any effect, right?" Now, after thinking about it, Father Xu felt that he had talked to Yang Sheng a little too much.
Of course it will affect the officials of Changfeng Mansion, Jiang Yunzhu thought. But there is nothing to say, those officials, if they are innocent, naturally they are not afraid of Shen Fengming, otherwise they disregard the lives of the common people, even if they are killed by Shen Fengming, they should be killed.
"It should be fine, but let's go to Luzhou quickly." Jiang Yunzhu comforted Father Xu without forgetting to urge him.
There might be an accident in Changfeng Mansion, they had better leave early.
Ten days later, in front of the Yamen of the Changfeng Mansion, dozens of human heads rolled to the ground, blood splattered everywhere.
Shen Fengming stood on the pool of blood, dressed in black clothes, his handsome face was spattered with some blood, like Shura in the abattoir.
Everyone didn't dare to look up at him, and they only thought in their hearts that the reputation of "Shen Buliu" is really worthy.
Yang Sheng had a worried look on his face, he was worried about Shen Fengming. These officials in Changfeng Mansion are not good at disaster relief, and they are full of private pockets, so they should be killed.
However, it is also possible not to kill.
However, Shen Fengming was all killed, leaving no leeway.
But they don't know that steel is very easy to break, everyone is afraid of you, and the next step is that everyone expects you to die!
Throughout the history books, such people generally do not end well. If it really gets to that point, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to keep him.
Yang Sheng really wanted to persuade his friend, but he also knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he was really worried.
At this time, Jiang Yunzhu and the others finally left the boundary of Changfeng Mansion and arrived in Luzhou.
In Luzhou, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly felt a little emotional, Anpinghou's Mansion is in Luzhou, she was in Luzhou in her dream, Jiang Cheng and the others fled to Luzhou, but they haven't seen each other for several years. Now, she has come to Luzhou again, thinking that Jiang Yunxiu should be there too, so it can be seen that they have a predestined relationship with this Luzhou.
After more than half a month of running around, the fifty catties of sorghum pancakes prepared by Mrs. Chen and others had already been eaten, and everyone was dusty and disheveled.
The people's livelihood in Luzhou is obviously much better than that in Changfeng Mansion. The price of food is stable and the water source is plentiful. Finally, people don't need to buy water to drink, saving a lot of money.
They continued to move forward, and on the third day, it suddenly rained lightly, like oil.
It had been almost two years since he had seen rain. Jiang Cheng wiped the raindrops off his face with his hands, feeling extremely excited. It seemed that their decision to come to Luzhou was correct.
"I've inquired about it, and I'll be in Wuling County in five days." Xu Qingshan trotted back and said to everyone.
Five days later, another piece of good news, everyone seemed to have strength again.
In Wuling County, a large stretch of green hills can be seen from a distance, stretching from sky to sun, seemingly without end, that is Wuling Mountain.
The people here are extremely rich. After inquiring, they found out that there are iron mines in Wuling Mountain.
In the early years, when the nearby villagers went up the mountain, they often picked up some black stones, and merchants bought them when they brought them home. At first they didn't know what they were, but later the government sent people to them, and they realized that they were iron ore.
The Xia Dynasty had strict control over salt and iron. Soon, a large number of troops entered the mountains to mine and smelt iron.
These projects require manpower, so more than half of the people in Wuling County work in the mountains. The wages paid by the government are not low, and the people in Wuling County live well.
Jiang Cheng was tempted when he heard it. Now they have no land, no real estate, and less than two taels of silver left in their hands. How can such a big family live on? If they could go to the mountains to work, they would be paid 20 Wen a day and six denarii a month. In a few years, they would be able to own their own houses and fields.
Xu Qingshan was also very moved when he heard that, six renminbi a month is really high enough.
"Of course it's high. Not everyone can do that job. You have to have strength." The old man who was talking looked up and down Jiang Cheng and Xu Qingshan. They are both very strong and strong, so they should be okay.
"Also, there are frequent accidents in that mountain. Hey!" The old man sighed. Wuling County is really a mine, and a mine is also a mine. In that stretch of mine, I don't know how many young and strong people in Wuling County are buried.
Jiang Cheng can't control so much now, he just wants to make money so that his wife and children will have enough to eat and drink, and if he doesn't go to the mountains, he might starve and suffer from cold when he goes to other places.
With the bottom line in his mind, he decided to stay in Wuling County for the time being and not go south.
Father Xu was naturally happy when he heard that, he had shared weal and woe with the Jiang family for so many days, and he knew their temperament, so he was reluctant to part with them.
Everyone decided to go to Changshi Village to have a look before making plans.
Changshi Village is not far from Wuling Mountain. There is a small river flowing through the village, and the water is clear. Many families in the village have built new houses, green brick and tile houses, and it is dusk, when the smoke is rising, it is a thriving scene.
Xu Qingshan inquired with a passing villager, and found out the address of his distant cousin Gu Yongde.
It is the largest and best built house in the village.
Looking at the magnificent house, Father Xu and Xu Qingshan were both confused, they hadn't contacted for a few years, and they suddenly came to the door, who knows what they will think. Besides, they are so rich, yet they are so poor...
Before they could knock on the door, a young man walked out of the yard.
The young man was dressed in a green cloth robe, his hair was **** high, he looked handsome, he was full of bookishness, noble and elegant, really like the noble son of a rich family.
"Who are you?" The young man's voice was polite and nice.
Father Xu declared his family name.
"Cousin and cousin are here, please come in quickly." The young man said enthusiastically, and then shouted into the courtyard, "Father, mother, cousin and cousin are here!"
With just this one sentence, the tears of Father Xu and Xu Qingshan almost fell, they both said good words that three winters are warm, and evil words hurt people in June, it is true.
There was movement inside, and after a while, a middle-aged couple came out from the inside, saw Father Xu, both of them were very kind, welcomed them into the courtyard, and asked them how they were doing in the past few years.
Father Xu said yes in several voices, he was about to enter the door, and suddenly remembered Jiang Cheng's family, they haven't been found yet!
Looking outside, he saw that the place where Jiang Cheng and the others were standing just now was empty.
It turned out that Jiang Cheng was relieved when he saw that Xu and his father had found their relatives, and the relatives were very enthusiastic. He didn't want to bother Father Xu to beg for help for them, so he took Mrs. Chen and the others and left silently.
Father Xu secretly gave thumbs up, the Jiang family is really the best.
Suddenly he saw Xu Qingshan's distraught look, he knew it, he knew that he fell in love with that girl from the Jiang family, he also liked that girl, if he could marry her, it would be great.
Since the Jiang family decided to stay here, there is no rush.
Jiang Cheng led Mrs. Chen and others across a street, and saw an old woman picking beans at the door. The old woman had a gentle face, so Mrs. Chen went over to ask if there was anyone in the village who could rent a house.
The people of the Chen family are gentle in appearance and good in speech. The old woman heard that they escaped here, and seeing them old and young, all of them sallow and emaciated, she felt pity for them.
"My house has a yard at the head of the village, where we used to live. Later we built this new house, and it was vacant there. If you want to rent it, you can rent it to you."
Mrs. Chen was overjoyed when she heard the words, "Thank you, Auntie."
But the old woman said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, the house is rented to you, and the money is easy to discuss, but you are not local, if you want to rent a house to stay here, you need the village chief's consent, and then go to the government to report it." Row."
This is hard to scare people, the village chief, why should he promise you a stranger to stay in the village, and go to the government to guarantee you.
Chen raised his heart again, "Dare to ask the village chief?"
The old woman pointed to the best house in the village, "That's right there. The village chief's surname is Gu, and his name is Gu Yongde."
