Chapter 87
Enemies meet on a narrow road
Jiang Yan looked at the luxurious carriage, and then at the shabby thatched house, which looked like a top-notch luxury car parked in a rural mountain village. She was so cramped that it didn't match.
There were many people in the village following them, but they were not close, so Jiang Yan didn't care about them. The carriage was placed at the door, and the two fat sheep were raised in the chicken coop. When she saw the chicken coop, Jiang Yan remembered that she had forgotten to buy a small one.
I can only buy chickens when I go to town tomorrow.
At noon, she deliberately left Lao Wu and the others to have dinner at home. She originally planned to call Zhang Yanzi and Xiao Xiaozi, but Lin Yousheng repeatedly rejected her decision. Everyone was very full at the restaurant and couldn't eat anymore.
Jiang Yan had no choice but to ask Liu Xiaomeng to take out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone she bought and took out two copies from it.
"Brother Wu, Brother Jun, I'm sorry to trouble you for the time being. I plan to tell the village chief directly about planting peppers in the village. If he informs me, you don't have to go door to door and wait for the village chief to finish the statistics.
I'm going to trouble you because of the number of people." She said and handed the things over.
"This is the paper, ink, pen, and inkstone I bought in the town. I think that from now on, Xiao Linzi, a little kid, will go to a private school with my mistress and the others in a carriage. This is my wish, and I hope you won't refuse."
"No... no! How is that possible? We can't have it! Xiao Jiang, what are you doing? Compared with what you helped us, what we did was just some small things. You put it away quickly and keep it for a few children. Xiao Bei and the others also
If they want to study, just leave it for them!"
"Yes! We don't want it, Aunt Jiang. Thank you for your kindness. We will help you with the pepper matter. It is also a big income for us. If it is troublesome, we should trouble you."
The three of them rejected Jiang Yan without thinking. They all knew how expensive pens, ink, paper and inkstones were. Those with children at home would dream of sending them to private schools, but the pens, ink, paper and inkstones were a big problem. They cost at least several taels of silver.
, how many people just give up here, but today they just took advantage of Aunt Jiang, so they can still get her things!
"Oh, don't worry. I'm not giving this to you. It's for Xiaozizi and Xiaolinzi. They're all the same. Lin Bei and the others also have them. Keeping them is useless. Besides, I have one more request.
No one in my family knows how to drive a carriage, so I have to ask Brother Wu to teach Dongzi and the others these days."
Jiang Yan did not forget to favor one thing over another, and said to Lin Yousheng: "I have to trouble Yousheng to help find someone to customize some more clay pots and barrels. Water tanks are also acceptable. The clay pots are the same as before. The previous one was a small one-pound package.
This time it will be longer, with five-pound and ten-pound sizes..."
There was a gentle smile on her face. She had bought all these things and they must take them back. These two families were simple and hardworking and sincerely cared for their children, so she was naturally willing to give it to them. If it were someone else, they would be able to take it back.
She would consider him a great person if he could scratch her even one point.
"Don't shirk it. If this continues, I won't dare to ask you for help next time. I am a widow with several children, and I will have many places to rely on you in the future. If you are so out of touch, I will be embarrassed to trouble you.
."
As soon as Jiang Yan said this, several grown men were immediately anxious. They couldn't stand Aunt Jiang's appearance the most, and for a while they couldn't even speak stupidly about her.
After pushing and shoving several times, the two families had no choice but to accept it. The main reason was that they really didn't know what was in the package. They only knew that anything with the word "reading" on it was not cheap. They didn't know how much the package actually cost.
I know that in the end, I couldn't resist Jiang Yan, so I had to keep it in my hand.
Xiao Linzi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly carefully pulled Jiang Yan. His dark eyes were filled with gratitude. He whispered to Jiang Yan, "Thank you, Auntie."
With a voice as soft and soft as a mosquito, Jiang Yan pinched his cute little face and said, "You're welcome, Xiao Linzi, please study hard!"
The little guy immediately blushed, hid behind Lin Jun, popped his head out, and carefully observed Jiang Yan.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this. Xiao Linzi, like Lin Jun, was introverted and sensitive, with fair skin. His face was as red as a small apple, making people want to kiss him.
Old Wu's cold face became much gentler. He looked at Jiang Yan gratefully: "In that case, we will go back first and come out later to discuss the pepper matter. Thank you Aunt Jiang today. If you have anything else to do in the future, just ask us.
It’s my family’s duty to do so.”
After saying that, he bowed and gave a fist-cup salute.
Jiang Yan immediately waved her hand towards him and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite? I will ask you for help with many things in the future. Don't be so polite all the time. I will be satisfied."
After exchanging pleasantries and seeing off a few people, Jiang Yan asked Wang Jinhua and the others to cook and eat. Looking at the backs of Lin Yousheng and the others, Jiang Yan's thoughts drifted away.
Since these two families are kind and she has the ability now, she naturally wants to help. If Xiao Linzi and Xiao Xiaozi have the talent for reading, she will lead the two families, at least so that they can provide for their two children to study.
In ancient times, raising a scholar cost as little as a little over ten taels a year, and as much as a few dozen taels.
Although pens, inks, paper and inkstones are expensive, if you buy them once and take good care of them, they will last a long time. Mainly, rice paper, books, and writing brushes must be replaced frequently. There are also a lot of repairs for your husband every year or every month.
The suit she bought was the cheapest, costing only five taels of silver, while the more expensive ones cost dozens or even hundreds of taels.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan secretly smacked her tongue. Looking at this group of gold-eating beasts, her desire to make money became even stronger.
In front of the two children, she took a package, dug out the books inside, and picked up a Thousand-Character Book. Although it was a handwritten copy, the calligraphy on it was very beautiful and regular.
The writing is flowing and flowing, vigorous and powerful. Although it is a bit greener, the writing style is very sharp, and it can be seen that it has been painstakingly used.
She turned over a few pages, appreciating them more and more. When she opened the first page again and was about to sign her child's name here, she saw the name written in small letters at the bottom, as well as a heartfelt speech to encourage the student.
Yes.Jiang Wen.
Gan!
It’s such a narrow road between enemies!
She had just made a big fuss with someone on the street, and turned around to praise him with his manuscript. She had a black line on her face and felt that this vicious relationship was particularly excessive.
"Mother... these characters are so beautiful. Although I don't recognize them, they are all the same size and very neat. I will write like this in the future." Lin Bei couldn't put it down and held the book of surnames in his hand, with the joy in his eyes.
Can't hide it either.
The corners of Jiang Yan's eyes twitched and she thought to herself, if you knew this was Jiang Wen's manuscript and the words written by Jiang Wen, I don't know if you little guy would still be able to laugh... Forget it, I will do this shit alone.
Forget it.
