Along the way, Shi Yao Qian and Mrs. Shi took turns carrying Shi Jiang towards Jingzhou.
Sometimes, Shi Jiang could sit on the cart pulled by the carriage that escorted the officials.
Finally, half a month later, we arrived in Jingzhou.
The leader who escorted them went to see Shi Yao Qian in private and bowed his hand to him.
"Master Shi, I can only help you here. This area on the border of Jingzhou has only experienced a grass clearing a few years ago, and now it is a time when everything is waiting to be done. Presumably, with Master Shi's ability, I will be able to help in this area."
It’s a good mix here.”
"Master Liu is too polite. I have already been deprived of my official status by the Holy Master, so I am still an adult. However, I will keep my feelings for Master Liu in my heart."
At that time, Yao Qian knew that Liu Yifeng only formed a good relationship with him because His Highness, King Qin, was under house arrest by the Holy Emperor and had no further actions.
However, no matter what Liu Yifeng's intentions were, he turned a blind eye along the way, and he had received this love.
However, after this incident, his thoughts on officialdom have long since faded away.
Whether he can return to the capital is still unknown.
When Liu Yifeng saw Yao Qian saying this, he left with satisfaction.
He is not a good person, so there is no reason to do good deeds without leaving a name.
The people of the Shi family were different from the prisoners who were sent to the border to farm. They were taken over by the magistrate of An County under Jingzhou Prefecture.
Just like the Shi family, Wu Tongpan and his family were also deprived of their official status and rushed here.
The Wu family is different from the Shi family. After the Wu family's direct lineage was found guilty of corruption in Jiangnan, they, as side branches, were naturally implicated.
And they have never received favors from the direct branch, so the Holy One will deal with it as appropriate. However, it is an unreasonable disaster for the Wu family.
The Wu family has a large population, ranging from old to young, and there are more than a dozen people in the family.
Nothing like the Shi family, a simple family of three.
The magistrate of An County found a house for the family in a small village below An County. It was more than enough for Shi's family of three.
But with so many people in the Wu family, how can they live in only a few houses?
So, at that time, the three members of the family had already tidied up the room and lay down to sleep, while the Wu family next door was still noisy.
When Shi Jiang got up the next day, Shi Yao Qian just walked in from outside the door, breathing heavily.
"Jiang'er, are you up? Let's see what delicious food Dad brings back for you!"
When Shi Yao Qian saw Shi Jiang coming out of the house, he immediately took a few steps forward and took out an oil paper bag from his arms.
I saw two slightly yellow steamed buns placed in the oil paper bag.
Shi Yaoqian stuffed the oil-paper bag into Shi Jiang's hand, and Shi Jiang could still feel the warmth radiating from inside, with a faint scent of wheat floating out from the opened oil-paper bag.
Mrs. Shi was finishing up the kitchen and saw her husband coaxing her daughter to eat steamed buns with a smile.
"How's it going over there? Yesterday I saw it was still noisy in the middle of the night."
When Yao Qian glanced at his daughter, he saw that she was eating steamed buns with her head down, and then he said to his wife.
"What else can I do? I called Li Zheng early in the morning to come over and divide the house."
"Ah, is this divided? Is this all divided, or is it?"
When Mrs. Shi heard what her husband said, she was immediately surprised.
After all, Wu Tongpan had a total of three sons and two daughters, of whom only one son and one daughter were legitimate children, while the other two sons and one daughter were all born from concubines.
If there is no separation, then if the Wu family settles down in An County, as long as they are united, most people will not dare to provoke their family.
But if the family is separated now, it would be equivalent to breaking up everyone.
It will only do harm to the Wu family, but no good!
How could Yao Qian not understand the reason for his wife's surprise? He shook his head and said.
"It's just a bowl of water that is not balanced. Some people in the Wu family are still holding their bodies high. If it were before, they could still hold it down. Now, people's hearts are broken, but they don't want others to take advantage of them!
Don't worry about them, I went to find Li Zheng in the morning. There are not many wealthy families in this village and there is no extra food. It seems that we have to wait until we go to An County to buy some food and come back."
Shi Jiang, who was eating the steamed bun honestly on the side, moved his ears and stuffed the steamed bun in the oil paper bag into Mrs. Shi's hand.
"Mom, I can't eat any more. You can eat it! I also want to go to the county with my father later, okay?"
This morning, my father went out to get food. The two steamed buns in the oil paper bag in his hand were probably obtained by him with great difficulty.
Not to mention that Shi's mother had been cleaning the kitchen all morning, and just like Shi Jiang, she hadn't eaten anything at all.
However, Shi Jiang knew that if she didn't take a few bites of the steamed buns that Shi's father thrust into her hand first, Shi's mother would feel sorry for her daughter for not having breakfast and would definitely not be willing to eat it herself.
However, now that she has eaten it, even if she says she can’t eat it, Shi Mu will definitely not waste the food.
Sure enough, after hearing what Shi Jiang said, Shi's mother reached out and took the bun that Shi Jiang handed her.
Then he went to the kitchen and scooped out two bowls of water, giving them to Shi's father and Shi Jiang to drink respectively.
"Don't tell me about your body, ask your father."
Shi's mother mentioned Shi Jiang's request to Shi's father, leaving him with a headache.
This daughter, Yao Qian, the father, has doted on her since she was a child, and he, the mother, has doted on her, and there is nothing she can do about it.
If she even showed the slightest hint of wanting to punish this little ancestor, Yao Qian would be the first to jump out and stop him from punishing him.
My master dotes on his children so much. Fortunately, Jiang Er has been smart and sensible since she was a child and was not spoiled by his master.
Just one thing, Jiang Er's body is fashionable and frail in the house.
Now that she's in the country, even if she doesn't have to work in the fields, there are no maids at home, so she has to learn to do some light work by herself.
Otherwise, if you wait two years and you can talk to your husband's family, you won't be able to marry her, and you won't be able to do anything!
Shi Mu is truly a loving mother, and she can be said to have broken her heart for her daughter.
However, Shi's father felt that his daughter was only thirteen years old now, which was still too young!
The matter of getting married was still very early for him, and there was no need to prepare for marriage so early.
Shi's mother was so angry that she pinched Shi's father's waist at night.
When Shi Jiang heard his mother say this, he immediately turned around and grabbed Shi's father's arm, then shook his hand and said coquettishly.
"Dad, just take me there! I had a good night's sleep last night and my body feels very refreshed. I promise that nothing will happen to me."
Shi's father was completely unable to withstand his daughter's coquettish attack. He was defeated and could only reluctantly nod in agreement.
However, originally he wanted to walk to the county seat of An County, but now that his daughter is following him, he must go to Li Zheng and spend some money to take the village's ox cart to the county.
