Chapter 982 The Daughter That Was Left Behind (13)
One year flies by in a hurry!
Soon it was time for the Shi family to follow Magistrate Niu to the capital. However, Huiniang's original plan was to take the second child Shi Xu and daughter Shi Jiang to the capital.
Shi Sui, the eldest son, stayed here to guard the family business, and most importantly, to accompany Min Cui'er, who was already pregnant.
The youngest son, Shi Zheng, studied medicine with Dr. Cao and taught those who came here to learn how to operate on piglets.
During this year, Shi Jiang was kept in the yard by Hui Niang because she helped Shi Zheng, and she was asked to learn embroidery.
Of course, the result was that the flower was not embroidered on the cloth, but the embroidery needle in that hand could make hundreds of holes in the sword held by others.
However, only Shi Xinhai and Shi Xu knew about this matter.
If Hui Niang knew about it, she would inevitably talk about it again.
Shi Jiang stretched his head out of the carriage and waved vigorously at Shi Sui and the others, who were getting smaller and smaller behind him, until they could no longer be seen, then he retracted his head sadly and sat back in the carriage.
"Hey, I really envy my eldest brother and Shi Zheng."
Shi Jiang sighed and said quietly.
"Just put your thoughts of going out into the world of martial arts into your mind, and then go on to do your embroidery!"
Hui Niang, who was originally just like Shi Jiang, was also full of sadness about parting. She immediately cheered up and said to her daughter.
When Shi Jiang heard his mother say this, he couldn't help but wailed, which made Shi Xinhai and his son in the car in front couldn't help but smile.
"It's better that your sister can find a way, otherwise, your mother will be thinking about your elder brother and younger brother all the way, and she won't feel at ease."
Hearing his father's words, Shi Xu pursed his lips and smiled.
Because they were on the road with Magistrate Niu, they followed the carriage of Magistrate Niu’s family.
After so many years as Magistrate Niu, although he is not greedy, he still has a lot of filial piety from his family and other wealthy families in the county.
Therefore, the boxes on the carriage were filled with good things. When the carriage passed by on the road, it could make two deep car marks in the mud.
Shi Jiang secretly climbed from the carriage with Huiniang to the carriage of Shi Xinhai and his son. Looking at the car marks on the dirt road, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Dad, it seems that Magistrate Niu has made a lot of money over the years! But, if he travels like this, isn't he afraid that thieves will target him along the way?"
Although the world is now settled, in poor and remote places, there will inevitably be thieves who rob homes and homes along the way.
Shi Xinhai glanced at his daughter sideways, and then said calmly.
"Otherwise, why do you think Magistrate Niu must take our family to the capital?"
When Shi Jiang heard his father's words, he choked.
I recalled that Magistrate Niu was as fat as a rubber ball and his eyes were narrowed to a slit. I usually saw myself smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, but I didn't expect that my eyes were like a sieve.
"Don't look at Magistrate Niu's appearance now. If he can pass the imperial examination among so many people, he is not a fool. Magistrate Niu was sent here because he was unsuccessful in the capital. Now, although
He has made some achievements, but
After we went to the capital, the Niu family was considered a big family, so it would not be his decision. He asked us to go to the capital together. Although he meant to protect his family along the way, he also said that he would give it to me when we got to the capital.
Make other arrangements. But if we really get to the capital, I'm afraid
It's a bit uncertain. So, we have to make two preparations. Your second brother will still read his sage books anyway and wait for the imperial examination. You and your mother will first try to find a way to buy a house that suits your needs so that we can settle down. As for
I'll wait and see.
What are the arrangements for Magistrate Niu? If I don’t like it, I will just take off my clothes and stop doing it. However, in this way, I am afraid I will offend Magistrate Niu. This is why I will agree with you.
The reason why eldest brother and Zheng'er stayed."
After all, the second child, Shixu, has to take the imperial examination. If Baoqi gets admitted to the Jinshi one day, he may become an official in the same court as Niu County Magistrate.
Although Shi Xinhai had a fairly good understanding of Magistrate Niu's temperament, after all, he didn't know what the Niu clan thought in the capital.
Just in case, it's better than doing nothing.
He never thought of hiding what Shi Xinhai wanted to do from his children.
Needless to say, the second eldest son, Shi Xu, has been smart since he was a child. When he left the eldest son and Zheng'er behind, he came to talk to Shi Xinhai.
As for daughter Shi Jiang, other people in the family don't know her abilities, but Shi Xinhai knows them very well.
Even if all the guards brought by Magistrate Niu were added together, they would not be as powerful as one of Shi Jiang's hands.
With her here, it was enough for this team to reach the capital safely.
Therefore, he naturally made his plans clear and clear to Shi Jiang.
Huiniang, on the other hand, was afraid that she would be too worried, so Shi Xinhai didn't say much to her.
Sure enough, on the way to the capital, because of Shi Jiang's presence, some Xiaoxiao were beaten unconscious by Shi Jiang before they got close, then tied up and packed up and sent to the county government along the road. Shi Jiang also received a lot of money.
of reward.
Because sometimes Jiang secretly cleans out those thieves, Magistrate Niu watched with fear all the way to the south gate of the capital. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and called Shi Xinhai to ask, saying that he did not expect that the journey would go so smoothly.
Arriving at the capital was beyond his expectation.
"Adults and good people have their own destiny."
What else could Shi Xinhai say, he could only reply with cupped fists.
This flattery, neither light nor heavy, made Magistrate Niu feel comfortable and laugh out loud.
After entering the capital, they arrived outside a house. Magistrate Niu pointed out the place where Jiang and his family of four would go during the arrangements.
However, the capital city is not easy to come by. Even though Magistrate Niu has a rich family, he only lives in a two-story house.
Magistrate Niu had many wives, concubines, and children, but Shi Jiang and his family of four had no choice but to be arranged to live in a reverse room by their servants.
The place where the house is located is very narrow, with the sun behind it, and the capital is quite cold. Autumn has just begun, and the cold in the room makes people uncomfortable.
"Hey, please Hui Niang and Jiang Er, please go find a place to live tomorrow, it's better than living under someone else's roof. I'm a rough old man, I don't care, I'm afraid that my second brother can't read well, and you two, I'm afraid I can't stand it either!
"
Shi Xinhai felt that his wife and daughter were used to living in a large house in the county town, and it was very uncomfortable to be suddenly arranged to live in such a small reverse house.
And the second child, he came to the capital this time to take the imperial examination.
In a place like this, I don't know how to eat, and I definitely won't sleep well. How can the second child study peacefully?
"Don't worry, Dad, we brought a lot of money with us this time."
Shi Jiang patted his pocket. It was full of Juhuitong banknotes, which could be collected at any Juhuitong bank across the country.
