Chapter 144: Entering the House
Zhao Da took the lead in rushing out of the fire, Sixi and Ge Hai followed closely behind, and soon Zhao Er and Zhao San followed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone rushed out for several miles in one go before they stopped at a tree on the side of the road and waited. Everyone was more or less colorful, but fortunately nothing was harmed.
Jiang Ju first escaped from the sea of fire tonight, and now he hasn't seen his sister and Xiaoxiang catch up for a long time, he lost his parents at a young age, for fear that he would lose his dear sister again, and he made trouble all the way to go back to the inn to save people.
At this time, as soon as he stopped the horse, he was clamoring to jump off the horse, Jiang Gan was appeased, and the green pothos was so anxious that he wiped his eyes with tears, and Xiaoxiang chased after him.
Everyone saw that she was alone, her clothes had been burned by the fire, but the soot on her face could not hide the sadness on her face, which surprised everyone.
"Why did you come out alone? What happened to my sister? Jiang Ju was shocked and angry, and asked first.
Xiao Xiang opened her mouth to make people feel relieved: "Little master, Miss let people save me." The next sentence made people even more anxious: "But I was injured and let people take it away." The man only urged me to go, and the situation was urgent, and I didn't even have time to see if she was seriously injured! ”
"How can you let someone take the girl!" The pothos was anxious and painful, and hated himself for not being able to protect his master.
Jiang Ju gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Xiang angrily.
Xiao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and then replied to the words of the green pothos, which turned out to be a reassuring tone: "That person is Xiao Yu Xiao Gongzi." The master should be fine in his hands.
Jiang Ju didn't know who Xiao Yu was, and he didn't know why this girl was reassuring of him. But Sixi followed Jiang Li to meet Xiao Yu a few times, and Ge Hai also met Xiao Yu. Even the green pothos also knows some things about Xiao Yu. So when Xiaoxiang said this, everyone put their minds at ease for the time being.
So everyone continued to hurry under the leadership of Ge Hai and went to Anyang County, which Jiang Li had agreed in advance.
Three days later, Jiang Li rushed to Anyang County in a horse-drawn carriage. In the car sat Xiao Yu, a huge driver in front of him.
Although Anyang is located in the north, the land is vast and sparsely populated, but it is quite a rich and prosperous state and county.
Ever since people planted trees and raised silkworms hundreds of years ago, Anyang County has been famous for producing silk. It is said that when silkworm farming was at its peak here, even many textile workshops in the south of the Yangtze River had to purchase raw silk from Anyang.
It's just that the traffic in Anyang County is not very convenient, and later textile workshops were opened everywhere in Songdi, and the raw silk produced in Anyang could only be supplied to local workshops, and Jiangnan customers gradually stopped coming.
Although the guests from the south did not come, the economy of Anyang County did not decline. A year just to supply the production of the workshops in the north requires more and more raw silk every year. Later, not only silkworms were raised here, but cotton and linen were also grown. Later, some textile workshops were opened, cotton, linen, silk, all kinds of cloth, including brocade, were produced in Anyang County. Gradually, the brocade of Anyang County became somewhat famous throughout the north.
Mei's ancestors were the first merchants to come to Anyang to sell raw silk. The Mei family had a production area here a hundred years ago. Jiang Li's mother was her grandfather's beloved daughter, and when her mother got married, her grandfather gave Jiang Li's mother several ancestral properties in Anyang County.
In addition to the fields and workshops, some of these industries have been abandoned.
Before the workshop had time to see it, Jiang Li had previously instructed Ge Hai to lead everyone to a grange.
The grange is in the countryside, and it was used to grow mulberry trees and raise silkworms at the earliest. It is said that there is still a place dedicated to raising silkworms in the village.
The chariots and horses arrived in Anyang County, and gradually left the city and went to the countryside. The green mountains are faint, the longitudinal and horizontal, turn a mountain col, hundreds of huge mulberry trees, the mulberry branches are luxuriant, and the green shade is like a cover.
The carriage went further along a path, and several thatched huts were exposed among the mulberry trees. Outside the house, all kinds of tree trunks and new branches are woven into a green fence wall. There is a small courtyard in front of the thatched hut, and there is a small well in the courtyard, and there is a wheel by the well.
The left side of the courtyard is divided into acres of acres, good vegetables and flowers, endless. The beautiful scenery in front of you is picturesque.
It was noon when Jiang Li arrived. Jiang Ju and his party have been staying for two days.
The population of Zhuangzi is simple, only one family of servants lives in the village to manage daily affairs, and the land is rented to nearby villagers, who collect rent according to the day.
A wooden building was built on the village for raising silkworms, and dozens of people were hired to raise silkworms during the prosperous season. Jiang Li didn't come to take care of it for a long time, and now it is almost abandoned, and only the servant's family has raised some silkworms in the building.
The green pothos is sitting under the green fence of the grange to study the pattern of a piece of brocade, Jin Ju is worried about the food and accommodation of the group, there are few people available for the village to call, almost all have to do it themselves, Jin Ju is busy in the village all day long, it is easy to see that she has time to sit.
Jiang Gan was guarding Jiang Ju in the courtyard to tell a story. The Zhao brothers and Ge Hai all went out to find Jiang and left, and the guards brought out by Zhuang Shang from Beijing were only Sixi.
If it weren't for the fear that something would happen to Jiang Ju, even Xiaoxiang would have to go out to find someone
As soon as the carriage stopped, Jiang Li got out of the car, although he still had bandages on his head, he looked very energetic.
The pothos shouted happily, "The girl is back!" "Hurry up and catch up.
Jiang Ju rushed out and just called out for his sister, when he saw Xiao Yu get out of the carriage.
Xiao Yu was dressed in a white robe and looked at Jiang Ju with a smile.
Jiang Ju raised his eyes and looked at him a few times, snorted coldly, and gave a cold face.
"Sister, who is this person?" Jiang Ju pulled Jiang Li into the courtyard. "Yes, friend." Jiang Li replied.
"I see he is smiling at you crookedly, you stay away from him!" Jiang Ju's tone of little adult.
Xiao Yu took Luo San and generously followed the two sisters and brothers into the courtyard, turning a deaf ear to Jiang Ju's words. It was Luo San who snorted coldly.
Xiao Yu entered the courtyard and looked around, drank the tea brought by Jin Ju and said to Jiang Li: "The environment here is good, I want to borrow it for a few days." You arrange it for me. "It's just a statement, and it doesn't mean to ask the owner's consent at all.
Jin Ju looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li remembered the words that Xiao Yu said on the way out.
He said that those people were all coming for him, and the Dayan people arrested her in Guazhou, probably because of his relationship. Keeping him is undoubtedly getting yourself in trouble.
Jin Ju waited for Jiang Li to speak, Jiang Li didn't want to agree, thinking that someone else had saved him, it was too ruthless. Besides, don't the people of the Seven Poisons Sect also say everywhere that they want to arrest themselves, they are all uprooted from their hometowns, and they have to prevent being chased and killed, and they are also fallen to the end of the world, so no one will be afraid that anyone will cause disaster and cause trouble!
Jiang Li figured it out and generously instructed Jin Ju to prepare a room for him. In this way, when Ge Hai came back with the senior Zhao brothers, there were two more unexpected people on the grange.
Xiao Yu can deal with anyone, only one meal, the Zhao family brothers and him have reached the level of intimacy of hooking shoulders and backs, not to mention Ge Hai, they have met in Yanziji before, at that time, the two of them looked at each other pleasing to the eye, and this time they met even closer.
Xiao Yu lived on the grange in this way.
Jiang Li originally just wanted to pass by Anyang to sort out the old accounts by the way, as well as the workshops that were opened in the hands of his grandfather in the old days, and see if they could continue to operate, and then put the workshops back into operation. It will take some time to do these things, and I am not in a hurry to live, but I have to live in Anyang County for a while.
Jiang Li's injury is not yet healed, during the day, Ge Hai went to Anyang County to collect account books and came back, and then reported the situation everywhere in detail, Jiang Li did not go out for a few days, but the general situation of several industries in Anyang has basically been scored.
Before I opened my eyes that day, I heard a burst of people outside the house, a man and a woman, who seemed to have an argument.
One said, "Let me in!" The man said.
A woman's annoyed voice seemed to be telling people to forgive: "I've said it many times, my girl is still asleep and hasn't woken up, my daughter's boudoir, I don't know anything anymore, why don't I let you in!" Don't embarrass me, I'll call you when my girl wakes up? ”
"I don't believe it!" The man raised his voice, "I haven't been out for a few days." The weather is good today, the sun is so high that she can't afford it, did she slip out again? ”
"No, no!" The girl was a pothos, and she hurriedly explained: "The girl has stayed up late to read the account book in the past two days, and she has slept late and got up later." Besides, it's just a little bit of dawn now, and the sun is only half showing its face, and it's 'so high' somewhere. "The girl doesn't let go of the door.
The man sighed, "What's your name?" ”
"Pothos." Helpless voice.
"Oh, pothos, you don't know me, if Xiaoxiang is there, she will let me in." The man said angrily.
"Xiaoxiang won't let you in." Pothos didn't believe it at all. Xiaoxiang grew up with her, no matter how she doesn't know anything, she still knows etiquette.
The man changed his tone: "Let me tell you this, pothos, you know that your girl lived with me for three days before coming back, but I have been waiting for her for the past three days." You say, what will be my relationship with her? Why can't I get into her bedroom? ”
"Huh?!" Pothos's voice choked, obviously shocked.
By the time the man had already entered the house.
Jiang Li listened to most of it in a daze, not shocked, and very angry! This person is really shameless, he kindly took him in to live in Zhuangzi, and treated him like a guest, and he is still not satisfied? This is all grandiose and broke into the bedroom, it is really a kick in the face!
What's even more infuriating is that he is still distorting the facts and deliberately ruining her reputation!
