Chapter 5 A New Way of Wealth

entrusted the matter of cleaning up the old house of the Chu family to Zheng Baocai, and Yue Xi left the Zheng family's small courtyard with the county magistrate with a blue nose and swollen face.

Looking at the shops that started to do business one after another on the side of the road, Yue Xi glanced at the signboards of those shops from time to time, and when she walked in front of a shop that bought clothes, she stopped the donkey cart, lost the reins in Ye Miancheng's hand, and walked into the shop quickly.

"Two sons!" Seeing that the guests came, the guy who was cleaning hurriedly put down the feather duster and greeted him.

Two sons? Yue Xi looked back, and the county magistrate who saw that the wolf was unbearable also followed.

"You're in, who's going to watch my donkey cart?" Yue Xi glared.

"Childe, don't worry, take a look in the house, the little one will call someone to show you the car!"

The man was very discerning, and ran to the back room as he spoke, and after a while he led a neatly dressed half-grown child out, and when he reached the door, he asked the child to sit on the steps and instructed: "Young shopkeeper, you can take care of other people's donkey carts, just sit here obediently, if you dare to run around, see that I don't beat you to death!" ”

Yue Xi picked up a few pieces of cloth in a simple and elegant color, and then picked a few monochrome and sturdy ones for the guy to wrap and send to the donkey cart.

Spring goes to summer, the weather is hot day by day, no one in the palace has a few changes of clothes, knowing that the days in the palace are difficult, inside and outside with her alone, no one will ask her to make additional requirements, but now these more than 20 people have become a family, who lacks what, what to buy, Yue Xi has a number in his heart.

After buying something and paying the silver, Yue Xi stepped out of the shop, and saw that the half-grown child who showed himself the donkey cart had walked in front of the donkey's treasure, and was feeding it very friendly.

Yue Xi shook his head: No wonder this donkey's temper doesn't kick people anymore, it turns out that he has a short mouth after eating other people's things......

"It's dirty, don't eat it yourself if you feed it." Walking over, Yue Xi pressed the hand that the child was holding the pancake and put it in her mouth, and she said with a pleasant face: "Eating like this will make my stomach hurt." ”

Before the half-grown child could speak, the guy in the shop carried a burden to send Ye Miancheng out, and then sent the two customers to the car, and the donkey cart slowly drove away, and the guy was still standing on the steps with a smile on his face.

It's just that the donkey cart didn't go far, Yue Xi heard a child crying behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the guy in the cloth shop had snatched the pancake in the child's hand and was busy stuffing it into his mouth......

"This bastard! How to bully a child! Ye Miancheng scolded when he saw it, and it seemed that he intended to go down and meddle in his affairs.

Yue Xi stopped him: "That cake is the leftover from my family's treasure......"

Out of the gate of the imperial capital, Ye Miancheng was like an arrow, he glanced at Yue Xi who was driving the car several times, and had the intention to snatch the stick in her hand to drive the donkey, and gave the donkey a few blows, so that this greedy thing could run quickly!

It's just that this kind of thought only made a few turns in Ye Xianling's mind, and he also thought about it, no matter what, he didn't dare to really turn it into action.

The master is still in the palace, and the mother can't be offended.

Boredom, he turned around and climbed into the middle of the flatbed truck and sat down, taking the baggage he had bought and looking at it the same.

"Why are you buying so many clothes? Why is it all black? Yue Xi glanced back at him and asked casually.

"They were all bought for my master." As for why they all bought black, the magistrate peeked at Yue Xi's tall and neat back, and didn't dare to speak.

When Ye Miancheng thought of Ye Qiu, his heart was sour.

From the original county to the imperial capital, thousands of miles away, the master accompanied him.

After a few years of being a former master and servant, and a husband and wife, Ye Miancheng didn't understand until after the master left: he couldn't do without him.

Thinking of his actions in the past, he felt sorry for Ye Qiu from his heart, and even thought about it a long time ago, seeing him this time, no matter whether Ye Qiu beat or scolded, he was up to him, as long as Ye Qiu was willing to follow him back and continue, let him do anything!

"A few days ago, I made a mistake, and a fire burned his salute, and the master didn't have to change except for the clothes he was wearing."

Folding the newly bought clothes clumsily, Ye Miancheng kept chattering: "Oh, this folding clothes is really troublesome, how to take them apart and they can't be folded back to the original shape......"

In the past, the two of them lived together, and everything was Ye Qiu Zhangluo. He is used to stretching out his hands to eat, but now he knows that he can't even fold a piece of clothing without his master!

Finally put the robe back into the baggage, Ye Miancheng let out a long sigh, moved his body and sat on the side of the wheel again, only then did he feel that there was no place in his body that did not hurt!

"The surname Zheng is not light or heavy, look at the one who beat me!" He poked his face in front of Yue Xi, Yue Xi only glanced at him, and stabbed him away with a stick that drove a donkey as usual: "Isn't the master scratching his neck?" ”

"I didn't say about the neck, mother, look at it again! Look at my ears, they're about to be pulled off! ”

As if he was afraid that Yue Xi would not be able to see clearly, he leaned closer with a shy face.

This time, Yue Xi didn't even look at it, but directly raised the donkey's stick at him.

"Niangniang, what are you looking at, you've been looking around all the way." Ye Miancheng's buttocks didn't move, but he just sat his upper body upright again, and looked around with Yue Xi's gaze: "Hey, why are there so many people......"

The donkey cart is not far away from the emperor, and there are many passers-by who carry burdens on the side of the official road. "Did you go to Qingyun County?" "Little brother, take us for a while......"

They are all stopping passing vehicles and preparing to catch a ride.

"As soon as spring begins, there are more pedestrians coming and going, and every time I enter the city, someone stops me, and the villages along the way are not

There are many villages on this road, so there will be fewer people stopping cars when you basically walk to the boundary of Cixian County. Yue Xi withdrew his gaze and waved at a young man waving to his donkey cart in decline.

Then she glanced at Ye Miancheng and asked softly, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

"Hey, hey! He doesn't look bad, and he is young. The county magistrate looked back at the young man again, and finally shook his head decisively: "The lower official has already sworn a poisonous oath, if he is doing something sorry for Ye Qiu, let God punish me for not doing anything in the future!" ”

"Gotta get it!" Yue Xi raised the stick that drove the donkey, and said disdainfully, "What is in your head?" Lao Tzu asked you what you think when you look at so many people coming and going on the road, where do you want to go? ”

"God will punish you for not doing anything in the future? Lang Lang Qingtian, let you say nothing nonsense! ”

"Huh?" Ye Miancheng touched his head embarrassedly, knowing that there was a wound on his head, so he just touched it gently: "I thought what Niangniang said was ...... Hey...... Hey hey ......"

Yue Xi glared at him, and only after a moment did he say, "Didn't you say that day that you wanted to resign and not do it?" ”

"Niangniang, I don't tell lies in front of real people, I donated this little seven-grade official just to make some silver as a coffin book."

"But it wasn't until I took office that I found out that I really couldn't be a corrupt official!"

"The people of Cixian County rely on Huagai Mountain, but they can't rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they can only rely on the little land at home to dig food in the soil."

Speaking of this, the county magistrate sighed: "Alas! If you don't say that you want to resign, just that little money, I can't buy a good dress for my master! ”

"You don't have to be a corrupt official to make money." Yue Xi waved her hand to a passer-by walking towards the donkey cart again, and she said lightly: "If you are really the kind of dog official in the township who can only fish and meat, I will be the first to look down on you." ”

"Huh!" Ye Miancheng really wanted Yue Xi to take a ride, so that the journey might not be so boring. After listening to Niangniang's words, Ye Miancheng smiled: "Or I'll say I'll find you to join the gang!" ”

"Into what? Lao Tzu's house is like a bandit's nest! Yue Xi glanced at him and swept the official road with a stick: "Did you see it?" There is silver everywhere waiting for us to sweep it. ”

"Huh?" Ye Miancheng looked around again, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Niangniang, if there is a way to make a fortune, you can say it clearly!" ”

"Xiaguan's brain is really stupid! You let me see this money-sweeping business all over the place, I saw it, only the servants came out to be a stuffy stick! There are so many people on the way, pick and look at the rich state and knock out a few well-dressed ......"

"There are so many pedestrians on the road who want to take a ride to the west. Most of these people lived in the villages we passed through on our way back. Haven't you ever thought that we put on a few horse-drawn carriages to do business on this official road, and only pull these people who live along the road to sweep money on the ground? ”

Yue Xi saw that the more he thought about it, the more crooked it became, so he simply interrupted him and said what he had been thinking about for a while.

Ye Miancheng stopped talking, he curled up one leg to support the car, and his hand was not idle, pulling down the seven long and eight short beard stubbles that came out of his chin one by one......

"Hiss......" Xu is pinching and pinching hurt, he took a breath of cold air and put down his hand: "Niangniang, your attention is really good!" But we don't have the capital! ”

The homes of ordinary people in Jokhang are not allowed to raise horses and use horses for leg power.

Therefore, Ye Miancheng directly replaced the animal pulling the cart with a mule that was both powerful and faster than a donkey.

That's it, to build a convoy that the queen said specifically to pick up and drop off the people on the official road between the east and the west, at least two mule carts are needed to go back and forth.

A mule cart is pulled by two mules, and then a carriage that can sit on people is a lot of silver!

Ye Miancheng only made a rough calculation, and he had more than 200 vehicles......

He snorted his teeth......

He has no money on him, and he feels that he has no heart!

knew that what Niangniang said was really a way to make money, but he didn't have the capital, so he could only watch.

"The cost of the matter aside, I only ask you one sentence: to do it or not to do it?" Joining forces with Ye Miancheng to do this business, Yue Xi planned to let him give him the money, since she said her plans, she actually already had some plans, and now she just wants to know if this county magistrate is willing to be her partner.

"it!" Ye Miancheng slapped his thigh, and then stalked his neck: "As long as you don't let me take the silver, it's done!" ”

"It's not that the lower officials are stingy, and you have a heart-to-heart, I have indeed given the master all the silver at the bottom of the box!"

"I know." Yue Xi nodded, and also curled up one leg to prop up on the cart, her eyes casually looked at the path on the side of the opposite road, which led to the Temple of Wealth. It's been a long time, and I don't know if the temple collapsed.

"When you arrive in Cixian today, you go back and clean up first......" The county magistrate has a blue nose, swollen face, unshaven beard, and dirty clothes, so it's really time to go back and tidy up.

"I'm going to follow you to the palace and find Ye Qiu!" Ye Miancheng suffered a few days of grievances, was beaten a few times by Ye Baocai, and saddled before and after the horse for Yue Xi to drive, with only one purpose: to follow the mother back to the palace and take the master home!

If the master still refuses to let go and forgive himself, Ye Miancheng has already thought of a countermeasure: he has decided to be shameless! also relied on not leaving in the palace, when did Ye Qiu change his sex, and when did the two of them leave together.

"The way you look right now is enough for fifteen people to see half a moon! Are you going to hook up with the master like this? Yue Xi was still very supportive of such an active and motivated county magistrate, but given that what he had done before was too much, Yue Xi still decided to help the master fight him first.

"How many years have I been friends with my master? What am I like he hasn't seen? I don't have what he looks like

I haven't seen anything like that? Ye Xianling didn't know how to shiver when he spoke, he really regarded Yue Xi as a man, so he forgot his scruples when he spoke.

"Besides...... Hey! Hey! Ye Miancheng suddenly smiled slyly: "I just want to go to see him like this, let him see my injury, let him see my thin body...... If the master is soft-hearted, I will have a chance! ”

This chicken thief thing!

Yue Xi cursed in his heart, simply closed his mouth and looked ahead and ignored him.

When I arrived at the boundary of Cixian County, the sky was already dark, and the donkey cart went directly to the winding mountain road, and when I returned to the palace, it was slightly earlier than the previous times.

After getting the news of Niangniang's return to the palace, the people in the palace had not rested, so they greeted them like a swarm.

Ye Qiu followed behind everyone and went up the steps without saying a word, and at a glance he saw the swaying black shadow standing beside Yue Xi, he turned around and went back to his house without saying a word!

Ye Miancheng found the person he was thinking about in a bunch of vague figures, and naturally he refused to let go, he stepped up the steps in three steps and two steps to chase the master......

"What's going on with these two guys?" Chu Yingzhi, who was hit by the county commander and almost fell, muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why did you get to us, there are still people so rough!" ”

"Leave them alone, hurry up and unload the things in the car, and I'll bring you good things!"

Every time he was surrounded by these unrelated people, Yue Xi would involuntarily resound his days in the orphanage......

It is also like this that some people who have never known each other get together, they are slowly getting acquainted, slowly growing up together, and people are constantly leaving and joining......

It was there that Yue Xi met Beibei.

is also the person who comes and goes, the appearance is just a dilapidated two-story building, but it is Yue Xi's home in the bottom of his heart......

The same is true of today's palace, their number of people is slowly increasing, but no one is willing to leave......

It seems that these people are like me now, and they regard this place as their home...... Yue Xi smiled, holding the joy hanging on his body, only to feel the warmth of his heart.

went up the steps, arrived at the front yard, turned his head and saw that the county magistrate was standing outside the house where Ye Qiu lived, patting them and talking bitterly, Yue Xi's eyes rolled, and he walked over quietly, standing outside and saying loudly: "Master, don't believe his nonsense!" The sage has long said that if a man is reliable, a pig can climb a tree! He's pretending to be pitiful......"

"I know......" Ye Qiu in the room desperately pressed against the two door panels, sobbing and choking: "He is a beast, he is not as good as a pig......"

Ye Miancheng was quite speechless by the questions and answers of these two.

It took him a long time to get the master not to scold him for being a beast, and now that he has entered the ranks of beasts again, Ye Miancheng smiled bitterly at Yue Xi: "Niangniang, you are ......?"

"Humph!" Yue Xi turned around and left with Xilai in his arms, and did not forget to tell Ye Qiu: "Master, don't let him into the house, it's cold at night on the mountain, and you can freeze him to death overnight!" ”
