He entered the east wing, and Min Chong took the medicine in his hand and went out. Qin Ziming said to Jiang Qingliu with admiration on his face: "The fourth master guessed really well, I found a few beggars in the streets and alleys of the city, gave them a few steamed buns, and asked if there was any family that had been changed in recent months and sold their houses and moved away, and I really asked some eyebrows." ”

Jiang Qingliu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what did you ask?" ”

"That is called Huazi said that in the Jiuqu Hutong in the west of the city, there is a tea merchant surnamed Wang, who went to sea to do business a year ago and capsized and was shipwrecked, and owed a large amount of money, and people came to collect debts, and his wife and children used the tea shop to arrive, and sold the house three months ago and moved away. I asked about the situation of the Wang family's wife and children again, and it was really similar to Miss Wang's family. Qin Ziming said, and sighed in his heart, a good home, the pillars are gone, and life is going to be sad.

Jiang Qingliu was silent when he heard this, this situation was similar to what he guessed, he asked Qin Ziming to investigate, but it was just a matter of habit, not a precaution. Although Wang Jin's archery skills made him wonder, everyone had a little secret, and he didn't take it to heart. He turned his head and asked, "Does her family have any other relatives?" ”

"I haven't heard of this, but I heard the beggar sigh that 'I can't even find the corpse capital, only a well-dressed grave was erected, and the funeral was all handled by the neighbors', and it is estimated that this family has no relatives in Yangzhou City."

Jiang Qingliu nodded and said: "In this case, we have received the grace of Miss Wang's life, if her family is in difficulty, we will take care of it and help." Go down and rest, and you don't have to wait here. ”

Qin Ziming went out of the house, took the washbasin and cloth towel from the side ear room, walked to the backyard, and saw that Min Chong had borrowed the stove and was decocting the medicine, so he drew water from the large tank next to the water storage, and muttered in his mouth: "Tsk, such a big tank of water, this family of women and children, you have to make a few trips." Min Chong listened to him and didn't want to talk to him more, so he said: "Little girl Wang left you food in the stove, and after eating other people's food, she hurried to fetch water for others." ”

Qin Ziming was not angry when he heard this, but said in surprise: "Miss Wang really gave birth to a bodhisattva's heart, I was in a hurry to come back, I ate two steamed buns in the city at noon, and I was hungry!" He stroked his face indiscriminately, poured the water, hurriedly ran to the stove, and saw that the food on the steaming rack in the pot was hot and hearty, and couldn't help but give Wang Jian a thumbs up in his heart, and said in his heart: "Such a sensible little girl, and there is no father, we have both received grace and eaten mouths, but we have to repay others well, this work of carrying water is really to be done." ”

He swept away the meal with the soup in two bites while standing, wiped his mouth after eating, and praised: "It tastes good!" ”

Min Chong looked like a hungry ghost reincarnated when he was eating, which was very funny, but he was always serious, and his face was not obvious, so he only pointed to the dishes and chopsticks and said: "After eating, wash the dishes quickly, just now Sister-in-law Wang led Miss Wang and Mu Xiaogongzi out of the house, don't wait for people to come back and clean up this mess for you." ”

"I know, I know, hey, there is no master in the family, and the little boy is still young, and the sister-in-law Wang has a few years to survive." Qin Ziming sighed again.

Min Chong couldn't help but feel angry when he heard it, the two chatted with each other for a while, and after the medicine was decoctioned, it was sent to the side room.

Jiang Qingliu finished drinking the medicine and was about to rest, but he unconsciously asked, "What is Miss Wang doing?" ”

Qin Ziming told them about going out, Jiang Qingliu frowned slightly, and instructed Qin Ziming: "We are not completely out of danger now, you quietly follow them, ensure their safety, and by the way, find out if there is anyone secretly watching nearby." ”

Qin Ziming went out in response.

The words are divided into two ends. Here, Chen took Wang Jian and Wang Mu to her family's grange. Now it is the season of spring ploughing, and her family has 100 acres of contiguous paddy fields and a sandy land of about 50 acres with a pond in Qingshui Village, which was purchased by the royal father when he was alive. The paddy fields have long been tenanted to the peasant households for planting, and in addition to the tax part every year, the remaining 30% belongs to the tenants, and the sandy land has little fertility, so the tenants planted peanuts and sweet potatoes, and there is still some grain left after paying half to the Wang family every year. Because the rent collected by the Wang family is considered low in these ten miles and eight townships, and they never deduct two catties, the people in the village have planted for several years, and the family conditions have improved somewhat, and few people are hungry, so they are very grateful to the Wang family.

This morning, when they were planting seeds in the field, they were surprised and apprehensive when they heard that the Lord had come to announce something. In the past, the Wang family only sent a steward to collect rent or something, although sometimes the lord of the Wang family would come to the countryside with his wife and children to live in the countryside, but he had never been so formal, and remembered that now the Wang family has suffered a change, and only the orphans and widows have moved to the village, so they can't help but worry that the rent of the field is going to rise.

Wang Jian and his younger brother and mother stood in the small shed in front of the grange, looking at the villagers who had gathered, and they couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts. Speaking of which, it was still her idea to buy land in the countryside. When she was a child, she thought that she had been in the city for a long time, and everyone was trapped in that small courtyard, so she pestered her father to go to the countryside to play and relax. When he came to Qingshui Village, Wang Jin fell in love with it. Qingshui Village is surrounded by hills on three sides, several small streams in the village are criss-crossed, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the countryside is simple, secluded and not remote, so I begged my father to build the yard where I live now, and then I will live here for ten days and a half every year. As for buying land, the royal father couldn't resist her coquettishness, saying that he wanted to be a landlord, and felt that land was the foundation of people after all, and he didn't lose money when he bought it, but few people sold paddy fields in these years, so he bought a piece of wasteland in the east of Qingshui Village, and spent two years to raise the land with a lot of manpower and material resources, and built a waterwheel to divert water, so as to make this scene today. As for the sandy land, she also said that she wanted to eat watermelon, and wanted a big pond to grow lotus and raise lotus root and fish, and the royal father saw that the sand was also cheap, so he bought it together, and the father of the "daughter slave" was severely reprimanded by her mother at that time. It's just that later she was busy practicing martial arts, and she had to deal with the female celebrity homework assigned by the Chen family, and she was surrounded by a few small radish heads every day, and she didn't have time to take care of these industries at all. Now she touches the scene, thinking of her father's love for her in the past, the tip of her nose is sore, and tears are already in her eyelashes. She took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness in her heart, with a hint of resoluteness between her eyebrows, clenched her hands into fists, and secretly made up her mind. She doesn't believe that her father's death was just an accident, and she must find out, but the top priority is to set up the family business. Her mother is not good at business, and her younger brother is even younger, so she will have to start a career in the future, and she can go more smoothly with the support of money, so she decided to take care of these fields in her hands first, and also have an income, so as not to sit on the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the tenants had gathered in front of the shed, and the village chief nodded to her, and after making sure that everyone was present, he motioned for everyone to listen to Wang Jin's speech. Wang Jin thanked the village chief, invited him to sit down, squeezed his mother's hand, signaled her not to worry, and stepped forward.
