223. 135 The pillar returns
Mei Niang also put a lot of ice cubes in Jiang Chuye's storage jade bracelet, but fortunately, the items placed in it will also enter a static state, but she is not afraid that they will melt.
It's just that from time to time I see Jiang Chuye, who is secretly throwing ice cubes into his mouth by yawning and covering his mouth while riding a horse, and I feel inexplicably happy, how much like a greedy little hamster?
The further you go to the capital, the more prosperous the towns here become, and they are not as depressed and dilapidated as before, and most of the people can eat enough, of course, there are still many people who will beg along the streets due to hunger.
It's just that the security here is much better than elsewhere, even if there are robberies and murders, they are also very secretive, and they will never be so blatant.
Mei Niang's carriage was also replaced by a wooden carriage with a shed roof built by tree branches, and a thick mat was also laid in the car, Jiang Chuye also tied the horse he rode to Mei Niang's carriage, and the two horses pulled a cart together, and he was promoted to Mei Niang's coachman.
Mei Niang sat in it and was not afraid of the stuffy inside, when others rode horses and galloped, Mei Niang lay comfortably in the carriage, and when it was hot, she took out a basin of ice and put it in the carriage to cool down, if the carriage stopped and put away the ice basin, the carriage was always cold and comfortable, and sometimes Mei Niang would be cold and add a thin quilt on the body.
Even Jiang Chuye, who was sitting in front of the carriage, was much more moisturized than riding on a horse, the shed of the carriage was very long, he was not afraid of the sun, and he could also enjoy the feeding of Meiniang fruit ice cubes and sorbets, which was really happy compared to others.
The advantage is that there is, but the disadvantage is that when they get to the point, others eat hot food, and these two people just eat a little symbolically, but it makes people think that the two of them are suffering from heat stroke before losing their appetite?
But...... It's someone else who is really getting sunburned, right?
Of course, Mei Niang's favorite is snacks from all over the world, every time she goes to a town and sees the rich snacks on the street, Mei Niang simply gets off the carriage and eats all the way.
What about Jiang Chuye? Behind Mei Niang, he led the carriage to follow.
Su Huanyu is also very keen on all kinds of snacks, but unfortunately this child spends too much money, and it didn't take long for Meiniang's carriage to be full, Meiniang simply stopped giving him money to spend, and Meiniang had to nod if he wanted to buy anything.
Over time, Su Huanyu's urge to buy things was gone, but there was more grievance in his eyes, and when Meiniang proposed to go shopping again, he simply followed Uncle Jiang and the two to find a tea stall where the sun was not shining to drink tea, anyway, the money for tea was ...... Uncle Jiang will pay.
Mei Niang is even more happy, every time she encounters a favorite snack, she will buy a lot, and then put it in the storage jade bracelet, when you want to eat, when you take it out, anyway, the things in the storage jade bracelet will not be as cold as put into the space, whether it is cold or hot, it is the same.
Zou Xue sometimes eats like Mei Niang, but Zou Le'an just frowned and looked displeased, as if Zou Xue was eating like this is a very identious thing, but fortunately, he didn't say much.
Mei Niang was still thinking about how to get rid of the two brothers and sisters, otherwise even if they didn't recognize the Jiang family's father and son and Su Huanyu at this time, they would know the identities of the three when they arrived in the capital.
After the last day, after discussion, Mei Niang and the others decided to settle in Chang County, which is 300 miles away from the capital, and then said to the two brothers and sisters...... They arrived home.
I heard Uncle Jiang say that there is a house of their Jiang family here, which he bought when he was not making a fortune, but he never went back when the official became bigger, but Jiang Chu didn't know that there was such a place in his house at night, and it was estimated that it was still there after so many years.
Of course, they didn't tell the brothers and sisters what it meant, anyway, let them follow, the world is so chaotic, there are roadblocks and robberies everywhere, don't look at the proximity to the capital, you can't take it lightly, these people are not bad to be a free thug.
Finally, Changxian arrived, and when he passed by the house, which looked like it was a few years old, Uncle Jiang smiled and said to the Zou brothers and sisters: "The old man has arrived home, and Miss Zou, the son of Lao Zou, will send him all the way." ”
The expressions on the faces of the Zou family brothers and sisters changed, or Zou Le'an's city was deeper, and he asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to the capital?" It is still more than 300 miles away from the capital. ”
Uncle Jiang also smiled: "At the beginning, I said that I was going to the capital, but the distance was far away, and the direction that the old man said at will, although it is more than 300 miles away from the capital, it can be regarded as the direction of the capital, and the old man is not lying." ”
Saying that, let Su Huanyu knock on the door, and it didn't take long for someone inside to speak, and a trembling old man came out, and after the door opened, he asked hoarsely, "Who?" ”
Uncle Jiang stepped forward and said excitedly: "Uncle Liu, it's me, the pillar is back." ”
'Poof' Mei Niang really didn't mean to hold back, but Su Huanyu and Jiang Chuye also covered their mouths and endured it very hard.
When Uncle Liu heard that the pillar was back, he rubbed his eyes excitedly, and then looked carefully, "It's really a pillar." ”
Uncle Jiang didn't wait for him to say anything else, and asked everyone to drive the horses and carts into the yard first.
Su Huanyu was the last one, and when he entered the door, he raised his eyebrows at the Zou family brothers and sisters, "My son is home, I won't send it far." ”
The expressions on the faces of the Zou brothers and sisters changed, they couldn't have imagined that the destination of these people was not the capital, but such a small county on the edge of the capital, but everyone had arrived home, and they had no intention of inviting them in, did they still want to follow?
They just looked at the horses before them were too good, and Su Huanyu was very similar to someone they knew, wanting to see if they could have four horses like that would be the person the brother and sister thought.
But facts speak louder than words, these people are not!
Since it's not, the brother and sister naturally have no idea of intersecting with low-class people, and judging by the years of this house and the degree of paint loss, it will definitely not be a rich and status person to live.
And also...... Pillar? Is this the name of a person with status?
The brother and sister scoffed, and began to regret that they had wasted their precious time for these people, and that is...... Zou Xue thought that in order to flatter Meiniang's lowly preferences, she had to pretend to eat the food on those stalls with a liking face, and now she feels sick to her stomach when she thinks about it.
finally got rid of the Zou family brothers and sisters, Jiang Chuye gave Mei Niang a profound education for this, and Mei Niang summed up one sentence: Don't talk to strangers.
Mei Niang accepted it humbly, if it weren't for the fact that she showed a little kindness to Zou Xue at the beginning, she would have a cold face like Jiang Chuye, Su Huanyu and Uncle Jiang, and the Zou brothers and sisters would not stick it up no matter how thick-skinned they were.
Therefore, she is still not hard-hearted enough, like this time, should she be cold or cold, regardless of who she is, she will not feel ignored and hurt her soul.
Changxian County is more than 300 miles away from the capital, under the jurisdiction of the capital, and the road that must be passed by the adjacent capital is quite passable.
It's just that it's too far away from the capital, and anyone with some ability won't choose to settle here.
When Uncle Jiang left Baohe Village and came out, he had no relatives around him, and he met Uncle Liu in the army, and Uncle Jiang, who was still young, was taken care of by Uncle Liu, and the two were like comrades-in-arms, like father and son, and came over with each other, until Uncle Liu retired from the army, Uncle Jiang was promoted to an official position because of his military exploits, and received some rewards, so he bought a house here.
Originally, he thought that he would not be far from his training ground, have a place to stay, and be able to take care of Uncle Liu nearby, but he didn't expect that the official would become bigger and bigger, so that he was entangled in military affairs, and Uncle Liu still recognized this place, no matter how many times Uncle Jiang asked him to go to Beijing to live, he refused.
Later, Uncle Jiang didn't force it anymore, left the house for Uncle Liu to use for the elderly, and bought a few servants for him here.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Liu worked hard all his life, and he was at ease alone, so he sent those servants away.
Uncle Jiang was also quite helpless when he found out, so he had to let people come to see Uncle Liu every once in a while, and he himself was not idle in the southern and northern wars earlier, but later because of his health, he never came again, even if he passed by Changxian, he didn't have time to come around in a circle.
Only during the New Year's Festival, he will send someone to take Uncle Liu into Beijing to live for a while, originally Jiang Chuye also saw Uncle Liu, but after a long time, and then he was in the army all the year round, and the New Year's Festival may not be able to spend in Beijing, and gradually forgot about Uncle Liu.
Now when I see it, I think of such a person, but Changxian has passed through Beijing many times, but he has not stopped once, even when he went to the training ground, he did not go around here, and he didn't know that this place was still his father's home in his early years.
Now looking at Uncle Liu's appearance of the old Mai Longzhong, Uncle Jiang felt guilty first, and he must go back to Beijing with Uncle Liu to enjoy a few years of Qingfu.
Uncle Liu refused to say anything, but fortunately, after reaching the end of the day, he finally agreed with Uncle Jiang's decision to buy a few more servants for him. In fact, he is getting older and older, and his body is inconvenient, and it is inconvenient to live alone and cook or something.
I am also afraid that if there is something one day, there is no one around, and the evening scene is quite sad.
The four of them naturally can't let Uncle Liu cook here, but fortunately, Mei Niang's hands are also skillful, and there is no shortage of things at home, although Uncle Jiang is no longer in the capital, Princess Zhenyue still remembers that there is such a person as Uncle Liu, even if he doesn't have Uncle Jiang's feelings, he also knows that he is important to Uncle Jiang's heart, and he always sends money and food on time every month.
If Uncle Liu hadn't insisted on cooking by himself, I am afraid that the best banquets would have been delivered every day.
It's still early, Mei Niang picked a few good dishes to clean up a table, although this dish looks not as tender as the water in her space, but in the end it is still a green and natural vegetable, and it tastes good.
Mei Niang added space water to it, and the taste must not have to be said, as soon as it was served, Uncle Liu praised it.
Just when Meiniang was cooking, Uncle Jiang had already told Uncle Liu about the relationship between Meiniang and Jiang Chuye, and Uncle Liu praised Jiang Chuye's good fortune, it is rare to praise a good girl like Meiniang, and Jiang Chuye, who praised, would only laugh.
Mei Niang's feeling for Uncle Liu is very kind, he is a simple old man, with a wisdom and indifferent and detached heart that young people do not have, he has worked hard all his life, and he does not want to cause trouble to others in his old age.
She also saw that Uncle Jiang's concern for Uncle Liu was from the bottom of her heart, and she really didn't worry about the old man living here alone, but Uncle Liu just refused to follow him into Beijing.
Thinking of Jiang Chuye's worries about Uncle Jiang, although it was for the sake of Meiniang, he didn't want her to be used by his father and become a victim of power, but it would still affect the relationship between father and son to some extent.
If Uncle Liu was to accompany Uncle Jiang by his side, such a wise and indifferent old man would always be enlightened by his side, would Uncle Jiang also become indifferent?
Thinking like this, Mei Niang was also thinking about whether she could kidnap Uncle Liu into the capital.
