The golden pot next to him was embarrassed to take out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over: "Auntie, this is my share, and I will hand it over to you, this will definitely cost money when it arrives in Qicheng, if it is not enough, Auntie, you will cushion it first, and when you go home, I will let my father give it to you!" ”

These taels of silver are his private money, and he and Jin Dou ran to the town a few years ago, and each person bought some things for the New Year's family, and went to the nearby village to peddle them.

Their things are at a fair price, and their mouths are sweet, if they lack something, say it, and they will bring it over next time, a bit of a merchant who walks through the village and alleys.

If you don't have the money, you can also mortgage it with something, and then the two brothers will drag it to the town and sell it. After more than half a month, he actually earned more than one or two silver.

When he came out this time, Jin Dou handed over all the money to the golden pot, and he also wanted him to see what cheap and fashionable things were in the county, and to bring some back to sell.

When the golden pot was leaving, his father and mother didn't give him money, and he didn't expect that when he saw Wang Yongping giving money at this moment, he was immediately ashamed and ashamed, and hurriedly took out all the money and silver he planned to do business.

Wang Yongzhu smiled, didn't shirk, and took the silver.

Seeing this, Wang Yonggui struggled for a long time before he reluctantly took out a piece of broken silver, which he secretly exchanged in the county seat.

Handed it to Wang Yongzhu.

Qicheng, although not far from Jing County, are two completely different county seats.

Jing County relies on the Evergreen Academy, and there are all kinds of mountain goods dealers to prosper and live.

And Qicheng, named after minerals.

The mountains around Qicheng are not high, and the trees on the mountains are not very prosperous, so it was originally a relatively barren town.

However, when the copper mine was discovered here, it immediately became lively.

Copper was a controlled metal of the imperial court and could not be mined by private individuals.

Because after the discovery of copper mines, the imperial court recruited many ordinary people and craftsmen to mine and smelt for the imperial court.

These people dragged their families with their families, and soon the town was not enough to live in.

In addition, there were garrisons in the local area, and it became more and more lively, and not long after, it was changed to a county seat.

Because of the minerals, although it is remote, it is also rich.

Even the houses on the street are a little more explosive than those in Jing County.

After getting off the boat, Wang Yongzhu saw that in the teahouse next to the dock, Song Chongjin was sitting on the second floor, nodding at her covertly.

Wang Yongzhu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Mrs. Zhang beat her waist: "Now we have arrived in Qicheng, and I don't know where the second brute lives, how to find it?" ”

Wang Yonggui said with a big grin: "Didn't he say that he would be a master for the county master?" Shall we go to the county government to find it? ”

Wang Yongping had never seen the county government in his life, and he was a little scared when he heard it: "Will we be bombed out when we go to the county office?" ”

As he was talking, he heard a familiar voice: "Mother, little sister, the third child, the golden pot, you are here!" ”

Everyone turned their heads and saw the tea stall not far from the wharf, and stood up alone, who was not Wang Yongan?

Wang Yongan was wearing an ordinary green cloth straight cloth, and most of the coolies were sitting next to the tea stalls, and he stood out of place among the coolies.

Seeing the people from the Wang family, the smile on Wang Yongan's face was a little more tangible, and he hurried to greet him.

Mrs. Zhang didn't talk nonsense with him: "What's the matter with your father?" Why did you get sick? Can't get out of bed yet? ”

When Wang Yongan heard Mrs. Zhang's question, he immediately showed a look of self-blame: "It's all my fault!" Originally, I had been fine all the way, and I didn't get motion sickness on the boat, but after I got home, I began to vomit and diarrhea the next day. I called a doctor to come and see it, saying that I was not accustomed to water and soil, and I also prescribed medicine to eat, but it was always not good. ”

"At first, my father could still walk on the ground, but then it became more and more serious, bedridden, and now he is hanging by the decoction, I am really panicked, these days I don't even go to the county office, every day in addition to asking a doctor, I just come here to wait for you. If you don't come again, I don't know what to do......"

As he spoke, his eyes were red, and he looked embarrassed.

Mrs. Zhang snorted from her nose and didn't answer Wang Yongan's words: "Okay, let's go to your house first." ”

Wang Yongan nodded hurriedly, hired a carriage to the side, and invited everyone to the car.

When Wang Yongzhu helped Mrs. Zhang into the carriage, she took another look at the teahouse, and Song Chongjin had already left.

The carriage didn't travel long before it stopped at the gate of an ordinary courtyard.

After getting out of the car, Wang Yonggui looked around suspiciously: "Second brother, aren't you the master of the county master?" How can you still live in a place like this? ”

At first glance, it is an ordinary house, with narrow alleys, and the alleys are not very clean, and there are a few children at the door of each house, laughing and playing in the alleys.

Occasionally, women, dressed in ordinary clothes, came out of the courtyard and splashed water under the walls.

When they saw the people from the Wang family, the women looked at them a few more times before they went back to their courtyard.

Wang Yongan's face did not change, and he only said lightly: "Let's talk about it first." ”

Pushing open the courtyard door, there is a small courtyard to enter, with three main houses on it, and the rooms on the left and right wings next to it are all small and low.

The yard is not big, with a small flower bed in the middle.

Hearing the movement, Qian and Jin Hai came out of the upper room, and the window of the left wing room moved, and it seemed that someone was behind, but no one came out.

Qian Shi saw Mrs. Zhang and Wang Yongzhu and her party, and immediately squeezed out two tears: "Mother, little sister, you are here!" Don't come again—"

"Get out of the way of the old lady - your father is not dead, what kind of mourning do you howl?" Mrs. Zhang was upset when she saw Qian, pushed her away, and rushed into the upper room.

When he entered the upper room, he didn't see Wang Laozhu's shadow, and when he turned around, Qian twisted his handkerchief and barely squeezed out a smile: "Mother, my father is raising it in the next room." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the wing room on the right.

Mrs. Zhang and her entourage walked out again, and Wang Yongan had already opened the chambers and stood at the door.

Mrs. Zhang didn't think about anything else, and when they entered the house, they found that this room was not only small, but also the light was not very good.

As soon as I entered the house, there was an unpleasant temperature, the house was not airy, and Wang Laozhu vomited and diarrhea, and he couldn't clean it up in time, and the unpleasant smell was really indescribable.

Wang Yonggui covered his nose and ran out first.

Mrs. Zhang's face twitched for a while, and she was about to hold back it.

Wang Yongzhu was almost crying, her five senses are now sensitive, this sense of smell is more sensitive than others, and this extremely lethal smell has caused her more serious damage than others.

I had to hold my breath, open the window, lean over the window, and try to breathe a few breaths of fresh air before I barely survived.

After some tossing, the smell in the house finally dissipated a little.

Mrs. Zhang and Wang Yongzhu walked to the side of the kang and saw Wang Laozhu lying on the bed, sleeping with his eyes closed, and such a big movement did not wake him up.
