Yu Jiayan was surprised, "You have already sent the rice seeds we ordered?" ”

Gu Zhixian's nephew wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Yes, the mule cart of Yuezhu is waiting outside the city gate now." ”

When Yu Jiayan heard this, he hurriedly asked Ping'an to drive the mule cart out again, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go outside the city to pick up the goods now. ”

Gu Zhixian's nephew also got into the mule cart with Yu Jiayan, "They are outside the South City Gate, we have to go to the South Gate to pick them up first." Uh, that's not right either. ”

He patted his head, "We have to go to the county office first, and go to the county office to pick up my sister-in-law's mother's brother." ”

Seeing this, Mingyue had no choice but to wave her hand at Yu Jiayan, "Then I'll go to Ming's house to report a message first, and I'll go to the south gate of the county with my eldest brother and them later." ”

Yu Jiayan bowed slightly, and Ping'an immediately drove the mule cart towards the county government.

Dong Zhi, who was following Mingyue, looked puzzled, "Master, why didn't Brother Gu Furao directly send us rice seeds into the county seat?" ”

Mingyue smiled slightly, "I should want to save a lot of money for honoring the officers and soldiers guarding the city." ”

Dong Solstice was stunned, "Isn't he Uncle Gu Darao?" He wants to enter the city, do those officers and soldiers dare to ask him if he wants silver? ”

Mingyue patted the winter solstice brain, "This is where he is smarter, of course, it is also possible that Mrs. Gu told him in advance not to make a big fuss." ”

Winter Solstice still doesn't understand.

Mingyue had no choice but to explain to her in detail, "If a person like him brings a large amount of goods into the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city will basically be slaughtered as fat sheep, if he doesn't report to the name of Gu Zhi County, then he will inevitably have to pay a sum of silver to let the goods enter the city smoothly." But if he reported the name of Gu Zhixian... If the officers and soldiers who don't defend the city believe it, even if they do, who can guarantee that they will obediently let Gu Furao's brother enter the city? ”

As soon as the bright moon was like this, the winter solstice immediately remembered the open and secret battle between the county magistrate and the county lord in Fuxing County, which is almost well-known.

The maid tugged at the handkerchief with a worried face, "Then your mother-in-law and mother-in-law are friends with the magistrate..."

Mingyue flicked her finger on her forehead, "These are not things you should worry about, you just need to continue to control your mouth and work diligently like now."

Think about the winter solstice too.

If she collapses, she must be the tallest one first, so why should she worry about who the master is good with and who is evil? She only needs to worry about what is delicious today, what she has to do, and whether the master will be happy to reward her with a few coppers to buy flowers to wear.

***

Two quarters of an hour later, Ming Xu, Erlang, San Lang, and Mingyue rushed to the south gate of the county in a mule cart.

In the distance, Ming Xu saw a mule cart parked beside the dusty official road.

The circle of young men standing or sitting next to the mule cart included both dart game warriors in uniform and middle-aged men with dusty faces and bound hands.

Yu Jiayan, who walked out of the south gate of the county seat one step ahead of them, was looking at the team of people in front of him with Gu Zhixian's nephew at this time.

"This is my second brother and my third brother, and they came with me this time." When Ming Xu got out of the car, he happened to hear Liu Dalang, the eldest brother of Gu Furao's mother's family, introducing two middle-aged men with a restrained face next to the mule cart to Yu Jiayan.

"Second brother, third brother, this is Yu Xiucai who bought our rice seeds." Liu Dalang gestured to his two younger brothers to greet Yu Jiayan as he spoke.

Yu Jiayan saw that he was busy and took the lead in bowing and saluting, "My nephew has seen two uncles. ”

Liu Erlang and Liu Sanlang didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

Although the biggest official they have ever seen is their brother-in-law Gu Zhixian, Gu Zhixian was not rich in life before he came to Fuxing County.

Until he left his hometown, the best clothes he wore were only a muslin robe, and there was no half of the ornament on his body.

Which is like Yu Jiayan, because he went to Gu Zhixian's house to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Gu, so the outfit on his body is both bright and eye-catching, and the two brothers of the Liu family saw him wearing a brocade robe, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a silver crown on his head, and they suddenly felt three points of timidity in their hearts.

In addition, he is the buyer of rice seeds with a reputation for showing talent, and there is no doubt that they are overwhelmed in terms of identity and money, so it is strange that the two brothers of the Liu family are not timid.

Fortunately, Yu Jiayan is a polite and well-behaved person, even if the other party is just a simple farmer who is honest and has never seen much of the world, Yu Jiayan, as a child of a farmer, will never snub them.

He saluted the two of them according to their seniority, and then introduced the three brothers of the Liu family to Ming Xu and others.

Mingxu also took the initiative to greet the three brothers of the Liu family, and Mingyue even instructed Dong Solstice to take out all kinds of food brought from the city.

“... Time was pressed and there was no time to make it, so I bought flatbreads, steamed buns, steamed buns, braised pork, roast chicken and other things on the street to cushion everyone's stomach. ”

As soon as she said this, the dart masters who had been tired or squatting or standing suddenly all looked at the mule cart behind her with green eyes.

With a look, the two servants who were originally standing quietly behind him immediately took over the large earthen basket with a large piece of oiled paper and various kinds of food from the hands of Dong Solstice.

"We've got hot soup ready, too." Mingyue motioned to the two guys to go to the car to carry the coarse porcelain jars full of bone broth.

The leading dart master laughed directly with a mouthful of white teeth, "Big sister, you are so polite." ”

As soon as Mingyue wanted to smile back at him, Yu Jiayan had already quickly blocked her behind her, "This brother is polite." ”

After saying such a very perfunctory polite sentence, he immediately turned his gaze to the three brothers of the Liu family, who were still cramped, "Three uncles, you can also eat something while it's hot." ”

On the side, Yu Jiayan took a large sea of food from the winter solstice

There are three layers in the food box, the top layer is a plate of roast chicken and a plate of sauce elbows, the second layer is sauerkraut stewed tofu, celery and peanuts, and the third layer is a stack of mille-feuille cakes and a plate of white flour steamed buns.

He delivered the food box to the mule cart at Gu Zhixian's house, and then asked Dong Solstice to bring three bowls of hot soup to the three of them.

Ming Xu urged the three brothers of the Liu family to get in the car for dinner, "... There are tables on the car, and the carriage is slightly sheltered from the cold wind. ”

The three brothers of the Liu family, who couldn't figure out why they suddenly entered the eating mode, got into the mule cart in a daze, and when they came back to their senses, they found that only the three of them were left in the car.

The three of you, look at me, I look at you, and after a while, Liu Dalang picked up the chopsticks and said to the two younger brothers, "Let's eat first, and wait until you finish eating." ”

No, how to eat and sleep in the open along the way, even when they stayed in their own homes before, they could only eat such a hearty meal during the New Year's Festival.

Not to mention that today they only nibbled on two cold and hard thick noodles steamed buns with hot water in the morning, and now they are already hungry with their chests against their backs.

There is a way to eat the emperor, and now when they see hot food at first glance, especially this hot meal, it is all difficult for them to eat, and it is a real wonder that they can resist not eating.
