Chapter 73 Ride on the Ox Cart (Asking for Support, Collection, Tickets, Subscriptions)
Ding Ningmo listened to the outside language in the car, and she just sat silently.
The maid beside her pouted and muttered in a low voice: "The toad wants to eat swan meat." ”
"Don't Talk"
Ding Ningmo interrupted the maid's words, feeling that having such an ignorant maid by her side would cause her trouble, why did she bring out an ignorant maid and always have it by her side before?
This is a family child, which is a bit difficult to control.
"Miss, I'm not wrong." The maid muttered unwillingly.
Ding Ningmo lowered his head to think about things, no longer paying attention to the maid, the cold wind blew the curtain in the ox cart, and saw a young lady frowning and bowing her head in a depressed mood.
The maid beside her pouted, as if someone else owed her millions of silver.
The uncle who drove the ox cart, wearing a cotton hat and a cotton coat, let the oxen go forward unhurriedly.
The kid sitting next to him was not wearing very thick clothes, and the cold wind didn't make him feel cold, and he smiled on his face.
The young man grew up in a small mountain village, and his activities were limited to the village and the mountains, and he occasionally made a trip to the town.
The rich man's villa hired someone to work, and he would also go to earn some pocket money, but he couldn't meet the rich lady.
When I saw Ding Ningmo today, if I saw the heavenly immortals descending to earth, even the girl next to her was more beautiful than the girls in their village.
Ding Ningmo found that the ox cart passed by the road below the robbed cottage, and the former tea shed had been emptied.
Found this place, yesterday after a struggle, there were still dried blood stains in the dirt, and there was a bloody stench in the air.
Ding Ningmo knew that the mountain king was not dead, and the officials had searched and arrested only small shrimps.
"Miss, fortunately, it's okay now."
The maid patted her chest, and the experience of the past few days frightened her.
"Shhhh
"yes, got it."
Ding Ningmo didn't know that the house slave who helped him drive the carriage was injured in the escape, and the horse in the carriage was injured again, and when he went around and returned to Ding's house, three days had passed.
When the people of the Ding family saw the house slave like this, they asked in a panic and learned that it had been a few days since Ding Ningmo and the maid were robbed.
Ding Ningmo's father and mother didn't dare to make a noise, the reputation of the eldest daughter was ruined, so she hurriedly sent people out to look for her, but she didn't dare to report to the official, and she didn't dare to ask the guards to ask people from the rivers and lakes to help and bring people back.
The rest of the Ding family didn't know, they just thought that Ding Ningmo was playing outside, and she hadn't returned for so long, thinking that she was very willful.
When the subordinates saw the coachman and came back injured, they all thought it was very strange, and asked the coachman and the coachman to say nothing.
The coachman was passing by, and Master Ding told him not to expose the matter and go home to recuperate.
When the driver returned home, his family asked him why he was injured. He didn't dare tell the truth.
……
After more than an hour, the ox cart came to Annai County, and there were still officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and they briefly looked at their cart and let them go.
The ox cart entered the city, and the uncle who drove the cart asked the people behind him while driving the cart.
"Two girls, where are you getting off the bus?"
"Let's go to the restaurant inn in the city!"
Ding Ningmo felt that when he arrived here, he should find a place to live at this hour.
"Yes, girl."
The boy's mouth moved, he didn't speak, he was a little reluctant, but he couldn't keep it.
The maid whispered:
"Miss, we don't have money for accommodation."
"There should be a pawnshop in the city that uses our jewelry, right?"
"Ah, this ......" the maid pouted, didn't say what came out of her mouth, now she was dressed plainly enough, she had never been so depressed before.
Ding Ningmo no longer paid attention to the maid, and was worried about accommodation and food at the moment, regardless of whether the bleaching on his body was beautiful?
The uncle drove the car to the best restaurant inn in the city and stopped at the door.
"Girl, it's here."
"Well, thank you." Ding Ningmo got off the ox cart with the help of the maid.
She got out of the car and stood at the door of the restaurant inn, not knowing whether to book the inn in advance or to go as jewelry first.
"Miss, do you want to go in?"
"Let's go out into the streets!" Ding Ningmo felt that he still went to be a jewelry.
The uncle who was driving the car saw the boy staring blankly, and the two girls who walked away.
"Nephew, go into the restaurant and sell this rabbit."
"Uncle San, can I go to the market to sell?"
"Nephew, this is the point, is there anyone still going to buy vegetables in the market? Don't you look, what time is it? If we delay any longer, we won't be able to return to the village after dark, do you still want to go back with me? ”
"Third uncle, can I stay in the city?"
"No, what are you doing in the city? You don't look at what you will be? I promised your father and mother to take you back. ”
"Third uncle, look at the recruitment there, I can go to work as a coolie."
The boy looked at the red paper posted in the restaurant and thought of a way to stay in the city.
"Nephew, if you want to work here, then you have to sign up first, go home and bring the quilt here, find a place to live, how to live in this cold weather."
"For my third uncle, my father and I can do it, and my nephew will sign up first."
"Your idea is good, my son can also come to do it, and he can drive you to the ox cart in the morning and pick you up in the evening."
The third uncle saw that the wages of the workers recruited there were really a bit high, and he thought of the two sons in the family, and it was good for their family to earn some money for the holidays.
The shopkeeper who is recruiting there has recruited two or three hundred people after two or three days of recruitment, so it looks like there should be no one left, right?
Unexpectedly, two more people came, and when I heard them say that there were still people in the family who signed up, the customer didn't say no, so I asked them what they would do?
Knowing that they could work as coolies or builders, he wrote their names and he came tomorrow.
The two uncles and nephews were very happy, went into the restaurant to sell rabbits, drove the ox cart home, and told the good news to the family.
Knowing that they had gone to the city and found another lucrative job, the capable young and middle-aged people in the village became enthusiastic.
asked one after another, and learned that there were still workers in the city, and there were so many people at once, and an ox cart couldn't sit down.
Those who have the heart to work think that he should go to the city before dawn, and when the morning comes, he should go to the city, and he should apply for a job.
The family recruits people to work for a high salary, and it is worth it to walk to work.
……
Ding Ningmo and the maid were walking on the street, their appearance was a little embarrassed, and the people passing by looked at them with scrutiny.
Ding Ningmo looked at both sides of the street to see if there were any pawnshops, and a carriage drove in front, and she and the maid went to the side of the road.
The carriage stopped beside them, and a man's head sticked out of the window of the carriage.
"Miss, let's meet again, hehe, it's really fate."
Li Mingrui had just returned home from a visit to the Liang Mansion, and since that day at Jue'an Temple, his cousin had a fight with a young lady and injured him.
After recuperating at home for two days, I was in a better mood and got my cousin's letter of apology, so I forgave my cousin.
