Jiang pulled his daughter closer, combed Cheng Yuejiao's sideburns with his own hands, touched her shoulders again, and asked, "Are you wearing enough clothes?" ”

Cheng Yuejiao didn't speak, only bent her eyebrows and smiled, and Qiu Lu on the side said crisply: "Mrs. Hui, I originally added a jacket outside, but the girl said it was hot and took it off again." ”

Jiang Shi glanced at it and saw that in addition to Qiu Lu, there was a little maid of the same age as her who was serving beside her, but Wei'er was nowhere to be seen, and she couldn't help frowning: "What about Wei'er?" Why don't you see her? ”

Cheng Yuejiao immediately twisted her body and snorted, "I asked her to carry the cage." She eats more than others, and she has a lot of strength, so she can't eat for nothing. ”

Jiang Shi was stunned, and even though he couldn't cry or laugh.

It seems that the daughter seems to really dislike the girl, and refuses to let her serve closely, it is really a child's family, and such things can also be awkward.

However, Qiu Lu and the others were only eight or nine years old, young and frail, and it was not suitable for them to walk such a long way, so the Jiang family would not let them accompany them, and only ordered them to stay and take care of the house.

As for the spring peach and spring apricot, these two families were all sent to the Hejian Mansion Tea Garden, and in the past ten years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to use it, and the Jiang family also sent a letter to several brothers in advance, asking them to take care of one or two, and it can be regarded as a master and servant.

"Qiu Lu, go and call Wei'er back." Jiang Shi commanded, and when he saw his daughter's little face falling straight down, he had to speak again to reassure him:

"Let's go to your uncle's house first, your aunt has already picked out a girl for you, and we will bring it back with us when the time comes."

Saying that, Jiang Shi lowered his face again, and said: "There is only one thing, no matter who picks it up this time, you are not allowed to move indiscriminately." If you break the rules again, your mother won't agree. ”

As soon as she heard the words in front of her, Cheng Yuejiao immediately replied with disgust, only shaking Jiang's hand and laughing, but the second half of the sentence was skipped in her ears.

Jiang knew that she didn't listen at all, but he just shook his head helplessly.

She felt guilty about this daughter, and she was lenient everywhere, and every time she said that she would be strict, but in the end, she always couldn't harden her heart, and she had to spend more effort to coax her later.

However, when Jiang said that he was going back to Taiyuan, he was not coaxing his daughter, but it was indeed arranged in this way.

The Jiang family was originally a person from Taiyuan Mansion, and Jiang's tea shop also started from Taiyuan Mansion, after three generations, it was only then that it managed to the current situation, opened up the east and west roads of Hebei, and became the first big tea shop in the north of the Great Song Dynasty.

When Jiang and Cheng Wei met, it was in the middle of Cheng's family.

That Cheng Jiayuan is also a county, but it is a pity that the old man Cheng died early, Mrs. Cheng is alone, and those relatives around her are red-eyed to pick up the silver from her, her temperament is a little confused, and she can't tell the good from the bad, and within a few years, the land at hand was sold out.

Fortunately, her three sons were angry, and the group of people were afraid of offending too much, so they lost this piece of fat, so they never did anything.

Rao is like this, the ancestral property of the old Cheng family has also been stolen and sold, and the old lady Cheng listened to their lies and borrowed a lot of silver taels outside, and in the end, the two brothers Cheng Ji and Cheng Wei couldn't even make up the money for the test.

And the Jiang family is a well-known village sage in Taiyuan Prefecture, every year of the big competition, they will pay to subsidize the poor scholars, and the Cheng family is also an old acquaintance, seeing that this family is getting worse and worse, it is really a little unsightly, so he secretly shot to suppress those traitors, and helped the Cheng brothers with some assets.

Later, when he saw that his son Cheng Wei was a good character and excellent in character and learning, he was personally decided by Mrs. Jiang and married his only daughter.

With the help of the wealthy Yue family of the Jiang family, the life of the Cheng family is much better, the youngest son Cheng Huai also reads, and the eldest son Cheng Jiyuan has been talking about family affairs for a long time, and he finally succeeded after Cheng Wei became married.

Three years later, Cheng Ji was admitted to the second-class jinshi in one fell swoop, Cheng Wei was even more unexpected, he was a first-class jinshi and the first, and after the palace examination, he was awarded the loose official Wen Linlang on the spot, and the Cheng family moved to Bianjing.

Naturally, the money that moved was also from the Jiang family.

The Great Song Dynasty had a system, and the children of merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examination, but the Jiang family was too rich.

Because of this, Mrs. Jiang married her daughter to Cheng Wei before he made a fortune, because he liked that this son was definitely not a thing in the pool, and the old man's vision was indeed very accurate.

Jiang went to the capital with her husband's family, and later because Cheng Wei was transferred to Zhending as the county commander, she also took her daughter with her.

Their Jiang family has a big business, and they have set up an industry here early, and the family of three has made this small courtyard a separate business, and occasionally comes to live for a few days.

Later, Cheng Wei was transferred back to Bianliang, and the Zhending County Ya was uninhabitable, so Jiang and Cheng Yuejiao lived here for a long time, and the "Cheng Mansion" plaque on the lintel was never removed.

Since moving to the capital with her husband, Jiang has never returned to her parents' home, more than ten years have passed, she misses her parents very much, and now the opportunity is rare, so she agreed with the Cheng family to go back to Taiyuan Province first, and then go to the capital along the east side of the river through Fenshui.

After all, it is also a way, and bypassing the two roads in Hebei that were plagued by bandits in the past two years, Cheng Wei will not object, and the Jiang family is even more happy, and the eldest brother of the Jiang family also said in the letter that he will send someone to meet them on the halfway.

In this way, the journey will be more secure, and the last bit of worry in Jiang's heart will also dissipate.

"Mother...... Oh no, mother, will Jiaojiao help you go? ”

The daughter's delicate voice sounded in her ears, and two soft wings grabbed Jiang's arms.

Jiang Shi turned his mind back and saw his daughter smiling like a flower, so he couldn't help but laugh himself, and took her arm and stepped out of the courtyard gate first.

Whoever wanted to take two steps out, there was a sudden exclamation outside, and even though it was noisy, mixed with the neighing of horses.

The whole alley also has a carriage for the Cheng family, Jiang listened to it, his footsteps stopped immediately, and the smile on his face disappeared in a moment:

"What's the matter? Why is it so noisy? ”

This morning has not stopped, no matter how good her temper is, she has already had a little anger at this time.

The two little servants knew that they were fast, and immediately ran down, and after a while, they led the steward Jiang Shun back quickly.

That Jiang Shun has a slight beard and a fat physique, and at this time, one wall is moving forward, the other wall is wiping the sweat on his forehead, and the clothes on his back are also a little wet, showing that he is very busy this morning.

"What's wrong?" Before he could get closer, Jiang asked in a loud voice, his face was very ugly.

The auspicious time was almost up, and she really didn't want to hear any more surprises.

Jiang Fu hurriedly walked a few steps forward and said respectfully:

"Mrs. Hui, an old beggar from nowhere, suddenly crashed into our convoy, and several dart masters have already driven him away."
