Chapter 302: Pretending to be a businessman
"Brother Chen, this foal... Where did you get that? Why didn't the wind penetrate a single one before? ”
In the military tent, after Changji asked about Ke'er's situation, he immediately couldn't wait to ask about the little pony, and the greedy expression on his face really couldn't stop it.
An Zichen smiled mysteriously and shook his head, "No comment!" ”
Changji jumped to his feet: "Just tell me!" I didn't want to rob your foal, why are you so stingy? I'll go buy another one myself! ”
He is like this, he won't take anything serious to heart, the relationship between the two people is a relationship that can be exchanged in the battlefield, and there will be no rudeness in ordinary times.
"No comment!" An Zichen repeated again.
Changji was anxious, "Brother Chen, I treat you as a good brother, but you treat me like this, are you worthy of me?" ”
An Zichen shook his head: "You don't have to!" ”
Changji was stunned: "What is the need?" ”
"Don't pretend to be affectionate! It doesn't hurt to tell you! However, this horse was given by Madame Ben! There's only one horse in the world! You can't buy it! ”
What he said is not a lie, this is indeed a gift from his wife, and it is indeed a unique existence in the world.
As for Pei Heng and Chu Yunche, he couldn't afford it at this price anyway, and saying it made him deify his swift wind.
"I'll go find my sister-in-law when I go back," Changji muttered.
"Alright, let's be serious!" An Zichen forked the topic.
The two of them were very serious when they talked about business, and their faces were meticulous.
Without waiting for the two to finish, Zheng Ying came over.
The two got up to salute, but were stopped by Zheng Ying, "Don't be polite!" It's important to get down to business! ”
"General, how is the preparation of the grain and grass? Who will escort you this time? As soon as An Zichen heard this, he didn't fake politeness to him, and went straight to the topic.
Zheng Ying frowned, "The imperial court only sowed one-third of the grain and grass, and the remaining two-thirds of the silver, saying that there is not much left of the treasury for food disaster relief!" ”
After speaking, he rubbed his eyebrows and had a headache, "Ben has already sent someone to buy it!" ”
"Who?" Changji answered.
"General Wang Mang!" Zheng won back.
An Zichen and the two people in the factory looked a little strange.
"General Wang? He's the third prince! blatantly supporting the three princes, how could the general send him..."
The grain and grass officer who someone has painstakingly planted in should have seen what he should do in the face of such a predicament? ”
"We've got to get ready, right?" An Zichen said.
"This matter will be handed over to the two of you, Wanbian City is almost unable to hold it, you must find it, Changji, you first escort the grain and grass on the road, Zichen, you stay, take the general's silver to buy food, as for Wang Mang, watch closely, if he makes any moves, do it directly!"
With this arrangement, Changji could set off and set off with the few grains and grass given by the imperial court.
An Zichen was arranged to stay, but he made some pretenses, pretending to follow Zheng Ying to the front line, and then made himself look like a businessman and returned to the capital.
This side of Baijia Village.
Lao An's family was implicated in Liu Mei's matter, and was directly expelled from the village and never allowed to go back.
After hearing the news, Mrs. An and Ge Mingyu cried and tossed for a day, refusing to leave.
"Old man, go and tell July, we have no way to survive without the village!"
Lao An's wife finally compromised, softened her tone, and put down her attitude to ask Lao An's head.
Isn't it fatal for her to let her take her sons and grandchildren to wander?
Yes, the messenger above said, let Lao An stay alone.
Lao An is not worried, but can he really work if he goes?
"This is not an order from the fourth family, she is just a peasant woman, and her words don't count!" The old man pointed out the key issues.
Lao An's wife did not relent, "This matter is because of her, she must be good to plead, old man, you are for the sake of our eldest grandchildren, you see, Ming'er is going to say kiss, so if he is kicked out, he will be finished!" ”
The old man sighed, lowered his head, and did not speak.
On the side, Liu Mei was beaten enough and knelt, Ge Mingyu looked at her with quenched eyes, and pinched Ling'er who was trembling around her from time to time.
Ling'er didn't dare to cry out when she was pinched, gritted her teeth, and trembled with fright.
"Dad, save us, we don't want to be kicked out, Dad, we are really all done with being kicked out like this, Dad!"
An Zicheng cried and knelt down and crawled to his father's side.
In fact, the most innocent of them is the second room, they have always adhered to their duties, adhering to the principle that people don't offend me, I don't offend people.
It is also Yang Qiuju who has always controlled An Zihang, and it is not bad to educate his son, so they are really innocent because of the misfortune that flew because of Liu Mei.
The home is gone, the land is gone, that is, the food is gone, and there is no silver in the hand, so they are driven out, which is not much worse than when they fled the famine.
And the above means that you can't stay in the capital.
Where do they go to make a living?
"Yes, Dad, for your grandson's sake, go and beg the fourth brother and sister!" An Zikang also knelt down.
"Dad, it's really not good, let Liu Mei out of anger to the fourth brother and sister! It's okay to kill it! Just tell her not to drive us away! An Zicheng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a good solution.
Liu Mei raised her head in disbelief, tears were pouring down, and she had lost weight in just two days.
"Master, I'm going to give you children, how can you do this to me? What happened to me selling that little slut? She's damned, who let Xia Qiyue beat us on the board! Moreover, the money for selling the child has been robbed by my mother, and I am running errands for my mother at best! ”
"Slut, mouth full of shit! When did I rob you of your money? As soon as Mrs. An heard this, she fried the pot and jumped up to deny that she had robbed the silver.
When the old man heard this, he felt a little Pu'er in his heart: "Take out the silver!" He stretched out his hand to the old woman and asked for money.
"Old man..."The old woman refused to give it, and she covered it to the death.
"If you want to stay at home, take out all the silver, and I'll send it to the fourth family to see if I can ask for mercy!"
As soon as An Zicheng heard this, he hurriedly urged his mother to take the silver, anyway, they didn't get any of them in the big house, and now it's just right to take it out to save their lives.
Lao An's wife reluctantly took out the silver, and then gave Lao An's head ten taels.
Lao An didn't know how much it was sold, so he thought it was sold for ten taels, which was also a normal price, but Liu Mei screamed that there were still ten taels.
Mrs. An finally gritted her teeth and took out all the twenty taels.
Lao An leaned his back and walked towards Xia Qiyue's house step by step with his hands behind his back.
At the same time, Yang Qiuju also secretly went out.
Xia Qiyue was told that when Lao An was at the gate of the house, he was distributing maids to the children.
She bought a total of eight this time, two children and four each.
The status of the four is equal, there is no big girl and two maids.
The main task of the eight people is to take care of the two children carefully and seriously, but they can't stretch out their hands on the food that the children are serving.
