Chapter 18: Change of Mind
Tao Qiqi sighed and replied: "This is the heart of the poor parents in the world!" Okay, mother, don't follow the thoughts, today I finally have a stable place to rest, hurry up and go to bed. ”
Then Tao Qiniang hugged left and right, and led Tao Qiqi to sleep with Fang Yu.
There was no one in the next room, and Mrs. Jiang, who was supposed to be sleeping there, was still sitting in the courtyard looking at her son's door.
One is worried, and the other is that he wants his son to be able to take one last look at him when he goes out tomorrow morning.
At this time, although Nangong Ye was already lying down, his eyes were still open, staring at the ceiling and thinking about Tao Qiqi's words just now.
When they were struggling, Chang Wu and Chang Ning happened to come back from outside, looked at the lady in the courtyard, and then knocked on Jiang Ye's door.
"Childe, are you sleeping?"
Jiang Yeying, who was in the room, said, "I didn't sleep, come in." ”
Then Chang Wu pushed the door in, closed the door, Chang Wu did not report directly but reminded softly: "Son, Mrs. is still in the yard." ”
Jiang Ye replied slowly: "I know." How's things going over there? ”
Chang Ning: "Back to Gongzi, after running around, only the county order of Fengchuan showed up, and in the end, although he promised to lend us troops, he could not borrow more than 100 people at most. ”
(Note: According to Dayong's law, the local county garrison generally only ranges from 300 to 500 people, which is stipulated according to the local population. )
"More than 100 people, plus our own, are only about 300 people. It is indeed an egg hitting a stone. ”
"In fact, at this time, everyone is very smart and does not want to get involved in this turmoil. No matter who you help, you will end up offending people. If you don't help, you don't offend anyone. ”
Speaking of this, Chang Wu simply had the courage to continue:
"Actually, there is no need for Childe to get involved at all. Du'an is a necessary place to travel from the south to the north, and judging from what happened in Du'an City last time, it doesn't make much sense for Childe to stop him now.
And Childe has always disliked scrambling. Although I feel sorry for the people this time, my heart is good, but if Childe appears there, it is equivalent to creating two enemies for himself at once. Pay for one's whistle. ”
After listening to Chang Wu's words, Jiang Ye said slowly: "Okay, I know, you go back to the room to rest first." ”
"That young man ......" Chang Wu wanted to ask if he wanted to go back to Du'an tomorrow, but he was dragged out of the room by Chang Ning before he finished speaking.
As soon as he got out of the room, Chang Wu couldn't help but complain: "Why are you pulling me, it was a good time just now." I didn't see that Childe wasn't angry at my words! ”
Chang Ning: "I'm not angry now, but if you keep talking, Childe is really angry, then what you just said will be in vain." Maybe Childe can still think about it. ”
Mrs. Jiang, who was still in the courtyard, looked at Chang Wu and Chang Ning who came out and asked, "What's wrong with you two?" ”
Chang Ning replied: "It's okay, Childe told us to go back to the house early to sleep." Madame, why haven't you slept yet? ”
"Oh, oh, I, I'm getting ready to go to sleep." Mrs. Jiang said, worried that Chang Wu and Chang Ning would see her worries, and then walked to her house.
Just as she was about to push the door in, Jiang Ye's voice sounded behind her: "Mother! ”
Mrs. Jiang heard her son's voice, turned around and looked at him walking towards her, and then said nervously: "Ah Ye, why are you up?" Do you want to ......?"
"Mother, the child thought about it and decided not to go back!! The child took his mother to find his uncle, and then we went to the place where we belonged as a family and lived the rest of our life quietly. ”
After listening to her son's words, Mrs. Jiang was very happy in her heart, but she understood her son's heart, so she still tried to ask: "But what do you want to do!" ”
"Just now, Mr. Peach woke up the child with a sentence. The child figured it out, it's better to ignore the things that can't be managed!! ”
After listening to her son's words, Mrs. Jiang couldn't stop crying.
And Tao Qiqi, who had just come out of the space to meditate, happened to hear the conversation between their mother and son, and when she heard what Nangong Ye said, Tao Qiqi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, turned around, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
It's a pity that I can only sleep in such a good bed today, and tomorrow will be a new day of escape.
******
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Fang Yu was about to get up and cook, but Tao Qiqi said, "Xiaoyu, clean up, we should continue to escape today." ”
Fang Yu looked puzzled: "Huh??" Didn't you say that you want to accompany Mrs. Jiang here? ”
"No need, Jiang Gongzi shouldn't have to go out, let's continue our life of escaping from the wilderness."
Hearing this, Fang Yu felt a little lost: "I thought I could rest here." ”
Tao Qi Niang on the side smiled and comforted: "Silly girl, anyway, sooner or later we will continue to hurry, it is not better to get to the place early and find a suitable place to settle down as soon as possible." ”
Fang Yu thought about it, felt that this was indeed the case, nodded, and helped Tao Qi Niang pack everyone's luggage together.
As soon as Tao Qiqi went out, he saw Mrs. Jiang walking towards him with a happy face, "Tao Gongzi, last night Ah Ye temporarily decided not to go out." After Ah Ye's injuries were healed, we set off to continue south. Thank you, if it weren't for you......"
Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.
Seeing this, Tao Qiqi hurriedly smiled and said, "That's not very good, the most important thing is to be together as a family." ”
After the words fell, Chang Wu walked over: "Peach boy, our son invites you to come over." ”
Tao Qiqi: "What is he looking for me?" ”
"I don't know."
"Okay, then I'll go over." Tao Qiqi said and walked towards Jiang Ye's room.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the familiar box on the table again.
Before Tao Qiqi asked Jiang Ye what he was looking for, Jiang Ye saw Tao Qiqi come in and pushed the box towards her, and then said, "This is for you." ”
"What do you mean?" Tao Qiqi asked suspiciously.
"This is what was promised to you before."
"But aren't you going now?"
"Yes, I'm not leaving, but I'm the one who defaults first, so these should be considered compensation for you."
"This was originally my reward after I completed the deed, but now you have given me as liquidated damages, so I will get two thousand taels of silver for nothing I have done. Aren't you a blood loss in this trade? ”
"It seems to you, but I don't think so, and if it weren't for your words, maybe I would have taken you out of here. Whether or not this departure can be returned is another matter. So, that's a thank you as well. ”
"I can't find an excuse to say no. Although we said that our deal was not completed, it was you who breached the contract first, but I didn't lose anything, my family not only ate a solid meal from you last night, but also slept here.
As for what you just said, okay, I accept your thanks, and these are almost the same, and my word is worth a lot of money. Tao Qiqi said and took out two ingots of silver (200 taels) from the box, and pushed the rest back to Jiang Ye.
Seeing that Tao Qiqi only received two hundred taels, Jiang Ye was more curious about Tao Qiqi.
He willingly gave her the money, and explained the reason, and she could take it all as she could.
Unexpectedly, she only needed five hundred taels in the end.
"Since Peach Gongzi has said so, then it's up to you. But I don't know if Peach Boy is interested in going south with us. ”
