Chapter 32: Lost and Found
When she entered the door, she saw A-Niang sitting on the couch in a daze, and there was a person dressed as a small maid and a hawker standing beside her.
The three of them turned around when they heard the sound, and only when they saw that Jiang Jin had come back did they move.
Jiang Lin stepped forward in a hurry, pressed his hands on Jiang Jin's arm and touched it repeatedly, muttering "It's okay."
Jiang Jin leaned over and patted her, "A-Niang is fine." ”
The others retreated with a look in their eyes, and only Jiang Jin and Jiang Lin were left in the room.
Jiang Jin took Jiang Lin and sat back on the couch, "What are you worried about?" In the future, when children go to the academy to study, it doesn't matter if there is a study room or not. ”
"It doesn't matter if the study burns down, you can buy books again, but the three boxes of books that I put in a few days ago are gone when they burn out."
"Auntie, it's still there." Jiang Jin picked up the teapot on the stove and poured it into the white teacup, "Qingshan goes out every day, so I asked him to take the books out, and now the books left by my grandfather are all in the north of the city." ”
Jiang Lin took the teacup and said, "You expected it a long time ago?" ”
"Not really." Jiang Jin told the truth, there is no need to hide these things from A-Niang, "I just thought that we would move out sooner or later, and it would be inconvenient to leave in a hurry when the time came, so I might as well move out earlier." ”
She drank the tea too, and before it could be brought to her mouth, a fragrant fragrance came from her mouth.
Jiang Jin couldn't help but feel a lot better, the spicy taste of the ginger diluted the sweetness of the red dates, and the fragrance of the tea was more mellow when mixed with the milk.
After freezing outside for a day, this pot of ginger jujube milk tea really dispelled the cold.
"A-Niang is really whimsical, she can combine red dates with tea."
"Don't make fun of me." Jiang Lin glanced at her with disgust, "You haven't said anything about today's exam, if you go to the academy to study in the future, this cross-academy study is not in a hurry to repair." ”
They are sojourners, and although they are the only ones living in the West Courtyard, this courtyard is not very large.
There is only one main room, Jiang Lin's family lives, two ear rooms Jiang Jin lives in one, and the other is the study, as well as the kitchen and the room where the subordinates live, all of which are so big that they are all occupied.
Now that the study has burned down, they must repair it, and they can't wait for Jiang Yuanze to repair it.
And now the silver in the house can be counted on two fingers.
Counting the five taels of silver won by the gambling house and the five taels of silver sent by Jiang Wei's clan, and some more spent during the period, they all had less than eight taels left.
However, it was much better than the original state, and at that time, I couldn't even make up the bundle of two taels of silver.
It's just that this silver, I'm afraid I can't even repair a roof.
Jiang Lin seemed to know what Jiang Jin was thinking, "But before we leave, we still have to fix it for your uncle, of course, Brother Jin doesn't have to think about the silver two, you just need to study with peace of mind." ”
"The child knows."
Jiang Jin obediently responded, she carefully rummaged through the potatoes on the stove with her eyelashes, "A-Niang has thought about doing some business?" ”
"I've thought about it, but you need a business status to do business, although you can also take the exam with a business status in this dynasty, but it is not good for your future career."
"It's just a business, it's not a business."
Jiang Lin said with a smile, "The remaining silver taels in the family are barely enough to hand over the things of your academy and buy them. ”
Jiang Jin handed out the artichoke in his hand, "Money is dead, people are alive, besides, the child is not a fool, if you want money, the child goes to the casino to win one hundred and eighty taels." ”
"What do you want to do when you're going to study?" Jiang Lin poked her forehead with his hand with some anger, "I know that you are for the good of A-Niang, but the important thing now is to study hard, and go to the casino less." ”
Jiang Jin held his forehead and pouted, "Okay, well, the children listen to A-Niang." ”
She also peeled off the skin of the artichoke and bit it carefully, it was soft and hot, and it was really a happiness to eat this in winter.
What A-Niang said is not unreasonable.
If you want to buy and sell, you first need to have capital.
In fact, it is not bad to open a teahouse, making tea around the stove in winter and turning it into a cold drink in summer.
But the pavement, cost, and labor all cost silver taels, and time is also a problem, and she can't wait that long.
This tea shop is not as simple as the chaos stall under the mountain gate.
It is said that the chaos stall really makes a lot of money today, but this money can be earned once or twice a year, and there will definitely be other competitors after a long time.
Really, you need money for everything......
She said a lot of comforting words to A-Niang.
It was also because of this incident that she no longer worried that A-Niang was alone
Night.
Jiang Jin did not close the window and light the lamp, she was surrounded by charcoal fire and moonlight.
Leaning lazily against the window, looking up at the round moon hanging in the air, it really looks like a white jade plate.
"Young Master."
The soft shout pulled Jiang Jin's thoughts back.
She rubbed her wistful eyes and looked at the person approaching the window from outside the door.
"Good work."
Qingshan pursed his lips, "The weather is cold, how can you open the window, but you are still thinking about the day?" ”
"Sort of."
Jiang Jin's voice was a little nasal, she pulled back the sleeve that had fallen outside, and looked up at Qingshan dimly, "You have been busy for a long time, come in and be warm." ”
"Okay."
Qingshan lowered his eyes, reached for the pole supporting the window, and the slender and backbone hands, some of which had been sharpened rough, were placed on the quaint pole and were illuminated by the moonlight, looking quite secure.
The moment the window was closed, there was only a faint glow from the charcoal fire in the room.
There was the sound of curtains grinding against the doorway, and the creak of the wooden door closing.
"Why don't you light the lamp?"
The clear voice fell, and the room lit up.
Jiang Jin squinted his eyes, and saw Qingshan squatting and fiddling with the charcoal fire in the basin after lighting the lampstand.
His superior jawline makes it a warm yellow for the charcoal fire, and it's impossible to ignore the curvature of the corners of his lips.
Jiang Jin looked away and stared at the paper on the kang table, "It's nothing." ”
Qingshan didn't say much, "Young Master, I think we need to pay more attention to Mama Jiang." ”
He put away his smile, "Li Lai's sister is Mama Jiang's daughter-in-law, and Li Lai has always wanted her to leave." ”
"Mama Jiang?" Jiang Jin picked up the pen and paused, "Are you separated now?" ”
Qingshan shook his head, "Mama Jiang gave her a letter to release her wife, but her sister didn't leave." ”
"Why?"
Jiang Jin frowned incomprehensibly.
"It seems to be to save Li Lai, I guess it was Mama Jiang who said something."
Aoyama's face was not very good.
He also needs to train his men on the right track as soon as possible.
Every time I listen to the news, there is only about half of it, which is really disadvantageous.
Jiang Jin's brows relaxed, "I can understand, this Mama Jiang is a white wolf with empty gloves, using my sister to let my brother ruin my future, and then using my brother to contain my sister, so despicable." ”
She hooked her lips and rubbed her fingers against the barrel of the pen, "It's just that she's a servant, and she doesn't have to be ordered, isn't it a little outrageous?" ”
"What does the young master mean, is it the old lady?"
Jiang Jin hesitated a little, but still nodded, "It's just a guess now, the hands and feet are too clean, and we can't do anything yet." ”
She's still betting on a possibility.
If Lu Huangnian took care of this matter, how would he explain it to her?
"Moreover, I suspect that Peach's affairs have nothing to do with her."
Qingshan also became solemn, "Taohong only came into contact with Mama Gu before her death. ”
Mama Gu?
Jiang Jin thought of the recent abnormal Mama Gu, and some outrageous thoughts also popped up in his heart.
She thought for a moment, then put pen to paper on the paper, "You say, what will happen if the private measurement of this back house is spread out in the sun?" ”
"Self is useless."
"That's great, if you want a fish to take the bait, you have to have enough bait."
