Chapter 51: The Unlucky Jiang Family
……
At the Jiang family in Qingya Village, Jiang Fuyi walked limping in the yard with a cane, his face full of anxiety.
It didn't take long for Liu and Chen to return.
"How's it going, old woman? Got a carriage hired? Jiang Fuyi hurriedly asked.
"Hired!" Liu nodded: "A carriage, an ox cart, people try to squeeze into the carriage as much as possible, and put things on the ox cart." ”
"Dad, we have made an appointment with the people from the car dealership, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, they will come to Qingya Village to pick us up." Chen on the side hurriedly said.
"That's good." Jiang Fuyi nodded when he heard this.
He looked at the house where he had lived for many years, and he didn't have a souvenir, and he wanted to leave early.
In the past two months, many strange things have happened to their Jiang family, first the second son Jiang Minghe broke his leg when he went up the mountain to pick tea, and then ...... When the eldest grandson went to the big pond at the east end of the village to swim in the water, his calf suddenly cramped and he almost drowned.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many people in the village during the day, and the children who were drinking water with him begged for help, his eldest grandson Changsong would probably be more than lucky.
However, even if the child has picked up a life, because he choked too much water and coughed for a long time and has not healed, Changsong still occasionally coughs twice until now.
There is also himself, more than a month ago, he suddenly had an abscess on his foot, and it was good and long, and it didn't break the root, it hurt and was uncomfortable, it was too torturous.
His granddaughter Jiang Qiurong went up to the mountain with the little sisters in the village half a month ago to collect honey, but everyone else was fine, but she was stung with a full head, and she didn't get better with medicine, and she was disfigured nine times out of ten.
In addition, his wife fell while walking in the yard a few days ago, her leg was fine, and her arm was broken.
There is also the second daughter-in-law, Chen, who almost cut off her fingers when she was cooking in the stove room at the beginning of this month.
All members of the family, except for the youngest grandson, Changbai, were injured or sick.
To be exact, even Changbai was not spared, because this kid has been wrestling a lot in the past two months, often with a blue nose and swollen face, and nosebleeds, which was rare in the past.
The boy was naughty, and even though the two brothers had been hurt before, it would never be so often.
What Jiang Fuyi couldn't accept the most was that the five hundred taels of silver that his eldest son Jiang Mingtao asked them to give them, he had obviously locked it up and hidden it, but many of them were still missing.
Ten taels less today, ten taels less tomorrow......
Even if he changed many places to hide, the silver became less and less.
Recalling many things that happened before, Jiang Fuyi was very scared, he asked a fairy girl to come over and help take a look at it two days ago, although they couldn't find the crux of it, but they told him that his house was a bit evil, and after coming in, people were a little breathless, maybe there were unclean things.
Jiang Fuyi was immediately frightened, and did not send someone to contact his eldest son Jiang Mingtao, who was far away in the capital, and planned to take the family directly to him.
The son has been cheated to death for so many years, he has been a big official in the capital, he eats and drinks spicy food, and he can give them five hundred taels of silver casually, which shows how comfortable that kid is.
Also, the son married a noble daughter as a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to two grandchildren and a granddaughter, and he had never seen those three children, of course he wanted to see them.
The son didn't dare to look for them before, because Ye Miaoyun and their mother and daughter were here, and now, the mother and daughter are no longer the Jiang family, he sent someone to inquire, Ye Miaoyun has remarried, and her granddaughter Jiang Xianya is also an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, the Jiang family has raised her for so many years and raised her to adulthood, she actually changed her surname to "Ye".
From now on, the mother and daughter have nothing to do with their Jiang family, and they can't affect their son's future, they can go to the capital to join their son.
As the saying goes, filial piety comes first.
He didn't believe that after they went, his son and daughter-in-law would be able to drive them out!
The son has become a big official, and he always has to help the second child, and he will definitely be able to help the second child find a good job in the capital.
There are also grandchildren Changsong and Changbai, with the help of the uncle, they will definitely be able to go to the best academy, and in the future, they will also be able to take the examination and be promoted, enter the court as officials, and glorify their ancestors.
Not to mention the granddaughter Jiang Qiurong, with the eldest uncle who is an official, she will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future.
If they continue to stay in Qingya Village, Qiu Rong can only marry a Zhuang family, and when they arrive in the capital, everything will be different.
Jiang Fuyi was full of longing, and before dawn on the second day, he stood at the entrance of the village and waited for the carriage.
From Qingya Village to the capital, it costs fifty taels of silver to charter a carriage and thirty taels of silver for an ox cart, although Jiang Fuyi is very distressed, he can look forward to it when he thinks that he can finally leave this unfortunate place and go to his son to live a life of mastery.
Shortly after daybreak, the family got into a wagon and ox cart and set off.
……
Compared with Jiang Fuyi and them, Ye Xianya and the others were much calmer, everyone still got up after dawn, and only got into the carriage after breakfast.
In addition to the two carriages that the Ye family rented in the car dealership, Qi Chengshuo prepared three carriages out of his own pocket, the purpose of which was to make everyone more relaxed and comfortable.
Anyway, the emperor has already issued a decree to pardon Uncle Jiu, and he can help Uncle Jiu as much as he wants now.
Qi Jiu wanted to ride in the same carriage with Ye Miaoyun, but Ye Miaoyun refused, she pulled her daughter Ye Xianya and got into the last carriage.
Qi Jiu was a little depressed, and reached out to pat Qi Chengshuo's shoulder: "It seems that ...... We can only make do with our uncle and nephew. ”
Qi Chengshuo glanced at Qi Jiu when he heard this, and said calmly: "I'm not used to riding a carriage, let's ride a horse, just to protect Uncle Jiu." ”
Qi Jiu was about to open his mouth to persuade a few words, but Qi Chengshuo had already turned over and got on the horse.
"This stinky boy actually dislikes me!" Qi Qijiu stretched out his hand and sniffed his sleeve, and then pulled the placket and sniffed it, it was obviously quite fragrant.
He used lard soap made by his daughter-in-law, which was washed clean last night, and the clothes were also new, and there was the fragrance of soaphorns on it, what did the stinky boy dislike?
The group slowly got on the road, and after arriving at the county seat, they entered the official road.
In her memory, Ye Miaoyun had never been far away, and she was different from the past, so she felt very novel along the way, and from time to time she lifted the small curtain on the left side of the carriage and looked out.
"I heard that my butt hurts when I ride in a carriage for a long time, so I sewed a few big mats overnight, two of which were given to your grandfather and grandmother, and the rest were put on the carriage we sat in, which was pretty good, but I didn't feel any pain in my butt." Ye Miaoyun patted the thick mat she had made and said with a smile.
