"He also said that the reason his father died early was because his mother ignored him and let his father get infected with Wu Shi San."
Jiang Cheng was also very angry when he thought of this: "I think Zhang Yukun is crazy. If he wasn't in mourning, I would have wanted to beat him up for my aunt."
Yingbao was thinking about something else while eating an apple.
Now that my uncle is dead, the custody of Zhang Xiaolang should completely belong to my aunt.
But what if the concubine often comes to make trouble using this excuse
The brother and sister talked for a while, and Jiang Cheng asked Jiang Yingbao to look after the shop while he went to buy the braised meat.
Hu Zi also followed, clamoring to eat roasted lamb.
Jiang Wu originally wanted to go, but when he turned around and saw his sister sitting alone in the shop, he turned back and sat with his sister.
Earlier, Master Zhou and his first and second apprentices dropped Yingbao off and returned to the medical office, so there were only the two siblings in the shop.
Yingbao took out some vegetables from the cave and put them in a basket, then spoke to her brother.
"Xiao Wu, remember, don't try to be brave in the future. If Master hadn't led his troops to arrive in time, Hu Zi and many other people would not have survived."
She and her brother might be able to escape the disaster, but Hu Zi could not.
The book in my mind mentioned the fall of Jingzhou, saying that the family of Magistrate Zhang and all the people in the city were killed. The barbarians did not even spare the children. Only a few young and beautiful women were taken away by them, but the final outcome was also tragic.
Jiang Wu scratched his head: "Well, I understand."
"When you get home, you must read for two hours every day and read more of the strategies and tactics I gave you."
On the way back from Jingzhou, Yingbao bought a lot of books and finally found two books on military strategy.
In fact, the really good books are collected by the wealthy families and left for their descendants to read, and they are not willing to show them to others easily.
So it is not easy to buy good books in bookstores.
However, there are quite a few storybooks in the bookstore, most of which are folk romance stories, as well as martial arts novels, and ghost stories.
She bought quite a few of these, all of which she had never seen before.
Of course, she would not show it to her younger brothers, so as not to lead them astray.
Jiang Wu nodded repeatedly. "I read it every day." He didn't like studying, but he loved reading books on military strategy. On the way back, he read for a long time.
It was a pity that the book was too thin and he finished it very quickly.
Not long after, Jiang Cheng and Hu Zi came back with several bags of braised dishes.
He said to his little cousin, "I've asked the restaurant to prepare a table of food, which will be delivered shortly."
Yingbao nodded, took the braised dish from her eldest cousin, went to the kitchen to get a few large bowls, and put the cut braised meat, chicken and goose in the bowls.
Jiang Wu and Hu Zi went to the backyard to fetch the dining table and placed it in front of the shop.
At this time, the sun is setting in the west, and there is shade in front of the shop with the door facing east, so it is cool and bright to eat there.
Jiang Cheng went home again and brought his wife and children back.
Qiu Rong held her eldest son Jiang Dali's hand with one hand, covered her belly with the other hand, and greeted Yingbao: "Yingbao has grown so tall."
Yingbao grinned at her and said, "Sister-in-law." She then bent down and picked up her little nephew.
The chubby two-year-old nephew stared at her for a while with his big eyes blinking. Then, under the guidance of his parents, he called out in a baby voice, "Auntie."
Yingbao held him and turned around, and felt that he was really heavy, so she wanted to put him down, "You are really heavy, I can't hold you anymore."
But Dali clung to his aunt and refused to get down. He wrapped his fat arms around her neck and tried to bend his legs.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng smiled and took his son over, patting his little butt: "Auntie is not strong enough to hold you, come, let's eat."
When Dali heard about eating, he immediately turned his attention to the dining table.
Not long after, the restaurant's meal arrived, which included ten dishes and a bucket of freshly steamed rice.
The table included fish, meat, stir-fried dishes, cakes, and a pot of rice wine.
Jiang Cheng poured a glass for each of his brothers and sisters, "This is rice wine, try it, how is it different from the one we brew at home?"
Yingbao picked it up and took a bite, but didn't notice anything different.
Hu Zi and Jiang Wu took a sip of the drink while eating the meat. It tasted sweet and a little sour.
"It's not as fragrant as our rice wine." Hu Zi said. The Jiang family also brewed rice wine, but they kept it for their own consumption and could not sell it outside.
Because you have to buy a liquor license from the government to sell liquor, no matter how good your business is, the annual taxes are terrifying.
Jiang Wu was not interested in rice wine and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, so he didn't express his opinion and just focused on eating meat.
The only person who has the same hobby as him is Jiang Dali.
I saw him picking up a chicken leg and gnawing on it until his face was covered in oil.
While they were eating, Jiang Yunniang came back with her daughter Hongxiao.
Upon seeing this, Yingbao hurried to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks and served rice to her aunt and Hongxiao.
Jiang Yunniang's eyes were red. She sat down at the table, holding the bowl but was reluctant to move her chopsticks.
Hongxiao was very hungry and started eating by himself.
Jiang Cheng picked up some food for his aunt: "Has anyone from the Zhang family come?"
Jiang Yunniang: "Zhang Jia's eldest brother and his family are here."
Hong Xiao said as she was eating rice: "They came and chased my mother away."
Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "Aunt, since the Zhang family is like this, you don't have to go to the funeral tomorrow."
Jiang Yunniang's tears fell.
After dinner, people from the restaurant came to clean up the dishes and took them back, and my eldest cousin's wife also took her son home.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Cheng closed the shop.
Yingbao and Jiang Wu stood at the door and looked in the direction of the county school, and saw students coming out in groups of three or four.
Finally, a short figure came out from inside and ran straight towards this side.
"Jiang Jie!" Jiang Wu shouted and rushed towards him. The two hugged each other and laughed.
Jiang Jie carried a blue cloth schoolbag in one hand and put his arm around his brother's neck with the other, and the two walked up to Yingbao.
"Sister, you're back. Mom and Dad were so worried. If they hadn't been unable to hire a boat, they would have gone to Jingzhou to look for you and Jiang Wu."
Yingbao said nothing and took the blue cloth schoolbag from his hand. "Hurry up and eat. The food is warming in the pot."
"Yeah." Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu ran to the kitchen.
Yingbao looked in the direction of the county school again and saw that the students had left one after another, and she didn't see Chen Changping, so she couldn't help but feel surprised.
Jiang Cheng put the door panel on and went home. Yingbao walked into the yard and closed the gate.
Xiao Hei wagged his tail and barked at her a few times, then used his front paws to dig at the food bowl in front of him.
Yingbao untied its rope and took it to the kitchen.
While eating, Jiang Jie listened to his brother and Hu Zi talking about things in Jingzhou. When he heard the thrilling parts, his eyes widened in amazement and he even forgot to eat.
Hu Zi said proudly: "I hit several bandits with my slingshot, making them scream. Jiang Wu also hit several. We worked together perfectly and saved several soldiers."
"Really? Those people didn't come to beat you?" Jiang Jie asked.
"How come there aren't any?" Hu Zi said, "A group of barbarians rushed over with machetes, but Ying Bao smashed them to death with a big stone as big as a millstone..."
Jiang Jie's eyes opened wider, and just as he was about to ask for clarification, he saw his sister take out an apple and stuff it into Hu Zi's mouth.
"Stop talking, let Jiang Jie eat quickly. Can't you see that Dahei is getting angry?"
Dahei was circling under the table, staring at his little master, waiting to feed him after he had finished eating.
