The weather was fine for several days, and the road seemed a little dry. The carriage ran on it, making a sound of'gurgling', and a cloud of dust rose up behind it, which flew to block the waysiders want to spy on the faces of the people in the carriage.
Not long after she came out, Jin Jiuying heard footsteps on the side of the road. Yushou opened the curtain and looked out from the carriage window. It might be a pair of father and son, both dressed plainly, with trouser legs and sleeves rolled up a few times. Older The man carried a pair of baskets, which contained some vegetables and fruits.
The child followed and also carried a cloth bag. I don't know what was put, it was bulging, like some fruit.
The father and son Jin Jiuying knew each other. The man was Zhuangding and his son was Tietou. He was a special gift for officials and officials. He was almost responsible for the chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea in the Jin family’s kitchen.
That kid is more likable. Every time I come over, I will yell at Jin Jiuying's "Sister, Sister..." He ran away, leaving Tietou to go with his father, so the strong man could only go wherever he went, taking him with him.
Jin Jiuying sees him pitifully, and occasionally gives more pieces of silver. Of course, what kind of fruit she wants will also be called as a gift to the young man, so that he can earn a few more coppers, and Jin Jiuying can only help them so much. Because she doesn't have much silver.
Jin Zhe is a very picky person, giving her mother less than three taels of silver for a month, and naturally less for her a month.
Only Jin Jiumei, mother and son, are relatively wealthy. Her father gave them almost two-thirds of the salary of tens of taels a month, and the remaining one-third was divided into half. The rest is spent by dozens of other people in the house.
Jin Jiuying’s elder brother is also the mother of Jin Jiumei’s mother. Compared to Jin Jiumei and her mother, he is not disliked by them, but an absolute dude, that is, he will spend money. How much do you want to give him? Months, you can use overdraft in less than a day.
Jin Jiumei and her mother will also be tossing, a month of rouge gouache will spend a lot of silver, but these two people have fully confirmed the saying that you want to raise the beauty of the person. Both of them have good looks, but he Dad spent most of the money on them.
Jin Jiuying's mother was also known as the first beauty in the Shengyuan, but unfortunately, she was too saving, she didn't like makeup, and this kind of housework, she suffered humiliation at the house again, and she grew old quickly, and only a little bit of silver in a month. , Will still be reluctant to use it, they all say they want to buy a dowry for Jin Jiuying.
Seeing that she cared about her so much, Jin Jiuying couldn't tell the fact that she was not her daughter, and she couldn't bear to tell her that she wanted to escape from here and would not marry Ye Zhaoyang.
Although the dream will wake up sooner or later, it is good to do it for a while, even if it is fake.
So to help the father and son, she can only find another way.
The strong man sent to the officials and family members to deliver food for a month, and kept running around on this road every day, which was enough for them to eat a full meal, but the strong man wanted to have a good future for Tietou and wanted to find him. A master, who knows how to write, will test his fame or something in the future, so he won’t have to live his life in the future.
But for his insignificant income, eating was a problem. It was not enough to save money. In order to make him make more money, Jin Jiuying quarreled with Ye Zhaoyang for help, and asked the young man to choose some good dishes and send them to the palace every day.
There are requirements for the purchase of ingredients in the Imperial Palace, but as long as they meet their requirements, the price is higher than that of the officials. In fact, they are all vegetables grown in the ground, almost like that. It depends on whether you are connected or not. Some people match up. , I sent it to try and it was not bad.
Because of the introduction by Jin Jiuying, the father and son became the food delivery person of the palace very smoothly, which made them very grateful to Jin Jiuying.
Especially that kid, if he has any good things, he must keep some for her.
"Tietou..." Jin Jiuying opened the curtain a little, excitedly wanted to call the two father and son, but before calling out, Ye Mo covered her mouth, hugged her waist, and dragged her into the carriage. middle.
"What are you doing?" After sitting down, Jin Jiuying pulled Ye Mo's hand away and yelled at him angrily.
"If you don't want your life, then don't waste this king trying to help you." Ye Mo lowered his voice, attached to her ear, with a harsh tone, and at the same time opened the curtain by a corner, motioning her to look outside.
Sure enough, there were a few strangers who followed the young father and son outside. By looking at their slightly dark complexion, you could guess that it was Xue Yinfei's guard.
Only those people who have frontier fortresses and who have been exposed to wind and rain all the year round can have such a complexion.
"Ye Mo, there is one thing I really can't figure out. Why is Xue Yinfei so bold and always wants to catch me?"
Taking a look at the situation outside, Jin Jiuying finally couldn't bear it, and asked Ye Mo about the doubt in her heart.
Jin Jiuying was controlled by Ye Mo, and when she helped him check some things, she also secretly checked many things about him, naturally knowing that he was not rumors outside, so she was indifferent to national affairs.
On the contrary, he knows, cares and manages far more than those ministers in the court, and even today's saint Ye Zhi.
"This dynasty doesn't care about the affairs of the dynasty, and he doesn't know Xue Yinfei. I don't know what you are talking about."
Ye Mo didn't say anything, and even denied knowing Xue Yinfei.
This was a bit beyond Jin Jiuying's expectation, but he didn't care too much, after all, he didn't want people to know too many secrets about his Ye Mo.
"Don't lie to me, others don't know who you are, Ye Mo, but Jin Jiuying knows that you are not going to the court, but Bu himself came out to check something, but there is nothing that can fool you." Jin Jiuying was a little unhappy.
For other things, maybe if he didn't say anything, she just treated it as if she didn't ask, but this matter was too strange, and the most important thing was related to her.
"Don't rely on the name of the prince, no big or small, don't forget, this king is the prince's uncle, don't always call this king's name."
Ye Mo didn't answer Jin Jiuying's words, but he still investigated the matter of Jin Jiuying calling his name directly.
Jin Jiuying knew very well that he had deliberately changed the subject and did not want to answer her questions. As for his name, she always called him directly.
If there are no outsiders, she would never call him prince. This is not a question of respect, but Jin Jiuying is not used to these titles, and the call is smooth.
"Okay, you are noble, Jiuwangye, you can't afford to offend your nephew and daughter-in-law." Jin Jiuying was angry and didn't want to ask him again.
In fact, Ye Mo is not much different from Ye Zhaoyang, only an older generation, but Ye Zhaoyang usually respects him, and is much more polite to him than Jin Jiuying.
