Jiang Yunzhu thought carefully, indeed, he had asked her, what was her answer then? She forgot, but she just liked him anyway.
Why is he asking this question again now? Could it be that the Qilin Guards also conduct a part-time survey on the happiness of the people
She considered it for a moment and said, "I like it. It's a bit hard now, but it will get better in the future."
Shen Fengming stared at her closely, as if looking into her heart.
Jiang Yunzhu quickly put on a sincere look. She really felt that the present was better than in the Anping Marquis Mansion in her dream. At least she was a free person now. Freedom is something that you only know how precious it is when you lose it.
"Miss Jiang, do you want to go to the capital with us?" Yang Sheng, who had been listening at the side, asked hurriedly.
Without waiting for Jiang Yunzhu to answer, he said, "You haven't been to the capital yet. The capital is very lively and prosperous. The maple leaves of the White Horse Temple, the bright moon of Changsong Bridge, the willow trees of the Bian River, and the lotus flowers of Zhangyuntai are all unique.
There is also beef from Yuanxingju, steamed buns from Liji, and pork elbow from Hongyanlou. I guarantee you will want more after trying them.”
The beef at Yuanxingju is indeed delicious. In the dream, Jiang Yunzhu and Lin Ting'an had been to Beijing several times and had eaten the beef there. Thinking about it now, her mouth was watering.
If she had the chance, she would go to the capital, but would she go with Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming? Forget it.
She shook her head.
Yang Sheng was dumbfounded. In his opinion, wouldn’t it be a thousand times better to follow them to the capital than to stay in this poor mountain village
The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu went to the stall to sell breakfast as usual.
She made a lot more stew and pie today.
The customers who didn't buy the meat pancakes yesterday came earlier today. After buying the meat pancakes, they ate them with spicy soup, which was a great pleasure in life!
However, Jiang Yunzhu looked straight up the mountain. Ordinary guests could not finish all the meat pancakes today. Would Deputy General Zhao and his men not come to eat today
As she was thinking, a man came over there. It was the long-faced soldier from yesterday.
"It seems a little early today." Jiang Yunzhu greeted him with a smile.
"I'm afraid the boss's meat pie will sell out too quickly and I won't be able to buy one. I'll be scolded when I go back." The long-faced soldier sighed.
He was scolded yesterday. There were 19 meat pies for eight people, and no one was full.
"There will be plenty of meat pancakes today," said Jiang Yunzhu.
The long-faced soldier smiled and said, "Forty please, and ten bowls of spicy soup."
There were two more guests than yesterday. Jiang Yunzhu was happy and prepared food for him together with Chen.
After everything was packed, the long-faced soldier took out a piece of paper and a few silver coins, "This is the meal we ordered for lunch. The amount of silver is written on the dishes. By the way, boss, will you sell meals tonight?" he asked.
Deputy General Zhao and his men had such delicious food at noon, and it was really hard to swallow the bland soup in the cafeteria at night. In fact, he wanted to ask the long-faced soldier to ask Jiang Yuzhu about this matter yesterday, but he forgot about it in his busyness.
"We're just selling food for trial operation now. We won't sell it at night yet. Wait a few days until we have everything prepared. Otherwise it would be terrible if something goes wrong." Jiang Yunzhu said.
She spoke politely and her words made sense, so the long-faced soldier naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her.
"Then wait until one night when we start selling food, and be sure to tell him," he just said.
"Sure." Jiang Yunzhu agreed.
The long-faced soldier thought of something again, "What did the boss say to our deputy general last time about two meat dishes and one vegetable dish?" This is what he wanted to eat. His monthly salary was not as much as Deputy General Zhao's, but watching Deputy General Zhao eat every day and just smelling the food made him feel uncomfortable, so he asked about this matter.
The last time I heard from Jiang Yunzhu, this set meal didn't seem expensive.
"This will also take a few days." Jiang Yunzhu apologized.
"Okay." Wait.
Seeing that he looked a little disappointed, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly thought, "What dish would you like to eat at noon? I'll give you one at noon."
"How can I feel embarrassed?" The long-faced soldier said with a look of surprise on his face.
"You run around and it's very hard, this is my little token of appreciation." Jiang Yunzhu said. The long-faced soldier took care of her business every day. Although he didn't buy it, he handled it. If he wanted to make things difficult for her, she would have a hard time.
Give him some sweet treats, it will be good for everyone.
The long-faced soldier pushed twice more before happily agreeing.
After agreeing on a lunch delivery time, he picked up his things and turned to leave. Suddenly, he remembered something, turned back and said to Jiang Yunzhu in a low voice, "Girl, it's not easy for you, I have something to tell you, go home early after selling lunch today!"
"What?" Jiang Yunzhu was stunned.
"I also heard that they are going to send people down the mountain to arrest those suspicious people today." said the long-faced soldier.
Wang Bin was really afraid of Shen Fengming. He searched the entire mine yesterday but didn't find anyone suspicious. However, he was still worried and decided to search the foot of the mountain today.
Jiang Yunzhu's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said, "Thank you very much. I will definitely go back early today."
The long-faced soldier then left with a smile.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at his back, hesitating whether to tell Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng about this. Changshi Village was very close to the mine, and the defenders might search there as well.
As for what would happen ten days later, she thought that since she couldn't defeat them, she would try to keep things as they were. On the day of the beginning of winter, she would trick the villagers into going to the county town to escape the disaster.
In this case, we have to think about what would happen to Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming if she hadn't come to Changshi Village. They might stay in the village, but they might not stay for too long. Or maybe they would live in the village, after all, there was wilderness all around.
Jiang Yunzhu couldn't judge, and finally she thought of one thing, why should she make the decision, she just needed to tell Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming the news. People's choices are sometimes life, let them choose, then the result will most likely be the same as in the dream.
Having made up her mind, she hurried back. When she was selling Huo La Tang, she always filled the cups to the brim for the customers, almost to the point of overflowing. In addition, the long-faced soldiers bought a lot, so they were selling very quickly today.
Half a quarter of an hour before noon, they had sold out all the food.
As expected, Xu Qingshan did not come today, so Jiang Yunzhu, Chen and others packed up and went home.
When she got home, she first looked towards the side room. Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming were there, and no one knew what they were talking about.
This morning, Yang Sheng just got up when he heard two long and two short bird calls. He immediately got up and followed the sound to the valley behind the village. There were dozens of guards in tight uniforms. When they came to him, they all dismounted and knelt down, saying, "I am here to see the deputy commander."
The guards of Qilin Guard have arrived, and some things need to be done.
Jiang Yunzhu naturally didn't know this, so she gently knocked on the door of the side room with her fingers.
Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming noticed her when she entered the yard and had already stopped talking.
Yang Sheng opened the door. "Good morning, Miss Jiang," he said with a smile.
"Good morning. It's like this, I have another list today, and I'd like to trouble you to help me see what's written on it." Jiang Yunzhu handed Yang Sheng the note that the long-faced soldier gave her in the morning.
This was just a small matter. Yang Sheng took the note and said, "Captain Zhou, three coins of silver for boiled meat; Deputy Captain Pang, four coins of silver for a chicken; Captain Fei..." There were eight items in total written on the note.
Yang Sheng finished reading, "Do you remember it? Otherwise, I'll read it to you again."
Jiang Yunzhu didn't need to remember it at all, she could read. But she still followed the advice.
Yang Sheng read it to her again, and she said she had memorized it. "Thank you!" she said.
"You're too polite." Yang Sheng said.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled, and suddenly remembered something and said to him, "If you two merchants go out these two days, you must be careful. I heard today that some bad guys seemed to have been found in Wuling Mine, and they are going to search the mountain today.
It seems that even the market at the foot of the mountain and even the village are being searched. So when I heard the news, I hurried back to avoid any trouble."
After hearing this, Yang Sheng still had a smile on his face, but there was something different in his eyes.
"I see. Thank you Miss Jiang for the reminder," he said.
"No need. I'll go make breakfast." Jiang Yunzhu smiled, turned around and went into the kitchen.
With the door closed, Yang Sheng said to Shen Fengming, "What should we do?" Searching the mountain, that Wang Bin is really capable of making trouble.
Wang Bin was not one to be troubled. He was really afraid of Shen Fengming.
"The more he acts like this, the less we should show up and let him lose his composure," said Shen Fengming.
"I thought so too." Yang Sheng replied, "What about us now?"
"Let's leave here first." So as not to implicate the Jiang family.
"Leave here?" Yang Sheng frowned. He didn't want to leave at all.
"Fengming." He looked at Shen Fengming and had a lot to say to him.
Shen Fengming looked at him, his eyes still cold.
Yang Sheng let out a breath. He didn't want to say anything anymore. Forget it. Let's leave first. It would be better to resolve this matter quickly. He could come back later.
Jiang Yunzhu made two bowls of noodles for Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming today. She used the soup left over from the bone soup pot in the morning. She kneaded the noodles just right, rolled them into sheets, cut them into strips of even thickness, and put them into the soup pot to cook.
Add some fresh green vegetables, sprinkle some chopped green onions and a few drops of sesame oil after serving, and this bowl of noodles will be full of flavor.
Yang Sheng ate the noodles in big mouthfuls. The noodles were chewy and the soup was rich. He really didn't want to leave.
Shen Fengming didn't eat as fast as he did, but he ate quickly too.
At this time, Chen had also prepared breakfast for the Jiang family. They sat together as a family. Although they ate coarse bread and grains, everyone had a smile on their face when they talked about how much money they had earned at the market today.
After dinner, Chen cleaned up the dishes and Jiang Yunzhu prepared to go to town to buy vegetables. At this time, Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming came out of the side room with bags in their hands.
"Two merchants?" Chen was surprised.
"Let's go to other villages to check out the situation and wait for the guys to come so that we can collect grain together." Yang Sheng continued with his lie about collecting grain, and what he said was quite reasonable.
Chen nodded, as she should, "Then will you come back?"
"Come back. I have paid a deposit for the grain in the village, but I haven't collected it yet. Once everything is done, I will come back to collect it." Yang Sheng said with a smile.
That’s right. “Then be careful on your way. If you have no place to stay when you come back, you can stay at my house.” Chen said politely.
"Okay." That's what Yang Sheng thought.
Chen was stunned. He was too unceremonious.
Jiang Yunzhu raised her eyebrows. What was he doing back then? Was he really going to collect a few carts of food and bring them back to the capital? Did the Qilin Guards always do things in such a thorough manner
But she remembered something, and hurried back to the house, took out something and handed it to Yang Sheng, "You are leaving now, and I don't know if we will have the chance to see each other again in the future, so I'll return the silver to you."
It was the five taels of silver that Yang Sheng had given her before. He said it was for food money, but all in all, the food they had to eat and stay here only cost about three hundred dollars. How could she ask them for five taels of silver
As for the change, the entire wealth of the Jiang family was not enough for 4 taels and 7 cents.
"We'll have a chance to meet again, and then you can continue to cook for us." Yang Sheng said, refusing to take the silver.
"Then give it to me then." Jiang Yunzhu stuffed the silver directly into his hand.
"No..." Yang Sheng hesitated as he took the silver. Why did he feel like she didn't want them to come back? It must be his illusion!
And, "I've eaten so much of your food."
"This young man also taught us how to read, so we are even now," said Jiang Yunzhu.
The two wanted to argue, and Chen said, "Stop arguing, let's just leave it at that. If the two gentlemen come back later, we'll settle the money."
Yang Sheng liked to hear this word again. In that case, he took the silver first.
Jiang Yunzhu's character is quite stubborn.
Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming rode away on horseback, while Chen stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. These two young masters were too outstanding, and she was really afraid that Jiang Yunzhu, a young girl, would fall in love with them. It would be bad for them to be so incompatible.
Jiang Yunzhu, however, did not feel relaxed at all. She still had to think about how to trick the villagers into going to the county town on the day of the Beginning of Winter.
Then she and Chen went to town to buy things they needed for the day.
When they came back, a large group of soldiers entered the village to search. The Jiang family had a household registration in Wuling County, so they were not afraid of being checked. The soldiers searched around and found nothing, so they went to other people's homes.
At noon, Jiang Yunzhu cooked and served food as usual, but the account...
In the afternoon, when it was time to learn characters, Jiang Lin sat there with a little regret, Jiang Yunxue frowned, she liked learning characters the most, and Jiang Wu ran around happily, he was very happy without having to learn characters.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the papers and pens on the table and thought that when she had money in the future, she would teach her children to read. She didn't ask them to pass the imperial examination, but at least they could understand reason.
As for the accounts, she was a little annoyed. It was really impossible to do takeout without keeping accounts. But Shen Fengming only taught her numbers and the first few chapters of the Hundred Family Names, and she couldn't write them at all. She could keep a record of it secretly, but how could she explain it to Chen and the others
Go ask Gu Yanzhou for help? As long as he taught her for a few days, she would have a reason to say that she had learned it.
Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming have already left, so her contact with him should not have any impact.
She just didn't know whether he was busy studying now, and she didn't want to delay his imperial examination.
Just as she was daydreaming, someone outside asked, "Aunt Chen, Yunzhu, are you home?"
Jiang Yuzhu stood up and looked outside. It was Xu Qingshan, and standing next to him was Gu Yanzhou.
Gu Yanzhou noticed her gaze and nodded at her, as clean and elegant as the snow in March.
"Qingshan and Yanzhou are here, come in and sit down." Chen smiled and invited them into the house.
The two men entered the house, and Xu Qingshan looked into the yard. "Where are the two merchants?" he asked.
"Let's go. Their business is very busy." Chen said.
Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment. Gone? Gone so quickly and so easily? He thought they were trying to trick Jiang Yunzhu, but who would have thought... Maybe he was wrong and wronged a good person!
Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty.
"What are you doing?" Chen asked Xu Qingshan.
Xu Qingshan remembered the purpose of his visit. Since Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming had left, it was a good opportunity. He asked Jiang Yunzhu, "Do you still want to learn to read? If so, you can let Yanzhou teach you." In this way, Gu Yanzhou would be able to have more contact with Jiang Yunzhu, and maybe something good could really happen.
As for him, he had let it go.
Jiang Yunzhu was also hesitating whether to ask Gu Yanzhou for help, but she said to Gu Yanzhou, "I'm afraid it will delay your studies. You will have the big exam next year."
Gu Yanzhou smiled, "Didn't I say yesterday that reviewing the old knowledge will help you learn new things? Besides, reading all day long is tiring, so teaching you will also be a good opportunity for me to relax."
Jiang Yunzhu thought about it and realized that she didn’t need to study for a long time. She just needed to pretend for a few days. “Really?” she asked.
Gu Yanzhou nodded affirmatively. In fact, he had already learned everything he could. Now he was just reviewing old books in the academy or at home and teaching a few people to read. It was nothing at all.
"Thank you for your help. I really don't know how to thank you." Jiang Yunzhu said.
Gu Yanzhou coughed and said, "Father and mother like the dishes you cook very much. If it's convenient for you..." He didn't even mention buying them.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu Yongde have been thinking about the meal they had at Jiang's house last time and often mention it at home.
Gu Yanzhou heard it and kept it in mind.
Of course, he also likes the dishes cooked by Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled. This was not a problem. She could just treat it as a reward. This way, she felt relieved.
Chen was listening at the side and was a little confused. Xu Qingshan liked Yunzhu. What was he doing now? Pushing Gu Yanzhou and Jiang Yunzhu together? Gu Yanzhou was indeed a good person, but would the Gu family agree to him marrying Yunzhu
Things are moving too fast...
Gu Yanzhou did what he said. Now that he had nothing to do, he started to teach Jiang Yunzhu and others.
It was still the same square table, but the people sitting at it were different this time.
Gu Yanzhou's voice was like a spring, and he was very patient when teaching. If Shen Fengming was a strict teacher, he was unintentionally a helpful friend.
On the mountain not far away, Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming didn’t walk very far. From their vantage point, they could just see Gu Yanzhou teaching carefully and Jiang Yunzhu learning seriously at a small square table. One of them was like the bright moon and the other like a bright pearl. If you just look at them individually, it’s like a beautiful painting.
Yang Sheng rode his horse around twice in annoyance. He really wanted to go back immediately, not caring about the mine, the Sixth Prince, or the order!
However, he could not deny that Gu Yanzhou was really outstanding. According to his previous idea, it would not be a pity if Jiang Yunzhu married him.
Shen Fengming lowered his eyes slightly, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. He just tightened his hand holding the reins slightly, and then released it.
The next day, Jiang Yunzhu thought that she would get tired of eating meat pancakes for two days in a row, so she made small dumplings today. She originally wanted to make soup dumplings, but she didn't have a small steamer, and it would cost money to buy one, so she gave up.
After some improvements, the soup is made into a slightly thicker one. The fruits are small, quite small, each one is only the size of a plum. Steam them in a big pot at home, put them in a basket and cover them with a quilt, and then sell them when you get to the place.
The small buns are crystal clear, and through the outer skin, you can seem to see the delicious soup and fillings inside.
"Wow, boss, you have such skillful hands." A regular customer was immediately attracted by the small buns and praised them. It was amazing that such a small bun could be made into so many folds.
Just by looking at this little bun, you can tell it must be delicious.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled.
The regular customer asked the price and ordered a few immediately. He took a bite and the soup splashed. It was really delicious. It tasted even better with the spicy soup. He couldn't help but buy a few more.
The small steamed buns are selling especially well today.
When the long-faced soldiers arrived and saw the little kid, they were also surprised.
Jiang Yunzhu directly gave him a few and asked him to try them.
It's free to try, the long-faced soldier said quickly, "How can this be embarrassing." Yesterday, he had already eaten a bowl of boiled meat from Jiang Yunzhu, and today he was eating her buns
"Just a few buns." Jiang Yunzhu stuffed the plate into his hands.
The long-faced soldier tasted it and his mouth was filled with the fragrance.
"Adults will definitely love these buns," he exclaimed.
Today he also bought breakfast and ordered meals.
Everything was ready. Today he didn't say any news from the mountain and left in a hurry.
He bought more than half of the buns. The customer next to him was afraid that the buns would be sold out, so he quickly said, "Give me five too."
"I want four too."
Everyone rushed to grab them, and in a moment there were only a dozen buns left.
At this time, a man squeezed in and said, "Boss, I want all the rest. Pack them up for me and I'll take them away." This man was about 1.8 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was only wearing ordinary shorts, but he looked different from the others.
It's probably like those who have served in the military, who walk, sit and lie down differently from ordinary people.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at him twice more, then wrapped the remaining buns and handed them to him.
"Two more bowls of soup." the man said again.
The soup was difficult to deal with. If it was the long-faced soldier, we could give him the casserole, bowl, etc. to serve the soup, but this man was a stranger, and if we took the things and didn't return them, we would be at a loss.
The man seemed to know what Jiang Yunzhu was thinking, and took out a piece of silver and handed it to her, "Put it here with the boss first. By the way, boss, I heard that you can order food for lunch?"
This was the first person besides the long-faced soldier to order food. Jiang Yunzhu nodded, "Okay."
"Then I'd like to order food for two people. You decide what to make. When it's ready, send it here at noon and I'll pick it up myself," said the man.
This request is also very strange. Send it to the market instead of to the home
Jiang Yunzhu already had an idea about the meal for two.
"Okay." She agreed and took the silver, which was about half a tael.
The man was holding the buns and carrying the casserole, and after turning a few corners, he disappeared into the crowd.
At noon, Jiang Yunzhu prepared the meal and sent one portion to the mountain and one portion to the market.
The next day, the man came again and made buns again.
He also ordered food for lunch.
At this point, Jiang Yunzhu had two stable customers: the long-faced soldier and him.
On the third day, the defenders on the mountain searched the mountain again, this time more thoroughly than the last time. Anyone who did not have local household registration was arrested, causing panic among the people.
"What happened? Fortunately, the two merchants left early, otherwise it would be a lot of trouble." Chen sighed.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't say anything. Did the two people leave? Not necessarily.
On the fourth day, Jiang Yunzhu bought some beef and made beef porridge.
She went shopping and cooked as usual, but when she finished learning Chinese characters in the afternoon and was about to cook soup, she saw a large black cloud floating in the east, and it looked like it was going to rain. It might also snow, as the beginning of winter was approaching and the weather was getting colder.
Chen stood in the yard, looking at the black clouds, feeling both happy and worried. She was really afraid of drought. Since she came to Wuling County, it had rained once when she first arrived, but it had not rained since then. She was afraid that there would be a drought here too. Now that it was going to rain, she was naturally happy.
But if it really rains or snows, will they still be able to set up their stall tomorrow
"Why don't we just take a day off?" Jiang Yunzhu suggested. After working for so many days, it was time to take a break. And the beginning of winter was getting closer and closer, and she hadn't thought of a suitable way to trick the villagers into coming to the city, so she was a little anxious.
"Take a break?" Chen was conflicted, "What about the things we bought?" But if she didn't take a break, what if she finished the work and then couldn't set up the stall because of heavy rain tomorrow, which would be a bigger loss.
"It's cold now, so we can keep it for a day." Jiang Yunzhu said. Suddenly, she added, "It's better to sell fresh things. Let's cook the lamb bones into soup and the pork into sausages. It's just right at this time of year.
The sausages can be sold later or kept for personal consumption, whichever is more convenient.”
When Chen heard this idea, they decided to make sausages.
Both of them were quick and nimble, and soon, strings of sausages were hung under the eaves, looking like strings of wind chimes, which were very beautiful.
There will be no stall tomorrow, and everything will be fine after making the sausages. Jiang Yunzhu moved a stool and sat at the door, looking at the dark clouds in the sky and the sausages, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Suddenly, a light rain started to fall from the sky, mixed with snowflakes.
There was a vast expanse of white in the distance, covering all the mountains, rivers and houses, and the world seemed to become even quieter.
Jiang Yunzhu was stunned. At this moment, a man suddenly came in from the door. When he saw her, he first chanted "Amitabha", then bowed his head and asked, "Donor, can you let me take shelter from the wind and rain for a while?"
Jiang Yunzhu looked at him and saw an old monk, about sixty or seventy years old, with wrinkles all over his face and several patches on his monk's robe. He looked shabby, but his expression was kind and peaceful.
Are there any temples nearby? Jiang Yunzhu has never seen one.
At this time, Chen heard a voice coming out from inside and asked, "Where are you from, monk?"
"From the Temple of the Goddess of Heaven on Xifeng Mountain." The old monk replied.
Chen had never heard of it either, and Jiang Yunzhu found it even more strange. Goddess of Heaven
Seeing that the old monk was shivering with cold, Chen quickly let him in to shelter from the rain and poured him a cup of hot water.
The old monk drank the hot water and felt much better.
At this time, Mr. Chen also came out.
The rain and snow outside were getting heavier, and the old monk couldn't leave for the time being, so he started talking to Old Man Chen.
Xifeng Mountain is just over ten miles west of Changshi Village. It is also a branch of Wuling Mountain, but there are no iron mines on the mountain.
There is a temple of the Goddess of Heaven on the mountain. It is unknown who built it and when. It is said that worshiping the Goddess of Heaven can eliminate disasters, calamities, and diseases.
When the old monk arrived at the temple, the temple was not very popular, but it was still barely able to survive.
Later, iron mines were discovered in the mountains here, and everyone moved here. That side became increasingly desolate, and gradually, no one went there to burn incense anymore.
Without pilgrims, the temple lost its source of income. Food was still a problem, as the people of Wuling County were wealthy and could always get some food by begging outside. But the temple had fallen into disrepair and could no longer shelter from the wind and rain. Winter was approaching, and the old monk had no choice but to go around to see if there was any kind-hearted person willing to invest and help repair the temple.
This afternoon he went to Wangzhuang Village, which was farther away. When he came out, he saw that the weather was not right, so he wanted to go back quickly. As a result, it started raining as soon as he got here.
"Thank you for letting me come in to take shelter from the rain." The old monk clasped his hands together and said gratefully.
"No, no, it's just a small matter." said Mr. Chen.
He did not ask the old monk whether he had raised money to repair the temple. In fact, his life was very difficult at home and he was unable to help.
Seeing the Jiang family like this, the old monk knew that they were not wealthy, so he did not continue the topic.
The two talked about other things. As two old people, they always had a lot to talk about.
Jiang Yunzhu was listening nearby, but suddenly something came to her mind. She had thought of various ways to trick the villagers into going to the county town, but none of them were easy to implement. Now it happened that a good opportunity had come.
