Accumulate Wealth in Life

Takako Hanmen (29)

Asked a sentence, the two were stunned at the same time.

Lin Yutong looked at the woman's temperament and couldn't help but tentatively said, "Mrs. Jiang?"

Women are usually addressed by their husband's surname. For example, the woman in front of her, Lin Yutong doubted very much that she was Zhang Gelao's wife. Her maiden name is Jiang, and she calls her Madame Jiang. Using her own surname is a kind of respect for her in itself.

The woman did not nod or shake her head. But the momentary relief in her eyes made Lin Yutong know, and she guessed right again.

Madam Jiang glanced at Lin Yutong again, "Since you know me, then report your name and let me hear it."

Lin Yutong pursed his lips and smiled, "We made an appointment to have tea together at noon the day after tomorrow. I'm an impatient person, so I can't wait to ask the lady for a cup of tea?"

The corner of Mrs. Jiang's mouth twitched into a smile, "I just gave you a needle, why are you still using it as a mallet? Come and have tea with me? If you don't go through the front door, you won't go in through the back door. I plan to go in through this wall. ?"

"You can't go in through the front door, and you can't go through the back door. The threshold of Zhang's family is too high, and I'm waiting for a **** to become a guest of Zhang's family. It's only suitable to climb over the wall and go over the ridge. It's just a joke for my wife." Lin Yutong didn't have a clue. Annoyed by the teasing, he made fun of himself, and looked at Madam Jiang with a smile, "Who knew it was such an unfortunate event, just in time for Madam to go out, I wonder if I have the honor to travel with Madam in the capital at night."

Madam Jiang laughed, "I haven't seen such an interesting little girl in years."

Lin Yutong was taken aback by the laughter of Madam Jiang and Haha, "Madam, this is the back wall..." We are both thieves, so we can't be so arrogant.

Mrs. Jiang laughed again, and then whispered: "Little girl, you are a thief, I am not. I love to eat the stinky tofu in the back street, and I often go out to buy it. I often eat it outside at night." , then pointed to the head that was suddenly retracted from the top of the wall, "This is the back wall of my house. I don't like going through the door, but I like to climb over the wall. Others can't control it. You see, they are all used to it. Well, I won't tell others about you being a thief, so treat me to eat stinky tofu tonight."

Lin Yutong nodded, "Okay! Let's go then."

She was indeed hungry. When I think of the smell of stinky tofu, my stomach growls again.

"What? Busy as a thief, didn't care about eating?" Madam Jiang said jokingly.

Lin Yutong thought this lady was very interesting, and couldn't help but say, "I was a thief this time, and you caught me. Now I have to carry a thief's name on my back. Do you think I am wronged?"

The two walked and laughed all the way, not like the first time they met.

The back street is not far from the mansion, and most of the people living in this mansion are servants. The streets are narrow but extremely lively. People are on duty, and there is no fixed time, and there are a lot of people coming in and out at night. The stinky tofu stall is remote, but because of the "smell spread far away", the business is not bad. In the evening, there are not many people willing to eat out. They all take bowls, buy them, and bring them back. Even if I didn't bring a bowl occasionally, the boss asked me to take the bowl away and bring it back later.

Beside the stall, leaning against the corner, a table was placed symbolically.

Lin Yutong and Madam Jiang were sitting in the corner, the lights were dim, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see the two sitting here.

"Boss, come four bowls." Mrs. Jiang said very boldly.

The boss responded and came over to wipe the table again.

Lin Yutong handed a silver bean, "Put more sauce."

The boss responded immediately and turned around to get busy.

"This boss's father sells stinky tofu. When I was young, my father would always hug me secretly at night and come out to eat stinky tofu. When I return to the house, I have to go to the well to fetch water first. I didn’t dare to go back until I spoke, because I was afraid my mother would smell it.” Madam Jiang sniffed, “Afterwards, for some reason, every time I came back, there was water that had been pumped up by the well. We thought it was the servants of the house. People have winks. It wasn't until I found out that, no matter winter or summer, the water by the well was just warm, and the water for mouthwash was just cool and hot. Then I knew that it was all prepared by my mother in advance. She snorted again, "that's the smell, fragrant!"

Lin Yutong was hot in her eye sockets because of what she said. Madam Jiang was thinking of General Jiang and Madam Jiang. She opened her mouth, only to find that any words of comfort were pale.

The boss brought stinky tofu over, "You two take it slow."

Lin Yutong picked up the bamboo stick, tied a piece and ate it.

Mrs. Jiang laughed, she ate more boldly than Lin Yutong, and one bite was a big piece.

After eating one bowl and waiting for the next bowl, Madam Jiang wiped her mouth and said, "Do you know how the Jiang family died?" Without Lin Yutong answering, she said to herself, "It was the emperor who listened to the eunuch's words, The soldiers who did not fight were not provided with food and grass. As a result, they were unable to fight, and starved to death. The eunuchs sold their generals to the enemy, but at the same time they held down food and grass. The city just captured was besieged, and my father would rather die than surrender. Half a month later, the enemy army will destroy itself without attacking the city. There is no one alive inside. Except for my father, my three brothers, and hundreds of generals of the Jiang family who starved to death."

Looking at the second night of stinky tofu brought by the boss, Lin Yutong's throat was too blocked to eat.

Mrs. Jiang ate her own bowl in a big mouthful, and also ate the bowl in front of Lin Yutong.

Then she coughed violently, and she could still hear her sniffling. Then she raised her sleeves to wipe her eyes and said, "Choke!"

In fact, she was crying.

The two got up and walked back slowly. Mrs. Jiang whispered as she walked: "My mother told me to make a solemn oath that I will never mention revenge in my life. Then I threw myself into it and committed suicide. That well was when my father and I always rinsed our mouths. well."

Lin Yutong listened silently, but his heart became more and more heavy.

"You said, if I don't repay this revenge, can I sleep peacefully?" Mrs. Jiang stopped and turned to look at Lin Yutong.

Lin Yutong thought that if he were to change himself, not only would he kill the dog eunuch, but even the old emperor would have to overthrow him if he had a chance.

Mrs. Jiang laughed at herself, "So..." She stretched out her hand, "This is for you!"

Lin Yutong was taken aback, "This is..." the key.

"What are you pretending? You're not doing it for this." Mrs. Jiang directly shoved it to Lin Yutong, "I'll smell it when you come to the door today. It's a big ambition. Regardless of this... I like it. The old man is different. He only thinks about the country of Ming Dynasty. Now the emperor has a grudge against our family, so he thinks that it is not enough to support a prince to succeed him. As for the change of the dynasty, he dare not even dream of it. Da Ming's loyal minister!"

Listening to this tone, the relationship between the two of them is not bad, and they stole the key, "How did you explain to Zhang Ge?"

Mrs. Jiang laughed, "Explain? Explain what? First, he won't leave me. Because he was reluctant, because I gave him three sons. Apart from me, he has no other woman in his life. Second, He couldn't beat me. Of course, he was reluctant to beat me. Third, it was useless for him to scold me. I never heard anything I didn't like. Fourth, even if I wanted to ground my house, I couldn't help tearing down our house. . He doesn't have the money to have people fix the house all day long."

"His brain is better than mine, but he just can't control me. As for the key I took and then accidentally lost... The most likely thing he will do is to quickly find someone to make a fake one, and then it will be real. It's useless, his expression must be more innocent than mine..."

Lin Yutong looked at Madam Jiang in amazement. This was completely different from what Lin Yutong had guessed. This is the lawless woman who is favored by others. Suddenly I am envious, and suddenly have a good impression of Zhang Ge. A man who loves his wife and hurts for this sake can't go anywhere in his mind.

After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she said again: "You have already come out of Zhao Wangfu. It seems that you have succeeded. Then it will be easier. However, I gave you the key, and I have to beg you for my old man. one thing."

Lin Yutong said sternly, "Just tell me."

"Don't kill King Zhao first, or go south to Jinling, and the old man's life will be difficult." Madam Jiang sighed, "This person should not be a big threat to the overall situation. He has already been targeted by the emperor. If it really gets in the way, I will end him myself."

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, but did not expect this to happen. This is also reasonable, Zhang Ge is on the ship of King Zhao, this is not a secret. Once he loses his master, Zhang Ge is in the court... he can only take the initiative to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", and he cannot go to another family because of the death of the master. It's not worth the money. She thought about it for a while, and then said, "King Zhao will have a fever tomorrow and catch a little cold. Don't drink the herbal soup that wards off the cold. You'll be fine in half a month."

Madam Jiang was shocked, this method is really obscure. Even if you die, you may not be able to think of who did it. "Good! Candid enough."

She smiled in a low voice and said, "In the future, if you lose, I beg our lord to let you go. But I hope you win."

Lin Yutong also followed with a smile: "In the future, if you lose, I beg our grandfather to give you a way out. Besides, we will definitely win."

The two looked at each other after speaking, and then laughed.

"Mrs. Jiang, we can't underestimate the heroes of the world." Lin Yutong said helplessly. The words just now were really frivolous, as if the world's major events could be settled between the two women's small talk.

Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "If there is another party, don't you believe that you and I will join forces and still be unable to take the other party's head?"

Lin Yutong gave Madam Jiang a thumbs up, "Madam is a real hero!"

"Okay! Don't talk about flattering things, just do something else here." Madam Jiang turned around, "This time we say goodbye, I don't know when we will see each other again."

"When Madam returns to the capital, I will also invite Madam to eat the stinky tofu from the backstreet." Lin Yutong folded his fists and bowed, sending Madam Jiang away...
