Aunt Chun heard the words and said angrily: "It's not a new year, why are you making new clothes?" Even so, her face looked better, but she still couldn't stop talking.

Even if Jia Qiang paid for it, to Aunt Chun who had lived a hard life for half her life, this kind of practice was still a waste of money by a prodigal son.

Listening to Aunt Chun's rambling accusations, Liu Da Niu protecting her, Liu Laoshi's silence, Tieniu's simple and honest smirk, and finally attracted the firepower, and was severely scolded because he consumed the most cloth...

Feeling the breath of life of this rather down-to-earth ordinary family, Jia Qiang looked up at the bright moon in the sky, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and whispered softly: "Today people don't see the moon in ancient times, but this month once shined on the ancients. The ancients and the present are like flowing water, and they look at the bright moon together."

After Tieniu heard it, although he didn't understand what it meant, he always felt that when Jia Qiang read these two poems, he seemed very unhappy and sad.

It's just that when he looked at Jia Qiang, it was strange to see that Jia Qiang had a smile on his face again...

Tie Niu's eyes were blank, he shook his head, holding his babbling son, Xiao Shishi, in one hand, chewing the bitten sheep bones, relishing the fatness of the sheep's tail, listening to the old mother-in-law's pain Scolding, laughing, feeling that life has reached its peak...

……

"Yo, who are you looking for?"

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Qiang, who had already done homework for two hours, had just left the Chuihua Gate to exercise in the front yard to get some air, when she heard the exclamation of her cousin Liu Daniu from the direction of the door, she was obviously taken aback.

Liu Laoshi, Aunt Chun and Tieniu went out to work at the stall early in the morning before dawn, and Jia Qiang, Liu Daniu and a puppy who was a little over one year old were the only ones at home.

Hearing the movement at this moment, Jia Qiang frowned slightly, and picked up a wooden stick leaning against the wall from one side. Although it was better than nothing, if there was a real crisis, she could fight to the death.

But when he walked to the door and saw the person outside the door, his heart was relieved, and he greeted: "Brother Yun, why are you here?"

The young man with a slender figure and a long face at the door is Jia Qiang's elder brother, Jia Yun.

Seeing Jia Yun, Jia Qiang was not surprised but secretly happy.

In the red building, among the men of the Jia family, there are really not many good people.

And among the few good people, Jia Yun should be the only one who knows both filial piety and kindness, and is smart and capable.

Therefore, Jia Qiang did not hesitate to welcome this young man who "knows the roots and the bottom line".

In this world, blood relatives are the most dangerous, but they may also be the most reliable.

Jia Yun saw that Jia Qiang didn't look at him as before, and guessed in his heart that maybe because of an accident, Jia Qiang changed his temper, so he also warmly smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, didn't you tell me that you have a job to do?" What to do? Now the family is really in a difficult situation, and my mother is not in good health. My brother, I can only come to rely on you. It was originally agreed that you would wait for me for three days, but now it has been postponed for a while. It is all my fault. I apologize to you..."

After all, let's bow down.

Jia Qiang stepped forward to stop her, and said with a smile: "Although I am no longer from the Jia family, I am from the Jia family tree, but there is still a trace of connection in our blood. You and I are brothers, and you are older than me. How can we call each other brother? ? As for the three-day agreement..."

Before Jia Qiang finished speaking, Liu Da Niu interjected: "Qiang'er, mother asked you to recruit people several times, but you refused to recruit, making mother unhappy, just to wait for you, a brother of the same clan?"

Jia Qiang gave a thumbs up in her heart, nodded and smiled and said, "I'm not at ease after all with an outsider." Then she said to Liu Da Niu: "Cousin, go get six taels of silver first."

Then he said to Jia Yun, who was already grateful and overwhelmed: "I thought you were at the end of your rope, otherwise you wouldn't come here. I know your situation. Auntie's income from washing clothes for others can barely support you. But if there is something unforeseen, it will be hard to avoid. I heard you say that my aunt is not well, so I will give you three months' salary in advance, and you take it back to take care of my aunt. Come here in three days, and then As long as you can bear hardships, as long as you are diligent and studious, I will guarantee that you will not have to worry about money and food, and I will let your aunt enjoy her life in peace."

Jia Yun was really excited now, he nodded and said: "Brother Qiang, I believe in you! Don't worry, I will do it with you wholeheartedly in the future. If there is a little bit of bad intentions, I am raised by the little maid."

In fact, the reason why he is so "credulous" is that he came here five days ago and found out the residence of Jia Qiang's family, but he was not in a hurry to see them, but observed secretly for several days.

Only then did it finally confirm that Jia Qiang was really different from before. She was not a wanderer, but really wanted to make a career.

It's not that he is malicious and suspicious, it's just that Jia Qiang gave him the impression that he is really not a person who does practical things...

He also has a widowed mother, how dare he go astray and go astray?

Once he is injured, how will his mother live...

Five days of observation convinced him that Jia Qiang was at least doing business here...

Jia Qiang welcomed Jia Yun to the back house, and when Jia Yun saw that this was a second-entry house with a hand-painted verandah and a hanging flower door, she couldn't help admiring: "Brother Qiang, you are indeed born rich and noble. I heard that you When I left the East Mansion, I didn't bring any money with me. Jia Qin and the others were still betting that when you would not survive, you would go back to the East Mansion and kowtow to plead guilty. I didn't expect to live in such a good house here..."

Jia Qiang smiled lightly, didn't say anything, but asked a little curiously: "Why did you come here today? Yesterday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, both prefectures would give some happy noodles, so you won't be ashamed?"

There are a total of [-] houses after Rongning and the second master. Except for the eight houses sent by him in the capital, the rest are all in their original places.

However, for dozens of hundreds of years, even the Bafang of the Qin Dynasty in Duzhong has continued to multiply, and now the clan has already exceeded a thousand.

For four or five generations, the blood relationship between each family is really weak and almost non-existent.

Most people, except for weddings and funerals within the clan, rarely see each other once a year...

Among them, some people lived well, most of them were mediocre, and some lived very poorly.

Ningguo Mansion is the chief house of the Jia clan. The people of the clan are wealthy and ordinary, let alone those who can survive.

And for those who are in poverty, they are too poor to get rid of the pot, so every New Year's day, Rongning and Ningfu will take the opportunity to distribute some happy noodles to spend their days.

Therefore, Jia Qiang has this question.

Jia Yun turned pale when she heard this, and finally shook her head with a wry smile and said, "This year, I only sent out some exquisite pastries, some rabbits and chickens, but some good things were also snatched away by Jia Qin and the others. People from the fourth and fifth rooms There are so many people, how can I win? Besides, I don't want to be like a wild dog, tearing up with my clansmen for cakes and chickens and rabbits..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Needless to say, the Second House has been in high position for many years, so why not eat minced meat. It doesn't matter, we can live on our own, why should we suffer from such a cheap food?"

When Jia Yun heard this, she nodded emphatically with red eyes!

He swears, if this place is reliable, and if he can really earn a living, then he will definitely make a good career here and make a name for himself!

Chapter 24 Teachers Are Hard to Find

"I thought you couldn't trust me and your uncle, and you insisted on finding a Jia family member to join us. After working for three or five days, I realized that you really found a good buddy for us, Brother Qiang. What can you do?" !"

In the courtyard, Aunt Chun laughed loudly in a high voice.

Liu Laoshi was still taciturn, sitting on the edge, but there was a smile on his face.

Tieniu was more simple and honest, nodding in agreement.

Jia Yun smiled brightly and said, "Auntie, you are welcome, I have something to offer..."

It looked like he was asking for praise, but Aunt Pianchun liked it, and praised Jia Qiang: "Your clan brother really has eyesight, you can endure hardships, you can talk, and you are liked. Now the neighbors , there is no one who does not praise him, and it has only been a few days? Although the big temple fair has passed, the business has not slowed down much, there are many repeat customers, and there are also many new customers. Your clan brother is much stronger than your uncle and Tie Niu. The most powerful thing is that he and those city officials with dog skins can still talk together. Brother Qiang, you don’t know, the street vendors in this market are most afraid of these city officials wearing official dog skins , being targeted by them, I can only admit that I am unlucky, and save money and avoid disaster. When those city officials came today, my legs were trembling. Other than skewers, it didn't even cost much money!"

Seeing Jia Qiang's point of view, Jia Yun hurriedly said: "It's just borrowing the name of the Duke's mansion. Now the capital Jiedu is the Jia family's in-laws, and the Wucheng soldiers and horses are also close friends with the Jia family. They can't wait for a few Two silver coins offended the Jia family. Brother Qiang, you won’t blame me for using the name of the Jia family, right?”

Jia Qiang chuckled, and said: "I am in a hurry, and even if I leave the Jia family, you are a serious descendant of Rong Guogong, so there is nothing wrong with using the Jia family's nameplate."

He just didn't expect that there are city managers in this era...
