The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Early next morning

The snow has eased a bit, and the villagers in the post station are discussing going to the city to buy some necessities. In fact, everyone doesn't have much money on them along the way, and now they can only tighten their belts and pick out important items to make up for it.

The official of Gucheng Yamen sent a message early in the morning, saying that the reward for Yan Shu had been received, and asked Yan Shu to go to the Yamen in person.

Li Shoujing was smart enough not to let the official deliver the food and bounty in person, otherwise her thousand taels of gold would have been exposed.

Keeping her wealth private has always been her way of survival. The more people around you, the more jealous you are that you are richer than them. Even though these villagers appear to be grateful to her, if they see her receive thousands of taels of gold with their own eyes, everyone in the team will not know. How many people would make crooked ideas about her.

Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang were really surprised when they heard that the government had rewarded them with more than 3,000 kilograms of grain.

In ancient times, one acre of land produced two to three hundred kilograms of grain. This was still a good year, especially in a famine year like this year. If any family could produce three thousand kilograms of grain, they would be considered rich locally.

Yan Ersheng said: "Daughter, so much food needs to be brought back by cart. Dad and your brothers should go with you."

Yan Shu thought that it would take manpower to transport the food to the car, and he also had to collect the one thousand taels of gold. It was inconvenient to bring outsiders, so it was more secure to bring his own relatives.

"Okay, let's go there right now."

The Yamen was not far from the inn, and the group quickly arrived at the Yamen.

When the yamen guard on duty at the door heard that Yan Shu was coming, he immediately went into the yamen to report it.

Soon, a familiar face came out.

The person who came was none other than Bo Peidu, the Lord of Gu City. He was a man in his thirties with a decent appearance, and he looked kinder than Li Shojing.

"The Marquis and the county magistrate are still fighting the epidemic in Lingquan Town, so they ordered the subordinates to come in advance and deliver Miss Yan's reward. You can count it."

After saying this, Pei Du ordered two government officials to carry a box over. He opened the box himself, and there was a box of gold bars inside.

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Excuse me, Sir Bo, to thank Mr. Marquis and Mr. Li for me."

"I will definitely bring Miss Yan's words to me. The food is in the backyard. Most of the government officials have been transferred to Lingquan Town. The remaining people went out to do errands after midnight. Now there are only a few of us. , I’m afraid I can’t be of much help.”

"We can do it ourselves."

Nowadays, there are many refugees staying in Gucheng, and the government officials are very busy. There are indeed not many people in the entire government office at the moment.

Pei Du led everyone to the backyard of the government office. Although Yan Ersheng, Yan Wen, Yan Wu, Yan Huai, and Jiang Ci were enough, Pei Du arranged for three government officials to come forward to help.

Together with seven or eight people, three thousand kilograms of grain were quickly loaded onto the carriage. Yan Shu asked Yan Ersheng and his brothers to put the box of gold on the carriage.

Jiang Ci and Yan Shu said goodbye to Pei Du and got into the carriage.

Yan Wu drove the carriage in front, Yan Ersheng drove the donkey cart, and Yan Wen and Yan Huai drove the village chief's ox cart together. The road was covered with deep snow and it was very difficult to walk outside. It was harder to pull food than empty. The car is much slower.

After Yan Shu got on the car, she put a box of gold bars directly into the space. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Ci with a smile.

"How is the recruitment of private soldiers going?"

Jiang Cidao: "We have gathered all the people, and we are going into the mountains today."

"Raising 20,000 elite soldiers is not a small amount. After we settle down in Xinyang Mansion, I will give you some money from the space warehouse to prepare food and grass."

Seeing her serious calculation, Jiang Ci smiled and said, "Are you really willing to give up?"

"Why don't you give it up? Half of the money is due to you."

Although she loves money, she is by no means stingy. Jiang Ci has been a big help in collecting so much gold, silver and jewelry along the way.

Especially since there are agencies everywhere in Guo Chengsi's house, it would be difficult for her to get the money without the topographic map that Jiang Ci had drawn in advance, so she would not be greedy for Jiang Ci's share.

What's more, now that the boss is going to start a business, if she contributes money and efforts at this time, she is equivalent to being an original shareholder. When the boss succeeds in starting a business, her benefits will be indispensable.

She is just a salty fish who wants to be in peace. She doesn't have to worry about being jealous of her boss after helping her boss start a business like the Feng family and the Liu family. Now is the time to perform well, and she can't miss a good opportunity.

Jiang Ci's lips curled up slightly. Although the little fox loves money, she is not greedy and will always remember the help others have given her.

Moreover, he found that the little fox wanted to keep him, and he had this tendency since she first appeared.

A few days ago, she originally wanted to use the food in the space for him to raise his troops. The reason why he refused was because he wanted to use the food as seeds when wasteland was mined in the mountains in the future.

The space is full of spiritual energy, so the food grown in it must be very different from that in the ordinary world.

If she doesn't let the little fox help this time, she will probably be disappointed.

Jiang Ci felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to take Yan Shu into his arms.

"Ashu, thank you!"

Yan Shu's head was held in Jiang Ci's arms, and his small body could not move.

She lamented in her heart, since she started a relationship, she found that Jiang Ci either kissed or hugged her.

This guy is really a master at teasing, so he has to be on guard.

"Well, I'm going to ask dad if he wants to buy something."

Yan Shu found an excuse, blushed and broke away from Jiang Ci's arms, opened the curtain and looked at the donkey cart behind him.

"Dad, do we want to buy something?"

"Our family lacks nothing, my dear daughter. If you want to eat something, you can buy some."

Yan Shu looked at the shop next to her and saw a pastry seller in front of her. The pastries she had bought before were almost eaten along the way, and she needed to prepare some more.

"Stop ahead, I want to buy some pastries."

"okay!"

The carriage stopped outside the shop door. Yan Shu asked them to wait at the door before he went out.

Jiang Ci reached out to stop her: "It's too cold outside. You wait in the car while I go buy it."

Yan Shu originally wanted to say that she could go in and choose what she wanted to eat, but Jiang Ci saw her thoughts at a glance.

"Chestnut cake, Poria cake, osmanthus cake, donkey rolling, is there anything to add?"

Yan Shu's eyes curled up, they were all what she liked to eat.

"These are enough, you can buy some more food you like."

Jiang Ci nodded: "Let a few brothers go in and choose some. You don't look good. You need to have a good rest these two days."

Yan Shu touched her cheek. She found that her aunt had come to visit this morning. She may have been a little pale due to excessive bleeding. She also had a stomachache for a while when she got up in the morning. She didn't expect Jiang Ci to observe so carefully.

Jiang Ci got off the carriage and called Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai, and they went to the pastry shop together.

There were many customers in the shop, and several people waited for a long time and finally bought the pastries.

Jiang Ci got on the carriage and handed a paper bag to Yan Shu.

"This is fresh out of the oven and still warm. Try it."

Yan Shu opened the paper package and found brown sugar osmanthus cake inside.

brown sugar……

It seemed that Jiang Ci really knew that she was having her period, which was a bit embarrassing.
