Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Time flies by and the end of the month is here in a blink of an eye. Jiang Huaixu traveled between the Qingnang Pavilion and his home every day, and from time to time he would go to the Fang Mansion to diagnose Mr. Fang's pulse under his murderous eyes.

The day before his departure, Jiang Huaixu did not go to the county seat and left the matter of settling accounts and distributing money to the villagers to Jiang Erlang and Jiang Dalang. Jiang Erlang was also familiar with Tofu Fang's accounts, so she felt relieved to have two brothers with her.

Jiang Wei and the others were very reluctant to leave Jiang Huaixu. No matter where Jiang Huaixu went, his tail would follow him.

"Yao Mei, I need some money!" Jiang Sanlang ran into the house with a chill all over his body, "You've been gone for so many days, what if I need to use money?"

Jiang Huaixu looked through his pulse report from the day under the lamp and asked casually: "How much do you want?"

"One..." Just as he started, Jiang Sanlang suddenly fell silent, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Three taels of silver! The Chinese New Year will be here in a month, and there are many places where I need to use money. !”

"Third brother, how did you celebrate the Chinese New Year when you couldn't touch a single coin from your body before?" Jiang Wei asked Jiang Sanlang while turning over the charcoal in the stove.

Liu Ye'er was amused by Jiang Wei's words and laughed out loud.

Jiang Sanlang glared at Jiang Wei and whispered, "Can't Third Brother buy you something delicious?"

Jiang Wei didn't accept this trick, "Yao Mei came back from Jiangnan and brought back a lot of delicious food! And there are gifts for each of us!"

The two started bickering and couldn't stop for a while.

Jiang Huaixu took out a penny of silver from his cloth bag and counted out thirty cents, "Third brother, keep this money first and buy whatever you need. I will come back during the Chinese New Year, so don't think about me too much. "

Jiang Sanlang was dumbfounded as he held one coin of silver and thirty copper plates, "What I want is three taels of silver..."

"Who wants three taels of silver? From whom?" Qian Xiuzhu's voice came from outside.

Jiang Sanlang quickly put away the thirty cents, turned to look at A Niang who walked in, and said with a guilty look on his face: "Mom, are you here? I'm here to see Yao Mei. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. "

With that said, he quickly slipped out.

Qian Xiuzhu knew her youngest son's nature well and planned to settle the score with him later. She couldn't lack money for anything when she went out. She took some money from the account of her father-in-law and left it for Jiang Huaixu to spend when he went to Jiangnan.

She walked to Jiang Huaixu and sat down. She opened the veil covering the silver ingot and said, "Sister Xu, this is thirty taels of silver. I have discussed it with your father. No one from your family will follow you on your trip this time. Jiangnan's Things must be very expensive, so you can buy whatever you want, no need to save."

"Mom, I have saved more for myself than at home, so why do you need to spend more money?"

"That won't work." Qian Xiuzhu insisted, "How old are you? All the money you earned has been saved for when you grow up. Now you can use it at home, so your father and I can feel at ease."

Jiang Huaixu thought for a moment and took it, "Then I'll take it, mother."

Qian Xiuzhu had a smile on her face, and then told her everything she could think of. Liu Yeer and others also came over to listen, and expressed their opinions from time to time, until Jiang Zhengmao's voice came from outside.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"Where's Miss Xu? She's leaving tomorrow. I have a few words to say to her."

Jiang Huaixu heard the sound and walked out.

"Uncle, what do you want to say?"

When Jiang Zhengmao saw Jiang Huaixu coming out, he took a few steps quickly, pulled her to the corner, and stuffed something into her arms.

"You can use the twenty taels of silver I appropriated from the public account. After all, you only got into this for the big guy's five-spice powder business. You can't treat me badly."

"Hey, I'll thank you uncle for now, and I'll bring you a gift when I come back." He accepted one portion and two portions. Jiang Huaixu stuffed the money into his arms very skillfully.

"Just eat it fresh. We have everything else, so don't spend it carelessly." Jiang Zhengmao was afraid that Jiang Huaixu would be confused outside, so he couldn't help nagging, "Uncle knows that you are very strong, so you should keep your temper down no matter what happens. In the Jiangnan area, everyone you meet on the road is either rich or noble. It would be bad if you offend someone you can't afford to offend..."

"Brother, it's cold. Why don't you go sit inside?" Qian Xiuzhu couldn't help but speak out when she saw that Jiang Zhengmao seemed to have a lot more to say.

Jiang Zhengmao waved his hand, "No, no, it's not looking good. The second uncle said that we have to go to the wasteland to see it later."

With that said, he left in a hurry.

"Uncle, please slow down!"

After seeing off Jiang Zhengmao, the Second Grandma came again. It was Jiang Tao and others who went to the county town to set up stalls in the past few days, so the Second Grandma did not leave after they arrived. They talked around the stove and did needlework until dark. .

After dinner, Jiang Huaixu went to bed early.

Fu Tuan nestled on top of Jiang Huaixu's head, a cat's paw pressed Jiang Huaixu's cheek, and asked depressedly: [Host, don't you want to take this Tuanzi away with you? 】

【What? 】Jiang Huaixu opened his eyes, 【How could I not take you? 】

She shook her head and shook the cat's claws off her face. She had said many times that Fu Tuan would nestle at her feet as the space would be larger, but it just didn't want to, no matter what it said, it would not let its host step on its soles.

Fu Tuan was pleased by Jiang Huaixu's words and retracted his claws, "You didn't make it clear, how could I know." 】

[With such a great opportunity to earn points, how could I not bring you with me? Okay, okay, go to bed and leave tomorrow. 】

Early the next morning, Jiang Huaixu and Li Qiaoer took their luggage and got into the carriage driven by Jiang Erlang.

"Second brother, why are you sending us off?"

"Everyone else has to work, and I'm the only one free, so it's most appropriate to send it to you."

Jiang Erlang drove the carriage out of the yard. There were many people standing outside, including Mr. and Mrs. Li, Xia Shuanghua, Qian Xiuzhu, the second grandma... and an ox cart driven by Jiang Boliang, who was sitting on it to set up a stall in the county town. Several people from Jiangtao.

After saying goodbye for a while, Jiang Boliang flicked his whip and said, "It's too late to say any more, Erlang, let's go!"

Jiang Erlang responded and waved to the crowd, "Go back quickly, it's time to leave."

After the carriage went out for a while, until no one could be seen, Jiang Huaixu said to Li Qiaoer, whose eyes were slightly moist, "Sister Qiaoer, have you learned what I taught you before?"

Li Qiaoer put down the handkerchief, nodded and said: "I learned it, but I don't look like a man..."

"It doesn't matter. You usually talk less and keep your head lowered. As long as you don't expose too many flaws, others won't notice. This is just an excess. Once you get used to it and are no longer afraid, you can even walk outside as a woman."

A smile bloomed on Li Qiaoer's face.

The two of them tinkered for nearly three-quarters of an hour before changing Li Qiaoer's appearance. The original pretty woman turned into a young man with a slightly yellow complexion.

Jiang Huaixu saw the look of satisfaction in Li Qiaoer's eyes, which made Li Qiaoer's face turn red. She touched her tied bun and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. It would be more like it if you speak in a lower voice."

After saying that, Jiang Huaixu said to Jiang Erlang: "Second brother, I will show you a trick later. I'm sure it will surprise you!"

Jiang Erlang didn't pay attention to the movement in the carriage and knew what Jiang Huaixu was talking about, "Okay, sit tighter, the road ahead is a bit bumpy."

The horse-drawn carriage and ox-cart stopped at the gate of the city. Jiang Boliang gave him another warning, and then the horse-drawn carriage ran towards the west pier of the city.

Early in the morning, many people had gathered at the dock. Jiang Huaixu opened the curtain and saw the familiar Fang family carriage at a glance.
