After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 335 Return to the Village [3]

Shopkeeper Zou was very pleased with what he said and asked, "How is Qin Er?"

Manager Lu said, "The news sent by his subordinates said that he is a shameless scoundrel who eats the guests' leftovers in the kitchen of Xue's Inn every day. He doesn't feel ashamed and even thinks he has made a profit."

"Oh, you are indeed a loser who is worse than a beggar." Shopkeeper Zou was full of contempt. He was very satisfied with this answer and praised the person who set up the trap to harm Uncle Qin: "The method is really amazing."

He raised his eyes again, glanced at Manager Lu, and taught him like a teacher: "Look, this is the method used by the masters. With just a little trick, they tortured a farmer's family that had only produced a rare child for several generations into a beggar. Their life is ruined. Not to mention passing the imperial examination, they can't even have a child. I'm afraid there will be no descendants."

Manager Lu was stunned for a moment, pretending to be enlightened, and then praised: "The shopkeeper's great talent can actually match the methods of the heads of the noble families. I admire you."

Shopkeeper Zou smiled faintly and said, "You are also a good person. The masters are watching you. Put more effort into your work. In a few years, my position will be yours."

Manager Lu's face showed surprise, then he acted frightened, and then he expressed gratitude and loyalty.

The two of them were acting with great enthusiasm, but in the Wu Ze Pharmacy on the same street, Manager Wu, Manager Fan, and Doctor You were looking at the Qin family with reluctance.

"Brother Qin, when will you come to the city again after the New Year?" asked Manager Wu.

Grandpa Qin said, "I am old and can't run much anymore. If nothing unexpected happens, I will wait until the spring ploughing season before coming to the city. However, Dalang will come to the city once a month. If you have any urgent business to find us, you can send a letter to No. 6 Qiming Street. That is my house and there are servants guarding it."

Manager Wu took note of it carefully and promised, "Don't worry, Brother Qin. We will help take care of your family's property in the capital. If anything happens, we will send someone to inform you immediately."

After saying that, Shopkeeper Wu's face was filled with guilt again. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Brother Qin, Young Master Qin, Wu Boqian and his son will have to serve forced labor at the Tianmang Prefecture Pass after the new year. I want to pay money to exonerate Wu Boqian and his son and send them back to their hometown... I'm not soft-hearted, but after all, they were brought up by me. Sending them back to their hometown will also settle the debt of kinship between me and them."

It was the Qin family who helped their pharmacy catch the drug thief, and it was also the Qin family who helped the pharmacy restore its reputation, so he had to ask the Qin family's opinion first and not let good people down.

Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "This is a matter between Wu Ze Pharmacy and Shopkeeper Wu. Shopkeeper Wu can make his own decision. You don't need to ask us."

When Manager Wu saw that the Qin family agreed, the guilt in his heart was relieved a little. Knowing that Grandpa Qin was thinking about the horses, he took Grandpa Qin to see the horses.

The mare's diseased hoof is being cared for well and shows no signs of deterioration.

Grandpa Qin was very happy and returned to the inn with peace of mind.

When they arrived at the inn, Jiang Dalang also came back from the government army camp. When he saw Qin Xiaomi, warmth welled up in his eyes and he said with joy, "Xiaomi."

Qin Xiaomi responded and asked him, "Now that you're back, did Captain Gao give you any trouble?"

Jiang Dalang repeatedly refused Gao Baihu's request to join the army. She was afraid that if she refused too many times, Gao Baihu would get angry.

Su Su, is this because she cares about him?

Jiang Dalang's heart was filled with passion, and he shook his head and smiled, "No, Captain Gao is very easy to talk to, and he is very satisfied with the New Year's gift. He just asked me to help take something to County Magistrate Yang."

Qin Xiaomi felt relieved and returned to the right wing.

Aunt Qin and Qin Eryong's wife were packing up the return gifts from various families.

Aunt Qin praised the Mo family: "The Mo family's return gift was the most generous among all the families in Qiming Street. They gave two large pieces of embroidery cloth one foot long. These two pieces of embroidery cloth alone cost more than five hundred coins. We have made back our investment."

"Let me take a look." Qin Xiaomi took the embroidery cloth and looked through it carefully twice. After not seeing the earthworm-like Dong Mowen, she said with relief: "Uncle and Aunt, keep it for making clothes."

Aunt Qin was overjoyed: "Oh, she is indeed my niece. She thinks of your uncle and aunt when she has something good. Then I will not be polite."

When have you and your husband ever been polite to each other?

Not long after, Yan Da and his men, following Tang Chang'an's orders, brought two half-used carriages and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper said that these are for your horses. You can pay 15 taels of silver for each one. Don't refuse. It's cheaper to buy a carriage from a carriage and horse shop."

Grandpa Qin was very happy. He took the two covered cars and gave Yan Da thirty taels of silver: "Tell Manager Tang to thank him very much."

Yan Da solemnly accepted the banknote: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we will bring the banknote and the words!"

Grandpa Qin smiled and nodded.

Uncle Qin called them again: "Brother Yan, let's go to the kitchen to get some meat and vegetables. Today a big customer ordered a roasted pig, but he didn't finish it, so there are several pounds left. It's such a sin, we have to help him pay off this sin!"

He was so righteous and didn't feel embarrassed at all about picking up other people's leftovers, which stunned Qu Da who came to play with Jiang Dalang.

Yan Da and the others didn't despise him at all and said happily, "Hey, here they come."

However, they felt a little guilty, so they quietly put a string of copper coins on the counter when they left.

Qu Da thought that the Qin family was frugal and couldn't bear to eat meat, so he paid for the storekeeper Xue Liu to prepare two tables of food so that the Qin family could eat their fill.

Uncle Qin was very happy. Seeing that he was too arrogant, he began to deceive him: "Ada, good boy, my family will set off to return to the village the day after tomorrow. But traveling in the cold winter will not only require sleeping in the open air, but also worrying about the cold..."

At the end of his speech, he even shed tears.

Qu Da was shocked and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Uncle Qin. My family has houses in the towns along the way between the prefectural capital and Baofu County. You can knock on the door with my handwritten letter, and you don't have to worry about being set foot every day."

He immediately wrote a handwritten letter, stamped it with his own seal, and handed it to Uncle Qin.

Uncle Qin was still not satisfied. He wiped his tears and continued, "Ada, good boy, Uncle Qin doesn't have to worry about living in the wild this time. But as the saying goes, the world is the most unpredictable. If a blizzard blocks the road, we can't get to your villa. Without good cold-resistant supplies, I'm afraid we will be trapped to death in the snow."

Qu Da thought for a moment and said, "I have a lot of cold-weather supplies at home, as well as dried meat and oil-sugar cakes to fill your stomach. I'll bring them to you tomorrow. This way, even if you're trapped on the road by a blizzard, you can save yourself with these things."

Huang Yanglong, Xiaobai and Jia Xiang looked at him with sympathy...Silly child, will your father hang you up and beat you if you continue like this?

Grandpa Qin couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Da, you don't have to bring anything to my house. Your Uncle Qin was just kidding you."

But the next day, Qu Da still brought two trucks of things and brought a few experienced craftsmen to help the Qin family check and reinforce the vehicles. They also made the wheels anti-skid and took care of everything for the Qin family's return journey.

Uncle Qin was able to lie in the house and have nothing to do. Grandpa Qin kicked him twice and cursed, "You only know how to trick good people into working for you."

All the cleverness is used to deceive children.

Uncle Qin was as lazy as a pig, half lying motionless, and said, "Dad, give the work to those who love to work, this is called fulfillment."

"What a bunch of nonsense!" Grandpa Qin was furious, but when he looked at his thin body and thought about the cold outside, he didn't bother with him.

In the afternoon, Grandpa Qin and Jiang Dalang accompanied Qin Xiaomi to Qiming Street again.

After Qin Xiaomi checked the offensive and defensive arrangements of several secret compartments, he instructed Zhu Liushi and his wife: "Patrol the house three times a day to ensure that nothing that shouldn't be there is stuffed into the house; treat the Mo family normally, don't get too close to them; keep an eye on the Lin family on Huaian Street in the west of the city, and Wu Xingzong. If there are any rumors involving the Qin family, report to the police immediately, don't be lenient..."

For the sake of their two sons, Zhu Xuemo and Zhu Xuewei, the couple would be very loyal to her family, so she left them to look after the house and took Zhu Xuewei and his brother back to the village.

Qin Xiaomi also gave them a silver note, a bag of silver, and a few packets of antidote to the drug: "Take the silver for emergency use; remember to put the medicine in your nose when you patrol the house every day."

"Yes, we will remember it." The Zhu couple responded respectfully.

Qin Xiaomi and the others did not stay any longer and left by car. This time they did not run into the Mo family.

……

The next day, when it was still dark, the Qin, Huang and Jia families got up, packed up, and began to gather their servants, calling out their names and preparing to leave the city and return to the village.
