After Jiang Dalang talked to Xue Dongjia about some other things, he got up and went back to his room to rest.

……

At dawn the next day, Qin and Xue's family got up and set off.

Before leaving, Master Weng and Mr. Shan urged Qin Xiaomi again: "Mr. Qin, from the first month to the end of February, there will be many families holding weddings. The Qin family workshop must continue to work hard and make more dye soup... Our two families have set up a dyeing workshop in the county. If the Qin family has any problems, they can go to the dyeing workshop to find the manager, and they will help the Qin family."

During the snowy season, dyed cloth is difficult to transport, and there is a risk of spilling the cloth if the cart overturns. Except for the Jia family, the other eight merchants, Wen Jin, Jie Kang, Qu Weng, and Shan Yan, all have dyeing workshops in the county. After dyeing the cloth, they transport the dyed cloth back to the capital, which is much safer.

Because of this, County Magistrate Kang was so happy that he would wake up laughing in his dreams... The eight dyeing factories could bring a lot of money to the county, and also add a lot of political achievements to him.

Qin Xiaomi: "Don't worry, my two masters, our workshop will work hard to deliver the goods."

After getting her assurance, smiles appeared on the faces of Mr. Weng and Mr. Shan.

Xue Dongjia thought of Lin Chahua and said to Qin Xiaomi, "The concubine of Officer Kong, Lin Chahua, has been taken back to the mountains by her family. Before she left, I gave her twenty taels of silver in the name of the Qin family. This money is enough for her to settle down in the mountains."

Qin Xiaomi was attracted by Lin Chahua's ability to identify mountain products and wanted to buy her, so before going to the provincial capital, she asked Xue Dongjia to help settle Lin Chahua.

"How do her family treat her?" Qin Xiaomi asked.

Xue Dongjia said: "Her brother has always felt guilty about what happened to her back then. This time he promised to protect her for the rest of her life, and she herself is willing to return to the mountains."

Because of the shamelessness of Officer Kong, Lin Chahua was very unhappy with the outside world and wanted to go back to the mountains.

However, thanks to the help from the Xue family and the Qin family, Lin Chahua did not hate the people outside the mountain.

"As long as she is happy," Qin Xiaomi said, handing Xue Dongjia a silver note worth twenty taels.

Lin Chahua bravely sued the police officer Kong, which caused the Kong family to suffer heavy losses. This broke the monopoly of the big families on Taifeng Town and helped the Qin family. Qin Xiaomi was very happy to give the money.

Xue Dongjia knew the importance of 'brothers should settle accounts clearly', so he readily took the banknote and then went to give Huang Yanglong some earnest advice. Only after Huang Yanglong got angry did he get in the car and leave.

"Let's go!" The convoys of the Qin, Huang and Jia families also set off for Baofu County.

The weather became colder as they traveled further, and there was even a light snowfall on the way, so their convoy did not reach Baofu County until the afternoon of the seventh day.

Huang Yanglong cursed: "It's so cold, it's really a bitterly cold place. It took me twice as long to get back to the village as it did to get to the city!"

It took only four days to get to the city, but seven days to come back.

"Hiss, my feet are so itchy... Old man Xun, come here quickly and take a look at my feet!" Huang Yanglong, who loved wearing clogs, finally got frostbite. His feet were itchy and painful, and red and swollen like crystal pig's trotters.

Xiao Bai said, "Brother Long, be patient and go to the county first. After you are settled, I will let Elder Xun check your feet."

Huang Yanglong had no choice but to agree.

But the itching and pain were like torture. He screamed all the way, which scared the soldiers guarding the city gate. They thought he had some terminal illness and would not live long.

Xue Dongjia bought a house in the county town, and they settled down there.

As soon as he entered the house, Huang Yanglong urged Old Man Xun to check his feet, and said, "Use strong medicine. I want them to be healed by tomorrow."

Oh, what are you dreaming about?

Old Man Xun said, "Master Huang, this is frostbite. I can only help you alleviate the symptoms. If you want to recover, you have to wait until next spring when the flowers bloom."

Huang Yanglong exploded: "Will the itching and pain last for three months? No, I can't stand it for even a quarter of an hour. You have to think of a way to cure it for me, otherwise I will not live!"

Qin Xiaomi came specially to watch the show, and after listening to it, he said to Old Xun: "Old Xun, since Young Master Huang has said so, then you don't need to treat him, just prepare more funeral gifts for him."

"Funeral gift?" Huang Yanglong was furious: "Qin's daughter, you are so eager for this young master to die, do you want to cooperate with Zheng Nandan?!"

"..." Qin Xiaomi said to Xun Lao: "Prescribe him a medicine to treat his brain, otherwise I'm afraid his brain is not good and he will be rejected by the King of Hell when he goes to the underworld."

Qin Xiaomi ran away after cursing to her heart's content, without giving Huang Yanglong any chance to curse back. Huang Yanglong was so frustrated that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, almost vomiting blood!

Old Man Xun said, "Master Huang, I'll prescribe some medicine for you to soak your hands and feet. You have to soak your hands quickly. If you delay, you might get frostbite on your hands tomorrow."

What the hell? It grows on my hands too!

Huang Yanglong shuddered at the mere thought of it, and hurriedly said, "Prescribe the medicine quickly. If it works well, I will give you a reward of ten taels of silver."

God of Wealth!

Old man Xun's eyes sparkled. He used all his life's skills to write a prescription and asked the servants of the Huang family to get the medicine.

After getting the medicine back, he personally made a bucket of medicine for Huang Yanglong to soak his hands and feet.

After Huang Yanglong soaked in the water for half an hour, the itching and pain in his feet were relieved a lot.

Grandpa Qin was worried about Huang Yanglong, so he came to see him. He was relieved when he saw that he had gotten much better.

After returning to the Qin family's courtyard, he said to Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin, "Tomorrow morning, you should go to the county government office and get the marriage certificate reissued."

But Aunt Qin refused: "Father, I haven't met my mother-in-law yet. After I meet her and get her approval, it won't be too late to come to the county government with my husband to get the marriage certificate."

This?

Grandpa Qin looked at Uncle Qin: "Second Uncle, what do you mean?"

Uncle Qin thought for a moment and said, "Let's listen to Rong Niang this time."

Grandpa Qin did not persuade her any more. He just smiled at Second Aunt Qin and said, "Your mother-in-law is a very kind person. She never bullies her daughter-in-law. She is literate and has escaped famine. So for her, being alive is more important than anything else."

With the reassurance given by Grandpa Qin, Aunt Qin felt much more at ease.

But Grandpa Qin also had his own worries. He never left Uncle Qin's side, fearing that Uncle Qin would become homesick and suddenly run away.

Qin Xiaomi said, "Grandpa, don't worry. If your rebellious son dares to run away again, I will definitely bring my servants to catch him and beat him up three times a day!"

Uncle Qin was furious and glared at her: "You little bitch, how many times have you hit me? I am your uncle. If you hit me again, I will go to the government office and sue you for being disobedient and unfilial!"

Qin Xiaomi sneered and said, "Go ahead and sue me. I have plenty of ways to deal with you anyway."

Uncle Qin was no match for her, so he could only feel aggrieved and yelled, "Has Dalang come back yet? I'm almost starving, let's have dinner quickly."

……

Jiang Dalang went to the county government office and delivered the good wine that Captain Gao had asked him to bring to County Lieutenant Yang.

County Magistrate Yang was very happy to see him and asked him about his life in the capital.

Jiang Dalang explained everything one by one, but before he finished, the drum for leaving the yamen sounded... This was Jiang Dalang's intention. He didn't want to have too much contact with County Magistrate Yang, so he chose this time to come here so that he wouldn't have to spend too much time dealing with County Magistrate Yang.

Tomorrow morning, he will go back to the village with Grandpa Qin and the others. Even if County Captain Yang likes him much, he cannot keep him alone.
