The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

After arranging the business in the capital, Jiang Xi took Jiang Youli, Zhao, Jiang Baishu, Tie Niu, and Yu San and boarded the ship with the Duan Yuanzhou brothers.

The weather was fine on the day we left.

On the surface, the marriage between the Song and Jiang families was broken off because of Song Yunting's "death", but Mrs. Song still had people prepare a lot of food and clothes for them for the journey.

It is quite warm when the sun is out in winter, but when it rains or snows, it is quite comfortable to wrap yourself in thick clothes, roast by the fire, and eat roasted peanuts on the boat with the clothes prepared by Mrs. Song.

The journey was relatively smooth and it took fourteen days for the ship to arrive at the dock.

The Jiang family had too much stuff and too many people, so they didn't bother the Duan family and hired three carriages themselves. Jiang Youli took his family home, while Jiang Xi went to the escort agency to settle the bill.

This time when he came back, Xie Kui stayed in the capital and did not return with them.

Jiang Xi asked, but Xie Kui didn't reveal it.

The specific situation is not clear, but it is speculated that it is related to Zhang Muliao. After all, Xie Kui has been looking for the mayor of Qingzhou City, Tie Niu's parents, for a long time.

I guess he wants to see if he can get any information from Zhang's aide.

Jiang Xi and his companions returned to Yunzhou City on the afternoon of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, just in time for the Chinese New Year.

When they returned home, Aunt Zhang and the others were so busy that they were overwhelmed, so Jiang Songshu asked a few aunts from the village to help.

Jiang Songshu was relieved to see Jiang Xi and the others finally coming back. "You guys are finally back! I thought you guys wouldn't be able to make it back for the New Year!"

"By the way, Xian Le gave birth. I have a daughter!"

Jiang Songshu told the good news to Jiang Xi and Jiang Youli.

"Really?"

Jiang Youli, Zhao Shi and Jiang Baishu were all stunned.

They really had forgotten about it.

"I still have time off. It's already two months old."

After hearing Jiang Songshu's words, a group of people immediately swarmed towards Jiang Songshu's room.

Gu Xianle was taking care of the children inside. She heard some lively talking outside, and then a knock on the door.

The door was open. Zhao stood at the door and knocked. "Xianle, we are back. Asong said you gave birth. We came to see you and the baby. Can you come in?"

Gu Xianle quickly straightened her clothes and stood up, then she replied, "Mom, you're back, you can come in."

Gu Xianle was holding a swaddling baby in her arms. Jiang Youli and his wife walked in front, while Jiang Baishu and Tie Niu followed behind with great curiosity.

Jiang Songshu followed in.

Then Tie Niu was heard wondering, "Hey, that's strange. There used to be a sour smell in Big Brother's room, but now it's gone. It smells like milk. It's really nice. Is this the benefit of getting married? I want to get married, too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Songshu poked him on the forehead, "You stinky boy, when did my room smell bad!"

"Also, you little brat want to get married, can you support a wife and a child?"

Jiang Songshu sneered.

Tie Niu was not convinced and said, "I will study hard. When I pass the imperial examination, I can become an official and get a salary!"

Tie Niu raised his chin proudly.

Jiang Baishu pulled him and asked him to go over and see the baby.

He glanced at his elder brother and said, "Brother, Tie Niu is still a child. Why are you arguing with a child?"

Jiang Songshu shook his head helplessly and didn't bother with them.

Jiang Youli and others looked at the child and hurried back to prepare gifts for the child.

Fortunately, they bought a lot of things when they were in Beijing.

The couple went back to their room to pack up. Grandpa Jiang also heard the news at the pig farm and rushed back with Lin Xiaohu.

After not seeing him for half a year, Lin Xiaohu has grown a little taller, but after growing taller, he seems to have become thinner.

When Tie Niu saw Lin Xiaohu, he immediately came over and pulled him to compare his height.

"What do you eat at home? How come you grow so fast? Although you are still a little shorter than me."

Tie Niu asked with his eyebrows frowned.

Jiang Baishu watched from the side and smiled. In fact, the two children are almost the same height now, and Lin Xiaohu is one year younger than Tie Niu.

Lin Xiaohu smiled innocently, "The food cooked by Aunt Zhang is delicious. I always eat the food cooked by Aunt Zhang. I don't eat anything else."

When Lin Xiaohu said this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Mr. Jiang.

There were fewer people at home as they all went to the capital, and Jiang Songshu and Gu Xianle had a newborn child, so they couldn't take care of Lin Xiaohu.

Grandpa Jiang secretly took him to the city to play and bought him candied haws, snacks and the like.

Now that people are back, the Jiang family has become much more lively.

The house was also built, and Jiang Xi and Jiang Baishu's rooms were next to it.

The family was having a lively time. As for the news about Song Yunting, it was the New Year, so Jiang Xi thought about it and decided not to tell Grandpa Jiang and the others for the time being.

Before I came back, I told Jiang Youli and the others that we would talk about it after the Chinese New Year.

The Jiang family was as busy as usual during the New Year, and they didn't give everyone a day off until the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

However, the atmosphere of the Jiang family's New Year this year is even stronger than in previous years, mainly because half of the family members have been away from home for nearly half a year, and another reason is that a new member has been added to the family.

The family gathered together for a reunion dinner, and on the second day of the New Year, Jiang Songshu took Gu Xianle and their two children back to her parents' home.

Jiang Xi had nothing to do, but since Jiang Youli and the others had already passed the Tongshi, they still had to prepare for the Yuanshi. Master Xu from Mingjing Academy said they didn't have the energy to teach them for the time being, so they had to find another academy for the three of them.

So while everyone was free during the New Year holiday, Jiang Xi took the three of them to visit Master Xu.

When it comes to studying, you should ask professionals.

Master Xu recommended two companies to Jiang Xi and promised to inquire for Jiang Youli and the others.

The New Year atmosphere began to fade after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and many people began to go back to work.

Jiang Youli and his friends’ studies have not yet been finalized.

At this time, Song Yulin and his colleagues, after finishing their New Year preparations, came to the Jiang family and told Jiang Xi the news that Madam Song would be arriving in Yunzhou City soon.

Jiang Xi didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

While talking, he mentioned Jiang Youli and others' studies.

Song Yulin said, "We can help with this. The Songshan Academy where we are now is recruiting students. I remember that Uncle Jiang and his two younger brothers ranked high in the examination. They should have no problem getting into Songshan Academy."

Moreover, the monthly tuition fee may be a bit high for ordinary families, but the Jiang family is a business. According to his understanding, their business has now expanded to the capital, so they should be able to afford the tuition for the three of them to study.

Song Yulin also agreed to help ask.

So Jiang Youli and the other two began to prepare for the entrance examinations to various academies.

Jiang Xi found three academies for the three people in total. The channels were found for them, but they had to take the exams on their own.

Jiang Xi was responsible for sending them to the exam. During this period, Mrs. Song finally arrived in Yunzhou City by boat.

After all, she had practiced martial arts and had a solid foundation. After floating on the water for half a month, Mrs. Song did not feel any discomfort.

The Song family has a house in Yunzhou City. Before coming, Mrs. Song wrote a letter, and Song Yunhang and his wife had already arranged for servants to clean the house.

Mrs. Song was of noble status. Unlike Jiang Xi and his companions, who had to ride on someone else's boat to get here, Mrs. Song directly chartered a boat and brought a group of servants with her. After arriving, she moved in directly.

The first two days were spent dealing with relatives in Yunzhou City. On the third day, I had someone prepare gifts and then went to the Jiang family.

Others may not know, but Mrs. Song knows that the two families will still be relatives in the future.

So after finally coming here, I still have to go to the Jiang family.

Jiang Xi received a message from Madam Song. After all, a sudden visit would make it difficult for the host, and this was Madam Song's etiquette.

The Jiang family now knows about Song Yunting's situation, and everyone feels sorry for Jiang Xi.

I didn't expect Jiang Xi's marriage would be so difficult.

She didn't want it when the marriage was first arranged, but she finally accepted it. Now something went wrong with Song Yunting.

But they didn't expect that their marriage would have to be called off, and the Prime Minister's wife would actually come to visit.

The Jiang family prepared for two days.

When Song Yunhang and his wife came to the house for the wedding banquet, the whole family was very nervous. Now that the Prime Minister’s wife has come, they have even paved the door of their house with bluestone slabs.

The Jiang family even couldn't help but grumble in their hearts, why did they have to come to their house? The conditions here are not good, and the key is that they have to be very alert every time they come to their house.

But everyone knows that this cannot be said.

Mrs. Song asked someone to come over in advance to help with cooking.

The problem of food was solved. When the day finally came for her to come, the meals were prepared in the newly built yard of Jiang Xi and his family.

Everyone was very nervous at first, but when the day really came, when they saw Mrs. Song, although she looked noble, she was actually quite kind to them, with a smile on her face.

The meal at the Jiang family went quite smoothly.

During the discussion, the accidental death of Song Yunting was naturally mentioned. Mrs. Song promised in front of everyone that Jiang Xi would be her goddaughter in the future and the two families would still be relatives.

The main reason she came here this time was actually to give an explanation to the Jiang family.

Because according to her and her husband Song Zhaocheng's analysis, Song Yunting's escape would probably make it impossible for him to restore his identity in a short period of time.

After having dinner at the Jiang family, Mrs. Song took Jiang Xi away.

This time she came here not only to give an explanation to the Jiang family, but also for the rice issue.

The two of them have the same goal, and there is an ongoing fight over the position of crown prince in the capital, so no one will pay attention to them for the time being.

So the rice issue went very smoothly.

To the outside world, Mrs. Song used the excuse that she had not been back to Yunzhou City for more than ten or twenty years and that she came personally to investigate the property here.

A lot of pests were also caught.

After getting rid of the pests on his farm, there were no more obstacles to growing rice.

After that, it took the Song family two years to successfully harvest several million kilograms of grain.

It could still be hidden in the first year, but after the harvest in the second year, the whole Da Chu knew about it.

At this time, the struggle for the throne in the capital had reached a fever pitch, and the emperor had not attended the morning court for three consecutive months.

All the government affairs in the court were handed over to the Fourth Prince.

It was at this time that the Hu people suddenly launched another attack.

It is hard not to think that it was because of the grain issue that had just been reported from Da Chu. After all, one acre of land can produce two to three thousand kilograms of grain.

Of course there is another important reason: the old emperor is dying.
