Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Seeing that they looked indifferent and didn't seem to be pretending to refuse, Mr. Jiang withdrew his hand and no longer insisted.

His family was in business, and some of his family members were officials in the court. He had met countless people of all kinds since he was a child, and he could still tell the true from the false. At this moment, he looked at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin with a little more appreciation.

I didn't expect that there would be two such women in this mountain village.

"Since Auntie is determined not to accept me, I won't be polite. But it's getting late now, and the road is muddy and difficult to travel. It might be dangerous to rush back to Zhonghe Town overnight. I wonder if Auntie can let us stay for one night?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at them helplessly. She felt embarrassed, but what else could she do?

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin also thought of this, but there were no extra beds in the house for so many of them to sleep on. Besides, the other servants were fine, but Mr. Jiang was so delicate and tender, could he stand this cold cloth quilt?

But looking at the dark night outside, it started to drizzle, so it was indeed unsafe to travel at night.

"It's not difficult to find a place to stay, but this is the condition in our village. We are afraid of wronging Mr. Jiang in a cold house with broken quilts."

"It's okay. Auntie's willingness to take you in is already a trouble for you. Why would a junior care about these things? Besides, Auntie underestimates me. My family is a merchant family, and I have been traveling a lot over the years. It is inevitable that I will be delayed by things and miss the next resting place. There is no village in front of me and no shop behind me. Even in the wilderness, I have slept once or twice."

Looking at Mr. Jiang's proud expression, Zheng Yuan thought that he had underestimated this noble young man, as he was actually a man who had endured a lot of hardships.

If that’s the case, it’s easy to deal with.

The two of them discussed it and found that there was an empty bed in Duan Minmin's house. There were three rooms, so Mrs. Zhang slept in that empty room, and the two of them and Sanni slept in Duan Minmin's room. The bed in the room with the three girls was bigger, so Xu Hui Niang went to sleep with them.

As for Zheng Yuan's family, the three brothers will sleep in Zheng Yuan's room, Mr. Jiang will sleep in Sanni's room, and the remaining six servants and the groom will be assigned to Dashu and Erhe's rooms.

Logically speaking, girls' rooms should not be allowed to be occupied by boys, but there was really no other way. Late in the night, Zheng Yuan didn't want to take a group of people to knock on doors in the village to see if they had any empty rooms.

Besides, it is still raining outside. Who knows if it will get heavy tonight? After all, the roofs of both of our houses have just been reinforced today.

It was already late after the rooms were assigned, and Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were about to take Mrs. Zhang out to Duan Minmin's house. Erhe suddenly rushed over and grabbed Zheng Yuan, who looked back in confusion.

Erhe pulled Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin by their sleeves and pulled them aside: "Mom, Auntie, how are we going to run our ice jelly business tomorrow with them here? We haven't prepared anything yet!"

"I was wondering why you looked so nervous tonight, twisting and turning around. It turns out you were worried about this. But Erhe, why don't you take a look at the sky? It's so cold. Who are we going to sell this ice jelly to?" Zheng Yuan poked his head with amusement.

Erhe finally realized what was happening after hearing this. He had been worrying for nothing all night. If there was a crack in the ground, he really wanted to crawl into it.

After answering Erhe's questions and giving Dashu some advice, the group went to Duan Minmin's house.

Since life became better, Duan Minmin often took her daughters to clean the house. Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied that the house was shabby but clean and tidy without any peculiar smell.

After a tiring day, she could finally lie down. After taking off her dirty clothes, Mrs. Zhang lay on the bed, sighed comfortably, and soon fell asleep.

Mr. Jiang listened to the snoring coming from other rooms but couldn't fall asleep. Why is this bed so hard? The quilt is also hard. If I don't cover it, this room will be as cold as an ice cave.

It wasn't that Mr. Jiang lied, he had indeed lived in the wild with the caravan. But he knew that they might have to sleep outdoors, so the servants had already prepared all the necessary items, spread a thick blanket in the carriage, and it was quite interesting to listen to the chirping of insects and birds in the wild.

But he was in a hurry to leave today and had not prepared anything. He did not expect that the two women's homes were so shabby. Now it was difficult to take back the boast he had made. He could not wake up Madam Zhang in the middle of the night to hurry on.

Thinking about it, he sat up and slapped himself lightly. What kind of thing is this? He hid himself in the ditch just to avoid a girl. If he had known, he would have told Mrs. Zhang directly. Mainly, he didn't expect that the family of a person who could cook Liaodong dishes thousands of miles away would be so simple. He thought that he might be a businessman or a bodyguard, and his family should be quite well-off.

I never thought it would be like this. What a mistake.

After sitting there for a while, unable to think of anything, Mr. Jiang lay back down heavily, and a bang was heard in the darkness.

Fuck! Can this bed be any harder?

After lying down for a while, he gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were awakened by the crowing of roosters. This was truly a purely biological alarm clock.

With that in mind, the two of them decided not to stay in bed.

I opened the door and saw Mrs. Zhang standing in the yard, stretching lazily. It wasn't raining, but it was still foggy.

"Sister Zhang, good morning! How did you sleep?" The two greeted Mrs. Zhang.

"I slept so soundly that I don't even want to get up. I'm so sorry that I made you squeeze together last night. I'm afraid you didn't sleep well." Mrs. Zhang yawned.

"No, we just like to sleep in the same bed."

Since Mrs. Zhang got up, the four of them, taking Sanni with them, headed towards Zheng Yuan. Tao'er and the others stayed behind to cook the pig food before coming over.

When she turned the corner, she saw Liu Cuilan standing in her yard, craning her neck to look towards Zheng Yuan's house. When she heard the noise from Zheng Yuan and the others, she turned around and saw Mrs. Zhang standing next to them. She was so scared that she ran into the kitchen.

These two widows have really married into a rich family. Even the manager has come to their house?

Seeing her sneaky look, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin simply couldn't bear to watch. How could this old woman be so secretive?

When I entered the courtyard, the servants had all gotten up. It seemed that no one had caught a cold. They were standing in the courtyard helping Erhe turn over the firewood. I didn't see Mr. Jiang, so he must have not gotten up yet.

Erhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them coming in: "Mom, my elder brother is lighting a fire inside. I'll turn some more firewood in to heat it."

He really didn't know what to do with so many people surrounding him. He felt much better when his mother came.

Zheng Yuan nodded and asked Erhe to light a fire for Mrs. Zhang and the others. She and Duan Minmin went to the kitchen because there were a lot of dishes to prepare this morning.

The big tree has started a fire and water is boiling in the pot.

Let's have zongzi rice this morning, but this dish is difficult to make as the ingredients are limited and there's not much you can do to make it.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Yuan went to the room and took out seventy copper coins. He called Erhe and handed them to him: "Erhe, go to your grandfather's house and ask if he can sell us two chickens. If he doesn't have any, you can go to the village chief's house. By the way, if you sell them, ask them to kill and process them before bringing them back. The extra five cents is for the killing and processing of the chickens. Also, if they have any unused pots, bring one over. Tell your grandmother to accept it, otherwise I don't want these chickens and I'll buy them from someone else's house."

It just so happened that the children at home hadn’t eaten chicken for a long time, so I simply bought two and stewed them.

Erhe took the copper coin and ran outside. He could eat chicken now. He almost forgot what chicken tasted like. Although he had been eating well recently, he was still very excited when he heard that he was going to buy chicken.

Mrs. Zhang naturally heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, and she was even more satisfied with them. Her family was so poor, but they still wanted to buy chickens to entertain guests. She must give them some money later.

If the two of them knew what Mrs. Zhang was thinking, they would definitely say that it was not necessary, elder sister, and that it was mainly because they were greedy.
