Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After breakfast, Mrs. Zhang prepared to go back to town.

They came yesterday without bringing anything, so they don't have to pack this time.

Mrs. Zhang pulled Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin over and stuffed a piece of silver into Zheng Yuan's hand. When Zheng Yuan was about to refuse, she held his hand tightly and he could not struggle.

"Sisters, I know you are kind people, but I am not an ungrateful person. From yesterday to tonight, you have treated us with the best things, including food and sleep. I don't know if those rough guys made your bed dirty last night. This little bit of silver is my way of making up for it. You don't have to worry about me getting hurt, because my wife gave me a lot of silver before she left."

"Besides, you guys made me proud in front of Mr. Jiang last night. Mr. Jiang also likes the food you cook. After we go back to rest, I'm afraid he will send someone to pick you up again soon. When he tells his wife about it, both you and I will get some benefits."

After hearing what she said, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin accepted it. They really hadn't checked the beds yet. Seeing how muddy they were when they came in yesterday, they were really worried about the beds.

As for cooking at Mr. Zhang's house, it's not impossible. This wealthy family is very generous and they can make money much faster than them getting up early and working late selling ice jelly.

After talking to them, Mrs. Zhang called out to the people she brought with her to get ready to set off.

Young Master Jiang walked slowly in front of them and said, "Madam, go back and tell Madam Zhang that I want to stay at the two aunts' house. You take Aji back and pack some luggage for me. You don't have to come. Just ask the driver to bring Aji back."

what? !

Where to stay? Stay here?!

Isn't this Mr. Jiang's hobby? I saw that he looked bad this morning. Why is he still staying here?

"Oh, Mr. Jiang, this is not possible. How dare I leave you alone in this village? My lady will peel off my skin when I go back!" Before the two of them could speak, Mrs. Zhang tried to persuade Mr. Jiang with a bitter face.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, although we all welcome you to come, we are really embarrassed to keep you here given the situation at home. If you want to eat the taste of your hometown, I will go with you to the mansion to cook. It is really unfair for you to stay here."

"That's right. This is a remote place with nothing in it. It's useless for you to stay here." Duan Minmin also agreed.

You must be kidding. This is ancient times. How can a man like him, who is not related to him, live here with a servant? It doesn't matter to them, but there are many girls in this family. If those gossipy women in the village see this and spread it around, the reputation of these girls will be ruined.

Besides, the young master of the wealthy family had to eat first. I don’t know what other rules there were, and they couldn’t serve him. So, this young master Jiang must not stay.

"What's the difficulty? Aji, you go back with Madam Zhang and tell her what dishes and condiments we often eat there. You can bring them along." Young Master Jiang waved his hand indifferently.

No, kid, we haven't agreed yet, and you treat this as your home?

Zheng Yuan stepped forward and said, "Mr. Jiang, our conditions here are really poor, and I'm afraid we can't entertain you well. Don't worry, as long as you need me, just send a servant to call me at any time, and I will definitely be there at your call."

Mrs. Zhang advised, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, Sister Zheng has already agreed, and she will definitely not break her promise. Otherwise, why don't we let her go with us now and cook for you tonight?"

Hey! My sister Zhang, you really know how to make trouble for me. But if I can get rid of this big Buddha, I'll just go for one day.

"Madam, there is no need to say more. I have already decided. I will stay here for a few days." He had made up his mind this morning. Since the conditions are poor, he would just move him here from the town. Anyway, he absolutely could not go back to Mr. Zhang's house.

"No, Mr. Jiang, we still need to buy manure at home, but it's dirty. We haven't bought the manure yet, and we have to go to the city. I'm really afraid of neglecting you. Besides, I..."

"Five taels of silver a day! Just consider it as your reward for taking us in. Just give us a place to sleep and three meals a day. Is that okay? You don't have to worry about the manure. How much do you need? Is one cart enough? Two carts? Aji will arrange for them to be delivered to you when he returns. Is there anything else you need? Just ask, I can satisfy you. Nanny, please stop persuading me. If I can't stay with you, I will go back to town to pack up my things and go back to Liaodong."

Mr. Jiang interrupted what Zheng Yuan was about to say and said a lot in one breath.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were already stunned when they heard the first sentence "five taels of silver a day". If you have any other needs, just ask. No, are you some ancient little tyrant?

Mrs. Zhang only heard the last sentence, "If we go back to town, we have to pack up and go back to Liaodong." How could this be tolerated?

He hurriedly pulled the two of them aside and looked at them pitifully: "My two sisters, I'm afraid that Mr. Jiang will really have to trouble you to bear with him for a few days. Seeing his attitude is so determined, he must stay here. If I don't give in to his wishes, I will be in big trouble once he leaves. I also know that this is too much to ask, but there is really no other way. I can only ask my two sisters to pity me."

In fact, when they heard about the five taels of silver per day, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had already wavered, but they were just in a daze at that time. Now, Mrs. Zhang pleaded pitifully again, and the two of them agreed. At most, Sanni and Hui Niang would follow and sleep at Duan Minmin's house for the next few days. The girls would not come here except for eating.

Mr. Zhang's family is quite famous in the surrounding area. It is said that his business has even reached the provincial capital, and the county magistrate has to give him some face. I guess these women are more afraid of him than wanting to gossip.

This is definitely not because of the five taels of silver. It's because of our kindness and we can't bear to see Mrs. Zhang being bullied.

The two of them thought so.

Seeing that the two finally nodded, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and Mr. Jiang also looked very happy.

In this collaboration, everyone was very happy except for some problems with the children at home.

After resolving the issue of whether Mr. Jiang should stay or go, Mrs. Zhang took Aji and the others back home. When they left, they promised to deliver the manure that Zheng Yuan and the others needed as soon as possible.

Aji also looked at Mr. Jiang with a worried look on his face, and told him to take care of himself and wait for him to deliver the bedding, luggage and food.

Seeing his eyes filled with tears, if you didn't know better you would think it was a farewell of life and death.

The two of them really wanted to go up and pat Aji on the shoulder, saying, "Young man, you really have a bit of a histrionic personality."

She had completely forgotten the scene a month ago when they parted at Duan Minmin's door. The distance between them was less than a hundred meters, which was much more exaggerated than Aji's.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang and her group left, the yard suddenly became deserted. Mr. Jiang stood there, and the children did not dare to come forward and all huddled in the kitchen.

The two didn't know how to face this financial sponsor, but they felt awkward just staring at each other in silence.

After holding it in for a long time, Duan Minmin asked, "Mr. Jiang, how are your studies? You got excellent grades in school."

Zheng Yuan poked her. Why did she ask about her studies right away? Isn’t this a question only the most annoying relatives would ask?

Duan Minmin reacted and asked again: "Do you have a girl you like? When do you plan to get married?"

Zheng Yuan held his forehead and said, "Stop talking."

The corner of Mr. Jiang's mouth twitched. You are really good at picking problems: "Aunt, my academic performance is OK. My family does not require me to take the imperial examination, so my knowledge is not excellent. I am still young, and I have never had a girl I like, and my family has never been married."

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

Seeing what kind of question she was asking, Duan Minmin was so embarrassed that she wanted to slap herself in the face for asking when someone would get married. Fortunately, this was ancient times. If it were modern times, this would definitely be considered an outlaw.

That's good, what's good about it!

Fortunately, although Mr. Jiang was a little stubborn, he was a polite child and actually answered all the questions one by one.
