Farming and reading family

The cold touch made Jiang Bu Tong freeze there, his face turned pale, and he didn't even react to how the other party attacked him.

"You, you, don't mess around." Jiang Bu Tong's voice trembled. "This is Qinzhou City, why don't you go and find out who I, Jiang Bu Tong, am."

"I can run." Lu Qingluo said coldly.

Gao E didn't expect Lu Qingluo to take the initiative, but she didn't stop him.

She wanted to build a college, so she would definitely have to deal with books. It would be a good thing if she could make friends with someone who was familiar with books.

Besides, she wanted to buy the book herself, so this was just a favor.

Jin Ruyi glanced at Gao E and found that she was really a child who loved to give away money.

Jiang Bu Tong was a gangster. When he saw Lu Qingluo's look, he knew what kind of person she was and immediately backed down.

"I'm just a debt collector. I still have two days. I'll come back to collect the debt in two days." He immediately backed out.

Lu Qingluo looked at Hong Sheng.

Hong Sheng looked at the six thousand taels of silver in his hand and said, "I'll pay it back now."

As he spoke, he took the abacus and started calculating without stopping, which made Gao E's eyes dazzled. She wondered how a scholar could be so good at using an abacus.

"Today you have to pay me back 4,932 taels and 8 cents, right?" Hong Sheng pushed the abacus in front of Jiang Bu Tong.

Jiang Bu Tong swallowed his saliva and felt the paper cutter on his wrist become a little heavier: "Yes, yes, yes."

"Give me the IOU." Hong Sheng stretched out his hand.

Jiang Bu Tong reluctantly took out the IOU. Hong Sheng looked at it carefully, put it away, and paid back the money without paying a penny more.

As Jiang Bu Tong left in embarrassment, he turned around and glared at Gao Sheng, clearly telling him not to borrow money from him in the future.

Hong Sheng didn't care. "Thank you very much," he said, returning the remaining banknotes to Gao E. "You can choose any book in my bookshop."

Gao E put the banknote away and said, "Sir, just give me a discount."

Hong Sheng found this woman interesting. Even if she helped someone, she didn't want to take advantage of him. "How about this, I'll get you one of every book in the store."

"Thank you." Gao E actually didn't know what book to buy.

Although they were all the same book, there were so many different kinds of books in Hongsheng Bookstore that they filled four full boxes. We had to call a flatbed truck to help move them away.

When they passed by Liuche Bookstore, the book boy who had seen Gao E and others before widened his eyes, wondering whether Gao E was buying or selling books.

When they returned to the inn, Yu Zhao had already come back and said that the escort had been agreed upon and it would cost eighteen taels of silver to deliver the caravan to He County. Gao E didn't know the price for the escort, but Jin Ruyi said it was a reasonable price.

Since she couldn't buy the fur to make clothes, Gao E bought some cloth. She unexpectedly found cotton for sale, so she bought some more.

Cotton has two different prices with and without cotton seeds. The one with cotton seeds is much cheaper. Gao E still bought the one without cotton seeds, and also bought some extra cotton seeds for planting next year.

Although labor is not cheap in the village, Gao E could save some money by picking cotton seeds herself, but that would delay the time of making cotton clothes, which she felt was not cost-effective.

Another big item is iron ingots, but this time Gao E doesn't plan to take the iron ingots back directly to have Old Man Lei forge them. She will wait for Wanwan to see what she needs and then make them.

It was two days later when they finished buying these, and they planned to go back tomorrow.

"Do you want to go find Mo Xun?" Jin Ruyi suddenly asked.

"What do you want to see him for?" Gao E thought that this trip to Qinzhou City went smoothly, so she wanted to go back quickly before anything happened.

"Have you forgotten about helping Que'er find her family?"

Gao E slapped her forehead and said, "I've completely forgotten."

"Then are you going?"

Gao E hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

At least let Mo Xun pay attention to it. It would be best if there is any news.

Let Yu Zhao stay in the inn to watch over the things they bought, and take Lu Qingluo and the other two to the Mo family.

As it turned out, Mo Xun was not at home, so the three of them had to return the same way. When they walked into an alley, they saw a lot of people running in one direction, so the three of them had to step aside.

Jin Ruyi couldn't help but pull someone over and ask curiously, "What happened?"

"Someone has died in the Wei family's mansion again." The man said and ran away.

"The Wei family?" Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E. "Isn't that the Wei family I'm thinking of?"

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Gao E thought that there was no one left in the Wei family, so who else could have died.

"Let's go." Jin Ruyi was very curious.

After going there, I found out that it was really Wei Rongbo's family, but now the owner has changed, and others just got used to calling it the Wei family.

After confirming that it was Wei Rongbo's family, Jin Ruyi went to inquire and found out that after the Wei family was arrested, the house was also sold, and the first person to disappear was the real estate agent who came here to look at the house.

No one noticed it at the time, thinking that the man had gone somewhere on his own.

After all, not all brokers who have been to the Wei family will disappear.

Then the first person who bought the Wei family mansion died, apparently from being frightened to death. The family immediately sold the house at a low price and moved out.

The second family had only moved in for two days when the elderly person in the family was dismembered to death. The whole family was so scared that they even reported the case to the police.

So rumors spread that the Wei family mansion was haunted.

Some people didn't believe it and lived there for a few days without any problem. But when they were holding a party to celebrate, something strange happened again. Someone hit himself to death in the yard.

This further confirmed that the Wei family mansion was haunted.

Some people said that Wei Rongbo’s soul had returned and didn’t want anyone else to stay in his house.

In order to calm the situation, the government invited an enlightened monk to perform a ritual, but the monk disappeared in the house, and even the government officials did not dare to intervene.

The Wei family mansion became a place for the young masters of Qinzhou City to test their courage. Tonight, a few young masters went in, and it seemed that something happened again. They ran out screaming and pissing their shit, and two of them were missing.

After Jin Ruyi found out, she looked at Gao E in confusion: "Do you believe it?"

Gao E shook her head: "I never believe in supernatural powers."

Even though she was a time traveler, she didn't believe these things.

Jin Ruyi also didn't believe it: "Could it be that someone is playing tricks and plotting something?"

"What is there for people to plot against the Wei family?" Gao E was puzzled.

Jin Ruyi didn't know either.

But I think I can go back and ask Wei Rongbo, maybe he knows what's going on.

Soon, government officials arrived, but no one dared to enter the Wei family mansion. They only took the young masters back for questioning.

The three of them also turned around and went back to the inn, intending to have a good rest before returning to Huixian County tomorrow.

"Have you ever asked about the news about Mr. Ye?" Gao E suddenly asked.

"I met him in the bookstore that day. Judging from his appearance, asking him about it would only make me feel upset." Jin Ruyi said unhappily.

Gao E smiled helplessly.

"But he's waiting for me." Jin Ruyi said confidently.

The next day, Yu Zhao asked the escort to go to Jin's business to pick up the goods, and then bring the things they bought in the past few days back to Hui County.

This trip to Qinzhou City went smoothly, and Gao E even had time to read a book in the carriage on the way back.

But He Tangchun didn't have the time for this, as the memorial he had sent to the capital had finally received a reply.
