The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1289 Preparing for the County Examination (1)

Cheng Guqing bought a bunch of jewelry for her daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and even Dazhuang got some.

Even if your little one doesn't like wearing these things, it's never a bad idea to buy them and pass them on to your children and grandchildren.

As for the two sons and sons-in-law who stayed at home, he just gave them two taels of silver and didn't bother to think about it.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren came out to eat in the morning, went shopping at noon, and continued to eat in the afternoon.

When Dazhuang heard about dry rice, he was delighted and said cheerfully, "Grandma, the food in Yangjiang Mansion is better than that in Yuzhou Mansion. I like to eat braised pig's trotters."

I don’t know why, although they are not from the same place, the taste of the food in Yangjiang Mansion is more suitable. Dazhuang ate with relish and grew a lot taller.

Of course, even if it was pig food, Da Zhuang would eat it, but it just wouldn't taste delicious.

When Boss Xu heard about eating pig's trotters, he ran over and said with a smile, "Mother, I like eating pig's trotters too. I love eating them one by one."

Who doesn’t like eating meat, especially braised meat, it’s so delicious.

So the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren found a small restaurant, ordered several dishes, and bought several pig's trotters, which they ate with big mouthfuls. The way they ate looked like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

The restaurant owner couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren eating in this way.

No wonder he is so strong, it turns out it’s all thanks to his money. Look at the way he eats, how can he eat like this without a rich family?

Oh, how many pigs does this family have to kill to maintain such a life?

From a few words, the shopkeeper already knew that the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were butchers, and thought that they had to kill pigs endlessly to support themselves.

As the sun sets, Cheng Guqing and the other two return to the large warehouse of the Bai Family Escort Agency.

The white escort leader smiled and said, "Madam Cheng, you are back. What did you buy today?"

Cheng Guqing said cheerfully, "I bought some gifts for the kids at home."

Then he asked, "Captain Bai, when will you return to Jiqing Mansion?"

The escort mission in Xujia Village is completed. After a short rest, we will return to Xujia Village.

Bai Biaotou was different; it would take him more than half a month to reach Jiqing Prefecture. They continued on their way.

The white escort leader shook his head and said, "It's still unknown at the moment. When there are escorts here, we can follow them back."

Going back to the base camp by myself is not only tiring but also expensive, so I have to borrow an escort order to return to Jiqing Prefecture.

Cheng Guqing nodded, showing his understanding, and then asked, "Captain Bai, if you return to Jiqing Mansion, could you bring us some gifts for our relatives and friends?"

Thinking of Master Li in Jiqing Mansion, he took advantage of the presence of acquaintances to send him a letter or some specialties from Xujia Village.

When the Bai Family Escort Agency returns to Jiqing Prefecture, it will not pass through Shangyuan County, but will pass through Panlong Town. Panlong Town is only half a day away from Xujia Village, so the journey is not far.

Bai Biaotou nodded and said, "Okay, if we pass through Panlong Town, we will send someone to Xujia Village to help you bring your things."

Not only will they continue to cooperate with Xujia Village in the future, but the fact that Xujia Village knows Xie Qingren is enough for the Baijia Escort Agency to make good friends with.

If you don’t cling to a relationship that is right in front of you now, when will you?

Through two collaborations, Bai Biaotou realized that Xie Qingren and Xujiacun were very familiar with each other and had a deep relationship.

Even though the status of the two parties is very different, their relationship is so good, which is really enviable.

Those of them who travel all over the country, whether in the white, black or gray worlds, need to manage their business well. It doesn't matter if they take up half a day to help.

Cheng Guqing said gratefully, "Thank you, Chief Bai."

What a good person he is, and good people will have a peaceful life.

After everyone chatted for a while, Zhang Shaotao also came back from outside.

So the three of them began to settle the accounts and took out the silver won by the Bai family's escorts in order to sort out the account books.

One was earned from suppressing bandits, and the other was earned from escorting an escrow agent to the Guangtong Escort Agency. With this calculation, the Bai family's escort also made a lot of money this time.

The white escort leader sighed and said, "It's better to follow Brother Zhang and Madam Cheng to escort together. We can earn more than if we went alone. This time, the brothers can get a good amount of escort fees and go home."

Zhang Shaotao smiled and said, "Captain Bai, this was purely a coincidence. We may not meet again in the future."

There are risks, but the rewards are also great. The men in Xujia Village are crazy about money. Even if they know the dangers, they will continue to do it if they encounter them in the future.

Anyway, escorting a bodyguard is a dangerous job, and adding more danger will do the same.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk.

The white escort leader shook his head and said, "I believe we can meet again in the future. It's safer to escort with you than to escort on my own, and I can earn more. We will definitely continue to cooperate in the future."

After hearing this, Cheng Guqing said cheerfully, "Boss Bai, if there's a big deal, please introduce it to us. Haha, we'd be delighted to work together."

The Baijia Escort Agency was also straightforward and followed Xujiacun's instructions throughout the entire process. They were hardworking and willing to work hard, although their fighting power was not as strong as Xujiacun's.

But it is already remarkable that we have achieved the goal of "working together". Next time there is a chance, I will definitely cooperate with the Bai Family Escort Agency.

The white escort leader returned with the heavy silver, walking with a strong and powerful manner. He was indeed happy to have made money.

Cheng Guqing asked Zhang Shaotao, "Nephew Shaotao, when are we going home? I see the villagers are waiting impatiently and can't wait to go back."

Zhang Shaotao smiled and said, "I'll go back early the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going to go to the bookstore and look for some books to add to the school."

No matter where he went, Zhang Shaotao would generously use public funds to buy materials for the school.

As long as I see something suitable, I will buy it even if it is a little expensive.

Alas, the funding of a school is higher than the cost of their sales. It turns out that knowledge needs to be purchased with money.

Although Cheng Guqing felt the pain, he was still very supportive of studying.

It was like fleeing from a disaster. If it weren't for the scholar, they would have no idea where to go.

A scholar needs to be trained from the bottom up and requires investment of money.

Cheng Guqing didn't know how promising the children in the village were. He only wanted to guide them in the right direction when they were on the run. Therefore, studying became extremely important.

Cheng Guqing nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go back the day after tomorrow and spend another day shopping tomorrow."

The next morning, Zhang Shaotao took people out shopping, and Cheng Guqing also took Dazhuang out for a walk.

In Yang Jiang Mansion, Cheng Guqing did have an acquaintance, Miss Jiang from the Tongzhi family. However, thinking that Miss Jiang should be married, it would be inappropriate to disturb her, so he simply took Dazhuang to continue shopping.

Boss Xu wanted to follow again.

Cheng Guqing waved his hand impatiently: "You stay here in the warehouse, Dazhuang and I will go out."

It's really dazzling when three generations of grandparents and grandchildren go out together. It's better to be low-key and pragmatic.

Boss Xu pursed his lips, looking aggrieved.

Cheng Gu ignored him, pulled Da Zhuang, and ran out quickly with big strides.

As for Boss Xu, just go and have fun.
