My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.
Chapter 86 Are you trying to bribe me again?
This was Ji Yunshuang's third time shopping in Hongdu since she came. The previous two times she had been in a hurry and hadn't had time to stroll around the streets properly.
Today, Ji Yunshuang had some rare free time, so she strolled slowly along the street.
However, the shopping experience wasn't very good.
Oxen, donkeys, and horses were the main means of transportation in this era.
In Hongdu, cattle, horses, and donkeys are not restricted from roaming freely on the streets.
This has resulted in animal feces being seen on the street from time to time. Human feces can also sometimes be found in street corners.
There were many more refugees on the street than she had seen on previous visits, and there were also more soldiers patrolling the streets.
She hadn't been gone long when she encountered several violent incidents. However, thanks to the frequent patrols by soldiers, nothing too serious happened in the end.
Of course, none of this affected Ji Yunshuang's mood.
It's just that the streets aren't clean enough, but that's much better than zombies that suddenly rush out and bite people!
After looking around, she concluded that no matter the era, it's always easier to make money off the rich.
Although the streets were filled with refugees and ordinary people were starting to feel nervous, the truly wealthy and powerful continued to leisurely enjoy tea, fine meals, and expensive snacks.
If you want to make money, you have to work on these powerful and influential people.
After taking a walk around and getting a general idea of what was going on, Ji Yunshuang picked up her bundle and went to the government office.
There are several times more refugees outside the government building today than when she last came.
Ji Yunshuang was tiptoeing to look inside when she saw Jiang Xuannian walking towards her.
"Lord Liang's niece, you've come to bring your uncle food again?" Jiang Xuannian raised his thick eyebrows, his face was smiling, but he scared the child next to him so much that he almost cried.
Ji Yunshuang's lips twitched slightly, and she smiled, "Indeed! Lord Jiang, it's so good to see you. There are so many people today, I couldn't even see my uncle. Could you take me to see him?"
As she spoke, she took an oil paper bag out of her bundle and handed it over.
Jiang Xuannian still vividly remembers the shredded beef with lanterns that Ji Yunshuang made last time. And the sachima he brought home is something his family still fondly remembers.
Upon seeing what Ji Yunshuang handed him, Jiang Xuannian's smile became even more genuine.
The child beside him finally couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. The woman next to him quickly covered the child's mouth and kept apologizing to Jiang Xuannian.
Jiang Xuannian's smile froze instantly.
He knew he looked fierce, but his smile could scare children to tears... This left him with mixed feelings.
Ji Yunshuang almost burst out laughing when she saw his expression.
Seeing Ji Yunshuang desperately trying to suppress her laughter, Jiang Xuannian said speechlessly, "Come on, I'll take you to find your uncle."
The two entered the government office one after the other.
In the corner, Lu Bingchun and his sons, who were watching Ji Yunshuang talking familiarly with the officials, all stared wide-eyed.
"Father, isn't that Lady Ji? I'm not mistaken, am I? How did she get involved with the official?"
Lu Wuze was deeply shocked and couldn't believe that Ji Yunshuang actually had such abilities. Thinking about how they had barely escaped death since breaking with his aunt's family, a deep sense of regret welled up in his heart once again.
He blamed all the mistakes on his mother, Liu.
They felt that it was because she had a sharp tongue and offended someone that Lu Yinheng ultimately decided to sever ties with their family.
They said that if it weren't for her, they wouldn't be in this situation.
“It’s all Mother’s fault. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have fallen out with Aunt’s family. If we had continued traveling with Aunt’s family, we might be connected with the officials now.”
Now, in order to feed his family, he has had to sell both of his daughters.
Ever since he sold his two daughters, his wife hasn't spoken to him. After he beat her, she secretly ran away while they were sleeping.
Thinking of his wife who had run away, Lu Wuze cursed inwardly. He should have sold that bitch off with him. Now that she was gone, he hadn't gotten a single penny. The thought made him furious.
“Therefore, one should marry a virtuous wife. Their whole family is lucky to have married such a good wife.” Lu Bingchun now shares the same thought as his sons, believing that everything is Liu’s fault.
He completely ignored the fact that he had tacitly approved of everything Liu did.
More often than not, he deliberately let Liu rush to the front to seek benefits for the family.
He blamed his family's current predicament on Liu, believing that it was because he hadn't married a good wife that they were so unlucky.
The reason why Lu Yinheng's family was able to escape smoothly to Jiangzhou and settle down was entirely because both generations of them had married good wives.
Her younger brother died, and Gu Chunzhi, a widow, managed to raise several children.
Lu Yinheng was a man of few words, far less talkative than his sons, all because he married Ji Yunshuang, a capable wife…
Ji Yunshuang was unaware of what Lu Bingchun's family was thinking.
She followed Jiang Xuannian into the government office and discovered that Liang Sheng was not outside handling the distribution of refugees like the other clerks.
This time, Jiang Xuannian led her directly into a large room before leaving.
She paused for a moment, wondering if Liang Sheng's identity was not that of a mere clerk.
Although she was puzzled, she showed no sign of it on her face. As if she hadn't noticed anything amiss, she smiled and called out to Liang Sheng, "Uncle."
Liang Sheng looked up, glanced at Ji Yunshuang sideways, then picked up his pen and wrote a few words on the paper before putting it down, straightening his sleeves, and standing up. "Why are you here again?"
"Didn't we agree that I would visit Uncle more often after I settled down? Look what delicious food I've made for you."
As she spoke, Ji Yunshuang began taking things out of her bundle. Liang Sheng, meanwhile, stared at her bag with anticipation.
The food that Ji Yunshuang brought him last time was truly unforgettable. For the next few days, he found eating anything else tasted like chewing wax.
"This shredded beef in lantern sauce is something I made today. Look, have my skills improved?"
After the shredded beef was taken out, it smelled even better. Liang Sheng couldn't resist any longer and directly picked up a few strands of beef with his hand and put them in his mouth.
He nodded repeatedly, "Great, delicious! Even better than last time, my niece's cooking skills have improved so much!"
Ji Yunshuang smiled modestly on the surface, but inwardly rolled her eyes.
Could it not taste even better? This is a ready-made product she took directly from her spatial dimension. It's all made with Hextech technology.
Then, she took out a lot of sachima and glutinous rice strips, and finally took out a bag of fried peas.
Liang Sheng had eaten both Sachima and Jiangmi Tiao, but he had never tried stir-fried peas. After finishing his shredded beef with shredded beef, he took a few peas and put them in his mouth to taste.
The stir-fried peas were fragrant and crispy, but they paled in comparison to the shredded beef with shredded vegetables.
"Speak, you've brought so much delicious food to bribe me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Ji Yunshuang said, "It's nothing, really, I just came to see my uncle."
Liang Sheng looked clearly unconvinced. "Just to bring me food, you'd come all the way into the city?"
“It’s not that I came to the city alone to bring food to my uncle.” Ji Yunshuang said with a sly smile, “I’m doing a small business with some people from the village. I came to the city to do business, so I just stopped by to see you.”
Liang Sheng glanced at the food she brought. "Selling food?"
Ji Yunshuang nodded.
Mr. Liang then asked if he needed any help.
Ji Yunshuang quickly shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it.
"I told you, I just stopped by to drop by. If you still don't believe me, I won't come next time."
Mr. Liang also felt that with her excellent food-making skills, she didn't need his help at all to make the business thrive.
Moreover, given her intelligence, she certainly wouldn't want to ask him for a favor over such a trivial matter.
He smiled approvingly, then suddenly remembered something and revealed a few details to her.
