136. A box of silver(1/2)
Qingyang Lane is located in the south of Hexingfu City. It is relatively close to the wharf. There are many shops coming and going, not as quiet as the north of Hexingfu. Therefore, the upper class and even rich people in Hexingfu are unwilling to live here.
However, the houses here are quite large and have a good location, so the poor cannot live here.
When Brother Zhao Jin bought a house, he considered the geographical location and the price, and then settled his home here. Now, Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu have been living here for two months.
When Zhao Fugui and his wife left Hexi Village where they lived since childhood, they came here a little bit unaccustomed to it.
When Zhao Jin and Zhao Mingzhu were together, this unfamiliarity could be ignored. But a few days ago, Zhao Jin took Zhao Mingzhu out and brought Li and Ruoer there.
"I don't know where they are now. Mingzhu misses me... Alas, if I had known, I would have gone with Brother Jin." Zhao Liu sighed. She missed her son. Of course, she missed her granddaughter even more now.
Her son is really, and he actually plans to take Mingzhu to sea to pick up Jiang Zhen. What should I do if Mingzhu has a headache and fever at sea?
Zhao Liu thought about this and sighed again.
Since Zhao Fugui moved into this house, he began to mess with the land in the house.
This house used to be lived by a small businessman. The small businessman was not very rich, so it was impossible to plant any precious flowers and plants in the yard. So he planted two loquat trees, two peach trees, and very ordinary flowers and plants such as the Impotence Rose.
It is said that in summer, this place used to be very beautiful, but now...
Zhao Fugui thinks that being beautiful is useless, and growing flowers is definitely not as good as growing vegetables.
It costs money to buy vegetables in this mansion, and he has nothing to do all day long, so he might as well cultivate the land in the yard and grow some vegetables.
This yard is so big that it is definitely enough for them to eat after growing vegetables!
With such thoughts, Zhao Fugui reclaimed the land every day, and now he has turned the garden into a vegetable garden. Zhao Liu sighed that at this moment, he was catching insects in the vegetable garden.
"What are you going to do with me? If you are sick, you have to worry about them." Zhao Fugui said, and then continued to catch insects.
Zhao Liu also knew that she was not in good health and would definitely not be able to follow her when she went to sea, but she was still not very happy to hear Zhao Fugui say this. She glared at Zhao Fugui, who was only concerned about catching insects and did not talk to him, and opened the door and went out.
In the alley of Qingyang Lane, there were many children running around and playing. Shuang'er, a woman who was about the same age as Zhao Liu, was moving a stool and sitting at the door, watching her children while doing some work, and chatting with her neighbors.
What these women talked to Shuang'er was just gossip about the parents and the other family, and the Zhao family was their favorite conversation recently.
Since someone went to Zhao's house to tell Brother Zhao Jin about his marriage and learned that Zhao Jin was actually a Shuang'er, people living in Qingyang Lane would "tsk tsk" a few times in private when they mentioned the Zhao family.
They thought the Zhao family was the old parents with the widower son and granddaughter, but in the end... it turned out that the old parents had Shuang'er son and granddaughter with Shuang'er's surname?
"Then Zhao Liu said that her family found a son-in-law who came to her house, and said that there are so many son-in-laws there... they are so good at bragging!"
"That's right, her son-in-law is so capable, and she will still be a son-in-law?"
"I also said how gentle and considerate her son was to her son... If her son married a wife, I believe that he was so considerate, but that was a man!"
"That's still a man that no one has seen before, and I don't know if it really exists."
...
When he wanted to tell his niece to Brother Zhao to be a house-filling woman and a few women she had acquainted with secretly talked about the Zhao family. While he was talking, he looked at Zhao Liu with a meaningful look.
Zhao Liu noticed these people and knew that what they said was probably not good things, but she really couldn't do anything to them.
She had actually explained to them that Jiang Zhen had a good relationship with her Jin Ge'er, and that Jiang Zhen was a very good person, but obviously, no one believed him at all.
Thinking of this, Zhao Liu felt depressed.
In Hexi Village, she didn't need to say anything, everyone knew how good Jiang Zhen was, but here...
Zhao Liu took a deep breath and ignited his fighting spirit - one day, she would make these people envy her!
"Brother from the Zhao family, I haven't seen your son and your granddaughter these days. Where have they been?" asked another neighbor who had no deep friendship with Zhao Liu, but had a bad relationship.
"My brother Jin took Mingzhu to find Mingzhu's father." Zhao Liu said.
"What exactly did Mingzhu's father do? Why haven't he seen him for so long?" the man asked again. Speaking of which, there were so many gossips related to the Zhao family, which was actually related to the legendary son-in-law of the Zhao family who had never appeared.
Brother Zhao Jin, Shuang'er, showed up all day, but his man could not see anyone... Normal people would definitely think there was something wrong here!
"Mingzhu's father, that's a big business. He has a large fleet and it will take a long time to go out to do business." Zhao Liu said. She didn't know about Jiang Zhen's trip to Hongjiang Salt Field. What Zhao Jin told her was that Jiang Zhen took on a big business and was going to go far.
Returning the fleet... The man glanced at Zhao Liu's family, then looked at Zhao Fugui who was growing vegetables in the Zhao family's yard.
The Zhao family is from the countryside, and the mud on their legs has not been washed clean. Even if they have some money, they may not be much more than them... Zhao Liu actually said that there is a large fleet and going out for business... I think it must be a brag.
She wanted to talk to Zhao Liu, but Zhao Liu was all kinds of excuses, and it was boring to say nothing about the truth.
The man snorted softly: "The man you are looking for is really capable. He has a fleet!"
The man's tone was not a praising person, but was clearly a satirizing person. Zhao Liu knew that she was afraid that she would not believe what she said, so she wanted to explain: "I didn't lie to you. My Jiang Zhen is so powerful. Do you know that Jin Zhen's escort agency? It was opened by him. He also went to the capital two years ago."
These people really have no impression of the Jin Zhen escort agency, and they don’t think it is so powerful.
In Hecheng County, almost every household knows the Jinzhen Escort Agency, but this is a city. People who don’t go out to do business will not care about the foreign Jinzhen Escort Agency at all. Even if I heard of it, I thought it was just a group of poor people gathered together to serve as guards.
The man didn't want to continue talking to Zhao Liushi, but went to the few people who had been talking about Zhao Liushi before, and then told what Zhao Liushi had just said.
"She is so good at bragging. If she said that her son's man was a book crew in those large fleets, I believe that she would just say that her family has a large fleet... Her family is so powerful, how could her man dig the flowers in the garden and serve vegetables?"
"That's right... By the way, even if Brother Zhao Jin's man went out to do business, there was no reason for Brother Zhao Jin to suddenly move here after his man went out! Do you think there is something else in it?"
"Think about it carefully, what she said may not be a lie... You guys say, is it possible that Brother Zhao Jin is someone else's outdoor room?"
"Who would have such an outdoor room? But after you said this, I remembered a possibility... Brother Zhao Jin had dug up the pregnant mole on his eyebrows. I thought he was planning to treat himself as a man. You said, would he be a sailor for someone and finally got involved in a businessman and got pregnant?"
"It's really possible. There are no women on the boat. Even if those sailors are anxious, men can make do with it. He is a Shuang'er after all... and he is better than those smelly sailors..."
"So, that brother Zhao Jin's man may really have some skills?"
"But that way, you're not a son-in-law at all, right?"
...
Everyone was talking, and a □□-year-old boy ran in from outside the alley, shouting as he ran: "Go and see! There are so many big ships coming from the dock, they are sea boats! There are also strangely shaved Eastern ronin on those boats!"
When the children in Qingyang Lane heard him say this, they were all excited: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. The boat is so big! I heard that someone came back from the sea and made a lot of money?" The boy said, and then called a group of children to go to the dock to watch the fun.
There are maritime merchants here in Hexing Mansion, but few sea boats come to Fucheng, so children rarely see those very large ships.
Almost all the children in Qingyang Lane ran out, but after a while, they came back again.
"Why are you back? Don't look at the big boat?" A woman asked her grandson.
"Grandma, there are many people coming from the big boat, coming towards us!" the boy said to his grandma.
"Those people are so good, what are we doing here?" The woman was puzzled. At this moment, she saw several carriages entering Qingyang Lane, and there were many children next to the carriage.
The carriage driver thought that he was afraid of hurting the child, so he did not dare to take the carriage very fast. The speed of the carriage was quite slow, making people see clearly what those carriages looked like.
Those carriages looked magnificent, and if they weren't particularly rich, they would definitely not be able to sit on them!
"Grandma, I saw the uncle of the Zhao family in the carriage." A child said.
The uncle of the Zhao family? In their alley, the newly moved family named Zhao. Brother Zhao Jin was in this carriage? How is that possible?
Everyone was not convinced, and those carriages stopped at the door of Zhao's house.
Zhao Liu also saw these carriages. At first, he wondered who the person was. Then, he saw the carriage stop at his door. Then, Jiang Ming jumped out of the carriage.
"Old lady!" Jiang Ming shouted to Zhao Liushi.
When Zhao Liu saw Jiang Ming, he was extremely surprised: "It's Jiang Ming! Could it be... Jiang Zhen is back?"
"Mom." Jiang Zhen called out, got off the carriage, and was still holding Zhao Mingzhu in his hand. Some days I haven't seen him, but Zhao Mingzhu is not so close to him. He is now working hard to develop a relationship with his daughter.
"Mom." Brother Zhao Jin also came down, his face full of joy.
"You are back! It's good if you are back, it's good if you are back!" Zhao Liu was very happy.
"Mom, let's go in first and move the food in by the way." Jiang Zhen said, carrying Brother Zhao Jin in, walked in for two steps, stopped again, and then greeted the people outside: "You move all the food in first. I have ordered food in the restaurant. When you move it, the food should be delivered. Everyone can have a good meal at that time."
"Yes, boss!" Jiang Ming and others said in unison, and were immediately full of energy.
God knows how much they want to eat delicious food!
Those who followed Jiang Zhen, and those who were sent by Zheng Yi to help, all of them worked together, and then moved all the heavy boxes into the Zhao family's house.
"Where are there so many boxes?" Zhao Liu was a little confused.
"Someone will come to get the boxes later. Let's put them in the yard first." Jiang Zhen said. The boxes were filled with gold and silver given by Zhu Erlin. It was impossible for him to leave all the gold and silver around him. Therefore, he had already contacted the ticket number of Hexing Mansion and asked someone to count the gold and silver, and then exchange it for him with silver bills.
"The old man's food is going to be crushed." Zhao Liu felt a little sorry for the dishes.
"Mom, there's money inside." Jiang Zhen leaned over and whispered.
In so many boxes, everything contained silver? Zhao Liu's eyes suddenly widened.
At this time, how could she care about the vegetables that Zhao Fugui grows?
That dish was originally grown by Zhao Fugui when he was idle. It was not worth one or two silver dollars. If it was crushed, it would be crushed. There was no need to care at all!
Zhao Liu jumped up, then called Jiang Ming and others to put the boxes one by one in the yard, very excited.
Zhao Fugui has no time to care about his vegetable field now.
His baby granddaughter is back, so he has no time to take care of those dishes? Just crush them, but it’s nothing. He can just flip the ground again, otherwise... he will have nothing to do except catch bugs.
Many carriages came to the door of the Zhao family and carried countless boxes down one by one, which filled the Zhao family's yard.
Outside the Zhao family, the women who had thought that Zhao Liu was bragging before were stunned.
