37. The matchmaker is coming
I will lose my job and cannot break up with Yang Jiang, and Yang Jiang will target him...
Jiang Chengxiang looked at Jiang Zhen, as if he had been poisoned.
Although he did not have the talent and financial resources to take the exam, he always took pride in being a scholar. He felt that he would definitely change his destiny and never have to go to work in the fields. But now? He lost his errands and in the future...
"Cheng Xiang, pack up your things and go to the field with me." Butcher Jiang came out of the house with a bamboo basket on his back and carried a hoe, saying as he walked.
When Jiang Zhen left home, he stabbed his leg with a bamboo pole. Although that little injury would not have killed him, the injury and not sleeping for several days also made him sick. His energy has been not very good these days and he can't do anything in the field.
Originally, this was nothing. In the past, he had an old problem of back pain during busy farming, but the farm work at home was never delayed. After all, his boss was better than long-term workers.
They can't ask Changgong University to help them with their work at night, but they can let Boss Jiang do it.
But now, his boss has run away.
Jiang Chengcai, who is old and lacks energy, is fine if he works slowly. Jiang Chengcai, who is in his early twenties and has the most powerful person, actually works even slower than Jiang Chengcai!
Jiang Butcher Jiang wanted to scold him, but it would be fine if he didn't get in. He even hid in the house and refused to work!
In the past, Boss Jiang was too tired and got up late. Old Mrs. Jiang could say that he was lazy and that he was so bad, but if he was Jiang Chengcai... Jiang Chengcai cried and called him tired, so Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't bear to leave him to work in the fields.
Old Mrs. Jiang finally followed Jiang's butcher down the field. Not only that, when others came to ask her why Jiang Chengcai didn't come to work, she kept talking to Jiang Chengcai, repeatedly saying that Jiang Chengcai was not in good health and did not come to work.
If others believe it or not, it is certain that the Jiang family cannot plant the land after this.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang butcher asked Jiang Chengxiang to work when Jiang Chengxiang just came back.
Jiang Chengcai has always been lazy and slick, and he can't easily call him to work. Jiang butcher Jiang is used to it, but Jiang Chengxiang... In the eyes of Jiang butcher Jiang, this third son has always tried hard to be obedient and is definitely willing to help him share some of his responsibilities.
Jiang Chengxiang has always been in front of outsiders and has performed well in front of his parents, but he is never willing to work in his heart.
He would never want to be a person like Boss Jiang!
Therefore, after Jiang Chengxiang spoke, he did not respond, but stared at Jiang Zhen not far away.
Jiang butcher Jiang also saw Jiang Zhen, and his face immediately became gloomy.
"Jiang Butcher, you have given birth to two good sons, and you are unwilling to go to work in the fields," Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Butcher with a funny look. "You are still working hard now and can support them, so I don't know how they will live in the future."
This ancient times was not modern. There were machines, fertilizers and various pesticides. Nowadays, farmers had to turn over the ground and harvest them themselves. They had to find ways to find fertilizers in the ground. They had to pull out the weeds when there were too many, and they had to grab them if they had bugs...
The land here is fertile and the climate is good. The crops grow fast, but the weeds grow faster and there are too many insects. Don’t the villagers have to go around the field every day? Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao San... they are all unwilling to take off their shoes and go to the paddy fields!
Especially Jiang Laosan, who used to have lees crawled on his thighs, and he couldn't eat because of his disgust... He didn't think about who had worked hard to grow the food he usually ate and drank.
Jiang Butcher Jiang's face turned black.
"Just like these two sons... I think you are most likely in a miserable evening." Jiang Zhen said very sincerely. He was telling the truth, but obviously, others regarded him as a curse.
"You, a killer, are you talking nonsense! Only with you at home can I finish the well be miserable. Without you, I will naturally live a good life!" Old Mrs. Jiang also came out with a frame on her back. She happened to hear Jiang Zhen's words and couldn't help but curse.
She has been scolding Jiang Zhen for so many years and has become a habit. Although she has been dealt with by Jiang Zhen several times, she still can't learn to be good.
When Jiang Zhen came here before, he had already prepared a lot of wet mud from the side of the road, and threw it at her without hesitation.
He had a very accurate head. He originally wanted to disgust Jiang Chengxiang's mud, but he just muddled Old Mrs. Jiang's eyes.
"Jiang Butcher Jiang, I'm also for your own good. You should take good care of your two sons." Jiang Zhen warned Jiang Butcher Jiang earnestly again, and then left.
When Jiang Zhen went to wash his hands by the river, Wang Haisheng stood up for him: "That family is really hateful. He even came up and scolded you! You should beat them!"
"After all, it's hard to fight after giving birth to me." Jiang Zhen said.
Wang Haisheng thought about the previous situation and thought of Sun Xiaoshan's experience: "Is that old woman your stepmother?" He felt that Jiang Zhen was probably treated harshly by his stepmother.
"No, my dear mother." Jiang Zhen said: "But people think I beat him, so they want to kill me... She always felt that she had done great kindness to me before she gave birth to me in the toilet."
Wang Haisheng was shocked.
He had met many cruel people before, and many of them threw them into the river when they had no money to raise their children, but he had never understood such behavior, and now he became sympathetic to Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen is a good person, and he doesn't want to be treated like this by his parents...
Jiang Zhen actually sympathized with Boss Jiang, and at this moment, he could only hope that Boss Jiang can be a good birth in the future.
After returning to his residence, Jiang Zhen took out all the money he had on him.
Because he gave Wang Haisheng twenty taels, he could only use it as capital, which was only a dozen taels of silver, which was a bit too little... After thinking about it, Jiang Zhen specially loaded two hundred kilograms of millet, intending to go to the beach to exchange things with people tomorrow.
It was already evening after the busy work. Jiang Zhen cooked the rice, steamed a salted fish to fill his stomach, and then started waiting for the night to fall.
He will set off early tomorrow and will definitely not be able to sleep at Brother Zhao's place tonight, but he has to tell Brother Zhao about what he is going out.
He brought half of the fish into Brother Zhao's house, and Jiang Zhen kissed Brother Zhao's face: "Brother Jin, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Brother Zhao Jin asked.
"I'm going out." Jiang Zhen said, and then told me about the fact that he was going to get the goods. The beach is not far from here. I will leave tomorrow morning and be said to be able to arrive in the afternoon, but it will take a day or two to delay there. He plans to find a place to sell the goods after buying them. In this way, it will take four or five days.
"You should find something to do. It's good to sell seafood." Brother Zhao Jin nodded. He always felt that Jiang Zhen was not good at doing nothing every day. Now that Jiang Zhen is willing to find work, that would be better.
"I can't deliver food to you these days, so you can take some food from home and don't go hungry." Jiang Zhen kissed Brother Zhao Jin's face again.
"I have never eaten before, and it's not doing anything anymore." Brother Zhao Jin said.
"But I can't bear to leave you hungry." Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang Zhen is actually not a person who is very good at speaking love words, but Brother Zhao has never heard of love words, but Jiang Zhen’s reaction is particularly great no matter what he says.
At this moment, he was very happy.
Brother Zhao Jin hadn't been to too far away and knew nothing about selling seafood, but he knew that it would be very expensive outside... After thinking about it, he took out a small cloth bag from the head of his bed and gave it to Jiang Zhen: "I only have four taels of silver on my body, I'll give it to you."
Most of the money Zhao Jin Ge gave to his parents for his long-term worker, but Zhao Liu also left some for him to make some clothes and buy something for him, but he had never spent it before, so he saved it all, which was more than four taels in total.
The money is not much, or even quite small, but he is Zhao Jin Ge’s entire property.
Jiang Zhen held the money in his hand and didn't know what to say. Finally, he said, "Are you so stupid?"
Brother Zhao frowned and looked at Jiang Zhen, not understanding why Jiang Zhen said that, but Jiang Zhen kissed him again: "But I just like you."
Brother Zhao Jin's face turned red when he heard the word "like".
Jiang Zhen did not stay that day, and when he left, he brought the silver given by Brother Zhao Jin.
The next day, before Jiang Zhentian was dawn, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng set off. Before departure, Jiang Zhen locked his house and asked Sun Xiaoshan to take care of the chicken he raised.
After so many days, Sun Xiaoshan's illness has almost cured, but Jiang Zhen has never said a few words to him. Shuang'er is too introverted and timid. However, although he is a little introverted and timid, he is a good person. He just happened to be a little bit, so he directed his eldest son to turn over all the land near Jiang Zhen's house, help Jiang Zhen grow vegetables, and take the children to dig wild vegetables to give to Jiang Zhen.
Of course, all this was done when Jiang Zhen was not at home. When Jiang Zhen was at home, he basically hid in the house. When Jiang Zhen met him, he didn't speak.
Jiang Zhen was a little helpless, but he had no choice but to be so handsome that he could do it. He guessed that this pair would be like this, probably because he always lived on the boat and didn't communicate with people.
Jiang Zhen set out very early, and just dawned, he had already arrived at the place Yang Jiang mentioned.
At this time, people got up early, so when they arrived, there were already people there. Jiang Zhen went up to talk to people and looked at all the people.
In fact, Jiang Zhen did not fully trust Yang Jiang. He even prepared to set up a plan for him to harm him. However, the facts proved that he was thinking too much. Those who wanted to buy seafood with him could tell at a glance that they were ordinary people who had never seen blood before, and at most they were a little slick.
Nowadays, only slick people think about going to do business, and most people only know how to work.
After talking to these people for a while, Jiang Zhen found a lot of news from them. When he knew almost everything he wanted to know, he stopped talking and left Wang Haisheng to communicate with these people.
Those who plan to go to the beach to buy sea goods are not rich people, only worth ten or twenty taels of money. Even their ship is not as big as Wang Haisheng's ship. Wang Haisheng has no inferiority to them, but he quickly integrated into their conversation.
This time, a total of five boats set out together. After everyone was together, everyone headed towards the beach together.
Jiang Zhen had already learned rowing from Wang Haisheng, so he could help him a little at this time, so that Wang Haisheng would take a break, and his behavior made Wang Haisheng even more grateful.
"Have you been to the Mansion City?" Jiang Zhen asked suddenly after rowing the boat for a while, handing the oars to Wang Haisheng again.
"I've been there." Wang Haisheng nodded.
"What's going on over there?" Jiang Zhen asked again.
Wang Haisheng started talking slowly.
Jiang Zhenhui suddenly asked about the city, for a reason. Those sea goods merchants who went with them purchased goods were sold back to the county town when they bought goods. The price of everyone was the same. Everyone agreed that they could not reduce the price...
This is actually quite good, but it is also destined that Jiang Zhen, a newcomer, will find it difficult to make money, and may even be unable to sell it if there is a product.
If I could go to the city...
Jiang Zhen listened carefully to Wang Haisheng's statement, and at the same time, a matchmaker came to the Zhao family in Hexi Village.
There is no one in the countryside who is a matchmaker, but some people like to help others, and there are many marriages. Over time, if someone wants to propose marriage, they will go to her to make peace. If it is done, the newlyweds will invite her to have a wedding banquet when they get married, and give her a piece of pork weighing at least two pounds, which cannot be a bone-containing piece.
Of course, if the man's family has money, in addition to pork, he will generally give some money to matchmakers.
The one who came to Zhao's family this time was a woman who often matched people in Hexi Village, named He Chunxiang.
Zhao Liu had dealt with this matchmaker He before, hoping that she could tell Brother Zhao Jin about a good marriage, but Brother Zhao Jin was too poor and he never succeeded.
Later, Zhao Liu gave up and stopped looking for matchmaker He. Because of this, she hadn't seen matchmaker He for a long time.
