Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

It is the tenth month in the lunar calendar, winter has arrived, and the weather is getting colder day by day.

No matter how many layers of clothing you wear, they are not enough to keep you warm. Passersby have already put on cotton-padded jackets.

The same is true for Lieutenant General Jing Yuan.

We drove the mule cart into the city. It was still early, so we went to Xizhimen to find breakfast.

The soup dumplings with salty tofu pudding have a unique flavor.

Then, he leisurely came to the back door of the Duke of England's mansion.

"Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Ershan almost didn't recognize the person.

"Huh? Are you, Brother Jing?

Oh my god, how come you are so thin? Your hair is getting a lot grayer?

You are really in trouble!"

"Yes, yes, yes. It was a great crime indeed."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan nodded vigorously in agreement!

Jiang Ershan changed the subject, with a hint of testing in his tone.

“However, business is a very lucrative profession, and it is reasonable to work hard!

If you don't have any connections, you can't work hard no matter how hard you try!

Brother Jing, you should have made a lot of money on this trip, right?

At least it should be enough to buy a small house in West City, right? "

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately shook his head in fear to deny it.

"No no!

If you could really make that much money, wouldn't everyone rush into business?"

Jiang Ershan seemed convinced.

"Too!

If I can't make money from the house, at least I can make a hundred or eighty taels of silver, right?"

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan did not directly answer Jiang Ershan's question. He turned around and stroked the mule's belly proudly.

"hey-hey……

Brother Jiang, what do you think of my mule?

I bought it with my wages in advance! It cost a full ten taels of silver!

I also brought back some goodies for Chuxia and Xiaoman!"

"Hey, what good stuff is worth you bringing back from Northeast China?"

Jiang Ershan took two steps forward curiously and approached the big bamboo basket.

"hey-hey……

I bought two pairs of deerskin and two pairs of sheepskin coats for the two children to wear when they were on duty in the winter to prevent them from catching cold.

I also bought some rabbit fur!

Hey, Brother Jiang, these two rabbit skins are specially brought to you.

I'll make knee pads later, as the weather gets colder, to prevent knee pain on snowy days."

"Hey, there's my gift!

Thank you for still thinking of me, brother."

Jiang Ershan stroked the snow-white rabbit skin and grinned with joy, showing his missing front tooth.

I roughly estimated the price of these things in my mind, and naturally I realized that Jing Yuan was a simple and honest person.

When I went to Northeast China, I was only thinking about bringing good things for my two children, and I didn't even think about being smart and reselling some things.

Not only did he not make much money, but he also spent dozens of taels of silver on renting the yard. He deserves to be poor!

The little people are just little people, and their knowledge is just as insignificant as a sesame seed.

When I thought of this, the smile on my face became more sincere.

Then, he ordered a little maid and went to find Jing Chuxia and Jing Xiaoman.

Then the two of them started chatting casually.

The sun was high in the sky and soon it was noon.

During lunch time, the two children came to the back door.

"father!"

When Jing Chuxia suddenly saw her father's appearance, tears immediately flowed down her face.

Jing Xiaoman also looked at his father with red eyes.

"Why are you crying? Dad is fine!

Xia Xia, Xiao Man, look, what good things did Daddy bring you?"

Jing Chuxia shook his head like a rattle and didn't answer it.

"Dad, I don't want them. The mansion just distributed winter clothes, so I don't need them.

Take the things to the store and sell them, then exchange them for some fine food!"

"Whatever you want to exchange, don't worry, Dad has food to eat.

Take it quickly. Your father came all the way from Sucheng to bring it back for you two.

It's cold in winter, and wearing it when on duty can keep you much warmer.

Take it quickly, if you don’t take it, Dad will be really sad…”

After much persuasion, the two children finally accepted the boots and jackets with an inexplicably touched look on their faces.

After the matter was done, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan quickly waved his hand to send the people away.

Really, crying is so annoying.

"Well, go back to work! Don't let your master down."

Seeing his father leading the mule and about to leave, Jing Chuxia quickly said:

"Dad, a group of little girls came into the mansion a month ago and they will be trained soon.

Madam is kind, I will be able to go home on the first day of next month."

"That's great!

Okay, then I will definitely come to pick you up early in the morning.

Go back quickly, lest you miss the mission!"

After his adopted children came in, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan said hello to Jiang Ershan and drove the mule cart to have lunch.

damned!

My adopted daughter is about to go home, and the days of freedom are gone forever.

We must take advantage of this time to stock up on some things!
