Another person brought in by Wang Biaoshi is his fellow bodyguard Jiang Biaoshi.Qing Lan finds Ji's house in Yangjiabu after going back and forth. At that time, Ji Xuan and his wife had already set off, and the two groups of people just happened to stagger.

When Uncle Qiu found out, he went to the Escort Bureau to invite someone.Escorts have their own communication channels, Escort Jiang led Qing Lan, followed the marks left by Escort Wang and the others all the way to find them, and hurried after them, until now they caught up.

After sleeping all morning, Qinglan is more energetic.He told about Pan Mingjie's whereabouts after they left Yunzhou Mansion.

Uncle Shao Yunchen and the others left half a year before he and Ji Xuanhe got married. When they arrived in Rongjin Town, Shanxi Province, several people in the group fell ill.If everything had been as usual, they should be staying in their hometown now.

Who would have thought that something went wrong in the middle, Qing Lan didn't know the specific situation, in short, the result was that the second master and the third master left, leaving only the old lady, the eldest master's family and the third lady, and stayed in Rongjin Town since then.

"I sent people to Baili Village, my uncle's hometown, but I didn't see the second uncle and the others, and there was no news about them. Did the uncle send any news to his hometown?" Shao Yunchen was a little puzzled.

"Master Biao, at the beginning it was because he had to take care of the patients. Rongjin Town was just a place to rest temporarily, so he didn't think about going back to his hometown to report the news. Later, something happened at home. After the uncle was completely settled, he asked someone to report to the Shao family. A message was delivered. The uncle learned that the message had been delivered, thinking that he would not go back to his hometown anyway, and there were no close relatives in his hometown, so he did not send any news to the old family members. When the uncle left Yunzhou Mansion, he did not notify the old family members in advance. Considering that you have already settled down in Rongjin Town, you don’t need to waste this effort.”

Qinglan paused, and then said again: "The old lady and the uncle have not heard from the young master Biao, and they are worried. They sent a letter the year before last. This time it is a serious letter. I thought I would receive a reply. Who would have thought The Shao Mansion only sent a message, saying that everything is fine for Young Master Biao. The uncle has nothing to do, the old and the young in the family need him to take care of them, so he didn't think much about it. There were disasters in various places last year, and many places were still alive. There was an epidemic, and the old lady was worried. She wanted to send someone to see the young master Biao when the epidemic was over, but the old lady was not in good health and had contracted the epidemic again. Although she was cured, she couldn't leave her. dragged until now."

Shao Yunchen listened quietly, with Ji Xuanhe by his side.With Qinglan's light words, Shao Yunchen could imagine the hardships of life in his uncle's family.Settled in Rongjin Town halfway, unfamiliar with the place of life, finally saw each other, and encountered a natural disaster, several grandmothers were also infected with the epidemic, and the savings accumulated over the years were almost spent.Even in such a situation, they didn't forget Shao Yunchen's grandson. Ji Xuanhe accompanied Shao Yunchen on this trip, and his hard work was finally not in vain.

It's already at this time, and it doesn't matter if it takes a day and a half, Ji Xuan and his party set off early the next morning.With a clear goal and no need to stop frequently to find someone, the itinerary is much faster than when you came.

Shanxi is next door to Shaanxi. After traveling for nearly ten days, everyone arrived at Rongjin Town at noon.When you get here, it's Qinglan's territory, he leads the way, and Ji Xuan and his husband follow behind.

Rongjin Town is not big, and it is not as prosperous as Kangping County. There are only a street in the center of the town with various shops, and there is only a small market, where there are street stalls.

Qinglan turned into a small alley, stopped in front of a door, and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Before anyone could reply, the door creaked open.

"Father, who do you think is here? It's the young master of the Shao family. Father, let me go, the old lady is always talking about the young master, I have to take them in quickly." After finishing speaking, he led Ji Xuan and his wife to the old lady's room. Go, I even forgot to explain Ji Xuanhe's identity.

With such a big commotion, the Pan family members who were at home had already been alarmed, and they all went out of the house to check.

Pan Mingjie's wife, Mrs. Tian, ​​supported the old lady. Shao Yunchen recognized it at a glance, and hurried forward to salute and say hello.

"You are Yunchen?" The old lady's eyes were not very good, and when she recognized her only grandson, she excitedly stepped forward and pulled Shao Yunchen, refusing to let go.

"Grandmother, this is my husband, Ji Xuanhe, Yunzhou Prefecture Jifu, the second grandson of Mrs. Ji Linwei Ji, the eldest son of the first eldest son of the eldest son." When the old lady calmed down, Shao Yunchen pulled Ji Xuan who was standing aside. And, introduce for both parties.

"Are you married, or married? Why didn't the Shao Mansion send someone to inform us?" The old lady had just calmed down, and immediately became emotional after hearing the news.

The eldest aunt Tian quickly helped the old lady to sit down in the main room, and Shao Yunchen pulled Ji Xuanhe to sit next to the old lady.

"Grandmother, I got married to Xuanhe half a year after you left, and I have been living in Yangjiabu Village, Kangping County since then. Don't worry, I am doing well. By the way, grandma, where is uncle?" Shao Yunchen said roughly After talking about his life in the past few years, he asked about Pan Mingjie's whereabouts.

"He is busy in the store, we are the only ones left in the room. By the way, Caizhi, come here, this is your cousin from the Shao family. Yunchen, this is your uncle's youngest daughter, Caizhi." The wife saw that although Shao Yunchen was very relaxed, he was energetic, and she let go of her heart that had just been suspended, "Your third aunt is in the house, go see her later."

Not long after the third aunt got married, Shao Yunchen's family fell into disrepair, and she was divorced by her husband's family while they were still newly married.Due to her embarrassing status, she usually does not come out to meet guests.

A few people didn't talk for a while, and the uncle returned home in a hurry.As soon as Qinglan brought her home, she went to the shop to inform Pan Mingjie.

"Mother, did you hear Qinglan say that Yunchen is here?" Pan Mingjie's voice reached everyone's ears before he stepped into the gate.

Shao Yunchen and Ji Xuanhe hurriedly got up to say hello.

Pan Mingjie looked back and forth between the two: "Yunchen, this is your husband Ji Xuanhe? He's still a little kid."

Shao Yunchen knew that his uncle was careless, otherwise the Pan family wouldn't have broken up so soon after his grandfather was gone.He didn't take what his uncle said to him.

"Yun Chen, have you had your lunch yet?" The old lady thought of it only now, after she was so pleased with herself.

"Not yet."

"Daughter-in-law, let Cuihua do it quickly, with more portions, hurry up, it's almost past noon, Yunchen and the others are probably hungry." The old lady looked at Mama Duan and the others, and added, " Cook a few more meals for them, daughter-in-law, you can help too, she can't do it alone."

After hearing this, Shao Yunchen hurriedly stopped: "Grandmother, first aunt doesn't have to cook, Mama Duan can cook, just ask her and Jimo Qiu Cheng to help."

The old lady nodded slightly after hearing this, but did not refuse her nephew's proposal.

Mother Duan and the others took orders to go.

Ji Xuanhe invited more than a dozen bodyguards and the nursing home given by his second uncle. He arranged for them to stay in the inn in the town, and escorted them back to Kangping County when they set off.

Not long after Duan's mother entered the kitchen, Qinglan's father, Cheng Yan, came in with vegetables and meat.When distinguished guests come, it is necessary to entertain them well. The Pan family has not been so lively for a long time, and spending money is also comfortable.

Without making Shao Yunchen and the others wait any longer, the simple shredded pork noodle soup was served.

Seeing the two of them eating happily, the old lady smiled all the way to her eyes.

Fortunately, the only grandson left by the eldest daughter is doing well.Thinking about her big family again, the old lady couldn't help sighing: What an unfortunate family!She gave birth to two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter was gone, the younger daughter was divorced, and the third son left her to go to his wife's family.As for the second daughter and second son, they are not her own, so she can't control them either.

Thinking of her little daughter, the old lady shed tears of bitterness, it was really bad luck.Among the three daughters, the second daughter from a concubine was the best, and I don't know what evil she suffered.

Fortunately, life is not too desperate, and the eldest daughter left her a grandson, which gave her something to think about.The old lady watched Shao Yunchen eat, and she was genuinely happy. From his every move, it could be seen that he was well-bred.Married before the age of ten, and still able to have such self-cultivation, it seems that his husband's family treats him well, so she can rest assured.

After the meal, Ji Xuanhe took Mama Duan and the others out for a walk, leaving Shao Yunchen and the others around the table to chat.

"Grandmother, Rongjin Town is not a place to stay for a long time. Come with me to Kangping County. I have my own shop there, and I will find you a small house to live in. Whether it is good for uncle to do business or buy a Zhuangzi, it is better than staying in Rongjin Jinzhen is more developed." Shao Yunchen made plans early in the morning, and after meeting his grandmother, he became more determined.

"This is not good! Can Ji Xiaozi agree?" Pan Mingjie was the first to question, his nephew had his own little life to live, and he couldn't add burden to him.

"Uncle, don't worry, Xuanhe won't be so stingy. Besides, I use my own dowry, he won't mind."

"Yunchen, you can't mess around. Unless you leave Ji's family, the dowry will eventually belong to your husband and wife's descendants. It's a good thing for a woman to say that if she has no descendants, her natal family can ask for the dowry back after she passes away. Are you Married men, unless the adoptive heirs are dead, the dowry must be left to them. In your case, although the dowry is at your disposal, it is best to tell Xuanhe when you use it." The old lady heard Shao Yunchen dispose of the dowry So free-wheeling, she had to remind her.

"As for your proposal, I have to think about it carefully. Staying in Rongjin Town is really not good for the future. Hongli and Caizhi are both grown up, so it's hard to find someone to marry here." The old lady had to do it for herself Considering her grandchildren, she doesn't want to drag her grandchildren down on her own words.It sounds like the grandson seems to have the ability to settle them down, so that's fine. After they settle down, the boss will have hands and feet, and it won't be a big problem to make money to support the whole family.

This is a big matter, the old lady has an idea in her heart, but she can't act arbitrarily, she called her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and went back to the house to discuss.

Qinglan took Shao Yunchen to Pan's shop, where Pan Hongli was there, and his cousins ​​gathered together, they were about the same age, so there should be something to talk about.Men and women have different seats at the age of seven, it's not good for an older girl to entertain Shao Yunchen alone, Qing Lan's doing this is the most appropriate way.

Rongjin Town is much smaller than Kangping County, Pan's house is not far from their shop, and Qinglan and Shao Yunchen are just a few steps away.

Pan Hongli was busy in the shop, the two hadn't seen each other for five or six years, and only after Qinglan's introduction did they match up with the person in his memory.

This is a food shop that sells breakfast in the morning and all kinds of pasta after noon, earning hard money.The shop is not big, and there is only a kitchen and a warehouse in the backyard.

Since the Pan family's money is not very handy, the shop is staffed by their own servants.Pan Mingjie and his son acted as the shopkeeper and tent, and occasionally had to cook. Tian and Pan Caizhi helped at home, and sometimes they were too busy, so they had to do it themselves as the master's uncle.

It was almost noon, and it was not too late at this time. There were a few diners sitting in the shop in twos and threes.

Cuihua and Cheng Yan are usually in charge of the kitchen, and they take turns.Cuihua's culinary skills are even more exquisite, she was busy in the back kitchen, the old lady was happy seeing her grandson, so she called her back to cook lunch for Shao Yunchen and the others.

Most of the food in the shop can be prepared at home, and then delivered to the shop for sale.The same is true for pasta. The toppings are prepared early in the morning. All you need is noodles. Everyone in the Pan family knows how to do such a simple task.It's just that sometimes diners order some side dishes, and there must be a cook in the shop.

The Pan family has six masters and seven servants. Compared with the original, it is really shabby enough.Before they left Yunzhou Mansion, they dismissed most of the servants, and then there was an accident in Rongjin Town, and there were only a few people left.That's fine, it saves a lot of trouble.

Pan Hongli let Shao Yunchen into the counter. The shop is small and there is no place to stay. It just so happens that he is responsible for collecting money and changing money. It is not too neglectful to entertain his cousin at the counter.

After making hot tea, Qinglan began to make snacks.Shao Yunchen and Pan Hongli chatted one after another, mainly describing their experiences over the years.From time to time, Pan Hongli had to pay customers. At this time, Shao Yunchen watched quietly from the sidelines.He also has a shop himself, but he has never done it himself like Pan Hongli. This feeling is quite novel.

Rongjin Town is really not big, it didn't take much time for Ji Xuanhe to walk from the street to the end of the street.This place is far away from the capital city, and it takes a long time for new gadgets to reach here, and many of the items sold in the shops are already outdated.Ji Xuanhe was not interested in these, but the gadgets on the open-air stalls were still somewhat attractive to him.

The stalls here were closed early, and the small merchants packed up their stalls and went home in the middle of the afternoon, but the shop was still open.

After wandering around Rongjin Town, Ji Xuanhe reckoned that Yunchen and the others should have said the same thing, so he took Mama Duan and the others back to Pan's house.

As soon as Ji Xuanhe entered the gate, he saw Shao Yunchen and the old lady chatting happily. It seemed that the matter had been discussed.

"Xuanhe, there are not enough rooms at home. Mama Duan sleeps outside us, Shen Qing, you four share one room." Shao Yunchen sat in the shop, and then went back to his uncle's house, one step ahead of Ji Xuanhe.

Ji Xuanhe had no objection, he didn't think of this matter for a moment, according to his idea, let Shen Qing and the others stay in the inn, but since Shao Yunchen made such an arrangement, he didn't mention it again.

In the evening, Ji Xuanhe leaned on the kang, listening to Shao Yunchen's narration.

The old lady and the eldest aunt went with them first, while the uncle stayed behind and waited for the Pan family's house and shop in Rongjin Town to be disposed of before leaving.

Now that the decision was made, the old lady started to prepare her luggage the next day.This time, there is a bodyguard accompanying him, so the safety is guaranteed, and all the family can be taken away, so as to reduce the burden on the uncle as much as possible.

Ji's family only has two carriages, and the uncle's carriage is reserved for the uncle's use. The old lady and her party paid a lot of salutes. Counting the people, they rented several carriages to accommodate everyone and their belongings.

There is no large-scale car and horse dealer in Rongjin Town, so it cannot go directly to Kangping County, and you have to transfer to the next big city.

It is now June, and the temperature is getting higher and higher, which is suitable for traveling.

Shanxi is relatively short of water, and Rongjin Town has people who sell water for a living.

It was the first time for Ji Xuan and his husband to travel, so naturally they couldn't take this into account.He is still an experienced escort who has been walking outside all year round, and he has already prepared water bags and the like.Ji Xuan and his wife's journey to find people is not so much a long journey, but actually not much different from a tour of mountains and rivers.

There was an old lady on the return trip, and the itinerary was slower.The old man's health is not very good, everything should be soothing, so as not to tire people out of trouble.

After tidying up for several days, I finally finished the salute.When they returned to their hometown, the old lady would sell or give away the bulky furniture that they could not take away. What they use now is repurchased after they arrived in Rongjin Town.This time I went to go to my grandson, I don't need these things, and let the eldest son deal with them at that time.

On the day of departure, just after dawn, the lights of Pan's house were brightly lit. Those who went out of the stall went out of the stall, and those who saw them off. It took a long time to make a fuss before returning to calm.Watching the convoy moving forward slowly, Pan Mingjie suddenly felt that it was so lonely to let him stay in Rongjin Town alone. He wished he could be in the convoy right now.

This is just thinking about it, he still has things to do, how can he let it go?Most of the Pan family's money was invested in the shop and the house, and he would definitely not want to sell it at a low price, so he left all the people who ran the shop, and only let Pan Hongli accompany the old lady.

The shop and the house are already in the middleman's booklet, and he just has to wait for the buyer to see it.On weekdays, the shop is still open until the shop is sold out.Rongjin Town is a small town, it is not so easy to find a good buyer, maybe he will have to stay here for a month or so.

When to set off every day and how many roads to walk are calculated in advance. As long as you do this, you will not miss the time for accommodation.The goal on the first day is to rush to the nearest big city, where the old lady and the others are going to change the carriage.It took a long time to move things up and down, and when everything was done, the willows were on the moon, so that we didn't start until half the morning of the next day.

The itinerary itself is relatively flexible. If you set off at this time, the carriage will drive a little faster, and you can still arrive at the next lodging point before the city gate closes.

Traveling in ancient times was a physical effort. Those who were in poor health and had no money should stay at home honestly.With a body like the old lady's, it's lucky to have a carriage to sit in and eat, otherwise I don't know what tossing it will be.This is still in the case that the shockproof performance of the carriage is good, and the official road is maintained fairly flat. Otherwise, it is not impossible to get sick in the carriage.

The sky was dry, the horses galloped past, and it was dusty.In such a situation, Ji Xuanhe lost all interest in enjoying the scenery.It's a long day without doing something.Ji Xuanhe took out Go, and fought with Shao Yunchen on the Nineteenth Road.

The chessboard and chess pieces were all specially made, and the jolting of the carriage did not affect the elegance of the two of them playing chess at all.

In addition to Go, Shao Yunchen also prepared other recreational items that are convenient for passing the time in the carriage, especially all kinds of chess.Ji Xuanhe looked at the poker cards in his hand with an inexplicable expression.The time-traveling seniors have really excavated everything that can be excavated, and the rest are mostly technically difficult. If you don't have professional knowledge, you don't know how many years and how much money you have to spend to research these things.

"A pair of aces, I won." Pan Hongli won a rare one, but he was overjoyed.I don’t know how my cousin and husband’s brains grow, playing cards is like playing Go, and they can figure out what cards are in whichever house.After a few hands, he lost a lot. If he didn't hold this hand well, he wouldn't be able to win even if he wanted to.

Ji Xuanhe shrugged and threw the remaining cards back on the table.He doesn't count cards very much, it's too brain-intensive, it's just that he played a lot in the past, and he always remembers some of them, so it's not like Pan Hongli lost so badly.Pan Hongli managed to win once, and he almost jumped three feet high. Ji Xuanhe was speechless watching it.

For Shao Yunchen, memorizing cards is the same as memorizing chess records, it's just tiring at the beginning, and it doesn't take so much brainpower after getting used to it.This is a habit he has developed from playing chess. As soon as he touches a card, his brain will automatically work.

"Old lady, don't you think that giving Hongli to Lede means winning a hand of cards?" Tian and the others were also bored, and they were playing leaf cards with four of them in a car.

"He is the oldest, but loses the most, and he finally wins, so he is happy." The old lady was happy. The grandson has been delayed in the past few years. As long as the family is healthy, it is better than anything else.

"Mother, eldest sister is just such a child, what do you think of Xuanhe?" Pan Shulin, the third daughter of the old lady, rarely spoke. She was not originally such a dull temper, but after being divorced and returned to her mother's house, her temper changed a lot.Fortunately, the old lady is still there, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't dislike her, otherwise she doesn't know if there is any future.

The world is like this, and it is impossible for manpower to resist.It is already a good fortune to be able to rely on her mother's family to live like Pan Shulin.Many of the divorced wives are the remnants of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.You say remarry?What kind of good family can you marry?Even though her family was in trouble, Pan Shulin never suffered.After being a young lady for half her life, let her marry ordinary people. It is estimated that the hard life will soon wear her down to death.

With similar family backgrounds, very few people are willing to marry a divorced wife, and others don't care why she was divorced.Pan Shulin has been delayed year after year like this, and now she is in her twenties.She had given up on this thought earlier, and was able to do some embroidery work at home, so that she could make up for her elder brother and sister-in-law.

When she got married, her father was still there. Although life was not as good as before, she hadn't lost too much, at least she couldn't see it on the surface.Later, my father passed away, and the family suddenly lost its support.The eldest brother was concentrating on his studies, and suddenly took over the general affairs indirectly, and was fooled by outsiders and shopkeepers. These shops not only failed to make money, but lost a lot.In order to pay off her brother's debts, most of the dowries of her and her eldest sister were filled in.

Now Pan Shulin only has dozens of private houses on hand.The money had to be kept close by and could not be moved easily.When her father was still an official, she lived a comfortable life. She enjoyed the benefits from her father, so she naturally had to accept the result of being divorced.There is nothing to complain about, she is not at all uncommon for such a powerful husband's family.

Pan Shulin is also living a good life now, she has no self-pity, except that she is not easy to meet guests, and there is not much difference from when she was a girl at home.

"It looks good. Look, there are more than a dozen bodyguards outside, as well as servants of the guard, there are more than [-] people in total, and they can get a lot of money for a trip. How can the husband's family be willing to do this for their own gentleman? You see, Xuanhe has the courage to go there in person at a young age. For this alone, I will accept his kindness." The old lady rubbed card, and said, "Who would have thought that we are down and out now, and it is the child Yunchen who puts us in the heart in the end. I am ashamed to say that I did not teach the third child well, otherwise how could he be lost?" Let me, an old mother, go to the Yue family by myself?"

"Mother, don't think about the third brother. Everyone has their own blessings. I hope he can take care of himself." Pan Shulin sees this very clearly. The same rice supports all kinds of people, and the choice of which path has to bear the consequences. as a result of.Just like my sister-in-law, her natal family wanted her to reconcile with her elder brother, but the sister-in-law didn't agree, and almost cut off contact with her natal family, and she didn't even think about the support from her natal family.

But looking at it now, apart from not being able to eat delicacies from mountains and seas, the sister-in-law is living a comfortable life.There is no trouble of concubines and housekeeping, and there is no need for husband and wife to live in separate rooms. Although she is not as untouchable as a lady, her sister-in-law does not look old at all.

The carriage traveled with the distance, and the soft whispers drifted away with the wind.

The journey was uneventful, and Ji Xuan and his party arrived in Kangping County in early July.After paying the bill with the bodyguard, the two groups separated and headed for different destinations.

Everyone was tired, and after a good night's sleep, they became lively again.

The old lady's family was arranged to live in the third courtyard of the Ji residence, while Ji Xuan and his wife lived in the second courtyard.

After resting, Ji Xuanhe sent away the nursing home given by his second uncle, and brought the special products from various places bought along the way to his second uncle, and then started to take care of his own things.Shao Yunchen accompanied his aunt and cousin to look at the house, while Ji Xuanhe went to see the dried seafood shop bought by Uncle Qiu.

Since the fish market is in the West Market, Ji's seafood dry goods store is also nearby.

The best business in Kangping County is all kinds of seafood, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and there are many foreign merchants who come to Kangping County to buy seafood.It is now July, under the scorching sun, fresh seafood can only be transported by ice, and the inland people will have to pay a lot of money to eat fresh goods.

Before Ji Xuanhe stepped into the store, a strong salty smell came to his nostrils.This is just dried seafood, so you can imagine how bad the smell in the fish market is.

Su Yuan, who was originally the second shopkeeper of Ji's grocery store, has now been promoted to the top shopkeeper, rushed out to greet him.The shop was bought two months ago, and the source of the goods came from Jijia Dry Seafood Workshop.Over the past two months, Uncle Qiu and shopkeeper Su have developed several regular customers, and these customers will come to pick up the goods every once in a while.

Of course, the quantity of these customers is not very large, and Ji's family is currently unable to receive large customers, and cheap goods are not easy to find. If you buy fresh goods in the West Market, the profit will be small.

Ji Xuanhe didn't care much about this, seeing that the shop was operating normally, he didn't stay long, the taste was really unacceptable, it was hard for the shopkeeper and the others to stay in the shop for a long time.
