Chapter 119： Wei family

It was a market day, and Jiang Quan and Dani Erni took Yingbao to the market to sell apricots.

A large basket of yellow apricots, all ripe and plump, makes your mouth water just by looking at them.

Jiang Quan found a place with the most traffic, put down his backpack, and started shouting: "I'm selling apricots. Big, sweet yellow apricots. They cost ten cents a pound."

Today he brought the basket from home, which was just right for weighing the apricots, and also picked a large pile of lotus leaves for wrapping the apricots.

Soon someone came and asked, "Are apricots sour?"

“There are no apricots that are not sour, but my ones are less sour and 80% sweet.” Jiang Quan explained to others.

“Let me try it.” An old lady reached out and picked one up and took a bite.

Jiang Quan did not stop the quick-eyed old lady, but stared at her with some displeasure, as if he would not let her leave unless she bought it.

Fortunately, the aunt tasted one and bought two kilograms, but when she gave the money, she gave one penny less and left with only nineteen pence.

By the time Jiang Quan counted the money, the lady had disappeared.

Jiang Quan shook his head and started shouting again.

At this moment, several people from the East Village came. When they saw the little fairy boy from their village sitting here selling apricots, they hurried over to show off. Each of them bought two kilograms of apricots. Not only did they praise loudly, "These apricots are so delicious, I have grown It’s the first time I’ve eaten such delicious apricots. Hey, don’t look at it and buy it quickly. It’ll be gone if it’s too late.”

When they called me like this, people gathered around me to buy apricots.

Jiang Quan was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth anymore. He quickly wrapped apricots in lotus leaves for the guests and put them on the scale.

The people going to the market were a little curious when they saw a large circle of people gathered here, so they all leaned forward and squeezed in to check.

As a result, there were more and more people, and the place was completely surrounded for a while.

“Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get out of the way, all of you!”

Some people shouted loudly to drive away the crowd.

I saw a six or seven-year-old boy being squeezed in while being protected.

The boy was dressed in brocade silk, with an exquisite jade plaque hanging around his neck. He looked like he was a member of a big family.

In this kind of rural place, not many people can wear jade ornaments sincerely, but the quality of the jade plaque around the boy's neck is gentle and transparent, and it is worth a lot at a glance.

The boy came to Yingbao and looked at her, "What are you doing?"

“Selling apricots.” Yingbao heard that his accent was not from the local area, but sounded like someone from Fucheng, so she couldn't help but look at him more curiously.

“Apricot?” The boy stretched his neck and looked into the basket on his back, “Does it taste good?”

“It’s delicious.” Yingbao replied.

The boy turned to the attendant beside him and said, "I want to buy apricots."

The attendant quickly shook his head: "No, young man, this thing hurts the spleen and stomach, so you can't eat it."

The boy got angry and kicked the attendant hard, "I want to buy it!"

The servant had no choice but to take out copper coins from his body and buy a pound.

The boy also imitated the behavior of others around him, wiped an apricot on his sleeve and took a bite.

Unexpectedly, after taking one sip, my face suddenly turned sour.

 He glanced at Ying Bao secretly and saw that she was looking over, so he quickly ate up the apricots in three or two bites.

After eating, it seemed that he was still unsatisfied and wanted to get another one. The attendant quickly put a bag of apricots into his arms and protected him as he walked out: "Young Master, let's eat after we go back. There are too many people here."

The boy didn't want to leave. He kept turning his head to look at Ying Bao, and finally pointed at her and said, "Take her away too."

The attendant said in a low voice with a mournful face: "Young Master, that is the child of a good family, we cannot take him away."

“Then buy her.” The boy said arrogantly.

"Oh, young man, I don't sell people." The attendant coaxed the boy to a carriage, "Hurry up and get in the carriage, the eldest son is already waiting for you."

“I don’t want to get in the car!” The boy got angry and kicked the attendant hard. “I still want to buy apricots!”

“Okay, okay, you get in the car first, and I’ll go buy it now.”

As long as this little ancestor doesn't mention buying someone else's doll, let alone apricots, he will have to buy a donkey.

The attendant carried the boy into the carriage, and quickly squeezed into the crowd to buy another pound of apricots. He looked at the female doll again, and was amazed in his heart.

No wonder the little master wanted to buy her, this female doll is so beautiful. In the carriage, the young man sitting upright looked worried and scolded him coldly: "Wei Zhan, why were you running around just now?"

Wei Zhan was not afraid of his concubine cousin at all, and said plausibly: "I'm curious when I see a circle of people over there."

Wei Wenbai said angrily: "Curious? You jumped out of the carriage just because you were curious? If I had known you were so naughty and disobedient, I shouldn't have taken you out."

Wei Zhan curled his lips and hummed softly. When the attendant came back, he immediately ordered: "Give me the apricots!"

The attendant secretly glanced at the eldest son, took out a pack of yellow apricots wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms, and whispered: "Eating too many apricots will hurt people, but the young man should eat less..."

Wei Zhan took the lotus leaf bag, glared at the attendant, took out one and took a bite.

Wei Wenbai's teeth hurt when he saw it, and he couldn't help but pick one up, "Isn't it sour?"

“Not sour, delicious.” Wei Zhan said expressionlessly.

The attendant came over and asked: "Eldest Master, do we still want to go with the Chen family and his son?"

“No need, let’s find an inn to stay in first,” Wei Wenbai said.

"But the inn in this town is too bad. Otherwise, we should go with the Chen family and his son." The steward said carefully: "At any rate, his family is considered a wealthy family in the local area, and the residence should be clean." ’

“That’s okay, but you go and make it clear to the Chen family and his son that we are here for a trip and we will discuss other matters later.”

"yes."

The steward ran to the mule cart in front and said to Chen Laoshuan, who looked haggard: "Our eldest son has agreed to go to your house. You can lead the way."

“Okay.” Chen Laoshuan was pleasantly surprised and quickly got on the shaft of the carriage and drove off with his whip.

In the mule cart shed, Chen Changping collapsed from fatigue and leaned on the cart, not wanting to move.

He and his biological father have had a long and dusty life, and the young master of the Wei family is particularly difficult to deal with. He does this and that sometimes, which can easily kill half of his life.

As soon as he reached the door of his house, the young master suddenly started to make a fuss again and insisted on strolling in the market.

Chen Changping felt tired and just wanted to go home and lie in bed for a few days and nights before talking about anything else.

…

At the market, Jiang Quan quickly sold out a basket of yellow apricots.

Someone also asked: "Will you come back to the next episode?"

Jiang Quan nodded with a smile: "Come back."

There are still a lot of apricots on the apricot trees, but most of them are half green and half yellow. They will probably be ready to pick if they grow for a few days.

Jiang Quan carried his little cousin on his back with an empty basket, and walked with his two younger sisters, Dani and Erni.

He also wanted to buy a puppy to keep, but unfortunately he couldn't find one while shopping around.

In the end, we spent more than 20 pence, and each of the four brothers and sister ate a bowl of boiled vegetable dumplings before returning home.

When passing by Xichen Village, I saw several carriages and several tall horses parked in front of Chen Laoshuan's house.

Many villagers were watching from a distance and talking about it.

 Ying Bao sullenly urged her second cousin, who wanted to watch the fun, to go home quickly.

The carriage tarpaulin is embroidered with the clan emblem, which is the logo of the Wei family in Fucheng.

It seems that Chen Changping really moved from the Wei family in Fucheng to rescue troops.

I just don’t know how they want to exonerate Han.

No, I have to go to the county seat as soon as possible to give Wu Daozi some breathing space.

Since the Wei family wants to overturn Han's case, they must have enough evidence.

Or they don’t need evidence at all and just use their power to force the county magistrate to retry the case.

Is it easy for people like Wu Daozi to compromise? Certainly not.

If Wu Daozi disagrees with the retrial, it will be tantamount to offending the Wei family.

He is a small seventh-grade county magistrate. He has only been in office for less than a year and has no political achievements. It is easy for him to be defeated.
