Chapter 85 The Qian Family is in a state of turmoil
It’s a wonder that a boy with no hair on his head is penniless and can survive outside! Besides, people in the nearby villages knew about Tian Feng's relationship with their family and would definitely not take him in. Tian was sure that Tian Feng was just too angry to come back and would not last long.
"It's better this way!" Qian entered the door and frowned, sighing, "I'd say you're just too anxious. We still have to point him at helping Awen pass the hospital examination. Now you've offended people to death. What if he doesn't? What if you want to help?”
"He dares!" Tian suddenly became excited, "If you push me too hard, I will take out that bitch's pocket and see how he survives!"
Qian walked in and shook his head, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Ms. Tian waited until there was no sign of Tian Feng in the morning, and then she started to get nervous. Before she could go out to find someone, Ms. Chen and Old Man Qian had already come over to inquire.
Mrs. Tian lowered her eyes and said, "Mom and dad, don't worry, I'm just about to go out. Don't worry, he has no relatives or friends here, and he has no money, so he won't be able to go far."
Ms. Chen and Old Man Qian finally looked better, urging Mr. Tian to move faster.
Tian went out with a gloomy look on his face. He first went to the entrance of the village to inquire about the situation, and followed the direction pointed by the villagers. He went up several hills near Qianjiazhuang and found that there was not even a single person there, let alone The grave is buried.
Tian didn't give up, and asked some nearby villagers about the situation, but found nothing. Only then did she realize that something was wrong, and hurried home with a pale face, "Master, do you think that stinky boy Tian Feng will have trouble following him?" Is his **** mother looking for death? There is no one around me."
Qian's heart sank when he entered the door, and he said anxiously: "Hurry up and ask my father and mother to help look for it. Your mother's family also said that fallen leaves return to their roots. Will he take his mother's body back to Tianjiacun?" "
"This can't be possible! How could that **** be buried there in Tianjiacun!" Tian denied this possibility from the bottom of her heart.
Qian entered the door with a gloomy look on his face, "We have to look for it no matter whether it is possible or not. Look for it along the road to Tianjiacun!"
Tian was anxious and angry, and secretly scolded Tian Feng so much that she had no choice but to explain the situation to her parents-in-law.
Mr. Chen and Old Man Qian gave Tian a hard look and scolded her with insinuations before calling the villagers for help.
Tian Feng had a good sleep in Yang Erdan's workshop and woke up feeling much better.
There was movement in the courtyard. He went out to take a look and saw Yang Erdan loading an ox cart. He quickly went over to help.
Yang Erdan glanced at him and said: "I'm going to Gaojiazhuang to deliver materials now, and I won't be back until tomorrow. My brothers and sisters will come to deliver food to you in a while. By the way, they can help me with the work and learn how to read with you, okay?" "
Tian Feng nodded, "I am just an idler now. I can help you with whatever you need."
Yang Erdan didn't dare to expect his help, so he just said a few words and drove the ox cart out.
Arrived outside the house, he shouted at the top of his lungs, and Jiang Ning immediately carried the sack on his back and went downhill, taking Yang Erdan's ride to the town.
Today is not a big market, and there are mostly business travelers passing by in the town. Jiang Ning sent the dried mushrooms to the Dashan Inn. After paying the bill, he asked if there were any business travelers coming from the capital. Shopkeeper Jin shook his head, "Ms. Jiang, do you want to inquire about something? "
Jiang Ning nodded, "I want to find out if there is any official named Huang in the capital." "Huh? Is there any other news? It's not easy to find out just one surname! If you can be more specific, I can help you ask. Ask." Shopkeeper Jin said enthusiastically.
Jiang Ning shook his head regretfully, "I don't know either, so I wanted to ask. If shopkeeper Jin encounters a business traveler coming from the capital, just ask for me. If not, forget it. I'm sorry to bother you!"
Shopkeeper Jin waved his hand and said, "No matter how important it is, don't worry, I will take care of it for you."
Jiang Ning bowed gratefully, turned around and left the Dashan Inn.
People in this era value their promises, and Shopkeeper Jin promised so readily. Jiang Ning believed that he would definitely help.
After leaving Dashan Inn, she immediately went to An Yongliang's house.
This time An Yongliang did not go out to walk around the streets, but made some knick-knacks in his yard. When Jiang Ning came in, he was amazed to see dragonflies, hummingbirds and butterflies on the bamboo shelves.
“An Guolang, did you do all this?”
An Yongliang smiled sheepishly, "It's embarrassing. The grandson of Zhao Yuan's wife in the town is celebrating his fifth birthday. The child has recently fallen in love with these little things. Zhao Yuanwai feels sorry for his grandson, so he ordered three hundred of them from me. I’m busy making these things and don’t have time to go out and sell goods. Do you want to buy materials again?”
Jiang Ning paused in his steps and glanced at him resentfully, "You've become a roundworm in my belly! You know everything I want!"
"It's true!" Now it was An Yongliang's turn to be shocked, "I heard my mother-in-law say that you just bought a bunch of winter cloth back home? Why do you need to buy materials again?"
Jiang Ning twitched his lips in embarrassment, "I just built a new house, and I have to buy everything. There are so many materials, and it won't be enough to make a few quilts! Why don't you hurry up and save some more this time? I’m not in a hurry, I’ll just buy something cheap if I don’t have it, I’d like to buy something else.”
“What?” An Yongliang felt that Jiang Ning wanted something special.
As soon as he asked, Jiang Ning couldn't wait to say: "I want pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but they are expensive. The cheaper the better!"
An Yongliang was stunned for a moment, then he immediately took Jiang Ning into the house after realizing it. "Not to mention, I did buy some goods here, but most people won't use them. They are only sold to scholars from poor families. Auntie can take a look."
Jiang Ning just came here to try her luck, but she didn't expect that the blind cat bumped into a dead mouse, and she actually bumped into it. She laughed like a sneaky cat and followed An Yongliang.
An Yongliang quickly took out the things and explained: "We don't have a bookstore in the town, but there is one in the county. It is small and shabby. It only sells those two books. Pens, inks, paper and inkstones are not good things, and they are extremely expensive. , I heard those scholars talk about it before in the county town, and I became interested in it. When I went to Fucheng to buy some goods, I bought some and sold them. The price is cheaper than in the bookstores in the county town. Now half of them are sold, ma'am. "
Jiang Ning is a layman and really doesn’t understand the quality of things. He asked with a blank look on his face: "Just tell me the price."
An Yongliang said with a smile: "A pen like this uses horse hair, which costs three hundred cents per pen, ox hair pen which costs two hundred and fifty cents, ordinary ink which costs five hundred cents, and pine ink which costs one or two silver. I don’t have high-quality rice paper here, only hemp paper. A roll of high-quality hemp paper is 200 liters, and ordinary roll is 100 liters. There are also some other ones, but those are difficult to write on, so I don’t recommend you buy them. I’ll just buy an inkstone. Enter one, one hundred and twenty cents."
Jiang Ning silently did some calculations and found that studying was really expensive. She was really reluctant to spend so much money on these things all at once!
