Chapter 120 Bamboo Shoot Business

Xie Yucheng also spotted Jiang Ning immediately and hurried forward, "Ms. Jiang, what a coincidence!"

Jiang Ning saluted and replied softly: "Just after the spring plowing, the women came to give some things to their children."

Xie Yucheng was stunned and a little surprised, "Your child is in this school?"

There are two schools relatively close to Rongshu Village. He never expected that Jiang Ning would send his children so far away.

“People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Lin Xiucai and He Xiucai are famous. Since women want to provide education for their children, they naturally want to choose the best husband for them as much as possible.”

These words made Xie Yucheng look at Jiang Ning sideways again. He nodded slightly and led Dong Ze and others into the school gate.

The students who passed by saw that Jiang Ning knew the county magistrate and immediately asked the concierge. After a while, everyone in the school knew that the Yang Changsong brothers had an unusual family background. Those who usually succumbed to Yang Santie's "powerful power" had to bow their heads. After knowing this, his classmates were all willing to accept him as their boss.

At this time, Xie Yucheng was sitting in the school building, looking at the old man in front of him uneasily, "Sir, this is what happened. Please show me a clear path!"

Ming Boxheng looked at the tea smoke rising on the table calmly, and said thoughtfully: "Have you investigated this matter clearly?"

Xie Yucheng shook his head with a grimace, "The lower official asked people to investigate secretly, and only found out that the county captain Xu Dongming was the mastermind behind the county examination and the government examination. However, the government examination was presided over by the prefect. How could he, a small county captain, get the examination papers?" Exam questions? I just don’t know who is involved in the prefect’s yamen. The subordinates are afraid of stirring up trouble and dare not investigate further. Seeing that the prefectural examination is coming, and then the county examination of Ping’an County.

If the other party is allowed to continue to act recklessly, the official's official career will soon come to an end! "

Ming Boxheng still looked like an old **** after hearing this, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Why panic! Since you don't know how deep the water is, don't go into the muddy water first. The most important thing is to be wise and protect yourself."

Xie Yucheng was stunned, "Sir?"

Ming Boxheng raised his lips sarcastically, "They must have been doing this kind of thing for more than a year or two. It's just crazy for you, a petty official like you, to expose this matter. If I were still in the court, I could help. You give me a hand, but now that I have become an official, I am settled in a corner, and even if I have the intention, I can’t do it. What you have to do now is to deal with this county examination first, and let’s talk about next year.”

Xie Yucheng's frowned brows still didn't relax at all. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, if the subordinate informs Academician Zhong about this matter, do you think he can take care of it?"

Ming Boxheng breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes dark, "If I guessed correctly, he will preside over the college examination in August this year, but he can only be in charge of the college examination, and the county examination and government examination cannot get involved, and he is really against the prefect. There’s no advantage. I think you can give him a heads up, but don’t let him get involved in this matter.”

Xie Yucheng looked unwilling and helpless.

Jiang Ning, who had already left Mapo, had no idea how many important people she said kept her awake at night. Before the mother and daughter returned to Rongshu Village, they made a special trip to Linjiang Inn.

When the flower shopkeeper saw her, it was like seeing the God of Wealth. He ordered several hundred kilograms of spring bamboo shoots from her as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows in amusement, "Shopkeeper Hua, you should also have these spring bamboo shoots here."

Shopkeeper Hua shook his head vigorously, "I thought so too, but I asked the waiter to go for a walk in the bamboo forest. Take a look at what he dug up for me!"

The flower shopkeeper was furious, and the waiter brought out a basket of slender wild bamboo shoots in frustration.

Jiang Ning’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Where did you get all this?”

The waiter quickly pointed in the direction, "We only have this kind of bamboo shoots here, not the ones Mrs. Jiang digs."

Jiang Ning laughed dumbly, "In that case, I'll deliver it. Pan Xiuniang, the boat **** the Wei River, happened to be delivering goods to my house. From now on, I asked her to deliver a batch of spring bamboo shoots here every few days. This thing is weighed, and I want it. Not much, one penny per pound, okay?”

"Okay, okay! As long as Mrs. Jiang guarantees that it will be the same as the bamboo shoots delivered today." Shopkeeper Hua said cheerfully. After Jiang Ning returned to Rongshu Village, he immediately sent the materials Zhang requested to the workshop.

The women in the village immediately teased Mr. Zhang when they saw the red material.

With a smile on her face, Ms. Zhang said cheerfully: "When my Xiao is married, I will treat the people in the workshop to rice cakes!"

"Yo! I remember what you said! I won't agree if there are no rice cakes then!" a woman joked.

Zhang made another promise, asked Jiang Ning for the price, and went back to get the money with the red cloth in hand.

Jiang Ning took advantage of the situation and looked at the Fang brothers who were concentrating on their work, and asked Li in a low voice: "Mom, how are they doing during this time?"

"Okay! You just took Xiaoya on a long trip that day. The village chief and your father sent people back to pull out the adobes. We almost couldn't supply them. Fortunately, their brothers were very capable and worked quickly and well. In an hour I was able to break down dozens of adobes, and when the sun hit me, I quickly made up for them, one for ten!”

Li was full of praise for the four Fang brothers, and the others were almost the same. Some even wanted to act as matchmakers for them because they saw how capable they were.



Jiang Ning saw that everything was going well in the workshop and the work in the fields was not delayed. Fang's brothers became more and more satisfied, so they stopped worrying about the workshop and devoted themselves to their picking business. Before the spring bamboo shoots in Rongshu Village, she picked them every day. Heading up the mountain with a hoe.

Digging by one person was too slow. Fortunately, there were two children, Xiaoya and Xiaohua, who helped. Two days later, even Da Ya and Er Ya came over with hoes to help.

But the two girls looked a little uneasy, not even daring to raise their heads when they stood in front of Jiang Ning.

We haven’t seen each other for a while. The two children seem to have grown a lot taller and lost a lot of weight.

Erya was bolder and summoned up the courage to say to Jiang Ning, "Uncle, we are here to help."

“Who asked you to come?” Jiang Ning asked, raising his eyebrows.

Like children who have done something wrong, the two sisters looked at each other and then lowered their heads.

Da Ya said in a low voice: "My grandma said that my uncle lent me three hundred yuan to treat my father and brother. We want to repay my uncle's debt."

“Have you finished all the work in the fields?” Jiang Ning asked again.

The two girls nodded in unison, "We didn't come until we finished."

“Okay, let’s see how I dig it.” Jiang Ning showed a few children how to dig. After seeing that they were doing well, he felt free to continue working.

A few people could dig about 500 kilograms a day, but Jiang Ning refused to let them work in vain. Each of them was given ten cents. The two younger ones hugged the money happily, but the elder Ya and Er Ya did not dare to ask for it. Jiang Ning gave the money to Li. , and asked Li to hand it over to them.

Mrs. Li counted the money in Yang Laoer's salary and told her two granddaughters about it when she got back, "You have done a good job. In the future, your aunt will still not be able to take the money. If she gives it to me, I will directly For your dad, if not, you can’t have any objections, understand?”
