Zhao Ping'an was specially brought by Yan Zheng. He felt that when he Miao got married, he would be happy to see his hometown people come to congratulate him, so he told Zhao Ping An that he would take him to Beijing.
Since Zhao Ping'an worked in the Yan family, he has been living better and better day by day because of his hard work. Now he and his wife have settled down in Yanzhou. Zhao Ping'an even got his wife a Xiang into Yan's house through his relationship, and helped with the work in the kitchen. They could get nearly three Liang silver each month. Because both of them went to work, Yuanzi was left unattended. At last, they went back to their mother's house to take their second sister Xinghua to the city to take care of Yuanzi. By the way, they could also help with some cleaning and mending work at home. They could earn hundreds of dollars a month, which could be regarded as saving their own wedding makeup for Xinghua.
In this regard, the widowed mother Mo did not stop, and even ordered Ping'an to help a good young man, apricot blossom this year also has 15, it's time to say goodbye.
Zhao Ping'an has this idea. He thinks that if he wants to marry his sister as a farmer and work in the fields day by day, it's better to marry him to the city and help him look after a shop and do some small business. The brother and sister can take care of him.
Apricot flowers have been fresh in the city for a few days, so I have to recognize the reality. I even have to buy green onions from vendors in the city. It's not as fresh as my own family. I just go to the backyard vegetable field to pull out two of them and wrap them in big cakes with sauce! So she felt that it was expensive in the city, so she took the initiative to help find a job.
Once in a while, apricot flower also mentions hemiao. After all, her family is close to hemiao's family. Her brother can get the job from Yan's family, but hemiao is still pulling the line. It's false to say that he is not grateful. But the mountain is high and the water is far away. I don't think I can see it in my whole life, so I can only ask elder brother to inquire about the news from Yan's family. What she wanted to know most was, of course, whether the young master of the capital official married hemiao as promised.
As a result, there has been no news from the capital. Xinghua and Ping'an feel that this matter is mostly yellow.
When Ren an left Yanzhou capital, he was with his father Ren's fleet. If Zhao Ping'an hadn't seen the battle with his own eyes, he didn't dare to think about it! Mr. Ren has many guards around him. The guard of honor is powerful!
He Miao was escorted to Beijing by a team of escorts. He did not know that the road was not peaceful. It's said that when the flood broke out, many victims of Dongjun County rushed to the mainland, and even some small caravans who occupied the mountains and killed the grass were robbed. There are also some shop assistants who go back to their hometown who have been robbed of their bags and monthly money! In the end, it is said that there are still dead people!
After more than a month of disturbance, Yanzhou government sent troops to suppress the bandits several times, and the results were effective, but after the officers and soldiers left, the gangsters who were running around got tangled up again and continued to block the way and rob.
They dare not move the large caravan, but some small caravans with more than a dozen people are able to compete with each other. Even the peddlers who go to the countryside to pick up goods are not spared, and even the goods and money are robbed.
At that time, Zhao Ping'an was very glad that he didn't go back to his hometown any more, but because he didn't dare to go back to his hometown, he broke up with his family. He was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles. He was worried about whether his mother and Yaomei were doing well in the countryside, and whether there were refugees and victims rushing to the countryside.
The chaos lasted for more than two months. At last, it seemed that the news came from Dongjun that the flood had subsided and the plague had been leveled off. They called on everyone to go back to their hometown for reconstruction. The refugees were organized by the government and left in batches.
Dongjun is too far away from Yanzhou capital, and Zhao Ping'an's qualification is not enough. Naturally, he doesn't know that Ren an has made a great contribution and won a reward.
Then Yan Zheng came to Beijing. Because Zhao Ping'an didn't work with the young master, and he even couldn't get into the main courtyard. He just dealt with the steward outside and helped run errands. Naturally, he didn't know that Yan Zheng's main purpose of this trip was to go to Beijing to take refuge with the noble people.
If he knows, he must ask Master Yan to repair a letter for him and send it to hemiao.
When Yan Zheng came back from the capital, because of his busy schedule and many preparations for the new year, young master Yan couldn't get away from talking to Zhao Ping'an about the crops, so he was delayed. Moreover, Zhao Ping'an didn't think that he would be taken seriously by the young master, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to post up to inquire about the information.
It was not until yesterday that master Yan saw Zhao Ping'an when he passed by the garden that he thought of it. He just mentioned it casually. He didn't say that he Miao was going to get married. He just said that he planned to take him to Beijing to see the world.
Zhao Ping'an was flattered and nodded in a hurry!
When other servants saw this scene, they were all envious and thought to themselves: I don't know what bad luck Zhao Ping'an had, but he got the eye of the young master! I'll take you to Beijing to see the world! Is he going to be promoted to be a steward
So, inexplicably, Zhao Ping'an received some people's gifts.
Although the gift is not necessarily valuable, it also means that, which makes him panic. He doesn't know where and what he has done to attract people's attention.
Finally, his wife, a Xiang, said, "is it because they misunderstood that the young master took you to Beijing and intended to give you a promotion?"
"Can't you?" Zhao Ping'an rejected, "I just came in and worked for more than half a year. Which one can look up to me?"
Ah Xiang was noncommittal and said, "I'll take it for you first. You can remember which family gave them. We'll give them back in the future. "Husband and wife are busy packing up and recording gifts, but Xinghua bumps into the door happily.
"Brother! Are you going to Beijing? " She looked at her brother with a happy face.
A Xiang glared at her angrily, lowered her voice and said, "keep your voice down! Is this a worry that people all over the yard won't hear? It's not good to make people mistake us for showing off! "
Apricot flower tongue, Zhao Ping'an can not bear to scold sister, nodded heavily.
Apricot flower is so happy! He quickly took out his usual Embroidered Purse and handkerchief, packed them up and gave them to his brother, and asked him to hand them over to he Miao.
Zhao Ping'an joked with a smile: "the status of hemiao is different from before, where you can use the things made of coarse cloth."
"Others' is others' and mine is mine. I don't know what kind of person sister hemiao is! Brother, just take it with you. "
See brother and sister-in-law are busy packing bags, apricot flower also intervene to help, also side fragmentary read: "I don't know he Miao elder sister and that what Ren childe married or not, elder brother, you go back this can have to ask more carefully, he Miao elder sister suffered what grievance, you have to help her."
Zhao Ping'an shook his head with a bitter smile. "There are many noble people in Beijing. It is said that three of the ten people walking on the street are related to the emperor. What can your brother do for me to help he Miao?"
Apricot flower toot mouth, don't talk.
But Ah Xiang thought more carefully and asked, "do you think we should say hello to Ho Miao's uncle and aunt to see if they have anything to help carry?"
