Chapter 153： broke you today

Chapter 153 Let you lose money today

"Flooded, homeless, and the government didn't act, so naturally fled elsewhere."

"The imperial court has relief every year, but they are deducted step by step, and there is not much in the hands of the people."

While talking, the carriage came to a small town, and it was time to get off and exercise.

The old gentleman asked the driver to stop at the entrance of a small restaurant, and everyone got out of the car.

Moved around on the spot and stretched a bit before going in to eat.

At this time, a group of ragged refugees came to them.

"Madam, miss, young master, please do me a favor, we haven't eaten for three days."

The old lady was kind-hearted and asked, "They all escaped from the south?"

"Yes, the flood caused the family to disappear, and relatives to disappear."

The old lady felt a sense of invisibility, Qiao Mai hurriedly said when she saw this.

"The old lady has me here, you go in and sit down to eat first, I'll take care of it?"

"Well, that's hard work for you, old man, your body is useless."

Qiao Mai waved at them, "Come with me."

She took them to the steamed bun shop, "Boss, give them ten steamed buns each, and I will pay the money at the end."

The store owner looked at her clothes, then nodded.

"All right"

At this moment, the refugees in the small town immediately gathered towards this moment, and Qiao Mai yelled at them.

"If you want to eat steamed buns, you have to line up, everyone has a share, don't worry."

Some people still wanted to get caught, but they were kicked on the ground by Qiao Mai, and they couldn't get up for a long time.

Qiao Mai guarded the steamer, each of them received ten steamed buns, and she would give a dime. I hope they cherish this opportunity, find a suitable place to stay, and stop wandering like this.

There are dozens of refugees in the small town, and the business of the bun shop has never been so easy.

Hundreds of thousands of steamed buns were all sold, and the scraps of money in Qiao Mai's hands were also handed out, which amounted to more than a hundred taels, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

After posting, she went back to the restaurant for dinner.

The old lady has finished eating at this time, and she is waiting for her,

"Have they all eaten?"

"Ten steamed buns for each person, and a dime of silver, is that all right?"

"It broke your fortune today."

"The disaster is avoided."

After dinner, everyone boarded the car, and the old lady was still looking out, seeing that every refugee had snow-white steamed buns, so she felt relieved.

There were too many things like this along the way. The old lady showed kindness, and Qiao Mai contributed money and effort.

Finally, the old lady stopped humming when she saw her. She knew that if she went on like this, she would not be able to reach the capital without a million taels.

Don't talk about Qiao Mai, even I can't bear it.

She sat in the car and never went out to pick her hair anymore. In order not to keep her bored, Qiao Mai always conjured up one or two snacks from time to time.

If she stayed at the inn at night, she would stock up some delicious soup for the old lady.

Thirteen days later, that is, the first day of September, I finally arrived in the capital.

The children were shocked by the majestic city gates and buildings. When they entered the city, they all opened the car windows, looking at the tall and majestic city walls and the soldiers standing upright.

Even Ling'er didn't care about eating, and looked out with his mouth open.

Especially in the capital city, the eyes of a few children are not enough to see. There are so many people, cars, and vendors.

The carriage traveled for about two quarters of an hour in the capital before stopping in front of a house.

"Bi Chun Yuan?"

"Well, this is my dowry, which belongs to my personal property."

The carriage entered through the side door. Because I had sent someone to give orders before, the house was cleaned very clean.

All the necessary supplies are also prepared. Once you enter the house, you can eat hot meals in a short while.

Now Qiao Mai has fully appreciated the ancient style of architecture. She had a good time watching it along the way. She even took a close look at the clothes and accessories they wore.

It's not that she envies, it's not that she's jealous, it's just because she simply likes this classical style.

Everyone finished their meal with tired faces, and Qiao Mai took her people to live in the elegant Begonia courtyard.

After washing up, I told them to rest quickly. After a long journey, even if they didn't work, they still felt tired physically and mentally.

The small courtyard was quiet, Qiao Mai barricaded the courtyard door, and sat alone on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Looking up at the moon in the sky, after coming for so long, her heart has never warmed up, and the sense of belonging is still not strong.

I feel like duckweed, no matter where I am, I can settle down anywhere, unlike some people who are particularly attached to home.

She sighed, a set of tea sets appeared on the table in a thought, she touched the teapot with her finger, and water appeared in it, she put her hand on the teapot lightly, the water boiled, put tea leaves in it, closed the lid, and stopped After a while I poured myself a cup of tea.

took a sip, the tea was grown by myself from the tea seedlings purchased on the platform,

There are many good things in the space that have never been taken out, and the fruits and vegetables that are usually eaten are only the kinds that are often eaten.

Anyway, she never brought out something too special.

Everyone else fell asleep, but she couldn't sleep. She wanted to visit Jiaru, but she didn't know where the Wang family was.

The children are new here, and they are very unfamiliar, so I better not run around.

After drinking the tea in the cup, he waved his hand and put away the tea set again.

After returning to the house, he meditated on the bed and practiced.

It's not her own home, and she can't sleep well. Therefore, during the period from coming to the capital to returning, she must take good care of the children so that nothing goes wrong.

The next day, at dawn, she opened her eyes and got down from the kang.

The children were still sleeping, Yuehong and Yuexia got up immediately when they heard that she had left the house.

"You guys wash up and just watch them, I don't need your help here."

"Yes, master"

Fortunately, there is a small kitchen in this courtyard. She came to the kitchen, pulled a yam from the field in the space, picked two tomatoes, took three eggs from the refrigerator, a small bag of white flour, two lettuces, a A box of sweet noodle sauce, and tender chives come out.

She plans to make a yam tomato egg drop soup for the children in the early morning, and bake a few small pancakes to eat.

This pancake, she really can't do it. After thinking about it, she threw the white flour into the space, and directly traded fifty thin spring pancakes on the platform.

This is the most suitable for making burritos. After the soup is ready, roll each burrito with shallots and place them neatly on the plate.

It was only then that Yuehong called them up, when the old lady and the old gentleman came over, and they wanted to call them to the front hall for dinner.

When I saw the meal, I immediately said that I ate it here.

The weather was neither hot nor cold, and the dining table was set in the yard. There were a lot of cakes in Qiao Mai Roll, enough for these few people to eat.

"Shall we go to see Ru'er today?"

"No, I don't want to look at the faces of the Wang family. They are all separated. My granddaughter is married. Why should I be in his house and give his parents face?"

The old gentleman glared at her, but said nothing. In fact, according to the folk saying, the old lady was right.

"But after all, it is the master's house. After you and your husband return to the capital, you should visit it as soon as possible."

"No, if Ru'er doesn't come today, I'll go back to my mother's house to see my brothers. I'll tell you, old man, you have to go too."

"If you don't go to my house, then I won't go to your house either."

"you!"

Looking at the two old people who were bickering like children, "I ate dinner and took the children out for a stroll."

"Take a carriage, watch it on the carriage, come down and buy it if you like it, there are many people in the capital, and there are many kidnappers,"

"knew."

After a while, Wang Jiaru asked the mother-in-law to call back, saying that Minger came to visit them.

So, Qiao Mai took the child in the carriage and went out, while the old lady prepared a gift and brought the old man back to her natal home.
