Chapter 32
"Be careful and don't let anyone know where this method came from, let alone where I am."
"yes."
Although he didn't know why his master didn't take advantage of the situation, he had been with his master for many years and understood Xie Zhan's temperament. He just did what he was told to do, without asking or even thinking about it.
No matter what happens, Xie Zhan will not harm himself.
He only needs to remember this, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else that has nothing to do with him.
"Get ready, it's time for me to go."
Xie Zhanshi stood up without hesitation, ignored his men's efforts to stay, and rode towards the border town.
I don’t know what happened to Mingxiu’s family during the time he left. Although when he was there, Xie Zhan seemed to hate Mingxiu, and he thought so himself, but now that they haven’t seen each other for a long time, he even still misses her a little bit.
.
The habit is really strange.
Xie Zhan said to himself.
"Master, why don't you bring more money?" The middle-aged man scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "Although I am useless, I have been rich these years and I am willing to honor my master."
Xie Zhan is such a good-looking person. He has always been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. How has he ever suffered anything?
Now he was leaving with only two hundred pieces of silver. He was worried about nothing.
If we were in the capital, what would these two hundred pieces of silver be? It was nothing more than money for a piece of clothing.
"No, I'm going alone. Having too much money on me will inevitably make people jealous. I'll be in trouble all my life. This is good."
He is not dressed in a conspicuous manner. From a distance, he looks like a young man from a relatively well-to-do family. He doesn't stand out, but he doesn't look easy to bully. This is the safest way to go.
Now Xie Zhan doesn't want to reveal his identity, and he even vaguely feels that he would be quite comfortable living in the Ming family for the rest of his life.
If his subordinates knew what he was thinking, they would really spit out a mouthful of blood.
Now, in the eyes of his subordinates, his forbearance was for their own sake. Otherwise, according to Xie Zhan's ability, if he really wanted to kill everything, he might not be able to succeed.
But if that's the case, there will definitely be a river of blood.
The subordinate was full of gratitude. Even though Xie Zhan said that as long as it was simple and inconspicuous, he still tried his best to pack everything for him to leave, from clothes to horses.
They all look ordinary, but actually hide mysteries. We don’t seek to be the best, but we seek to make Xie Zhan most comfortable.
Not only that, he also asked his mother-in-law to put a thousand taels of silver in the cotton-padded clothes prepared for Xie Zhan, because he was afraid that Xie Zhan would be short of money if he needed money.
Knowing that Xie Zhan would not accept it, he did not speak until Xie Zhan left.
"The older I get, the more I look like an old woman."
Xie Zhan was a little bit dumbfounded. After all, it was the kindness of his subordinates, and it was hard for him to refuse.
What's more, the Ming family is indeed short of money. He has heard Mingxiu secretly murmuring more than once about how he would survive without money.
With this money, Mingxiu can feel a little less melancholy.
He didn't admit that this was concern, it was just that Mingxiu treated him like a family member and trusted him, and he reciprocated the favor.
"Pack up and go to the town with your mother to buy some cotton cloth."
Mingxiu cried, "Mom, didn't you already go there two days ago?" Why do you still want to go?
Didn't she say it herself? Even if the family now has a few dollars, it should still save some money?
"You are just lazy. Last time you went there, you bought enough fabric and cotton for making clothes. But look at our bedding. Do we need to change it too?"
If it were for his own use, Mingmu would not be willing to part with the money.
But Mingxiu is still young, and sleeping with a damp quilt is not good for your health.
A few years ago, it was just that there were no conditions at home. At that time, it was already very good to have food to eat and survive.
But now that she has this extra money, Ming's mother is naturally concerned about her daughter sleeping better.
What Ming's mother said was indeed true. Even if Mingxiu wanted to refute it, there was no point. The bedding at home was indeed damp, and you could smell a strong musty smell when you got a little closer.
Now is the time to get a new one in time for the New Year.
Walking all the way to the town on a freezing day, Mingxiu secretly decided that when Xie Zhan came back, she would find a way to convince her parents to buy a bullock cart. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to just walk back and forth on legs.
"What kind of cloth does sister-in-law want to buy?"
Ming's mother often comes to this cloth shop. The boss is kind and kind, and from time to time he will send some pieces of cloth to make hair. Ming's mother is very satisfied, and she has become acquainted with the proprietress after going back and forth.
"Let's get some muslin and thirty pounds of cotton."
Thirty kilograms of cotton divided into four quilts was already extremely thick. The cotton was all available at this time, so although the price was not low, Ming's mother gritted her teeth and bought it.
Mingxiu thought about it later. Cotton was thick, and although it was warm, it was not as light and warm as down.
I wanted to ask Ming's mother to buy less, but I turned around in my heart and still didn't say anything.
I didn’t see Ming’s mother and the proprietress smiling like flowers, but seeing that Ming’s mother was so happy, I just bought it.
Thirty kilograms of cotton, roughly calculated, only costs about 200 yuan, which is affordable.
"Why is it you?"
A chubby woman came in at the door. Mingxiu raised her eyes and saw who it was if it wasn't Zhao Qiao.
She was looking at Mingxiu with an unkind look on her face.
But obviously, it's not as arrogant as last time.
Mingxiu thought for a while, maybe it was because Magistrate Zhao knew that she had let the prisoner go without permission, so he gave her a lesson.
Although she didn't know whether Zhang San and others were captured later, she felt very happy when she saw Zhao Qiao's deflated appearance.
"Miss Zhao also came out to buy cotton?"
"Whatever I want will be delivered to my door. Unlike poor people like you, I have to go out to buy it myself. It's really embarrassing." Zhao Qiao frowned in disgust, as if he was mocking Mingxiu for showing up in public.
What Mingxiu said made Mingxiu secretly laugh in her heart. She saw a good-looking man outside and went up to talk to her, but now she has the nerve to accuse others?
"I haven't congratulated Miss Zhao on her wedding yet."
Last month, Zhao Qiao married Li Guangsheng. It was said that the scene was extremely lively, but the Ming family did not attend the ceremony.
After all, Mingxiu and Li Guangcheng had an engagement, and now Li Guangcheng is married to the county magistrate's daughter. If he goes there, there will definitely be some good people watching the fun.
She had no interest in being treated like a monkey, and she didn't care about Li Guangcheng and Zhao Qiao's affair.
Zhao Qiao looked at her with interest, "I heard that you and Li Guangcheng were engaged before, right? How about you give me your handsome man, and Li Guangcheng will still be yours?"
After all, Zhao Qiao is also a girl. She treats men like playthings, which makes Mingxiu feel a little unhappy.
Regardless of whether a man or a woman is married, he or she is a family, not a plaything, nor something that can be exchanged.
