Chapter 122: Journey to the Ferry

Tang Ning was completely stunned by Qiu Jingming's words. He looked at him up and down, and after a long time he sighed, "It's a pity that you are a peddler. If you were in a prominent family, the history of the Great Zhou might be rewritten."

Qiu Jingming just thought she was exaggerating, and the two of them discussed the topics of Southwest and Lingnan along the way, and did not stop until they entered the house.

As soon as they returned to the town, Guo Lichang took a group of people to Pingyuan Township, distributed disaster relief silver, and went to the Tang family, praised Tang Junsheng heavily and gave two taels of silver rewards.

The Tang family did not lose money in this flood. It is logical that they could not get silver. The extra two taels of silver made Tang Junsheng and his son happy for most of the day. They felt that coming to Pingyuan Township was really their blessing. Look, it was only less than a year before, and they had saved up so much money!

The father and son were happy to find the north, but they didn't know that at this time, County Magistrate Du had already written the incident of Tang Junsheng building a drainage truck and sent it to Xijing with a quick horse. It is still unknown whether it is a blessing or a disaster for the Tang family.

When Qiu Jingming went out to sell goods again, the weather began to turn colder. It was clear that the sun was shining brightly yesterday, but when I woke up today, it was clear that the sky was clear. The wind was cool, and the yellow leaves on the trees floated down a few times, reminding people that the seasons have changed!

Jiang woke up early. Before he finished his work in the other end of the kitchen, he heard someone knocking on the door. After opening the shop, he found that it was Qiu Jingming. He hurriedly welcomed people in, "Why is it so early? But he was rushing all night?"

Qiu Jingming's hair was a little wet, and I don't know if it was sweat or dew. He took the hot tea handed over by Jiang and drank it all, sighing comfortably, and laughed: "I started rushing to the road yesterday evening, and now I'm just here to get home."

"What's so urgent?" Jiang frowned and disagreed.

Qiu Jingming said excitedly: "Auntie, the news that Uncle Huang asked me to inquire is obvious."

Jiang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he forgot to ask Qiu Jingming, "Let me tell me, which girl? What's the situation?"

As he said that, Jiang also went to the kitchen and brought some food over, signaling Qiu Jingming to eat while talking.

Qiu Jingming was unable to stop her affection, so she ate a few bites of porridge and pondered: "Auntie, this girl is the same surname as you!"

"The same surname as me? I am so destined to be with me? Where are we?" Jiang became more and more curious, as if he was telling his son that he was hiding.

Qiu Jingming nodded and continued, "I heard from the people working at the ferry that they also fled from the northwest. It seems that they have only arrived in Suzhou this year, and they have very little money left. They can only rent a poor alley near the Grand Canal. The girl has both parents and three brothers, and the population is prosperous.

The family is a little bit worse. The reason why I think that girl is suitable is mainly because that girl is capable, different from the spoiled girl in Jiangnan. And they don’t want so many betrothal gifts. At the beginning, Uncle Huang said it would be better to find someone who is diligent and able to endure hardships. Their family has limited conditions and cannot give so many betrothal gifts according to the rules here."

Jiang nodded slowly thoughtfully, "How do you know that that family doesn't have so many betrothal gifts? Could it be that you've been asking?"

"This is not! It's just the conclusion they came to when they were chatting at the ferry entrance." Qiu Jingming said honestly.

Jiang's: "..."

"Aunt, I've decided. I'll go find Uncle Huang and Brother Huang later to tell them the situation. If they are interested, let's go and inquire again. If they don't agree, just pretend I didn't say it." Qiu Jingming was also direct.

Jiang had no choice but to hold his forehead, "You kid is too anxious. This is not what he asked about this! At least he had to know the other party's background and age. You will definitely not be able to say this!"

"What should I do?" Qiu Jingming widened his eyes. It was the first time he had done such a thing, and he really had no experience.

Jiang rubbed his head, thought for a long time before gritting his teeth and making a decision, "In this way, I'll go to the ferry with you!"

"What?" Tang Ning's voice sounded behind the two of them in surprise.

Qiu Jingming was also a little confused and explained: "My aunt said she wanted to go see someone with me."

"Mom! Who are you looking at?" Tang Ning opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang up and down, for fear that Jiang would give her marriage on her back.

Jiang rolled her eyes in anger, "It's not the marriage of the boy of the Huang family. I happened to be in Suzhou for some time, and my mother also wanted to go out for a walk. I heard that there is a Guanyin Temple on the other side of the Grand Canal that is very good. I want to ask your sister-in-law for a blessing and bless her to give birth safely. Of course, it's best to bring your uncle Huang with me. After all, she is the one who says her daughter-in-law, but not me."

Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and sat down carelessly, "Mom, just say it yourself if you want to go out, but it's really time to go out for a walk. My cousin in the shop is busy alone."

"I can help too." Qiu Changsheng came out at some point and walked straight towards Qiu Jingming with a worried look on his face, "Brother, why did you come back so early? Was you hurrying last night?"

Qiu Jingming looked gentle and chuckled, "Normal, I'll go to rest in a while. If you want to help, please help. Don't be tired."

With Qiu Jingming's approval, Qiu Changsheng was obviously very happy and his whole body exuded a sense of pleasure.

When Qiu Jingming went back to rest, Jiang immediately went to the market and immediately told them about the situation when the Huang family and his son arrived.

On the same day, Zhou asked someone to send messages to Jiang and agreed to go to the ferry.

From Tongshui Town to the Ferry, you need to take a donkey cart or a ox cart. It just so happened that Tang Laoer drove the donkey cart and directly expressed that he wanted to send them there in person.

Of course, Tang Ning must not be missing if she is with her. Not to mention Jiang and Zhou, even Tang Junsheng and Huang Desheng have nothing to worry about. They will ignore her.

With the donkey cart Qiu Jingming, he could bring more goods out. Looking at those goods, let alone Qiu Jingming was happy, even Jiang couldn't stop smiling and asked why? Of course, it was because most of the goods brought by Qiu Jingming were eaten in their shops, as well as Tang Ning's silk soap.

As long as his business is good, they will naturally make more money.

After the donkey cart entered the city, Qiu Jingming took them to an inconspicuous inn with a familiar road and explained: "This is one of my places to stay. After coming here so many times, it can be considered as having some friendship with the shopkeeper. If you have anything to ask, you can ask the waiter of the inn to help take care of the donkey and give a little money. Uncle Tang can take the opportunity to go out and not have to stay by the donkey cart all the time."

When Tang Laoer heard this, his impression of Qiu Jingming rose sharply, "Then the relationship is good, I will go out to see the world."

The big guy immediately laughed.
