Chapter 122 The Journey to the Ferry
Now Tangning was completely stunned by Qiu Jingming's words, looked him up and down, and sighed for a long time: "It's a pity for you to be a shopkeeper. If you are from a famous family, maybe the history of Dazhou Can be rewritten."

Qiu Jingming only thought she was exaggerating, and the two of them started discussing the Southwest and Lingnan along the way, and didn't stop until they entered the house.

As soon as they returned to the town, Guo Lichang led a group of people to Pingyuan Township to distribute disaster relief money, and also went to the Tang family to praise Tang Junsheng and give him two taels of silver as a reward.

The Tang family did not suffer any losses in this flood, and logically speaking, they would not be able to get any money. Tang Junsheng and his son were happy for a long time because of the extra two taels of silver. It's only been less than a year, how much money they have saved!

The father and son couldn't find the north, but they didn't know that at this time, the magistrate Du had already written an account of Tang Junsheng's construction of the drainage truck, and hurriedly sent it to Xijing. For the Tang family, it was still unclear whether it was a blessing or a curse.

When Qiu Jingming came back from selling goods again, the weather began to turn cold. The sun was shining brightly yesterday, but today he woke up with a clear sky and a cool breeze. A few withered and yellow leaves fell from the trees, reminding people The season is changing!

Mrs. Jiang woke up early, and before she finished her work at the kitchen, she heard someone knocking on the door. When she opened the shop, she found that it was Qiu Jingming, and hurriedly ushered him in, "Why so early? Why are you traveling all night?"

Qiu Jingming's hair was a little damp, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or dew. He took the hot tea Jiang handed him and drank it down. He sighed comfortably and said with a smile, "I started my journey yesterday evening, and I just arrived home now."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang frowned and disapproved.

But Qiu Jingming said excitedly: "Auntie, the news that Auntie Huang wants me to inquire about has some clues."

Jiang's eyes lit up immediately, and he forgot to ask Qiu Jingming, "Tell me quickly, which girl? What's the situation?"

Speaking of which, Mrs. Jiang even ran to the kitchen, brought some food over, and signaled Qiu Jingming to talk while eating.

Qiu Jingming couldn't give up his kindness, so he ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, and said to himself, "Auntie, this girl still has the same surname as you!"

"Same surname as me? Is there such a fate? Where is he from?" Jiang became more and more curious, as if to say goodbye to his son.

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

It’s just that the family background is poor. The reason why I think the girl is suitable is because she is capable, unlike the pampered girls in Jiangnan, and they don’t ask for so much dowry. At the beginning, Aunt Huang said that it is best to find someone who is hardworking and can endure hardship. Yes, and their family's conditions are limited, so they can't give so many betrothal gifts according to the rules here. "

Jiang nodded thoughtfully, "Then how do you know that family doesn't want so many betrothal gifts? Could it be that you have inquired about it?"

"That's not true! I just came to my own conclusion after listening to their chats at the ferry." Qiu Jingming said honestly.

Jiang's: "."

"Auntie, I've made up my mind. I'll go to Uncle Huang and Brother Huang in a while, and explain the situation to them. If they're interested, let's inquire again. If they don't agree, just pretend I didn't say anything." Qiu Jingming was also straightforward.

Jiang shi helped his forehead helplessly, "You are too impatient, kid. This is not the way to inquire about someone! At least you have to know the details of the other party's character and age. You can't do it like that!"

"Then what should we do?" Qiu Jingming's eyes widened. It was his first time doing this kind of thing, and he was really inexperienced.

Jiang Shi rubbed his head, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Well, I'll go to the ferry with you!"

"What?" Tangning's astonished voice sounded from behind the two.

Qiu Jingming was also a little confused, and explained: "Auntie said that she wants to go with me to see someone."

"Mom! Who are you looking for!" Tangning opened her eyes wide and looked Jiang up and down, fearing that Jiang would marry her behind her back.

Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes angrily, "It's not about the Huang family's marriage. I just came to Suzhou for a few days, and my mother wants to go out for a walk. I heard that there is a Guanyin Temple on the side of the Grand Canal. Your sister-in-law asks for blessings, and bless her to give birth safely, of course, it is best to bring your Aunt Huang with you, after all, she is the one who calls the daughter-in-law, not me."

Tangning heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down carelessly, "Mom, if you want to go out, just say so, but you really should go out for a walk, my cousin in the shop is too busy."

"I can help too." Qiu Changsheng also came out at some time, and went straight to Qiu Jingming with a worried look on his face, "Brother, why did you come back so early? Did you hurry last night?"

Qiu Jingming looked gentle, and smiled lightly: "Normal, I'll go to rest in a while, if you want to help, just help, don't be exhausted."

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

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

On the same day, Mrs. Zhou asked someone to send a message to Mrs. Jiang, agreeing to go to the ferry.

From Tongshui Town to the ferry, you need to take a donkey cart or an ox cart. It happened that Tang Laoer was driving the donkey cart and directly expressed that he would take them there in person.

Naturally, Tang Ning was indispensable for a long trip. Not to mention Jiang and Zhou, don't worry about it. Even Tang Junsheng and Huang Desheng have nothing to worry about.

With the donkey cart, Qiu Jingming could also bring more goods out. Looking at those goods, let alone Qiu Jingming was happy, even the Jiang family laughed from ear to ear, asking why?Naturally, most of the goods that Qiu Jingming brought out were eaten in their shop, as well as Tangning's silk soap.

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

After the donkey cart entered the city, Qiu Jingming took them to an inconspicuous inn familiarly, and explained: "This is one of the places where I stay. I have been here so many times, and I have some friendship with the shopkeeper. What's the matter?" If you need it, just mention it, and you can ask the waiter in the inn to help take care of the donkey, just give a small amount of money, and Tang Erbo can take the opportunity to go out for a walk, and you don't have to stay by the donkey cart all the time."

When Tang Laoer heard this, his impression of Qiu Jingming immediately increased, "That's a good relationship, and I will go out to see the world."

The big guys laughed immediately.

Despite the inconspicuousness of this inn, the space inside is not small. Many colorful flowers are planted under the eaves on both sides of the entrance. There are also some hanging baskets hanging under the eaves, which seem to be orchids.
