Chapter 1463: The daughter of the enemy has a spiritual spring 4
"Miao, if you can make a beggar chicken that I approve, how about I give you three taels of silver?"
Wei Shaoyou closed his fan, and a small and exquisite silver ingot appeared in his palm, tossing it up and down boringly.
Three taels of silver is by no means a small amount, and a family of five in the countryside may not be able to drop three taels of silver after traveling for a year.
Shu Ange was about to agree when Tian Gengyu took her arm.
"This son, my family is bereaved, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to be a beggar for you."
The younger sister doesn't like knitting women's reds, and prefers to grow flowers and trees to cook soup and desserts. Tian Gengyu is not surprised at all, she can make mouth-watering food.
But the Tian family is now in an extraordinary period. Tian Gengyu just wants to send his sister back to the clan, and does not want to cause trouble.
Wei Shaoyou smiled, put away the silver and closed his eyes.
The other party has filial piety, and although he is greedy, he also knows that it is impossible to force others to be difficult.
Shu Ange tugged at Tian Gengyu's sleeve and said softly, "Brother, when we are short of money, being a beggar can earn three taels of silver, which is not bad."
Tian Gengyu naturally knew that this was a good deal, but he was reluctant to let his sister suffer.
"Yingniang, don't worry about these chores. After the snow stops tomorrow, I will send you back to the clan."
Seeing Tian Gengyu's stubborn attitude, Shu Ange sighed.
"Brother, the Xue family, the newly promoted emperor merchant, has a big grudge against you and my brother and sister. How could they easily let you and me go, even if the clansmen are willing to help our brothers and sisters, they would not dare to fight against officials. Besides, the big family, It is inevitable that there will be a few wolf-hearted people, if the Xue family bribes them, it will embarrass you and my brother and sister..."
When Shu Ange said this, he clenched Tian Gengyu's wrist.
"At that time, you and I, brother and sister, will be called Tian Tian not. If the earth and the earth will not work, you can only be slaughtered by others."
Tian Gengyu was still young in the end, and when there was a sudden change in his family, he was in a state of **** rush.
He just wanted to find the theory of the Xue family and entrust his sister to the clan.
After my sister mentioned this, I was sweating like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Uncle Mu didn't expect Shu Ange, a little girl, to think so long-term. Although he was not very smart, he ate more for decades, and followed Tian Gengyu to persuade him.
"Young master, the young lady is right. The Xue family has an official family as their backing, and the master was imprisoned by them to die innocently, and the wife was forced to—"
He wiped away his tears, endured his choked sobbing and said, "Madam's bones are not cold, and the ones who miss the most are the young master and young lady. At this time, when they return to the clan, in order not to offend the official family, they choose to sit on the sidelines in all likelihood."
There is a saying that people take tea to cool off. In the past, when Tian Shantang was there, they donated money to the clan every year for the children to go to school, and spent money to repair the ancestral hall.
Every time Tian Shantang brings his wife and children back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, they are always warmly welcomed.
But today is different from the past. Tian Shantang and his wife died unjustly, and the Tian family lost their royal business. When the young master and the young lady return to the countryside, they will only be greeted with indifference.
"This--isn't this world without the king's law, and our Tian family will let the Xue family trample on it?"
Tian Gengyu looked sullen, his lips turned white, and his fingers trembled.
After being instructed by his sister and Uncle Mu, he realized how outrageous his mistake was.
If he sent his younger sister to a country clan as he thought before, how could she, an orphan girl, survive the wind sword and snow sword.
"Brother, the Xue family can cover the sky with one hand in Huaining. If we change the place, they can't do anything. For my sister, it's better for us to go to Chunming to join our ancestors and find a way to revive the family business and get justice for our parents."
Shu Ange didn't want Tian Gengyu to face off against the Xue family now and sacrifice his life for no reason.
Chunming is located in the southwestern province of Chenguo, where the climate is mild and the land is sparsely populated, making it suitable for planting flowers, plants and trees.
Furthermore, the brothers and sisters' grandfather's family is also considered a prominent family in the local area. There are many local aristocrats over there, and court officials should also give some face to the local aristocrats.
Therefore, for Shu Ange and Tian Gengyu, going to Chunming is the best choice at the moment.
Tian Gengyu let out a long sigh, caressed the back of Shu Ange's head, and said, "I'm an older brother, but I don't even understand my younger sister. Uncle Mu is right. Going to the countryside will only add trouble to them. People are separated from each other, who knows what will happen to them. No one will be bought by the Xue family."
Wei Shaoyou closed his eyes leisurely and rested, not interested in the enmity between the brothers and sisters.
"Brother, we need money to go to Chunming. We have to leave home in a hurry. We can't even afford food and clothing. It's very difficult to make enough money for the journey. It's better to make money while traveling."
Tian Gengyu was also worried about the toll, but how could he bear his sister to worry about it.
"Yingniang, don't worry about the toll. My brother also has a few friends in the city. I'll ask them to borrow some money tomorrow, and when I get to my grandfather's house, I'll send someone to return the toll."
Tian Gengyu is still too naive, the friendship between friends is real, but how many people can help him at the risk of offending the official family?
Most of the friends he made were businessmen like the Tian family.
Those who do business are most afraid of offending officials.
"Brother, the Xue family must be watching you and me these days. If you go to a friend's house to borrow travel expenses, they will either dare not borrow it, or the Xue family will take revenge for it."
"Sister, you think the Xue family is too terrifying. They are just new emperors. Even if the prefect is on their side, they can't keep everyone away from us, right?"
"But brother, have you ever thought about it, what if the person standing behind the Xue family is not the prefect, but a higher-level dignitary?"
As soon as Shu Ange reached her point, Tian Gengyu stared at her blankly, her mind a little unable to turn around.
Wei Shaoyou opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "What a shrewd little girl, you offended such a big man, shouldn't I have to avoid it quickly to avoid being implicated."
"Listen to your son's accent, he doesn't look like someone from Huaining. The Xue family intends to kill our brothers and sisters as much as possible. The two of us are just seeking a way out. You can rest assured, son, we will act carefully so that you will not be implicated."
Wei Shaoyou put away the folding fan and tapped on the palm of his hand, his phoenix eyes were affectionate, lining an extremely ordinary face, revealing an indescribable brilliance.
"Hehe, I will trust you for a while. As long as the beggar chicken you make suits this son's appetite, I will give you three taels of silver."
"Thank you, son. After dawn tomorrow, we will find a farmhouse nearby, and then go to the market to buy some condiments. The little girl will definitely make a delicious beggar chicken for the son."
Tian Gengyu saw that his sister and the strange man made a promise for tomorrow in a few words, and always felt that something was wrong.
"Brother, it's getting late, take a rest, we still have to figure out a way to leave Huaining."
After Shu Ange finished speaking, he closed his eyes first.
The light of the fire gradually cooled down, and the cold wind came in through the cracks in the broken temple.
Wei Shaoyou opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the huddled little girl. She was wearing sackcloth, with a filial cloth wrapped around her head, and her little face was red and bright, very pitiful.
