Chapter 2053 Prodigal
Someone was upset after hearing this and said: "Wu Zhiniang, please take your time and blow, or be careful that the bull in the sky will be smoked down and hit you if you blow too loudly!"
Hahaha, the other relatives burst out laughing and stepped away: "Then we have to stay away from you, lest the cow falls and hits us too. What a injustice to us."
Wu Zhiniang was very angry, pointed at them and cursed: "A bunch of shrews, just be jealous."
Then he said to Wu Zhi in the distance: "Brother Zhi, have you counted yet? How many cars and things are there?!"
Wu Zhi and a group of children in the guardhouse had been counting for more than two quarters of an hour. When he heard this, he ran over with joy on his face and said: "Mom, there are 836 carts, almost a thousand carts of supplies. There are so many, we are rich!”
As soon as I finished speaking, I was slapped in the face.
Bao Fukang walked over with a pen in one hand and a brochure in the other, and corrected him: "That's too many. It's not 836 cars, it's a round number of 800 cars."
After hearing this, the other relatives laughed and said: "Wu Zhiniang, your family's military ambitions can't even be counted clearly. I'm afraid you, a Jinshi lady, won't be able to do it."
"Shut up, you guys, you shameless shrews!" Wu Zhiniang was unhappy, looked at Bao Fukang and said, "Brother Kang, you are probably outnumbered."
He was dissatisfied: "I don't want more, but you insist on having less. Are you just hoping that my wife's family will send less things? This is wrong of you."
Bao Fukang said: "Aunt Wu, whatever you count is what you count. You can't lie about the quantity just because of greed. If you lie about the quantity when making bricks, it will be a violation of the guard's rules and you will be beaten and fined. ...you have to be honest."
Wu Zhiniang looked at Bao Fukang with an unlucky look on her face: "You are only ten years old, why do you speak so rudely? Okay, okay, I won't bullshit you. I'll go and see what good things are in the car?" If you have good stuff, you should mark it, so you can keep an eye on it when you divide it into equal portions!”
Wu Zhiniang was very excited and ran into the pile of cars. She wanted to lift the curtain to see what was inside. But he remembered the rules of the guard house and was afraid of being punished. He rolled his eyes and said to his son: "Wu Zhi, come on, come on, get in and take a look. What's inside?"
Wu Zhi shook his head: "I don't do it... When we practice martial arts and read words every day, we will read the rules of the guard house first. One of them is that you are not allowed to look at things that do not belong to you. Otherwise, you will be punished if you are caught. And you’ll get laughed at.”
He is already ten years old and is about to reach adulthood. If he is punished and laughed at by his friends again, how can he still survive?
Then he said: "Mom, don't look at it. It's just a matter of bragging. You won't be punished for bragging, but you will be punished for rummaging through things. Today is the Lantern Festival, so being punished is not worth it."
Wu Zhiniang was extremely angry: "You're a traitor, I just asked you to look at something, and you're teaching me a lesson! Go, go, you're a useless thing."
But Wu Zhiniang did not dare to turn over the things in the car in the end... Madam Tai was holding the military law in her left hand and the guard's rules in her right hand and stared at them. If you dare to make a mistake, you will not be taken to the latrine, and you will be tortured immediately.
Other relatives and children were also waiting not far from the vehicle, wanting to see what goodies Gu Jinli's family had sent.
Not long after, they were actually asked to wait for someone.
"Hey, Lord Qianhu is here, stand still!" The relatives were all afraid of Qin Sanlang. When they saw him coming, they quickly grabbed their children and stood still, preventing them from running around, and bumped into Qin Sanlang.
Qin Sanlang came over with Tang Baihu, Gifford and others.
Behind them were a group of servants of the Ji family and officers and soldiers of the port guard. They were leading horses, mules and other livestock. There were as many as two hundred of them.
Butler Ji saluted his relatives and shouted: "You military masters, ladies, and young masters, please step back, don't scare the animals."
Qin Sanlang was here. How could his relatives dare to be disobedient? They quickly pulled the child back two feet.
Butler Ji asked his servants to quickly hitch up the cars, one for each person. In less than half a quarter of an hour, two hundred cars were hitched up. After checking three more times to make sure it was safe, Butler Ji came over and said: "Qin Qianhu, Tang Baihu and Jiuye, the cars are all set up and can set off at any time."
Qin Sanlang said: "Today is the Lantern Festival. Brother Xie is still waiting for you. Let's set off now."
The people from the Wushi Escort Agency and the Xingjia Escort Agency did not leave and stayed with Changliang Wei.
Gifford was very grateful for this: "Thank you Qin Qianhu. With Qin Qianhu's help, we feel much more relaxed."
You don't have to worry about the escort doing anything bad, and you don't have to worry about arranging the escort.
Qin Sanlang: "No need to be polite, let's go."
"Hey." Gifford shouted towards the back: "Let's go back to the big port guard!"
After hearing this, the servants of the Ji family were very happy. After walking for only half a year, they would be completely settled after half a day of walking. Everyone was extremely happy in their hearts.
"Let's set off!" The officers of the port guard were also very happy. They swung their whips and lightly hit the horses to make the carriage move towards the gate of the guard station.
Wu Zhiniang watched two hundred cars of things being pulled away, and finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted: "Why are you leaving now? You can't leave. Where are you going to send your things? This is not our chief Liang Wei." Something?!”
"Why are you shouting? These things are half the Ji family's. Now they have only transported 200 carts. After the Lantern Festival, they will come to transport another 200 carts." The old wife and several women are never far away. He came from nowhere and scolded Wu Zhiniang.
Aunt Xiong and Gaofen Niang also came.
"What?" The family members were confused. They originally thought that the eight hundred carts of supplies belonged to them. They were so happy, but who could have imagined that half of them were gone before they got warm: "So, our wife's family gave us four hundred Is the car coming?"
The old wife glanced at them and snorted coldly: "What the hell, four hundred carts of things are too few for you? Does your family have four hundred carts of things that you can give to them? Even if you have them, you wouldn't be willing to give them to them!"
Then he waved his hand and said: "Stop crowding around and get out of the way. Today is the Lantern Festival. We are here to get glutinous rice and sugar to make glutinous rice balls. If you want to eat, just be obedient and don't delay us by asking questions."
But what are the virtues of the relatives in the guard house? You said you won’t ask, so why don’t you ask?
The big guy led the children over and asked: "Ms. Bao Zongqi, how many glutinous rice balls can each family get? Is it just glutinous rice balls? It's a festival today, why don't you eat some big meat to enjoy it?"
Wu Zhiniang asked: "Ms. Bao Zongqi, our wife's mother-in-law's family really only sent 400 carloads of things? This place is thousands of miles away and hired so many escorts, but only 400 carloads of things were sent here, no? It’s a good deal.”
The old wife scolded: "You really don't want to give up, do you want to know so much? If you ask, this thing will become your family. This is the property of the madam's natal family. Whether it is given to us and how much it is given is all decided by the madam. , don’t always worry about something when you see it, or I will peel off your skin!”
After speaking, his face turned dark, and he glared at Wu Zhiniang with an evil look. Wu Zhiniang was frightened and she did not dare to ask any more questions.
In fact, the Gu family sent Gu Jinli not just four hundred carts of supplies, but a thousand carts!
