Chapter 39 I'm so embarrassed today

After Jiang Youzhen finished practicing five full sheets of paper, he pinched his wrist.

I didn’t expect that I would find the joy in practicing calligraphy and I was somewhat immersed in it.

When she looked up, she found that the lights in the house were on, and she was immediately shocked.

"It's so late?" Jiang Youzhen quickly packed up. He didn't know when Tong Huaian was no longer in the study.

"I saw that you were writing seriously, so I didn't disturb you. Don't worry! It's just getting dark outside. I sent someone to check your house. The roof has just been renovated."

At this time, Tong Huaian came into the room carrying a tray with a porcelain bowl on it that was still steaming.

"Are you hungry? The kitchen just made some shredded chicken and bird's nest porridge. Try it."

Jiang Youzhen smelled the fragrance, secretly swallowed his saliva, and waved his hands quickly, "Oh! No, no, I'm not hungry."

Unfortunately, just as she finished speaking, her stomach started growling.

And it's very loud, so others can't help but hear it.

Jiang Youzhen dug his toes into the ground awkwardly and wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Tong Huaian couldn't help laughing, but said nothing. He just put the chicken porridge in front of Jiang Youzhen.

"Thank you very much! I was so engrossed in the game that I didn't even notice I was hungry."

Since he was already embarrassed, Jiang Youzhen decided to just go for broke.

He picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. Tong Huaian immediately stopped him when he saw this, "Wait a minute!"

"Ouch~ It's so hot!" Jiang Youzhen wanted to spit it out, but he didn't have the courage to do so. He could only swallow it down forcefully. It was so scalding that he almost cried.

Tong Huaian immediately poured Jiang Youzhen a cup of warm tea, "You are too anxious. This porridge has been warming on the small clay stove. It is very hot."

In the end, Jiang Youzhen fled in panic. She had no choice but to drink the bowl of porridge while blowing on it under Tong Huaian's gaze.

She covered her face and felt like a starving ghost reincarnated. She was so embarrassed today.

"Jiang Jia Jilang!" Unexpectedly, just as he was about to reach the front yard, a clear female voice came from behind.

"My young master said that you haven't taken the four treasures of the study yet." The maid caught up and gave Jiang Youzhen a book box.

Jiang Youzhen suddenly felt even more embarrassed. Why did he eat and take at the same time? Would Tong Huaian think that he was taking advantage of others?

"Then thank your young master for me. I will buy it and return it to him tomorrow when I go to town."

The little girl immediately covered her mouth and laughed, "My master said this is a gift for you. This can only be used by beginners. He can't use it anymore, so don't take it to heart."

"How embarrassing!" Looking at the girl's round apple face, Jiang Youzhen thought she was quite cute.

"I don't know what the girl's name is."

"My maid's name is Huamei."

Jiang Youzhen nodded immediately, "Your young master is really good at naming. The girl has a melodious and beautiful voice. This name suits her very well."

This sentence made the little girl laugh so hard that her eyes and eyebrows were curved.

"You are so interesting. Will you come tomorrow?"

"Come on! Find your young master and learn to read and write."

The little girl smiled at her, said nothing more, bowed, turned around and left.

Jiang Youzhen didn't think much about it, he just felt that since he was on someone else's territory, he had to bother them, so he had to say a few nice words.

When I arrived at the gatehouse, I found that the old man had been waiting for me for a long time.

"My young master said he wants your raccoon. Here is five taels of silver."

As the old man spoke, he handed the silver to Jiang Youzhen. Jiang Youzhen felt that five taels of silver was too much.

"Is that too much?"

"Not much, not much!" The old man waved his hand, "It's about the same price in the market. The young master even said thank you for the pheasant."

Jiang Youzhen didn't know how much this raccoon dog could be sold for, but she felt that the Tong family would not give less.

Let’s go to the market tomorrow and ask. We can’t always take advantage of others.

After receiving the silver and leaving Tong's house, she met a carriage coming to Tong's house. She recognized that the carriage belonged to the head of the village.

Sure enough, the head of the village lifted the car curtain and looked at Jiang Youzhen.

"Grandpa Village Head!" Jiang Youzhen saluted quickly.

"Well! Are you going home?" He looked in the direction he came from with some confusion. Isn't this his home?

"I learned a few characters from Brother Huai'an, hoping that I would be able to read and write and find a job in the future."

The head nodded and said, "It's good that you have this intention."

"I'm sorry to bother Brother Huai'an. He's going to take an exam at the beginning of the year."

"He has been preparing for the exam for so many years, so he doesn't mind the effort of a few days. Just come and learn."

The village head didn't care. He thought it was useless to cram at the last minute. It was just right for him to relax for two days, which was a good combination of work and rest.

"By the way, you don't have to worry about the Li family's affairs. I met with Master Li today, explained everything to him, and returned the money your grandfather had collected to him. This matter is over now!"

When Jiang Youzhen heard this, he immediately bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Grandpa Lizheng. Without your help, I would have been sold. I will never forget your kindness!"

Even though Jiang Youzhen came through, he would never let himself be sold out.

But Renli Zheng helped her solve the Li family's troubles and ran around for her, which was already a favor.

"No problem! Since I'm the head of the village, I'll naturally take care of your family's affairs. It's getting late, go home!"

The village head didn't care; he just felt sorry for the child.

But Jiang He was indeed a difficult old man, and most importantly, he was unreasonable. He didn't want to deal with Jiang He again unless it was necessary.

This guy seems to have some dignity, but once you touch his sore spot, he becomes a complete scoundrel.

It was originally agreed that they would collect ten taels of silver, but Jiang He took the three taels and six cents from the second son of the Jiang family, so in the end they could only collect six taels.

Helplessly, for Jiang Youzhen, the village head paid the remaining four taels himself and gave it to Mr. Li.

Jiang Youzhen naturally didn't know about the village head's payment, so she trotted back home.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw that the tiles of the three rooms were all covered. Jiang Youzhen nodded with satisfaction.

The six grown men did not rest after lunch and finished the day's work.

Jiang Youzhen was in a good mood. He no longer had to worry about leaks.

The only flaw is that the wall has simply been re-painted with yellow mud, but at least it's no longer airtight.

The stove was also newly built. While cooking dinner, Shen's face was beaming and she was in a good mood.

Jiang Youzhen was biting into a black-flour steamed bun at the dinner table. Although it had a rough texture and was difficult to swallow, the aroma of natural wheat bran still made his mouth water.

"This is the day I've eaten the most this year." Li Datou touched his belly and said contentedly.

"Isn't it? It's all because of the wealth and status."

Jiang Tie deeply agreed with this. He didn’t expect that after dividing the family wealth, he would be able to live a good life so soon.

Everyone else nodded, especially Jiang Youzhen's family, whose faces were filled with longing for the future.

The three sisters were especially happy. After the separation, they were free from the sea of ​​suffering and had hope for the future.

Jiang Youzhen looked at everyone with a smile, but when he turned his eyes, he met Chunya's shy and timid gaze.

He laughed dryly and turned his head.

No! I'll find a chance to discuss this with Shen. It's better to deal with this matter as soon as possible and don't delay the girl.
