The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 61

Chapter 61 silver in hand
"Then you wait here, I'll come as soon as I go. Oh! By the way, do you want a bank note for the 500 taels?" Shopkeeper Liu said, putting the ginseng in his arms, and just walked a few steps. I went back to ask again.

"Then shopkeeper Liu, please get us 450 taels of silver bills and 50 taels of silver ingots." Gu Chengyu heard that there were silver bills, so of course he needed a silver bill, and it was very inconvenient to carry the silver with him.

"Alright, I'll let someone come in and weigh the honeysuckle." After speaking, he went to the outer room, but Gu Chengyu and the others could still hear his voice when he asked someone to come in and weigh the honeysuckle in the inner room.

Gu Chengyu reckoned that he went to get the banknotes and money, after all, who would carry so much money with him?

After a while, two people came in, and one of them was actually Dongzi.Dongzi followed another apprentice into the inner room, still feeling a little excited. There are several rooms here, all of which are resting places for the shopkeeper and Master Zhang. It is impossible for fellows like them to get in. The apprentice came in, they only had to stay outside, but they didn't expect to let him in today.As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiaobao and the three sitting there, and I was a little puzzled. It was just selling honeysuckle, and the two sacks added up to tens of catties, right?Why haven't you left yet?Could it be something else?
"Brother Dongzi, why are you here?" Gu Chengyu greeted Dongzi first when he saw Dongzi.

"It's Xiaobao? Why aren't you alright? Where's the shopkeeper?" Dongzi was also very happy to see the three members of the Gu family.

"The shopkeeper has something to do. Aren't we here to send a few words to the shopkeeper? We're going back now, and we'll leave after taking the honeysuckle money." As for ginseng, of course we can't talk about it. The wealth is not in vain. !

"Father, thanks to brother Dongzi for being outside just now! We also want to thank him."

"Oh! Why didn't you say it sooner? Little brother, I really want to thank you today. You have run for us several times!" Old man Gu looked at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in front of him. On the contrary, he looks simple and honest, and looks quite energetic.Nodded, also a simple child.

"Uncle, why are you being polite? I can't help you. You sit down, I'll go out first, and I won't stay here for long. Xiaobao, see you later." After finishing speaking, Dongzi and another The apprentice went out with two sacks on his shoulders.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and before shopkeeper Liu came, he ran to his father and said a few words in his ear. "Really, don't lie to your father, this is not a small sum." Father Gu looked at Gu Chengyu suspiciously.

"Oh! Dad, don't worry! Can I still lie to you?" What Gu Chengyu actually said in his father's ear was to ask his father to temporarily put the bank notes and money with him. He has space, Putting it in the space is safer than anywhere else, and I am not afraid of someone taking it by the hand.It's just that, of course, he won't talk about the space, he just said that he put it with the person in his dream, and he can take it back anytime he wants, without saying hello.Papa Gu has long believed that the person in the dream is a fairy, so what's so unsafe about putting it there?I am afraid that the gods will not look down on your little money!It's just so much money, I'm a little reluctant, and I'm afraid that Gu Chengyu will lie, after all, Xiaobao is still a baby!

"Okay, then don't disappear, or your mother will be hard to explain, and there is so much money, we will be heartbroken if it is gone." After all, Father Gu was a little worried, and he had to ask, in fact, He is also afraid of being unsafe if he puts it on his body.

Gu Chengli who was at the side had already come to his senses at this moment, seeing the two talking, he hesitated to speak.After thinking about it, I still couldn't help asking. "Father, Xiaobao, when did you dig this ginseng? Why don't we know? Can it really be sold for 500 taels of silver? Also, Xiaobao really wants to study?"

"Your mother and I didn't tell you about this ginseng. I was afraid that you would tell the village that you had missed it, so I wanted to wait until it was sold before telling you. This ginseng was dug on the mountain by Xiaobao! Otherwise , your father and I have lived for most of our lives, and we can’t even touch the roots. As for Xiaobao’s study, I have discussed with your mother before, and I have decided to let Xiaobao study. Now, Xiaobao dug I have sold the ginseng, so I have the money for my studies, right? I don’t need your money anymore. Although the money belongs to the public, the expenses for your brother’s study should also be paid by the public, right? But don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly in the future That's it for you, our family will get better and better in the future, and when Xiaobao is confessed, you can also be a master. Well, shopkeeper Liu is coming soon, so we can talk about anything when we go back." Father Gu I'm also working hard to make a big deal for Gu Chengli, as long as I can talk about the boss, then there will be one less person who opposes it when I go back, but the second child is a bit tricky.It's good that the second child agrees, but if he doesn't agree, he can only go that way.Old man Gu narrowed his eyes, stroked the corner of his clothes, and made up his mind.

As soon as we talked about people, people came, and I saw shopkeeper Liu holding a small bag in his hand. Gu Chengyu guessed that there must be silver in it, ten taels of silver ingots, if five, the size of the bag should be about the same.

"Brother Gu, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I happened to have something to do just now, so I was delayed for a while. Here are 450 taels of silver ingots. In this small package are four ten taels of silver ingots. The other ten taels were exchanged for Loose silver, the three taels of silver and the seven hundred cash that Lonicera sold are all here, please count and count." Shopkeeper Liu took out five silver bills from his pocket and put them on the table, and spread out the small bundle, revealing Silver and copper coins inside.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the silver, saw that the amount should be correct, picked up the bank note in his hand, pretended to hold it upside down, and looked at it carefully, it was very similar to the one he saw on TV in his previous life, with the ticket number on it , the face value is also worthy, it should be true, such a big medical clinic, the 500 taels of silver should be nothing to them, and there is no need to fake it.

Just when Gu Chengyu put down the banknote in his hand, there was a chuckle beside him, "Huh? Are you a little kid who can still read? You got it upside down! Hurry up and read! You will know each other after reading the book." Shopkeeper Liu looked at the kid. He clearly took the bank note upside down and looked at it seriously, which he found very interesting.

Gu Chengyu feigned embarrassment and touched his head, "Shopkeeper Liu, stop making fun of me, I just want to see what the bank notes look like."

"Why is this called Shopkeeper Liu? Call him Uncle Liu!"

Gu Chengyu raised his head and saw that shopkeeper Liu's eyes were benevolent, which didn't seem like polite words, so he also called out "Uncle Liu."

"Hey! If you come to the county in the future, come to me." Shopkeeper Liu still admires Gu Chengyu, a farm boy, and hopes that he can go further on the road of studying for the imperial examination in the future.
