Chapter 83

After simply having breakfast, Wang Zhanjun was ready to go out for a walk and find a reason to take out part of the money.

"Uncle Fu, I'm going out to meet my friends and ask about studying in the academy." Wang Zhanjun said to Uncle Fu who was working on the side.

"Master, I still have some money here, you can take it." Fu Bo stopped Wang Zhanjun who was about to leave, and handed the few remaining copper coins to his hand.

Wang Zhanjun thought that he didn't need it anyway, and it would be okay to give it to Uncle Fu when he came back, so he took it directly, turned around and went out.

In ancient times, the most well-informed place was the brothel and tavern. With his status, there is no need to think about the brothel. The tavern is not in time now, so the only thing to do is to go to the teahouse to listen.

Wearing the scholar's uniform of this era, Wang Zhanjun came to the teahouse, which was quite eye-catching.However, there was no other way to do it, and there was no other clothes for him to wear at home.Fortunately, not too many people pay attention to him. Scholars can't afford to eat a lot, so it's not surprising to go to teahouses where ordinary people gather to drink tea.

"Brother Zhang, I heard that you went to Jinling recently, how does it compare to Yangzhou, please tell me." At a table not far from Wang Zhanjun, three people were chatting together.

Brother Zhang looked at his two friends proudly and said, "This Jinling is not far from our Yangzhou, so there is no difference. However, I heard a strange thing in Jinling."

The person who spoke at the beginning cleverly poured a cup of tea for Brother Zhang, and Brother Zhang took a sip from the teacup before saying, "When it comes to Jinling, the Xue family is the most lively. The current head of the Xue family is nicknamed Dumb King." , beat someone to death in public for a woman."

Another said: "Brother Zhang, it's not unusual for the children of this family to kill someone. When did they treat us commoners as human beings? Anyway, their family is powerful and powerful, and at most they can pay a little money, and the matter will be over." Well, there's nothing unusual about that."

The person surnamed Zhang said anxiously: "Brother Li, don't worry, if it's not interesting, I wouldn't tell you. It's not unusual for the dumb king of the Xue family to kill people, but what is strange is that he was arrested by the magistrate." Get up and be sentenced to death."

Brother Li asked in surprise: "This magistrate is really powerful. I have heard of an official talisman in Jinling. Jia is not fake, white jade is made for Tang Jin; A Fang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a Jinling history; There is a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King invites the King of Jinling; there is a lot of snow in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron. In this good year, there is a lot of snow, and it is the Xue family of Jinling. Some people dare to offend them. What is the background of this magistrate, dare to offend these four families."

Brother Zhang thought for a while and said, "I don't know what the background of this magistrate is. He arrested the dumb king and sentenced him to death. From the mouth of the immortal, it was said that the deceased Feng Yuan and the Overlord Dumb met each other in a bad way, and now that they have met on a narrow road, it should be over. The Overlord Dumb has already suffered from an unknown disease, and was pursued by Feng Yuan's ghost and died."

Another Brother Zhao said: "Since the Dumb King is dead, then the case is already understood, and there is nothing unusual about it."

Brother Zhang said: "Do you think that overlord is really dead? No, someone saw the Xue family leaving Jinling with their property, and saw Xue Pan alive."

Brother Li and Brother Zhao were dumbfounded, they thought the magistrate was a good official, but unexpectedly he was also a corrupt official with a high status.

"No, brother Zhang, if the magistrate is protecting Xue Pan, he can just find a servant to take the blame. How could he sentence Xue Pan to death? Isn't it superfluous."

Brother Zhang said: "The Xue family has moved away, who knows whether Xue Pan is dead or not. I only found out that Dubawang is not dead when I followed our boss to unload the goods at the dock. None of us ordinary people Ability to discover that the Overlord is not dead, right?"

When Wang Zhanjun heard this, he was sure that he had come to the world of Dream of Red Mansions.This period was the time when Xue's family came to Beijing, so Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt in Yangzhou, must have died for a few days.

Interesting, what is the purpose of Elder Shi bringing him here, or is he just passing through this world.

Wang Zhanjun got the news he wanted, so he didn't stay out for too long, admiring the scenery of Yangzhou streets, and walked home slowly.

"Uncle Fu, this is the 100 taels of silver I borrowed from a friend. You can use it first." Wang Zhanjun returned home and gave the money to Uncle Fu.

Now, the annual expenditure of ordinary people is only 20 taels of silver, and this 100 taels is enough for them to live a good life for a period of time.Wang Zhanjun didn't think about giving more, mainly because it was difficult to explain.

"Master, where did this money come from?" Uncle Fu took the money and asked suspiciously.

"Fu Bo, I borrowed money from my classmate. I promised him to help him in the academy. You can use it with confidence, buy some food, and improve your family's life. You and Aunt Fu should not be frugal." I am a talented person now, and it is quite easy to find a way to make some money." Wang Zhanjun explained to Fu Bo according to his usual habits.

Uncle Fu was quite moved when he saw his uncle's appearance.He has been in the Wang family all his life, and he has long regarded this place as his own home.But he is just a servant, unable to make money outside, so he can only find ways to maintain the life at home.Now my uncle's ability is much better than that of the old man, and there will be a lot of expectations for the life of the family in the future.

"Master, don't worry, with this money, life at home will be much easier. Just study hard and leave the family affairs to me."

"Uncle Fu, don't ask Aunt Fu to help others starch and wash clothes anymore. The family is rich now, so they don't need to work so hard." Wang Zhanjun persuaded Uncle Fu.

"But, sir, the money should be returned to others. The family doesn't have much income, and they can't sit and eat. My wife usually has nothing else to do. She washes clothes for others, and can earn some money to supplement the family." Uncle Fu said somewhat I don't want to, but I still insist on it.

What Uncle Fu said made sense, Wang Zhanjun couldn't always use this reason to take out the money, he had to think of a way to get the money.As a time traveler, it is not difficult to make money, but his current social status is not high, and those businesses that make a lot of money cannot be used.

Wang Zhanjun thought for a while and said: "Uncle Fu, I have a few recipes for making dim sum here. You and Aunt Fu will try according to the recipes. If they are delicious, let's find a shop to sell dim sum. It's better than that." Aunt Fu makes a lot of money washing clothes."

Wang Zhanjun went back to the house, wrote out the recipe for dim sum, and handed it to Uncle Fu.There are many salt merchants in Yangzhou, and the lives of the people are better. The dim sum recipes that Wang Zhanjun brought out are relatively common, and they are all things that do not exist in this world.I believe that with the novelty snacks, there is no big problem in maintaining life at home.

Wang Zhanjun doesn't plan to show those good ways to make money now, because that would be too attention-grabbing.It would be bad luck if you accidentally get involved in the battle for the throne.
