Chapter 39 Make Money
Xiaoxun never kept any money with him, but old man Cen would still give him forty cash every month, and every time he got the money, he would give it to Xiaoruo.
He doesn't have any expenses on weekdays. If he goes shopping for vegetables, he will take a dozen or so coins from the drawer in the front hall, and throw any remaining money back into the drawer after shopping.
As a result, he doesn't have a good grasp of the family's financial situation. Looking at Xiaoruo's reluctance to pick up money, he can't help guessing that the family is actually short of money?
"Huh? Why do you think so?" Xiao Ruo stared at Xiao Xun with wide-eyed eyes.
Although she is not considered a wealthy family, at least the family is not short of food and drink. Why does the puppy feel that the family is poor?Could it be that she is usually too stingy?
Xiaoxun didn't answer, just stared at Xiaoruo.The slightly raised eye ends made him look particularly focused and deep when he continued to stare at people.
Being stared at like this, Xiao Ruo felt a trace of guilt for no reason.
Is it because I didn't give the puppy enough sense of security?Otherwise, take him to make two suitable clothes tomorrow, and prove that the family is definitely not so poor that they lack money.
"All right, all right, don't worry, our family can be considered well-to-do, the puppy shouldn't worry about these things!" Xiaoruo stood on tiptoe, and patted Xiaoxun's head habitually, trying to give Xiaoxun some comfort. The dog comforts.
Xiao Xun didn't understand what a well-off level was, so Xiao Xun didn't ask, but just squeezed the small cloth bag in his hand tightly.
Looking at the starry sky outside the window that night, Xiao Xun couldn't sleep all night, Xiao Ruo's bright smile kept appearing in his mind, and Xiao Niao Xiao Zhao's milky voice calling "Brother A Xun".
After thinking about it all night, he decided that as Xiaoruo's man, he should take on the responsibilities of a man. He must work hard to make money so that all the siblings of the Xiao family can live a life without worrying about money, even if the title of "Xiaoruo's man" Just a stopgap from before.
Early the next morning Xiaoxun took his small cloth bag and walked to the Sanli Pavilion outside Shangxi Town.
Sure enough, there were four carriages parked outside the Sanli Pavilion.Boxes of goods were piled up in an orderly manner on the carriage, and a golden Spike flag was stuck on the tail. On the black flag was a huge word "Shun Ji", and the flag fluttered in the wind, which was very majestic.
Jiang Ping and others were sitting around the escort car, when he saw Xiao Xun appearing, he immediately got up and clasped his fists, he laughed loudly and said, "Brother Xiao Xun really keeps his word, I saw the right person!"
Xiao Xun imitated him and clasped his fists, handing over the cloth bag: "Here is one tael, nine strings and eighty coins, you order it."
Jiang Ping exchanged fists and pushed back the cloth bag together with Xiaoxun's hands. He said again and again: "Although I, Jiang Ping, am not a big shot, I always spit on nails. Everything I say is not counted. The money I give There is no reason to take it back."
Before Xiaoxun could say anything more, Jiang Ping lowered his voice and continued, "To be honest, I didn't give the money for free. I just want to discuss something with you, brother Xiaoxun."
Xiaoxun raised his eyebrows. It is impossible for him to accept money for no reason, but if someone asks him for money for work, then it is not impossible to accept it... He just decided last night that he wants to earn money to support his family.
Looking at his expression, Jiang Ping knew that what he wanted to do might have something to do with it.
"Come on, brother Xiaoxun rushed over early in the morning, didn't you eat in the morning? We brothers are eating, if you don't mind, just give me a bite!" Jiang Ping patted Xiaoxun's shoulder and pushed halfway Half pulled him to sit in the crowd.
After handing over a steamed bun with meat in it, Jiang Ping said what he had been thinking about since yesterday.
"I think brother Xiao is so good at it, it's a pity not to use it!" He also picked up the steamed bun and said while chewing. "If Brother Xiao thinks it's okay, why not walk darts with us!"
"Absconding?" Xiao Xun had only heard of the business of being an escort, but he didn't know what he did specifically.
"That's right, we're going to the south of Yunnan on this trip, and Shangxi Town is just a place where we stopped and rested halfway."
"Do you get paid for walking the darts?"
"Yes, why not! Our bodyguards calculate the cost of the bodyguards according to the length of the route and the value of the goods. If the bodyguards of this trip are delivered safely, everyone can at least share this amount!" Jiang Ping stretched out five fingers in front of him. Gestures in front of him.
"Five taels of silver?" Xiao Xun's heart moved, five taels of silver can take care of Xiao Zhao's half-year training.
"50 taels!" Jiang Ping slapped him on the back, and said with a laugh: "This is a conservative estimate, if the boss who entrusted the darts is in a good mood and gives a bounty, it is not impossible for each person to share 80 taels! "
50 taels!Xiaoxun's pupils shrank a little, this is not a small amount, if there are 50 taels, Ruo Ruo doesn't have to worry so much, right?
"Then, if I guard this dart with you, how many days will it take?"
"It's only about ten days' journey from Shangxi Town to the destination in southern Yunnan. It's about a month if you go back and forth once."
Xiao Xun lowered his head in thought, thinking about it in his heart.
One month is not too long, and you can earn 50 taels a month, which is a good deal.
So he nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ping was very worried about this escort. According to the past practice, four escort cars should send eight escorts, but it happened that the escort had just received a big business, and most of the escorts were sent to escort the goods up.
The owner of the bodyguard on this trip to the west of Yunnan was related to the head of the bodyguard agency, so he insisted on naming the Shunji bodyguard bureau to protect the bodyguard. Six people came out.
Six people escorted four escort vehicles, and there were many strange incidents in western Yunnan, so he was very apprehensive along the way, fearing that if something happened, there would not be enough manpower to deal with it.When I saw Xiaoxun's agility and quick reflexes on the street yesterday, I knew he was definitely a good helper.Afterwards, he tried again with money, and Xiao Xun was not only not greedy, but also kept the agreement. If such a person could go with him, the safety of this dart trip would be greatly improved.
"Okay, I don't know how many people are in Brother Xiaoxun's family? Do you need to tell the elders in the family?" The escort went on a trip for a month, and if he didn't inform his family in advance, he was afraid that he would be mistaken for human trafficking, and it would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.
"Well, I need to tell my family." Xiao Xun nodded, he really wanted to tell Xiao Ruo and old man Cen about this.
"We have to rest here for another day to replenish drinking water and supplies. Brother Xiaoxun, you can go and tell your family that we will start tomorrow." Jiang Ping cheered up, took out the water bag and handed it to Xiaoxun, saying: "I know brother you If you don’t drink alcohol, replace wine with water and let’s have a drink! From today on, I, Jiang Ping, will be your brother who shares weal and woe!”
After taking the water bag and taking a sip, Xiao Xun waved his mouth and cupped his fists to say goodbye.
"Hey, by the way, how old are you, so I can add it to the pass for you." The pass is a necessary document for them to travel north and south, and they can pass through the counties, towns and states smoothly only after they are registered on the pass.
Xiao Xun thought for a while and said, "Sixteen years old."
He didn't know how old he was. Xiaoruo mentioned that he thought he was only twelve or thirteen years old when he was picked up, but he has grown a lot since then, and he is no longer like a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. 16 years old and no one will doubt it.
What he said shocked the Shunji Escorts to stay on the spot. Seeing that they hadn't spoken, Xiaoxun clasped his fists together and turned around to go home. He was going to tell Xiaoruo about his going to the Escorts.
After a while, Ma Laosan swallowed the steamed bun that was stuck in his neck, and stammered to Jiang Ping, "Here, this kid is only 16 years old..."
Jiang Ping was also taken aback. He thought that Xiao Xun was such a good player, but he had been practicing for more than ten years. At first, he only thought of him as tender, but he was really just a young boy.
"Sixteen can also come out to make money... His parents and seniors should not object..." Jiang Ping could only comfort himself in this way, silently worshiping Master Guan, this helper he found so hard, don't be obscene. .
The puppy is determined to make money to support his family, but how to make money?
Why don't you let the puppy show you jumping through hoops!
