Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 12 Going to the Town

Returning to the south room of the east wing and bolting the door, Gu Wenxuan moved the wooden box against the wall, took out the money bag stuffed into the crack in the wall, and pushed the wooden box back to its original position.

Pour out the broken silver in the money bag, there are almost 15 taels.Being able to save 15 taels of silver under the eyes of a large family, Rokuro is not an ordinary smart and capable person.

He has a private business of selling furs. At this time of year every year before winter, he would go to Fucheng to sell furs while he was working part-time.

He followed his father's example. In the past two years, every time when the prefectural examination was about to begin, he would go to Fucheng to sell small wooden sticks and other items to the candidates, and then buy the candidates' old items and sort them out for sale.

For example, the candidates who came from a well-off family and stayed in an inn in advance to prepare for the exam always had sundries that they didn't take with them. Even the servant was too lazy to help the master go to the pawn shop to exchange money, so he was targeted.

In this way, he quietly saved 15 taels in two years. Even his parents who helped hide it only knew that he had saved private money, and they must not have known that the amount was so astonishing.

The money matter has been solved for the time being.At present, whether his parents accept the ten taels of silver or not, it should not affect his plan to marry Banxia as soon as possible.

But I'm really not used to eating.It is impossible to separate our homes for the time being, and when it snows, there will be fewer opportunities to go out.He could bear it, but he couldn't let his wife suffer the same.

It is better to take advantage of this time to tidy up the new house and set up an earthen stove next to the wall in front of the kang.When water can be boiled in the house, is it still far from the day when we can turn on a small stove?

"Would you like to go together?" When Gu Erzhu came in, he saw his old son moving the cabinet, "Don't be busy now, we will get started quickly in the next two days."

"No, I don't have to worry about you and my mother doing things. Dad, I want to set up an earthen stove. It's cold and it's inconvenient to go to the stove to boil water. I'll change it this time."

"There are clay bricks at home. Don't be busy now. In two days, we will also plate your brother's house. When the plate is ready, it will be difficult for your grandparents to unpack the things in my granddaughter-in-law's house."

Cut first and then play?

Gu Erzhu patted his old son on the shoulder and said, "Don't show off the skills you learned right now. When you get married, if you don't learn the same skills, you won't be laughed at."

If you still have money (money) saved, if you talk about your wife’s dowry later, Zhou Laosi won’t expose it.We’ll talk about this later. Let’s go to town with dad to eat something good first. "

A good father is better than a thousand troops.No matter how calm and self-possessed Gu Wenxuan was, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He decisively obeyed the advice and got on the bullock cart to go to the town to open a small stove.

wrong.

is purchasing.

I am also taking my little sister home.

The words "open a small stove" are the most unpalatable to his grandma.What his father himself said at this moment - he felt sorry for his mother before he got married, and came back with meat buns in his hands?
Got beaten!
It's okay to beat him, but how can his own mother beat her son to death?From then on, my mother no longer believed that his most filial son had no secrets.

Then he did what my mother wished - he hid his personal money.Suddenly one day I discovered that, good guy, he was not the only one hiding it, his own mother was hiding it too!
The oxcart drove all the way to the town, with constant laughter.The Eight Mile Road is either far or close. In less than half an hour, you can see a wide street.

This is also the main road in the town. People from all over the country come to go to the market on this street.Today is not a market day, but there are still many people in the town.

Gu Erlang was dropped off in front of Huimin Medical Center, leaving even the bullock cart behind.Gu Wenxuan followed his parents behind him, comparing his memories and silently observing his surroundings.

Near noon, I went back to the hospital to put down the things I bought in the morning.Under the guidance of Gu Erlang, we went to a noodle stall and ordered four bowls of noodle soup and meat buns.

Three Wen soup noodles cost 32 Wen, and twenty meat buns cost [-] Wen. The total cost was [-] Wen. Gu Wenxuan did not overtake Gu Erlang who paid the bill with copper coins.

A catty of pork costs 32 cents, and [-] cents can buy more than a catty and a half.The mother-in-law Mrs. Liu turned her head away from looking at her, fearing that she would wish the old man to separate the family tonight.

After eating, this time it was Gu Erzhu who drove the cattle cart to the last destination of the day - the house of the eldest aunt of the Gu family who had Bao Ya as a guest.

The eldest aunt Gu Chunling and Gu Erzhu are twins, and they have the best relationship among the brothers and sisters.Husband's Hu family was originally a butcher in a neighboring village, but now runs a butcher shop in the town.Fresh pork, mutton, chicken, duck and goose are sold on weekdays, and beef and game are also sold from time to time.

The bullock cart had just stopped at the side door of the backyard, and a young man came out quickly. He quickly turned around and shouted inside, "Second uncle and second aunt are here, mother, come out quickly."

"Second brother and sister, what brought you here today?" Gu Chunling wiped her hands on the bib around her waist and ran out, "Come in quickly, my hands are too dirty to drag you in."

Mrs. Liu quickly grabbed her sister-in-law's hands and said, "Sister, our sixth son will be hiring tomorrow, and the girl is the child we mentioned before."

"Oh, what a happy event!" Aunt Gu grabbed the second younger brother and sister and walked in. "I was thinking last night that there was no movement, so I would go back tomorrow."

Gu Erzhu quickly stopped him, "Don't go in now. I still need some things and have to rush to the county town. I need them tomorrow..."

"You can go alone." Aunt Gu interrupted quickly, "Now that you are older, you still need your wife to accompany you. I have something to discuss with my second brother and sister, and you can go and do your own thing."

Otherwise, they are twins!Gu Erzhu didn't expect that the excuse he made would be defeated by the eldest sister's excuse, but who was he?

"Father, mother, second brother, you are here to pick me up. You can't live without me at home." Gu Wenxuan was thinking about who would win and who would lose, when he saw a man with two buns on his head jumping out of the side door. , a little girl wearing a coat and skirt.

Quirky, this is my little sister Bao Ya.He is seven years old this year, the baby of their second wife, and he is not as smart as ice and snow.

When she was less than five years old, Gu Dalang felt that the children at home were noisy and he couldn't calm down to endorse it. She silently walked back to the room with her little fat legs to show him.

At that time, not only did he imitate his cousin's embarrassment, but he also clasped his little chubby hands behind his back, shook his head, and recited a long paragraph clearly, much to his amusement.

Afterward, she said sadly that she remembered everything they said to her.My cousin is so stupid that he can't endorse it every day, so he will definitely not be a scholar.

"It's not for you. I can't be filial to my parents. How dare you not help me take it back? Believe it or not, our mother happened to save Bao Ya a meal tonight!"

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing when he saw that his father's weakness was suddenly pinched.His parents are really good people, they have a good relationship, and they treat their three children with great care.

"Second brother, are you looking for my second sister-in-law?" Gu Baoya saw that he had left the town and no one was around. He sat on his mother's lap and swayed his feet happily.

"Yes."

"Is she Brother Xiaohe's third sister?"

"Yes. Do you know him?"

"On the day she came home, many people came to see her, and my mother took me with her. Brother Xiaohe said that his third sister had grown old well, and she even asked him to go to school."

"That's it." The candidate for the little messenger has been found! "Baoya, do you think that if my second brother starts endorsing seriously, does he hope to come back as a scholar?"

Gu Baoya's eyes widened in shock, he blinked his big eyes, tilted his head, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Didn't you say that if you want to take the exam for merit, someone will die first?"

Gu Wenxuan glanced at Gu Baoya who was sitting behind him in a funny way, "So the second brother is also worried. Unlike the eldest brother, the second brother can be a doctor in the future to support the family."

Gu Erzhu and Mrs. Liu listened happily to the conversation between their brothers and sisters, but did not interfere.As for whether the son has really changed his mind and wants to take the exam for fame?
"Do you have silver?"

You’re right to ask!
Gu Erzhu and Liu laughed.

Heartbroken!
The bullock cart is about to enter the village, but there are people walking around the village entrance today.Gu Erzhu asked his son to stop first and let him drive the car. He was worried that the child would not understand, so he pointed out the reason.

Overall, he is not the only smart person in the village.This time, his Liulang snatched three girls from the Zhou family and made many people jealous. It would be better to say less.

When his family Liulang was asked to drive the car, those men and women stopped him and started talking nonsense. Even a junior could not help but stop.Looking at the things on the car, there were even more people saying strange things.

Even though clan members can fight together against outsiders, there are always people who don't know whose family is better off than their own, and it's not uncommon for brothers to fight.

If it were him who drove the car, he, Gu Lao Er, would be so thick-skinned that his mother would not be afraid, and he would still be able to suffer the consequences! "Hahaha, yes, yes, I found a treasure. Uncle, my nephew won't chat with you for now. Let's have a wedding banquet later. Everyone is here, and I won't go to every house to invite you."

Mrs. Gu heard the shouts of her lousy son from a long way away. It was so exciting that the thieves and thieves had once again spent all the money they had given her in the morning.

Loser stuff!
"Mom, we're back!"

Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes at her son and reached out to catch her granddaughter who was being carried off the cart and rushing toward her, "Did your aunt ask you to tell me anything?"

Bao Ya nodded her little head hurriedly: "Yes! My eldest uncle is busy, and my aunt asked when the pigs at home are going to be killed, and asked you to give her a message three to five days in advance."

Mrs. Gu silently tapped the little girl's forehead with her finger: "It's just you, I'm here to interrogate your parents!" "My little face is so round!"

Bao Ya smiled and waited for Mrs. Gu to let go of her and go to the front of the bullock cart. She quickly ran to pick up her small package and went to find her eldest nephew Changsuo.

Don’t listen to what happens next, grandma is still a kind and good old lady!
"What else is there?" Mrs. Gu glanced at the large and small bags on the oxcart, and stretched out her hand in front of the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, "Bring it out to me quickly!"

With a "pop", Gu Erzhu slapped his forehead with one hand and neatly handed the thing he was carrying in his other hand to Mr. Liu, "I almost forgot to report the number to you."

"You must be honest!" There was nothing we could do. This family was too difficult to manage. The second daughter-in-law, who had just been hiding in the house to make money for herself, heard the noise and ran faster than a rabbit.

Each of these bad things is stupider than a pig.Rokuro will be hired tomorrow, and the second brother is not a pig, so he will compete for small profits at this juncture?
This thief's son is also a bad thing. He knows clearly what his elder sister-in-law and his third sister-in-law mean, but he deliberately takes out one coin after another from his money bag!
"That's all." Gu Erzhu shook the empty money bag and patted his body with both hands to show that he didn't hide any coins. "Even my wife put some money in it this time, but I and I are happy. Wait until Liu Lang gets married. , I don’t have to worry about my family not having enough money to find a wife for my children~”

Worried Gu Tian and Gu Wang: "..."
