Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 136 Mid-Autumn Festival
The dishes in the evening were really rich, such as chicken stewed with winter mushrooms, braised carp, braised pork, fried fungus, amber peach kernels, fried pork with chili, eggplant with sauce, ribs and beans, the table was full.At this time, the beans and eggplants are the last ones. The frost fell earlier this year, and it fell a few days ago.The Tong family naturally picked some vegetables from the yard in advance and put them in the cellar.

Speaking of the cellar, since Yuan Qingyun mentioned it, the family has been looking for the entrance, and later found the entrance in Dongkuayuan.The cellar is very large, and the inside is very dry. It is surrounded by stones and has vents.Things can be kept inside for a long time.So some vegetables at home are put in the cellar.

Fang Yun also arrived at Tong's house in the afternoon. At this moment, Yun Song, Yuan Qingyun, Fang Yun, Fang Shi and Wu Shi were sitting on the kang.The children were all sitting at the table on the ground, and Fang asked Chun Tao, Chun Mei, and Chun Xing to sit with the children and have a reunion dinner together.There were too many people at this table on the ground, so Yuxian and Haoyu went to eat on the kang later.

Yun Song brought a jar of wine, and the three men started to drink while pushing glasses.Wu Shi and Fang Shi also poured some wine. This wine tastes very good and is also suitable for women.The mother and daughter chatted while drinking, talking about nothing more than children's affairs.When Wu Shi heard that Erlang and Bowen were sent to study in the town, she felt a little distressed. "Go to the town, where all the board and lodging are, and I don't know what the children are like there, can they eat enough? Well, there is really no way, if you want to take the imperial examination, you really can't study at home like this. But It’s really worrying to be in the town.”

"Mother, it's okay. When Erlang came back, I also asked, and he said that the food there was not bad. Besides, I also brought some extra money for them, and went out to buy some food by myself. This is in the town. When my younger brother was studying in Fucheng, I didn't see how worried you were?" Fang comforted her mother.

"What's next-generation relative? That's what I'm talking about. I don't want to kiss the ones I raised." Wu looked at the children on the ground with a kind smile on his face.

The family ate and drank until Xu Shizhong.Originally, I wanted to go to the yard to enjoy the moon, but this year's solar terms are early, and it's already a bit cold outside.So I just set up a table in the yard, put moon cakes and fruits on it, and symbolically rounded up the moon.

The adults drank a little too much, Yuxian took out the pears she bought in the town and put them on the table, everyone took one and gnawed and played there.The pears here are not like those white pears and pears. There is only one kind of pear with green skin. It tastes sweet and sour, but the skin is slightly thick.

Dalang and the others naturally asked Erlang and Bowen about some things in the school, and Erlang told them what he had seen and heard in the school. "In fact, studying in the school is not as good as we are at home. The teachers in the school teach very rigidly. And we have learned everything the teacher said."

"Second brother, you may not be able to see anything now. When it's time for the exam, the master will give you some exam questions for you to practice. Is the master a scholar or a scholar?" Yuxian is more curious about this.

"It's a Juren. I heard that he is sitting in the hall while preparing to participate in the Spring Festival." Bowen said.

"Oh, that should be pretty good, brother, study there with peace of mind. At least he will give you some help during the imperial examination." Yuxian comforted her brother.

"Well, I understand this. I talked to Master about it last night. Master said, let us tell him what we have learned recently every time we come back. If Mr. has a problem, write it down and come back. Let's study it together, even the master has to do it together, I don't believe there are still people who don't understand." Erlang has a hard time studying.

"This is a good idea. In this way, the two of you are studying in school, and we will follow suit at home." Da Lang is very much in favor of this idea.

The children are discussing their homework here, and the adults are naturally talking about buying a mountain.When Wu heard that her daughter's family was going to buy such a large mountain, she asked, "Yunsong, how much do you want to buy such a large mountain? Do you have that much money?"

"Mother, don't worry, the family has the money from selling ginseng before, which should be enough. Now we don't have to pay taxes for buying land, and it's okay to buy more." Fang said a few words in Wu Si's ear , an expression of disbelief appeared on Wu's face.

"It's great, your life is finally getting better, well, mother is really happy for you." Wu Shi said, tears were about to fall.

"Mother, this is a good thing. Look at you, you should be happy." There were also tears in Fang Fang's eyes.

"Yes, yes, you should be happy, happy." Wu wiped away her tears and smiled. "Look at me, crying and laughing, making the children laugh."

"What's the matter, mother is also worried about our poor life. Mother, don't worry, Yuxian also got a lot of toads, what kind of snow toad oil do you want to pick up. I heard that brother Yun said that it is very valuable, so even if the money bought mountains , not afraid." Fang was afraid that her mother would worry.

"That's good. This mountain is too big. It needs to be managed well after buying it. If possible, it's best to buy a few houses and let people come back and let them live on the outskirts of the mountain, so that the mountain can be well protected. It's hard to guarantee There is no such thing as someone who is jealous, and I am afraid that they will do something secretly." After all, Wu is older and has more experience, so what he said hits the point.

"Mother is right. I haven't thought about it yet. That's right, our family hunted a tiger, and people came to blackmail us. If we bought such a large mountain, I dare not say that no one would be jealous. This I'll talk to Yun Song about it, and I really have to be on guard." Wu Shi's words woke Fang Shi up. "Or people say that ginger is old and spicy. I really didn't expect this."

The family was talking and laughing, the time passed very quickly, and it will be the middle of Haishi in a while.Everyone was sleepy, so they went back to their rooms and went to sleep.Fang Yun and Yuan Qingyun lived together, and Wu and Yuxian lived in the same house. After a while, the whole house became quiet.

On the morning of August [-], before Si time, I heard the sound of carriages and horses outside the door.Yuxian ran out to see that it was Boss Yue who came with several carriages. "Uncle Yue, why are you here in person?"

"Let me take a look at your house. It really is a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and rivers. It's no wonder that such a quirky little girl like you is raised here. Girl, lead me to the bar." Boss Yue saw Yuxian , with a smile on his face and eyes.

"Uncle Yue, please come with me." Yu Xian led the way, Boss Yue and a few guys followed, all the way to the back yard.

Boss Yue observed Tong's house while walking, and couldn't help nodding secretly. This house is rare even in the town.It seems that Tong's family has a good foundation, and a few children are even rarer. This kind of family is worth getting along with.

"Uncle Yue, the ninety jars of fruit wine you want are all in this room. We re-inspected them yesterday, and we asked Uncle Yue to inspect the goods." Yu Xian led them to the room where the wine was stored.

Today Yun Song has gone to the village head and others to measure the forest, so he is not at home.After hearing Xin'er, Fang Shi also came to the backyard, and Wu Shi and Fang Yun also followed.

"Brother Fang is here too?" Boss Yue asked when he saw Fang Yun when he turned his head.

"I spent the festival at my sister's house yesterday, and I haven't gone back today. I will go back with my elder brother in a while." Fang Yun said with a smile.

"My brother is still blessed. With such a good apprentice, I didn't leave a bar for you this year?" Boss Yue's tone was sour.

"Hahaha, brother, what's the matter with you, do you envy me? You're not bad, you have several caring daughters, none of them are worse than Yuxian, brother, isn't he satisfied?" laughed.

"Okay, I won't talk to you, girl Yuxian, I'll just move the wine away. I trust you, so I won't inspect it. You have so many houses in the backyard, what are you putting? I'm watching Why does it seem to be wine?" Boss Yue waved his hand, and the guys behind came in directly to carry the wine jars.

"Uncle Yue, it's true that the wines in those houses are also stored, but they are not ready yet. Those are made from mountain grapes, and the time has not come yet." Yuxian didn't hide it.

"Oh? So there's another kind. When it's brewed, sell it to me." Boss Yue immediately ordered the next batch. "My family has a grocery store in the town, and my wife's natal family has several restaurants and shops in the county town. There is simply not enough wine to sell. When the time comes, I will definitely give you a good price."

"Uncle Yue is willing to ask for it. That's great. I'm still worried about what to do. Thank you, Uncle." Yuxian was overjoyed, and now she doesn't have to worry.

The guys moved all the wine out, and the three carriages outside were all full.Between the jars, Yuxian found some straw to plug them up, and then blocked them with ropes, so that the jars would not be broken on the way.Boss Yue gave the silver to Yuxian. A jar of wine is two taels of silver, and ninety jars is exactly 180 taels.After the money was paid, Boss Yue got into the carriage and looked back at Fang Yun, "Brother, let's go."

Fang Yun also flew on the horse, and said to Yuxian, "Yuxian, I won't be leaving anytime soon, you can go to the town when you have time." Then he shook the reins, and the horse started to run quickly.

Yuxian waved her hand until Fang Yun was out of sight, then turned and entered the courtyard. 180 taels of silver were placed in front of Fang. "Mother, put away your money, our family has a lot of places to spend money recently."

"Yuxian, you just need to keep this money. It is your ability to earn this money. There is still money in the family, which is enough." Fang gave the money to Yuxian. "As you get older, you often go to the town. When it's time to buy things, don't be lazy. Studying medicine is not an easy task, and some things have to be bought. You can't always ask your master to prepare for you. "

"Mom, I'm still young, so I don't need so much money, you just leave me ten taels. Besides, the third brother said that I can't keep money in my hand, and I can spend as much as I have. Hehe, it's safer to leave it with mother." Yuxian made a mischievous face, and then ran out.

　It was delivered in the middle of the night. Today is a women's day. I wish you all a happy holiday.
