Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 11



Listening to his sister's words, Tian Ding couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, but he quickly calmed down.The only solution now is to make money quickly and find a good doctor to treat my mother. "Sister, here are ten coins for you." Tian Ding put the ten big coins into his sister's hands, "Don't think it's too little, living in the village, ten coins can buy a lot of things."

Wang Xiuyun nodded and put away the ten coins.

"I asked my grandpa to ask for five chickens and five ducks. When the house is repaired, I will raise them in the yard. I will ask my sister to take care of them." Tian Ding is not going to urge his sister to embroider things every day. For a lady with bad eyesight and sister who doesn't touch the spring water, there are too few things she can do. She can't cook, wash clothes, and sweep dust. Tianding can only find some simple things for her sister to do.Thinking about the clothes they changed, which were still piled up in the house, Tian Ding felt his head was heavy.

When he couldn't sleep at night, Tian Ding thought of many ways to make money, ranging from small snacks to large royal tributes, etc., but he had to go to the town to find out the specifics.The only good thing is that he doesn't have to worry about affecting his eldest brother's imperial examination path because of the merchant.In Liang State, all classes were allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and the status of merchants was much higher than that of the lowest class of peasants, so there was a boom in business.It can be said that Liang Guo's economy is developing very well.

Tian Ding held his head thinking about going to the town one day, Wang Xiuyun was worried about what to do for his family at night, Wang Xiubo looked up at the sky, thinking about how to make his family live well.The three sat in the courtyard with their own thoughts.Mr. Wang in the room accompanied his wife to reminisce about the old days. Mr. Wang was talking, Mrs. Wang just listened quietly.Master Wang still couldn't let go of the days when he was an official, the sense of accomplishment of being superior to others, and the unwillingness to be dismissed from office by Emperor Zhou Li.Master Wang has always felt that the disasters in the past two years would cause Emperor Zhou Li to abdicate. Even if he did not abdicate, it would cause civil strife, but so far there has been no civil strife except for tax increases.Master Wang originally wanted to take advantage of the civil strife to push forward, maybe it would be the day of his comeback, but his wishful thinking did not go as planned.If Tian Ding knew his father's thoughts, he would probably be pissed to death, and Mr. Wang was also depressed because of all the unsatisfactory things, and his whole person was obviously quite decadent.As the saying goes, people are alive.Master Wang lost his energy and looked like an old man.

A few days later, the village chief came to Wang Laoliu's house again. When he saw Wang Laoliu, he was startled. He didn't look the same as when he just came back. half an hour.Master Wang listened with his head down, without saying a word, the village head was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left, completely forgetting the purpose of coming here.The village chief went out angrily. After walking for a while, he looked up to the sky and sighed.Even if he loses his official position and still has fame, it would be a pity to just go on like this.

When the village chief was swearing, the three juniors were standing in the yard, and they could hear clearly, Wang Xiubai and Wang Xiuyun looked worried, while Tian Ding bowed his head, thinking that the scolding was good, and it would be great if he could wake up from the scolding.Seeing the village head leaving angrily, Tian Ding was a little disappointed, and then entangled with his father's temper, which was too weird.Sighing silently in my heart, I will ask my brother to go to the village chief's house to plead guilty later, and then ask when there will be a fair in the town, and there are a lot of things to add at home.

After dinner, Wang Xiubo went to the village head.Tian Ding turned around, made a mental note of what to add, and washed the dishes by the way.Sitting on the sidelines watching her brother wash the dishes, Wang Xiuyun was full of guilt. She really wanted to help her brother wash the dishes, but every time she washed the dishes, the dishes would fall to the ground and break.The bowls brought back from Beijing are almost broken. Now the bowls they use are all adobe bowls burned by their parents before they came to Beijing. If they are broken, they have to buy bowls. The family is not rich. For expenses, the work of washing dishes was taken over by my younger brother.Back in the countryside, Wang Xiuyun felt uncomfortable in various ways, but she understood the current situation at home, and no matter how uncomfortable she was, she could only keep it in her heart and try her best not to cause trouble to the family.

Wang Xiubai sat at the village head's house for a long time, and when he came back, he looked dejected. He mentioned to the village head that he wanted to be a husband, but was interrupted a few times by the village head, and he understood that he wanted to be a husband in the village. too likely.Without this hope, Wang Xiubo didn't know how to support his family, how to farm?Thinking about what my husband said, I feel very ashamed to farm the land, but, besides this, what else can he do?My father doesn't care about family affairs, my mother is sick in bed, my younger sister is a boudoir, my younger brother is a child, and there are only those things in the house. Seeing that I can't even eat, I still care about whether to lose face or not, and I have no bones.Wang Xiubai clenched his fists, he went to farm, and then found a job that could read and write, and read while working.

Tim Ding washed the dishes, asked his sister to set them up, and then picked up a rag to wipe the ashes that he could touch. Remembering the village chief asking his elder brother if he was engaged, Tim Ding sighed. Adding someone to the family is a good thing, and the future is the first thing to mention My sister-in-law is capable and good-natured. My eldest brother is 22 this year, and he is too old to marry. Because of his father's removal from office, it has been delayed until now. Now he wants to find a good daughter, but he doesn't know whether to find it. The conditions... Think about Tian Ding and want to sigh.

"Uncle Tian Ding, Uncle Tian Ding!" The cry of a child outside the yard interrupted Tian Ding's train of thought.Tian Ding ran out when he heard the sound, and saw that it was the grandson of the uncle's family, so he slowed down, "What's wrong?"

"Tomorrow my mother is going to dig wild vegetables, let me come over and ask Aunt Yun if she can go." The child wrapped his arms around, and there was an uncle who was as old as him, and he always felt awkward when he called someone.Tian Ding immediately helped his sister agree. Since her sister came back, she hasn't been out of the house, and she hasn't been in contact with the people in the village.Since the Lord took the initiative to invite my sister to follow, no matter what kind of ideas she came from, she had to agree if she wanted to live in the village, otherwise it would be too late if she wanted to join in the future.

Wang Xiuyun frowned slightly when she heard her younger brother explaining that she was going to dig wild vegetables tomorrow, and she nodded despite her reluctance.Wang Xiuyun trusts her younger brother very much, he will not harm her, there must be a reason for him to deal with this matter.Tian Ding was afraid that her sister would face the unfamiliarity alone, "Sister, don't worry, I'll go with my sister tomorrow and see if we can dig some more." Wang Xiuyun nodded quickly, and she didn't have to worry if her younger brother was with her.

The two told their elder brother about digging wild vegetables tomorrow, and Wang Xiubai told his younger brother the date of the market in the town. Since they want to plant the land, they have to buy the seeds and farm tools. "On the day of the market, Tianding and I will go, and my sister will take care of it at home. If you need anything, please let us know in advance." After Wang Xiubai finished speaking, he told his younger brother to bring all the money with him, and took his mother's medicine along the way.

"Go to the town and ask a doctor to come over and check my mother's pulse. Maybe another doctor and another prescription will improve my mother's condition." Tian Ding said that he couldn't believe it. They changed at least ten doctors along the way. Not to mention that my health didn't improve, but it got worse as I got better.

"According to what my brother said." Wang Xiubai did not object.After the three of them discussed, Wang Xiuyun went back to the room to rest, and the two brothers sat face to face. Wang Xiubai told his younger brother about his plan. If he wanted to go to the town to find a job, he would not be able to go back to the village every day, and the family would have to rely on his younger brother. Don't bother.It was time for the younger brother to go to school. Originally, he thought that when the school in the village opened, his younger brother could also go to school. But who would have thought that... Wang Xiubai felt bitter, he thought things too simply.

Tian Ding frowned and shook his head, reading with one mind and one mind. There may be successful examples, but it is relatively too low, and Tian Ding thinks it is not feasible. "We'll talk about this after the spring planting."

Wang Xiubai didn't intend to find something to do now, but he just made plans, looked at his brother's serious look, and recalled that when his brother was dozing off in the study, Wang Xiubai blamed himself for his incompetence. , maybe their family would not have fallen to this; if he had paid more attention to family affairs, maybe he would not have made his mother overworked.

Tian Ding doesn't know that his eldest brother is deeply in self-blame, and he is planning what to bring to the city.Wu Town in Xiangcheng is named after a big sycamore tree in the town. The market in Wu Town is divided into two types, big and small. Nine, ten 36 nineteen, 23 sixteen 29.Ten 56 two-day gatherings, these two days Wuzhen is the most lively.What Tian Ding and the others were going to catch was the [-]th episode. Even if it was a small episode, there would not be too few people going to the town. Maybe they could take advantage of that day to find a good business opportunity and earn their first pot of gold during the [-]th episode.

It seems that the weather has never been abnormal since Mr. Wang's family arrived in Wangcun. The sun rose on time, bringing light and heat to everyone.After breakfast early, Wang Xiuyun took her younger brother and walked to the village chief's house with the basket that she got up in the morning and cleaned.

Outside the yard, I saw Grandma Tang, looking at the two of them, I asked if I had breakfast, and went into the house for a bite.The two quickly said they had eaten.It was the first time that Wang Xiuyun was a little shy when she saw her grandma, but Tian Ding was very generous, showing that they were looking for the uncle's sister-in-law to dig wild vegetables.

"Come in and sit down for a while, your sister-in-law is still tidying up." The village chief and his wife live with the eldest son's family. There are four children in the eldest son's family. Except for the eldest son who was not separated, the other three sons have moved out. At home, the boss was very fair, and there was no estrangement between the brothers.When the village head divided the family for his sons, many people were waiting for the New Year to be lively, and the same was true for the family separation of the elders, but the village head did not go as everyone wanted, the division was fair, and the brothers were harmonious. But it is a model for the separation of families in the village. Any household is willing to let the village head go to be a witness.The village chief's daughter-in-law greeted the two of them to enter the house, Wang Xiuyun looked at her younger brother, and Tian Ding dragged her sister into the courtyard very naturally.

This is not the first time for the village chief to meet Wang Xiuyun. Girls in the village don’t have any nice names, and there is no girl who can cultivate Wang Xiuyun’s temperament. At first glance, she looks like a lady, but when she looks at the other’s fingers, the village chief is a little complicated. It's a pity, and there are some words that I don't know whether to persuade or not.If Wang Laoliu wants to marry his daughter high, he has to continue to pamper her, but Wang Laoliu's current state doesn't even care about the breadwinner of the family, how can he plan for the children.If you persuade the child to adapt to the life in the village now, this girl will become a village girl, and it may be difficult for her to marry high.The village chief sighed secretly, what a pity.

The village chief’s wife looked at Xiu Yun and said it’s a pity. When the grandson’s daughter-in-law took the two of them to dig wild vegetables, the village chief’s wife looked at her man, “What does the sixth child think? Look down on us old bones?"

"You don't look at the sixth child, alas!" The village head sighed, "Fortunately, their family can still use his fame and fame without paying land taxes, and everything outside the family is left to the children." After Chang finished speaking, he looked at the old woman, "The sixth daughter-in-law is not in good health and can't get out of bed. If you have nothing to do, go and have a look. By the way, ask the eldest of the family if the marriage is booked. The children are not young at 22. Find a quick one." Girl, you can also help with housework once you enter the door."

"Success." The village head's daughter-in-law responded, thinking about waiting for the grandson's daughter-in-law to come back and ask her. She has met the boss of the old six family. Isn't it just that he has become prosperous, and he has followed the sixth child, and he is honest at first glance, and he will not do things such as abandoning his wife and children.

On the other side, the few people who went to the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables gradually became familiar with each other.Wang Xiuda's daughter-in-law is a cheerful person. The first time she saw Wang Xiuyun, she had the same thought as her grandparents. The second thought was that digging wild vegetables might be slow today, and she was faintly envious of Wang Xiuyun.She has heard many things about girls being ignored by wealthy families in the city. Originally, Wang Xiuyun was also ignored in the future, but she changed her mind after seeing her. Zhi is the real Miss Everyone.

"Sister-in-law, do you think I dug it right?" Wang Xiuyun dug up a pile of grass, and then asked her sister-in-law. She couldn't tell what the wild vegetables looked like, but she just thought it was very similar to what my sister-in-law said just now.

"Oh, my sister, that's not wild vegetables, it's just piles of weeds!" The sister-in-law was happy, what about the ladies, now that they have returned to the village, they have to live like village girls.She looked at Wang Xiuyun differently, she was like any other rich lady, the one in front of her, who was able to carry a basket, was not afraid of getting dirty, and it was not easy to follow along to dig vegetables without complaining.

"Ah!" Xiu Yun looked at the pile of weeds in the basket and thought it was a pity, digging for nothing.After pouring out the weeds and watching my sister-in-law put them into the basket, Xiu Yun felt strange that those were not wild vegetables, my sister-in-law would still pack them up for anything.

"Take it home and feed the pigs." Seeing Xiu Yun's suspicious eyes, the sister-in-law said, "When your house is repaired, if you want to raise an only one, just tell your sister-in-law. When the pigs give birth, you two .”

"No way." Xiu Yun waved her hands hurriedly. Although she didn't know how much a piglet cost, she also knew that it was used to make money, so how could she ask for it for nothing.

"Here you are, and you keep it. Do you want to keep it for your family to eat until the end of the year, or sell it when you get fat? You can figure it out yourself. If you make money, you will give your sister-in-law a piggy bank. If you eat it for yourself, you will eat it." Take it as a gift from my sister-in-law to you." The elder sister-in-law waved her hand indifferently, they have gained a lot of money from the sixth uncle's reputation over the years, and as a human being, you have to say thank you, and when someone is in trouble, you have to drag it out.Before doing nothing, it was my grandfather who wanted to run a school and ask Uncle Liu to be a teacher. If the school's affairs were not settled, they had to help from other places.

Tian Ding has been silent all this time, and concentrates on digging wild vegetables behind, but he has a high regard for his sister-in-law in his heart. Turning over, I will also remember the kindness of my sister-in-law.No matter what happens in the future, Tian Ding will remember this kind of favor. As the old saying goes, it is easy to add flowers to the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow.
