The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #428 - Chapter 428: dial
Cheng Lezhou thinks this is because of the advice of Mr. Tian.
Master Tian told him some things about the Yan family after they settled down, and advised him to go to Xiaoan Village if he had the chance.
“I can’t wait, but I haven’t thought about it.” These are the original words of Mr. Tian.
How many people burn charcoal in the entire Guanzhou, and the only place that can benefit the neighbors and even the people of the city is Xiao’an Village.
What did the person next to him do? Confined to one family in one place, hire or buy people, prepare charcoal three seasons a year, and sell it in winter.
Eating depends on the sky, Tianhan makes a lot of money, Chang Leng makes a small profit.
Only those families are happy.
The Yan family manages charcoal for a living, making money for themselves, and the people can benefit. Outside Yongning City, poor people will not spend more copper coins. In Yongning City, rich people get convenience, and everyone takes care of it, which is extremely rare.
Cheng Lezhou couldn’t help but think of his own family.
His father is self-denying and self-disciplined, and he and his eldest brother are also used to the same. They live frugally and are willing to be poor.
When my mother was still alive, the family was full of chatter every day.
The eighty taels he came to give away belonged to his family. Therefore, Cheng Lezhou was so embarrassed when the coachman asked him for thirty copper coins. Ten Wen.
The Cheng family brothers learned from their father that there are only two money-making skills since they were young, one is to be an official, and the other is to copy books.
He has made up his mind to do the latter when he gets home.
But Tian Shishu’s words pointed him to a new path. When the window paper was pierced, the whole world suddenly became enlightened.
It seems that copying books is not the only way to make money in this world…
He pondered all the way, and finally mustered up the courage to say that.
Fortunately, Brother Yan didn’t refuse, and agreed.
…
It is too inconvenient to go directly to Yongning with things pulled on the sledge.
After discussing with Cheng Lezhou, the donkey pulled the sledge back to Xiaoan Village first.
Cheng Lezhou did not expect to come to the village that Uncle Tian Shi asked him to come and have a look so soon.
Unavoidably opened his eyes wide, looking around curiously.
The matter of erecting an arrow tower in the village was mentioned in the correspondence between Uncle Tian Shi and Dad.
What I saw with my own eyes is different from what I heard. The villagers in the village, like the soldiers guarding the border, stood on a high place and looked around.
The snow on the roof was cleared early, exposing new tiles.
Smoke was coming from the chimneys, and the snow in the courtyards of each house was pushed against the walls.
The sledge went all the way into Yan’s yard.
Cheng Lezhou hurriedly got off the donkey and straightened his robes.
Li Xuemei heard the movement, and as soon as she came out, she saw a young man in an old cotton robe, his cheeks were red from the cold. When she saw her, she saluted first, and then reported her family.
To be honest, Li Xuemei didn’t know what to say.
It looks like she is a year or two older than Heng’er, and she is still a child in her eyes, but from Yan’s second side, she might as well call her sister-in-law.
Fortunately, her daughter quickly rescued the siege: “Mother, young master Cheng’s father is a good friend of the master, and he made a special trip from Yongning to Huju to visit the master. My eldest sister and I are going to Yongning, so we happened to be traveling together on the way. It is not convenient to take the things we bought with you.” Come on, let’s take it home first.”
Li Xuemei then said along the way: “Young Master Cheng, go into the house to rest and warm up.”
Cheng Lezhou just wanted to say something, Yan Yu pushed him to the kitchen.
“My kitchen is the warmest. Brother Cheng goes in first to warm it up. Try my honey water. The honeycombs in the mountains are not easy to poke, the bee stings very badly…”
Cheng Lezhou knew that Yan’s family only had female relatives at this time, but fortunately there was younger brother Yan at home, he didn’t expect that the place to entertain guests was the kitchen, so he was quite at ease after the accident.
Really treat him like a guest, he might as well be restrained.
After hearing Yan Yu’s words, Nanny Rong mixed honey water for him.
After Cheng Lezhou thanked her, she was a little dazed when she saw this lady only smiling and gesticulating.
The big girl who hadn’t spoken all the way explained, “Aunt Rong can’t speak, Young Master Cheng forgive me.”
Cheng Lezhou hurriedly stood up and said: “Please forgive me for not being ignorant, I’m being rude.”
Nanny Rong shook her head with a smile, went past him to grab Da Ya’s hand, took off her gloves and hat, put them on the side of the stove to bake, and was about to take off her mask, Da Ya shook her head, Cover the mask.
Nurse Rong didn’t force her, she pulled her to the small stool by the stove and sat down, close to the fire.
Yan Yu was messing around outside, and Nanny Rong went out to help naturally, without the slightest bit of cognition that men and women should not be in the same room.
Da Ya wanted to call her to stop, but it was too late.
The face under the mask instantly turned red, and even the ears started to burn.
The same is true for Cheng Lezhou, his whole body is like being roasted in a fire.
He still has a sense of clarity, knowing that it is better not to do more than to do more at this time, don’t talk or move, just do not know!
He was drinking water at the last moment, so he had to continue to drink slowly, not daring to put down the bowl in his hand, and not daring to make a sound.
Nurse Rong came in quickly, and poured some hot water for Yan Yu and Da Ya.
Cheng Lezhou finally drank the honey water in the bowl, walked quickly to the door with his head down, turned around and bowed, and forced himself to calm down: “I’ll help Brother Yan.”
Da Ya breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the mask, fanned it with her hands, and put it on again.
“Aunt Rong, why…why do you keep the two of us here?”
Nurse Rong was very confused, and said with gestures: There are not many things, she and Xiaoer are enough, and they don’t need to reach out.
Da Ya thought she understood, but she didn’t expect to get this answer…
Yan Yu realized it only after starting the road again.
Oops!
What did she do?
No, no, what did Nanny Rong do?
But looking at the young master Cheng who lost his voice, and the elder sister who wrapped herself tightly, Yan Yu felt inexplicably happy.
She took her eldest sister out, and she did have some plans.
Big sister is gentle, sensitive and slender.
It would be fine if she met a lover, but if the other half could not be considerate, she might spend her life in tears.
Yan Yu guessed that the uncle probably wanted to wait for the scientific examination next year before choosing a son-in-law for the eldest sister.
If the uncle is elected, the social circle will be expanded, instead of sticking to one city as it is now.
Furthermore, the daughters of Juren are not the same as the daughters of scholars.
In short, the choice is bigger and wider.
But the eldest sister’s temper, to be honest, she and mother are not at ease.
So when she proposed to take the elder sister out more, her mother also supported her to see more of the world.
This is the reason for the trip to Huju, and the current trip to Yongning, including going to Gufeng and Changping in the future. If there is a chance, Yan Yu plans to bring her big sister.
Cheng Lezhou, Young Master Cheng…
She hadn’t thought of it before, but now it’s the right age, looks good, it’s not bad, the appearance of a middle-aged man, the average person is up, but taking advantage of the scholars, she is very gentle, tall, I don’t know if I can be more Jump up and down.
The external conditions are basically qualified.
In terms of personality, he looks quite honest and has a good temper.
That’s right, the Cheng family lives too poorly.
Not to mention the uncle, even she would not be able to make it through.
Marrying a Han, marrying a Han, dressing and eating, Mr. Cheng is greatly unqualified in this category.
Yan Yu immediately labeled him “not a good match for a big sister”.
Since there was no expectation, Yan Yu calmed down.
Arrived outside Yongning City, he introduced Cheng Lezhou to the villagers. After the latter thanked him solemnly, he said goodbye and went home on his own.
It’s really embarrassing to ask Yan Xiaodi to send him to the house again.
Without Cheng Lezhou, Da Ya relaxes.
Yan Yu first asked how the firewood business was today, and learned that it was the same as Hu Ju. Hearing that they had increased the copper plate, they all chose to sell more firewood. The firewood was not as good as it used to be, so she would pull it back to the village if she couldn’t sell it, and pull it twice if she couldn’t sell it once.
“I’ll take whatever I sell in the past few days, and the firewood will increase by a penny. People in the city need time to adapt. Don’t worry, it’s not too late for a good meal.” Yan Yu said.
That’s right, the master of the house is the squid, the master of mysteries from the beginning to the end, YYDS~
