Seventy-six
Eleven Niang picked up a piece of gold and threw it to him and said: "Go, don't come to this trick, what, give this money to your father, tell him, hurry up and buy me a few little girls back, otherwise when Xiaoxing gets married in the future, there will be no one to help me grind ink!"
Li Wei wanted to say that there were too many gold ingots, just change them for silver ingots, and then his face turned red when he heard it, and he squeaked and said, "This money is too much." ”
The ingot of gold weighed 100 taels, and the market price was worth 1,000 taels of silver.
Eleven Niang thought about it for a while, and said, "Is it too much?" Then you use the rest of the money to buy a small yard around here, and if there is any leftover, you can make some jewelry or something, so that you can use it, and there will be no leftovers." ”
"But-" Li Cheng still wanted to excuse himself and get the money back, his father would beat him to death.
Eleven Niang said: "Brother Cheng, your young lady and I still plan to be richer than the Li Mansion, if you don't even dare to take a single ingot of gold, how can you help me make more money in the future?"
After Li Cheng heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "Miss, I, Li Cheng, will definitely saddle the horse for you in the future, and be born and die!"
"Gotta get it!" Eleven Niang immediately stopped him and said: "Isn't it just a reward, how can it be related to life and death, I want to live a long life, and you must live a long life!"
"Yes, yes, we all live a long life!"
After finally sending Li Cheng away, Eleven Niang walked into the bedroom with the remaining 19 ingots of gold, climbed onto the bed, lifted the sheets spread on it, and then picked up a small bed board, revealing a large box inside, Eleven Niang opened the box and put all the gold ingots in.
There are three kinds of currency in this era: copper coins, silver, gold, a thousand copper coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold, she feels that the country's commerce has been slowly developing, although the three currencies are issued by the state, but with the current ability, the discovery of gold and silver mines is still too little, and so more and more commodities on the market, then, the exchange ratio of copper coins and gold and silver will definitely change, so she decided to use silver first and cover the gold.
After putting the money away, Eleven Niang walked to the bookshelf, wanting to find an idle book to pass the time, but at a glance she saw the book "Qi Min Technique", so she took it down, looked through it carefully, and saw the pen and ink column behind, which was even more careful.
Seeing that the good pine wood was burned first, and then a little soot was sifted out, she felt that it would take many years for a pine tree to grow into a big tree, and that the resulting ash might not be able to make a piece of ink, which was really wasteful and worthless, and it would be nice if there was something to replace it.
At this time, her head flashed, and she quickly turned up the bookshelf and took out all the travelogue books, she remembered that she had read a book a few days ago, which said, "Gaonu County produces fat water, but yes." "After flipping through many books, I finally found it, and it was a book that I wrote after the failure of a sour Confucian imperial examination, and then wrote a book, which said: "The native people use the pheasant tail to pick it up, and use it to pick into the thread, which is quite like pure lacquer, but it is like hemp, but the smoke is very thick, and the curtain is black." ”
Isn't this thing just oil? When the oil burns down, it is jet black, and the soot can certainly be used to make ink, so where is this Gaonu County? Looking at this description, it seems to be the Yan'an area.
However, this oil is also a limited resource, and it is of great use to keep it for future generations, not only can it be used as fuel, but it can also synthesize various organic substances, and even make clothes, alas, forget it, just burn it to take ashes, it's a bit too wasteful, or let this thing continue to be buried in the ground, thinking like this, Eleven Niang put the two books back.
"Miss, the fourth lady is here. Xiao Tao came in to spread the word, and as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the fourth lady shouting: "Eleventh sister, eleven sister, are you there?"
"Such good weather, why didn't the fourth sister go out today?" Seeing the fourth lady hurriedly coming in, Eleven Niang joked to her, whether it is in the past life or this life, she is not an extrovert, as long as there is enough food, she can stay at home for more than ten days without going out, but the fourth lady is an extrovert, since he called Fucheng, the first envoy also followed Eleven Niang to stay at home, and later became familiar with the seventh lady, the two of them often go out shopping together, and it would be good to be at home one day in ten days.
Xiao Tao retreated with a very eye, and there were only two sisters in the room
Seeing her expression, Eleven Niang asked, "Fourth sister, what's wrong, but what's the difficulty?"
The fourth lady squeaked for a long time before she said, "Eleventh sister, that, my sister has been short of money recently, can you borrow some money from my sister?"
Eleven Niang said: "Of course there is no problem, fourth sister, how much do you want to borrow?"
The problem of money, in her eyes, has never been a problem.
The fourth lady thought about it for a long time before stretching out two fingers.
"Two hundred taels?" asked Eleven Niang.
The fourth lady shook her head like a rattle, and said, "No, no, no, twenty taels, it's twenty taels, twenty taels is enough!"
"Of course it's no problem," Eleven Niang said, "You wait here, I'll go in and get it for you." Then he turned around and went into the inner chamber, and took out twenty taels of loose silver.
The fourth lady took the silver, looked at Eleven Niang, and muttered for a long time before saying, "Eleventh sister, you don't even ask me what I want this money for, just lend it to me?"
Eleven Niang smiled and said to her: "If the fourth sister wants to say, the younger sister will listen to it, if the fourth sister doesn't want to say, the younger sister won't ask about anything, isn't that good?"
The fourth lady looked at her with emotion and said, "Eleventh sister, you are so good, you sister is much stronger than other sisters!"
Eleven Niang smiled: "The fourth sister is bad, our sisters are the same, how can there be a difference between strength and weakness, don't let the sixth lady and the seventh lady hear this, otherwise they don't know how sad they should be!"
"They-" The fourth lady wanted to say something, but finally stopped, but Xiao Ju, who was standing on the side, stomped her foot and said angrily: "Miss, there is a good chance that the person will give you money for this, and you will help her hide it!"
After hearing this, Eleven Niang asked Xiaoju: "What's the matter? What kind of money? Fourth sister, have you been deceived?"
Xiao Ju rushed up and knelt down directly at Eleven Niang, and said: "Miss Eleven, you have to help Miss Four clarify, the boss of the red sleeves came to ask for money today, pointing out that our Fourth Miss owed more than 20 taels of bills in her store, but every time our Fourth Miss went to her store to buy something, she paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, when did you ever owe the debt? When I said that, I cried.
"Xiaoju, you make it clear, since you don't owe the debt, why did the boss of the red-sleeved move come to collect the debt?"
The fourth lady said ashamedly: "When she came, she was holding an IOU with a handprint on it, saying that I pressed it." ”
"Fourth sister, have you pressed this handprint?" said Shi Niang Zhengse.
"Like, I pressed it. "The fourth lady is not quite sure.
