Chapter 14: The Four Days

In the early morning, Li Yunbao woke up satisfied. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the white fat bun sleeping next to her, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.

Thinking about how she got along with Xiao Baozi last night, she laughed again. Bun Bun's little figure pretends to be a teenager and an old man, which makes Rainbow Dash laugh.

If you look closely, you can see in the child's eyes that he wants to be close to him, but he is afraid to be close to himself and is overwhelmed. She sighed in her heart, the original owner, you are really not angry, such a well-behaved and sensible little bun, why don't you cherish it? But it doesn't matter, now that it's herself, then she will raise Baozi with her heart and let him grow up healthy and strong.

Thinking about it, it was almost time for her to get up, and she didn't know when Gu's mother and her brother Wang Bao would enter the house today, hoping that it would not be delayed. My plan is almost in progress now, just wait for them to come back and then arrange where they go.

In Jinling City, people mostly use silver tickets and silver for daily transactions, and occasionally use gold, and only the lowest families use big money.

The big money is made of iron or copper, which is relatively heavy and inconvenient to carry, so the exchange rate in Beijing is relatively high, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for 13 to 1,500 big coins.

However, the border pass is the opposite, most of the people in the border pass are poor, basically illiterate, and have no money of their own, so the silver ticket is not in circulation, because very few people use it. Moreover, there is no ticket number in the general market and town, and the silver ticket cannot be exchanged, and the rich people can only go to the county or the prefecture to exchange the silver money, which is very inconvenient.

Moreover, at the border gates, copper and iron are also controlled items, so even if the people use a lot of money every day, the exchange ratio is lower than that of the capital. That is to say, one tael of silver can only be exchanged for a thousand big coins in the far north, and there is no more, and sometimes even one or two pieces of silver can not be exchanged for a thousand big coins. As for silver, it is rare, and as for gold, it is even less to be seen. That's why Rainbow Dash made Wang Bao exchange so much money.

Thinking about counting the money box by herself last night and seeing the rest of the original owner's money, her head hurts. A total of six taels of Wu Qianqi and Bai Wu, plus the four hundred and sixty taels that Ziqin, Gu's mother, and Wang Baohua had previously let go, a total of only six thousand two hundred and twenty-six taels of silver.

How capable this original owner is. Thinking about the silver money at the bottom of the box, there are 5,000 taels, the interest of two Zhuangzi for three years, the profit of two shops for three years, the profit of two caravans for three years, and her monthly money in the house for three years.

Last night, Rainbow Dash gave Gu's mother the remaining 5,500 taels of silver tickets, telling her to do everything she asked before dinner tonight.

Li Yunbao didn't do anything all day, so he took the small bag to play around, and tried to get familiar with the little bun as much as possible. I made snacks with him, fished small fish with him, basked in the sun with him, and told him a lot of interesting stories; Looking at the smiling face of the little bun, Li Yunbao was very satisfied.

In the afternoon, Rainbow Dash asked Ziqi to lead him to Yuanxi Ju to ask for peace, and let the child accompany the old lady to dinner, just in case the old lady left Xiao Baozi uncomfortable.

Rainbow Dash takes advantage of all her free time to learn skills. I saw her sitting on the soft collapse by the window outside and learning needlework with Ziqin, and she took the trouble to ask Ziqin if she didn't understand, and sometimes she used a pen made of eyebrows to record on paper.

Hehe, there's no way to do this, I don't understand it, and we're not ashamed of not knowing how to needlework as a new human being. And the original owner won't, haha, so let's learn, I can't buy clothes to wear in the future or ask others to make clothes. Learn the skills now and don't ask for people in the future, of course, it's more to save money in the future. As a modern person, Rainbow Dash deeply feels that a good memory is better than a bad pen. It is a fine tradition not to be ashamed to ask questions, and you should give up your face when you should give it up.

At this moment, a girl came to tell her that Gu's mother had returned home, and she also brought two pairs of large cages, saying that they were all rare things that the caravan had bought for Brother An'er everywhere.

After a while, some rough mothers-in-law carried two boxes and followed Gu's mother into the outer room, and Gu's mother signaled the mother-in-law to carry the things into the inner room and put them down, and then they left.

After Gu's mother watched the mother-in-law leave one after another, she instructed Ziqin to take the girls on duty in the middle hall to go down to the house to guard the house in person, and only after doing this to talk to Rainbow Dash.

"Girl, the old slave has done everything you have told you, and here there is a box containing four hundred pieces of silver for ten taels and one ingots, making a total of four thousand taels, and in it there is a bag of loose silver horns of one hundred taels; In another box, according to your instructions, the old slave took fifty taels, bought these children's toys such as nine links, small wooden horses, small windmills, small slingshots, and so on, and also bought the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones of these common people's household envoys, and packed them into a box; There are also these ten silver tickets with a face value of one hundred taels each and seven silver tickets with a face value of fifty taels each, all here, please take them, girl. ”

Li Yunbao took the silver ticket, and put it on the tea machine first. "I don't have to worry about your errands, you are old and sitting, and I will say a few words to you."

Seeing Gu's mother sitting down beside him, he said again: "Mom has watched me grow up since I was a child, and I have already been a mother like a biological mother in seventeen years. Lately, I've been having nightmares, my eyelids are jumping, and I always feel like there's something big going on. You must have known about the fire in Zhuangzi the night before yesterday, but I always felt that it was not over. Mother, here is the deed between you and my grandmother brother, and the three hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels will be my filial piety to you, and you will keep it for your old age; The other hundred taels are my congratulatory gifts to Brother Wang Bao, and I will spend money on my brother's marriage, and you can go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to cancel your nationality, don't delay. ”

While speaking, Li Yunbao handed Gu's mother a bag that he had packed up a long time ago, which contained a few pieces of fine brocade material, a piece of red fox fur, a pair of solid gold bracelets, a pair of solid silver bracelets, and a pair of sapphire heads. He took out three silver tickets of one hundred taels from the silver tickets on the tea machine, plus two identity deeds, and handed them to Gu's mother.

Gu's mother was shocked and said in a panic: "My good girl, what's wrong with you, the old slave feels that something is wrong when he sees you acting in the past few days, not like what you used to do." I thought that as long as you were happy, the old slave would go with your heart, but now you let the old slave leave you, and the old slave is unwilling. ”

After saying that, Gu's mother was angry, twisted her body to the side and didn't look at Li Yunbao. Li Yunbao couldn't help but persuade her again.

"Mom, you see that my milk brother is twenty years old this year, if you are at such an age, you can hold your grandson in ordinary people, and you are not in a hurry, can my milk brother not be in a hurry to have a daughter-in-law? This is all delayed by my ignorance before, and now I want to make up for it, can you not give me a chance. And when you have become a good person, can't you continue to serve me? You can still help me, Mom. Now that my brother Wang Bao can stand up to the door, it won't be like when you were young, and now no one dares to bully you, which you should know when you are old. ”

After Rainbow Dash's persuasion, Gu's mother finally agreed, and Rainbow Dash took the opportunity to tell Gu's mother her plan again, because Ziqin was an orphan and had nowhere to go in the future, if she could be with Wang Bao, if the two of them were not happy, let Ziqin recognize Gu's mother as a godmother, and let Gu's mother take care of her in the future. After the explanation, I have to take care of my mother to pack up her belongings now, and leave after dinner today, without any further delay.

After finally persuading Gu's mother to leave, Rainbow Dash summoned Ziqin again, and after some persuasion and persecution, she was given a deed, a hundred taels of silver tickets, and a burden, which was one less pair of silver bracelets than Gu's mother.

After Li Yunbao explained his arrangements to her, he asked her to follow Gu's mother out of the house overnight. As for the future, we can only pray that they will be well.

At night, after finally coaxing the child to sleep, she received the space for the two large boxes and the remaining nine hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets, and she also took away two hundred and fifty taels of silver in the money box, leaving only the lonely six taels in the box. Rainbow Dash then climbs into bed and falls asleep with the bun in her arms.
