Chapter 32 Livelihood
It was already afternoon when I came back from the Great Power Temple, Xiaojiu and the black fat boy were there, Lan Xiang was watching them read by the side, and the big yellow dog was napping by the inkstone.
Seeing Baochun, Xiaojiu got up, where did you go?
Your Aunt Lanxiang didn't tell you? Baochun wiped the ink drops on the bear child's cheeks, and his mother went to the Great Country Temple to find out the news of Master Huizhen.
The bear child is very dissatisfied, you go out while I'm not there.
In this questioning tone, Baochun rubbed his head, you go to practice, I just happened to be fine, so I went with Uncle Ma, coincidentally, coincidentally.
Don't do that next time. The bear child sighed, forget it, I still won't go to school in the future.
When the fat black boy next to him heard this, he was excited, why didn't he go? Didn't they all promise their father that they would go every day?
I'm not going anyway.
Your father will be angry, and he might even send someone to arrest you.
Don't go.
Baochun listened to it for a while, smacked it, and understood why the bear child was here, how could he regret what he had promised, and his mother would tell you in advance when she went out in the future.
The bear child thought about it for a while, and reluctantly asked: This is what you said. After that, he went back to his seat and went to read.
Baochun was full of black lines, glared at the bear child several times, and co-authored to use all the strategies and tactics in the story to her.
Lan Xiang made a cup of tea and brought it over, nervously asking if there was any news of Master Huizhen.
Baochun took a sip of tea and shook his head, but he met the master's apprentice, who was also the master's Xuanyin.
Really? Lan Xiang opened her eyes wide, it was also very good to see Master Xuanyin, it is said that this Master Xuanyin has obtained the true biography of Master Huizhen, and his reputation is no less than that of his master, Master Huizhen is a god, but after all, he is not in the world, and he can't find anyone, this Xuanyin is different, in this big country temple, although it is difficult to find, even many dignitaries and nobles are not moved, but there is always hope, how? The young lady didn't ask him if he could cure the young master's illness?
Baochun sighed and shook his head, how could he not ask? glanced at his son and said: Now I can only look for the news of Master Huizhen and study the strange disease, after all, I don't know if Master Huizhen is still there, and if he is not there, he will not put all his hopes on one head.
Lan Xiang was silent.
How did these two eat lunch? Baochun asked casually.
Lan Xiang sighed, she didn't come back at noon, and the person who came said that she was taken by Aunt Zhou to eat, and Aunt Zhou has always been easy-going, so I didn't go to pick up the little master back, and after eating, the two came back together to do homework.
Baochun nodded, and took out the tea he brought back from Xuan Yin, this is brought back from the Great Dao Temple, you look at asking the black fat man to bring some back to Aunt Zhou, and then asking Uncle Ma to send some to his father, anyway, we don't love this thing very much.
Baochun doesn't know much about the rarity of the tea leaves of the Great Daosi Temple, but the native Lanxiang knows that it is called a pain in the flesh, and he finds two purses, which are taken out one by one.
Baochun, who watched it, pouted, isn't it too picky?
As if sensing the strange gaze of the young lady, the girl turned her back directly, blocking the sight of her own young lady, and quickly picked up the most ugly appearance and pretended to be some, when she closed it, she looked at it and felt that it was not like a word, and gritted her teeth and stuffed it into it, and quickly closed it.
At this moment, Uncle Ma outside shouted, saying that the fourth young master was here.
The fourth young master is Shen Cheng, who once accompanied Baochun to ask for peace for the Cui family, and he took advantage of the afternoon rest to visit the third sister.
This Shen Cheng also brought gifts to Baochun and Xiaojiu respectively, Baochun is a pair of bracelets, and Xiaojiu is a pair of four treasures of the study.
The bracelet is jadeite, both in appearance and quality, and should be worth a few bucks.
The four treasures of the study, Baochun doesn't understand, however, Shen Si said that what kind of antiques are in the year, this Baochun knows that once he gets an antique, it is not a bargain.
As soon as Lan Xiang heard that outsiders were coming, she quickly cleaned up the tea leaves on the table.
I don't want that Shen Si has already opened the curtain and come in, shouting in his mouth, third sister, you can really do it, you can actually let Hei Wu sit down and read, this is really unprecedented, in order to let him study, Uncle I don't know how many masters he invited, and he couldn't read......
That's because of me, he's watching the wine...... Before Bao Chun's words were finished, Shen Si's eyes were already attracted by the tea leaves on the table.
This tea leaves look good, so they smell good. Shen Si said.
I think it's good, I'll let Lanxiang fill it up for you later, and I'll be a gift in return, anyway, you know that I don't have any good things here, so I brought it back from the Great Power Temple today. Baochun said.
Tea leaves in the Great Power Temple? Shen Si was stunned for a moment, I said Why is it so fragrant, it is necessary, decorate it more, the tea leaves of the Great Country Temple, it would be good for our general's mansion to get one or two every year.
Lan Xiang burst into tears, looked at the young lady, then at the fourth young master, and filled some for him, Shen Si's eyes were still staring at the tea can, Lan Xiang had to say, the fourth young master, the general hasn't sent it yet......
Shen Si sighed, as soon as Lan Xiang said this, he didn't dare to ask for it again.
Immediately afterwards, after a few words of detail, this Shen Cheng is going to try it next year, and he is currently stepping up his homework, and after sitting for a while, he left with the tea leaves.
But Aunt Zhou, the mother of the black fat man, asked him to bring a burden the next day, Baochun opened it and saw that there were two sets of clothes, one big and one small, the big one was Baochun's, the small one was a small wine, the formation was fine, it seemed that he was attentive.
There is also a simple and generous style, comfortable texture, Bao Chunxin said, this is still a Hui quality Lanxin.
This aunt is much better than that stepmother Cui's, and the knot between her and Cui's is already indissolvable, and Baochun doesn't want to light up the halo of hypocritical filial piety, except for the first day after coming back to ask for peace, she never went again.
In her case, she doesn't have to think about getting married, and she can't enter the officialdom, and the accumulation of filial piety is completely useless.
Besides, her elders don't have what elders should be, for example, Uncle Ma and Lanxiang's share, she pretended not to know, and there was a little wine, so there were four people in their yard, and only Baochun had a share.
Also, she wanted to stuff people into her yard, but she refused, saying that she was used to living in the countryside and was not used to too many people dangling in front of her.
Just kidding, she and her son have a lot of secrets, how can outsiders be allowed in.
It is said that later, her stepmother went to the general's father about this matter, saying that a young lady could serve two people, didn't this make outsiders laugh at her abuse of her stepdaughter.
As for how the general's father dealt with it, Baochun didn't know, but the Cui family didn't mention the Cypriots anymore.
Baochun didn't stay in the town for a long time, and the silver taels he earned were naturally limited, and there were only a thousand taels in total.
Moreover, it is necessary to consider that in the future, the General's Mansion has declined, there is no power and reliability, as a woman, adding an official to a knight, there is no need to think about it, marrying a good in-law, she is not qualified, so there is only one left, money, take money to build momentum, shelter their mother and son, and escort.
Merchants have always been at the bottom of the list, and they are the most humble professions, but if they accumulate to a certain extent, they can also affect the lifeline or something.
So, Baochun thought of the two shops given by the general's father, and the next afternoon, he took the group out of the door.
