Everyone worked together, going back and forth two or three times to finally move the boxes to the hut on the top of the mountain. Dong Rong looked at the half-stuffed east house, thinking about whether it was time to expand the house. If you stay occasionally, you can do it, but if you live regularly, it will be a little crowded. At least two rows of side rooms should be built, as well as ear rooms used as warehouses, and the stove room should also be enlarged.

Dong Ping saw his sister looking at the boxes in the room in a daze, and thought that she was distressed about the money, so he hurriedly whispered, "Sister, the things in Kyoto are good and cheap, so I will buy more." ”

As soon as Dong Rong heard that his brother had misunderstood, she pulled him out and said with a smile, "As long as it is a useful thing, you will buy it back for a few thousand taels, and my sister will not feel distressed." My sister felt that the house was a little small, and she was thinking about building a few more rooms in the spring. ”

"Great, my sister must leave me a side room, and I will come back to live after the academy is on vacation."

"Okay, no one's place can't be missing our talented master."

The sisters and brothers were talking and laughing, Steward Zhang had already sent the coachman back, and Zhao Qingshan also took the handyman down the mountain with great eyes. Xizi smiled and squatted in the leeward not far from the door and pretended to look at the scenery, which made the stupid pillar amused, and closed the door smoothly, so there were only four masters and servants left in the house.

Steward Zhang took out an oiled paper bag from his arms with both hands, uncovered layer after layer, and finally revealed a thick stack of silver tickets inside. He cautiously pushed the paper bag in front of Dong Rong, and slightly raised his voice to report, "Thanks to the blessing of the Dong family, this trip to Kyoto is very smooth, and the three sets of fruits will get a total of 27,000 taels of silver." I found the best Huitong money bank in Kyoto and exchanged it for a large amount of silver tickets of 500 taels, a total of 54 tickets. One of them, the second young master, took it to buy supplies, and this was all the remaining fifty-three sheets, totaling 26,500 taels. Please keep it! ”

"Ah, so... Many! Dong Rong was so shocked that she was a little stunned when she spoke, you must know that she was busy all summer, and together with the ice business and orchard, her entire net worth was less than six hundred taels. Now it has suddenly multiplied more than 40 times, and no one knows what to do.

Although Murong Huaide had already received the news from Kyoto, he was also a little stunned when he saw the real tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets at this time. Unexpectedly, a few small fruits topped the income of all his shops for more than half a year, no wonder his little daughter-in-law has always called this fruit golden apple.

"Ahem" Dong Rong reluctantly suppressed the desire to scream, tried to pretend to be calm, got up and gave Steward Zhang a half-salute, and thanked Steward Zhang again, "Steward Zhang has worked hard, although our family's fruits are magical and rare, but without Steward Zhang's bothering, there must not be such a rich return." ”

Steward Zhang hurriedly got up to avoid the side, and replied in a loud voice, "The owner is serious, this is all small things should be done." What's more, on this trip to Kyoto, the second son really helped a lot, and even the last Jin Dong family who cooperated in selling fruits was also befriended by the second son. The small ones only exerted their strength, and they really didn't dare to be greedy. ”

"Oh, Brother Ping still made friends in Kyoto?" Dong Rong was curious about her younger brother's shy temperament on weekdays, how he made friends in a different @ place, and joked with a smile, "But which female ruffian takes a fancy to Brother Ping's handsomeness and wants to be arrested to be the prince of the village, but he happened to meet a hero..."

"Oh, sister, where do you want to go?" Dong Ping glared in shame, and retorted loudly, "We only met Brother Jin when we went to the fruit store to walk around, he is generous and bold, this time thanks to his help." ”

Dong Rong put away the joke and asked, "Since they have helped a lot, can you thank you well?" ”

These words can poke Dong Ping's sore spot, and he has been speculating all the way whether the friends he has made with great difficulty will be broken off like this. So he sighed and replied, "Before I came back, I was thinking about so many silver tickets in my hand, if someone had bad intentions... Well, so I didn't say hello to Brother Jin when I left. ”

Dong Rong heard this vaguely, and after pondering for a while, she realized that her younger brother was on guard against robbery by his friends, so he sneaked back without resigning. It stands to reason that he should be praised for being so alert and defensive. But if you think about it from the side of that friend, it is indeed a bit chilling and annoying.

"Well, you are in a foreign country, and it is not wrong to be more vigilant against people's hearts, but next time you should act more safely. Tomorrow, you will take some more silver and go to the county to buy some mountain goods and fur caravans and send them to Jin Dong's house, so that you can make amends to others. ”

"Yes, eldest sister. I'll go to the county early tomorrow morning. ”

Dong Rong saw that his younger brother looked a little depressed, so he said: "If that Jin Dongjia is really bold and generous, he will definitely understand your hardships without saying goodbye." Come on, don't think about it. Tell my sister how you sell the fruits, and how Kyoto is very lively during the time of the birthday. ”

Dong Ping has gained a lot of insight on this trip, and when he heard his sister ask, he talked about the interesting things on the road with great interest, as well as how to sell the fruit to the Zhongshan Palace, and how to cooperate with Jin Beiwang to get a lot of money. Of course, he is not clear about the places, and Manager Zhang will also add a few words in due course. At the end, Dong Ping thought for a while and said, "Sister, originally I felt very miserable when I saw the homeless people outside our city, but the further south I went, I found that there were more homeless people, kneeling and begging, and there were people selling their sons and daughters everywhere. I heard Brother Jin say that the DPRK and China had a lot of quarrel because of the opening of a warehouse for disaster relief, and a speech official was killed at the Shengshou banquet.

The offering of our family's fruit happened to refute the rumors that the royal family was unkind and worthy of heaven's condemnation. The emperor was delighted, and finally exempted the taxes and grain of the four states affected by the disaster, and even rewarded our academy with a plaque. But the emperor did not say that he wanted the state capitals to help the displaced people who had fled the famine, and it was impossible for these displaced people to rush back to their hometowns now, so they could only wait until next spring. I don't know how to survive this winter? ”

Steward Zhang also sighed and said, "It's just a wall, inside the wall is singing every night, but outside the wall is crying non-stop." It's..."

Dong Rong also frowned when she thought of the homeless people she had seen in the mountains in search of wild things every day. She glanced at the thick silver ticket on the table, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Our family has this heavy money, and it is also the luck of natural disasters." As the old saying goes, even if you get a windfall, you must share one of them, that is, you are afraid that blessings and disasters will depend on each other, and too much blessing will invite disasters. Therefore, if you all agree, then give two thousand taels out of this silver to the homeless. ”

"Really? Sister wants to help the homeless? Dong Ping straightened his back in surprise and said happily, "Then I'll go buy food tomorrow and build a shed to cook porridge..."

"Wait, what are you in a hurry?" Dong Rong glared at her younger brother, and said angrily, "The government and those rich families in the city have not moved, and a small farmer in our family suddenly opened a porridge shed, isn't it too eye-catching." ”

"What then? Do you want to give copper coins to the homeless? Dong Ping also ran out of ideas, frowned and asked.

Dong Rong didn't say anything, just looked at Manager Zhang with a smile.

Steward Zhang hurriedly put down the tea bowl in his hand, and Dong Rong discussed how to use the silver money in front of him, and even asked him for his opinion, which obviously did not treat him as an outsider. His heart was hot, and when he heard this, his brain spun quickly, and he pondered for a while before saying, "The little one is a bit shallow, why don't you listen to it from the owner and the second son?" ”

"Uncle Zhang has a way to say it." Dong Ping had to be stewarded by Zhang to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation this month, and treated him very close and trusted.

Dong Rong also nodded and smiled: "Uncle Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Steward Zhang was even more excited when he heard that the owner had also changed his name, and hurriedly said, "I seem to have heard the owner talk about expanding the house, although it is cold here in winter, it is not too difficult if you want to break ground, at most you can make more effort." There are many able-bodied people among the displaced people outside the city, so wouldn't it be better for the proprietor to gather people in the name of recruiting workers and building houses, and then distribute food and wages? ”

"This method is good" Dong Rong originally only wanted to come up with a vague outline in her heart, and she heard Manager Zhang say it so clearly, so she opened her mouth and praised, "It's still Uncle Zhang's mellow manner, even if it's a little dazzling, it won't be too much." The family has to go up the mountain to cut wood and chisel stones, and there are a few more grass pavilions and three chicken houses to build at the bottom of the mountain, which is a lot of work. If it is well arranged, it is enough to stretch until the beginning of spring. ”

Dong Ping also calmed down at this time, and said in agreement, "We don't know how many homeless people there are, and the food at home should also be gathered, and where do the homeless people live?" ”

Dong Rong patted her younger brother on the shoulder and praised, "Brother Ping still thinks carefully, think twice about everything in the future, even if you go to the edge of the sky, sister doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Dong Ping was praised and became more confident, reached out to pick up a pen and paper and began to count the food stored at home. Seeing this, Steward Zhang got up to say goodbye, and Dong Rong left him on the mountain for lunch before leaving, but he smiled and said that he wanted to see the number of displaced people outside the city, and inquire about the price of grain in the city.

Seeing this, Dong Rong picked up a few sugar shortbreads made a few days ago and left them for him to pad his stomach on the way. Steward Zhang bowed down and walked out, and when he passed in front of the stupid pillar, he subconsciously bent down and slowed down.

A smile flashed in Silly Zhu's eyes, and he whispered, "It's hard work." ”

"Ah, it's not hard, it's not hard!" Steward Zhang's face turned red with joy, and he bowed again and again and then retreated out of the door.

Dong Rong's sister and brother turned their heads to look at the sound and continued to bow their heads and get busy, Silly Zhu didn't know what to remember, and sat with a calm face for a long time before going out and shouting Xizi, who was freezing with snot, and went to the stove together. A bowl of japonica rice is boiled in half a pot of water until it is cooked, and two bowls of garlic eggplant and salted cucumber are sandwiched out of the jar, plus half a dustpan of sugar shortbread, and the family's lunch is ready.

Dong Rong's sister and brother listed the things that needed to be purchased by Zhang Luo, and went to the cellar to look at the stored grain and a large pile of sweet potatoes, and they barely felt a little confident in their hearts. When I got back to the house, I happened to see a steaming meal on the table, Dong Rong patted her head and said with annoyance, "I was just busy, but I forgot to cook some good dishes for you to catch the wind." ”

Dong Ping said with a smile while serving porridge, "I still have a few days off, and I don't go back to the academy immediately, my sister will have time to cook tomorrow." But I'm going to eat boiled fish, big pots! ”
