Chapter 272: The First Meeting

According to the local people, some Xiucai families have a tea tree at home with a yard so that they can use it for entertaining guests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are tea trees, that is, there are tea seeds, there are tea saplings, although there are not many, but there are better every year, some people's yards are small, and the tea trees are slightly shady and can only be pulled up.

Tea is expensive, tea saplings are uprooted and discarded, even people who are not nervous about money will feel that it is a sin.

Sending tea saplings to familiar people's homes has formed a trend.

However, there are tea saplings every year, and there are not many saplings in small households, so the tea garden will not dabble.

Selling tea seedlings at zero does not match Xiucai's identity. If there are many tea seedlings at home, they can only sell them in the tooth shop.

Because there are many times when Xiucai people are entrusted to sell, the intermediary fee of the dentist is low, and the enthusiasm is definitely smaller.

Tea seedlings are not better than seeds, can be put for a long time, in order to increase the survival rate, the people of the tooth shop can only plant it at the door of the tooth shop, so as not to sell it, but also to lose.

For those who can afford tea saplings, almost all of them have one or two tea saplings in their yards; The tea garden collects tea seedlings, will not go to the tooth store to buy, no matter how cheap, it is added to the intermediary fee, which is not suitable for wholesale.

Uncle Che's family has made some money in the past few days because of Li Zhu and Li Quan's business, and they have repaid Li with peach and told Li Zhu's family about the sale of tea saplings in the tooth shop.

Yaxing only charges one tael of silver for selling ten tea saplings, five taels of silver for five tea saplings, and ten taels of silver for ten tea saplings, five is a multiple.

After hearing this, Hamahama became more and more convinced of the importance of market research. Back then, their family bought this, but it was sixty-three or twenty-seven.

There is a comparison, only to find that I have suffered a dumb loss.

The tea sapling that the Hamahama family bought last time only survived due to a severe lack of water. It's all about the tea-loving plum bachelor. Where there is a surplus to take out and sell.

This time, Li Zhu planned to wear and tear on the road, and spent a hundred taels of silver to buy a hundred tea saplings.

After buying tea saplings, everyone did not find cheap things in the capital for a while, nor did they find things that came quickly, in order to save money, Li Zhu and Li Quan were not good at wandering around the streets every day. Li Zhu could only make his own brush and practice calligraphy on the sand. The brush is made of bamboo, and the tip of the brush is made of bamboo, which is different from the brush, but Li Zhu said that he just wants to use these things to practice first.

Speaking of Li Zhu's writing, the words are crooked and seem to have been bitten by something unknown. As Li Zhu said, he relied on his memory to take the exam, and he didn't even have the opportunity to practice calligraphy seriously.

At this time, I was idle and just practiced calligraphy.

Li Quan plans to make a deal every day. He rented a carriage, took out fifty taels of silver, collected the fresh goods by the dock every day, and then transported them to the villages around the capital to earn some hard money. Of course, I also learned about the customs of the capital casually.

Qin Ni always remembered that she wanted to make her young lady beautiful. Before, in Lijia Village, the conditions did not allow it, and Qin Ni only strictly controlled Binbin's diet. When he went to the capital, Qin Ni found all the twelve ingredients according to the recipe in his memory, such as jatamansi, kaempfera, fragrant herb, baiji, angelica, parsnip, artemisia, white zombie, white aconite, smallpox pollen, tonka, and mung bean powder, and pounded them together into fine powder, and washed Binbin's face or bathed every day.

Qin Ni separated several medicinal herb shops and bought all the relevant things, and some even bought seeds and seedlings.

Fortunately, Hamahama is not a child of a few years old, and it is for the love of beauty, and everything is endured for the sake of beauty.

Qin Ni bought strange and similar medicinal materials every day, packed them in four dustpans, and asked the children to distinguish the medicinal materials one by one, and to tell them what the purpose of this medicinal material is and what it does when paired with other medicinal materials.

This is the beginning of studying medicine, knowing medicine.

The crowd struggled to learn. This has little to do with memorization, you know that thousands of medicinal materials are useless, you must first identify them correctly.

If you admit that you are mistaken, or you cannot say the properties of the medicine correctly. Qin Ni took out his own set of ways to strengthen his body and practiced it in turns, so that you can know what is really sour.

After more than ten days of hard work, Li Quan finally earned enough money and paid off the balance of the house.

Li Zhu's family and Li Quan both wanted to move to the courtyard that Li Quan had newly bought, and everyone made an appointment to meet with Guan Jianxing again, explaining the situation to him, explaining that Li Quan had bought the yard and that the family could move there, and it was inconvenient to disturb and so on.

……………………………… I...... Be...... Can...... Evil...... Target...... Divide...... Cut...... Line...............

Guan Jianxing has always known about the situation of his nephews and grandchildren in his yard.

Li Dao has been staying in the room, and at the same time detaining his son, saying that he is reading books, but he is not. According to Uncle Che's observations, Li Dao would ask Uncle Che from time to time to help him buy the worst paper and ink for writing teaching plans and experiences. In the process of writing, he taught his son every day, and the books he used were all books for exams. It can be seen that he is a responsible person. This should be the one who wants to see his own wife the most.

According to the observation in Lijia Village and on the boat, and the investigation of the subordinates, although Li Dao was not treated well by the Li family. And, if you have the ability to see, you can carry it clearly, and you have some ability, and you can carry one or two of them with the ability of the official family.

Li Dao's teaching quality is in Shangjiang Town, and he is praised by the college, otherwise he would not have given him a letter of recommendation. He is a person who really likes and is willing to work teaching and educating people.

Li Zhu's wife, Deng Shi, has been embroidering in the house, and from time to time she goes to the cloth village to buy embroidery thread, silk cloth and sell silk handkerchiefs. He is a hard worker.

Regarding the subordinate of the Li Zhu family, Qin Ni, who teaches medicine, Guan Jianxing sent someone to investigate, and he is a doctor of the Tai Hospital of a neighboring country who sells his own ability. He was strict with his children and had an eccentric way of teaching. And the children who were taught, even the youngest Hamahama, never complained.

Li Zhu and Li Quan rectified Saqima. The evening is when the two of them are busy.

Li Quan was a man with a good brain, coiled a carriage, and spent five taels of silver to ask the tooth master to take him around the capital. Then he ran around on his own, selling seafood and earning his hard money.

The most special is Li Zhu. In the report of his subordinates, Guan Jianxing always felt that what Li Zhu did was strange, as if he had known him before, but he didn't know it, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while.

Although Li Zhu said that he was a talent, he never read a book after getting off the boat. (Wei Yu: As mentioned earlier, Li Zhu and the children have already finished reading the few books they brought with them on the ship.) When they were on the ship, everyone was in their own cabin, so the official Jian Xing did not see Li Zhu reading. )

Li Zhu seems to be very keen on taking children to the streets, and will bring some seeds, saplings and other things back, and once even brought a nest of little foxes.

To say that Li Zhu is a showman, he can't see the clue at all. Later, I heard that Li Zhu tied his hands with sandbags during the day and practiced calligraphy on the sand. However, according to Uncle Che's report, Li Zhu's handwriting is almost the same as that of a three-year-old child, and it can be seen that he is not a person who writes often.

The relationship between Li Zhu's two brothers, no matter how Li Zhuzi is written, Li Dao has no intention of coming forward to teach.

This time, Li Quan and Li Zhu asked to see Guan Jianxing, and Guan Jianxing knew the reason, he thought about it, and the next day, in the courtyard, he told Li Quan the reason for living here.

Guan Jianxing said to Li Zhu and Li Quan: "I know that you have bought the courtyard and want to move there, there is no need for this. I won't talk to you about the set of things that should be entertained by my uncle. There are two main reasons why you can't live there. First, you live here with your uncle, near the sea, and Li Quan runs around selling seafood, where he goes; The second is that he was seen selling things in Xiucai Lane, and at that time it was explained that Xiucai bought it, for fear of being told that his reputation would be damaged and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

After Li Zhu and Li Quan heard this, they both nodded in response.

Guan Jianxing said: "You can hold your teeth and rent the house to Xiucai who went to Beijing to catch the exam." Not only can you earn rent, but you can also make the house more popular. ”

Li Quan nodded happily after hearing this.

Li Zhu responded with a smile and said, "Uncle, fortunately you are rigorous, fortunately for your reminder, otherwise after the accident, we would have reacted, it is really a good thing to do a bad thing." ”

Guan Jianxing shook his head and said: "Where is my rigor, these are all lessons and lessons, accumulated again and again." You know it's the best. When it comes to renting a house, you ask Uncle Che to help you contact a dentist. Don't move, don't move, see you, pass it on. ”

Li Zhu and Li Quan both nodded in response after hearing this, it was indeed that they were not thoughtful.

Guan Jianxing asked if there was anything else he needed help with, Li Zhu and Li Quan glanced at each other, and both shook their heads with a smile.

Guan Jianxing nodded, he was still satisfied with his nephews, he was clear, diligent, had ideas and could listen to advice.

After the official Jian Xing left, Li Quan was busy with Uncle Che to help with it.

In three days, Uncle Che brought back the lease of rent.

Because it is Xiucai Lane, it can only be rented to Xiucai, and Xiucai rents a house with a discount. However, the rent still made everyone smile.

Three or two five hundred dollars a month. It's almost worth the monthly silver of a teaching in Shangjiang Town.

After Li Zhu, Binbin and Li Hai Ge heard this, their eyes were shining.

After hearing this, Li Zhu nodded and said: "This capital is full of gold, and it is easy to make money." ”

Li Quan smiled and grinned to the side of his ear, and said, "Zhu, thanks to you." ”

Li Zhu waved his hand and said, "The money belongs to Brother Quan, and the matter is yours to do, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Li Quan slapped Li Zhu's shoulder with a smile and said, "Yes, we are two brothers in one life, don't talk about this." Let's go, I'm in for a treat tonight. ”

Li Zhu and the children shook their heads together after hearing this, and Li Zhu pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Brother Quan, you have a rent, but I rely on those Saqima to earn money, so we won't go out to eat at night." ”

After hearing this, Li Quan smiled and said, "I'm happy to forget." Okay, let's have dinner in the evening, I'll go buy some meat and come back for my sister-in-law to cook. ”

Everyone laughed.

……………… I...... Be...... Can...... Evil...... Target...... Divide...... Cut...... Line..............................

Not to mention, Li Zhu now practices calligraphy on the sand in the yard, and takes the children to the streets every week. He either wanted to buy something, or he took the children around. At this time, Qin Ni would follow, and every time he asked the master's family to help buy some medicinal herbs or seeds, he didn't forget that the master's yard was wide.

On this day, Li carried fifty taels of silver in his arms, and Qin Ni took the two children and walked around the street as usual.

When passing by the market, Li Tao and Li Bo's eyes lit up at the same time.

Hamahama looked at his twin brother and was pleasantly surprised. What did Hamahama see?

Miniature horses.

Mini horses can reach speeds of more than tens of kilometers per hour, can carry loads of more than one-third to two-thirds of their body weight, and can run in good or bad conditions, which is beyond the reach of other means of transportation. And the miniature horse has a docile temperament, is smart and cute, loyal and reliable, and is most suitable for the current twin brothers.

Li Tao and Li Bo pulled Li Zhu towards the mini horse at the same time.

Li Zhu likes fresh things, and this unseen horse, at the first sight of it, he planned to buy it in his heart.

A miniature horse, which is only the size of a small or medium-sized dog, cannot be a war horse. People here don't use mini-horse-drawn carts either, why? If you think about it, your carriage is drawn by a dog-sized horse, similar to a "dog cart", and you don't have the idea of having a mini horse-drawn carriage.

Here, miniature horses are raised by wealthy families, slaughtered to entertain guests, and are equivalent to pigs. However, the price is much more expensive than a big pig, a mini horse, it costs five hundred taels of silver, and the horse money is collected.

After Li Zhu inquired, he asked Qin Ni to go back and get the silver, he wanted to buy two horses.

Qin Ni looked at the mini horse, nodded, and said with a smile: "Master, Qi Shi is going to be happy." ”

Li Zhu said with a smile: "Tao'er and Bo'er don't have horses, and the family bought stallions and mares to let them learn to ride horses after they were paired, and now, they can be advanced." ”

After Li Tao and Li Bo heard this, they happily rushed to the side of the mini horse and began to choose their own horses seriously.

Lehi hugged Hamahama, and his heart was also happy. However, he did not go to the place where he sold the horses to choose horses. He knew that these two horses belonged to his younger brother, so they should choose them themselves.

Qin Ni nodded with a smile and hurriedly went back to the courtyard to get the money from the Deng family.

Next to Li Zhu, there was an old man in a patch suit with white hair and white eyebrows, and a straight waist, and when he heard Li Zhu's words about letting the child ride a learning horse, he was attracted and looked at Li Zhu and a group of people. This glance made the old man stunned for a while.

A group of people, dressed ordinarily, are all ordinary cotton cloth, the dress of the villagers, but, neat and regular. Regardless of the size of the men, the navy blue color is uniform, and the female dolls are carved in pink and jade.

The male dolls are handsome, with beautiful facial features, but not feminine, and the male dolls are wheat-colored, with sparkling eyes, smart and cute.

What made the old man stunned was Li Zhu.

The old man looked left and right, saw that Li Tao chose a snow-white mini horse, and said with a smile: "Little doll, you chose a white horse, did you buy it and eat it at home?" ”

Li Tao smiled and made a series of things to the old man, dry and refreshing, frank, and proud: "No, this is my current car." ”

The old man looked at Li Tao, and nodded to this child in his heart, now, there are really not many children who can make him feel good, there is one in front of him.

The old man smiled and said, "You ride such a small horse, and you are not afraid of the jokes of the brothers in the family?" ”

Li Tao felt that this old man was sick, sighed in his heart, and said patiently: "Grandpa, my father said that my brother and I are still young and can't ride big horses, we can only ride small horses, but the speed of ponies is much faster than me and my younger brother." Therefore, we have to wait until we are the same age as our brother before we can learn to ride a horse seriously. However, with this miniature horse, my brother and I will be able to learn to ride horses this year. The joke of mine must be envy, it can't be because of the shame of riding this. I don't even have to ride, isn't it more embarrassing than me who rides a horse? Someone who rides a horse is more shameful than someone who doesn't? If someone thinks so, isn't it a fool? ”

Li Bo listened to the old man's question, and also felt that the old man was sick, and said: "Grandpa, I don't have to ride, I laugh at myself, where do you care about other people's ideas and don't do it?" ”

Lehi glanced at the old man and shook his head, he also had a memory in his heart that the old man couldn't see things clearly, but he didn't say anything.

Hamahama looked at this old man, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy in her heart, she was shocked in her heart, and after thinking about it for a while, it was the aura of this old man, and the aura of this old man was very similar to her modern grandfather.

After Hamahama felt this aura, he was shocked.

No matter how noble the old man's status is, his own talent is the most important! Binbin was afraid that his brothers would have a shadow in their hearts, so he straightened his chest and responded: "Grandpa, there are no jokes, there is jealousy; Some are not like this with jokes, that's stupid. Our own comfort is. We are not gold, can we still be loved? Is silver still too little? Even gold is not considered pure enough, and we can't care about what others say. ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled contentedly and nodded in his heart, listening to these children, he could know that they were well taught and intelligent. But it doesn't show it on the face.

Brother Li Hai and Hamahama were not much of a talker, and the old man did not speak, and they also looked at the horses. These unseen horses are more attractive than this old man.

The time for a pillar of incense, Li Tao chose it. Li Bo was still jumping up and down next to him, running around, touching all the horses, Binbin saw his little brother's movements, rolled his eyes in his heart, and said to Li Hai: "Brother Hai, let Brother Bo choose a horse that is different from Brother Tao, let's have a male and a female, so that our family can have a small mini horse in the future." ”

Li Hai smiled and pinched Binbin's face, nodded, and said to Li Bo: "Don't run around, come back." Anyway, you didn't choose, see if Tao chose male or female, if it was male, you would choose female, if it was female, you would choose male. It's easy for you to choose, and you're halfway there at once. Moreover, it is convenient for breeding. ”

After hearing this, Li Bo hurriedly went to the mini horse selected by Li Tao and squatted down to check.

The boys of the Li Zhu family are raised cheaply.

It's really cheap!

No matter how busy he was with his studies, he had to help with farm work and feed the livestock.

The livestock of the family gave birth to small livestock, and the troublesome servants were never left behind. Such an ordinary method of knowing the mother and mother, the servants will know.

Li Bo glanced at it and said to Li Tao with a smile, "Brother, you are a mother, and I am looking for a male." ”

After hearing this, Li Tao nodded and said, "I'm a white horse, you can find a black one." Don't look for white, black, bottled and ugly pony spots. ”

After hearing this, Li Bo nodded with a smile, and directly pointed to the horse that was as black as ink and had oily hair and said, "That horse, I want that horse." ”

The old man looked at Hamahama in surprise, and then at Li Bo. Are today's children so smart?

Not bad, like yourself.

The big guy should have guessed that this old man is the official who has just returned from the patrol, and during his patrol, he has read the letter sent by his aunt, saying that he has found the descendants of the concubine, presumably this group of people.

The official recognized Li Zhu at a glance and felt that Li Zhu must have something to do with his family. Just because Li Zhu looks like his own aunt. However, its forehead is higher and the heavenly court is full, making the delicate facial features handsome and not feminine.

Li Zhu saw that the two children had been selected, stepped forward to check it, touched the horse bones, this is the horse recognition method taught by Shang Lao, nodded, looked at the gender of the two horses, nodded, and said to the horse seller with a smile: "This brother, how much are these two horses?" ”

The horse seller had just negotiated with someone and didn't hear the words of Li Tao's car.

The horse seller saw that although his family was dressed in cotton noodles, they were all navy blue cloth from the big farms, and when he saw that Li Zhu made a move, he was an expert, and sighed in his heart, and said: "This brother, I see that you are an expert, we don't say dark words, my more than ten mini horses are good, but I fell out with the restaurant that collected mini horses in the past, they didn't accept my mini horse, and he also united the entire restaurant in the capital to refuse to accept my mini horse." Now, my horse is recorded in the restaurant, and if you buy my mini horse, you can't sell it in the restaurant. You can only eat it yourself or sell it to large households. I sold it for a real price, five hundred taels of silver a horse, not two prices. ”

Li Zhu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, brother, for the reminder." ”

Seeing that Li Zhu's family's face remained unchanged, the horse seller remembered his actions just now, and said with a smile: "Brother, looking at your actions just now, you must be a person who understands horses, and now you are a farmer." I'm guessing you've changed from a trader selling horses to a farmer, and you've gotten a higher status. To tell you the truth, I have the same thoughts. Businessmen look at people's faces every day, how can any peasant household live a solid life? ”

Li Zhu just wanted to argue after hearing this, but the horse seller continued: "A farmer like you can only buy it at the real price. Let me tell you, just now there is a child in the family who has taken the Xiucai exam, and with the Xiucai red letter, he can go to the county government to get a discount for buying livestock, which is about one thousandth. Although a horse only received 50 yuan, it is better to add up to a lot, right? Alas, I originally wanted to sell these horses for a high price to send my children to school, but now it seems that it will be delayed. ”

After Li Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded.

Hamahama nodded.

Yes, wealth is accumulated bit by bit. Fifty wen is also money.

Seeing that Li Tao and the brothers had chosen the ponies, the horse seller re-arranged the two horses, took them out, and said: "What your family has chosen, I will bring it out for you, and you can take it away directly after giving the money." ”

Li Zhu said with a smile: "When we went out this time, we didn't bring enough money, and the people in the family have already gone to get it, let's wait." ”

After hearing this, the horse seller smiled and nodded, led the horse chosen by Li Tao and his brothers to Li Zhu's side, and then went to greet others.

This is not a strange thing, not to mention that Li Zhu's family is just an ordinary Zhuang family, if they can take out so much money at once, it is a strange thing.

Li Zhu smiled and nodded in thanks, pulling the children to stand next to the horse and waiting for Qin Ni to take the money. (To be continued.) )
