Chapter 273: Buying a Mouse
The official master has been paying attention to the Li Zhu family, and when they heard that Xiucai Hongwen was discounted just now, everyone's eyes lit up for a while, and they pretended to say casually: "It turns out that you still have relatives of Xiucai master?" ”
When the children heard the official's question, they thought that his brain was not good, and they all showed pity for him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hamahama is more wary of the official master. There will be no one who cares about others for no reason, let alone someone who makes himself familiar with his aura.
The official was uncomfortable to be looked at by the children. He understood the meaning in the eyes of Brother Li Hai, full of the meaning of this old man is a fool, the official master does not understand, and his heart is full of anger, he asks such a thing, is it not a matter of course? The most important thing is that he thinks that this family wants to show off his talent to Guan Kunlei. hasn't recognized the door yet, even if it's counted, such a person hastily recognizes it, and it is only right to send it early, even if he looks like his aunt and his daughter. However, after so many generations, and not growing up around, it is normal not to like it.
Hamahama Lai had to take care of irrelevant people, and didn't want to pay attention to them, so he asked the horse seller: "Uncle, is it a show of talent and a return of money?" If a family has two copies of Xiucai Hongwen, is it a refund of two shares? ”
The horse seller listened to Binbin's question, looked at the child with a smile and said: "Little girl, serious Xiucai buys such little ponies for food or New Year's gifts, and the people who buy these things are all subordinates of the family, and the serious Xiucai master will not ask in person." The talented masters all buy high-headed horses. ”
Hamahama pursed his lips and didn't ask. She thinks it's a bit like a modern reimbursement model, and according to a modern single invoice, it should be the same here. You can only report the same thing once.
Li Zhu patted Binbin's ass with a smile and scolded with a smile: "You kid, of course, you can only report once." Otherwise, if you have a few more red texts, this horse will not be equivalent to the official family giving it to you. ”
Hamahama smiled and nodded.
Li Zhu patted Binbin's ass again and said, "You can't have such thoughts in the future, no matter what it is, we must be upright." Don't think crookedly. ”
Hamahama smiled and nodded, hugging his father and coquettishly.
The adults have spoken, and it is not good to sell horses, and when he heard that Li Zhuying Binbin could only report once, he responded: "No, if there is no separation, if there are two or three talents in a family, you can report twice." The first time is one thousandth, the second is two thousandths, the third is three thousandths, and so on. The family of the talented man is a man of many talents, and the official office is to stammer. It's just that there are very few times like this. There are a few talented people in the family, most of them are big families, and they don't like to be so tidy. ”
Li Zhu and the others were immediately happy when they heard this. But Li Hai frowned and asked Li Zhu, "Dad, did you bring my red text?" ”
Li Zhu immediately responded with a smile: "Bring it, your mother has brought all our red texts." She originally wanted to use your red text to buy books here in the capital, so she brought them here. ”
As mentioned earlier, the talent here is expensive, and the books are also expensive. And Xiucai has a discount for buying books. In terms of discounts, there is a more humane reason and for the country's investment in readers, the younger the Xiucai Hongwen to buy books, the greater the discount.
Lehi smiled and grinned at the corners of his mouth.
The official man listened carefully to the conversation of this family, and now he understands that this person who is like his own aunt and this half-sized child is a showman!
The official frowned for a while and grinned for a while, how downhill their family was, and the two showmen in the family were still dressed as croppers. The reason for laughing must be that the half-sized kid is a showman! Although there are all kinds of people in the capital, and there are also half-sized talents, but there are no official families, which is unusual. Moreover, if they are so bored, they can also be admitted to Xiucai, then they must have extraordinary skills, such as unforgettable.
After talking back and forth, Qin Ni ran back and handed a money bag to Li Zhu.
Binbin looked at Qin Ni, he came back so quickly and his face remained unchanged, he didn't say it, his family should not know.
Li Zhu shook his head, did not take the money, and asked Qin Ni to give money to sell the horse.
Qin Ni looked at the horses chosen by the two children, nodded, and took out a thousand taels of silver for the horse seller.
Li Tao and Li Bo immediately cheered and stepped forward to hug the horse's neck.
When the official saw the appearance of the two children, he nodded in his heart. Even such a young child has this heart, which shows how good this family is!
Qin Ni led the horse and stood behind Li Zhu.
The official lord saw that Li Zhu's family called the servants, thinking that it was arranged by the official Jianxing, so the money belonged to his grandson, and as soon as such a thought arose, he was suppressed by the official master himself. Thinking of the temperament of his grandson, it is not realistic for him to pay for these things for his nephew! He didn't even bother to buy these things himself, let alone relatives who had just come from afar.
Seeing that Li Zhu's family wanted to leave, the official stepped forward with a smile and made a call to Li Zhu, and said, "It turned out to be Master Xiucai, and the words of the little old man just now were offensive, please ......don't mind."
Li Zhu didn't wait for the official master to finish speaking, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, don't be so polite." It's not a good thing. ”
Qin Ni knew the attitude of the Li Zhu family towards people, which was one of the reasons why he didn't have two hearts.
Be fair and sincere. With such an open-minded person, whether he is a mortal or not, how can he have a bad life.
Seeing that Li Zhu was not arrogant or impatient, the official lord nodded in his heart, and his favor rose a little.
Hamahama had actually just found out that the old man had been paying attention to his home, and he looked puzzled. She has seen a lot of wild history in her previous life, and she doesn't think it's strange that someone with such an aura suddenly appears here, but it's extremely strange to pay attention to her own family.
The official master wanted to talk to Li Zhu, but Li Hai turned to the horse seller and asked confirmatively: "Uncle, if we want to take the red text to the official office, do we need it immediately?" ”
The horse seller had just heard Li Hai say that he had Xiucai Hongwen, and was shocked that such a young child was already Xiucai, and said with a smile: "Little Xiucai, this uncle can't afford it." Your family can trust me, give me the name of Xiucai, I will go to the official office tomorrow to report your name and register with me to buy a horse, you can take Xiucai's red letter to the official office to get the money in two days. ”
It turned out that the red documents registered by the official government were recorded all over the country. If you are a talent, you can find it as long as you report your name at any official office.
Hamahama listened to it and had a new understanding of the world in her heart, who said that ancient information was not developed, and who was she anxious with.
Li Hai glanced at Li Zhu, and Li Zhu nodded.
Li Hai smiled and said to the horse seller: "I am Li Hai from Shangjiang Town, and my father is Li Zhu." Uncle Lao helps us run this foot. "After that, I'll be a showman.
Qin Ni came out of the palace, how could he not hear what was going on. When Lehi finished speaking, he hurriedly stuffed some copper coins for the horse seller.
The horse seller smiled and said yes, and took the copper coin. Shock is shock, but the money for running feet is not wrong.
Li Zhu stepped forward and said a few kind words and left with the children.
Seeing that Li Zhu's family was leaving, the official was busy with his eyes, letting the people around him block the way of Li Zhu's family.
Originally, a few passers-by who were around the official were busy walking in a dislocation, "accidentally" blocking the way of Li Zhu's family.
The old man pulled Li Zhu's shirt and said, "This talented old man, the little old man just said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help it. I don't have any silver taels, so I'll invite you to eat a bowl of noodles on the side of the road as an apology. ”
These are ordinary things in the eyes of others. Because just now this old man said something that doubted the talented old man.
However, this is not a normal thing in Li Zhu's family.
Li Zhu's family never felt that there was anything great about their family being Xiucai, and because of their style, the people in the village did not particularly treat them with Xiucai's courtesy, and they had never encountered such an unforgiving thing, even if they were stupid, they also thought that something was wrong, not to mention that they were a ghost and a ghost.
Li Zhu shook his head and said, "Old man, it's really out of the way." Our family was originally a Zhuang family, and we were lucky to get a show, and there are usually no rules for showmanship at home, so we shouldn't do anything. ”
Li Zhu said this, others thought he was modest, but those who knew the inside story knew that what he said was that there were no rules for showing talents, this is really the truth.
The official master had just returned to Beijing, and he didn't know about Li Zhu's family, so he just thought he was modest, and said: "This is not good, the little old man has no money, and he can still afford a bowl of noodles." ”
Li Zhu looked at the old man's persistence and looked at the children.
The children look around, and such things should be decided by their own fathers.
Suddenly, Binbin's eyes lit up, pointed to one place, and said to Li Zhu: "Dad, let's go over there and have a look." ”
Li Zhu and Li Hai listened to Binbin's words and looked at his fingers.
I saw that in front of me, someone was carrying a mouse, covered in hair, and shouting.
Li Zhu and the children had never seen a mouse covered in hair, with long and fluffy hair on the tail, and they all walked towards it with interest.
The official followed the direction of Hamahama's finger, his eyes lit up, and he followed.
This is the famous "chinchilla" in modern times, that is, called the chinchilla. Chinchillas are small and obese in size, with long, fluffy hairs at the end of their tails. The whole body is covered with uniform fluff, and its shape is as dense and soft as silk, hence the name. The chinchilla is a precious fur-bearing animal, its fur is thick, soft, gorgeous, light, and it is a herbivore, and Hamahama has a straight eye to see.
Qin Ni led the two mini horses in the direction of Binbin's finger, and he was glad that he had just taken more than a thousand taels of silver.
Li Zhu hugged Binbin, Li Hai pulled Li Tao with one hand and Li Bo with the other, looking slow, but in fact fast towards "My Neighbor Totoro".
Li Zhuzhi's seller of "My Neighbor Totoro" asked in front of him: "Little brother, how do you sell what you have?" ”
The man who sold "Totoro" said with a smile: "I caught five of these mice today, and I saw that they were different from eating our grain. ”
When Li Zhu's family heard this, they had a toothache, and they had a feeling that they had become wronged.
The seller of "My Neighbor Totoro" smiled and said, "If this brother wants to buy it, let's buy it all." It's a rat you've never seen before. Rest assured, they don't eat grain, they eat grass roots. I know rats aren't worth much, but, fresh, haven't appeared yet. and I sold you ten taels of silver. ”
Li Zhu frowned, this is Li Zhu's habit of bargaining.
The rat seller immediately said, "Brother, don't bargain with me. I may have sold less for ten taels of silver. I show you the way. If you carry these rats to the mansion of the official lord to sell, you may be able to sell them for a hundred taels. You will go back in a few days, and I heard that the official master has left Beijing. I just left Beijing tomorrow, and I will only come back in a few years, and there is no one to help raise these rats, otherwise, how could I give you such a good thing to show my face in front of the official? ”
When Hamahama and Li Hai heard this, they had expressions on their faces that they were genetically buying things.
When the official master heard this from behind, his face was as black as ink.
The official has a hobby, that is, he loves to buy new things, especially things that he has never seen. But he doesn't take advantage of people. He buys them all at price. Of course, there are those who take the opportunity to curry favor and take the opportunity to trick people to make a lot of money, which is really indescribable.
Li Zhu frowned, and said solemnly to the mouse seller: "We bought this rat and raised it ourselves, and we don't give it away." ”
The rat seller looked at Li Zhudao with novelty: "You plan to raise rats!!? ”
Li Zhu nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
The mouse seller's eyes rolled and said, "This brother, you even raise such little mice, you should be able to raise kittens and puppies and the like." ”
Li Zhuying said: "If you meet the right one, you will raise it." ”
The rat seller said happily, "This is really good." I'm moving out, I'm not coming back so soon, and I'm going to sell everything I have at home. A few kittens and puppies at home, because they are small, are not very easy to handle. I see that you are kind-hearted, I have five cats and five dogs, if you buy them all, how about I only charge you three hundred taels of silver with these rats? ”
After Li Zhu heard this, he really frowned. What cats and dogs, worth more than two hundred taels.
The rat seller took out a basket from behind him and said, "Brother, don't be busy rejecting me. I'm going to have my dog and cat brought over now, and you'll decide after you see it. When I bought it back in Aochuguo, I only had three cats and three dogs, but it cost three hundred taels. Now they have given birth to kittens and puppies, five cats and five dogs, and I will give them to you at the price I bought them, and these rats will be given away. What do you think? ”
When Li Zhu heard that it was a cat or dog from another country, according to the original price when he bought it, he was a little willing in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he said, "Let's take a look first." ”
The rat seller smiled and put the basket on the ground, saying, "Your daughter should like it." ”
The children immediately gathered around the basket and craned their necks to look inside.
Li Bo looked at it and said happily: "Dad, look at this is the same size as my dog, but the hair has grown a little." So that my dog can have puppies. ”
Li Hai and Li Tao looked at it and nodded, Li Zhu looked at it, and said with a little disappointment: "This brother, although we like it, but this is not new, we have a dog of this size." That's not worth the price. ”
At this time, I was surprised by the dog seller and the official who was also watching around the basket.
As far as the official knows, such a small dog is only liked by the stupid big ones who only have muscles in Ao Chuguo, and the small ones are funny. This kind of dog the size of a teacup that can't even look at the door, even if it is a woman in the emperor's backyard, no one likes to keep it as a pet. Of course, the official master's family raised a strip for freshness. Except for him, no one in the family likes it, and Li Zhu's family, listening to the child's tone, obviously likes this dog, and has been raising it for some time.
When Lehi saw this dog, his eyes rolled, and he immediately said to Li Zhu: "Dad, Bo's is just a male dog, let's just buy a female dog and go back, we don't need to buy so many." Let's only buy a pair of cats. ”
After hearing this, Li Zhu responded with a smile.
After hearing this, the mouse seller said: "This is not good, my cats and dogs are all a family, you can't dismantle them." It's not authentic. ”
Hamahama glanced at the mouse seller and said, "Daddy, let's leave this uncle alone." There must be no one to buy it, he wants to sell it to our family at one time, so that our family will be the big one. How can you only buy it from one family at a time? ”
The mouse seller was told what she thought by a little girl, and her face turned red in an instant.
Li Tao snorted and said, "Uncle, you want our family to give you a round, you give a sincere price." Let's discuss. If it is really at this price, our family will not buy it. ”
The mouse seller thought for a while and said, "This little baby is really good at bargaining, so let's take a step back and two hundred and fifty taels of silver." It can't be less, below this price, I'm willing to give it away. ”
When Brother Li Hai heard this, they all pursed their lips, and at this point, it can only be decided by Li Zhu.
As soon as Hamahama heard this, he immediately responded, "Then you can give it away." ”
Li Bo heard his sister-in-law's words, and said with a smile: "Uncle, anyway, you are going to give it away, it is better to send a female dog to me, after you have a little puppy in the future, when you come back, I will send a little dog to you." ”
The rat seller was told by this group of children, and he had no temper at all. Even the children can't say it, it's really aggrieved.
Li Zhu looked at the children and said with a smile: "These cats and dogs are raised by you, and you can consider whether to buy them yourself." Bought how to take it home. These are all things that you have in mind. ”
Hamahama twisted his head, yawned, and fell asleep. The seller just now has already said that no one buys these things in the capital, which proves that he can't make money by selling this, and Hamahama is not interested in it at all.
However, the hair of the rat can be used for money and use, and Binbin said to Li Zhu before going to bed: "Dad, we want that rat." ”
Li Zhu nodded and looked at his sons.
Li Hai looked at Li Tao and Li Bo, and said clearly: "You two think, anyway, the two of you will raise it, and I will not help you raise it." ”
Li Tao asked Li Bo, "Is it difficult to raise?" ”
Li Bo clasped his hands and said, "It's not difficult to raise, but it's useless for us to raise it." I can only play with the two of us. ”
Li Tao thought for a while, bit his lip and said, "Let's raise the two of us." In the future, we will sell these cats and dogs back to Ao Chuguo. However, this price is too expensive. ”
Li Tao looked at the mouse seller and said, "Uncle, how about two hundred taels?" It's better than giving it away for nothing. And the amount is not much, so it is not appropriate to send it to anyone. ”
The rat seller nodded after hearing this. He didn't plan to give it away, he just wanted to raise the price, there are not many cats and dogs, and it is not appropriate to give it to anyone, so it is best to sell it for cash.
After listening to Li Tao's words, Binbin's interest immediately rose, and he smiled and clapped his hands.
Li Hai nodded and said to Li Tao: "Only the caravan can apply to go to sea." The sea above the county level is protected by state soldiers. This piece of money from the sea has always been in the hands of people at or above the county level. If you want to sell things out of the country in the future, you have to not only take the exam, but also enter the jinshi. ”
Li Tao and Li Bo glanced at each other and nodded. Li Bo said to Li Zhu: "Dad, we still have a few years before we can take the Jinshi exam, so why don't you take the exam." ”
Li Zhu smiled and patted his youngest son's head and said, "Do you think that Jinshi can be taken if you want to?" This is different from taking the test. Xiucai, as long as you have a good memory, you must be in high school. Jinshi not only had to write a strategy that satisfied the full house of civil and military affairs, but also went to the palace to answer, so that Kyojo was satisfied, so that he could go to high school. It's not just memory, daily accumulation, on-the-spot adaptability, but also luck. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some children of high-ranking officials in the court go through the back door and are taken through the back door. Whatever it is, it is blessed. ”
The official master listened to Li Zhu's words next to him and was shocked for a while. Few people summarize the rules of the exam room so brilliantly, and they are all on point. It seems that this grandson of his own family is really capable. This made him even happier, his descendants have the ability, and there is no old man who is unhappy.
The mouse seller smiled and said, "Your family knows a lot, and there is another situation where you can go to sea to do business." Just follow the adults. They eat meat, and let's get some meat foam enough for us to be comfortable for a few years, isn't it? To tell you the truth, I sold my property this time, and I planned to go out with the adults to take a risk. Life is too short, you have to fight a few times, don't you? ”
Li Zhu smiled and nodded after hearing this.
Li Zhu turned his head to Qin Ni and said, "Qin Ni, do you have any money?" It's not enough to go back and ask the child's mother to take it. ”
When the official heard Qin Ni's name, the whole person was not good, he looked at Qin Ni deeply, confirmed that it was Qin Ni in his impression, and even more puzzled.
Qin Ni stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master, I just took out an extra five hundred taels of silver, in case you bought three ponies, now buy these cats, dogs and mice, the money is enough." ”
Li Zhu smiled and nodded after hearing this. Let Qin Ni pay.
The official master glanced at the things Li Zhu bought, although it was unusual, but he had it at home, so there was no big reaction.
Li Zhu gave Binbin to Li Hai on his back, and he carried the basket containing the cat and dog himself, and asked Qin Ni to carry the basket containing the mouse.
No matter how Li Zhu said, he is also used to doing farm work, and he still has the strength to do it. Qin Ni has never done heavy work. Li Zhu thought that Qin Ni had never done heavy work, and in the spirit of respecting the elders, he chose the heavy one.
The people next to him heard Qin Ni call Master Li Zhu, but the things were taken by Li Zhu, which was very strange. However, no one said anything, just pointed at the side.
The official lord nodded, if Qin Ni was really that Qin Ni, he was indeed worthy of such courtesy.
Seeing that Li Zhu and the others wanted to leave, the official master hurriedly said: "Xiucai, I just said that I will invite you to eat noodles to make amends." ”
Li Zhu saw that the old man had been pestering, and if he could get rid of him after eating noodles with him, he was willing.
Li Zhu glanced at Qin Ni. Li Zhu has an advantage, he will not be stubborn. He used to ask his family for their opinions, regardless of dignity or inferiority. That's why Hahama's opinion was adopted. (To be continued.) )
