Chapter 54 Seeing Profit and Forgetting Righteousness (Seeking Push, Seeking Receipt)
It is an honor to start on the Qingyun list this afternoon, and I hope that the officials will support it......
In the end, the two shopkeepers also went to salute King Kang's family and the other two families before leaving. Even if King Kang's family is a wanderer, the identity of the emperor's relatives still makes the common people feel awe.
Li Yao received one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Liu Zhong only saw that she had received fifty taels of silver. At this time, she tentatively only gave Liu Zhong thirty taels of silver, seeing if it would be okay to give it all.
Seeing the thirty taels of silver, Liu Zhong said that it was too hypocritical to say that he didn't want to accept it. Finally, he paused for a long time before saying, "Third Miss, what is this for?" Where can I collect your money? ”
"Isn't it true that all the money earned by escorting exiles belongs to your officials?"
Liu Zhong thought for a while and said, "...... Yes, but you and I know about it. I don't ask much about what kind of business you do and how much money you make. After a while, you will say that you have earned thirty taels of silver. I don't think my colleagues will be jealous of your money. These thirty taels of silver girls should be kept for themselves. "He still wants to curry favor with the poor, so naturally he won't take Li Yao's silver.
"If it weren't for Brother Liu's help, I wouldn't have been able to sell it. You should take this money. This silver can also be used to buy wine and food for several other official brothers. ”
The two excused themselves, and finally Liu Zhong took the thirty taels of silver. And the rest of the officials got the thirty taels of silver, but they didn't say much.
How much money Li Yao earned in total, except for the two shopkeepers, only Han Jin knew in the end. At this time, even the Han family didn't know that if her daughter had another three hundred and fifty taels of silver in the account, she would already be regarded as a little rich woman.
On this day, they stayed overnight in the ruined temple. Because Li Yao took out thirty taels of silver on her own initiative and gave it to the escort officer, after Mrs. Li confiscated the twenty taels of silver in her hand, she avoided being scolded by others.
In order to get rid of this endless scolding, Li Yao had to pretend to be good for herself, and said with a sad face: "Grandmother, there will be thirty taels of silver in the account in three days, I heard that the silver earned on the way to exile belongs to the official, don't say it!" Shall I give you half of the remaining thirty taels of silver? But you can't tell how much these recipes are selling! ”
Hearing that there would be thirty taels of silver to earn, she scolded for a long time, and the old lady Li, whose gray hair was flying in the wind, immediately stopped talking, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. But at this time, her chin tightened, and she said stiffly: "I don't know that the money earned on the escort road is to be given to the official?" You still need to say that! Remember to give it to me as soon as you take the money, give it all to me, and don't do it again! ”
Li Yao thought that the old lady would be too little, but she didn't believe it, but who knew that the old lady looked down on the merchants and didn't understand the market. Therefore, the old lady was fooled by her. For this reason, she was secretly happy, but her face responded obediently: "Yes".
Under the guard of Noble Treasure, Li Yao and Han Jin had just finished saying what they should have said, but at this time, the Wu family came up. She asked Li Yao in an inquiring tone, "Ah Yao, are your cake recipes really only sold for thirty taels of silver?" ”
"Oh, auntie, it's not just thirty taels sold, it's only thirty taels." Li Yao responded quietly.
"Really? Don't be honest, you're selling two cakes and the same pork dish! ”
"Really, auntie, if people don't give me a high price, I can't do it! Maybe it's a criminal. ”
"Oh...... However, if you move your mouth casually, you can earn thirty taels of silver, which is not a skill. If you have a new recipe, you can also earn more money. ”
Only look at the success of others in front of others, and do not look at the efforts behind others. You can earn money by moving your mouth casually, so you can move one for me. Li Yao, who disagreed with Wu's words, said: "Aunt Cousin also saw it, and these officials who followed us ...... Didn't they pay back thirty taels of silver? Therefore, I didn't make much money, and only thirty taels were left in my hands, and I haven't gotten these thirty taels yet! Seeing Han looking over worriedly, Li Yao smiled perfunctorily at Wu.
Hearing her say this, Wu smiled and said "um", but he didn't believe it in his heart. When she was exiled without raiding her home, she had a restaurant in Yanjing suburban county. If the same cake recipe or vegetable recipe is good, it will definitely be more than this price.
Seeing that his niece couldn't find anything here, Wu pulled Han aside and asked in a low voice: "The silver that A-Yao earned, is it that you and I are also divided in half?" ”
"Why?" When Han Shi heard this, he couldn't help but get angry, and his voice couldn't help but be a little higher. All the people gathered around the fire looked at it.
"Sister-in-law, be quiet, didn't I discuss it with you? Didn't our family go into exile because of your family's involvement? If it weren't for my uncle's involvement in me, I would still be living a life of servants at this time. At this time, you still don't want to share your family's money? ”
"How can this be reasonable, who doesn't think it's ridiculous to say this! Sister-in-law, do you dare to say this to my father-in-law? You go and ask my father-in-law, if my father-in-law says that he agrees to half the points, sister-in-law, I have nothing to say here. ”
What Wu said was too embarrassing, and Han couldn't help but feel that if this word spread, everyone would know that she had such a shameful concubine, and she would have no face to see people.
Regarding what Han said that there was no room for maneuver, Wu listened to it, and pouted and sneered a few times indifferently. She didn't believe that Han dared to spread her words. The two elders are brothers, if she has a bad reputation, will the Han family look good on their faces?
Li Yuan pulled Wu several times, and Wu looked at his daughter.
Li Ying complained in a low voice: "Mother, don't make trouble, you look like a real philistine!" ”
"Philistines? I'm not a philistine, what do you and I eat and drink when we get to the penal colony? ”
During this period of time, the exile road was very hard, and he was deeply impressed by the down-and-out appearance of Li Yao's family when they came back from Yazhou in the past, so Li Ying also knew that the future exile road would be quite hard without silver to rely on. So at this moment she curled up her hand on her mother's sleeve and stopped stopping her.
Although he feels guilty about the concubine's family, the Han family is not easy to entangle. Therefore, the Wu family was not punished. She knew that it was unlikely that she would get a share of the silver, but she still wanted to see where the bottom line of the Han family was.
Five hundred taels were removed from the fifty taels for the grandmother, and then the thirty taels for the official errand, and Li Yao finally had four hundred and twenty taels left in his hand.
On the one hand, the deal with Xilaiju has not yet been completely completed, and Li Yao is a little uneasy; On the other hand, I thought that if I got this money, I could give my cousin some trading capital to trade, and I would not have to worry about the first days when I arrived in the penal colony. Therefore, Li Yao was so excited that she couldn't sleep this night.
After tossing and turning for a long time and unable to sleep, she finally got up and sat up. But at this time, she saw Ji Moxuan, who was in leg cuffs, sitting cross-legged and silent by the fire, not knowing what she was thinking, and she seemed to be preoccupied.
The two have not touched or spoken in recent days, and even his sister Jingning County Lord does not talk to her anymore. Therefore, she just glanced at the other party out of curiosity, and then she didn't care why the other party hadn't slept so late.
Li Yao wanted to drink water, but she was afraid of a stomachache, so she took the clay pot and prepared to go to the stream outside to scoop water and boil it to drink. She had been bold since she was a child, and since the stream was not far from the temple where they were resting, she was not afraid.
She went out lightly with a clay pot, and Ji Moxuan looked at her back for a while. He thought that there was actually no big enmity between the two, so why did he bother to speak mean to others. He was depressed in his heart, worried about his two brothers, and worried about the unknown future. So he couldn't sleep that night.
From the beginning of her exile to the present, this girl has always had a tenacity from the inside out, as if this tenacity is not afraid of any wind, frost, rain and snow; It seems that this tenacity can be upright and loose in any down-and-out situation, and can be bent and stretched.
At the same time, from the beginning of her exile, this girl never missed any opportunity to improve her situation. He wondered why this girl who was younger than her had so much tenacity inside. Although he knows that tribulations will temper people's minds, he knows that he will know and meet him, and at this time, he will be more worried about his future in his heart.
Thinking of this, Ji Moxuan couldn't help but want to talk to someone about his thoughts, and Li Yao seemed to be a good candidate in his opinion. He felt that if this was the case, the confusion and worry in his heart would be reduced.
In fact, this young man didn't know that Li Yao was also very worried and confused and even panicked about the future. For example, the frenzied roar of her heart at the beginning of her exile, and her sunflower will that was about to crumble.
Ji Moxuan walked out of the temple gate as lightly as possible. Li Jin, who was lying behind her mother Wu, sat up half-with her arms propped up at this time. After sitting up, she looked at the dark sky outside, not knowing what she was thinking......
