Chapter 63 Get the Good Stuff for Free
Gongsun Auntie bypassed the donkey, looked at the fabric, it was indeed soft and comfortable to the touch, it was a good piece of fabric, Zhou Lao received a whole big bag of rice, it was indeed enough to eat for several months, Gongsun Auntie asked Zhou Lao again, "Hey, I went to the market last week, why haven't I heard anyone mention it, we don't know about this matter at all." ”
"No one knows about the last market day, it was a notice posted early this morning, it is estimated that it is to add blessings to the children of the general's mansion, this thing was specially done, a lot of good things were transported from Chang'an City in the morning, and the place to receive it was temporarily built in a warehouse, not far from the city gate, and many people from other counties rushed to it in the morning, and the soldiers saw that they were not from Yunjin City, and they were afraid that it would be unpleasant today, so they were also sent to those people from other counties." Zhou Lao remembered the scene of the crowd when he rushed there, and he was worried that he would not be able to receive it in the back, but he didn't expect that when it was his turn, fortunately there were still a few things left.
"Is it only one day today, or will it be sent tomorrow! Tomorrow is the market day, and if it is going to be sent tomorrow, there will be a lot of people who will go, because many people will only know about it today. Zhao Dalang looked at the big bag of rice on Zhou Lao's donkey cart, it was indeed enough to chew for a few months, he asked Zhou Lao, Zhou Lao also shook his head, "Then I don't know, but anyway, I'm going to the market tomorrow, I'll go early, in case it is sent tomorrow, I can still get one thing, haha." ”
"Old Zhou, you are confused, you just said yourself, a family can only receive the same, you forgot, you have already received it and can still receive it!" Yang Sanlang smiled and looked at Zhou Lao, who couldn't close his mouth, Zhou Lao was used to being frugal on weekdays, and this time he smashed a big bag of rice on his head, he couldn't help but be happy.
"Tell you secretly, the people in the General's Mansion today must not have thought that there are so many people who go to collect things, they are not enough, some people secretly took things and hid them, and dressed up in disguise, and lined up at the back of the line, this person is not enough, and there are many people in line, look at our yellow book one by one, then don't see tomorrow dawn, so in this way, some people have received two things." Zhou Lao saw an opportunistic man happily holding two things, he looked at the donkey, the big-headed donkey couldn't hide, seeing that it was getting late, and there were few things left in the collection area, he hurriedly drove the donkey back.
"Hey, there are such good things, Old Zhou, I'm happy to see you today, not bad, this general's mansion is a good thing for the people, it's getting late, you go back quickly, wait for this donkey to be dark and it's not good to see the road, Aunt Zhou is still waiting at home." Yang Sanlang saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the donkey probably saw that the owner had been chatting for too long, and his impatient left foot plowed the ground, Yang Sanlang saw this, and hurriedly urged Zhou Lao to go back early, this Zhou Lao lived farther than them, and there was still some distance from the way home.
"Then I'll go first, my insider, I've been looking forward to it at home since I came out." Zhou Laoxi waved his hand at Yang Sanlang and the others with a smile, and with a "", the donkey ran away quickly, leaving only the dust on his face.
"Okay, we're done with the excitement, it's time to go home!" Yang Sanlang turned his head, and everyone walked in the direction of home together, everyone was silent for a long time, Chu Yue asked a word to break the embarrassment, "Look at you all don't speak one by one, do you think you are panicking today!" ”
"Yang Sanlang, you have to discipline your lady well, say some brainless words all day long, we don't talk because we want to catch up with the market tomorrow, this is up to me to choose, if I know that Yunjin City has free things to distribute, I still don't go, I still have to go to the Yun family to congratulate my goddaughter, what's the matter, Chu Yue, do you feel very sorry when you see the satin fabric." Aunt Gongsun raised her eyebrows at Chu Yue, pretended to be angry and patted the back of Chu Yue's head, and said seriously.
"Hey, Aunt Gongsun, look at what you said, if San Lang goes back and really trains me, then I won't leave your house, I, I have the same heart with you, if I knew about this in advance, I wouldn't go, don't think I'm a traitor! Ha ha! Chu Yue shrank his head and replied seriously.
"That's good!" The other four people said in unison, and after finishing speaking, everyone laughed, and their figures walked farther and farther, and a sentence floated in the wind from time to time, "Do we want to go to the market early tomorrow, in case we send something tomorrow." ”
"What's the use of you going early, don't you still have to set up a stall to make money, you don't set up a stall, just go to the queue!"
"When the stall is over, the fabric is really comfortable to the touch!"
"Chu Yue, if there is really one tomorrow, don't worry about the fabric, with my understanding of San Lang, he will definitely come back with a big bag of rice."
"Zhao Dalang, that maybe, San Lang may bring me a piece of good cloth back, I haven't worn clothes for several years, San Lang, what do you say!"
"This mother-in-law, I think about looking good all day long, don't eat with one mouth, just eat the fish in the fish pond all day long!"
"Okay, okay, Chu Yue, don't make trouble, what are you doing with my ears, okay, I'll go and get your clothes tomorrow, okay!"
"Hey, you say, should we prepare more things for tomorrow's stall, in case we still send things there tomorrow, there must be more people, if there are more, there will be more people buying our things."
"Yes, yes, I'm going to catch more fish early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell enough!"
The wind gradually decreased, the sky gradually darkened, and the sound of speech spread farther and farther, and the night was shrouded all of a sudden, splashing on the ground like ink, and the whole Yunjin City fell silent, in order to welcome the carnival-like feast of tomorrow.
Yun Zhibai opened his eyes, woke up from his sleep, and found that the ever-bright lamp had been turned on, and looked out the window again, the sky was completely dark, Xi Niang was sitting at the desk, seeing that Yun Zhibai was awake, she hurriedly helped him out of bed, sat down in front of the table, and handed him a bowl of sobering tea, "Zhibai, drink this quickly, wake up, you don't drink alcohol on weekdays, and if you drink so much at once, your body can't bear it for a while." ”
Yun Zhibai only felt a headache now, he hurriedly took the sobering tea in Xi Yan's hand, drank a few sips, Xi Niang took away the plate that was upside down on the dish, "I haven't cooked for a month, and I don't know if this craft is rusty, let's eat some food, so that my stomach is more comfortable." ”
"Lady, you're still going to cook, why don't you wait for me to wake up and do these jobs again, oops, why did I fall asleep all of a sudden, look at how many things I missed!" Yun Zhibai knocked on his head and looked at Xiyan with a distressed expression.
"Zhibai, what are you polite to me, by the way, did you say hello to Dean Xu, when will you go to Baishan Academy?" Xiyan sandwiched a piece of chicken and put it in Zhibai's rice bowl, thinking that Zhibai was going to class, and suddenly felt that he had no appetite.
"Xiyan, I told Dean Xu that tomorrow I will go to Yunjin City to get some medicine for my grandfather and send it to the post station, and I will go the day after tomorrow." Yun Zhibai saw that Xiyan was pulling the rice and had no appetite, knowing that she was reluctant to him, he sighed and comforted him softly, "Xiyan, I know that you are reluctant to me, then there is no way, you have to beg for a living, don't worry, I will discuss with Dean Xu to see if my afternoon class can be adjusted forward, so that I can come back early in the evening." ”
"Well, okay, don't worry about me and the child, just get along with you day and night for so a month, and you suddenly leave during the day, I'm really reluctant, don't mention this to Dean Xu, wait for those old gentlemen to say that you rely on your relationship to go through the back door!" Okay, let's eat! Xiyan rubbed his slightly reddened eyes and looked at Zhibai, it was enough for him to have this heart, what else could he ask for? Take good care of the child at home, wait for him to come back every day, and he will have a hot meal to eat when he comes back, and this is enough.
"Okay, lady, you can eat more, our good days are still ahead! This Xi'er is growing up day by day, and it will be much better when she can walk, don't worry about me, you take good care of yourself and your children at home! Yun Zhibai piled all the good dishes into Xiyan's rice bowl, Xiyan and Yun Zhibai glanced at Xi'er who was sleeping, looked at each other and smiled, the light of the ever-bright lamp illuminated Yun Zhibai and Xiyan's faces red, warm and bright.
When the first rooster crow sounded in the chicken pen, Yun Zhibai got up gently, he walked out of the yard door, and after washing up, he took the bag and went out, and saw the neighbors on the road from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward and nodded, "Aunt Gongsun, Zhao Dalang, Yang Sanlang, Chu Yue, Shen Luo, I was really sorry yesterday, I don't know how I fell asleep later!" ”
"Mr. Yun, you're welcome, by the way, Mr. Yun, you go to the house and take the yellow book of you and Xi Niang, and talk to you in detail on the way." Yun Zhibai saw the anxious appearance of the Gongsun Aunts, hurriedly turned around and sped up his pace to go home and took the yellow book, and walked on the road to listen to the Gongsun Aunties talk about meeting Zhou Lao yesterday.
"This General Mo is really generous, so many people, how many things do you have to send!" Aunt Gongsun remembered the scene she heard from Zhou Lao yesterday, and she sent some good things, but General Mo is a big celebrity around the emperor today, these things are a drop in the bucket for him, but for the common people, they are a big reward.
Gongsun Auntie, you came to the city gate with a word, and saw that there had never been such a long queue in front of the city gate, and the queue had been lined up until a long distance from the city gate, Gongsun Auntie and Yang Sanlang They could only put down the burden they were carrying and lined up.
"It's so early today, and we usually come at this time, and there aren't so many people queuing!" Aunt Gongsun patted a lady in line in front of her, "Auntie, hello, I asked you about something, what's going on in front of you, why are there so many people today?"
The eldest lady in front turned around and saw that they didn't know, she immediately chattered, "Oh, you don't know, this was not the full moon day of the child in General Mo's Mansion yesterday, it would have been good for the General's Mansion to send a day of free things last night, but last night many people lined up and didn't get it, so they chattered, and those guards saw this, and quickly whipped back to the General's Mansion to resume their lives, and the general of the General's Mansion said that it was three days old, and you can see that the notices at the gate of the city have been posted, so everyone knows, No one will gossip in the future, it's not early in the morning, everyone came to line up, I heard that today's things are better than yesterday, but I came before dawn, but it's a pity, a family can only receive one thing. The eldest lady looked ahead with expectant eyes, and everyone saw the smile on the eldest mother's face, and they were inexplicably infected with joy by the eldest mother.
