"I really didn't expect that a jade bracelet could be worth so many silver taels, I thought I could exchange it for a tael of silver at most, how could I exchange it for so much?" Yun Shan held the cloth bag in her hand, she still couldn't suppress her joy, and said in a slightly trembling voice, when she was a young lady in the past, these bracelet hairpins were just worn casually, and there were a lot of such precious jewelry at home, and she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't expect these jewelry to really be exchanged for so many silver taels, and now that she is a common person, she knows that her livelihood is difficult.

"I don't know, the pawn shop Boss Shen looked at the jade bracelet carefully, stretched out four fingers, I had a plan, I thought about saying that the number four is unlucky, so I stretched out five fingers, I thought it was five dollars, but I didn't expect that he actually took five silver to me, hey, I knew that I could get one more silver by stretching out one more finger, I stretched out six fingers, but it's a pity." Yun Zhibai sat on the chair and excitedly described to the two of them about today's pawn shop, and the two of them were also excited.

"I estimate that this is worth five taels of silver, if you increase the price, I guess Boss Shen is not willing, okay, Zhibai, you did a very good job today, tell us again, what good things did you buy for Yun Shan." Xiyan looked at Yun Zhibai with a smile, and couldn't help but be happy when he saw him talking like a child.

"I carried the five taels of silver in my arms, and went straight to the table and chair shop, Yun Xiaoniang, I can go to a lot of homes, this big object, must have to shop around, there is a beautiful workmanship, it is too expensive, I will not be too far, and then go to several for you, and finally choose a few cheap tables and chairs for you, a table for eating, and a small desk, put small objects, can be used as a dresser, and two chairs, I estimate that you and the child are enough, by the way, and I also pulled a lot of thick cloth for you, I also bought these small things for you, pots and pans, by the way, it is the cold time, and the iron smoker is actually quite expensive to buy now, but I think about it, the weather is getting colder and colder, you and the child are sleeping there and are really cold panic, I thought about it for a long time, or bought one for you, I bought you two thick quilts, an iron smoker and two bedding, this winter can not freeze you, by the way, you said that you want to plant some vegetables in the yard, and those vegetable seeds were also bought. Yun Zhibai said such a long list of words in one breath, and he was a little out of breath, Yun Shan saw this, and hurriedly poured Yun Zhibai a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

"So, I know that Mr. Yun is a careful person, I ask you to help me buy things, it seems that I really trust the right person, now I can live in my dilapidated house, I can live in a person, settle down, it's too troublesome for you, Mr. Yun, I haven't had lunch yet, Xi Niang and I haven't eaten yet, I've been waiting for you to come back, Xi Niang, you sit here with Mr. Yun, I'll go and cook a few meals for you."

Saying that, Yun Shan got up and wanted to go to the kitchen in the courtyard, Xiyan immediately held her down when she saw this, "You helped burn it this morning, how can there be any reason for you to cook at noon, you are a guest, how can there be a guest to cook, okay, Yun Shan, you just sit here, or, Zhibai, you take Yun Shan back to see if it is okay to take those desks, if not, you can help Yun Shan move the position, you go to see it first, and then come over to eat." ”

"That's okay, take advantage of this free time to clean up Yun Shan's side, Yun Shan, then let's go to your house first." Saying that, Yun Zhibai picked up Yun Jinxi, Yun Shan picked up Yun Zhiyan, and the four of them walked to the broken house on the east side.

Waiting for Yun Shan to walk in front of the broken house, no, it should be said that it is not a broken house, yesterday afternoon when Aunt Gongsun and Yun Zhibai cleaned up, Yun Shan did not come, she walked into the yard, the weeds in the yard have all been bulldozed, as soon as the weeds are flattened, it seems that the whole yard is very big, she looked at the house again, only to see that the tiles leaking above have been repaired by Yun Zhibai with new tiles, and when she walked into the house, a big and bright paper window was horizontal in front of her, she hurriedly stepped forward and touched the paper window and opened the window, The sunlight came in all of a sudden, and the whole room seemed warm and bright, she turned her head to Yun Zhibai and said, "Mr. Yun, this window is so good, now you don't have to live in the dark anymore." ”

"Yes, how can you do without a window on all sides of this house, we deliberately take a window on the west side, first, the sun shines for a long time, and secondly, this window is leeward, when the wind is strong, the wind can't blow in, and when there is sun, but when it is cold outside, you and the child sit on the small chair in this house to bask in the sun, but it is warm, besides, the sun is good for the child's body." Yun Zhibai looked at the desk again, and said to Yun Shan, "Yun Xiaoniang, you see how this desk is placed here, it is placed under this window, and it is close to your bed, you can take anything easily, this light is good, and you can dress up brightly on weekdays." ”

"Mr. Yun is really thoughtful, I'm almost half an old, what else are you dressing, just put it here, block the window, and save the children from taking advantage of my inattention, and it is also very dangerous to climb the window." Yun Shan touched the desk, it was not a first-class product, but it was not very inferior, it was a very good and inexpensive table.

"By the way, Yun Xiaoniang, if I have time in the afternoon, I will help you and Zhao Dalang and a few of them to build a simple kitchen outside the courtyard, and you can see which position you are in to set up." After Yun Shan and Yun Zhibai discussed the location, they saw that the smoke of Xiyan's house had risen, and the two of them walked to Yun's house again.

Yun Zhibai went to call Aunt Gongsun and them to have lunch together, as soon as he saw Aunt Gongsun and them, Yun Shan immediately smiled and thanked them, "It was inconvenient for me to take the child yesterday, I didn't go back to take a look, I just went to see Mr. Yun, I don't call it a broken house, it can be called a new house, you have helped me pull out so many weeds in the yard, I was really tired of you yesterday." ”

"Yun Shan, look at you, what are you polite, you, just as polite as Xiyan, we are all people who go to the field to farm on weekdays, so a little work is nothing to us, just now Mr. Yun has already told us, when we finish lunch, we will go together to build a cook for you, I heard Mr. Yun say that you want to grow some vegetables, then I will go back to the field and pick up some soil for you to come over and spread it in your yard, and you can just sow the vegetable seeds." Aunt Gongsun waved her hand at Yun Shan, this Yun Shan is exactly the same as Xiyan, she always feels embarrassed about the help of others, what is this busyness, it is all the fate of neighbors and cultivators in her previous life.

"Then thank you even more Aunt Gongsun, it's really hard for you." Yun Shan replied with a smile, seeing that Aunt Gongsun was teasing Yun Zhiyan there, she hurriedly raised her feet and went to the kitchen to help Xi Yan, Xi Yan saw Yun Shan coming, and said with a smile, "How about it, those things that Zhibai bought for you are satisfactory." ”

"The things that Mr. Yun helped me buy are so good, if I go to buy them myself, where can I buy these good things, so many things cost a little silver taels, it means, I guess this Mr. Yun must be very good on weekdays, and those bosses can get some good and cheap things for Mr. Yun." Yun Shan thought about it carefully, according to the current prices, how could Yun Zhibai buy so many things with so many silver taels, and not a single tael of silver was used.

"I guess they all want to rely on Zhibai to get a place in Baishan Academy, so they will all give Zhibai a little cheaper, if someone else buys it for you, it's really more than that." Xiyan said that she kept chopping meat in her hands, and she worked neatly, and in less than a while, she cut all the dishes and prepared them.

Yun Shan sat under the stove and added fire to it, raised her head and asked suspiciously, "Is there a shortage of places in Baishan Academy?" Why do those people have to go to Baishan Academy to study, aren't there many private schools in the people now?"

"Tell you secretly, don't say it outside, this year's imperial examination, Baishan Academy's question is the most powerful, I can't tell why, so in the past two years, these are those sons and daughters who want to go to Baishan Academy, there are really a lot, and yes, Dean Xu is Zhibai's uncle, and it is estimated that those vendors also fancy this, thinking that they can go through the back door, then Zhibai must help them pay attention to it, as for the entrance exam, then Zhibai can't help." Xiyan poured a large bowl of pork into the pot and fried it, and the aroma of the meat floated out as it stirred, making people salivate.

"I've signed up, and there is even a recruitment exam, it seems that this is really strict." Yun Shan remembered that when she was young, she had never been to the school, and her father invited the teacher to come to teach her, but it was just to teach some simple poems and songs.

"That's not, if the entrance exam is simple, then there are too many students in Baishan Academy, and those teachers can't be busy, when it comes to enrollment every year, Zhibai comes back late every night, and he's very busy, those stall vendors have little knowledge in their lives, of course, they also want their children to be able to enter Baishan Academy, in the imperial examination, they can be admitted to a petty official county order or something in the future, and they can glorify their ancestors, you know, Baishan Academy has always recruited young ladies and sons of high-ranking officials and nobles, children of the common people, They didn't recruit before, but there was a Tuo Zhibai who went in, and the results have been very good, and in this year's imperial examination, maybe they can get a petty official, so these stall vendors are so good to Zhibai, because they want to do things with Zhibai. ”
