The group didn't know what these two people were thinking, and they didn't know any changes in them, they were just hurrying on the road, who would pay attention to these things.

On the way back, Li Yan gave each person a silver ticket, basically Tang Shishi, Liu Yiyi and others, each of whom had one hundred taels of silver tickets. Even the coachmen were twenty taels of silver each.

Li Yan sent the silver into the hands of these people, and these people were all happy to close their mouths. Basically, he smiled and laughed at Li Yan, and he was also very affinity for Li Yan, and he liked it in his heart. Although along the way, Li Yan also cared about them very much, but he only cared about them, and there was no substantive reward, and the substantive reward they needed most was nothing more than money.

For these people who have abandoned their dignity, it is a very hard thing to go to a rich family, or a family to serve others. And what are they doing it for? It's nothing more than for money, they are all poor families, for themselves or for their families, to do this business, just to earn a little money, so that they and their families can live a better life. Or just earn a little money, marry a wife, have children, and start a family.

These people belonged to the lowest level of the society, and the society divided these into five classes: soldiers, farmers, workers, merchants, and slaves. But they are often farmers and traders, but there are no slaves, and that is because these people are not regarded as human beings, or they are simply ignored.

In the period of slave society, it was the full-time work of slaves who served people. Although it is not the period of slave society, the profession of serving people is similar to that of slavery, but it is a little different: the owner cannot sell his subordinates, and he cannot harm his life privately. And if you don't want to do it, you can take the money and leave.

But as long as the owner is unhappy, he can beat you, he can scold you, he can not give you food, he can not give you wages. These are not very different from the nature of slavery.

So for these people, the most important thing is two things: first, as long as you respect him and understand him, just like you are considerate of your own children, they will also respect you very much. Second, the purpose of their business is to make money. If they can get paid on time every month, or give more children, they will work harder and do things more seriously.

Of course, if you only care, respect, and don't pay on time, or deduct your wages, they will dig you up and you don't even know your mother.

In other words, these people are ordinary people, ordinary people are farmers, they have such a simple heart, that is, they belong to the peasants. They don't have the treacherous talents of merchants, they don't have the lofty goals of the scholars, they just want to live a better life.

Therefore, the true and simple heart expressed by these simple people from the heart is the most direct and pure.

And their monthly salary is only two or three taels, and Li Yan directly gave them twenty taels of silver each, which is equivalent to their salary for more than half a year. Do you think they can be unhappy?

In addition to these happy people, Wen Monkey, Wen Jing and Wang Yan are also happy. Because they've never seen so much money before. Wang Yan belongs to the countryside, and her annual income is almost more than ten points of silver. And Wen Jing and Wen Monkey are also from the countryside, but because their families sometimes buy a little bit of things in the city, they have a little more money than ordinary people, and they have an income of about twenty taels of silver a year.

But what is the concept of a hundred taels? This one hundred taels of silver is equivalent to their income for more than ten years. And in the past ten years, they have to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and work tirelessly to have this hundred taels of silver. If there is a natural disaster or insect plague in any year, they will be busy in vain, with nothing, and it is possible that food and clothing are a problem.

However, now it is just Li Yan who gave it to them, and he asked for a hundred taels casually, which made it a little difficult for them to accept. When Li Yanba handed them the silver ticket, they were directly startled, and then shook their heads like rattles, don't fail to answer. But in the end, under Li Yan's toughness, he took over.

And after the three of them took the hundred taels, they were a little overwhelmed, and they didn't know what to buy and what to do with them, because they had never seen so much money.

Not to mention that they haven't seen it, even Li Yan has never seen so much money. However, Li Yan was not so happy with them, so overwhelmed. You must know that Li Yan has more places to use money.

The first is to buy them a house to live in, the second is the furniture, etc., and the third is their daily expenses, all three of which require a lot of money.

Let's take buying a residence as an example, a better house in the county town is a thousand taels. If you want a garden or something, it will cost three or four thousand taels. If it's like the Tang Mansion, hehe, if you don't have thirty or forty thousand taels, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it, this is still the lowest price. Not to mention Gaofu, there are pools and rockeries like Gaofu, and the minimum is 50,000 taels.

So don't look at Li Yan's money, except for seven divided by eight, there are not a few left. At that time, it will not be once again before liberation.

As a result, the rest of the people were thanked by Li Yan one after another, and they didn't say anything, after all, these people are rich people, and one hundred taels is just pocket money for them to spend one or two months outside.

Everyone in the house was speechless, and after returning to the county seat directly, they said goodbye and returned to their respective homes.

And Wen Jing, Wen Monkey and Wang Yan, because they had no residence in this county town and no relatives, could only follow Li Yan and Tang Shishi to live in the Tang Mansion.

After Li Yan and the others entered the city, he asked Chen Meng to inform Tang Liwen and Li Yushi, saying that they were back.

Tang Shishi's original plan was to surprise one of them, but it was rejected by Li Yan. Li Yan said that it would be better to notify you.

Soon after everyone entered the city, they arrived at the Tang Mansion. At the gate of the Tang Mansion at this time, Li Yushi waited here with a few subordinates, and Tang Liwen was not seen among them, obviously Tang Liwen was still in the mansion at this time and did not come back.

Li Yan and the others walked to Li Yushi's side, Tang Shishi and Tang Lan quickly got off the carriage, came to Li Yushi's face, and threw themselves directly into Li Yushi's arms, and said coquettishly: "Mother (aunt), I miss you so much." ”

After receiving Chen Meng's notice, Li Yushi came out of the hall directly and came to the gate to wait. Soon after he came out, he saw two young men on horseback and a carriage not far away. When Li Yushi saw this, she finally felt relieved in her heart.

Soon after Li Yan and the others left, Li Yushi began to worry about them, although he knew how far the journey was and how many days it would take. But I'm still very worried inside, so the more time passes, the more worried I am in my heart. After all, no matter from ancient times to the present, every child goes far away, and parents are very worried. The so-called hearts of parents all over the world.

When Li Yan and the others came to him, the worry in Li Yushi's heart slowly let go. After seeing Tang Shishi and Tang Lan quickly get off the carriage, throw themselves into their arms and be coquettish, caressing their hair dotingly, and said angrily: "How old are you, still coquettish." ”

Although he said so, the expression on his face and the movements on his hands were full of doting.

Li Yan and Tang Xiu got off the horse and came to Li Yushi, and shouted at Li Yushi in a dirty body: "Uncle Tang (aunt)." ”

Li Yushi heard the voices of Li Yan and Tang Xiu and nodded. When he saw that the two of them were all dirty, he smiled slightly and quipped, "What are you two doing?" He also got mud on his body, did he fall from riding a horse? ”

Tang Xiu heard Li Yushi's joke, and immediately said with a smile: "That's not it, we did it by camping outside last night." ”

"Camping?" When Li Yushi heard Tang Xiu's words, she glanced at Li Yan and Tang Xiu strangely, and asked incomprehensibly, "How did you camp last night?" According to this time, you should live in Pingyao City, how can you camp? ”

Tang Xiu heard Li Yushi's question, and was about to answer immediately, but was pulled by Li Yan, and Tang Shishi and Tang Lan glared at her, because she knew that this was a reminder to him, don't talk more, so she just shut up and stopped talking.

Li Yushi saw that Tang Xiu shut up and didn't speak, where did she not know the small movements of the three of them, and was about to ask something, Tang Shishi hurriedly said: "Okay, mother, I'll talk about this later, don't you see that there are still guests here?" Is it necessary to let them stand here? ”

When Li Yushi heard Tang Shishi's words, she didn't say anything. He shifted his gaze to Wen Jing, Wen Monkey and Wang Yan, who got off the carriage, looked up and down, and saw that the three of them were dressed in cloth clothes, and they were not very old, so they smiled and said, "What are the three of you?" ”

"Oh, they eat." Tang Xiu, who was originally silent, heard Li Yushi ask Wen Jing about them, so he said again: "They are Fa Xiao who grew up with Brother Yan, these two beautiful and moving young ladies are Wen Jing and Wang Yan respectively, this is the little brother is Wen Hou, we all call him a monkey." Wen Jing is his sister. ”

"We went to Brother Yan's house this time, but something happened and we can't go back now, so we came to stay at our house for a few days."

After Tang Xiu finished speaking enthusiastically, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, looked around, and saw Li Yushi, Li Yan and the others all looked at him speechlessly.

When Tang Xiu saw this, he asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?" ”

When everyone heard Tang Xiu's question, they all looked blank and he didn't say anything.

After Li Yushi glanced at it speechlessly, she looked at Wen Jing., Wen Hou, and Wang Yan and said with a warm smile: "Hehe, it turns out that Fa Xiao, who grew up with Li Yan. Since I can't go home, I just live in the house for a few days, and during the time when Shishi and Li Yan are gone, the house is really deserted, and it just so happens that I can be active and active now. Tomorrow, let Shishi and them take you to familiarize yourself with the county town. ”

When Li Yushi said this, she looked at Wen Jing and the other three.

Wen Jing and the others nodded without any opinion when they heard Li Yushi's words.

When Li Yushi saw this, she looked at everyone and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, I know you haven't had lunch yet, it just so happens that I have just started to eat, wait for the kitchen to fry a few dishes, and at noon, I will personally cook for you and treat you in the evening." I know you must be missing the food at home when you're outside. ”

"You can tell from the faces that you are all a little thinner that you don't eat well."

As soon as Li Yushi's voice fell, Tang Shishi, Tang Xiu, Tang Lan and Li Yan and other four people all showed a green light like a hungry tiger.

Tang Xiu was the first to howl: "Don't talk about lunch, we haven't even eaten breakfast, I'm almost starving to death now." ”

When Li Yushi heard Tang Xiu's words, she looked at everyone, and when she saw that everyone nodded, she had no choice but to say helplessly: "Then you can eat more later." Let's go in first. ”

After speaking, Li Yushi took the lead in entering, and Li Yan and others followed.

And the things they brought out and the things they brought back were all handed over to those subordinates to take care of.

After Wang Yan and Wen Jing, the brother and sister, entered the Tang Mansion, they were both amazed by the scene inside.

When they entered the gate, they saw cauliflower trees. It's not spring at this time, and it's only been about 20 days of summer not long ago. However, in the courtyard now, there are still a hundred flowers, roses, tulips, peonies and so on are still blooming, and it is not at all like it has also passed through the spring season. In addition to the blooming flowers, the different varieties of trees in the yard are also leafy.

These are not too impressive, they are mainly amazed by the size of the yard. And in these courtyards, there are many pavilions and pavilions.

When Wen Monkey saw this, he was amazed: "Wow, this is too big, right?" It turned out that what I saw in Pingyao City was a bit of a trivial feeling. How much does it cost to repair such a mansion? ”

"And look at these flowers and trees, they are not ordinary varieties, they have passed the flowering period at this time, and they are still blooming."

"Hehe, this mansion was given to my uncle by the Holy God today, so I don't know how much it was worth when it was cultivated. And these flowers and plants in this yard are the latest varieties, and they are also brought from the city to plant. “

"So it's still open in this season, otherwise how could those ordinary varieties still be open in this season. Therefore, adding up all these flowers and trees, this mansion should be worth 40,000 taels of silver, which is still the lowest estimate. Tang Xiu saw that Wen Monkey looked like he had never seen the world, and when he heard his words, he explained it to him.

Whether it was Wen Monkey, Wen Jing or Wang Yan, when they heard Tang Xiu's words, they all couldn't close their mouths in shock. They didn't expect that this mansion was worth 40,000 taels of silver. What is the concept of 40,000 taels of silver, you must know that their family's income is only more than 10 taels of silver a year, and it is only more than 1,000 taels in a hundred years. In other words, they had to live for 4,000 years to earn so much money, and they had to live without eating or drinking.

And what shocked them even more was that this mansion was actually given by the current Tang Emperor, which means that the Tang family has a sacred heart to have this honor.

And Li Yan was not surprised when he heard Tang Xiu's words, because he had estimated the value of the Tang Mansion, which was similar to what Tang Xiu said.

However, in the amazement of the three of them, the group walked quickly in the courtyard and came to the restaurant. At this time, there are only two side dishes and a bowl of white rice on the table.

Tang Shishi, who entered the room, saw the food on the table, looked at Li Yushi, and said with a distressed face: "Mother, why do you only eat a little vegetarian food?" If you don't eat some meat dishes, won't you treat yourself badly?"

"Where?" Li Yushi heard Tang Shishi's words of concern, smiled dotingly at Tang Shishi and said: "I'm alone at home, and if I fry too much and can't finish it, it will be wasted." That's why it's good to eat a little side dish, and your dad will come back in the evening, so he will stir-fry a little more. ”

Tang Shishi heard her mother's words, so she didn't say anything anymore, but she still looked at Li Yushi with a concerned face.

Seeing Tang Shishi like this, Li Yu smiled and said to Li Yan and the others: "Sit down, I have already ordered the kitchen, just wait for a while." ”

"But now everyone is at home, let's talk about it, why camping? It can't be that there is no money, right? Even if you don't have any money, everyone who travels with you should have money. Li Yushi asked the question she wanted to ask just now.

"Well, we still have the money, and not only has it not decreased, but it has increased." As soon as Li Yushi's words fell, Tang Xiu took the lead in speaking.

"The money has not decreased, but has increased? What's going on? When Li Yushi heard Tang Xiu's words, she was even more puzzled.

"Actually, that's what happened." Hearing Li Yushi's question, Li Yan and the others did not speak, but directly handed this over to Tang Xiu, and Tang Xiu also said happily: "Nothing happened all the way, but when I arrived in Pingyao City, something happened.

We arrived in Pingyao City in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, and after arriving in Pingyao City, Brother Yan said that he wanted to go back and have a look, and we also agreed, and we all went together, and this is where things started. ”

Tang Xiu explained what happened next, what Ma Yifei wanted to bully the woman from a good family, what Ma Yifei arrogantly said everything he did, and what drugged those people. What else is the pit horse is expensive, eight thousand taels of silver tickets, etc., all of them are said one by one.

But when he said this, Tang Xiu added a little more fuel and vinegar. This is mainly to boast about how brave he is, how he is not afraid of power, anyway, he praises himself violently. Of course, Li Yan and Yang Liaoxin and others also praised it.

When Tang Xiu was praising this, he spoke very horizontally. I won't praise myself how powerful, but I want to show my worth, and I won't seem so useless. And Li Yan and others were also praised violently. It is to praise a person who is already very powerful. And he was an ordinary person, but he was praised for being a powerful character. Although I still can't compare, it's not bad.

Therefore, in the words of life, praising people is also an art. It is a bit unrealistic to praise a person too well, and to get nothing for a person, or just like the ordinary, it is to pull hatred, so it is necessary to have the technology in place, so that it must be true, and it will not pull hatred.
