Yulin Fort, the circumference of the whole city is more than 2,000 meters, covers an area of about 244 acres, east of Badaling, west of Kangxi grassland, is an ancient post station built in the Yuan Dynasty, because of the old elm forest and got the name. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it is in the middle of the Juyong Post and the Civil Engineering Station, and has a variety of functions such as transmitting information and receiving past officials.
The geographical location of Yulin Fort is very important, since ancient times, it has been an important strategic fortress and post station, and it integrates politics, military and economy. Yulin Fort, together with Tumu Fort and Jimingyi, form the three major forts in Beijing.
Yulinbao post city business, grain shop, oil mill, cloth shop, tea shop, winery, restaurant in a forest, Yulinyi past the car many, errand many, garrison many, every day in Yulinyi just eat in Yulinyi there are thousands of people, which shows the degree of economic prosperity.
Guan Wang's family went like this, and according to the law, Guan Shanyue was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for three years. After convincing his little daughter-in-law Zhao Ruixue, he sold the house in his hometown, and opened a road guide in the county with his identity as a showman, with twenty taels of silver in his arms, and the two traveled long distances to Yulinbao, wanting to see if they could find a trace of business opportunities in this place where businessmen gathered.
Guan Shanyue and Zhao Ruixue rented a small room in the lonely old lady Wang's house, and the husband and son of the old lady Wang died in the Tatar disturbance border rebellion, and it was pitiful enough to be alone.
After Zhao Ruixue, who couldn't stay idle, came, not only cleaned up her room, but even the entire yard was also cleaned up in an orderly manner, and this dead and silent family finally had a trace of vitality.
Guan Shanyue walked around Yulinbao Yicheng Street for a few days in a row, thinking that it was easy to find a living with her modern mind, but no one thought that she could collect useful information.
Zhao Ruixue refused to sit and eat empty, so she started to make a living washing clothes in the oil mill again, although she was bitter and tired every day, but with the input, her heart was steady.
Zhao Ruixue is diligent with her hands and feet, not only does she only wash clothes, but if anyone's clothes are torn, she will sew them for free if she is kind. Guan Shanyue joked that she was stupid, and Xiao Nizi smiled innocently, thinking that this group of oil mill laborers were all from a hard life and were too pitiful, she just took some more time to prevaricate.
Zhao Ruixue's sewing of each piece of clothing is very dense, and he will find the same cloth head according to the color of the clothes to make up, if he can't find the same, he will also find a cloth head of a similar color to make up.
But all the clothes that have been taken care of by Zhao Ruixue's skillful hands, worn by the workers of the oil mill, are broken in new places, and the patches and holes she has sewn will not be opened, and if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see that it is a sewn and repaired garment.
Good intentions will always be rewarded, and the name of Zhao Ruixue, a kind and good girl, spread among the poor haha in a few days. Now not only the clothes of the oil mill are washed by her, but even the clothes of local workers in the wine mills, restaurants, grain shops and other places are willing to be sent to her to wash.
Sometimes, Zhao Ruixue couldn't be busy alone, Guan Shanyue couldn't bear to see her so tired, and wanted to help her several times, either she was "stingy" into the house to read, or drove him to the street to find a living. In order to make Guan Shanyue desperate for the work of these women, she pulled Aunt Wang into the gang.
Aunt Wang's female celebrity is not under Zhao Ruixue, and the experienced Aunt Wang has given her a lot of suggestions, so that her skills will only rise. The two of them get along very well, and they are working under the big tree in the yard while laughing, if they don't know, they really think they are their own mothers.
On this day, Guan Shanyue was bored wandering around the Yulinbao Post City, hoping that a big pie would fall from the sky and kill herself. He had seen the resale of cloth, grain, and medicinal herbs...... There are no less than ten industries, although each industry is very profitable, but each of them requires a lot of capital, which is not something he can afford.
And now in this world, although there is also a profitable business, it is monopolized by the gentry and magnates, and it is not his turn to be a poor talent.
Just as Guan Shanyue lowered his head and pondered, he found that an old farmer in a cloth coat in front of him bent down and picked up a brocade wallet. The old farmer opened it and looked at it, his face was shocked, the wallet was bulging with more than ten taels of silver, and the exaggerated expression of the old farmer was not only these stocks, but also other valuables.
Guan Shanyue secretly sighed that the old farmer was lucky, if it was put to this point, it would definitely be a porcelain, and he would have stayed away from it a long time ago. If someone else is different, he must have stepped forward to share these windfalls with the old farmer, but he smiled slightly and turned around and walked away.
At this moment, a sweaty businessman with a fat brain and a gorgeous food jacket hurriedly walked to the old farmer, pointed to the wallet in his hand and shouted anxiously: "Oh, this wallet is mine, I have been looking for it so hard, I have searched for half of Yulinbao Post City, it turned out to be you!" Uncle, give it back to me quickly, I will take out two taels of silver to thank you. ”
The old farmer hurriedly took a step back, with a cautious face, "What you say is yours is yours?" Tell me what's here, if it's right, it's yours, if not, it's definitely not yours. ”
The fat-headed and big-eared businessman thought that the old man was thinking about his money, and his face was reluctant, "You old man is really interesting, I will tell you." I said you check, but you have to check it. There were twelve taels of silver and five taels of gold in the purse, and a pair of fine agate, and nothing but these. I'm here to do the goods, am I right? ”
The old farmer almost looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was not bad, "Yes, yes, it's all right, it's yours, and I'll give it back to you!" With a laugh, he returned the money bag to the fat-headed and big-eared businessman.
The merchant took the money bag and didn't even say a word of thanks, opened the wallet in front of the old farmer and checked it.
The old peasant's face suddenly became very ugly, and he said with a gloomy face: "Hmph, if I had ignored your money, I would have run away with your wallet a long time ago, and I would still be waiting for you here?" If you don't want to give those two taels of silver, just forget it, who do you think of my old farmer? ”
The fat-headed and big-eared businessman found that he had a lot of money after checking it, and now that the wallet was in his hand, he was really reluctant to take out the two taels of silver, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly shouted: "Hey, old man, why is the jade wrench I have here gone, you don't have a conscience, you give it back to me?" ”
The black-faced old man's anger and blood surged, and he almost didn't come up in one breath, and fell to the joint, "You...... You...... You, why are you spewing blood, I've been standing here waiting for you, your conscience has been eaten by dogs, right? ”
The fat-headed and big-eared merchant also opened his eyes angrily, pointed at the old farmer's nose and scolded: "Who knows if you just put my jade wrench back at home, if I hadn't been caught, you would have returned the wallet to me, who can prove that you are innocent, empty words, just because you have a red mouth and white teeth standing here to say?" ”
"Which handsome little brother has been standing there watching, he can prove my innocence, don't spew blood!" The old farmer pointed to Guan Shanyue, who was leaning against the tree.
…………
…………
The two of you say a word, the louder it is, the louder it is, and the more noisy it is, the more powerful it is.
At this time, the passers-by gathered more and more, and gradually surrounded the two, standing there and pointing, some said that the old peasants were greedy for money, some said that the businessmen were shameless, in short, there was everything.
Guan Shanyue was bored, and felt that it was interesting to stand next to the tree and watch the excitement, the whole thing was all in his eyes, and he scolded secretly that it was really no treacherous businessman, this fat-headed and big-eared businessman is really not a thing.
At this moment, I didn't know that the red scarf had reported to the official, and a catcher with a knife came, "Two, don't quarrel, the county master is invited, let's go in the yamen!" ”
