Chapter 6: Leaving the Village
If you have money, of course, you should find a restaurant right away and fill your stomach first.
For Yang Dewen's proposal, Yurong and the second grandfather have no opinion, with a net worth of more than 3,000 taels of silver, who will have a hard time with their stomachs.
I found a restaurant nearby, what is expensive to order, but after Lai was on the table, it made Yang Dewen lose his appetite, Lai's materials are good, but the cooking skills of this restaurant are really speechless, except for steaming, it is boiled, in addition to stewing, it is still stewed.
Let's not talk about these, no soy sauce, no vinegar. Don't think about chili peppers, it seems that the salt taste is not enough, it is called the best wine, Taocheng brewing, it is said that it is very famous in Mingzhou, and it has also become a tribute wine and has entered the palace.
Keyang Devin only took a sip, and he didn't want to drink it, not to mention that the wine was turbid, and there was a sour smell when he drank it, and the wine tasted light.
Yang Dewen thought about it, this ancient environment is really a treasure land for travelers! Whatever you invent, the silver is enough to earn you a soft hand!
Yang Dewen pondered, the small mountain village can't go back, in case that day, the moon is dark and the wind is high, Yurong's real husband, also named Yang Dewen, suddenly returned home in the dark, and found himself, who was hugging the lady in his name, and was sleeping on the bed, it would be easy to cause a bloody case.
"Lady, why don't we go to Taocheng Town and buy some good land, Yangshan Village is too remote." Yang Dewen proposed.
"Stinky boy, just a little money, even the ancestors don't want to recognize it, there are a lot of good land around Yangshan Village, in such a disaster year, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy land, you have to go to the town to buy it!" The second grandfather said with anger and trembling beard.
"Second grandfather, don't get excited! Isn't it true that the younger generation will continue to study, so that he can raise people in the exam as soon as possible, and then enter Beijing to take the top prize or something?
Isn't it convenient to live in the city to study and communicate with readers? One day, if you win the champion or jinshi, won't it also add glory to Yangshan Village? Yang Dewen explained with a busy smile.
Yang Dewen said this, the second grandfather didn't know what to say, Yangshan Village is such a scholar as him, and he can produce such a talent, which is already very good, if he can produce a jinshi, or champion, it is tantamount to a matter of glory to the ancestors.
"Otherwise, you won't be short of money anyway, and it won't be long before you buy a carriage and run around town." The second grandfather still felt that the environment in Yangshan Village was good, and planned to persuade Yang Dewen to dispel the idea of leaving Yangshan Village.
"Second grandfather, my mother has endured hardships and stood hard work all her life, doesn't she just want Xianggong to study and test his fame and get ahead?
My mother said before her death that if she could go to live in a big city, it would be of great benefit to Xianggong's study, but the family was too poor to have this condition.
Now that Xianggong has enough money, there is nothing wrong with going to Mingzhou City to buy a house, and it is not that he will not return to Yangshan Village in the future. Yurong also said supportively.
The second grandfather saw that Yurong didn't object, so he couldn't say anything, although the two families were very close, they were just a better relationship, but they had no right to interfere with his husband and wife's decision.
When I went back, the ox cart was full of bags of grain, and some meat, these things seemed to be a lot, but they didn't send a few dollars, if the ox cart could pull more, buy more, Yang Dewen would not feel sorry for this money.
When he returned to the village, the weather was already very late, and Yang Dewen generously asked the second grandfather to find someone to inform some farmers who were particularly difficult and had helped their family, and each family was given some grain and meat.
After all, it is all from a village, and now that Yang Dewen has this ability, he is still willing to help everyone.
Yang Dewen disappeared in Yangshan Village for half a year, and the people in the village didn't expect that he would suddenly make a lot of money and come back, although the food everyone got was not much, but it was a life-saving ration!
After returning home, they didn't bother to cook dinner anymore, the two ate some dry food brought back from the town, washed up and rested, and the matter of sharing a room with Yurong could only be thought about in their hearts for the time being.
I went to the town and forgot about buying lamp oil.
The next day's breakfast was made by Yurong, and Leiri really didn't have anything except a little salt.
"Xianggong, do you plan to go to Mingzhou, or do you just buy a house in Taocheng Town and concentrate on studying." After Yu Rong finished eating, she asked Yang Dewen.
"I haven't thought about it yet, or we will go to Mingzhou together as a husband and wife, and it will be convenient to take the state exam in the future." Yang Devon said,
"Shall I go too? So what about the family, don't we really plan to go back to the village in the future? Yurong didn't expect that the Xiang Guild would be willing to take her with her.
The former Xianggong once told her that in the future, he would be admitted to the top of the scholars, he would enter the court as an official, and the woman he wanted to marry would also be a famous lady, at least a daughter.
"Of course, you are my lady, I am your father-in-law, don't you want to be with your father-in-law?" Yang Devin said.
In any case, Yang Dewen decided to leave Yangshan Village, as an impostor. Staying in Yangshan Village really made him feel very insecure.
"As for this family, we can pay for the second grandfather to find someone to rebuild this thatched house into a brick house, which can be regarded as indirect relief, the villagers in the village."
Xianggong wants to take her to Mingzhou together, Yurong can't object, and she won't object, although the two have not yet had a round house, but the name of the husband and wife has already been decided. She promised her mother that she would serve her husband well and add branches and leaves to the Yang family, and she would definitely do it.
Yang Dewen left two hundred taels of silver to the second grandfather, and the second grandfather resolutely refused to accept it at first, and the cost of a brick house would not exceed fifty taels of silver, but Yang Dewen still insisted on giving it.
If there is no help from the second grandfather, Yurong's life may be even more difficult, Yang Dewen is not a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and with the experience of pawning the renminbi, two hundred taels of silver said to him, there is no need to take it seriously.
It was still the second grandfather who drove the ox cart and slowly left Yangshan Village, Yurong has lived in Yangshan Village since she was a child, although she knows that Yangshan Village is not her hometown, but she still has inseparable feelings, and there is mist in her eyes.
Yang Dewen has no feelings for Yangshan Village, and he walks with peace of mind and is very free and easy.
The second grandfather didn't seem to have much to say, just warned Yang Dewen that when he went out, try not to provoke right and wrong, and what wealth would not be revealed, and after he became a big official in the future, don't forget to go back to the village to have a look.
Wealth does not return to the hometown, like a night walk in clothes. The important thing is that you don't leave Yurong alone at home again and disappear for half a year.
Yang Dewen could only promise to agree, what the old man said was what he said, he was not so stupid as to worry about anything with the old man. Not to mention arguing.
