Chapter 29: A Special Selling
"Sir, it's time to get up!"
Guo Shi fetched a basin of water from outside the door and put it in the room, walked towards the bed, looked at Liu Xiaozhong, who was still lying on the bed, and said cautiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The sun has risen high, and his husband not only didn't get up, but he didn't even eat breakfast, and Guo was still a little distressed in his heart.
"Alas, San Lang is a kid who is angry and my liver hurts!" Liu Xiaozhong turned over weakly, wrapped the quilt around his body again, and said lazily.
After returning from a study tour in Xiangyang, not to mention being tired, he had a big battle with Widow Ma in the afternoon, and worked overtime on Guo's body in the evening. As for Liu Yuanshan being angry with him, it's just an excuse.
But Guo Shi took it seriously, took a deep breath and said: "Master, that little cub of San Lang will not be a fuel-efficient lamp when he grows up in the future, you say that Xiuyun is so honest, and his father is not a flamboyant person, who does this kid look like?" ā
"How do I know?" Liu Xiaozhong stared at the roof, took a hard breath, and said to Guo in a low voice: "But you don't have to worry too much, he can't be in our old Liu family." ā
"Can't make it to the climate?" Guo Shi muttered: "You don't know, Wang Xiucai came to our house yesterday and praised him as a flower, saying that he can be in the picture in the future, he is a first-class genius." ā
"Don't worry!" Liu Xiaozhong said: "He can't jump for a few days." ā
"What do you mean?" Guo asked.
"I'm about to tell you about this, I'm afraid I'm in trouble this time!" Liu Xiaozhong didn't feel sleepy at the moment, got up from the bed with a grunt, sat on the edge of the bed in pajamas, and whispered to Guo: "My wife, this time you must say a few kind words in front of your mother." ā
"What the hell is going on?" Guo Shi listened to her husband's words, beat a drum in her heart, and had a bad premonition: "What did you do to break the law in Xiangyang?" ā
"Nope!" Liu Xiaozhong waved his hand and said, "Isn't this all for the exam?" I met a powerful person in Xiangyang City, and he said that there is a way to help me get the quota for the children's test, and we can't treat people badly. ā
"Oh......" Guo Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, isn't it just that he spent those strings of copper coins, what's the big deal.
"This nobleman has a high status in Xiangwang Mansion, and he is good friends with our county's parents, officials and teachings, so we can't be too stingy when we make a move, this time the matter has cost this amount inside and out." Liu Xiaozhong bent his fingers as he spoke, and he gestured a number.
"Nine taels of silver?" Guo asked.
"No!" Liu Xiaozhong said a little decadently: "It's ninety taels!" ā
"What? Ninety taels ......" Guo almost fell under the bed, ninety taels of silver, that is almost the sum of their family's income for several years.
According to the price of the Ming Dynasty, ninety taels of silver can basically buy forty acres of ordinary dry land, and even the best fertile paddy field of the Liu family can also buy twenty acres.
"Be quiet!" Liu Xiaozhong's face was gloomy.
"Liu Xiaozhong, you, you, you loser!" Even if Guo is his wife again, he feels that his husband has done it at the moment, "You are stupid, you haven't written a word about Xiucai, you spent ninety taels, you ...... Where do you get the money? ā
Guo suddenly remembered, and then his heart was even more uneasy!
Because when her husband left, she only took a few taels of money, how could she spend ninety taels of silver? Could it be that he borrowed from someone else, or did he borrow from a loan shark?
Guo didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"I've got everything settled!" Liu Xiaozhong got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked around the ground twice, and said: "There is one thing I didn't tell you, in order to raise money at that time, in desperation, I, I, I sold San Lang!" ā
"Ah......" Guo's breathing was a little short, it was the first time in her life that she had been exposed to such an exciting thing, and she had no master in her heart, so she lowered her voice and asked her husband: "Even if I sell San Lang, it's not worth ninety taels of silver!" ā
Buying an ordinary maid or servant from Renyazi is only twenty or thirty taels of silver, even if the Xiangyang area is too quiet and there are not too many homeless people, if it is more expensive, it is only thirty or forty taels, and a person cannot sell it for ninety taels of silver anyway.
"Naturally!" Liu Xiaozhong's face showed a hint of hideousness, the green tendons on his forehead were faintly exposed, and he said viciously: "Who asked them not to give me the family heirloom Song Yan, otherwise I wouldn't have come up with such an idea." ā
"If it's to blame, you can only blame them for having no eyes, and you can only blame them for doing it themselves!" Liu Xiaozhong didn't realize that he was talking about his sister's family.
Guo Shi repeated what he had just said: "How can San Lang sell ninety taels, are you still doing something?" ā
"Nope!" Liu Xiaozhong said: "The general selling method is naturally less than ninety taels, but there is a special selling method, just ......" He did not continue.
Kwok asked, "What is the special way to sell it?" ā
Liu Xiaozhong felt like vomiting, pushed Guo Shi to the side of the bed, and said, "Don't ask, it won't be long before you understand." After speaking, he muttered to himself: "If Song Yan was given to me just now, there may be a little room for saving this matter, but now, it's really over, and I can only blame them for taking their property too seriously." ā
Guo Shi was a little depressed, and muttered: "I hope you can go to high school, and then redeem San Lang when you have money." ā
Liu Xiaozhong shook his head: "It's late, it's late!" ā
"Can Xiuyun agree?"
"If you don't agree, you have to agree!" Liu Xiaozhong took a deep breath and said: "Xiuyun has been the most obedient since she was a child, and she also listens to her mother's words the most, you have to tell your mother about this matter, let her suppress Xiuyun, San Lang sold herself this time, she and Yanran can also get rich." ā
Guo had no choice but to leave the east wing with red circles in his eyes and walked towards the upper room where Mrs. Dong lived.
At this time, Liu Yuanshan and the three of them just finished packing up their washed clothes and were drying them in the yard.
After a while, there was a sound of breaking the bowl in the upper room, accompanied by the ugly cursing of Mrs. Dong and the sound of Guo's sobbing, but none of the three people in the courtyard heard what they were talking about.
After a while, the sound stopped, and the old lady Dong came out of the main room with a little pale face, sitting on the Taishi chair in front of the hall and closing her eyes to bask in the sun.
Liu Yanran said in a low voice: "Look at our grandmother's face!" ā
Liu Yuanshan sneered, and then said, "Mother, sister, I'm going out to play!" "Actually, I want to go to Wang Xiucai to discuss the sale of osmanthus soap.
"Okay, go ahead, don't forget to come back for dinner." Liu advised.
Liu Yuanshan nodded in agreement and jumped out of the yard.
Old Mrs. Dong closed her eyes for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Liu and said, "Xiuyun, come here, I have something for you to discuss." ā
"Hey!" Liu was flattered: When will it be her turn to discuss the affairs of this family?
