"Hehe, these Han people in Beijing, they are generous!" Li Lun put the twenty copper coins into his underwear pocket, and patted the mouth of the bag again, "Will they still come?" ”

"They said it would be in the early afternoon if it was still coming." Wang Meili replied lazily, "I was tossed by them all night last night, and I didn't sleep much, so I'll go to lie on the kang for a while!" ”

"Wait." Li Lun stopped Wang Meili, and he briefly told Wang Xiuying about it.

Hearing that it is not for nothing to eat, but it can still make money, Wang Meili did not object: "You are in charge, you have decided." ”

"Then it's decided," Li Lun settled down, not only did he get a mother-in-law for nothing, but he could also add silver to the family in the future, "You can sleep first, these Han people, if you have money, you are so willful, one day if I am rich......"

All morning, Li Lun hummed the Mongolian tune he had learned when he was young, and he would touch the copper coins on his body as if he was afraid of a thief, and then look at the door, as if he was waiting for someone.

He had already calculated it, and in just one day, he had earned one hundred and twenty wen, and if the two Han people came in the afternoon, he would have another one hundred and twenty wen, which was worth half a month's worth of him.

After noon, Li Lun was tired of waiting, and he was about to go to lie down on the kang when Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Wenxiu came.

"Two adults, are you still staying here tonight?" Li Lun hurriedly greeted him out of the hut.

Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Wenxiu saw Li Lun's expression, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, Xu Wenxiu saluted: "Our business trip is not over yet, we can't go back until tomorrow, and we will still live here tonight." ”

"That's good, that's good," Li Lun's heart smiled, and his smug expression, although he tried his best to hide it, still fell in the eyes of Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Wenxiu, "Beautiful, serve tea." ”

Wang Meili was about to serve tea, but Xu Wenxiu hurriedly stopped: "Mare's milk tea is free, I'm not used to drinking it, let's have a cup of tea!" ”

"Yes, yes, beautiful, Shangqing tea." Li Lun swept the table and stool with his sleeve and asked the two to sit down.

Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Wenxiu had nothing to do in the afternoon, Li Lun was also bored, the three of them talked about the world for a while, and Wang Meili was preparing dinner inside.

"Li joins the army, there are women hidden in your mansion, and others don't know about it." Mu Zhiyuan was quick to speak, and he felt sorry for Li Lun.

"How do others know?" Li Lun is worried that after Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Wenxiu leave, his income may decline, he knows that the Han people have bright brains and a lot of ideas.

"You hang a sign in front of the house, and others will understand it when they see it." Xu Wenxiu thought of the various inns of the Han people, as long as there were distinctive signs, the guests were clear at a glance.

"Hang up the brand? What grade? "Li Lun has always lived in Mobei and has never seen any brand.

"It's called...... Let's call it! Mu Zhiyuan said casually.

Xu Wenxiu swallowed the tea in his mouth and said slowly: "Brother Mu, this name is too eye-catching, with the identity of Li joining the army, Master Shi is afraid that it will not be allowed." ”

"What's that grade?" Li Lun didn't understand the meaning of these Chinese characters at all, he could only rely on these two literati from Beijing, anyway, his business was mainly for the Han people, the Mongols now have no silver at all, and it is okay to use cattle and sheep to settle the account, but no one uses cattle and sheep to settle the account at all, in fact, Chita is now full of men and girls, and the Mongolians are not short of women at all.

"In my opinion, it's called 'Yiren Inn', which is a little more obscure, but when Han people see this name, they will still understand its meaning." Xu Wenxiu thought of a neutral brand.

"Yiren Inn? That's right," Mu Zhiyuan also agreed, "Take advantage of the afternoon leisure, we will write you a good number, and hang it at the gate, so that you can have a full house." ”

"Then thank you two adults, today's dinner can be regarded as the villain's thank you to the two adults." Li Lun seemed to see the rolling red copper flying in front of his eyes, and finally flew into his underwear pocket.

"That's not necessary, our dinner will be paid for by Chita Province." Mu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "As long as Wang Meili serves us well at night." ”

"Two adults......" Li Lun hesitated.

"Don't worry, the price is still the same, we won't lose a penny to you." Xu Wenxiu laughed.

"That's good, Meimei will definitely serve the two adults well at night," Li Lun smiled curtly, "Don't hide it from the two adults, there is still a woman in the villain's hand, do you want to send it over at night?" ”

"The officials of Daming are not as rich as businessmen, anyway, we can only afford last night's price, whether you want to send it over or not, you can do it yourself." Mu Zhiyuan was a little fond of the docile Wang Meimei.

Li Lun secretly calculated that if there was an additional Wang Xiuying, they would not give more copper coins, and they would have to take a Wang Xiuying, and they would have an empty room at night, so they were smiling and bringing it over: "Two adults, then what do we have to prepare now?" I don't have pen and paper here. ”

"I'll go back and get it, you prepare a square plank first." Mu Zhiyuan saw that Li Lun didn't understand the meaning of the square plank, so he gestured with his hand and pointed to the wood for the fire.

Li Lun went to prepare the plank, while Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Wenxiu returned to the mansion and borrowed pen and paper from the teachers.

When Mu and Xu came back, Li Lun had not found the square wooden board, so Mu Zhiyuan had to write the four big characters of "Yiren Inn" on a piece of white paper, and he instructed Li Lun to glue the white paper on the square wooden board with rice paste, and then hang it under the eaves above the door to avoid rain and snow.

After dinner, Li Lunqian refused to leave the hut.

Xu Wenxiu smiled: "Li joined the army, but he was waiting for copper coins?" ”

Li Lun smiled, "It's still the old rule, pay the copper money first, and after receiving the copper money, I will go outside the city." ”

Xu Wenxiu took out a hundred copper coins and handed them to Li Lun, "Li joins the army, if we have the opportunity to come to Chita next time, we are old acquaintances - it doesn't matter if I don't come, if my friends come to Chita, I will also introduce them to the Yiren Inn, and Li Senjun will receive them well." ”

"That's, that's." After taking Xu Wenxiu's copper coin, Li Lun went back happily.

When they arrived at Wang Xiuying's tent, the children had not yet been put on the kang.

Li Juanfei ran over, "Daddy is back, we have to go home!" ”

"Uncle ......" Wang Xiuying looked at Li Lun's eyes, she was a little lost, and her face was full of different question marks.

Li Lun glanced at Wang Xiuying with a smile, and then said to Li Juan: "Juan'er, let's not go back, this is also our home." ”

"Isn't this my aunt's home?" The little girl thought that his father had drunk too much mare's milk wine, so she insisted on his father's mouth and sniffed it: "Daddy didn't drink mare's milk wine either!" ”

"Daddy eats with the guests at night, and he really doesn't drink mare's milk wine." Li Lun kissed Li Juan's cheek, "However, this place will indeed be our home in the future." ”

"Daddy, what about Auntie? And Sister Wen'er, where do they live? Li Juan obviously didn't understand what Li Lun meant.

Wang Xiuying, who understood what Li Lun meant, had long been hiding aside, but she was not far away, and she had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Li Lun and Li Juan.

"Your aunt also lives here - in the future, she will be your second mother, sister Wen'er, she will be your own sister," Li Lun was worried that Li Juan would not understand, "Juan'er, Erniang is also our family, of course this is also our home." ”

"Ao, is it that my father wants to marry Erniang?" Li Juan pondered for a while and finally understood.

"Juan'er is so sensible!" Li Lun sighed, "In the future, when your mother is in the city, we will live here with Erniang, Erniang will make us food, and Erniang will make us new clothes." ”

"Oh!" Li Juan answered, and she nodded vigorously.

At this moment, Li Yong rubbed his eyes and squeezed over: "Daddy, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep on the kang." ”

"Okay, okay, Yong'er will sleep on Erniang's kang!"

The three children made one head, Li Lun and Wang Xiuying made one head, and there were human legs everywhere on the kang.

Wang Xiuying has already been married once, according to Mongolian customs, there is no need for etiquette, besides, she and Li Lun got married last night, as long as Wang Meili does not object, she will officially become Li Juan's second mother.

Li Lun got on the hot kang, his hands became restless, what Wang Meili lost in the Han people, he wanted to find it back in Wang Xiuying.

Wang Xiuying held Li Lun's strange hands, "Li Lun, have you told Sister Mei about our business?" ”

"Say, don't worry, she doesn't object, as long as I agree, tonight, you will officially pass the door." Li Lun withdrew his hand and began to move around Wang Xiuying's body again.

Wang Xiuying blushed, fortunately the mutton fat lamp had been extinguished, they could only hear the sound of talking, but they couldn't see each other's faces, she pressed Li Lun's hands on her mulberries, "Li Lun, wait a minute, the children are not asleep yet!" ”

"It's okay, the children already know that you are Erniang, tomorrow morning, I will ask Li Juan and Li Yong to change their words, officially call you Erniang, and you will also let Wen'er call me Daddy."

"Hmm!" Wang Xiuying whispered, since Li Lun wanted it, she also gave up resistance.

People who live outside the Guan, in winter, the whole family is a big kang, several generations act at the same time, it is also a common thing, children will know some hazy, so it is generally more precocious, men marry wives at the age of twelve or thirteen, women marry at the age of eleven or twelve, it is also a common thing.

After breakfast, Li Lun and Wang Xiuying are officially married, and the children naturally want to recognize their relatives and change to a new name.

Originally, Wang Meili was going to participate in such an important occasion, but the Mongolians are different from the Han people, they don't pay much attention to these identity matters, and Wang Meili is still serving the Han people in the city, I don't know if she got up.

Li Lun learned the habits of the Han people, he and Wang Xiuying sat side by side on the chairs, and the children stepped forward in order of age.

Li Juan and Li Yong both called Li Lun "Daddy" and Wang Xiuying "Erniang", while Li Wen called Li Lun "Dad" and Wang Xiuying "Niang".

Li Lun and Wang Xiuying gave each child a penny, but now in Chita Mansion, there is no place to spend copper coins, Wang Xiuying uses a thin thread to wear copper coins and hang them around the children's necks for temporary use as collars.

When Li Lun arrived at the Yiren Inn, Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Wenxiu had already left, but they left a tip of thirty Wen.

Li Lun was overjoyed, the night before yesterday, his mother-in-law earned him one hundred and twenty wen, and last night his mother-in-law was even better, I don't know what means to use to earn him ten more wen, reaching one hundred and thirty wen.

But after Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Wenxiu left Chita with their entourage, the Yiren Inn became deserted until two soldiers passing by stumbled upon it.
