Act 41 A roadblock on the doorstep
Early the next morning, Guan Kunyu took Uncle Zhao's ox cart home, and when he walked to the periphery of the camp, Uncle Zhao put him down and continued to deliver the goods by himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the way, Guan Kunyu went to check the burden with his back, and the silver in it sank fiercely, and this heaviness made him feel relieved for a while-sure enough, he had money in his hand and didn't panic!
"Shall I find a place to hide this silver?"
Guan Kunyu seriously considered that in modern times, adults have the habit of confiscating children's New Year's money and saying "help you save it", but in the Ming Dynasty, the situation was even worse.
Since his family knew about his own family affairs, he was very sure that if he took the fifty taels of silver home, the big head would definitely be handed over to the family treasury, and it would be good if he could leave three or five taels of pocket money in his pocket.
In fact, this is also the norm at this time, the smallest social unit in the period of the Chinese feudal dynasty was never a family but a clan, and the smallest was also a family, and the real existence of the family unit was only a very rare part.
Just like the Guan family, the population is actually not large, and even a servant is not employed, but it still exists as a family unit, not to mention Guan Kunyu, a little pot friend, even his father does not have the right to financial independence! Not only is there no right to financial independence, but also personal independence!
All the financial income of the whole family must be handed over to the parents, and then the "pocket money" will be distributed by the old man Guan, of course, this is only the right of the old man Guan as a parent, but except for some urgent affairs, he does not deal with all the financial affairs, but authorizes this right to the old lady.
To put it simply, the Guan family has no personal income, the whole family is like a company, you earn a profit of 100,000 yuan, but the profit of 100,000 yuan does not belong to you, but to your boss (Mr. Guan), and what belongs to you is only your salary (pocket money) of 1,000 yuan.
Although the specific way of dealing with each family in the Ming Dynasty is different, this family structure of the Guan family is the most common.
This is also a very awkward point for Guan Kunyu, it doesn't matter if he hands over the money to his family, the key is that it feels too uncomfortable to have a leader approve everything, especially for the traversers, they often or must do something that is incomprehensible to others, and if they wear a tight spell on their heads, a large part of them obviously don't want to do it.
If there is no other way to break this structure, as long as Guan Kunyu still lives in the big family of the Guan family, then he can only have full freedom to do what he wants to do after he survives until his drowsy father travels west......
For a traverser...... This is undoubtedly a very sad situation......
For Guan Kunyu, who has a lot of things to do but lacks start-up capital, these silver are undoubtedly very important.
After thinking about it, Guan Kunyu still decided to hide the silver for forty taels in private, anyway, no one except Master Wu knew how much he had taken.
Carrying a big burden into the cantonment, he saw the merchant Zhang and his second aunt at a glance. Walking into some, I faintly heard the words "hairpin", "two taels" and so on, it seemed that the second aunt bought a very expensive hairpin from the merchant Zhang, but it didn't matter what happened to Guan Kunyu, so he walked over generously.
"Second aunt is good."
The second aunt, who was competing with the merchant Zhang Qi, only found him after hearing Guan Kunyu's voice, and immediately "snorted" and said: "You worshipped a talented master but didn't study hard, and you had to play everywhere, so you wasted such a good opportunity." With your virtue, Master Chen can still teach so many words in one day, he is really a famous teacher, how good it would be if we were replaced by Kunru. ”
It is still unlucky to worship Chen Jiru as a master, let Guan Kunyu say that it must be a blood mold! But what you can't get is always the best, and the second aunt's view is just the opposite.
Obviously, although the second aunt was more satisfied with the identity of Kunru's master, Wang Gongzi, she deeply regretted his departure, and at the same time saw Chen Jiru's "excellent teaching ability", and couldn't help but start to fantasize about how wonderful it would be if these two people only taught their own Kunru alone.
So, for Guan Kunyu, who "occupies the pit and doesn't", the second aunt has every reason to be resentful, and now Guan Kunyu's behavior of running out makes her affirm her point of view.
Guan Kunyu shrugged her shoulders, she didn't plan to entangle anything with her second aunt, she really wanted him to teach Kunru, and within three days, she would guarantee that she would cry and shout to make trouble with the return.
The second aunt is a little selfish, but the object of income is also Guan Kunru, she is not selfish for herself, and Guan Kunyu has a very good feeling for Guan Kunru, so she will not really be angry with the second aunt when she looks at Kunru's face.
But Guan Kunyu didn't want to fight, but the second aunt didn't plan to let him go.
"What's the matter with your baggage? I don't remember what you took when you went out, could it be that you came back from the grocery store? This is not good, the things in the grocery store are all sold by our family, and you can't take them indiscriminately! ”
Guan Kunyu smiled and said, "It's not the things in our shop, they were all given to me by others." ”
10,000 of the second aunt did not believe.
"Someone else sent you? It's the first time you've gone out, do you know anyone out of our camp? If you return what someone else gave you, you won't lie! It was given to you by the people in our shop, it's something at home, not a gift! Nor yours! Hurry up and bring it to me! ”
Saying that, the second aunt reached out and was about to grab Guan Kunyu's burden, but Guan Kunyu naturally didn't let it, and took two steps back to dodge.
The merchant Zhang couldn't look past it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, Kun Yu is still a child, what does he know, just go back and talk to him."
"Hehe, what does he know? He knows so much! If you don't go to the house for three days, you're talking about a bastard like him! ”
Guan Kunyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
That's right, you are really right, second aunt, we know a lot, but unfortunately, there is no extra point for answering correctly.
"How dare you laugh, see if I don't kill you!"
As soon as the second aunt turned around the merchant Zhang, she chased after Guan Kunyu, Guan Kunyu ran away without a doubt, who could stand there stupidly and beg for a fight, the two chased like this.
I didn't chase for long, and suddenly I heard a loud shout.
"Stop! Isn't it a shame!? Hurry home with me! ”
It was the old lady of the Guan family who did not know when she appeared.
The old lady had a life, so the two naturally didn't dare to act rashly, and obediently followed home.
As soon as he entered the house, a bunch of people surrounded him, and Old Man Guan's face was as black as if he had smeared pot ashes.
"Go, see if there's anything out there, drive them away, and bolt the door tightly!"
When the uncle finished watching the excitement and bolted the door, the old lady who had been holding back her words finally broke out.
"What the hell just happened!? Second daughter-in-law, how old are you, he has always been ignorant, I'm not surprised when something happens, why are you also involved!? Is there anything you can't say when you get into the house!? Do you have to be embarrassed in front of outsiders? ”
"Mother...... I was wrong......"
The second aunt apologized very sincerely, and now that she thinks about it, she also feels that she is indeed hot-headed just now, and she can't wait until she gets home to close the door and say it to her family.
After all, the second aunt and the old lady were married by the Wang family, and the old lady still took good care of the second aunt, and when she saw the second aunt apologize, she nodded, and her tone was much lighter.
"It's good to know it's wrong, let's talk about it, what's going on?"
