Sixth, ask for tickets and collect.

The great monks finished jumping, finished reading the scriptures, closed the matter, took the money, and left with a smile.

The family is lighting up and down.

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and it is obviously not appropriate to put it in the Zheng family, one is that the Zheng family is the surname of Xingyang, although it cannot be compared with Wei Tang, it will eventually have a face. The eldest lady's guard, quiet, also affected other women. There are some servants in the family, in addition to a few maids, there are three elderly couples, Song Bo in the township, who can read a few words, and has served behind Zheng's father for a long time, and is the most loyal servant and guest of the Zheng family.

In addition, Xu Bo and his wife, who took the place of the Zheng family to guard the fields, were also reassuring guests.

Later, the eldest lady took in a floating guest, surnamed Xiao, and saw that their husband and wife were honest, so she asked the eldest lady to accept it and help. Song Bo and Xu Bo each have a son, who is helping in the cloth shop in the city. Xiao Bo has two sons, who are in the city, but not in the cloth shop of the Wen family, one is learning to make iron, and the other is self-reliant, making a living on the dock.

This is the composition of the Zheng family at this time.

The lamp was placed under the bed, and the servants were about to disperse, Zheng Lang quietly called out Xiao Bo and said, "Xiao Bo, you make something for me." ”

"Da Lang, what do you want to do?"

"Follow me." When I got to the study, I drew an abacus with a brush. I don't have the impression that the shopkeepers of various shops in Zhengzhou still have small wooden sticks to calculate the accounts.

"Da Lang, it's a bead plate."

"Bead plate?" Zheng Lang asked suspiciously.

"It's very similar, but it's different, the top is a bead, Da Lang's bead plate is two beads, and the bottom is four beads, Da Lang is five beads, and there are no holes, and there is no wooden stall in the middle, which is painted with different colors and counted on the wooden plate."

"No wonder," Zheng Lang let out a long sigh of relief. If there was an abacus, people would not use the original arithmetic. Somewhere or so this primitive and clumsy bead disc appeared, and Xiao Bo was a floating guest, that is, a fugitive from a fixed place. Seen a lot, seen.

"Xiao Bo, can you make it right at night?"

"It's not difficult," he still has a good carpenter's work, and the Zheng family's later furniture is all built or repaired by him.

He found Song Bo again and said, "Tomorrow I will use an ox cart to carry me into the city." ”

"Into the city?" In the past, Song Bowan didn't dare to ask questions, but now that the young master has become better, he asked.

"Yes, into town!" Zheng Lang said firmly.

……

Zhengjiazhuang is a typical rural area, with two high slopes in the east and west, which is an area with a good environment, where Zheng Lang and Zheng Qin live two wealthy households, and go down, belonging to more than a dozen tenant farmers of the two families. There are not many, some of them are hired for a certain livelihood in the master's field, some are hired and half cultivated, and occasionally they hire day laborers to assist in the harvest when the farm is busy. In addition to a dozen tenant farmers, there were also more than two dozen commoners, all of whom had their own cultivated land, some more and some less. Men ploughed, women weaved, and women had to work in the fields when the farm was busy.

The east entrance of the village is the road leading to the city, there are thick mulberry trees growing on both sides, and the mulberry leaves are withered on the day of the wax moon, leaving only clusters of brown dead branches. In the distance is a piece of farmland floating with snow, the wilderness is empty, lonely, and several hills stand silently in the poor place of heaven and earth, very much like a bleak and sleepless Guo Xi's "Spring Snow Picture of Guanshan".

But early in the morning, the quiet Zhengjiazhuang was actually lively.

People came out of every house, looking at the young man on the ox cart.

The Zheng family's loser, who lost so much ugliness, actually came out again?

One by one I was curious.

In fact, the Zheng family is also saying that the surname of their little master has really changed, but who will believe it?

Pointing and pointing one by one, Song Bo turned his head worriedly and looked at the little master. I found him sitting on the ox cart, with a joyless and carefree expression on his face, and he liked it a little in his heart.

In the eyes of the common people, it is still different, and the guidance of everyone, An Ruo Taishan, is called obsessive. Wearing a black robe (it's really cold if you don't wear it), she is wearing a white liner inside, black and white, and the color matching is very good-looking. There are Si'er sitting on the side, wearing a simple thick linen winter skirt, and they have to stuff a warm pot for Zheng Lang for a while, move their hair and sit on the felt for a while, and dress for a while (I don't want to bring her, I want to come), which is not good.

The ox cart drove by, leaving gossip all the way, and some women actually said to the children in front of Zheng Lang: "See, don't learn from this person, once you learn, no matter how big the family property can be ruined." ”

"Dalang, those people are really hateful." Si'er said unevenly.

"The villagers have simple concepts and a clear distinction between good and evil, if it was the original, they would have said it well." Zheng Lang opened his eyes and said lightly.

"What do you care about them?"

"Si'er, the road is uneven, someone shovels, it's uneven, say a few words, there will always be. If the officials don't do a good job, the common people can still point fingers. ”

"Da Lang said it well," Song Bo roared with relief. Who said that the Zheng family could be defeated, with the phrase of the young master, the Zheng family can still develop! With joy in his heart, the bullwhip sounded, "Drive!" The big scalper ran happily. Two hours later, the ox cart arrived outside the city of Zhengzhou.

Like most cities in the Song Dynasty, the population of the city grew rapidly after several decades of development and because of the Song Dynasty's encouragement of commerce. Bianliang City could not accommodate so many residents, so it developed outside the city. A similar situation is seen in the city of Zhengzhou, where there are a number of squares, rows along the moat, extending into the distance. There are many shops in the area along the street. However, the Zheng family's cloth shop is in the city.

Passed the soldiers' examination and entered the city.

Zheng Lang suddenly said: "Go to Li Ji Teahouse." ”

"Whoa." I don't know why, Song Bo still answered, bolted the ox cart, and the two went up to the second floor of Li Ji Teahouse, diagonally opposite the Zheng family's cloth shop. I asked the guy for two pots of tea, a plate of refreshments, sat down under the window seat, and looked out the window.

It's not about looking at your own shop, but also looking at all the shops across the street.

I see more in my own shop, with a flat forehead on a black background and gold characters on it, Guang Silk Zhai, I know, my father's font, the writing is a little soft, not an excellent word, of course, compared to Zheng Lang's words now, it is still better. Even in Zhengzhou City, these three big characters can also be taken out.

Under the flat forehead is a gate more than ten meters wide, and inside is a long counter, full of various colors of cloth, but in the teahouse, it is not very real. There were quite a few guests coming in and out. There are two rows of houses in the back, the small row in the east is the storehouse, and the big row in the west is the workshop, which collects raw silk from the countryside, spins and dyes it, and then sells it as a mouth. There are very few looms, only a dozen looms, for the ladies and daughters in the shop to earn a living, and the profit is very little. The main thing is valenian, that is, printing, which is said to have been invented by Liu Jieyu of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the engraving industry was prevalent, so the various patterns were carved onto the silk cloth with the clamping method and the wax valerian method to dye the color, and the colored silk came out.

The front shop is the ancestral heritage of the Zheng family, and the Liang Fang in the back is Zheng Lang's father when he held an official position in Xiangzhou before his death, he met a dyer Liu Donglian, he has very good skills, Liu Niang and Qi Niang often find him Liang Hua color silk to make clothes, and then slowly familiarized, but thought of his own cloth shop, invited him with a lot of money, out of the madder, Valerian in the world, Liu Donglian arrived, brought a more prosperous business. When the Xiangzhou dyer came, he couldn't buy other people's cloth, so he took it to the Zheng family's store to color dye.

However, the embroidery and silk carving, which represented the highest skills of the textile industry in the Song Dynasty, were not operated by the Zheng family. It seems that only two companies in the whole of Zhengzhou have this ability.

In the middle of the two-compartment house, there is a large patio with a few old trees, and behind it are several houses, where several chief treasurers live, and by the way, they take care of the shop.

This is the original Zheng Lang's memory, but after passing through, Zheng Lang himself has not been here once. Even locked himself at home and didn't go out, so when he went out today, it caused a sensation in the township.

"Da Lang, what are you looking at?" Si'er asked curiously.

"Am I looking at the ledger?"

"Where's the ledger?"

"Well, it's right under my nose, but I'm optimistic. Uncle Song, let's go to the store. ”

"Whoa." Song Bo knew that there was a ghost in the store's income, but he didn't believe that his little master could find out what to do.
