Chapter XXVII: Balance of Interests
In the days of waiting for the county exam, the life of the Yun family is regular and joyful, every morning, the fat snake will come out of a corner, the belly is bulging, leisurely coiled into a snake cake and waiting for the sun to automatically shine on its body.
Then there will be a yellow dog with a big mouth and limbs stretched straight, the back rises and falls a few times, it is considered to be a morning exercise, generally at this time, there will be a girl in a blue shirt carrying a bucket out of the bamboo building, carefully cover the bamboo door, step on the bamboo ladder down the small building, first go to see their beloved two pigs, find that they sleep sweetly in the hay nest, then happily carry the bucket to the river.
"Bacon, did your young master sleep with you last night?" A chubby young woman was dozing off with her hair loose and carrying a bucket, and when she found bacon, she immediately came to her senses, leaned over and asked bacon, winking her little eyes.
"My young master is a scholar, Sven, in the future, he will marry a delicate official lady, unlike your second egg, who bullies you to death every day." When it comes to talking about meat and bacon, she is not shy at all, the women in the mountains don't care about these things, there are many children at the age of twelve or thirteen, plus they are exposed to it in Qinglou, and they are not afraid at all.
"Silly woman, I can't see a good man in the mountain, your young master's fine skin and tender flesh are out of the water, thinner than the meat on my tits, he doesn't sleep with you, can't you wait for the little young master to fall asleep and go to find a quilt by yourself? What about the great opportunity, your young master is a kind-hearted person, as long as he sleeps with you, he will definitely give you a name in the future, hurry up, sleep tonight! ”
As soon as the young woman's words were finished, an aunt with five big and three thick took over the conversation and taught bacon.
There is a gossip field on the side of the river, after the short long-tongued women of the east and west families gather together, they look at the body of the bacon at first sight, and ask the bacon to walk a few steps for them to see, and they all say that there is no mouse that does not steal oil, it must be that the bacon is too bold and scares the timid Xianggong.
The bacon walked to the upper reaches of the river, found two large leaves and washed them carefully, and then washed the bucket several times before filling it with water to cover the leaves of the big tree on the water, and then carried the water to the house.
I thought about it as I walked, and sometimes I would blush, but when I thought that the young master was unwilling to take a second look at the beautiful Miss Liang, my heart secretly hurt.
Lived for thirteen years, only for more than two months to live like a person, naked and hung on the wooden shelf, just thinking about whether he could live, but he didn't expect to fall into the nest of blessings all of a sudden, my mother said that women can't be greedy, and it is a great blessing to be able to live this life like this under the protection of the young master, I don't want to do so much.
Seeing the two young masters standing on the bamboo tower from a distance and starting to do those strange movements again, the joy in the heart of the bacon was about to overflow, and when he found that they began to jump, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, as long as they started to jump, it means that they are already busy and are about to start washing.
"The water in this mountain is sweet." Yun Zheng took a sip of water, began to brush his teeth with the torn flowering willow branches dipped in green salt, carefully finished his teeth, and rinsed his mouth, only to find that Yun Er had already finished it, and stepped forward to pinch open this guy's mouth to check, and sure enough, there was a trace of green vegetables between his teeth, and he rudely helped Yun Er finish poking his teeth, and then he entered the bamboo building with satisfaction.
"You're hurting me." Yun Er complained as he kicked Yun Da's heel.
"In this day and age, you don't brush your teeth well, and when the time comes, where do you expect me to find you a dentist when you have a toothache? I did it on purpose, just to give you a long memory. Yun Da walked to a low table with his hands behind his back and sat down.
The bacon had already brought up the hot porridge with beans, and took a plate of salted haode wild vegetables, and the three of them began to eat breakfast, and when they drank the porridge, Yun Da told Yun Er and the bacon that he planned to take them to Doushaguan for a turn today, and by the way, he went to visit the old master book, and implemented the exam as soon as possible, listening to Liu Dutou, there were only five or six days left before the exam.
Seeing that he was going out, the bacon hurriedly drank the gruel, and ran downstairs to feed the pigs, feed the cows, and by the way, wipe the ox cart clean, the young master couldn't see the dirty.
When the sun set off, it had climbed up the mountain more than a foot high, and the fog rose in the mountains, which was very annoying, and the fog would dissipate as long as the sun rose in other places, and only in this valley, the sun rose and dried the dew, and there would be fog.
The wooden wheels of the ox cart creaked, and Yun Er stood in the bamboo basket and pointed to the pheasants that flew up from time to time in the grass and asked Yun Da if he could catch one for him.
This kind of vindictive language Yun Da ignored according to the convention, and the bacon would chirp and tell Yun Er that this kind of Aunt Hua's meat was sassy and couldn't be eaten, so it flew everywhere, and no one caught them.
"I just like to be sassy." Yun Er continued to be unreasonable, and wanted bacon to catch, Yun Da slapped him on the head, and then obediently sat in the bamboo basket and got angry.
When passing by the big bluestone, the two catchers were guarding there with knives, and the idlers and others would all be driven away, and the other few catchers were constantly transporting goods to the ravine, and today was another trading day, and the catchers were very busy.
"Yunda, try the newly harvested mountain goods." A basket of bamboo mushrooms was thrown over, and Liu Du sat on the big ox cart with the sweat on his forehead, lifted his robe and fanned the wind, looking tired enough.
"Damn, the mountain people recognize Lao Tzu, every transaction needs Lao Tzu to be present to rest assured of the transaction, now it has just started spring, the main harvest is the mountain treasures, and there are some bamboo rats do you want."
"Of course, I just picked this time to come over to mix gifts, today I want to visit the old master, I am a late learner, to meet the master, empty-handed is not like words." Yun Zheng's eyes widened when the lion's mouth opened.
Liu Dutou couldn't breathe with a smile, and pointed at Yun Zheng intermittently and said, "I know that you are not a person who is willing to suffer, do you know what the old master said when I came?"
His old man said, the boy of the Yun family must come to visit the old man today, he didn't come a few days ago, because he didn't have a supplior, you are careful to be robbed by others today, haha, sure enough, Lao Tzu just opened, and the robbery came to the door. ”
Yun Zheng couldn't help laughing, and after a while, he took Liu Dutou's hand and said, "Do you know how to do this business for a long time?" ”
Liu Dutou hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Please advise." ”
"Without him, the interests are even, you are doing the right thing now, how big the profit is, you should know this time, as long as you don't want to monopolize this business, ten years later, I may be able to hear your name from the newspaper in the capital!" Yun Zheng said as a matter of course.
ps: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
