Chapter 18: Temptation
"Boy, listen, the two of us are not qualified to cry after coming to this shijie, we have nothing but each other, not only must we live strongly, but we must live better than most, and we can't disgrace our shijie.
Now is just the beginning, we will encounter a lot of unlucky things in the future, so much that we can't imagine, you were right before, as long as we get to the city, we will definitely live ten times better than now, a hundred times, but we can't escape, escape is cheating, I am a teacher, the most hated is cheating, since fate let us do it again, we will do it again, hard life is not necessarily pain, maybe it is wealth. ”
Yun Er raised his tearful face and roared at Yun Zheng, "You can't say something human?" At this time, you still want to fool me? You almost died today! ”
Yun Zheng sat down helplessly, looked at Yun Er's eyes and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I'm used to talking like that, you take care of it, we can't get to this point, there is no fame, if we run away, we will become a fugitive, I used to think that the Song Dynasty was a commercial society, everyone was very free, but now I find that it is not like that."
Unless we are robbers, there is nothing so good, tonight I met a leopard, I slashed a wood knife on its head, although it was not two minutes from the beginning to the end, but the danger was definitely not enough to be with outsiders.
But there is a sentence just now that I didn't fool you, that is, our brothers must live a prosperous life, brother, I was disliked by others for an ugly wife in my last life, this time, I plan to marry a beauty and come back, my heart is not good, we don't want to live a life.
If you want to live this kind of life, there is only one way to do scientific research, otherwise even if our brothers have a lot of money, they will be slaughtered as pigs, how can this work, we have to mix into the ranks of officials no matter what, only by mixing with the class of scholars, our brothers can have a good life, and this will live up to our time in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Does your back still hurt?"
"Nonsense, how doesn't it hurt, I have flesh and blood on my body, not wood. Hurry up, wipe the blood off for me, and see if the injury is serious. Yun Zheng patted Yun Er's little head lightly, unbuttoned his clothes and asked him to check his back. I thought you didn't hurt, and you still had the time to cook and eat, but fortunately, it was a big hole, not deep, and it didn't bleed anymore, and such an injury would heal in five or six days. Yun Er took a clean wet linen cloth on Yun Da's back to wipe off the bloodstains, and kept teasing him.
Yun Zheng finished sewing clothes and the moon had already walked to the top of his head, seeing that Yun Er was sleeping very sweetly, he also yawned and got into the quilt, the quilt was warm, and the sleepiness came like a tide, completely drowning him.
Habitually get up when the sky is just white, it was still sunny last night, why did it start to rain again in the morning, Yun Zheng is not an ordinary worry, today he wants to divide the earthwork for the laborers on the construction site, this is what Liu Dutou promised yesterday, he can't go back, when he thinks of working in the bleak wind and cold rain, he is very reluctant to go out of the house.
Cang'er has already come out of the house, and the work on the construction site is not tight these days, so the laborers can also go home, as long as they work for another fifteen days, they can go home, and the labor is finished.
Yun Zheng finally knew that these people had labor to do every year, a group of stupid soldiers were modifying their city defenses according to their own foolish ideas, it was said that the imperial court sent down the formation map every year, and they did it according to the formation, the nearby mountains have been dug with holes, and a mudslide in the spring and summer will destroy all the efforts of last year.
Yun Zheng can responsibly say that in addition to the fortress on ** mountain this year, other places will be dug again next year. Because now some places are collapsing.
The old patriarch and his family originally only had to send the ox cart to the top of the labor, but the old patriarch was reluctant to pay 20 yuan a day, so his strong son needed to go to the construction site to dig the soil.
Yun Zheng sat on the ox cart and continued to be in a daze, Cang Er was reluctant to sit in the ox cart, so he ran barefoot on the ground, when passing by the big bluestone, Yun Zheng glanced at it casually, and found that there were three birds carved on the stone, and a small piece of rag was pressed with a stone next to it, needless to say, Lai Ba They hit three pheasants, ready to let Yun Zheng change them into sackcloth, seeing that the tail of one of the birds was painted long, Yun Zheng was happy all of a sudden, they actually hit a golden chicken, the feathers of this thing are worth more than meat.
There are merchants who specialize in collecting feathers in Dousha Pass, and I heard that the gorgeous feathers are very popular in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and some of the leaders in the Qinglou use bird feathers to make colorful clothes, and prepare to restore Yang Yuhuan's "Ni Dress and Feather Dance", which will be performed on the birthday of the Queen Mother.
This is just the gossip that Yun Zheng heard when he sold pheasants a few times ago, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but it was true that the feathers of the golden pheasant were sold very expensive.
When he arrived at the construction site, Liu Dutou mysteriously pulled Yun Zheng aside, and said to Yun Zheng with eyebrows: "Boy, you are so lucky, does Yufuxuan know?" ”
"You know, the one who sells jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, you know, do we have anything to do with him?" Yun Zheng is very strange, this is a big business, his family's jewelry is actually not sold to the locals, but transported to Dali through the horse gang, sold to Dali people, in Chengdu are well-known merchants.
"Yufuxuan's shopkeeper in Doushaguan, he takes a fancy to you, he wants to recruit you as a son-in-law, but the old master is the one in the middle, Tian is in our Doushaguan, but one of the best rich and noble families, you just need to change your surname to Tian, you can go to Yufuxuan as a partner immediately, and wait for you to get married in a few years, maybe the shopkeeper of Yufuxuan in Doushaguan is you, a good thing! As long as you change your sex, your brother can still inherit your family's incense, so your troubles will be gone. “
Yun Zheng looked at Liu Dutou, who was foaming at the mouth, and was silent, seeing that Liu Dutou was uncomfortable, his smiling face was slowly gone, and he was not excited, he sighed and said: "I know that you won't agree, we haven't been together for a long time, you kid is definitely a backbone, this matter is a good thing for others, and it may be an insult to you, the old master will let me talk to you, if you promise this family business, don't mention the things that follow, now you don't even ask whether the daughter of the shopkeeper Tian is ugly or beautiful, I will directly say the back."
Your business is done, the people of the joint insurance have found it, and the Xiucai who recommended you to take the exam has also been found, which is the old master himself, but the old master book wants to test your talent, and the days are at the end of the hard labor, how about it? My old Liu is quite reliable, right? ”
"Fortunately, you said the latter words, if there is no back, I will insult my ancestors at you, and I don't know your friend Lao Liu." Yun Zheng listened to Liu Dutou's words and was very satisfied.
