Chapter 36 Careless of Human Life
The Yun family's house is growing taller rapidly, since the villagers heard Yun Zheng say that he will teach the children in the village to read in this house, and no matter whose children, as long as they are willing to go to school and read and write, they can come, and the number of people involved in building the house has increased significantly.
Carpentry has been making furniture day and night, especially several kinds of furniture designed by Yun Zheng are not only good-looking, but also durable, the most important thing in the mountain is wood, the table made of Nanmu does not need to be painted, take a cloth dipped in tung oil and wipe it 100 times, it will automatically become bronze, and it will be shiny in the sun. The natural wood grain does not require extra decoration at all.
After Yun Zheng took a look, he asked the old patriarch to take the carpenter to make another set of his own furniture, especially the huge table, which required the carpenters to be perfect. "What? You're going to send such a set of furniture to the prefectural order? The old patriarch looked at Yun Zheng in surprise, thinking that he was talking in his sleep. That's right, such haode craftsmanship, such haode things, don't give it to the county order first, how can it be sold at a good price, there are not many rich and noble people living in Dousha County, but there are many business buyers, this set of furniture will be sold at a sky-high price, I estimate that as long as two sets of furniture can be sold, our village will have food for a year. "What? Are you going to do business? Baby, this can't be done, it's a cheap job, although you make a lot of money, but then you can't participate in the scientific examination, let's not do this work, don't do it! "The old patriarch's head shook like a wave drum.
Yun Zheng couldn't tell the old patriarch that the status of merchants in the Northern Song Dynasty was already very good, and Ma Jiliang, a tea merchant in Weishi County, married the daughter of his relative Liu Mei in order to become an official, and was accepted by the emperor in Guanglu Temple, which was still a matter of the first twenty years, and as for the businessman who wanted to really enter the official career, it was after Yingzong.
Studying in any era, is a very luxurious thing, before the Great Song Dynasty, only the son of a scholar can enter the office, to the present era, the children of businessmen also have the prerequisite for entering the office, that is, wealth, as the old saying goes, if there is no father and brother to run the business in the front, no children in the back. Yun Zheng almost had a lot of trouble if he wanted to take the exam as a child, and if he wanted to be famous in Donghuamen, this difficulty was definitely not small.
Yun Zheng smiled and said to the old patriarch: "How can I manage the cheap business, many people in our village can do this thing, the kid just sent this set of furniture to the county order house as a thank you gift, and the rest of the things will naturally be found by merchants, as long as you bite the price and don't let go, the secret recipe of tung oil wiping the table must be kept secret, so that even if others learn to make tables, they can't do us such an effect, I heard Uncle Nine say, this method is not known to outsiders." "This is a secret recipe handed down by the ancestors, how can outsiders know, since you want the village to become rich, then do it, I will give a gag order to the people in the village, whoever dares to leak the ancestral secret recipe, will kick their whole family out of the village."
The old patriarch said that he would do it, and that night he summoned a few people in the village who knew the secret to make things clear, and made furniture in the village, Yun Zheng got up, sold furniture once, and when the trade route was unblocked, he would not touch it. Xiucai Gong can't touch it. “
Yun Zheng now has a lot of time to enjoy the mountains and waters here, as for Yun Er now lying in the bamboo basket on the back of the bacon all day long, going back and forth between the mulberry field and the silkworm house, or he will take a bamboo stick to stab his pig's buttocks, watching the pigs scurrying around the pigsty, and the angry bacon can only drag him away from the pigsty.
Yun Er doesn't bully Yun San, doesn't bully the housekeeper snake, and doesn't bully bacon too much, but he is very unkind to the old cow and pig at home, and the old cow will moo non-stop as long as he sees Yun Er, and it is Yun Er who uses a rope to tie the old cow's ears as rabbit ears.
Yun Da has nothing to do, and will carry a hoe to cultivate the small piece of land of the brothers, not expecting any harvest, only hoping that this land will not be barren, but the real labor at home is bacon, she works extremely neatly, not only to take care of Yun Er every day, but also to herd cattle, beat pigweed, laundry, cook, take care of the silkworm baby in the silkworm house, and most importantly, supervise the construction progress of her own house.
Yun Zheng, a baby who has always been bought back like this, feels that he has made a lot of money, and the legendary conch girl is nothing more than that. This is a diligent silly girl, on the third day of March, Yun Zheng tied a paper kite to her and Yun Er, and the two of them forgot to eat for the first time, Yun Er pulled his swallow paper kite and ran on the grain field, bacon held his butterfly paper kite and was reluctant to put it in the sky, she was very worried that once the butterfly flew into the sky, it would not be able to be recovered.
I can't get a household registration for this stupid girl twice, there is no way, Liu Dutou said very simply, the servant can't be registered, and the county magistrate is even thinking about canceling all the household registration that the servant already has, this matter will definitely not be done, unless Yun Zheng marries this woman. "Look, I know that you don't want to, although your brother is young, but he has great ambitions, I have never seen a scholar who marries a servant woman, if you don't want to take the exam, just marry that woman."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "If I want to marry a woman, I must be the one I like, bacon is a diligent girl, I just don't want to wronged her, so I remembered to register her."
I'm surprised, bacon is black eyes, black hair, yellow skin like us, and there is a difference between heaven and earth with those flowery beards, how can you tell that she is a servant? “
This question has been in Yun Zheng's mind for a long time, and he finally found such an opportunity to ask it. "You're still a scholar, tell me how many whirlpools you have at the top door?" "One," "That's right, I'm one too." "Isn't it strange?" "It's not unusual, the problem is that there are two whirlpools on the top door of the servant."
After listening to Liu Dutou's irresponsible explanation, Yun Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Liu Dutou: "That's how you are sure that the bacon is a servant?" Is it because she has two swirls on her head? "Of course, it's called conclusive evidence!" Liu Du walked into the valley with a large bag of goods, and his business became bigger and bigger. "Master Liu, I want to kick you, how about you not fight back?" Yun Zheng finally controlled his body to prevent himself from swinging, and asked Liu Dutou in a loud voice who had already burrowed into the grass.
