Chapter 48: Knocking on the door?
Chen knew the meaning of the third grandfather's words, but she pretended to be confused, shook the old cotton clothes in her hand and shouted: "When I was in my hometown, it was only more than 100 yuan to make a new cotton clothes, why did I need 500 yuan when I arrived in Yuchang Mansion?" Five hundred big money, three uncles, can afford our harvest of one acre of land, and the harvest of one acre of land is exchanged for an old cotton coat, this is not a pit person. ”
These old cotton clothes have been washed several times, and the cotton inside has already formed lumps, and it is not warm to wear new cotton clothes at all.
The more Chen thought about it, the more painful he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "No, we can't ask for these old cotton clothes, take them back and change them back, if they don't change them, we will knock on the door." ”
"Knock on the door?" The third grandfather laughed angrily. Chen thought that this was Gujia Village, so she had to toss? Those who can buy these old cotton clothes can only buy clothes made of messy linen and old wool.
Gu Dagui pulled the three old cotton clothes in Chen's hand and scolded: "Are you finished?" You know when we were back home, where are we now? It's in Yuchang Mansion, thousands of miles away, and you still want to make trouble on other people's territory, I think you're tired of being crooked. ”
The strong dragons don't suppress the snakes, they are just the victims who fled the famine, what do they use to hit the door?
Chen was scolded by Gu Dagui like this, and he didn't dare to shout loudly anymore, but said in a low voice: "This is too expensive...... We don't have much money in our hands, Brother Wang is still sick, if Brother Fa is frozen again, what can we do? ”
Saying that, he actually cried, and said to Gu Dafu while crying: "Uncle, our family is not separated, you can't watch Brother Wang and Brother Fa freeze to death." ”
When Gu Dagui heard this, he was so angry that he raised his hand to hit Chen. Chen hurriedly dodged, ran to the side, pulled up Fa Ge'er, and hugged Brother Wang, who was still asleep, and cried quietly.
"Dagui, stop." Gu Dafu scolded Gu Dagui, and after being silent for a while, he said to the third grandfather: "Third uncle, our family adds money, you give us five old cotton clothes and two thick clothes." ”
Chen is right, their family is not separated, and he should take care of the family's food and clothing.
Gu Dagui said: "Big brother, you don't need to give us money, we will give it ourselves, although our family is not divided, but the money in each room is held by ourselves, there is no reason for you to give us money." ”
Dad was worried that they would be separated on the way to escape the famine, so he had already distributed the family's money to them, and they would get a share in each room, but the eldest brother did not get an extra copper plate, so there was no reason to buy cotton clothes for their family now.
Gu Dafu has gone through the matter of the wicked people killing the victims, and now attaches great importance to family affection: "Dagui, if you still treat me as a big brother, don't say it anymore." ”
"Big brother ......" Gu Dagui didn't want it, but Gu Dafu directly took out three taels of silver and handed it to the third grandfather.
When everyone went shopping together, Chen gave half a tael of silver, he gave one tael, and now he gives another three taels, which is enough to buy five cotton clothes and two thick clothes.
"It's more, and the clothes are two hundred dollars a piece." After the third grandfather took the silver, he took out the money bag and counted six hundred big coins to Gu Dafu.
Seeing that Gu Dafu gave the money, Chen hurriedly ran over, picked out two old cotton clothes in the basket, and then pulled one cotton coat from Gu Dagui's hand, and left with three old cotton clothes.
These three old cotton clothes belonged to her and her two sons, and the remaining two cotton clothes were divided by the two brothers Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui, and she would not be frozen.
Gu Yumei couldn't wait to tear the Chen family. Chen only gave half a tael of silver, but took away three old cotton clothes, and her father gave four taels of silver, only in exchange for two cotton clothes and two silk clothes, is there still heavenly reason?
He also complained that Gu Dafu was stupid and spent money to buy losses.
Gu Yumei knew that the old cotton clothes were not enough, and she couldn't stand the cold, so she threw away her reserve, ran over and took away a flower cotton coat in Gu Dagui's hand, and immediately put it on her body.
Gu Dexing was afraid that he would not be able to share the cotton clothes, so he hurriedly ripped away the last old cotton clothes in Gu Dagui's hand.
Gu Dagui didn't blame them, he just chose two thicker clothes and handed one of them to Gu Dafu.
The third grandfather looked at the few families in the straw shed and said: "The price of these things is higher than we expected, and the money everyone gives can't buy too many things. If you don't want it, I'll give you back the money. ”
The things were bought several times more expensive than expected, and several families were in pain. Like Yan's and Aunt Tian, they thought about not buying it, and they might be able to get through it, but Gu Damu and Uncle Tian insisted on buying it.
Gu Damu said: "Third uncle, I don't blame you for this, we have to live if we add money." ”
Gu Damu added silver money and bought old cotton clothes for the children in the family and the old Yan family, and he and Yan and Gu Dalin bought thick clothes.
Aunt Tian's family is poor and can't afford to buy old cotton clothes, so she can only buy clothes.
After the third grandfather received the money, he asked them to choose their own clothes to protect them from the cold, and only when they picked out the rest did they take it themselves.
Gu Jinli's family had the silver money given by Qi Yi, and specially asked Luo's father to buy more cold things for their family, and most of the things that Luo's father carried were Gu Jinli's family.
There are not only old cotton clothes, silk clothes, old cloth, but also broken quilts, needles and threads.
Gu Jinli picked up a few old cotton clothes and sent them to Gu Jinxiu, the third grandmother, Cui's, and Cheng Ge'er: "Mother, eldest sister, you put on the cotton clothes quickly, you can't freeze." ”
Cui's and Gu Jinxiu took the old cotton clothes, and first covered them with the sleeping Cheng Ge'er and the third grandmother, and then put on their cotton clothes.
Gu Jinli was holding a gray cotton coat with a few small holes in her hand, she opened the holes, pulled out a little washed and yellowed cotton, and after making sure that it was really filled with cotton, she sighed in her heart: This is really a chaotic dynasty.
There are soybeans in the Great Chu Dynasty, but there is no such thing as tofu, soybeans are one of the staple foods of the people of Great Chu, which is used to cook and eat; There is a dock fort of the Han Dynasty, but it cannot raise private soldiers; The style of clothes she wore was also similar to that of the Han Dynasty, which made her think that the Great Chu Dynasty was the ancient Han Dynasty.
But there are thousands of households in the Great Chu Dynasty, which is like the Ming Dynasty.
Now, she knows that there is cotton in the Great Chu Dynasty.
Cotton began to appear in the Song Dynasty, and before that, the ancients used to keep out the cold things were flocculents, reed flowers, and all kinds of fluff.
In short, the Great Chu Dynasty is like Huaxia, but it is different from Huaxia in that it is a combination of Han, Song and Ming.
Gu Jinli put on his old cotton clothes, ran back and asked the third grandfather: "Third grandfather, have you bought the medicinal materials?" ”
"Bought it, in this basket." The third grandfather pointed to a basket at Qin Sanlang's feet and said.
This time, they not only bought clothes to protect them from the cold, but also bought some coarse grains and medicinal herbs.
Yuchang Mansion was also affected, and the nearby farmers did not have much food, only selling them some sweet potatoes and beans, but these coarse grains were delicious compared to eating grass roots and leaves.
As for the medicinal materials, Gu Jinli specially explained that he wanted to buy them.
There are too few types of medicinal materials she can find, and there are no important medicinal materials for the treatment of wind and cold, so if you want everyone's wind cold to get better quickly, you must buy medicine.
The third grandfather couldn't get into the city, so the third grandfather and the others bought medicine from the barefoot doctor in the nearby village, but the amount of medicinal materials they bought was not much, but fortunately, they bought all the medicinal materials that mainly treat wind and cold.
When Qin Sanlang heard the words of the third grandfather, he took out the bundles of herbs under the basket and handed them to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu take it." ”
