"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law? Please also ask my sister-in-law to wake up, I have something to worry about. ”

With a lazy "belch", just because no guest came to the door for a long time, the second daughter-in-law of the Qi family, who was leaning on her side and napping in the wine vat at the moment, heard someone calling, and hurriedly rubbed her sleepy eyes with her right hand, and looked up at the sound.

I saw a young man who looked about 20 times, wore a black linen covered Qinghai stone-topped melon skin hat, wore a navy blue right placket and a buttoned gown, and carried a light wooden tent bookcase, dressed as a scholar, at this time, he was politely arching his hands at him, and at the same time he was smiling at himself with a kind smile that showed six white teeth.

"This time I disturbed my sister-in-law's sleep, Xiaosheng really had something to annoy my sister-in-law."

Seeing that it was Xiucai who came to the door, the Qi Er family did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and was busy clasping his hands at his side to fold his hands in reply.

"Xianggong is blessed, the whole family of the people depends on this wine shop to live, and it is a big fault that a guest arrives at the door but fails to get up and greet him with a smile, what is Xianggong talking about? The woman dared to ask the minister, but she wanted to eat the wine of the shop? ”

When the young Xiucai heard this, he immediately laughed: "Sister-in-law is really insightful, now this wine worm in Xiaosheng's belly is making trouble." ”

After that, Xiucai took out a pig belly soaked in tung oil and stuffed with a roll of papyrus as a stopper from the bookbox behind him: "Sister-in-law of labor, four taels of soju." ”

With a particularly pleasant "jingling" sound, there were suddenly twelve more square-hole copper coins on the board in front of Qi Erjia, and one of the money boards was spinning and turning when it fell on the wine table.

Seeing that the copper coin was turning slower and slower, the front gradually revealed the four italic embosses of Jiaqing Tongbao.

Yes, this is the fourth year of Jiaqing.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Renzong had just given the ministers and Shen a prison to raid their homes, and in the middle of the year, he made a story of a golden plaque and set up a new elder brother as the prince.

For this reason, Emperor Renzong also issued a special edict to amnesty the world, at this time the Central Plains is a river, Qinghai Yan, the people and the happy phase.

It is said that this young talent who came to sell wine is surnamed Yang Mingyu, and he follows the words, and just a few months ago he entered school with the green eyes of Mengxian County, and won the third list in one fell swoop.

It was only because of the early death of Yang Xiucai's biological mother that a few years ago, his father asked a matchmaker to protect his concubine, and he was able to marry the sister of Xu Dahu in a neighboring county.

Less than a year after Yang Xu's passing, she became pregnant, and she gave birth in October, adding another boy to Yangmen.

Since then, in less than five years, the Yang Xu family has been giving birth three times before and after, adding two men and one woman to the Yang family.

This was originally a good thing, but after giving birth to a son and a child several times, the Yang Xu family gradually thought that he was already the most meritorious of the Yang family, and gradually regarded himself as a housekeeper when he acted.

Yang's father, who was originally a housekeeper, was a middle-aged child, and Zhenri was busy playing with his children, and he had no intention of taking care of the family's affairs for the time being, so he let Yang Xu's trespassing.

But it is said that since the housekeeper of the Yang Xu family, he has blindly appointed private individuals, only caring about accumulating the body in the makeup box, and there is no fairness in his actions.

Na Yang Congxun was old at this time, and he also hired his husband to teach him at home, and the daily expenses such as clothing, food, and lodging increased day by day.

And Yang Xu naturally has a lot of complaints about this, often disgusted Yang Congxun, he squeezed out his own children's family property, and people said a lot of gossip about Yang Congxun, which is full of words that are not yin and yang.

The book is brief, Yang Congxun has suffered several rounds of white eyes from his stepmother over the years, and even the monthly silver that should be received every month has also been deducted by his stepmother, and the amount of money in his hands is very urgent for a while.

Fortunately, Yang Congxun passed the exam when he took the exam, and after he got the show, Yang Congxun went to visit his father.

After greeting An, Yang Congxun confided in his father, saying that there was no best teacher in the local academy, and he was afraid that his future would be delayed by continuing to study here.

At first glance, Yang Xu, who heard that Yang Congxun wanted to leave home, thought that he had heard evil ears for a while, and after repeatedly confirming that it was true, he was overjoyed for a while, thinking that since Yang Congxun went out, there was no one in the house who was not an eyesore.

However, Yang Xu's time was not happy for long, it turned out that a few days ago, Master Yang had just bought a lot of silk satin, and the capital turnover was not effective for a while, and it was not possible to get the money now.

After thinking about it, Master Yang came to discuss with Yang Xu to see if he could first wrap Yang Cong out of the back house.

That Yang Xu's is a person who sees a penny bigger than the sky, and this money is to be given to Yang Congxun, a 'thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh', this is called Yang Xu's How can she take out the money willingly?

But Yang Xu did not want to continue to stay at home Yang Congxun, after some meditation, Yang Xu thought about it, turned around and went to Master Yang, and slandered that Yang Congxun was still young and had never married a family.

This time, it is better to give Yang Cong two taels of Sichuan money, and when he finds a suitable academy, he can ask the academy to send a letter home to ask for silver.

Although Master Yang felt that it was really cold to let his son go out with two taels of silver, he couldn't stand Yang Xu's persuasion again and again.

And Master Yang thought about it, and said that these two taels of silver would not go far, and it would be a good thing to make his son closer to home, so he nodded and agreed.

However, Master Yang made a lot of calculations but missed a calculation, even if he went out to study, he still needed to present a bundle of worship to the teacher before he could be admitted to the hospital.

These two taels of silver still have to pay Yang Congxun to eat, drink, sleep and lodging all the way, and he really can't handle these many things.

Later, thanks to a servant of the Yang family, he couldn't see this, and specially moved five taels of silver from his own private savings to help the young master, and Yang Cong followed him to make the trip.

It is said that Yang Congxun followed his trip to go out to relax, and there was no planned place to go at first, but in the past, he had heard his classmates say that this Yi County, Hebei Province has good ink, and whoever goes to the capital to take the exam, often detours to Yi County, and grabs a few ink sticks from Yi County to give gifts to relatives and friends.

Yang Congxun thought that this place rich in the four treasures of the study must be a place where Wensheng is prominent, so he might as well go to Yixian County to try his luck first, even if he can't find a favorite academy, it is also a great thing to be able to exchange a few ink sticks on the road and take them home.

It is said that after Yang Congxun left home, he took the road all the way to the north, and traveled on the road for fourteen or fifteen days, and came to the city of Yizhou on this day.

At this time, it was dog weather, Yang Cong followed him and was shy, and he had never hired a carriage or horse, and he was sweating and dry on the way.

Just when Yang Xiucai was thirsty for water, a gust of breeze drifted through with a mellow aroma of wine, which attracted Yang Cong to follow him to the front of the Qi family's wine shop.

Seeing that the guests really came to sell wine, the two Qi families immediately smiled like flowers, and hurriedly took the pig belly in Yang Congxun's hand: "The woman will go to pour wine, and please be patient." ”

"In this way, I will be born by my sister-in-law."

(Note: During the Qing Dynasty, iron kettles, tin cups, bronze utensils and other items were very expensive, and it was difficult for ordinary people to use them daily.) Therefore, it is often used to fry pork brisket, that is, pig urine bubbles as a kettle, in addition to the appearance is not very pleasing, it is also light and durable.

In addition, at that time, the term Xianggong specifically referred to a scholar with meritorious fame such as Xiucai Juren, which meant to compliment the other party for having the great talent of the prime minister; After the Republic of China, this minister will refer to the husband. ）
