Compared with business, the future of one's children is more important, Liu Qianli said: "There is nothing to shop, go directly to the cloth shop." ”

There's really not much to shop about.

After shopping for most of the day, I found that the population of the state city is large, and the consumption power is not low, but everything is sold.

For example, their family's main source of money all year round - selling mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other mountain goods, has long been a food fashion in the state city.

The economic development of the state city provides a material basis for "not getting tired of eating and not getting tired of being fine", and also allows more people in the state city to be freed from hard work and pursue a more refined lifestyle, and "vegetarian" is one of them.

In addition, the Cui clan of Qinghe is one of the most prestigious five surnames and seven clans in the country, and there are many Gaomen scholars who have been inherited for hundreds of years or even thousands of miles in Qinghe.

The so-called three generations can cultivate a nobleman, and Qinghe Gaomen is not only three generations, they are influenced by Confucianism, thinking about how to live in harmony and sustainability between man and nature, and they also advocate more in the diet of "alienating fat, eating vegetables and ferns and being willing".

The upward and downward effects, of course, are mainly due to the prosperity of the current prosperity, and the people of the state city also follow the vegetarian diet, which has given birth to the flexible hawkers, who harvest ready-made mountain delicacies in the surrounding villages at a low price, and then transfer them to the state city at a high price.

And because there are more people selling, the price is not high, if they go to great lengths to sell mountain goods, although they do not worry about sales, but in addition to the investment of manpower and material resources, they will not make money at all.

In addition, the fur also inquired, the local people in the state city have a good face, and those who can get by a little bit have to come to wear fur for the winter in winter.

Kezhou City is a city of transport, there are many wharves, there are countless goods up and down the port in a year, fur is one of them, mink fur and the like are still very expensive, exclusively for the nobles of the city to enjoy, but it is very cheap to take the rabbit fur and the like, so that their price has no advantage.

Therefore, it is pointless to go on shopping, in short, the business will not develop in the state city.

Liu Chenxing walked around in the morning, and his heart was clear, but it was a pity that his family couldn't find a way to make money from such a rich and prosperous state city.

Only by patting the three small gold bars hidden in the placket of her clothes, Liu Chenxing had some comfort, with these four hundred extra income, she should be content, so she nodded and listened to Aya's suggestion, and went directly to the cloth shop to see the ready-to-wear.

The eldest aunt, Lao Liu, runs a cloth shop business in the state city, and they also planned to find a time to visit after the exam, but it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so they simply go today.

The grandfather immediately went to the dim sum shop and bought two boxes of desserts.

Sugar is a precious thing, snacks with sugar, and a wooden box, since you can take it, it is a little more expensive, a box of eight pieces, the size of an adult's palm, you have to 200 wen a box.

I went to the liquor store again to buy alcohol.

People like soju, but when the world court jade liquor, Yizhou famous liquor, that is, a kind of shochu in modern Sichuan, Jiannan shochu can not think of it, so buy better sake, that is, than the home-brewed mash-like turbid liquor is a little clearer, the alcohol content is higher, the cheapest three hundred wen a bucket, the most expensive two through a bucket, so I bought two catties of the most expensive sake, even the wine bottle a total of four hundred wen.

In this way, two boxes of desserts, two catties of good sake, and 800 wen are gone.

But seeing the wealth of the state city, as well as the relatives of the eldest aunt and the servants in the carriage every year, and gave their brothers and sisters New Year's gifts for several years, they had to buy some decent return gifts.

After preparing the visit ceremony, the grandfather ate cold noodles at the street stall again, and asked for the way to find the cloth shop of the eldest aunt Lao Liu's house.

is also lucky, the eldest aunt Lao Liu and the eldest grandfather are actually there.

For a while, I greeted at the door of the cloth shop and came to the courtyard behind to talk.

A long wooden table, the eldest aunt and grandfather each sit in two sections, the brother and sister sit on one side, and Liu Qianli and the aunt's cousin sit on the other side.

When the maid took the black plum juice that had been frozen in the well water and distributed it to everyone, Lao Liu said: "I think about Qingshan and Ah Xing going to the exam, you are going to come to my trip, the place where you live is not easy to find, but the cloth shop is easy to find, so I come to the cloth shop every once in a while." ”

Back then, thanks to the eldest aunt Lao Liu, Liu Chenxing still liked this elder very much, and saw that Lao Liu's hair was half white, and he felt a little emotional, so he said: "Uncle every time he takes the state exam, he lives with you, and it will not be good for our father and son to disturb again, and we have to prepare for the exam, so we have to wait until today." ”

Hearing Liu Chenxing talk about the exam, he thought of the state exam list that had spread all over the city earlier, and the wrinkles on Lao Liu's face immediately burst into laughter, "Your uncle seems to have sprained his foot before the exam, and he didn't send it to the exam, so he didn't come." ”

As he spoke, he took a sip of black plum juice, and then changed his words, "But it's a good thing that I didn't come, otherwise I would have compared with your two nephews and nieces, and he, an old man who has been taking the exam for more than ten years, still has a face." ”

No wonder I haven't seen the uncle's reference, it turns out that this is the case, and the brother and sister look at each other.

Listening to the eldest aunt Lao Liu's unkind words, Liu Chenxing almost wanted to give her a thumbs up.

However, when people are old, they miss family affection the most, and Mrs. Liu is the younger brother of her mother's compatriots, and the old Liu sighed: "I am old with your grandfather, and Anjia Village can't go back a few times, I hope that after this time, you Ah Weng can wake up and stop blindly getting used to Liu Wanli." ”

all called Liu Wanli by his name, and was obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Wanli.

However, Liu Chenxing's brother and sister are juniors, and Liu Qianli is a younger brother, but it is not good to say that Liu Wanli is not good outside, so he can only be silent.

Although the old Liu family is seventy years old, his brain is still good, and when he saw this, he understood it, so he changed his words and said: "It's good now, my old Liu family has your brothers and sisters, and it is also a glorious lintel." When you become a jinshi in the future, and then become an official, not only will the old Liu family become an official eunuch from then on, but even merchants like us will be less humiliated because of their relatives. Therefore, you must take this money, not too much, just two collars, which will be used as your brother and sister's future examination funds. ”

As he spoke, he asked the only son to take out the small wooden box that he had prepared and put it on the table.

I was afraid that the master would not accept it, and added: "The provincial test is going to Chang'an, and everything is inseparable from money, and I heard that thousands of people gather in Chang'an every year, but there are less than 30 people in the Jinshi every year." The eldest aunt knows that your brothers and sisters are talented, but if you don't get into the exam for a year, you have to take the exam for a few more years, and these two collars can also solve the urgent need. Besides, the eldest aunt is also selfish, that is, I hope that you will be able to take more care of merchants like us when you become a jinshi in the future. ”

It's just that they are afraid that the eldest aunt will be funded too much, so they have not come.

But now that it's all about this, how can they refuse again?

What's more, as the eldest aunt said, more than 1,000 students have only been admitted to less than 30, can they ensure that they will be successful at the first time? is as talented as Uncle Liu, and it took several years to be able to enter high school, so why should they? The more abundant the qualifications, the better.

Liu Chenxing thought about it for a while, and remembered that at that time, the children of the poor family went to Beijing to catch the examination fee, and many of his relatives helped him, so he finally nodded secretly to his father and brother, and signaled that he had received the two collars, that is, one hundred and twenty yuan.

But he didn't dare to mention the words of buying ready-to-wear anymore, he was really afraid that the old Liu family would not collect money again, so the grandfather had to leave early, and the brother and sister went to other cloth shops to buy a suit and go to the banquet to drink.
