Now that he is famous, in the next few days, Liu Chenxing will no longer be famous.

First, there are not many banquets suitable for her to attend, and there are almost no that can make her name more famous, even if she wants to run it, she has nowhere to implement it. On the other hand, although I know that it is the mainstream to take the name of talent nowadays, I also have to be hard-willed, and at the last moment before the exam, it is better to prepare for the exam quietly.

It's just that at the end of the year, before the closed training like the modern college entrance examination, you have to prepare the New Year's goods, after all, people not only survive, but also live.

Especially Uncle Liu has lived alone in Chang'an for eight years, and now that she Ah Xing is here, why should she buy a lively New Year, so that Uncle Liu can feel the warmth of home.

Thinking of this, Liu Chenxing suddenly geared up and was eager to try.

This day is the second day of the winter solstice, I don't know but into the thirty-nine days, the temperature plummeted, although it has not snowed yet, but the air is foggy.

Although the people of Chang'an are rich, the stove is still too expensive, and the ordinary people are still too reluctant to consume, most of them are the same as their hometown Anjia Village, digging a deep pit in the middle of the hall to make a hearth, and then using firewood much cheaper than charcoal to pile up in the hearth to keep warm.

Although there is a choking smell of smoke from firewood, the heat that can be released is very sufficient.

However, there are rice paper and books in the study, and digging a deep pit to make a hearth is too easy to catch fire, and this is a rented house, so it is not easy to change it at will, so after the weather is cold, I will transfer to the hall to study.

There are two main rooms, it is the hall and the study, the study has windows and doors, the hall does not say the doors and windows, that is, there is no whole wall in the south, and it is dark early in winter, just the light shines in through the south side of the hall, which is quite bright.

……

There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone.

This is the ancient poem "Plum Blossom" of Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty, there happens to be a plum tree in the corner of the courtyard of Cheng Lan's house next door, and the plum blossoms bloomed just right this morning, so I folded a few branches and sent them over to insert the bottle.

Uncle Liu is a pragmatic man, Rao is careful, and he doesn't have the spare time to buy vases to decorate the house.

It is said that nephews are like uncles, nieces are like aunts, Liu Chenxing is most likely an outlier, she is a pragmatic person like Liu Wensu, since she came to Chang'an to take charge of the family's three meals a day, she really doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are, where are you willing to spend money to buy vases, even if it is a coarse porcelain vase, you can buy two catties of coarse salt, why buy a vase that is not useful?

But now he is half a literati, and he is indispensable to be vassal, Liu Chenxing took the coarse porcelain jar in the kitchen and put it on the bookcase, which is also quite elegant.

However, when Uncle Liu went to the appointment of his colleagues this morning, when he saw this plum blossom, he proposed a poem "Yongmei", and asked a poem and a poem.

Liu Chenxing had to work hard to finish today's homework before he had time to sit on the bookcase next to the hearth in front of the New Year's goods list, but halfway through writing, he couldn't help but hold the pen and stop, just looked at the golden plum on the table with a dark fragrance floating and sighed.

Liu Qingshan sat on the left side of the hearth to study, and sat face to face with Liu Chenxing across the stove, and when he heard the sigh, he asked, "What's wrong?" But not satisfied with the poem? I'll take a look. ”

As he spoke, he put down the brush, got up and walked over, but saw that on the rice paper written by Liu Chenxing, what kind of poems were there, but a list of some firewood, rice, oil, salt and other things, and the price was written in detail later.

The brother and sister grew up together, who doesn't know who, and Liu Qingshan is also a person who has suffered, and he still has a very good idea of Qian Bao, that is, now that Qian Bao has been handed over to Liu Chenxing, he has paid less attention to it, and now he knows it when he sees it, and sits down cross-legged on the end of the bookcase, and says: "But the money is not enough to spend?" ”

Liu Chenxing felt that men still had to have feelings about money, so he didn't hide it: "We set off from home in mid-July, and we brought a total of ten collars of gold, which is six hundred yuan. ”

"The poor family is rich, we didn't wronged ourselves along the way, and when we arrived in Chang'an, we had gone to thirty-two times."

"This Chang'an is not self-sufficient compared to the food and everything at home, food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from money, Uncle Liu has paid for the accommodation, and we are not good to let Uncle Liu give the money for food and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so the daily living expenses have gone to eight times in the past two months."

"I also did three times in Pingkangfang some time ago, and at the beginning of the month, I went to Cui Xiang's Mansion to have a banquet and bring gifts, and this is twenty times gone."

I always knew that my sister had the habit of keeping accounts, and I also knew that Chang'an was expensive and expensive, but at first glance, when I heard Liu Chenxing calculate it one by one, Liu Qingshan was still shocked, and couldn't help but gasp, and said: "Thirty-two, eight, and twenty, that is, we have already spent sixty!?" ”

If it weren't for the fur business at home in the past two years, I wouldn't have earned 60 yuan a year, but now I have only been out for four or five months, and I have only gone to 60 yuan in half a year.

As soon as Liu Qingshan calculated the account in his heart, he couldn't sit still, stood up and paced back and said: "Listen to Brother Xue, raise your son to the dignitary Chen Qishifu, and give the wealth and silk according to the rules at least ten times at a time!" Fortunately, your calligraphy and my writing have been well received at Cui Xiangyan's banquet, otherwise it would have cost another volume or two for the sake of fame, wouldn't it cost another ......"

As he spoke, he gasped again, but he didn't dare to count it anymore, so he only said: "If you can't pass the exam in the future, you still have to make a plan for your life." ”

Uncle Liu at home is a conspicuous example, including all the way up to the imperial examination, and found that many poor people are the same as Uncle Liu, except for studying, they don't have anything to do with production at all, Liu Chenxing doesn't want Brother to become like this, so he took the opportunity to say like when he was a child: "Brother, you forgot that after Uncle passed the provincial examination, he still kept the election and waited for four years before becoming a school scholar, that is, whether we are admitted or not, we have to make a plan for life after the year." ”

Liu Qingshan's shoulders collapsed when he heard this, sat cross-legged back to the end of the bookcase, and complained: "Ah Xing, why do you always want to expose the ruthless reality, and you don't have to worry that your brother can't bear it." ”

At the beginning of the month, when I came back from the banquet in Cui Xiang's mansion, it looked like it had been ten days, and they didn't go out to the banquet again, in addition to studying all day long, it was a bit boring, and when I saw Liu Qingshan playing treasure, Liu Chenxing couldn't help but laugh and said: "Then I'll comfort you, at the current rate of spending money, even if you sit and eat empty, it will take three or four years." So brother, you can still give birth for a few years, right? ”

Chang'an, who is unfamiliar with life, how can he sit and eat empty?

Liu Qingshan knew that Ah Mei was deliberately angry with himself like this, and he also knew Liu Chenxing's plan, so he replied immediately: "Ah Xing, now that there are five hundred and forty guan left, you don't plan to buy a house and collect rent?" ”

Liu Chenxing's heart was filled with a question, affected by modern concepts, the houses in the imperial capital can be sold at a sky-high price, so when she heard her uncle say that she could buy a house in Chang'an for 500 yuan, she had a plan to buy a house.

When I came, I realized that the house of 500 guan is a remote and dilapidated old house in Chang'an, and now it costs money like running water, how dare you take all the money to buy a house? Don't you eat or drink?

It's really difficult to buy a house in modern times, and it's also difficult to buy a house in ancient times!

Life is up and down everywhere, and this is not enough to be happy about the solution, and then I am worried about my livelihood.
