Chapter 10: Sudden Disaster

In this era of no queen, the mother has never been pregnant, and the father has not taken a concubine when the family road has not declined, I think the relationship between the father and the mother is still very strong, she heard the mother talk about it, the mother and the father who traveled abroad is a love!

And as soon as her grandfather saw her father's dowry, he happily married his mother to his father, his father was dignified, and his mother was also a beauty made in a hundred, it was a match made in heaven, and the wedding was very grand, but at that time, I was envious of the half-sister who was one year younger than my mother, and I was always proud when I talked about my mother, and then she turned silent, she knew that my mother remembered those sad days.

And Shen Xue's father was originally his father's scholar, and Tong's mother signed a deed of sale with her mother's family, and she married her after getting married. Later, her mother matched her with her father's scholar to become a parent, and because of the defeat of the family, her mother dismissed the house slaves, so she let Tong's mother free and let her and Shen Xue's father go out alone. Who knew that Shen Xue's father was so short-lived, he lost his life on the battlefield for the first time, and Tong's mother became a widow not long after she got married.

Mu Bingyue thought of this, and looked at her mother who was writing a letter, her good appearance in the past was now full of vicissitudes of life from day and night work. She couldn't help but stroke her cheeks, now her appearance is indeed a trace of her parents who have not followed this life, and between her eyebrows and eyes are still the appearance of that world, she is really afraid that one day her mother will mention it, and she is afraid of arousing her father's suspicion, after all, her appearance is rare in the era of artificial beauties in that world, and it is extremely jealous, and there is this bead in this life, she really doesn't know what her mother and father will think in the future.

Mu Bingyue knew that no matter how worried she was now, it would be useless, so she had to put her mind down for the time being and help Tong's mother pack her things.

Li wrote a letter about Mu Chengjie's purchase of wool and sheep, and handed over the goods and deposit to the local boat owner who hired him, and hired another person to help the boat owner bring the sheep back.

Time is in a hurry, most of the month has passed, the boat transporting sheep has returned, Mu Bingyue and her family also purchased five sheep, she asked her mother to call those embroidery girls to the house, and asked those women who can spin sheep felt to teach them the weaving method, the principle is the same, but there is more process for screening wool, but she asked the carpenter master early in the morning to do the brush they said, in fact, it is similar to a modern brush, but the hair is shorter and harder.

As the saying goes, who makes perfect, this time everyone is not a piece of clothing to the end, but a group of people according to the process. The efficiency has improved a lot, because everyone is done quickly, so they don't want to run around, and they all gather at their house, and when they finish it, they will hand it over to the next person to complete the process, and the life is getting faster and faster, so she asked her mother to make a large parasol with oilcloth and stand in the courtyard, and everyone worked under the umbrella, and Shen Xue was responsible for cooking the meals of the fifty or so people.

Because of the complexity of the process, they have made more than 100 pieces in the past month, but fortunately, because it is a new product, the armament people only said that it was ready, and they took it to see, but it was not limited and the parts were not fixed. When they were ready, they sent their clothes to the barracks, and they also hired the shipwrews and men from the last time.

Mu Bingyue knew that if he wanted to rely on the army to make money, it would not be possible to achieve it in the short term in the case of a shortage of funds.

She heard from Shen Xue that almost all of those who live in the city have estates, and the demand for fruits and vegetables is not very large, so it is impossible to make a fortune from organic green food. And the only advantage she can rely on here is the large number of left-behind women, whose handicrafts are not picky.

She had observed that because everyone here could weave cloth, but because of the small production, only two or three pieces of cloth were produced in a month, so there were few sales, and they were basically sold to local cloth shops, and they didn't make much money. If she buys these cloths and sends them to those large merchant ships that pass through Weicheng but do not dock here, presumably the benefits of bulk direct sales are considerable.

When she told her mother and mother about her idea, both of them agreed very much.

The next day, Li and Li Tong went door-to-door to buy cloth together, of course, they did not pay the bill, but recorded it in the account first, and returned the money after the sale.

Because each company's existing inventory is only two or three horses, even if they are deceived, they will not lose much, and they have heard that the price is higher than that of the cloth store, so they have taken out the inventory. After all the sums of them, they received more than 500 pieces of cloth.

Because she didn't know when the big merchant ship would pass, Tong's mother asked her to wait at home with her mother, and she got into a carriage and went to the canal by herself under the scorching sun.

She and her mother waited anxiously at home, and did not wait for Tong's mother until the end of the day.

Mu Bingyue couldn't hide the joy on Tong's mother's face, so the governor was done.

The sun outside was scorching, and it was no longer chattering outside, Mu Bingyue saw that Tong's mother was unloading from the carriage, and she was shocked, and she didn't ask.

When everyone came into the house, Li twisted a hand towel to wipe Li Tong's sweat, and Shen Xue gave his mother a cup of herbal tea.

Li Tong didn't bother to wipe his face when he took it, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss, you would never have thought of how much silver the slave maid earned today?" ”

After Li Tong finished speaking, she saw that everyone was looking at her anxiously, and she didn't dare to sell Guanzi: "It's six hundred taels of silver!" ”

Mu Bingyue listened to it and quickly calculated an account, excluding the unpaid five hundred and twenty-five taels for the purchase of cloth, the car and boat fares, and the remaining more than fifty taels after a rough calculation. You must know that this is 50,000 yuan in the 21st century, which is a lot of money.

Fortunately, they are all hired acquaintances' cars and boats, otherwise with so much silver, Mu Bingyue is really a little scared when she thinks about it, who knows that Tong's mother has sold it all at once!

"Tong'er, tell me why it's so easy to sell?" Li pulled Li Tong to sit down and poured her another glass of water.

Li Tong took a sip of water before he spoke: "Miss, this time, it's really lucky!" The slave waited for a long time, and then passed two boats, and the price was not very ideal, and the slave waited and waited, and then came to a slightly higher bid, but unfortunately it only took a dozen pieces of cloth, and the slave and maid were panicking, and the cost of paying for the car and boat was not enough! Then a large merchant ship passed, and when the slave and maid came near, the boatman called a man out, and the man looked like a god of wealth, and heard the slave and maid say that there was cloth for sale, but let me get on the boat, and at last I looked at it, and said that I wanted it all. The boss's surname was Fu, and while the servants were carrying the goods, he invited the slaves to his warehouse. Miss, don't you know, the slave maid can be regarded as an eye-opener this time, the library is full of silk and satin, gold and jade porcelain, and the slave's eyes are spent. ”

Li Tong poured another cup of tea, drank it with a bang, and continued: "Boss Nafu was not impatient when he saw that the slave and maid did not buy anything, so he gave the slave and maid silver, and said that the merchant ship would return in twenty days!" If there is stock, ask the slave to sell it to him! ”

Li Shi was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and Shen Xue also smiled from ear to ear.

Mu Bingyue listened to Tong's mother talk about the scale of the big ship, it is expected to be a ship that runs merchants from various countries, and the price is high enough, what they want to do is a long-term business, if they get together with this Fu boss, they will not worry about sales in the future.

Approaching the evening, the weather was cooler, so Li and Li Tong went separately to deliver silver to each family, and Shen Xue also went to help, but Mu Bingyue didn't go because of the slow walking of people's calves.

The Li family walked for a while, and Mu Bingyue was silently thinking about making money at home, when she heard footsteps outside the door, thinking that her mother was back, but who knew that a masked gangster broke in.

Seeing the bright big knife in the hand of the visitor, Mu Bingyue's heart suddenly jumped a few times, but she forced her composure to scare the man: "My mother will be back soon, and the acquaintance should leave quickly." ”

The masked gangster looked around, and when he saw that the adult was not at home, he suddenly became a lot bolder, and lowered his voice: "Little girl, don't make a noise obediently, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut you with a knife." ”

Mu Bingyue thought to herself that this person must have known that the family had come to rob the money today. This place is in the middle of nowhere, there is no one next to the home, it is useless to shout by yourself, and the broken silver in the house is also called by the mother and the mother to take it, thinking that the gangster can't find the money, he will leave, so she is silent, let the gangster rummage in the house.

Seeing that the intimidation was working, the masked gangster proudly rummaged in the house, but he didn't find anything valuable for a long time, and suddenly put the knife on Mu Bingyue's neck in anger: "Little girl, tell me where is your family's silver?" Otherwise, don't blame me! ”

Mu Bingyue smelled the smell of wine on his body, and was afraid of provoking him to cut it down, so he had to say: "My poor family only has half a jar of rice left, and the silver is all from someone else's, how can our family have silver?" ”

The masked gangster frowned, looked around, and saw that his family was not as good as his, so he couldn't help but believe it a little, and said to himself blankly: "Could it be that the ship is big and frames me?" But he still didn't let go.

Mu Bingyue saw that he believed half of it, and she didn't dare to say more, she thought that the person would leave if she couldn't find something, but who knew that the person withdrew the knife but carried her on her shoulder.

Mu Bingyue was born in a civilized society, and her wallet was stolen a few times, where did she experience such a thing?

When she came back to her senses, she was already carried out of the door by the man, Mu Bingyue suddenly remembered that in ancient times, there were often flower shooters, and if she was really abducted, she couldn't say where to sell it!

Thinking of this, she struggled hard, but helplessly, her strength was more than that of a middle-aged man, and in the panic, her eyes unintentionally glanced at the man's exposed ears, and she bit down hard in a hurry.

The man suddenly let out a howl like killing a pig, and Mu Bingyue also fell to the ground.

Mu Bingyue was afraid that the person would throw her down, so she hurriedly protected her head after biting, but she was still blackened by the fall, and before she could see the things in front of her, she was kicked in the chest. In an instant, Mu Bingyue's ears lost all sounds, and it seemed that someone had pressed the mute button, and even she couldn't hear her own emergency breathing at this time. Her heart almost stopped beating at first, then slowly quickened to the point where she could barely bear it
