Chapter 14: My name is Wei Ming
All the rich families in Anqiu County know in their hearts that after two years of famine, the rich families don't have much money in their hands, so they can't just throw money all over the sky for friendship and face, right?
I couldn't open the source, so I had to throttle.
Everyone politely left the brothers of the Sheng family, and that's it.
Sheng Qiming pouted and ate the vegetables vigorously, he didn't negotiate a business, this meal was for nothing, how much he could eat back.
The people at the table were bored and compared with chopsticks, and no one thought about the little girl lying under the window, frowned, and rolled her eyes.
No one knows what she is planning, she only says that a meal is swept away, and each goes back to his own place.
On the carriage, Sheng Qiming, the second master, said: "Brother, is this Tao family a liar?" ”
His eldest brother, Sheng Qixian, asked him to be quieter, "No matter what, people bought our grain, and they also asked the local rich families to buy it together." ”
But he repeatedly said in his letter that it would be okay to buy 50 stone of old rice and new rice, but now it is only how much, is there 30 stone? Not only that, but also the price! It's better for us to sell it outside and make money! Sheng Qiming was annoyed.
"Nonsense! Can we just sell it? If you can sell it casually, who will come to this place? We are small merchants, the imperial court does not give out the introduction of selling grain at all, it is good to earn this money! Isn't there still Laizhou that hasn't been there? ”
Sheng Qiming didn't think much of Sheng Qixian's words, and Erlang's legs were cocked, "I don't think Laizhou can eat much!" We brought 100 stones, 20 stones, and 20 new stones! The carriage and horses are consumed, and we can't make any money, and if we don't sell them all, we have to take credit if we don't make money! ”
Sheng Qixian glanced at his younger brother, knew that he was right, and sighed.
"What's the solution? Our restaurant suffered from this disaster, and the uncle didn't help, so my father wanted to walk around with his old friends and make a little money. I don't want the Shandong territory to be affected by the disaster for two years and be so poor, but look at the clothes worn by the Tao family, they are all the same as they were a few years ago! Our rice is sold at a low price, and it can't be sold! ”
These words made Sheng Qiming angry and couldn't get angry, and after a while, he was unwilling to say: "If someone dares to buy it, I dare to sell it!" ”
But there are only a few people who know that his two brothers are selling grain here, let alone dare to buy it.
The two were silent in the carriage, and Cui Zhi, who was sitting on the back edge of the carriage and secretly hitchhiking in the carriage, listened to all the words of the two and was happy.
Isn't this a way for God to give her money?
The Sheng family can't sell the rice, and it's a fee to pull it back, if she can open a reasonable transaction price, everyone will be happy!
Cui Zhi was overjoyed, arrived at the small courtyard where the Sheng family stayed, and hurriedly jumped down while stopping, who knew that when he looked around, there was no shadow of Wei Ming at all.
"Muzi? Muzi! "I looked around, but there was no shadow at all.
Cui Zhi was a little scared, she was suspicious, but if this child was lost, how could she explain it to Tian?!
The scorching sun was in the sky, Cui Zhi was in a cold sweat, and suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and turned around suddenly-
"Muzi!"
*
After Cui Zhi left, Wei Ming thought of a way.
If you don't have money, you can only borrow money, and the money can be small, as long as the villagers see that salt can be exchanged for rice is a real thing, they are naturally willing to take out the remaining salt.
Who do you borrow money from?
He knows a lot of people in this county, most of them are classmates, he is only ten years old now, and the classmates he made friends with back then are not much older, but it is Gui Zhiyu Gui who has the grace of knowing him, all the way, the teacher likes him to be diligent, praises him for his spirituality in reading, and has no less subsidies.
Although the county taught that in ordinary years, Jingyue could not serve more than two stones of old rice, but it was better than him empty-handed. And Gui is good at listening to people's words, if the teachings can come forward to do things, maybe more than one family and two families will benefit.
Wei Ming thought about it properly, so he looked for it from the Gui Sect Counselor.
Guijiao's house was in the west of the county seat, which was not close, so he quickened his pace and arrived at the door of Gui's house.
The teacher has money in his hands to subsidize the students, but his family has been living in this remote courtyard for decades. Wei Ming pulled his clothes, trying not to look like a child playing around, and knocked on the door ten years ago.
Didn't respond.
I knocked hard again, and this time there were footsteps inside.
Wei Ming listened carefully to the footsteps, and he couldn't distinguish the familiarity of Gui's teachings in his memory. That was decades ago, and it was inevitable that I wouldn't remember it clearly.
The footsteps stopped at the door, he took a deep breath and pulled the door open.
"Who? Who are you? Who to look for? ”
Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, and in front of him was a middle-aged man who was so thin that he was out of shape, not what Gui Daoyu looked like at all.
"Excuse me, is the oracle there?"
"Teachings?" The middle-aged man glanced at him inexplicably, "You said Sect Hong?" Don't you live in the east of the city? Why are you looking for my house? ”
Hung's teachings?
It is true that the county was originally taught by Hong as the head instructor, and the Gui teachings were just teachings before.
Could it be that Gui's teachings are still just teachings in this year?
"Then may I ask if Gui Xun can live here?"
The middle-aged man was even more inexplicably wonderful, "What Gui Training?" Who the hell are you looking for, kid? ”
This question finally made Wei Ming understand. When he was enrolled in school, Gui Jiao has not yet served in Anqiu County!
He hurriedly apologized to the middle-aged man and turned back.
Dozens of years have passed in a hurry, and he really can't remember those old things. Especially in the previous life, the family was poor, after the famine, the rural social studies no longer existed, although there was social studies in the county, but they could not study, so they farmed at home for several years, knitted straw shoes and straw hats to sell money, herded cattle for others, and only read a few books in their spare time.
In the fourteenth year of Yongping, when he was fourteen years old, Guijiao sent him to the countryside to select outstanding students, and saw that he was diligent and studious, so he was recruited to study in the county middle school.
In this life, of course, he did not dare to delay, lest he enter the dynasty too late like in his previous life, and could only watch the national strength of Daxing being exhausted. However, the early result turned out to be that Gui had not yet come to Anqiu.
Wei Ming shook his head helplessly, he couldn't remember when Gui Zhiyu came, but now he borrowed money to exchange salt for grain, and he had to make other plans.
He returned to the courtyard where the Sheng family stayed, and when he was far away, he heard a shout, and when he got closer, he heard that it was Cui Zhi calling him, he hurriedly walked over, and Cui Zhi screamed and pounced.
"Where have you been?! Scared the hell out of me! If you lose it, how can I go back and tell your aunt! How are you running around, you kid! What if the traffickers kidnap you?! ”
She shouted like thunder in his ear, Wei Ming first felt amused, and then sank his face.
His gaze fell on Cui Zhi's thin body, "It's mine, you're still young, and it's easier to be photographed away, so I shouldn't let you go alone." ”
When he said this, he finally revealed his original tone.
Cui Zhi didn't make a fool of himself, he heard it.
"Wei Muzi, are you hiding something from me? You tell me honestly! Cui Zhi looked at Wei Ming with straight eyes.
Wei Ming raised his hand and invited her to the shade, "My name is Wei Ming." ”
