Chapter 7: Wandering

Mama Li invited a doctor overnight, diagnosed the pulse, prescribed two pairs of medicines, and drank the medicines, but the fever still could not go away, so Mama Li was so anxious that she went around in the house.

Or Lu saw that An had a wit, and ran to buy soju and came back, although the purity of the burning knife at this time was not so good compared to modern alcohol, but it was also about thirty degrees, and he ordered Mama Li to wipe Xu's whole body, so it went down several times, and when it was dawn, Xu finally woke up, and the fever subsided.

Mama Li only shouted Amitabha, the Bodhisattva blessed.

Lu Jian'an barely closed his eyes all night, and as soon as the morning dawned, Xu Fu and his uncle came to help, and hired a few people, all of whom were marketers who specialized in eating this bowl of rice, and finally buried the father and daughter of the Lu family.

Lu Jian'an knelt in front of the tomb of Lu's father Lu Han for the last time, looked at the tombstone, and thought silently in his heart, I hope you have a spirit in heaven to bless us and we can be safe, for the sake of you saving me, I will definitely take care of the Xu family and Lu Xuehan, as well as the two sisters of the Lu family.

I saw the incense candles inserted in front of Lu's father's tomb, and the green smoke went straight into the sky.

Probably peace of mind!

Lu Jian'an said goodbye to his uncle and them, if his family was polite, it would be too foreign.

Back home! Xu was already sober, looked at Lu Jian'an, asked about the funeral, and finally felt at ease.

After all, his body couldn't move, and he couldn't move, so Lu Jian'an had to tell Mama Li to take care of the Xu family, and this family couldn't stand the toss.

Although they know that the Xu family will be fine, but with this disease, there are more places to spend money all of a sudden, and their family now only has a place to spend money! But there is no way to get money, Lu Jian'an pondered that he always had to think of ways to make a living, otherwise the family plus Mama Li would have four mouths, and it would not be good to sit and eat empty.

Lu Jian'an sat at the table and looked at the money in front of him, there were ten taels, but these thrifts could be spent for a year at most, and after a year, in his previous life, Lu Jian'an was resting on his laurels, An An was a Lu Jian'an, not asking about the world, and not taking into account the size of the family, so she would leave regrets, she was Lu Jian'an in this life, so she couldn't continue to live like this, so it was better to die.

Living like a man, how many women in later generations will live a wonderful life compared to men, not to mention just a breadwinner.

Put away the silver money in his hand and lock it in the box, with dozens of copper coins in his pocket, Lu Jian'an walked out of the yard.

The whole Fengshan county town is not big, but it is very lively, and the streets are full of stall businessmen.

"Sugar man, candy seller......"

"Take a look, take a look, sweet and sour rock sugar gourd......"

"Spicy and delicious stew, come and taste it......"

The whole of Fengshan County is like a bazaar.

It turns out that Fengshan County is different from other counties, there are 12 streets of silk mills here are dependent on the sound of raw silk business for a living, because here gathered around Fengshan County dozens of villages of raw silk trade, almost every village here has mulberry fields, relying on mulberry and silkworm breeding for a living.

On the contrary, there are few serious people left who grow food, because every household here grows mulberry and silkworms, which has also created the prosperity of Fengshan County.

Silk merchants from the north and south come here to receive goods, after the spring silkworms every year, many merchants from all over the country will come one after another, several households here are doing raw silk business, but this raw silk business is only done by merchants in Fengshan County.

Most of the people in the village do not know how to reel silk, so they can only sell the cocoons to the silk mill, and the silk mill will have special craftsmen to reel the silk, make it into raw silk, and wait for the merchants to purchase it, so it will be so prosperous here.

Except for a few silk mills here, most of the others are about to live.

Because these real silk skills are held in the hands of the four major families, it is a family secret that is not passed on, and outsiders can easily not get a little bit of it, of course, they will open the door to accept apprentices, and those who have ingenuity will naturally be favored, and then they will be on the rise.

Some of the poor who can't afford to do business make a living by doing small business here, so the unique prosperity here is different from other places.

Therefore, in many square markets in Xicheng, there are many market alleys like Jade Street Hutong.

Many people who don't have mulberry fields and can't afford to raise silkworms do some small business and small business to support their families.

In addition, there are some small merchants and hawkers in other places, who envy the wealth of Fengshan County, and will also carry goods to sell everywhere.

This has led to this kind of lively market alley.

Lu Jian'an walked forward while looking at the scenery and people in the alley.

Now although Emperor Yingzong governs the country nepotism and loves Wan Guifei in the harem, he has not yet been so mediocre that he has begun to involve the major affairs of the humanities and the people, so the people are still living and working in peace and contentment.

Even if they worked hard, there were still many simple smiles on the faces of the people.

In the midst of the noise and noise, there is the tranquility of the world.

That's right! This world is very much in the Ming Dynasty, even this Wan Guifei is the same, the emperor is nineteen years older than the palace maid, almost the emperor's favor in one, it can be said that the wind and rain will be rainy, which will fuel the ambition of Wan Guifei in the future.

However, this is not the real Ming Dynasty, and many things and material culture are also somewhat similar.

However, at a certain juncture, history has taken a turning point......

Dress and behave, there is not much difference.

It seems to be very similar to the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it is very different.

If there is the biggest difference, it is that this dynasty is mercantil.

The status of businessmen is much higher than that of businessmen in the Ming and Qing dynasties in memory.

His grandfather's family, the Xu family, opened a silk mill on 12th Street to sell raw silk, but business didn't seem to be doing well.

Otherwise, my grandfather would not have made a move that didn't care about his daughter! After all, the ancients had a good face, and their daughters and grandchildren could ignore it, and it was not something that ordinary people did.

Presumably, the two aunts played a big role in this, and even if the grandfather wanted to help his daughter, he couldn't suppress the mouth of everyone in the family who wanted to eat.

Lu Jian'an was looking slowly, and suddenly a man at the door of a silk mill was carrying a basket and throwing it out.

"Go, go, dare to send any stuff to the door! Don't look at our Chen Ji Silk Workshop is such a good master to be deceived, if you continue to fight here, we have to beat you out. ”

The guy was impatient, and the expression on his face was bored and mixed with disdain.

What was thrown out was an old man with gray hair, and silkworm cocoons were scattered all over him! It can be seen that the quality is not good, yellow and blue, this is the silkworm cocoon is not raised well, the silkworm is sick and the cocoon will be like this, no wonder people throw it out.

The old man suddenly hugged the cocoon and cried, and the cry became more and more poignant.

"My son......"

"This is going to kill us......"

"It's all my father's incompetence, and at the end of the season, we can't sell it for ten cents, how can we live."

"Poor dad doesn't even have the money to give you medicine, so let's just take this cocoon and go to the Sanggan River to reunite with you!"

Crying in despair.
