returned the pearl flowers of the White Lotus, and it did not ease the faces of the Li family and the White Lotus, especially the Li family, when they saw Xu Wenlan's face stretched so long, they talked about the children several times and times that they were too nonsense and too disagreeable.

He also said that the hoe in the farmer's hand, the kitchen knife in the cook's hand, and the saw in the carpenter's hand are all tools for making a living, and what should I do if I lose them?

Although I didn't say it explicitly, I knew that there were still four treasures in the hands of the scholars among these people!

Who this kid is talking about, everyone knows it, but it was Old Man Bai who finally sank his face and asked the Li family to open the box happily and take the money to make up for Bai Yingtian's new set of four treasures in the study.

I heard that an ordinary set of four treasures of the study also cost one or two or six dollars, although the set won by Xu Wenlan is second-hand, it is worth one or two!

Bai Yingkui's face was sneering, but Zhu was very happy.

"It's a loss to Wen Lan, otherwise I don't know how much I will have to talk to your grandmother when the spring begins!"

Although Old Man Bai promised to let Bai Shengwen go to the academy to study, but when the time comes, Shu Xiu is not money? The Four Treasures of the Study Room are not money? And those books, not all money. It is conceivable that the Li family will definitely give Dafang a look when he arrives. This is one less big expense, and it will be better to talk at the beginning of spring.

Xu Wenlan was also happy, but it wasn't all for the four treasures of the study.

The things she won were the most valuable of the four treasures of the study, but that thing could only be used and could not be spent, but it was not as happy as the two purses she won.

Forget about the third uncle's purse, there are only thirty dollars in it, just like that, the Fang family has been looking at Xu Wenlan for a few days in a row!

Bai Yingtian has a lot in his purse, except for a handful of copper coins, there are about two and a half pieces of broken silver the size of soybeans, although he has not weighed it, but Zhu glanced at it and said that it must be more than two coins.

After these days, Xu Wenlan probably figured out how the money was calculated.

Ordinary people live, most of them use copper money, few use silver, if silver is exchanged for copper money, the official saying is one or two silver thousand Wen, but the folk exchange often floats, probably with the world good or bad changes! I heard that there was a year when one tael of silver could be exchanged for 1,7800 wen, and another year, one tael of silver could only be exchanged for 770 wen.

When Xu Wenlan heard it at the time, she thought that this would be the same as speculation in later generations! One time the dollar will rise, the other time the pound will rise, if you are really rich, you can make a lot of money by speculating in silver.

However, this business has a large capital and is too unstable, and no one knows when the exchange ratio of silver and copper coins will rise and fall, and there are too many factors that cannot be analyzed, and it is not a business that ordinary people do.

Probably no one thought of speculating in silver like Xu Wenlan, the common people are looking forward to a long time of peace, who would want to encounter such a turbulent time?

Basically, the current currency is like this, the legendary gold, and high-end silver tickets, for ordinary people like Xu Wenlan now, they may not be able to touch it for a lifetime, so there is no need to study it too much.

Anyway, ten coins and one tael, one penny of silver is 100 yuan, and Bai Yingtian's purse, even broken silver with copper plates, is about 300 yuan.

For a big house that doesn't have any private money, these three hundred and thirty dollars are already a lot of money, and at first Zhu wanted to help Xu Wenlan put it up: "Put it together with the money that the military boss gave you, and wait for you to marry as a dowry." ”

How much is this, and it will be until then......

Xu Wenlan raised her face bitterly, and begged with her hands together: "Mother, can I keep this money myself!" Please, mother, seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I still want to go to the county to see the excitement! ”

"Children are not afraid of losing their ...... with so much money"

"Not much, not much, that's just a little more money!" I don't know if these 300 Wen have caught up with the modern 300 yuan?

"It's not much, little man......" His eyes flashed slightly, and Zhu didn't say any more.

Maybe for Wen Lan, the three hundred dollars are really not much, right? After all, he is from a big family, so what is this money?

sighed in his heart, Zhu was a little pitiful for Wen Lan, probably this kid had never suffered like this, let alone been so short of money, right?

"Cheng, you can take this money yourself, but we have to say okay, this money can't be spent indiscriminately, and you have to be careful not to lose it."

Nodding hurriedly, Xu Wenlan poured all the money into a purse, unlike others who tied the purse to the belt outside, but gave her a rag head with Zhu's family, and sewed a pocket inside the padded jacket.

Although the stitches were really uneven in Zhu's eyes, he couldn't help but praise in the end: "Wen Lan is smart, it's not easy to lose a pocket here." ”

Smiling and patting the purse in the inner pocket, Xu Wenlan also felt satisfied.

can't just keep messing around, she always has to think about doing something, otherwise, she won't want to put it on the agenda for the rest of her life.

She always felt that Bai Yingkui refused to split the family, half of it should be because there were many children in the family, and if the family was really separated, the expenses would be too great, and life would be too difficult, right?

If that's the case, then she'll have to think about what she should do to make money. Although she is not like the women on TV who wear it to the palace and fall in love with an elder brother, she must be able to support herself and her family, right?

encouraged herself, Xu Wenlan wanted Bai Yingkui to take her to the county.

"Yo, it's not going to work these days, I'm going to kill the New Year's pig, and my father has to help at home, well, or I'll take you to the county to play after killing the New Year's pig......" Bai Yingkui looked at Bai Shengwu, who was puffing up on the side, and hurriedly remedied: "Even Dabao and Erbao will go." ”

Bai Shengwu was happy at once, and Bai Shengwen, who was sitting on the edge of the kang table and writing on the table with his fingers dipped in water, also raised his head and smiled.

Xu Wenlan climbed onto the kang and stared at Bai Shengwen: "Brother, don't we have pen and paper at home?" Why don't you use it? ”

"I don't dare to use that, just those things, how can it be cheap? You'll have to wait until after school. Bai Shengwen smiled and asked Xu Wenlan to look at the words he wrote: "Look at this, it's my name, and this, it's your name, this time the fourth uncle comes back, I'll let him teach me ......"

One stroke at a time, although immature, but very serious.

Xu Wenlan sighed: "How can the words written on the fingers be the same as those written with a pen?" Brother, instead of feeling sorry for those papers, you might as well write with a pen! When you go to school, you will also hold a pen and write, and your husband will look at you highly, do you say this is the reason? ”

Zhu Shi was listening and nodded frequently: "I think it's the same reason!" Dabao, you can write on paper! Don't try to save money, buy it when you run out, you don't have to save the money next to your grandfather, but he is happy to let his children and grandchildren study. As long as you are willing to learn, your master will be happy......"

Happy, that means willing to take the money out!

Bai Shengwen smiled, in the end, he still went to get the paper out, slowly studied the ink, and called Bai Shengwu over: "You just don't want to go to the academy to study, you have to follow and learn a few words!" How can you even write your own name? ”
