Chapter 85: Not Collected
(Bitter reading) silver! Silver! Liu Meibao couldn't help but be excited, and jumped up and hugged him.
Without Zhou Liangyu to say, she knew that this must be the money given by the medicine store in Feng Medicine Cabinet to order tin cans.
After an interval of more than three months, she finally got her wish to see this snowflake silver again.
And it's legit and reasonable! What could be happier than having a wish come true?
Seeing her sudden gaffe, Zhou Liangyu and Song Sanniang were a little stunned, and they both laughed again.
"What it looks like." Song Sanniang stretched out her hand to pull her up, and asked Zhou Liangyu carefully, "Have you settled it for Daddy Hu?" ”
"It's settled, these are ours." Zhou Liangyu nodded, these days no longer do coolies, his complexion is much better, and he walks outside, interacts with various people such as medicine shops and wax shops, etc., and his face is a little more mature.
"Oh, yes, and this." Zhou Liangyu smiled, while taking the burden that Song Sanniang put aside and untied it.
"Juanluo." Song Sanniang said with some surprise, and stretched out her hand to stroke the plain blue cloth.
Liu Meibao didn't understand this, so she reached out and touched it, feeling much better than the Ge Ma she was wearing.
"It's ayara satin." She nodded pretending to understand.
"What are you doing with this, it's so expensive nowadays." Song Sanniang said in a low voice, but her hand couldn't help rubbing back and forth on this cloth.
When I came into contact with this material again, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
"The weather is warm, and my mother and sister make new clothes." Zhou Liangyu said.
"Yes, yes." Liu Meibao hurriedly smiled, and said to Song Sanniang, "My brother has made money, and aunt, you can enjoy filial piety with peace of mind." ”
"It's all thanks to my sister. I didn't help much. Zhou Liangyu said with a little shame.
"What's the matter, what am I helping with, I'm running around all day, settling accounts, and it's not me who is entertaining." Liu Meibao said with a smile, "Besides, my brother is still capable, and he has come up with a way to engrave seals on tin cans early on, otherwise, the business of Feng Medicine Cabinet will not be so good and better..."
This is really not something that Liu Meibao came up with. Before she could remind her, Zhou Liangyu brought it up, which made Liu Meibao very surprised, just like the managers of Feng Medicine Cabinet who had created a series of perfect and smooth propaganda campaigns with their own three or two sentences.
Liu Meibao is sincerely admired. The dissatisfaction in my heart with Feng Yao's cabinet making money and feeling that I had too little share immediately disappeared.
Yes, she is aware of these modern marketing tools. But she can't turn this method into her own wealth at all, this is not something that one person can do, what she needs is a backstage support with funds and manpower, which she can't do at present.
Do what you can. Earn what you can earn, step by step, live a good life. That's enough.
What she Liu Meibao can do now is to continue to prove herself, prove that she can bring wealth and is worthy of being hired with a high salary.
"I used to have a shop at home, and I saw my father and the steward tell me this." Zhou Liangyu smiled a little embarrassedly.
"That's still my brother, and they also have a shop in the Feng medicine cabinet, they didn't expect it at first." Liu Meibao said with a smile, happily gesturing with Song Sanniang holding a cloth on her body.
Watching her mother and sister discuss what kind of clothes to make, listening to her praise, Zhou Liangyu sat in the warm room. Although I traveled all day, my body and mind were extremely comfortable.
Finally, he can do something for this family, and he can't rely on his sister to support it alone.
Laugh and laugh happily. Because Zhou Liangyu was going to go out with Daddy Hu tomorrow, he dispersed to rest.
Bathed. Liu Meibao sat on the bed in a close-fitting undershirt, and there was a charcoal fire in her room, although there was not much charcoal burned, but compared to the past, Liu Meibao was already very content.
Sitting on the bed, she first listened attentively to the outside, the night was dull and quiet, and occasionally a dog barked, so she turned on the lamp and took out a letter from under the mattress.
Most of today's letters were delivered through Shi Pozi, and she was busy in the medicine warehouse today, so she had to take them home to read.
"Hey, you're getting rich again?" Liu Meibao's gaze swept across the paper, and she said to herself in some surprise.
"..... the reward for killing the horse thief came down today, I am very happy, this time the reward is sixty taels of silver, a horse of satin, although they all feel that this is not worth being happy, the money they see every day is more than this, but I still feel happy, the money earned in daily life is their own money, this time it is a reward, it is a reward for military merit....."
He didn't seem to understand what he was going to say, and these few sentences were written upside down, and in the end it was just one sentence, ending the topic differently than before.
Liu Meibao knew what he was going to say, and smiled, money is no longer attractive to Lu Yan today, what he wants should be like all men, to make a name for himself.
Lu Yan probably also knew that this topic was not good to continue, so he changed the conversation in time.
"....This satin is dark and delicate, it must look good when it is used as clothes, I don't know if you can be sent to you, if you agree, you don't want to write a letter, it's okay to talk to Shi Pozi....."
Seeing this, Liu Meibao couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
Fools, how could they possibly ask, always asking these words that will not get a response at all.
"....I also bought Guangshunhe's medicinal tea, it's really delicious, you're so good, you can think of such a good way...."
Liu Meibao pursed her lips and smiled again, a little pride in her heart, it is also said that this time she was able to grasp such a small thing as tin can medicinal tea, and successfully turned it into a fortune, not only to get money but also to prove her own talents, since the crossing for so long, she can finally experience a little sense of advantage of crossing women.
She laughed for a while, only felt full of warmth, wrapped the quilt around her body, and said some daily things in the letter, what books she read, how many words she knew, what meals she ate, and chattered, if you only read the letter, but in any case, you would never have thought that it was written by a man with the nickname of Hades.
This thought made Liu Meibao's smile sink again, yes, she herself has to forget what kind of person she is.
She thought quietly for a moment. She put down and folded the letters, and put them still on the tent, and before she knew it there was already a stack of letters, she glanced at it, stretched out her hand, extinguished the oil lamp, and the room fell into the silence of the night.
One day a few days later, Guang Shunhe's miscellaneous servant Shi Pozi walked into Liu Meibao's house to pour tea as usual, but was horrified to find that the letter she had placed there yesterday was still there, so frightened that she almost smashed the teapot on her feet.
When the sky is faintly bright. The master got up.
Outside the window was the sound of the patrol salt running that I had become accustomed to, and the sound of the salt fighting on the drill ground.
After going through the various discomforts of not being able to sleep at first, I wake up early now and feel much more energetic than when I slept in the dark.
When he got up, he fetched salt and water. As the master of the Salt Patrol Division, his salary is very considerable compared to before, but the wish that he once imagined countless times that he would sell seventeen or eighteen shallot-like girls to serve when he had money. Still didn't work out, although he already had enough money to buy it.
There is not a single woman in the entire Salt Patrol Division, and the master who is bent on breaking into the hearts of adults is a fool who will never be a fool.
Simple washing. The master hurriedly went out, and he wanted to rush to Lu Yan to talk about business. Then follow Lu Yan and all the practicing salts to have breakfast together.
He didn't need to, but he insisted on it, as if this was the only way to show his loyalty.
When the master came to Lu Yan's courtyard, Lu Yan was boxing as usual.
In the early spring of March, Lu Yan did not wear a shirt, and in the morning light, his body was already drenched in sweat, and his rock-like muscles became more and more oily and slippery.
His punches and punches look simple, but they are strong and powerful, although they are not pleasing to the eye. But it is tiger and tiger, and people dare not underestimate it.
This Lu Yan was killed by a violent force, and it is said that when he was at his worst, he once fought against four people without being injured.
The master asked curiously what kind of punch this was. Lu Yan didn't hide it, saying that he and his brother gave a beggar a piece of cake in exchange for it when he was a child. The beggar claimed to be a recruiter, which was the boxing technique created by Grandpa Qi back then.
Grandpa Qi is a famous general in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knows it, but I don't know if this set of punches is true or not.
Now that Grandpa Qi has long since turned into dust, and the soldiers he led back then were scattered everywhere, for Master Qi and others, it is impossible to verify whether this boxing method is true, but it is undeniable that this set of simple boxing techniques is very sharp when used in actual combat.
Now the salt ding of the entire Salt Patrol Division is practicing this set of boxing techniques.
It wasn't until Yan Ding came over to invite him to dinner that Lu Yan put his hand away, simply scrubbed his body, and talked to the master about some daily official business, for these daily official duties, Lu Yan didn't worry about anything, all his interests were on the training ground, training Yan Ding, contacting horseback riding, and reading and literacy at night, and only in the morning, listen to the master's official affairs, fortunately, there is no official business in the small Jiupin position of the Yan Patrol Division, nothing more than urging the exorbitant taxes, checking the Liukou bandits and robbing the population, etc.
As he was talking, he saw Yanding Junzi leading a person over.
"Your Excellency." Junko's face was not very good, and with a little apprehension, he said in a low voice, "The little stone is here." ”
Lu Yan didn't care, he was taking the robe handed by Yan Ding, and when he heard this sentence, his movements couldn't help but stiffen, and his eyes looked over, and his face was full of surprise in an instant.
"But... But what does Miss Liu have for me? He stepped forward and looked at a small salt cube standing next to Junko.
This salt Ding is younger than Shunzi, and he is even more cowardly, he is not the person brought by Lu Yan, he is the salt Ding of this salt patrol division, since Zhou Hunger Tiger died, he was trembling and afraid of losing his job.
I didn't expect Lu Yan to leave them all, and the salary was no longer deducted, but the training was a little harder, but he was able to eat enough, and he also had meat to eat every once in a while, compared with before, this day was like a fairy, especially when he took wine and meat back during the New Year, which not only made the family ecstatic, but also attracted the envy of a village, making him walk more imposing than before.
These are all gifts from Lord Lu Yanlu, and Yan Ding doesn't know the truth, he only remembers this firmly.
He wanted to serve the adults wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect that an errand would really hit his head.
I don't know how the adults knew that one of his aunts worked in a medicine store in Fucheng, and that day he was called in front of the adults, and received a letter and some silver, asking him to ask him to move his aunt to help.
Helping adults to ask for daughters-in-law is a beautiful difference, in the future, adults and housemothers will definitely have to treat themselves differently, and the salt Dingle, who was stunned by the sudden pie, couldn't help himself, and he agreed to it, and he didn't expect that there would be such an embarrassing situation today.
A character like an adult, rich and powerful, and not ugly, the girls are not all rushing to marry adults, Yan Ding also went to see the girl Liu secretly, although she is not ugly, but it is not a stunning beauty, and the family conditions are so poor, this matter is simply handy.
It was only at this time that poor Yanding understood why the master looked at him with pitiful eyes that day.
"Your Excellency.." Salty tucked his head into the waistband of his pants and muttered something in a mosquito-like voice.
"What?" Lu Yan didn't hear clearly, sensed a bad premonition, and asked with a frown.
The hand hanging by his side unconsciously clenched.
"Miss Liu.. Don't accept letters...", said Salt Ding exclaimed, plucking up his courage.
Liu Meibao deliberately left a little late this time, and she was relieved that the letter on the table had been taken away and not in the hands of someone else.
Fortunately, as she guessed, that Lu Yan had arranged this very bold and outrageous thing in the eyes of the world very well, and would not lose her reputation by mistake, thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry in her heart.
But otherwise, what can he do, if he continues to accept it like this, then Lu Yan is afraid that he will decide that he is interested in him, rather than misunderstanding getting deeper and deeper, it is better to break it off as soon as possible.
When I walked out, it was dark, the street was a little cold, most of the shops were closed, and there were not many people on the street except for the beggars who were shivering under the eaves of the corner roof.
When the cold wind blew, Liu Meibao couldn't help but wrap her clothes tightly, speed up her pace, and when she walked to the street where she lived, because it was not facing the street, there were no lights and people, and it seemed very quiet.
Liu Meibao was taken aback.
"It's me." Lu Yan said busily.
Liu Meibao covered her mouth in time and didn't scream, looking at the taller figure in the night, she hurriedly took a few steps back.
Seeing her retreating, Lu Yan stopped his feet and did not approach again.
"You.. What do you want to do.." Liu Meibao asked a little nervously.
She subconsciously looked around, hoping that someone would come, but reason told her that it was better to hope that no one would come, otherwise she would be seen and she would be covered in mouth and unable to tell.
There were faint figures of people walking on the street, but they were all standing far away, as if they were deliberately separating the land. (To be continued.)
