On the way back, An Jinchen and Runsheng took back the raw pork ordered at the butcher's house, and the ducks and geese raised by several families to marinate them tomorrow.

After returning home, because it was getting late, Gu Fangmiao was left by An Chuxia for one night, and she would be sent back tomorrow.

Mu Tan next door saw that they came back so late, so he stuck his head out from the courtyard wall between the two houses and said that he had steamed a pot of steamed buns and asked them not to make them a staple food.

An Chuxia saw that there was no surprise on his brother and Runsheng's faces, so he naturally accepted it.

It is not the first time that such a meal has been eaten.

Thinking of the braised goose left by Runsheng before, it also proves the fact that several men often do this.

Mu Tan stir-fry often does not control the heat well and stir-fry the vegetables, An Jinchen and Runsheng are busy all day and come back late and have no time to cook.

It's common sense for a few people to get together.

The dinner was very rich, and after coming back, An Jinchen killed a chicken and fried a large plate.

I picked fresh vegetables from the garden, cut a piece of pork, fried stuffed beans, and several other dishes with meat and vegetables.

Mu Tan brought over a pot of steamed steamed buns, and on the meal, all five people sat around the table and began to eat.

An Jinchen and Runsheng were hungry after a tired day, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao didn't eat well after a day on the boat, but only Mu Tan sat there chewing and eating slowly.

Mu Tan looked at An Chuxia on the opposite side and went out for more than half a month, his obviously thin cheeks frowned, and his chopsticks unconsciously held a piece of chicken thigh meat and wanted to hand it over.

After a long pause, it was finally put in An Jinchen's bowl.

An Jinchen raised his head and looked at Mu Tan several times in confusion.

An Chuxia's eyes didn't lift, pretending not to see the direction of the original pair of chopsticks at all.

Gu Fangmiao next to her was struggling to gnaw on the chicken thighs that An Chuxia had clamped for her, except for Mu Tan on this table, Gu Fangmiao had only seen it once.

An Jinchen and Runsheng were already familiar with living in Runsong during the last county test, and they were not so uneasy when they were eating.

After eating, she returned to An Chuxia's room, Gu Fangmiao rubbed her bulging belly indecently, and rolled onto the soft big bed after washing her face and feet.

sighed at life and said: "If only I could sleep lazily every day!" ”

An Chuxia glanced at her, "Then you will be reincarnated as a piglet, won't you be able to sleep every day." ”

Gu Fangmiao made a grimace at An Chuxia, and a sly light flashed in her eyes, "It's okay to be reincarnated as a pig, as long as you have Sister An by your side, you can do anything!" ”

An Chuxia picked up the pillow on the chair next to the desk by the window, smashed it on Gu Fangmiao's face, and spit out a word in her mouth, "Get out!" ”

An Jinchen, a pet sister, is crazy, the bedding in his house can often have no time to dry, An Chuxia's sister's room is cleaned by him, and the bedding is also full of sunshine that he took time to dry.

Walking out of the room, An Chuxia came to An Jinchen's door and raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

An Chuxia pushed the door and came in, and saw An Jinchen sitting there, counting the copper plates and a few silver horns scattered on the table.

"Xia Xia come and sit, it's so late to find my brother."

An Chuxia walked over and helped An Jinchen count the copper plates into a hundred and put them on a string.

While wearing copper coins, he talked to An Jinchen, the elder brother, about what he saw and heard all the way to Songjiang Mansion.

As for what happened in the Quyou Pavilion, An Chuxia didn't say anything.

The brother and sister quickly counted the income from selling braised pork today and put it into skewers, An Jinchen dragged out a heavy wooden box under his bed, put the copper coins in the skewers, and put the silver horns into another small jar.

An Chuxia looked at the wooden box that was about to be filled with copper coins, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, why don't you take so many copper coins to the silver number in the town and exchange them for silver ingots or silver tickets." ”

An Jinchen pushed the copper coin box that was about to fill up and the jar with silver horns to the innermost part of the bed, and then stood up and replied: "The silver number in the town is too dark, and it costs 1,200 copper coins to exchange for one or two pieces of silver, which I am willing to do." ”

After dusting off his body, An Jinchen continued: "In a few days, I will take the time to go to the county seat to exchange, where 1,100 Wen can be exchanged for one or two pieces of silver." ”

An Chuxia held his cheeks and looked at the busy An Jinchen, thinking that this brother was really hardworking, and he was lucky to be reborn as his sister.

"Brother! This one is up to you! ”

An Jinchen stared at peach blossom eyes similar to An Chuxia, and looked at the silver ticket she handed to her in surprise.

"Didn't you go to Songjiang Mansion this time to listen to the Great Confucian's lectures? Why did you change to robbery?! ”

He took the silver tickets and counted them, looked at An Chuxia, and obviously asked her to make it clear where these silver tickets came from.

An Chuxia narrowed her peach blossom eyes, hooked the corners of her pale pink lips, and prepared to make up a bedtime story for An Jinchen.

"Brother, I want to say that these silver tickets are the dye recipes recorded in an ancient book by me, and I asked Brother Runsong to sell them to the Jiang family's dyeing workshop in the county in exchange, do you believe it?!"

An Jinchen glanced at her sister, "You said it so clearly, I can't believe it." ”

An Chuxia choked in her throat, then she still had several versions of the story ready, otherwise there would be no use.

An Jinchen accepted the two thousand taels of silver tickets, and handed the remaining four hundred taels to An Chuxia, "I will go to the provincial capital for the exam after a while, and you can keep these in your hands and spend them." ”

After An Jinchen finished speaking, he went out and brought in a hoe, turned around and closed the door, walked over to remove the wardrobe, and used the hoe to pry open a paved floor tile.

Take out a small round jar from it and place it on the table.

An Chuxia watched An Jinchen take out two silver ingots of fifty taels and a dozen silver ingots of ten taels from inside.

Then he took out two oil-paper packets from the altar, and when he opened them, they were all silver tickets.

Among them, the 50,000 taels An Chuxia knew that it was compensation given to his brother by others.

The other four hundred taels and one fifty taels of silver wrapped in oiled paper, plus the more than two hundred taels of silver, should be all the savings of the family that has sold lo-mei for more than a year.

"Brother, you don't rely on me to gain fame now, and you can live a life of calling slaves and maids.

Otherwise, I won't go to the imperial examination, and I will follow my brother in the future, and it will be good to live a leisurely and leisurely pastoral life here! ”

An Chuxia looked at An Jinchen half-truthfully and said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, her face changed when she saw An Jinchen.

An Chuxia squinted her peach blossom eyes and said with a busy smile: "It's better to take the exam, I still want to be a female champion!" ”

An Chuxia felt that she should not die.

knew that An Jinchen took the words of his parents, who died early, and asked him to provide his sister with a study as a holy decree.

This is the persistence in An Jinchen's brother's heart, and it is also a curse.

Only when An Chuxia was really admitted to the top of the Jinshi and became famous, could he untie An Jinchen's own shackles.

An Jinchen glanced at An Chuxia deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say this in the future to scare my brother."

Or... Or...... Hum! ”

Facing An Chuxia's sparkling eyes, An Jinchen didn't say anything cruel in the end, and could only snort to express his dissatisfaction.

Continue to count how much silver there is in the house.
