Chapter 16
The little official seemed a little surprised when he heard this, looked up at him seriously, and his tone softened, "You know them?" ”
"I was telling stories at the inn before I went down, and I had a few meals with the two masters." Ning Changrong didn't lie, he did have an exchange with these two catchers. The two of them couldn't listen for a long time when they were on errands, so they went to him privately to ask, and Ning Changrong sacrificed his lunch break to tell Qingjie to the two again.
He didn't know about that Zhang Zhukuai, and Zhao Zhukuai also had a little friendship there.
"Huh? Ning Changrong? Why are you here? "Said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Zhao Yu was about to go home, but he didn't expect to see an acquaintance.
"Huh? Zhao Ye, did Zhao Ye just get off duty? Will we have time to eat and drink together later? I'm in for a treat. Ning Changrong greeted with a smile.
"Okay. What are you doing here? "Zhao Zhu readily agreed, what is there to be unhappy about someone inviting you to dinner?
"It's not like I've made some money talking about books these days, so hurry up and pay my family's money for servitude."
The little official saw that Ning Changrong really knew Zhao Zhukuai, and he was half of his own person, so he was no longer embarrassed, and turned over the account book to find Ning Changrong's family of the Ning family in Xiayuan Village, "Okay, I have already registered it for you." ”
"Hey, thank you."
Ning Changrong took the sign handed over by the other party, read it carefully, folded it carefully, and kept it in his arms.
took out another piece of silver and handed it to the other party, the little official didn't expect Ning Changrong to be so good, and accepted it with a smile.
Zhao Yu quickly urged, "Since it's okay, let's go?" ”
In the end, Ning Changrong spent two hundred Wen to invite Zhao Zhu to drink and eat.
If he was willing to give the little official money at that time, it is estimated that it would not be that much.
But that's not the case, he spent money to invite Zhao Yu to drink and eat, not only registered the money on behalf of the servant, but also enhanced the friendship between the two, although they were just friends of wine and meat, but the people who knew the official face helped him to do business next, and he could talk at a critical time.
Giving it to that little official will only make people take it for granted. Of course, you can't offend the other party, as the saying goes, the little ghost is difficult, and the taxes are all managed by these people, if this makes a stumbling block for his family, how to solve it is a big trouble.
Move out of Zhao Chukuai first, and finally Ning Changrong will give the other party a penny of silver, so that the other party can also remember him if he collects the money, and it will be more convenient when the time comes.
Without the pressure of forced labor, Ning Changrong doesn't have to be so eager to make money, and follows the principle of prudence in doing things, just afraid that if he goes in, the old and the young will not be able to survive in the troubled times.
He didn't expect those people in the Ning family, if something really happened, it would be difficult for them to survive by themselves!
……
"Big brother, did you really pay the money? That's five taels of silver! Ning Changgui looked at this conscription payment slip in surprise, although he couldn't read, he knew the official seal on it.
"This can still be fake."
It's good now, the Ning family is so happy, since they said that they were going to serve in the conscription, the stone in the family's heart has not been put down.
Although Wang Xiujuan said that Ning Changrong had already tried to make money in the county office, where was the five taels of silver so easy to get together? Ning Changgui and Ning Changfu were both ready to serve in the conscription. I didn't expect it to be a surprise!
Wang Xiujuan cleared her throat, she had something to say clearly, so that they could know how much effort their eldest brother had put in for these five taels of silver, otherwise they wouldn't all become white-eyed wolves in the future.
"This time, for the sake of these five taels of silver, your eldest brother got up early and was greedy for darkness. You've heard this voice too, and it's never been good since the beginning of storytelling. Cissy accompanies his father to read to him all day, and you can see how hard it is. ”
"I don't expect you to do anything, but remember this for me!" Wang Xiujuan said sternly.
After hearing this, the Ning family promised again and again that even if their mother didn't say it, they would remember it. The two brothers looked at Ning Changrong with admiration, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and the original body has actually done it over the years, loving his brother and helping his mother carry this family together.
Ning Changfu's eyes were a little red, if it weren't for the eldest brother who earned the five taels of silver, there was a high probability that he would be going to serve as a conscriptor this time, "Big brother, I'm ......" Ning Changfu's throat was blocked by something and he couldn't continue, he didn't know what to say, and a thousand words were in his eyes.
Ning Changgui, who was usually able to speak well, also became mute, but he looked at Ning Changrong with red eyes.
It's no wonder that my mother thinks so highly of my eldest brother, compared to my eldest brother, the two brothers are indeed too useless.
The two concubines secretly swore in their hearts that they would be better to Ning Qingxi in the future. It's not in vain that the eldest brother pays so much for this family.
Fang Chunmei has already worked in the field, originally Wang Xiujuan let her sit for a month, but where does she think she is so expensive? It's been a long time since seven or eight days have been sitting! She has eaten all the eggs at home, and although she is in a special maternal situation, she has no face to continue to lie down.
There is so much work to do at home, and the conscription has not yet been decided, where can she lie down, Wang Xiujuan gave up after persuasion to no avail, anyway, her body is her own.
Originally, Ning Changrong didn't have to risk being in the limelight, as long as one of the two brothers was allowed to go. But he occupies other people's bodies, and naturally accepts part of his feelings, not to mention how deep they are, but he must at least do things worthy of his conscience.
This time, he actually had a fluke mentality in his heart, but fortunately he was lucky. If he had to do it again, he wasn't sure if he would have made such a risky decision.
Maybe you will choose another book? The estimate is the same. In ancient times with strict rules, you don't know what taboos you will accidentally encounter, and the consequences of touching taboos are something he can't afford, and the text prison is not a joke here!
……
With Ning Changrong's help, Ning Qingxi made a lot of hand crossbows and crossbow arrows, and almost later put himself into the production of straw paper.
If it weren't for the fact that the hand crossbow was something to live and live, it would have been impossible not to prepare it, Ning Qingxi would have already started to study the papyrus!
Wang Xiujuan glanced at her granddaughter who was writing and painting on the ground in the house, and asked Ning Changrong, who walked out of the door, "What is she studying?" ”
Ning Changrong looked helpless, "Straw paper." I can't stand these ancient sanitary conditions, let alone Xixi. "I hope his daughter can find out sooner! You can't sell it, but it's easy to use for yourself. In case you can meet any Mingjun in the future, you can also put out the writing paper, and you can offer it for a reward!
The paper on the market is yellowish and rough, they have encyclopedias, and the recipe is definitely better than this!
"Xixi, this kid feels that she can't help all day long, and she is dragging the family back, so let her fix what she wants to study."
Ning Changrong and Wang Xiujuan both let Ning Qingxi go to study, Wang Xiujuan was busy with cabbage, Ning Changrong had nothing to do for the time being, and planned to take Ning Changfu to the periphery of the mountains to see if he could make a trap to catch a pheasant or rabbit or something to replenish his family's body.
When I was a child, I often went up to the mountains to play, and I still remember how the traps were made for so many years.
After coming for more than ten days, he had eaten meat a few times in the inn, and Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi had really only eaten the meat buns.
Originally, he wanted to use a hand crossbow, but to be on the safe side, he gave up on this tempting idea. It's not a trivial matter if you poke someone out, the lethality of the crossbow is too strong.
