Chapter 121: Living

The clansmen hurt him deeply, and even if he returned to his hometown, he was unwilling to return to his true hometown, but chose a place where he had only lived for a few years.

Lilac asked, "What is the contradiction between the Taoju people and the clansmen?" ”

Yang Hu said, "I heard Xia Sanzu say that when Tao Juren was twelve years old, his father suddenly fell ill and died. In order to forcibly occupy his family's tiled house and more than 20 acres of land, the clan relatives framed him for stealing. He also bribed his mother's stepmother and half-brother to forcibly marry his mother, and their mother and son fled to our Beiquan Village overnight.

"The people absconded from him for fear of sin, and expelled him from his tribe, and took possession of his house and land. Tao Juren can't go to school, so he learns by himself at home. When he was fifteen years old, he quietly went back to his former husband, who knew who he was and found several people to testify against him.

"The matter went to the county master, and he was able to participate in the scientific expedition. He was admitted to Xiucai that year, and four years later, he was admitted to Juren. When the tribesmen found out, they hurried over and begged him to go back, willing to return the house and land. He couldn't bear it and moved away ......"

Tao Juren was a man in the village, and he never came back after moving away, and the people in the village still used to call him "Tao Juren".

Lilac insinuates. It's so hateful to eat the desperate household, there are no men to eat, and men who are young must also eat.

When Tao Juren was young, he was tenacious and courageous and resourceful.

The fact that there is a person in the village who knows the affairs of the world makes Lilac very excited, and secretly has a small abacus.

Look at Tao Juren's character again, if it is good, find a way to set up a relationship apprenticeship, and then explore the outside world.

On the evening of the fourth day of the lunar month, not long after Ding Zhao, Ding Liren and Ding Lilai returned home, the courtyard door rang again.

Ding Zhuang's big voice, "Xiangxiang, the master is back, haha." ”

Lilac was the first to run out, followed by the others.

Yang Hu had already opened the door, and Lilac rushed up and jumped into her grandfather's arms.

Ding Lichun gave the coachman the money for the car, and carried several large baskets into the house with Ding Zhao and Yang Hu.

They bought six whole baskets of goodies.

Looking at their smiles again, the honey fat must have been sold for a good price.

There were many people in the house, and it was hard to talk about money, so Ding Lichun took the same things.

Take the food out first.

Jiangnan dim sum and lotus root flour are famous all over the world, osmanthus cake, poria cake, Confucius cake, honey pine cake, radish sweet cake, and various flavors of lotus root flour, filled with two large baskets.

Two baskets contained seven horses of silk and two pieces of fine cloth and embroidery thread, which were the materials to be bought for one's own family and relatives, and two horses of fine brocade for the business of cloves.

The two baskets are all kinds of ornaments, ornaments, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, tea and other things.

Ding Zhuang distributed the gifts. Not surprisingly, cloves have the most stuff. There are not only food and wear, but also a set of colorful porcelain tea sets, a blue and white porcelain vase, a kitten Suzhou embroidered table screen, and a shiny carved copper mirror.

Grandpa is too expensive, where can you use such an expensive thing in the countryside.

Lilac smiled and thanked her.

Ding Zhuang sorted out the things for relatives and friends, and the gift for the three rooms and two children was the best, a silver collar and a small silver lock for Ding Siniu, and two beautiful pieces of silk for Ding Zhen.

They also talked about the prosperity of Jiangnan, where the houses and scenery are like paintings......

After eating and drinking, Ding Zhuang asked Zhang and Ding Lichun to send gifts to the big house and the third room, and Ding Liren and Ding Li came to send the villagers with good relations.

Only Ding Zhao and Ding Xiang were left in the house, Ding Zhuang took out a thick stack of silver tickets, and smiled so much that his old face was like a bun, and his eyes couldn't be found.

"Hehe, both honey creams are superb. The red ones were heavier, and sold for seven thousand six hundred taels of silver. The brown ones were lighter, and sold for seven thousand taels of silver. ”

Lilac has long been mentally prepared. Produced by Jitoufeng, it must be the best.

Ding Zhao's small eyes widened like two cylinders, "Aren't there just two black sticks with incense, and they are sold for fourteen thousand six hundred taels of silver at once?" ”

He knew that honey fat was worth a lot of money, and it still made him feel unreal to really sell so much.

Ding Zhuang smiled, "That's still fake, they make finished products and sell them more expensive." Hehe, the shopkeeper of Qingfangzhai saw our honey balm, opened his mouth for a long time before closing, and hurriedly invited the owner to come. Qingfangzhai mainly sells ambergris and musk, and it is the first time to receive such a good and so many honey fat incense.

"Those guys are smart people, and they didn't ask us where we were from or where we got so much honey incense. It's just that we will have this good thing in the future, and then sell it to them, and they will never lower the price. The proprietor was happy and gave us a small incense burner with a copper bottom and a jade cover, and this incense burner was sent to the county master. ”

Ding Zhao rubbed his hands and smiled, "The rest will be sold to Qingfangzhai." ”

Lilac thinks so too. I didn't dare to sell more before, but I was still afraid of encountering a black store. In this way, I will sell two more in the year after tomorrow. Fortunately, the honey butter incense is yin wood and has no expiration date.

Ding Zhuang said again, "I spent more than 500 taels of silver to buy things, and I used some more, and I still have 14,000 taels left." I'll keep four thousand taels and go to the pawnshop to redeem An An's jade bracelet first.

"The jade bracelet was originally a job, and I always wanted to earn money to redeem it later. When I was four hundred and twenty taels of silver, I added forty-two taels of late money every year, and I was able to save that amount ......."

His face darkened, and he got up and went to the bedroom, from which he took out a yellowed note. He slowly opened the bill, and the folded place had cracked, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"I thought that I could only have this piece of paper with me in this life, but I didn't expect to get so much money at once. It's providence, this year is exactly the twenty-fifth year, and in the last year of life, I can actually redeem the bracelet. It must be An An in the spirit of heaven to bless Xiangxiang......"

Ding Zhao and the others thought that Ding Zhuang had sold the bracelet, but they didn't expect it to be a job.

Ding Zhao smiled, "If this is the best, my father will redeem it tomorrow." Four thousand taels is not enough to add more, no matter how much it is spent, it will be redeemed. ”

Ding Zhuang said, "I go to the pawnshop every year to remind them to keep the bracelet and wait for me to redeem it." Chao Feng and the treasurer changed one after another, and they agreed on their faces, but I knew that they were all scolding me for being mentally retarded in their hearts. The longer the time drags on,

"The more expensive the ransom, many years ago the ransom exceeded the price of the jade bracelet itself, and it would be foolish to redeem it again. At the beginning of this year, I went to the pawnshop again, and the court said that this year was the last year, and if I couldn't redeem it at the end of the year, they would deal with it.

"If it is ransom, it will be two thousand eight hundred and sixty-six pieces of silver. How did they know that the jade bracelet was a priceless treasure to me? In order to raise Zhaozi well, I had to think of it as a good one. ”

What he didn't say was that because there was a more precious jade pendant as a souvenir, he took out the jade bracelet. I still think that if Dong Yiqi doesn't find it, there will be a jade pendant as a thought. If Dong Yihe found it, he handed over the jade pendant, and the money to ransom the jade bracelet in his hand was not enough, so he asked Dong Yiqian to borrow some......
