Chapter Eighty-Three: Not Worth Mentioning
"It's not worth mentioning, it's just picking up people's teeth. The key is that you cooperate well and stop Zhao Laosan without showing up. Gu Wenxuan put up his hands and went to the study.
"Tsundere, brother!" Zhou Banxia ran forward, rushed over and threw himself at Gu Wenxuan's back, and was supported by his hands, climbing to his back like a tree and being picked up.
"Next, let's wait for the old Zhao family to be promoted or make a fortune." Zhou Banxia touched his earlobe, and heard that people with thick earlobes are blessed!
Pinch and pinch the swelling again, and be even more blessed! "Let's see how the imperial court reacts, if you don't track it down, does it mean that the matter of the seniors who crossed over will end here?"
"Let's talk about it after watching it." Gu Wenxuan walked into the study and turned her forward and hugged her into his arms, "I forgot to ask where you got those pebbles and lumps."
It's not a brick, you want to put it away and smash people's heads, it's useless. If you want to find bricks, tell me, we still have several beer bottles. ”
Sweat!
The topic is not clever at all, which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned! Zhou Banxia immediately struggled to get off the ground, "You just have to be busy, I'll go and sort out the silver first." ”
Reading books and practicing calligraphy, if you don't fight for a while, it seems that it can be a little later. Gu Wenxuan resolutely followed, returned to the living room, turned on the TV, and played music.
On the carpet in front of the fireplace, there were silver and gold leaves 'recruited' by Zhou Banxia, and the two wooden boxes outside the carpet were full of copper coins.
Seeing that Gu Wenxuan couldn't hold back his loneliness and came to her side again, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but be happy, "How did you think of exchanging ten taels of silver for copper coins at that time?" ”
"Make the most of it. Anyway, the guards were invited, and they didn't dare to come nonsense in the city, so they naturally wanted to take advantage of this to exchange for more copper coins. Copper coins are too heavy, and it is more troublesome to go back and change them. ”
It makes sense.
"Besides, you didn't listen to how the handling fee of the silver village steward is charged. When exchanging large amounts of silver tickets, changing a few taels of copper coins will definitely make some profits. ”
You're really good at calculating, even if the other party definitely doesn't charge this idea.
Gu Wenxuan continued to tease her, "There are also boxes." You see that I exchange copper coins, do people give me two more wooden boxes, do you earn again? ”
"Hahaha......"
"Also, if you go back to the county town to exchange copper coins, the handling fee is higher than here, not to mention, it is less troublesome to change, and it is eye-catching if you change more, right?"
"That's right, but the daily expenditure is dominated by copper coins, and the consumption is the largest."
It's like she took the carriage back and forth today, sending letters to give a reward for errands or something, don't look at it once, it's just ten or twenty dollars, and it adds up a lot.
If it hadn't been for the ten taels of silver copper coins exchanged for the silver number, the copper plates in her hands would have added up to less than 100 yuan.
It seems that before the return trip, you have to change some copper coins to save here, otherwise it will be even more inconvenient to go back to the county to exchange copper coins.
There are also pen, ink, paper, inkstone.
For the time being, you don't need to buy more inkstones, but pens, ink, and paper are definitely cheaper to buy in Fucheng than in the county, and you have to buy more to stock up.
Laughing, Gu Wenxuan saw Zhou Banxia, who was packing the silver ingots on the ground into the box with him, clapped his hands and ran to the front of the coffee table to sit down and start writing.
Make a shopping list?
"Buy more for yourself, like shoes, hair accessories, and other good materials for clothes and skirts when the weather is hot.
I can't tell you the specifics, it's the things used by ancient women, take advantage of this time to buy more in Fucheng, anyway, you have to go with the dart board on the return trip, and you're not afraid of taking it away. ”
"Good. If there's anything you want to bring back, say it now, and I'll write it down, so that I don't forget it for a while. Zhou Banxia stopped writing and motioned for him to come quickly.
"I don't want to take it back, but it's a rare trip, I plan to go to the bookstore tomorrow and the day after tomorrow when I have time to look for the classics of the current period, and the review materials related to the imperial examination."
"Great idea!" Zhou Banxia hurriedly added a line of small words to the paper. "Actually, there's a good place to find this kind of book."
"Mrs. Qian?"
"That's smart."
How simple.
Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Zhao are aunts and cousins, and since Mr. Zhao was able to enter Beijing to live in his wife's uncle's house to prepare for the exam, it means that the family is a senior scholar.
Looking at a little person like the two of us, the other party also sent a banquet, it can be seen that this person is good at dancing, can he use the relationship between his aunt and cousin to build a good relationship with his children and grandchildren?
Zhou Banxia gave a thumbs up, "She does have an excellent reputation in the lady circle, and her popularity is also very strong, and Mama Zhou once commented that this person is unfortunately a daughter."
But you guessed it wrong, her mother's family is a senior scholar. Similar to the kind of special jinshi, Mrs. Qian's son lived in the capital uncle's house very early.
Qian Mansion is almost supported by her alone, but she is such an outstanding woman with a background and strength, and Lord Qian may not cherish it much. ”
He knew that it would be like this, otherwise how could he say that it was a pity that it was his daughter. The world is full of malice towards him, so that his daughter-in-law doesn't believe that he is a serious person!
"Mrs. Qian is just one son, and the eldest son is only half a year older than her son. At the beginning, Mrs. Qian was the concubine of the eldest son and the eldest grandson.
Anyway, the old one was wronged. Mama Zhou said that she was stupid, why did she keep such a stinky man, she returned to Beijing early and left, and she was afraid that she would not be able to find a good husband.
However, Shopkeeper Hu did not agree with Mama Zhou's opinion, she said that her girl did not have no thoughts and separation at first, but she happened to be pregnant, and her mind to leave was light.
Besides, if a man with a little family background in this world does not take a concubine, her girl is also dead. Mama Zhou said that if you don't say anything, women shouldn't get married. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Banxia recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help laughing, "It's a pity that the woman can't accept him, if she doesn't raise him ten or eight, she can afford it anyway!" ”
Shocking!
Gu Wenxuan shook his head with a smile, "Rare." If she can say this in this era, she must have a good relationship with Shopkeeper Hu, but how can the little girl hear this? ”
"I'm afraid that the little girl will be deceived when she grows up. Xiao Banxia once mentioned in front of the shopkeeper Hu that she wanted to make a name for Dajiang, so she recommended Huang Xiucai from the county seat.
It's a pity that I haven't seen her give any imperial examination materials, in fact, Gaofu also has it, but I am not familiar with it and are still in the study in the front yard, so the books copied are quite limited. ”
Thinking of this, whether it is Xiao Banxia, Zhou Banxia also feels regretful.
Scholarly family of poetry and books.
As for the small study of Mrs. Gao, she copied back so many books, which shows how many good books there are in the study of the old man and young master in the front yard.
It's a pity that I haven't seen it, but I can imagine that no matter whether it is Gaofu or Qianfu, there must be a lot of books that can't be found on the market.
Why do people in the world look up to scholars, they gain great advantages in cultural resources through this way of passing down poems and books, and they take advantage of the imperial examination.
Gu Wenxuan nodded in agreement.
But it's no wonder, this kind of family resource advantage is actually the same at all times.
Like you, your work ability is many times stronger than your boss's straw bale daughter, but she is rumored to be a young and promising successor, you don't have to do anything, you are tired like a dog behind her!
