"You're so old, how can you do it if you don't have a person in your family who knows how to know hot and cold, men live their own lives, this dress is ......" she said, looking her up and down with two eyes, "...... Your clothes are still neat. ”

…… Of course, neat, she is not really a single straight man, and it is not a joke that her own house is not well taken care of by this one-third of an acre.

"It's still my aunt who cares about me, but I don't want to think about it in the past few years, so let's talk about it after the family business is rectified in a few years."

Auntie was upset.

"I haven't said what the conditions of the girl's family are, how can I be gagged like this."

…… It's not that there is a problem with the girl's family conditions, is it that she has a problem?

But she still took a step back, let her aunt in, and said that two streets away, a certain family doing bamboo business has such a daughter, how good her heart and eyes are, how skillful her hands are, and her body is very strong at a glance, she is a good girl who can support the family business, and she must not miss it.

The aunt said that she was tired, so she poured a glass of water and handed it over.

"What the hell do you think?"

Not to think about it, she had to think of some reason or excuse......

The aunt suddenly came over, "Are you still thinking about Meiniang or Tongxin?" ”

…… She calmed down for a while, and suddenly pulled out two rapeseed from the ground that were not yet fully ripe, so she had been reluctant to pull them to eat.

"Since my aunt hasn't cooked yet," she tried not to keep her eyes on the two verdant, green, and therefore appetizing little rapeseeds, "take this soup and eat it." ”

The aunt, who finally received her refusal to have brain waves, muttered and carried two small rape away, leaving her to stand alone at the gate of the courtyard, painful.

As soon as he closed the courtyard door and turned his head to continue watering, Ah Qian's head poked out from the wall.

"I know why you don't want to marry a daughter-in-law!" The bear kid laughed twice, "Do you want me to keep it a secret?" ”

…… She put down the scoop and walked over.

"If I want you to keep it a secret," she said, measuring the height of the earthen wall with her spare light, and comparing the distance between her and Ah Qian, "but what good will I give you?" ”

"Of course!" Ah Qian immediately climbed up the pole, "You buy a copper hairpin for me, and I will keep it secret for you!" ”

She didn't say anything, stared at him twice, and sure enough, a look of weakness immediately appeared on the bear child's face that was a little smug just now, "Expensive, if it's expensive, then a box of caramels will do." ”

"It's not a problem that you're expensive," she said, "what is the use of a copper hairpin like you?" ”

He didn't think about it, and immediately said loudly, "Of course it's for my grandmother!" ”

She suddenly reached out, patted him on the head, and shouted.

"You want to send Ah Huan!"

The bear child panicked all of a sudden, and almost squeezed out one or two glistening tears in his eyes, "Don't be so loud! ”

…… Puppy love is really harmful.

Little Lori is eleven or twelve years old, she can't be regarded as a little girl in the Han Dynasty, even if she is next to her biological parents, she has to take on part of the responsibility of washing and weaving, and even more so after coming to the Chen family, she either washes and cooks or sits by the spinning wheel every day and spins wildly.

But it can't be said that the Fan family treats her harshly, because in this difficult environment, it is rare for the Chen family to let her be fed and clothed without beating or scolding. The threads she spun were taken by the Fan family to weave, and the two of them began to work before dawn, and would only go to sleep at night in order to save some oil lamps.

Under such a premise, it is not easy for Ah Qian to play with her.

…… So I thought of a way to dig up the wall and brush gifts at the bottom of the kettle.

The market of Chang'an is divided into east and west markets, separated by a road, it is said that it was originally well organized and orderly, but after pouring into hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang, everyone buys or sells things here, so the market quickly became a vegetable market.

The hairpin is not expensive, and some stalls will sell this, but the quality is a little doubtful, and you need to be more careful to prevent being deceived by profiteers.

She thought it would be better to buy two boxes of caramel first, bring one box for herself, and then go buy hairpins.

When I arrived at the candy shed, I saw the vendor fighting with the customer.

"I gave you a penny," said the man, "why don't you give me the money?" ”

"The villain is exactly what he found for Lang Jun by the number." The peddler was sweating profusely, "Although this money looks a little small, it is genuinely cast by Mrs. Dong!" ”

"Nonsense, who wants you to!"

The two men pushed back and forth so that the handful of money that they refused to collect fell to the ground and sprinkled in the dust, and the customer didn't even look at it, but reached out and threw a bag of candy back.

"Give me back the money!"

So the bitter peddler returned the small piece of silver to the customer, collected the money on the ground, and went back to the small shed.

She stepped forward and beckoned the vendor, "Bring me two catties of caramel candy." ”

The peddler quickly took the caramel out and weighed it, and when he saw that she had reached out for the money bag, he suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Lang Jun has to pay?"

"Naturally," she said inexplicably, "don't I need money to buy caramel from you?" ”

"What kind of money does Lang Jun have to pay?"

“…… What's that, five baht? ”

The peddler's face was palpitating, "Can Lang Jun show me first?" ”

The lowest monetary unit in the Eastern Han Dynasty was five baht money, but the market also circulated cut-edge five baht money, simply put, a penny was broken into two halves, so it became three baht money and two baht money, and even one baht money, I don't know who is so ingenious, copper coins can make so many tricks.

But it was the Duting Hou Mansion that paid her money, so all the money she gave was the standard five baht, and there was no problem with the purchasing power when she took it out, and she didn't even need to weigh it.

Sure enough, the vendor took a few coins from her and looked at them carefully, and then looked happy, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

“…… What's that bad? ”

"Lang Jun didn't know, Taishi Dong ordered to cast a lot of small coins out......"

The vendor reached out and showed her two small coins that had been thrown on the ground by the previous guest.

…… She has been in the Han Dynasty for a while, and she has never seen a five-baht coin cast into the shape of a Q for money.

Moreover, the coin has no inner and outer outline, and the front and back can not see the word "five baht" clearly, take it in your hand and weigh it, and the copper coin that is cut into a plant of money is about the same weight.

"Is this a five-baht coin?" She weighed it again, a little incredulous.

"It's five baht." The peddler said with certainty, "That's all we have here, and when some government officials go to the East Market to buy grain and rice, they also use this kind of new coinage, and it is said that there was a lot of trouble on the first day." ”

…… Of course it's going to cause a mess! Take one baht as five baht, is this still five baht? Is this fiat money? She thought, isn't this going to be inflationary?

Chapter 49

Although Lu Hangyu has never seen what inflation is like in this era, she probably still knows what kind of situation inflation will be like when she is in history class in the Republic of China.

First things first...... Money is worthless.

There were still a few thousand dollars at home, so I quickly turned them all over and took them to the market heavily, only exchanging them for five stones of corn...... Exactly two hundred pounds. This still depends on the five baht money she brought from Luoyang, which is clear and upright and untrimmed, so that she can sell it at this price.

When she was carrying 200 catties of corn home, San Lang, who was holding a dung fork and trying to dry horse manure, greeted her.

"Lang Jun is not at home again, why did he buy so much rice and come back?"

She thought for a moment, "It's a long story, sister-in-law is here?" ”

"My mother is weaving," San Lang was a little surprised, "Lang Jun wants to talk?" I'm going to ask my mother-in-law to come? ”

"It's a bit laborious to say this...... "she thought for a moment, "and you should quickly exchange the money in your family for grain and rice." ”

San Lang was taken aback, "Why do you want to buy rice now?" Do you want to lose all your wealth? ”

"The Taishi minted a small amount of money, and he used one baht as five baht!"

She finally opened the courtyard door with great difficulty, and the grain was piled into the house, and Saburo was still in a daze in the courtyard, not thinking about the consequences of using one baht as five baht.

Whether she knew the consequences or not, she had to make it clear to her neighbors.

After the silver money is worthless, prices will skyrocket, and finally return to the era of barter, and the landlords who have their own fields to stock up on grain and rice, and can be self-sufficient, do not have to worry, but these small citizens who have just come to Luoyang, and have not yet established themselves have a worrying future.

In order to survive this turmoil, we still have to quickly stock up on supplies for the winter.

In addition to grain, oil and salt should also be prepared. I have a garden, so I can temporarily be self-sufficient in vegetables, and then buy some beans to store, grind tofu and eat, eat raw bean sprouts, and make salt beans in salt water.

Seeing her so busy, the neighbors' attitude was a little hesitant.

"Why? At this time, I bought food and came back, and it was easy to get insects. ”

"Yes, it's only right to wait until autumn to buy grain."

"If it's such inferior money, how can the Taishi not know that the people are boiling? It's going to be reforged, right? ”

Although she didn't know how to answer the first two questions, she knew the last one.

"Mrs. Dong can set fire to Luoyang and move us to Chang'an," she said, "Do you really think he cares about how the people are boiling?" ”

Although everyone is still skeptical, it may be that the favorability of Lu Hangyu is relatively high, and the families still took out some savings and bought some food.

But Ah Qian was very unhappy, because she forgot about buying caramel......

"Don't talk about it!" The bear child shouted sadly, "It's a good thing I didn't tell Ah Huan!" ”

…… This is self-defeating.

But before she could apologize, Ah Qian had already run back to the house, ignoring her, alas.

Mei Niang, who came back with a small cart to unload some grain, saw this scene and was a little puzzled.

"Ah Qian, is this naughty again?"

"I promised to buy him candy and then forgot about it," she said, "and I don't blame him." ”

Mei Niang's face sank suddenly, "It's not a New Year's Day, and everyone's children are almost ten years old and still have to eat sugar, I'm really ashamed." ”

"It's nothing, sister doesn't have to blame him." She quickly waved her hand.

Seeing her waving her hand, Meiniang smiled bitterly, "I disturbed Lang Jun, it was because I was not strict in discipline, Lang Jun is not to blame." ”

…… Since the last time she broke the boat, Mei Niang is still very gentle with her, but she is much more polite. Although there are no more overtures that make her very embarrassed, I don't know why she still feels a little embarrassed.

Isn't she embarrassed to be a Death Star Man?

Seeing her hesitating there, Mei Niang asked again.

"Since Lang Jun is worried about the cheap money and expensive goods, why don't you spend the Lu rice on the Duting Marquis's Mansion as soon as possible?"

…… That's right, this year's hair salary has pay, money, and silk, what if there is a run in a few days? Although no one is so hungry that no one can starve Lu Bu's head, who knows what will happen to the servants below?

The next day was a sunny day, just in time for transporting grain.
