Chapter 515 The world is bustling, all for profit
There are already anxious spectators, and they can't hold back.
"What the hell is going on? Don't sell it, you're in a hurry. ”
The storyteller clapped his hands.
"As a result, that family was able to keep the clouds open and see the moon, and they were lucky with shit. When I went to the mountain to chop wood, I accidentally dug up a century-old wild ginseng. Guess how much silver can this century-old ginseng sell for when it changes hands? ”
The spectators began to think.
"Can it be worth fifty taels?"
Someone who hadn't been exposed to these things asked casually, this was already what he was thinking about. But the export was squeezed.
"Fifty taels? One hundred taels is about the same, that's a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng. Since it can not be the general price with ordinary mountain ginseng. ”
"Storyteller, is he right?"
The storyteller smiled crookedly, and there was a bit of ridicule in that smile.
He stretched out a hand, and spread his fingers, and the man who had begun to say fifty taels cried out with joy:
"Look, look, it's not that I'm right, it's fifty taels!"
Everyone said in their hearts, fifty taels is not a lot, with the life of the family surnamed Yang, these fifty taels are enough to live for more than ten years.
Unbeknownst to him, the storyteller waved his hand.
"Bad, bad, that hundred-year-old mountain ginseng can be sold for five hundred taels of silver!"
"What? Five hundred taels? ”
The spectators gasped, and they all got goosebumps on their bodies, and the scene was a little noisy for a while.
Five hundred taels, how many ordinary people, they can't earn five hundred taels of silver in their lives.
When people go out to chop firewood, they get five hundred taels, which is really shit luck.
"Mr. Storyteller, where did their family go to chop firewood?"
Someone asked this sentence, and everyone stared at the storyteller.
When they're fine, they go for a walk, and maybe they can get a shit luck?
The storyteller shook his head and persuaded:
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't think about it. The villain has lived in this capital for half his life, and he has never heard of wild ginseng on the mountain. If you don't talk about this good luck, that's all. ”
When he said this, everyone remembered again, that family has a pair of twins!
In this cold winter, you can dig up a hundred years of wild ginseng, isn't it blessed by God?
"Could it be, twins, a godsend? You didn't make up a story to fool us, did you? ”
The spectators listened to it with itching in their hearts, and suddenly thought, if there is a pair of twins in their own family, will these good fortunes also fall on their heads?
"These two families are not made up by villains, my lords, you can go and verify."
As soon as the storyteller said this, the guests instantly believed most of them.
Yes, people live in the capital, and this is not a matter of moving their mouths.
People's curiosity always makes people extremely diligent.
The story of the two families was quickly confirmed.
Not only that, but there are also rumors of good luck in other families with twins.
And before, he said that he wanted to buy a pair of twins to serve him, but he really made a big fanfare, found someone to have a tooth, and went to find it at a high price.
But now, twins can bring good luck to the family, not to mention, it is still the meat that fell from their own bodies. Who can be willing to sell it for a few taels of silver?
In this way, the twins were originally hidden in the family, and those who were not allowed to come out to meet people were also happy and generous, taking the children in and out.
Instead of attracting fingering, it attracted the envy of others.
Catching up with this wave, the luckiest thing is that the twins who have just given birth have not been drowned or abandoned again.
The only sad thing is that the mothers who gave birth to twins were not blessed by luck, and most of them died.
The family can only say that there is no blessing, and they will no longer blame the innocent baby.
Chu Yunxi in the palace, listening to Wu Wei and Wu Wei, reported to her the situation outside the palace from time to time, thoughtfully.
Public opinion is really a sharp weapon, and it depends on how to use it.
The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.
Now it is tempting people's hearts with benefits, but it is not a long-term solution.
Once people find out, this kind of luck is just a few people have. Unfortunately, however, is the fate of most people. Public opinion will then tilt to the other side.
The only way to solve the problem once and for all is to improve the chances of survival of twin mothers and reduce the death of young children.
When a good thing is no longer accompanied by a bigger bad thing, people will only focus on the good thing.
Thinking of these days, Si Qi, who was immersed in studying medical books, the corners of Chu Yunxi's lips curved slightly.
In the future, perhaps, there will also be a place for Si Qi.
She looked outside the hall, and the snow was floating again, and she couldn't help but step out and breathe in the clear air.
In the next year, sweet potatoes can be planted, and with food, the people's lives will be much better.
Xiaolian hurriedly took the cloak and wrapped her tightly.
"Queen Mother, don't catch a cold. You are now a pregnant person, running out like this, if the emperor sees it, you should blame the slave and maid for not serving well. ”
Chu Yunxi listened to Xiaolian's broken thoughts, and became a little homesick. Speaking of which, she hasn't been home for a month, right?
Tomorrow will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I don't know if the general's mansion is as prosperous as in previous years.
How much delicious food did Mother prepare? Brothers, how many firecrackers will be set off? Sister Xiaotuanzi, how cute it should be to wear New Year's clothes.
She thought about it, and smiled happily. It wasn't until Jun Lingyun took her into his arms that he realized that there was an extra person around him.
"Xi'er, why do you think so engrossedly?"
"Homesick."
Chu Yunxi smiled lightly and answered truthfully.
In my memory, celebrating the New Year with my family was still in my previous life, before I entered the palace.
Jun Lingyun turned her to himself, his eyes doting.
"Then we'll go home for the New Year."
Go home? Spring festival? For the emperor, the palace is his home. And the home in Jun Lingyun's mouth, does it mean that General Chu's mansion?
In previous years, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor would prepare a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, and in addition to dining together with the emperor's relatives and relatives, he would also feast the important ministers of the dynasty.
If the rules are suddenly broken this year, will the courtiers be dissatisfied?
Even if there are only two people in the palace now, Jun Lingyun and her, strictly speaking, even if Jun Lingyun wants to find someone to celebrate the New Year with, it should be looking for Prince Hao's family and Princess Wantao.
"Are you really, going to take me back to the General's Mansion for the New Year?"
Chu Yunxi was spoiled by Jun Lingyun, although he was already much bolder, but he had not yet reached the point where he went his own way and completely ignored the opinions of others.
Jun Lingyun is different, he is used to killing decisively, in his eyes, this is a trivial matter like what to eat for dinner.
"What's so hard about that? I am the emperor, do I want to eat where I want to eat, and I have to ask for the consent of others? ”
"But, shouldn't you, the family of King Zhaohao, the princesses who stayed in the capital, and the important ministers of the dynasty, enter the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve?"
Leaving a group of powerful people alone, just for her selfishness, Chu Yunxi always felt inappropriate.
