Chapter 13: Refined Salt and the Marriage Contract

To tell the truth, Zhang Bairen is really not very clear about history and the direction of history, he is a Taoist, and the time to study the scriptures every day is not enough, where is there still time to study history, about the history of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Bairen only knows about it, if it is subdivided, but his eyes are hazy, and he begins to grasp blindness.

Zhang Bairen shouted in front of his house, and Zhang's mother came out and said, "What did my son say?"

"Mother, the man in the army actually kept his integrity and sent the supplies over, but the child's strength was thin, but he couldn't hold it, and asked his mother to help" Zhang Bairen said, turned around and ran to the next door and shouted: "Uncle! Uncle! Come and help me get something!"

"You kid, what do you want to take if you make a fuss and scare me?" A man came out next door, in his forties, weather-beaten, and the furrows on his face began to show, premature and decrepit, typical malnutrition.

"Just follow me," Zhang Bairen said in a loud voice.

"Brother Bairen, Brother Bairen!" Zhang Bairen had just taken a step, but he saw a figure running behind him, and instantly grabbed Zhang Bairen's sleeve: "Brother take me there, I also want to see the excitement." ”

"Xiaocao, my brother still has something to do, I'll play with you when I come back later!" Looking at the little girl in tattered clothes and dirty clothes in front of him, Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly and rubbed the little girl's hair.

"Okay! Brother Bairen hasn't played with me for a few days, I'll wait for you at your house!" Zhang Xiaocao turned around and ran into Zhang Bairen's house.

Zhang Bairen rubbed his nose and began to lead the way in front, Uncle Zhang said, "What the hell are you kids!"

"Big sister is going too" Looking at Zhang Bairen's mother, Uncle Zhang blushed and asked.

Mother Zhang nodded: "This kid said that he exchanged some items with the army, and I will follow over to take a look." ”

The three of them talked and laughed along the way, came to the entrance of the village, found the place where the items were hidden, looked at the big package, Zhang's mother and Uncle Zhang were stunned, Zhang Bairen said: "Uncle, why are you stunned, don't you hurry up and carry it." ”

"Okay" Uncle Zhang woke up, rolled up the package on the ground and threw it on his shoulder, walked all the way to Zhang Bairen's house, and put the package down.

"Let's see what it is" Mother Zhang smiled, Uncle Zhang opened the package when he heard this, and then gasped.

"My mother, what did you kid do, the people in the army would give you so many supplies?cloth, dried meat, silver money!and a long sword!" Uncle Zhang's words became higher and higher, and his face was stunned with shock, and his head was a little dizzy when he looked at the things in front of him.

"What?" Mother Zhang was shocked when she heard this, hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the materials in the package and was stunned, then glanced at Zhang Bairen and did not speak.

"What's in the jar?" Looking at the two black jars the size of a baby's head, Uncle Zhang said strangely, as he spoke, picked up one of the jars, but after opening it, he was stunned there, speechless for a long time, and after a while, his voice trembled: "This ...... Is this refined salt? Is it refined salt or sugar?"

Mother Zhang was stunned for a moment, stepped forward to look at the fine, snow-white particles, stretched out her plain hand and put it in her mouth, her brows furrowed: "It's refined salt!

"My mother, this jar of refined salt has no price, I'm afraid it will be worth a hundred taels of silver!" Uncle Zhang's hands trembled, and he carefully put down the jar in his hand, as if this small jar weighed a thousand pounds and couldn't pick it up by himself.

"There's another jar here" Zhang Mu opened another jar and looked at the snow-white in her eyes, but compared with the previous jar, this jar was a little sticky: "This is white sugar!"

Looking at the items in front of her, cloth, long sword, refined salt, sugar, jerky, and grain, Zhang Mu's face not only did not smile, but became gloomy, but it did not attack.

"Refined salt and white sugar are good things" Zhang Bairen smiled, didn't notice Zhang's mother's gloomy face at all, stepped forward and took the refined salt and put it in his mouth, with some tears in his eyes, it has been four years since he came to this world, this is the first time Zhang Bairen has eaten salt!

This is no joke, Zhang Bairen is really eating salt for the first time. In the past, all I ate was the most primitive salt mine, and if I boiled it with water, it was used as edible salt, and without any treatment, it would kill people!

"Come, uncle, let's not talk about the cloth, let my mother make a dress for Xiaocao, this refined salt and white sugar is half of our two families" Looking at the cloth in the package, Zhang Bairen nodded, and probably knew what the other party meant, it was nothing more than trying to win over himself, but he paid for it.

Zhang Bairen didn't know that the current refined salt was Yu Juluo's use, and Yuwen CD privately gave it to Yu Juluo, and in order to win over Zhang Bairen, a young seedling, he was willing to give it away.

"This ...... This is not good, it is too precious! no! no!" Uncle Zhang shook his head again and again, this honest man had never seen refined salt in his life, let alone eaten it, the preciousness of refined salt was more popular than silver in this era.

"Since Bairen has spoken, Brother Zhang will take it, thanks to you for taking care of our mother and son in the past few years, it is not a matter of respect for the fine salt" Zhang's mother took the words on the side.

"No! No! It's too expensive, I can't ask for it!" Uncle Zhang shook his head again and again, his face full of determination.

Mother Zhang smiled when she saw this: "I see that Xiaocao is a good girl, how about these refined salt and sugar are considered as dowries? Xiaocao, this child, I like it very much! It is not bad to be my daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in the future!"

When Zhang Bairen heard this, he stood there in a daze, looking at the dirty little girl on the side, not knowing what to say!

"Okay! Bairen, this child has been sensible since he was a child, since the eldest sister said so, then the marriage is decided!" Uncle Zhang clapped his hands and said, Uncle Zhang has always looked at Zhang Bairen's well-behaved and sensible in his eyes, but he is a good match for life.

Mother Zhang turned around and walked into the house, took a jar to separate the refined salt from the sugar, and stuffed it into Uncle Zhang's hand, but saw that Uncle Zhang had been staring at the refined salt and sugar in his hand and smiled from ear to ear.

Only Zhang Xiaocao stood there ignorantly, smiling stupidly, not knowing what was going on, but the adults were so happy, Zhang Xiaocao was naturally happy.

"Alas...... Mother...... I ......" Zhang Bairen wanted to speak.

"Looking back, my mother has something to ask you" Zhang's mother put away the dry food and dried meat, and talked and laughed with Zhang's father and exchanged the eight characters of the birthday, if this remote ghost place comes according to the rules, everyone can't afford to consume it, so it's so simple to settle down for the time being, exchange the relatives, and send someone to propose marriage, marry and then mention the three media and six appointments in the future.

Sending the smirking Uncle Zhang away, Zhang's mother glanced at Zhang Bairen, and pulled Zhang Bairen into the house, her face was gloomy like water, Uncle Zhang didn't understand so much as a rough person, but did Zhang's mother know that people in the army would send so many things for nothing for no reason?

"Say, why did the army send you so many things! Not to mention two pheasants, even a hundred may not be able to be replaced" Zhang Mu's face was serious.

The joy on Zhang Bairen's face turned into a bitter gourd face, his brain turned rapidly, and he instantly made up a perfect reason: "The general of the army, General Kuluo, was surprised when he saw my bones, and wanted to take the child as an apprentice!"

"The general in the army accepts you as an apprentice?" Zhang Mu looked at Zhang Bairen, lowered her head and said: "I have also heard of the prestige of General Yu Kuluo, could it be that the general of the army near here is Yu Kuluo?"

"Exactly," Zhang Bairen nodded repeatedly.

"Since General Yu looks up to you, that's a good thing, you will have to practice hard in the future, don't let down the general's kindness" Looking at the long sword, and then thinking about Zhang Bairen's four-year-old child, who has never been in contact with the outside world, how to know Yu Juluo's name, Zhang's mother relaxed in her heart, and it didn't look like a fraud when she saw that long sword.

"The child knows, naturally cherish this hard-won opportunity" Zhang Bairen picked up the long sword on the side, the long sword was about to catch up with Zhang Bairen, Zhang Bairen was too young to play.

"Okay, you go to read the book, you can't forget to read martial arts, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, the martial arts are powerful, and the status of the scholar is not as good as the reader, in the future, my son has both civil and military skills, and I will be a champion of both civil and military affairs, and I will not ask you so harshly as my mother" Mother Zhang turned around and began to clean up the house.

"Huh ~~~ " Zhang Bairen breathed a sigh of relief, this level is over, in the name of Yu Juluo, many things can be done in the future, this is an unexpected surprise for Zhang Bairen.

"At the beginning of spring next year, my sword technique will be able to go further, and the benefits will be countless!" Zhang Bairen grinned.
