In the early morning, Mei Jingjing woke up suddenly. She wanted to sit up but she felt someone was doing something wrong on her.
I opened my eyes and saw clearly that it was my boss, who was kissing and twisting on my snowy peak, a little shy.
"The bully in charge gave me a lot of trouble last night. Why did he do it again this morning?"
"Can't control it, can't control it."
Liang An said something vague and started his sowing business again. When all the work was over, Liang An sat up and suddenly slapped himself.
"I am really not a human being. How old am I and how old is Mei Jingjing?
What if in future generations, he would not be dragged out and shot several times? Even if you don't get shot, you still have to sit in jail!
But what about now? He actually did something so unworthy of a beast.
Why! "
Liang An sighed, and suddenly felt two soft masses coming up behind him.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you beating yourself up? Is it because you feel uncomfortable serving me?"
"no no."
He was feeling annoyed at first, but Mei Jingjing was hugging Liang An from behind, which made Liang An feel that he was not a good person. He turned around to look at Mei Jingjing and said apologetically.
"Madam, I actually deceived you and sold the two fish for fifty copper coins. But I didn't use the fifty copper coins to buy food. Instead, I went to Cui Mansion to make a deal and borrowed five taels from him. silver."
"ah?"
Mei Jingjing was a little scared this time.
"Why is the head of the family borrowing money again? We need to repay the borrowed money. We are all sensible people and we can't be that old bastard."
Just as Mei Jingjing finished talking about Liang An, Liang An smiled.
What Liang An had in mind was simple. In ancient times, making salt, soap, and turning brown sugar into white sugar was the most profitable business.
Now there seems to be no production near salt, and soap requires a lot of investment. I can only borrow some money, buy some brown sugar and turn it into white sugar to get money and change my embarrassing life.
It's just that Liang An has no way to talk to Mei Jingjing about these things.
Mei Jingjing, a simple little girl, couldn't bear to be frightened. If she failed, it would undoubtedly make her already impoverished family even worse.
"Madam, you don't need to worry too much. I just want to make money. I'll go to my friends in the county and ask them to borrow some money first. They are all young men from rich families. They don't need the money. We will pay it back slowly when we have money. Borrow Mr. Cui has interest, and it’s very high.”
When Liang An said this, Mei Jingjing finally felt relieved.
"I see, then the slave family got up and prepared for the master. The master just happened to go to the county town with the fish. Maybe the price of the fish is more expensive?
At this. Fish costs seven to eight cents per catty in rural towns, but may cost ten cents per catty in the county town. "
"Okay, everything depends on Madam."
But Mei Jingjing was about to stand up in front of Liang An. Just as she was about to move, she suddenly screamed in pain and covered her lower body with her hands. This made me feel pity for Liang An even more.
Liang An asked Mei Jingjing concernedly, but Mei Jingjing lowered her head and did not dare to say anything. How can you say such a shameful thing?
It's just that Liang An couldn't help asking about things she knew she was asking, which made Mei Jingjing have no choice but to dodge left and right. The mountains on her chest couldn't help but rise and fall, which made Liang An's head get angry.
Liang An chuckled, and pressed Mei Jingjing under her again while she was surprised and confused.
When it was three o'clock in the morning, Liang An got up refreshed. Looking at Mei Jingjing who had her head buried in the quilt and wouldn't stick it out no matter what, Liang An laughed.
"My wife already has rice and noodles at home, so don't make it difficult for yourself to eat more and be strong. Otherwise, if you are so thin, you won't be able to withstand your husband's conquest. What should you do?"
After saying this again, Liang An picked up two fish and walked out of the house, carefully closed the door, crossed the bridge, and walked towards the county seat.
It's just that this step of looking back three times can't help but make people feel that it's a little short of success and more than enough failure.
Finally, Liang An gritted his teeth. It was getting late now, so he couldn't delay for too long. It was better to go to the town first and sell the fish, then rent a carriage and quickly go to the county seat.
Otherwise, don't worry your wife for too long during the forty or fifty miles round trip, and you still need to buy a lot of things, and you will be delayed a little in the county.
After selling the fish, he got another fifty copper coins. He spent two cents to hire a round-trip carriage, which made An couldn't help but sigh.
The purchasing power of this copper coin is really sufficient.
After arriving in the county town, he gave the car owner an extra dollar and asked him to go to the teahouse at the gate of the city to drink a bowl of tea while he waited for himself. Liang An entered the county town without stopping.
Liang An's lips twitched as he just paid a penny to enter the city.
Hiring a carriage only costs two cents, a bushel of rice costs four cents, and entering a city gate costs one cent. One tael of silver will be spent every day in less than three years. This tax is really nothing to say.
It is only used to enrich the country and strengthen its army, but most of this money goes to foreign countries.
well!
Liang An sighed helplessly and moved forward with his head lowered. Suddenly, a figure blocked him in front of him.
"Where is Brother Liang going?"
Listening to this familiar voice, Liang An suddenly raised his head.
"Brother Xiao."
The two of them hurriedly bowed in a literati style, and in the county town where Liang An called Brother Xiao, Xiao Feng, the son of a grain shop, hurriedly and secretly pulled Liang An to the side.
"Brother Liang, why do we brothers have to be so polite? We always thought that Brother Liang's father would pass away and he would keep an eye on You at home for a while. We didn't expect that he would come to school now. If my husband knew about this, he would slap him."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao, for reminding me."
Liang An wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Great health values filial piety.
When an elder dies, the direct descendants of the younger generation always have to stay at home for a period of time.
My father has only passed away a month ago, and I am actually married. If I tell this, will I still have the reputation of being a scholar?
Then Liang An raised his hand and said, "Brother Xiao taught me that there are just some things that force me to come to the county."
Xiao Feng didn't ask Liang An what he was doing. Instead, he secretly found a book in a corner where no one else could see it.
"Brother Liang, I have a good book here. Come and give me some advice."
As Xiao Feng spoke, he took out a very abstract book that he cherished as a treasure. It basically had no preface and follow-up, but it made people think about it.
Look at the exaggerated portrait above. Liang An was stunned.
"Disgraceful to politeness!"
Four words popped out of his mouth and he casually threw the book in his hand forward, while Xiao Feng put the book away solemnly.
"Brother Liang An, please don't be so ignorant. We will start a family and start a business in the future. Why don't we learn how to increase our experience by reading these things? Besides, this book is very expensive."
So expensive?
Two words suddenly flashed into Liang An's mind. Liang An asked Xiao Feng curiously.
"How much does this book cost?"
"One tael of silver each!"
"What? So expensive?"
In an instant, a bold plan emerged in Liang An's mind.
"Brother Xiao, I'm going to buy a few books first. I just want to take advantage of Ding You to study, so I won't disturb you."
"Okay, Brother Liang, it's up to you."
Liang An quickly found his target in the bookstore, a very popular book.
Just when I had a plan, I was ready to take action immediately, buy supplies, get on the carriage and start returning.
However, the carriage was from the town, so Liang An didn't pay attention. Soon the carriage stopped in the town. Liang An thought he was home, so he got off the carriage and ran into Butler Cui.
"Huh? Is this Liang An? Are you still riding in the carriage? Have you borrowed money? Don't attack the big-tailed wolf if you don't have money."
Liang An, who was originally very happy, was a little angry for a moment: "Butler Cui, what do you mean by this? My friend just hasn't returned. That's all.
And you'd better pray that I can borrow the money, otherwise the money will be really hard to come by. "
Liang An was not afraid of boiling water to kill the pig, and Butler Cui gritted his teeth.
"you……"
Liang An ignored Butler Cui, got in the car and continued driving. Butler Cui had no choice but to give way.
The one who owed money was the uncle, and Liang An was finally happy about this.
