Then Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaowen carried down the second box, which contained chicken, duck and fish, with a large piece of pork on top.
As soon as he saw these things, Cui Dahe's eyes shone, and he hurriedly took Cui Fugui's hand, "Brother, let's go, let's drink tea in the house and let these young people busy."
After the two left, Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaowen covered the box and carried it to the yard again.
At this time, Mudan also came out to welcome him. There was a middle-aged woman next to him. I think she was Mudan's mother.
Peony gave Chen Xiaowen a sweet smile and shyly returned to her east wing.
Chen Xiaobei looked at Chen Xiaowen who was in a daze, gently tugged on the corner of his clothes, and pointed to the main room.
Chen Xiaowen finally came to his senses, quickly adjusted his emotions, and followed Chen Xiaobei in.
The room was warm. Chen Xiaobei turned to look at the corner. There was a small stove there, already burning charcoal.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei sighed secretly, this tnd is indeed luxurious.
He is the head of the village and even burns charcoal in the village. He is not willing to light the small stove so early, but Cui Dahe is living a leisurely life in this small life.
After seeing them sit down, Cui Dahe was still very polite and came forward with a teapot to give Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaowen a cup of tea each.
"Come, come, have a cup of tea. If you have something to say, speak slowly."
Chen Xiaowen was a little reserved and a little at a loss holding the tea cup.
It was Cui Fugui who was well-informed and said with a smile, "Xiaobei, just now, I told your Uncle Yamato about Xiaowen's situation. He is now the captain of your village's transportation team, in charge of the seven or eight vehicles." How much money will the carriage make this year? Please tell your uncle in detail."
Chen Xiaobei nodded. He had to say that if he wanted to be wise in the world, he would have to be his father-in-law.
Let’s start by telling Chen Xiaowen’s current identity. No wonder Cui Dahe is much more polite to Chen Xiaowen than at the beginning.
In this case, you have to praise it vigorously. Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei cleared his throat and said, "Uncle, let me tell you this, the strong laborers in our village, whether they are burning charcoal or doing other things, will only be paid twenty or thirty rich men a day. This is comparable to The labor force in the county town is much higher, and Xiaowen is the captain, so it’s only higher, not lower.”
"In addition, he also owns a carriage at home, so he can make a little more money from this business."
"Rough calculation, I can only get a few taels of silver in a month. Besides, if I go to the mountains to get some mountain goods and bring them to the city, I won't be able to count."
Cui Fugui obviously knew how to cook well, so he took the opportunity to add a few words, "Yes, yes, I know this well. A while ago, my son-in-law got two pheasants and sold them in the city for this amount."
As he spoke, Cui Fugui stretched out a finger.
Cui Dahe looked at the fingers in surprise, "One tael of silver?"
"Hey, how can I get one tael? I tell you, I sold ten taels." Cui Fugui's tone was full of pride.
After hearing this, Cui Dahe's eyes showed surprise, and he looked at Chen Xiaobei with a questioning look.
Chen Xiaobei nodded slightly.
"Yes, it was sold for ten taels of silver. By the way, the butler also said that you can take as much as you want, but you also know that pheasants are difficult to catch, and this winter is not a good time."
Cui Dahe smiled and nodded, looking at Chen Xiaowen with an increasingly friendly look.
"I watched Xiaowen grow up. Ever since I was a child, I felt that he would definitely have a future when he grew up."
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei knew that this was the end of the monthly flow, and now it was time to talk about Chen Xiaowen's family background.
But people from all over the country come to propose marriage, so there must be many well-off families. As for Chen Xiaowen's family conditions, there is really nothing to brag about. After all, how much money can you make with your family conditions.
Therefore, at this time, I must also do Xiaowen a favor. He also knew very well that bragging about how much money he had at this time was not a wise choice.
He suddenly thought that the emperor had granted marriage to Liu Rumei, so why not bring Chen Xiaowen with him next?
"Uncle, I really asked you to tell me. I'm afraid there's something you don't know yet. Xiaowen followed us to Wannian City a while ago. Why do you think we went? It was because the emperor was in trouble. We are looking for help."
Upon hearing this, Cui Dahe's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is Your Majesty coming to see you?"
"Well, the prince was in the mountains a while ago. You must know this. The prince is familiar with Xiao Wen. If he encounters trouble, why don't we send someone to ask Xiao Wen what to do? Xiao Wen will discuss it with us and go to the capital. .”
"By the way, the prince has already said that if Xiao Wen gets married in the future, he will have to send someone to deliver a congratulatory gift."
When Chen Xiaobei said this, Chen Xiaowen was so frightened that he trembled.
Of course, when Chen Xiaobei said this, he had his own confidence.
He had already planned to go to Prince Xiao Jingyun to ask for this favor in two days when he went to Wannian City to marry Liu Rumei.
To put it bluntly, this favor is not just for sending congratulatory gifts to Chen Xiaowen. In the future, when young talents in Hetou Village get married, the prince will come to show his interest.
It seems excessive, but in fact it is not an exaggeration. After all, the villagers have helped the prince so much, and the prince only needs to send someone to deliver something symbolically, or even does not need to send someone at all. He only needs to say a word to Hu Fan. When someone in the village gets married, go find Hu Fan yourself. At that time, Hu Fan can just bring something and come over and say a few polite words. After all, this is something everyone gives face to.
Sure enough, Cui Dahe's face burst into laughter when he heard this. (According to the usual practice, I have to catch the flies with a pleat after that. Now there are no flies in winter, so I won’t catch them anymore.)
"Oh, I know that Mudan's vision is right. Yesterday Mudan told me that so many young people from these eight villages came to propose marriage because it was Xiaowen's wish. The two of them often played together when they were young. This is also true. They are considered childhood sweethearts.”
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei coughed lightly and glanced at Chen Xiaowen. Of course Chen Xiaowen understood. He quickly stood up and hugged Cui Dahe with a fist, "Thank you, uncle."
Cui Dahe laughed loudly and pointed outside, "Okay, you go to that room and talk to Mudan. As for me, I have something to tell Xiaobei and your uncle."
Chen Xiaowen was overjoyed. After thanking him again, he turned around and went out. When he was far away, Cui Dahe looked at Chen Xiaobei and said, "Logically speaking, for this matter, Xiaowen's horoscope should be sent over first. I have to find someone to marry him."
"But I see that these two children are in love with each other. We don't have to worry about them. Let's just..."
