take a wife to support the family

Chapter 435 Liu Yi sells mountain goods

A few days after Hezhen left, Liu Yi came to Song Haonian and said that he planned to take his brothers to do business.

Although Song Haonian didn't go out with everyone in the past few years, in fact, everyone didn't cut off this livelihood, but the number of times was less than before, and they no longer depended on it for food.

Seeing that the life of the brothers is getting better and better, Song Haonian is also happy. He said: "There are so many women and children in my family. I really don't feel relieved to leave them out. Brother, you have nothing to say if you want to go to me. Just do whatever you want me to do for you." Say."

Originally, his husband and wife had to go out because they were about to starve to death, but now there is no threat of freezing and starvation, and secondly, there are indeed many children in the family, and they are only thrown to a few women, which is really worrying.

Liu Yi also understood this truth, and said with a smile: "We all know about your family's affairs. Even if you want to be with us, we don't trust our brothers and sisters. I'm here to tell you that I have time to take care of us. Xiaojia, secondly, what do you think is a good job for a living?"

These brothers have no fixed outlets, they sell food when the price of food is high, and collect fur when the price of fur is good. They also get some of the same cloth jewelry, good wine and cigarettes, and bring letters and deliver them to people. Goods, these businesses are willing to work, never empty back and forth, and earn money on both ends.

Song Haonian hadn't done this job for a few years, so he didn't rush to speak for a moment, so he asked Liu Yi what they had sold the best in the past two years, and Liu Yi said: "In terms of earning more money, it's more profitable to sell fur outside, but this It’s spring, and there are furs, I’m afraid it’s not easy to get rid of them. Besides, glass mirrors and new fabric jewelry brought back from big places, these things sell the best.”

In fact, Song Haonian's rose dew is also expensive, but it's a pity that most of the rose dew is entrusted to the guy in Rose Manor to sell.The brothers, relying entirely on the Rose Field and Song Ermei still have some production, and the family saves dozens of bottles and sells them, which is also a large income.

The manor is the crown prince's capital, and the crown prince's side concubine, Mrs. Lu, is taking care of it. It makes no sense not to take care of her own family. Therefore, without Song Haonian opening his mouth, they are a hundred times more attentive than before. One uses the latest purification method, and the purchase price is higher than the usual price.

Regardless of Liu Yi, Song Haonian couldn't think of roses for a while, and said to Liu Yi: "Brother, you only think about selling fur in autumn, but you don't know that there are the most people selling fur at that time, and the price is also high. But there is a class of people who can afford furs and are not very rich, and they are going to harvest some furs in the early spring to wear them in the winter."

When Song Haonian was in the capital, most of what he saw and heard was the top families, not the emperor's close ministers and could not be seen by him.

However, Qingsong is now in Beijing, and has the most contacts with Chen Bin and Yueniang’s family. The former son wrote back about this matter: "Qingsong went to Liaodong a few years ago and brought back some leathers. Besides sending them to us, his family also I kept a lot and planned to give it away, but as soon as spring began, Yueniang and her sister-in-law came to her and asked if there were any skins, and his family should prepare some."

Song Haonian thought, Chen Bin's family and Brother Yueniang's family are well-off, and they have to buy leather everywhere in the spring, maybe there are many such families in the provincial capital, so he advised Liu Yi to collect some leather, and prepare a few carts of mountain goods, They were all shipped to the provincial capital to be sold, and then brought back the favorite things that people in Taiping County bought.

Liu Yi thought it was reasonable, and went to discuss with other brothers, thinking that at this time, the price of collecting skins in the town is not high, and if they get it in the provincial capital, they can earn money if they can get it out, but if they can't sell it, there is In a dry and clean warehouse, it can still be sold next winter, so there is no loss.

Everyone agreed, and Liu Yi spread the word, saying that he wanted to collect some leather and mountain goods, who had them, but sent them to his house, and he would pay by weighing them.

There was a lot of noise in his house for a while, Xing'er avoided it, and she didn't like to go back to Lily's place all day long.

She is willing to come, Lily is not unhappy, and by the way, Zhaoren and Yi'an can teach her how to write, so as not to be able to write accounts and calculate, and the font is ugly, which makes people laugh.

This day, Lily was trying to make Ruchun talk, Xinger also came up to him, winked at Ruchun, made him laugh, and shouted: "Call me sister, quickly call me sister!"

Lily suddenly touched something on her mind: "Your mother hasn't come to see me for a few days, what is she doing at home?"

Xing'er pursed her lips, a glint of gloom flashed in her eyes, she didn't speak for a while, just in time Hanfang Hanai also came over to ask Ruchun to call her sister, the conversation changed, Lily didn't pursue it.

Afterwards, she finally felt that this was not quite right, Baihe said to Song Haonian: "Xing'er told me everything when I was young, but now that I have grown up, I feel a little rusty."

Song Haonian said with a smile: "Children always have something on their minds when they grow up, and you never told the mother-in-law everything, Xing'er is not our own daughter."

Lily couldn't help but lightly beat Song Haonian twice, and said angrily, "Nonsense! Are I the same person as my mother?"

Song Haonian laughed loudly, "Of course you are different from your mother-in-law, but you don't necessarily have to find out the bottom line of everything. If Xing'er doesn't say anything, even if you want to ask, you won't be able to find out. Why don't I give you an idea."

"What idea?"

"Are you talking empty teeth and asking me to give me advice?" Song Haonian pointed at his mouth and said, "I'll tell you after a kiss."

This man is not serious!Lily was angry and impatient, but sweet in her heart, she leaned over and touched his lips lightly, "Say it quickly."

Song Haonian was not reconciled, so he leaned over and kissed, and he let go after a while: "I'm an old couple, and I still want to fool me. Xing'er and Yi'an have a good time, you don't have anything to ask, let Yi'an ask Go, their little sisters always have something to say."

Lily suddenly realized that this really made sense: she had something on her mind when she was a child, and she dared not tell Mrs. Zhu even if she was killed, but she was able to reveal a few words to her two sisters, Yingchun Lamei.

There is no rush in this matter, if you ask urgently, I'm afraid it will frighten the child.After two or three days, Lily called Yi'an to her, and slowly talked to her about it, "I think you two have a good day, if you have a chance, just ask a question or two for me. It's nothing."

Big deal, she asked Li Caifeng directly.

Yi'an nodded in response, and then praised Baihe: "I advised Ruzhen to talk to Ruchun, but Ruchun was so annoying that he yelled at Ruzhen several times."

Ruchun refuses to speak until now, Lily is really afraid that if he doesn't open his mouth, he will become a little dumb, their parents will never dislike their son, but they feel distressed after all, and these days they are trying their best to force Ruchun to speak.

But Ruchun Niu has a weird heart and a quiet temper. His parents can't resist what he believes. It's these children who have an idea. Put Ruzhen, a small talker, in front of Ruchun. Ruchun is annoying. It was so bad, he yelled at his brother like scolding.

Although it was not a complete sentence, Lily finally opened her mouth, she was happy in her heart, and praised Yi'an: "I know you guys are smart, brother Chun is so obstinate, even your second uncle can't help him, thank you for having a way."

Yi'an jumped out and went to talk to Xing'er.

Lily still has other things to do: the good day to welcome the Spring Festival will be on March [-]rd, and Qingsong wrote again to say that Wenwa and Dou Wuniang's marriage is scheduled for April, and they have to make preparations.Don't think it's still early in April, when the gifts are prepared and delivered, they will be able to catch up.

Lily has never been stingy when it comes to giving her sister a wedding. When Lamei got married that day, her family was not very rich, so she gave a lot of things to accompany her. Although Zhu was stingy, Lamei's dowry was not ugly.

This time when Yingchun is getting married, Lily has more good things for her to put on the bottom of the box. Unlike in the past, the gift for welcoming the spring is naturally thicker than that of wintersweet, but Lily tried her best to level the bowl of water, and also gave her a box of jewelry and hairpin rings for wintersweet: "You I didn't have these things when I got married, but if you have them in Yingchun, you also have them."

Lamei has become more straightforward in the past few years, and said with a smile: "Can I still be angry with you for this? For such a big person, you still think that I am as old as Tingyu and not sensible?"

"No matter how old you are, you are still my sister."

Lamei didn't evade much, took the box and said: "Tomorrow, I will send you a little suckling pig whose head just blooms in spring. You can eat it roasted or steamed. It is very fragrant."

Lily was taken aback: "Why are you eating suckling pig? Is he sick and dead?"

Sister Lamei Bai glanced, "How can I give you unclean pigs? It's just that there are so many piglets this year, and it's troublesome to raise them all. We plan to sell some piglets to others, and get a few suckling pigs to eat."

Lily replied with a smile: "I blamed you wrongly, remember to choose the head for me, there are so many children in the family."

Lamei said: "I know, I love them as much as you do, and besides, we, Tingyu, go to your house every three days, how can I not care?"

The two sisters also talked about what gifts to prepare for the Spring Festival. If the whole family will go to the county, where will they live?

Lamei also made many friends during the years in the county, and was familiar with several foot shops, and said: "Let my family talk to the owner of the Mijia shop later, their house is clean and spacious, and leave us a few more rooms." Room, clean up ahead of time."

Small local foot shops are mostly named after the owner’s surname. The surname Li is the Li’s shop, and the surname Mi is the Mi’s shop.Mijia store is not the best foot store in the county, but it is clean and comfortable, and the most important thing is that the place is spacious, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to accommodate dozens of people.

Lily then asked Lamei to tell Wang Xiaofu that the store must be booked in advance.

Two days later, I went to the county with Zhao Ren to see the progress of the school. I saw that the house was neatly repaired, and only the small things such as painting the walls and arranging the curtains were left. Negative."

The most important thing about this school is that it should be warm in winter and cool in summer, the walls should be thick, and the lighting should be good. If the general hadn't studied at the women's school in Beijing, I don't know what to do.

Seeing that the progress was going well, Zhaoren was delighted, and wrote a letter to Jingzhong to give credit to the general when he turned around.After a few days, the rewards for Jiang Zuo will come down, and an unexpected event will also happen to Zhaoren and Baihe.

But now, these two people don't know that this trouble is already on the way. In spring, everything sprouts, and they are taking a few children to pick the tender Artemisia betel to eat at home.
