Chapter 5

Deng Dalang looked at the second daughter who brought him a chair and tea. He was satisfied.

But his eyes fell on the old man's basket of leeks on the steps. He couldn't help frowning. Did his second daughter come back to her mother's house again?

I took Deng Jinling's water and drank it all at once. Then I had time to ask her how she had time to come back to her mother's home.

Deng Jinling said the previous words again. Deng Jingu came with Deng Jinsuo and called for her second sister. Then she turned around and went to the East chamber.

"Ah, golden drum!"

She called out, and Deng Jingu didn't know whether he heard it or not. The more the wind came under her feet, she flashed into the East chamber.

"Four ya! Are you better? "

This is the first person who really cares about Lin Anxin after she came across.

"Dizzy, weak all over." Her voice is a little hoarse.

Seeing that there was no water in the bowl on the high stool, Deng Jingu picked up the bowl and said, "are you thirsty, or shall I pour you a bowl of cold water first?"

"Well!" Not to mention that it's OK, when Deng Jingu said that, Lin Anxin felt that his voice was almost smoking.

Most of them have not completely abated the fever.

Deng Jingu pours a bowl of cold water for her. The voice of Deng jingling comes from the yard. It seems that he is complaining that Deng Jingu shouldn't be used to her like this.

Lin Anxin tilted her head and thought, she really wants to swear!

After eating water, Lin Anxin felt better.

"My second sister always talks a lot when she comes here. Don't be angry." Deng Jingu took the bowl and put it on the high stool: "I'll pour you a bowl of cold water and put it here later."

"Talkative? Is she not afraid to go to hell? " Lin Anxin cursed her angrily.

I can't lie down for a while when I'm sick. It's so heartless.

"Oh, I don't care about her. You can be angry. I think it's better. Here, I left it quietly. I heard from my mother that the medicine was a little bitter this time. I took advantage of my father's carelessness and hid it with a piece of sugar. Next time I took the medicine, I'll have a sweet bite."

Don't look at Deng Jingu's simple and honest appearance. In fact, he has a deep heart.

Lin Anxin didn't want it, but when she thought about the herbal soup that could make her bile flow all over the place, she had to wring her eyebrows to take it.

Deng Jingu couldn't help laughing and comforted: "you are sick. My mother gave up more copper plates and specially invited the most famous old doctor from all over the country to show you. I think the medicine is very bitter. Otherwise, according to your temperament, I'm afraid I won't even frown."

Lin An's heart can't help turning her lips secretly. Can the original owner compare with her?

She is not as tenacious as the original owner. She can't fight back, scold, and work hard to please her mother-in-law.

When she was in modern times, who was not the daughter of a wealthy family!

"Well!" Lin Anxin imitates the nature of the original owner and responds cleverly.

Deng Jingu still likes the quiet, quiet and hardworking original owner. Unfortunately, the original owner is not so lucky that he can't wait for Deng Jingu to grow up!

Lin Anxin sighed in his heart.

Fearing that Lin Anxin would be bored at home, Deng Jingu picked out some interesting stories he and Deng Dalang met when they were selling goods in the Village Lane outside, and told them to Lin Anxin one by one.

Let the new to the alien world Lin Anxin, how much of the world have some understanding.

This is a dynasty that has never appeared in history. It is called the great Zhou Dynasty. It belongs to yanluofu of Chuzhou. It is a village under the weight town of Yanghe county. The Deng family is located in Shangtang village. There is a canal between Shangtang village and Xiatang village of the original owner's family.

She also learned from Deng Jingu that a string of money is 100 Wen, a hanging of money is 1000 Wen, a hanging of money is one or two silver, and ten liang of silver is one or two gold.

In addition, Deng Jingu told her that in fact, people usually use copper money, which means that the very rich people can afford silver. As for gold, he has never seen it in the past few years as a salesman with Deng Dalang.

Lin Anxin was curious, so he asked, has he ever seen those noble men wearing gold and silver?

However, Deng Jingu said that there are many bronze, wood and silver ones. No one has ever worn gold ornaments in the town of Tuo and the eight townships.

Lin an thought to himself, maybe this town is too small.

Just this, she just thought about it in her heart.

Besides, when Deng Jinling saw that Deng Jingu ignored her and was not obedient at all, she came back and went straight to his little child's daughter-in-law's house. She felt even more unhappy.

"Dad, the golden drum and the golden lock have grown a lot. Now the golden drum is learning this craft with dad?"

Deng Dalang took out his copper pipe and lit it slowly. He just felt satisfied with a puff.

"Well, what else can we do if our ancestors don't learn to do this craft?"

"Dad, I've heard that the tax will be increased again. Can we still do this small business? I'm afraid I can't find a few cents a day! " Deng Jinling asked again.

Deng Dalang was not happy and said, "what do you do as a married woman?"Deng Jinling was not disheartened when he met with ashes. He said, "I'm not planning for the golden drum and the golden lock. My father-in-law said that next year, my little steamed bun stall will have to increase taxes. My father-in-law said that we should reduce some meat stuffing and put more vegetables in the future."

Deng Dalang nodded at Wen Yan, knowing why she came to her mother's house to search for many leeks.

"My mother's vegetable is really speechless. The leeks grow very well. If you cut one crop on the left and right, you can have another."

Deng Dalang thought for a while and said, "if not, ask your mother to dig some leek roots and send them to your mother-in-law's house some other day, so that your mother-in-law can find time to plant some leek in front of the yard by herself. This will also save you running back and forth, and save more money to buy vegetables."

Deng Jinling laughed and said, "OK, Dad, I'll ask my mother-in-law when I get home." There have been several such conversations.

Every time she said to go back and ask her mother-in-law, then there was no following.

Deng Jinling went back to her mother's home today, but she had something to do. Seeing that Deng Dalang was in a good mood today, she came closer and said, "Dad, Jin Gu is in good health. You see, my mother is busy in the kitchen. As soon as he comes back, he doesn't go to see my mother. He just thinks about his child's daughter-in-law."

"That child is a diligent one." Deng Dalang said with a smile.

Deng Jinling did not like to curl her lips: "Dad, don't blame me for being too talkative. I want to say, what's the use of diligence? Can it be a silver flower? "

"This Naturally, it can't. who can call the golden drum hit such a disaster? " Deng Dalang's eyes flashed slightly.

"Dad, Jingu is going to start the door of the Deng family in the future. If dad is good at Jingu, why don't he think of a way to avoid it? I'm a elder sister, and I can't help it."

Deng Jinling's words just started, and the shrewd Deng Dalang recognized them.

He sighed and replied, "why, what's your best way? At that time, the golden drum fell into the water, and it was thanks to Lin Shunhe that the golden drum survived. They all said that there would be a blessing in the future if we didn't die in great danger! "

"It's going to be in the future if we don't have a good future. It doesn't look like The Lin family is so poor that in the future the girl and the golden drum will live together. Won't she stick to her mother's house? I don't believe it

Seeing that her father was smoking dry tobacco in silence, Deng Jinling said, "what a handsome young man we are, we have learned the craft with our father. I don't know how many rich people are staring at us from all over the world, so my father's heart is wide. Why did we join the Lin family at the beginning?"

"Siya has a good temperament and is diligent." Deng Dalang could find no other reason.

"Dad, I'm not talking about you. You've been in the wind and rain all these years, and you've been sick. Do you hope that Jin Gu will follow your old way in the future?"

As long as Deng Dalang is more capable, he will not allow Jin Gu to continue his work.

"Otherwise, what shall we do?"

"It's not easy to do. Our golden drum looks more like my mother. I'm afraid I can't get a good daughter-in-law with money."

"That can't do. We can't do the repentance. Your elder sister has passed down the incense for the Lin family." Deng Dalang immediately waved his hand.

"Ah, Dad, I didn't say that I'm sorry for my marriage. It's a big deal. I'll find a better mother-in-law for Siya and have the right to be our daughter."

Seeing that his tone was relaxed and his attitude slowed down, Deng Jinling immediately advised: "my mother's distant cousin, the Zhou family, and my father know how strong his family is. There are ten acres of good farmland and five acres of lotus root pond in my family. Not to mention the harvest of ten acres of good farmland, we can say that the five acres of lotus root, even the big fish in the lotus root pond, are sold together, and there are a lot of silver in a year. ”

Deng Dalang heard that the Zhou family is much richer than his own.

When Deng Jinling saw that her father didn't make a sound, she immediately knew that it was a heartbeat.

Then he offered an attractive condition: "Dad, the eldest cousin and the second cousin are all married in the town, and the mother-in-law's family has a shop. They will supplement their mother's family from time to time. Aunt Biao said that as long as our family agrees, they will take Siya away and let Jingu beg for her and recruit her to be their daughter-in-law. At that time, they will marry her in four acres of dry land! Aunt Biao also said, "that's hongqimin field."

In the great Zhou Dynasty, there were two kinds of land deeds: the red one was registered with the government and paid the changed name silver, which was recognized by the court. There was another kind of white deed, which was not recognized by the court and was a private transaction. Such white deed was generally OK. If the money was paid by the dishonest one, he would sue the buyer to the yamen, saying that the buyer had occupied his land, and then he would lose money Madam, I'm a soldier again.

Deng Dalang has been a peddler all his life. He has more eyes than the stars in the sky.

Naturally, I know what's at stake here. What's more, if four mu of dry land is well raised, it can be converted to mulberry land. At that time, the mother-in-law of the family can also raise some silkworms. Can the descendants of the Deng family be converted to agricultural citizenship? In the future, they will not be able to enter school to test for a scholar and shine their family glory.

If his family's golden drum really asks Zhou youzhao to be his daughter-in-law, then the title deed in Zhou youzhao's hand will become the property of his Deng family's descendants, which is very worthwhile.

Although four mu of dry land costs only eight liang of silver, it also needs to have the money on hand. Deng Dalang is the sole breadwinner of the Deng family. In previous years, he found more money, so he can make ends meet.But now the tax is heavier and heavier, he has to make some plans.

Deng Jinling's words made him very excited, but Deng Dalang was a face loving man. He still said: "we can't ask others to poke our spine. The Lin family is your brother's life-saving benefactor."

"If we find another rich family for Siya, the Lin family will not be able to say. If the villagers talk about it, they will only say that we are actually keeping Siya as a daughter, and we are a kind family." Deng Jinling said, "Dad, you might as well add it up with your mother. But my cousin is very old, and I'm sure I'll have a better mother-in-law in the past two years. If she doesn't like our golden drum, she won't give up such a rich dowry."

This is the truth. Deng Jin's character is good, his temperament is honest, his work is very steady, and his face value is quite high. Deng Dalang has great expectations for his eldest son.
