Have no money, have a good year. Xuange'er, who can't copy the book, made up his mind on the spring festival couplet.
Pang Jinglun thought the idea was excellent: "we still have one or two silver. Go and buy some ink." This spring festival couplet doesn't take much work. He can write it, too.
It took both teachers and students a day to write 800 couplets. When the stupid couplet was finished, Pang Jinglun said to xuange'er, "tomorrow you will sell these spring couplets!"
Brother Xuan is at a loss: "I, I can't......" He hasn't sold anything since he was a kid.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Go to the market and put things on it. There will be people who will buy it without shouting. " Spring Festival couplets should not be used in this family. Although these Spring Festival couplets are not carefully written by him, they are also better than those sold in stores. As long as they are taken out, they will not worry about no buyers.
Brother Xuan still hesitates. He hasn't sold anything since he was a kid.
Seeing this, a San hurriedly said, "young master, I'll sell it tomorrow."
Pang Jinglun knows that A-San's goal is to retreat: "Cheng, if you don't go, I will go with A-San tomorrow. All the money has been bought. If you don't hurry to sell Spring Festival couplets to earn some money, there will be no rice in the pot tomorrow. "
Pang Jinglun is too weak to be tired. A San's legs are not easy to walk. Anyway, brother Xuan can't let them sell Spring Festival couplets.
Bite bite teeth, Xuan elder brother son says: "I go."
Because there are many Spring Festival couplets, only brother Xuan sells them by himself. Just in case someone doesn't give money when he catches fish in troubled water, a San proposes to divide the couplet into ten parts.
If it had been before, brother Xuan would have felt that a San thought too much, and he would have been a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. But after two times of calculation, brother Xuan also has some shadow, so he has no objection.
Knowing that brother Xuan won't bargain with others, Pang Jinglun has set a price for these spring couplets. Ten couplets on the gate, four on the gate and two on the small gate.
This price is very expensive for the common people. So it took a long time for things to be set up, and a spring festival couplet was not sold.
However, there are still people who know the goods. The steward of a rich family in the county thought that the words on the spring festival couplet were excellent. Thinking that his master liked elegance, he bought two Spring Festival couplets with a try attitude.
The master in charge of the business has a good eye. When he sees the word, his eyes shine. Then he hears that it's a young man who sells Spring Festival couplets who immediately says, "go and invite the young man."
There is no matter to be courteous, but to be traitors is to be thieves. Brother Xuan has suffered two losses. He is unwilling to go with the manager this time. Who knows what's going to happen when you follow.
The manager's helplessness, finally can only buy the Spring Festival couplets, and then sent a post to brother Xuan: "my master said, I hope you can come to the Li mansion with your elder brother."
Brother Xuan took the post and nodded. But he didn't plan to visit Li's house. If it's true that corporal Li should come to his own door, rather than to his teacher.
These spring couplets sold for more than five liang of silver, while they spent only one or two on pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and earned more than four liang of silver. With this silver, it will be enough to last until the end of the year.
Seeing Pang Jinglun, xuange'er said happily, "teacher, the Spring Festival couplets have been sold for five, two, three hundred Wen."
Pang Jinglun is not surprised. There are still many people in the world who know the goods: "how about money?" Put the silver on brother Xuan. He is not at ease at all.
Xuan elder brother son's body to the sleeve touch, the result touched an empty: "silver, my silver?"
"Is it in the bag?"
"No, I put it in my sleeve. Why can't I find it?" I haven't found the silver for half a day. Brother Xuan is about to cry.
"Is it lost?" asked a third
Pang Jinglun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not lost, it's stolen. Do you think someone is near you on the way back? "
"No." Finish saying, Xuan elder brother son says again: "just be away from home 100 meters place, I was hit by the person next."
Pang Jinglun said across his face: "it must be a thief. Hit you deliberately and steal your silver. "
A 3 says anxiously: "young master, our rice is only enough for lunch."
Looking at the Xuan elder brother with red eyes, Pang Jinglun said: "don't be sad, you go to cook first. After dinner, we can think of a way. "
Pang Jinglun and other Xuan brothers went out and asked in a low voice, "did you arrange this thief?"
"No. We are only responsible for protecting the safety of the young master, the rest is not in our charge. " If the future three highness later these sufferings are specially arranged, in the heart certainly will have the pimple. It's impossible for them to do such a thing with future troubles. Of course, the most important thing is that Yuxi didn't order them to do these things.
Pang Jinglun is speechless: "it's too bad." Anything bad can be touched by brother Xuan.
A San's idea is quite different: "it's not bad luck, it's that he doesn't have the heart to prevent people. He must have been watched by the thief for so much money. " Although the security is good now, it can't stop thieves. Five Liang silver is nothing in brother Xuan's eyes, but for ordinary people, it's a lot of money.
Pang Jinglun did not understand, said: "the prince and his four Highnesses are so smart, how can ADA be so naive?" Youge'er is cheated by several thousand liang of silver. He can report the case immediately and then recover the silver. On the contrary, brother Xuan, when the money was stolen, he only knew how sad and sad he was. He didn't even think of the government reporting the case to recover the silver.
ADA, knowing what Pang Jinglun thought, said to the point, "he has not realized how important these five Liang silver coins are to us."
When Pang Jinglun heard this, he asked, "what should I do next? How hungry are you? "
"Let the young master find a way. I can't think of any way. We'll be hungry together. " If you are hungry, you will find a way.
After lunch, brother Xuan went out to find some work to earn some money. Unfortunately, no success.
The third said in a low voice: "young master, there is not much firewood, and charcoal can only be used tonight." Without firewood, not only can't cook, but also can't burn the pit. If there is no hot spot in this cold day, I'm afraid there will be something wrong with it.
Xuan elder brother's son was silent for a long time, only then stuffy said: "I will go out again tomorrow to see if I can find something to do."
Pang Jinglun put forward a suggestion: "you don't need a post from the Li family, or you can go to the Li family tomorrow and ask them for help."
"No." He would rather be hungry than ask for help. Otherwise, he has no face to go home to see his parents.
In the evening, brother Xuan went to bed after drinking enough water. But I woke up hungry after a short sleep. I want to drink water, but it's cold. Thinking about at home, whenever there is hot water to drink, brother Xuan's eyes can't help being red. Then, keep your eyes open until dawn.
In the early morning, xuange'er said to Pang Jinglun, "teacher, I can't wear that autumn suit. I want to take it as a pawn." He's still a long man. He can't wear the clothes he used to wear next year. It's better to take it as an emergency than take it with you all the time.
"Then go!" It's a step forward to think of being a dress.
Roll the clothes, and brother Xuan goes to the pawnshop. If he had, he might have hesitated. But this will make me hungry, and my dignity and other things are empty.
When he entered the pawnshop, brother Xuan handed the clothes to the pilgrimage.
The emperor took the clothes, glanced at them and said, "two hundred Wen."
Xuange'er's face was livid, but now it's not the time to be angry. He said with patience, "I use the best brocade for my clothes."
The emperor said impatiently, "at most three hundred Wen should not be taken away."
Although xuange'er is dedicated to reading sages, youge'er is worried that he will become a nerd when he studies, and he will recite the price outside in front of him. So he also knew that a piece of brocade would cost hundreds of liang of silver. His robe is made by both the gold brocade fabric and the embroiderer of the house of internal affairs. It will cost tens of liang of silver on the market. Though he had worn the robe several times, he saw that it was Seventy-eight percent new. No matter how, it can't be worth only 300 Wen.
Xuange'er can't help thinking of youge'er's saying that this pawnshop is the darkest. Even if it's a good thing, they use the ragged price. Don't pawnshop unless you can't sell it elsewhere.
Think of here, Xuan elder brother son Yang way: "I am not right."
"Five hundred Wen," he said
Even if the worship is added to one or two silver, brother Xuan is not right. Holding clothes out of pawnshop, went to the largest ready to wear shop.
Weaving gold and brocade are all gongsatin, few of them are scattered among the people. The shopkeeper took the clothes and looked at brother Xuan suspiciously.
Xuange'er said frankly, "my family is in the capital city. This time, I went to visit my friends in Sichuan with my teacher. I didn't expect to meet the villain, but we stole the money and the cars and horses. We have gone to the government to report the case. If you don't believe it, you can go to the government to inquire. "
Although I don't have an identity, it's expensive to wear such good clothes. Moreover, brother Xuan's words and deeds are not ordinary people's young masters. The shopkeeper wanted to make a good fortune, so he didn't press the price. He bought the clothes with ten Liang silver.
With the experience of being stolen, brother Xuan will be very cautious. Take out a silver or two to buy food, oil, salt and other necessities. The rest of the silver is hidden.
Passing by the butcher's stall, brother Xuan can't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. He hasn't eaten meat for half a month. One didn't resist. Brother Xuan bought two Jin of pork.
"The pawnbroker gave ten liang of silver?" Which pawnshop is so kind.
Xuange'er shook his head and said, "the pawnshop only wants to give me one or two silver. I didn't do it. I went to the ready-made clothes shop and sold my clothes."
It seems that these losses have not been wasted. No, they have finally made progress.
See Xuan elder brother son hand silver to oneself, Pang Jinglun shakes his head and says: "silver you take!"! There is no charcoal or firewood. You can buy some after dinner. "
He took a silver or two and handed the rest to Pang Jinglun: "I'll ask you again when I'm out of money." I'm afraid it will be stolen by the thief again.
Pang Jinglun did not have any affectation either. He took the silver and said, "hurry to cook!" Although I ate two steamed buns and one egg in the morning, I was still hungry!
Brother Xuan doesn't know how to cook. He just throws the vegetables into the pot and puts water in it. When it's boiled, it's ready.
If you don't say you eat the meat cooked in water and oil, brother Xuan won't even look at it. But now, smelling the smell of meat, he swallowed several times.
He took a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. He chewed it, and tears rolled down.
