Nongmen Granny's Road to Destiny Chapter 270 Picking up the cheap Zhulan, she shook the silver note in her hand, "Tell me, before, why didn't I feel that counting the notes was so exciting, now it's better, four One thousand five hundred taels of silver notes, I don't think it's enough if I count it twice!"
Zhou Shuren hit the nail on the head, "That's because you haven't suffered from poverty since you were a child."
Whether in modern times or in ancient times, he likes the feeling of counting bills, especially the feeling of saving money is very good.
After thinking about it, Zhu Lan went up to the kang with the box in her arms, and pulled out the banknotes from her family, "There are more than 5,000 taels at home, when are we going to the capital!"
Zhou Shuren made a plan: "Wait until the government test is over."
Zhulan put all the money and locked it up, "Counting the days, in a few days, the people from the clan who came to participate in the government exam should come."
"Yeah, this year, including Chang Lian and Changzhi, four people passed the county test, which is a good sign."
This time, only Chang Lian and Chang Zhi were from the Chang character generation, and the other two were from the Ming character generation, and the next generation also rose.
The Zhou family got a sum of money, and Zhou Shuren and Zhulan were not prepared to say that, even if there were rumors outside, Chang Lian and Changzhi were still out of touch, and the Zhou family brothers did not know what their father had done!
The brothers of the Zhou family only know that many people have come to visit recently, including businessmen, and some scholars. is near.
The two families had more contacts, and Zhulan followed Zhou Shuren to visit the He family.
He Juren's house is not big, and it is also a two-entry house. The location is better than Zhou's. Because He Juren likes antiques, there are a lot of antiques at home.
It's just that Mrs. He, Zhulan doesn't like it very much. Mrs. He is from an official family, and she is full of arrogance. She is very picky about Zhulan, and she speaks yin and yang. Sometimes she speaks like an order. not anymore.
Zhou Shuren also only associates with He Juren and no longer visits the door.
After the heat brought by Zhou Shuren passed, the Zhou family was quieter.
The Qian family came to the door again. This time Qian Shengbao brought his eldest son. Zhu Lan and the others left and asked, "Is it still a matter of enrolling for my grandson?"
Zhou Shuren nodded, "The admission of my grandson is one of them, and the second is that the Qian family also knows the news of my competition. The Qian family still has a few paintings and calligraphy in their hands. I hope I can help identify them."
Zhulan caught the point all at once, "Qian Shengbao knows that Mr. Xi Heng's calligraphy and paintings are valuable now, even if they are fake, there are people who ask for them again. Then use calligraphy and painting to study for Sun Tzu's academy?"
Zhou Shuren added: "I also want to use me to connect people. Recently, many people have asked me if I still have calligraphy and painting. Why the Qian family didn't come a few days ago, it's all calculated."
He doesn't like being tricked very much, especially when Qian Shengbao cheated on him once, but he didn't get it last time, and this time he wanted to get a bargain behind his back.
Zhulan curled her lips, "The Qian family has a lot of antiques, and we don't want much in return, just one antique."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "I think so too."
The Qian family dared to come and pick up the bargain, so don't blame him for it.
The next day, Zhulan was curious, she hadn't been to the Qian's house yet, and followed Zhou Shuren to the Qian's house in the carriage that the Qian's house came to pick up.
The Qian family is also the Yue family of the second child of Zhou, and Zhou Shuren also brought the second child of Zhou.
Ten miles out of the prefecture, the road is not so smooth. There are many villages in Qianjia Village. Zhulan found that Qianjia Village is a rich village, and many of the houses are made of blue bricks.
Qian Shengbao was waiting at the door, Zhou Shuren helped Zhu Lan to get off the carriage, Qian Shengbao was stunned for a while, but quickly returned to normal and stepped forward, "My mother, my mother has worked hard all the way, please come inside."
Zhou Shuren said, "You're welcome."
Zhulan followed into the Qian family's house. The big house was not small. The Qian family had worked as a slave in the big family, and they didn't like the farmer's house. The house was built similar to the house in the city.
In the main courtyard where Zhulan went all the way, Mrs Fang did not know that Zhulan was also following her. She stood in the courtyard for a while, and hurriedly put down the pot in her hand and wiped her hands, "My mother is here, please come inside."
Zhulan followed Fang into the room, Zhulan sat down, and Fang said, "My mother sits first, and I'll come over to make tea."
Zhulan was indeed thirsty, "I'm going to trouble my mother."
Mrs Fang was happy that Mrs Yang could come, "No trouble, no trouble."
Zhulan looked at the house. The house was clean and tidy, the floor was paved with bluestone, the cabinets were all made of good wood, and there were needles and threads used by Mr. Fang to make clothes on the kang.
After waiting for a while, Mrs. Fang came back. Zhulan listened to the movement. Mrs. Fang also made a pot of tea outside. If you bully again, you won't be able to wait in front of you. When you come to the house, you still have to rely on Mrs. Fang to keep busy.
Mr. Fang came in with tea and snacks, "My cooking skills are not very good. The snacks are bought in the city by the owner. Ruyi's desserts are very popular in the city. My mother will try them."
Zhulan was indeed a little hungry, "My mother is humble, my cooking skills are really bad."
At least Mr. Fang can cook a table of dishes, but she can't.
Mrs Fang smiled, she knew that her daughter told her that Mrs Yang's cooking skills were really poor.
The curtains in the room opened again, and a boy over three years old came in, "Mother, father asked me to meet my aunt."
Mrs Fang took her son and introduced him, "This is my youngest son, Qian Shunqing."
Zhu Lan looked at the little boy. He looked like Mrs. Fang, and he was quite aggressive. Well, the name is not bad. At least it's not tacky.
The one or two silver coins in the bamboo orchid in the purse were specially prepared when they came.
The little guy took the purse. It was probably the first time he had received a gift. He smiled and thanked him happily, "Thank you, Auntie."
Mr. Fang motioned for his son to go out first, and waited for his son to walk away: "This kid is enlightening with his nephews in the front yard."
Zhulan didn't ask why only Qian Shunqing came to see her, thinking that Mr. Qian stopped him, "Is there a gentleman at home?"
Fang Shi nodded, "You can't invite Xiucai, but Lao Tongsheng."
Zhu Lan smiled Qian Shengbao really wanted to send his grandchildren to private schools, but he was enlightened at home, and he wanted to send them to academies!
The subsequent topic was dominated by Mr. Fang. Mrs. Fang was reluctant to talk about her past or her days in the Qian family. She was happy to hear about her daughter and granddaughter.
Zhulan is also happy that she doesn't need to find a topic to chat, she likes children, Yushuang and Mingrui, she does not take less, the children have a lot of fun.
Don't look at Yushuang's quiet writing, this girl has a lot of heart, and she has a lot of pitfalls. Mingteng is still stupid. Sister Yushuang is the best.
At noon, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren stayed for the meal. At Zhulan’s table, there were only Zhulan and Fang Shi. When the meal was set, Zhulan also saw the daughters-in-law of the Qian family. Lord, my eyes have been rolling around, I tried several times with Mr. Fang to stay, and it is estimated that Mr. Fang won't stay if he gets Qian Shengbao.
Zhu Lan was at ease, and the two of them could eat more freely. The Qian family was indeed rich, with twelve dishes, including goose, sheep, and roe deer meat.
Seeing that Zhulan eats a lot of goose, Mrs. Fang said, "My mother likes goose?"
