It turns out that after the people in Liang's village made trouble that day, although Chen's husband and wife agreed to take good care of Chen Jing under the pressure of the old village head, they couldn't stand the repeated calculation of Liang Xiucai's mother Guo!
In fact, Chen and his wife were stupid. They knew that the incident was so big that they didn't know how to control it. As a result, they heard that Guo was willing to pay sixty-two taels of silver to buy Chen Jing to serve her daughter. When Chen Jing learned the news, she naturally refused, but they couldn't bear to force each other for several times, so Chen Jing committed suicide.
The old village head soon received the news and knew the whole story when he asked someone. So he came to Chen and his wife angrily and scolded them. However, he was very sad to see that Chen Jing had no idea of survival!
Back home, it's still Wang's idea to let Chen Jing sell herself to the Luo family. Anyway, if she continues to stay in the Chen family, the Chen couple may not treat her well. Life is more difficult than before.
The reason why Wang mentions Luo Qiuyun is that no one in the whole village can afford to buy a servant girl except the Luo family.
Of course, even if they can afford it, no one is willing to buy a cousin of the same clan to serve them.
After listening to the old village head's explanation, Luo Qiuyun knew that he was not good enough to refuse again. He secretly said: at least it's a human life. He didn't say no to spend tens of taels of silver to buy it, so buy it!
He made up his mind, but Luo Qiuyun didn't let it go immediately. No matter what, his own interests still have to be defended. After all, human feelings belong to human feelings. If you spend money, it should be worth it.
Luo Qiuyun walked up to Chen Jing and said to her, "would you like to sell yourself to my house? From now on, no betrayal? "
"If you are willing, I can buy you. Of course, our brothers and sisters will not treat you badly when you enter our Luo family." Luo Qiuyun said this, in fact, is to let the other party think about it, don't say it's her and the old village head who forced her.
"I will." Chen Jing has heard many people mention Luo Qiuyun's sister and brother before. Although she moved here not long ago, she is the richest family in the village. As soon as she saw that they had just come to buy a house and land, she knew that there was another Wang saying good things. Chen Jing has a very good impression on Luo's sister and brother.
"Well, village head, let's make a contract. I want to make a statement in advance. Since Chen Jing has sold herself to our Luo family, she will be a member of our Luo family in the future. No matter who is in the Chen family, you have no right to come to see her as her elder. What do you think of the village head?" Luo Qiuyun said.
"Yes." The old village head knew that she was trying to prevent Chen and his wife from making trouble at home. After thinking about it, he finally agreed.
In fact, he didn't want to sell himself as a slave, but he had to watch Chen Jing be forced to die. As an elder, the most enlightened point of the old village head was that he wanted to make a man.
If they change to other villages or elders, they would rather have Chen Jing forced to death than let her become an outsider's maid.
It's Chen Jing's luck. She should not die! I happen to have an elder like the old village head, and I happen to meet Luo Qiuyun
"Tianli, go to your study to get ink, paper and inkstone, and then write them in. Does the village head have any opinions?" Luo Qiuyun asked.
The old village chief paused for a moment, sighed heavily and said, "write it."
Luo Qiuyun ignored the helpless old village head and began to write. The form was almost the same as the template of house deed and land deed. It was made in triplicate, with the Luo family, the old village head and Chen Jing holding one copy each.
After a series of actions, such as signing, drawing, and giving money, no one delayed. After that, Chen Jing became a member of the Luo family.
After selling herself, Chen Jing doesn't want to have any trouble with the Chen family, so the money for selling herself is brought back by the village head.
Knowing that Chen Jing was very disappointed with the couple, the old village head agreed to her request and left in silence.
Seeing the old village head leave, Chen Jing has been very calm. Luo Qiuyun knows that she is very upset, but she doesn't say much. She just asks her to clean up her room first, and then take care of the hygiene and food at home. If Luo Qiuyun is not free, take Luo Tianxiang
One day, Luo Qiuyun got up early in the morning and left Luo Tianxiang to Chen Jing to take care of him. He took Luo Tianli to the town.
With a lot of gifts in hand, some of them are home-made food, and two liang silver is the "tuition fee" for going to school. I came outside the school to see my master. It is said that the old man in this town used to be a senior official, but later he didn't know who he had offended and was dismissed, so he came here to set up a school to teach and educate people
Luo Qiuyun, Luo Tianli and other small stone biography, not long after he came out, "are you going to school?" The old man pointed to Luo Tianli and asked.
"Yes, master." Luo Tianli's answer is very regular, because Luo Qiuyun taught him in advance.
"Eh," the master didn't seem to think that Luo Tianli would react like this, but he was curious. "Yes, he's a good seedling. I don't know how to understand. Well, you stay first. If you learn well, you stay. If you are lazy and don't learn well, you pack up your things and go home.""Thank you, master. Students should bear in mind the teacher's instruction and study diligently in the future. They should not cheat and cheat, and strive for success in the examination as soon as possible." Luo Tianli.
"Well, that's what you said. Since you want to be famous, you should make persistent efforts in the future. Come in with me." Master, I agree to accept Luo Tianli.
Luo Qiuyun gives gifts and silver to each other, and goes back ahead of time before Luo Tianli finishes school.
On the other hand, Luo Tianli went to school with master because it was his first day. According to the Convention, master would arrange seats only after an investigation. However, after this investigation, because of his excellent performance, master accepted him as an entry-level disciple on the spot and envied many other people.
Luo Tianli didn't think it would be like this, and he was very happy. He came back that day and told Luo Qiuyun the whole story. After listening to it, Luo Qiuyun seemed to have guessed it would be like this. He didn't have a big reaction. He just told him not to be proud, so what to do.
Seeing this, Luo Tianli was somewhat disappointed. However, knowing Luo Qiuyun's temperament, he soon figured it out and worked harder.
In a few days, Luo Qiuyun began to work hard for spring ploughing. There were too few people in his family. In addition, Luo Tianli had to go to school every day, and those dry lands in the back mountain could only be planted by people.
However, because it's spring ploughing, most people in the village are busy with their own fields, and there are few people available. Therefore, Luo Qiuyun didn't find a few people at the beginning. Later, he heard that the salary offered by the Luo family is high, and some days are more difficult. He came to help with the idea of making a few money first, and then busy with his own work, and the Luo family became the first one to plant good land in the village.
Unlike other people's families, Luo Qiuyun planted most of his land with corn and wheat, while the rest was planted in the corn and wheat fields, planting some low crops such as peanuts, sesame, red beans and mung beans, in order to make full use of the land.
After paying the last sum of money, Luo Qiuyun finds that he has only two liang of silver left in his hand. If he wants to keep those silver notes and gold in urgent need in the future, he is a poor man worthy of the name.
"It seems that we have to work hard to find a way. How can we make money?" Luo Qiuyun thought for a long time to find a good decision.
The next day, early in the morning, Luo Qiuyun went to the town and bought ten jin of pork and a lot of materials needed to make stewed meat. On that day, he began to make stewed meat.
Specific steps, Luo Qiuyun remember is not very firm, after she tried several times to make the best sauce.
After the marinated meat, the fragrance drifts far away, attracting all the neighbors around.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Wang is familiar with Luo Qiuyun, so although the visitors are very curious, she is the first one to speak.
"It's a family secret to make stewed meat. What does my sister-in-law think? I'm going to sell it in town, don't you think? " Luo Qiuyun said, while holding a piece of stewed pork to feed her.
"Well, yummy, yummy, you want to sell it in town?" Wang thought about it and said, "this stewed meat is good. As for whether it can be done or not, I haven't tried it. You can try it."
"Come on, listen to my sister-in-law." Luo Qiuyun said with a smile, first put away the marinade, and then according to the visitors each point of marinated meat to the villagers back.
Knowing that Luo Qiuyun wants to sell these foods, no one has ever thought of a secret recipe. However, many villagers admire Luo Qiuyun's ability as soon as this stewed meat comes out.
Luo Qiuyun wants to sell. That evening, Luo Tianli comes back from the school and learns about it. He also wants to help, so he asks Luo Qiuyun to prepare a dozen or so portions of marinated meat for him and bring it back to the school tomorrow.
"Tianli, is your method feasible? Will it affect you? " Although Luo Qiuyun knows that Luo Tianli's idea is good, the ancient scholars are all fake, noble and so on. If they know that Luo Tianli's idea will hinder their reputation in the future, they are worried.
Knowing what she was thinking, Luo Tianli shook her head and said, "it's OK, elder sister. I'm not stupid enough to say it myself. You wait for my good news. If it doesn't work, let's go to the town to find a restaurant to sell." In this way, Luo Tianli is not a stupid person. He knows how to be vain.
When Luo Qiuyun saw this, he agreed with him. As a result, because of this, the school didn't calm down for a long time. Even the master was conquered by the stewed meat. Regardless of his identity, he asked Luo Tianli for help, and some students who were close to Luo Tianli were even worse.
One of them, Shen San, is a direct son of the Shen family, a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. His mother is a noble daughter of the Hou family in Beijing. Unfortunately, in her early years, because she was too young to be sensible, she was abandoned to a small county by her family.
His friendship with Luo Tianli is a result of fighting. Before Luo Tianli came to the school, he was valued by his master, and Shen Dashao hated such people most. One day after school, he led several students to block Luo Tianli at the intersection, but Luo Tianli totally killed him.
Because of this, Luo Tianli also worried for a night, for fear that the other party's hatred would bring disaster to his family. As a result, Shen sanshao came back the next day. Instead of hating him, Shen sanshao wanted to make friends with Luo Tianli.
