Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 102 Whose youth is unassuming

"That's right, it's not cheap. If you really want it, you can negotiate the price with them at that time, and you should be able to negotiate a little bit more. You said that if you go to Xiangyang like this, the travel expenses along the way will be silver, and they will always want less." some."

Mrs. Xu continued to echo, saying that she is a good bargainer.

There is still room for price reduction, which is great!Good!
"Auntie, do we want to buy it, and we can go there to complete the formalities at any time?"

Qin Shao asked.

"That's natural. I have the greeting card of my best friend here. Whenever you want to go there, you can find her. The old body has already brought it for you! It's just that this place is really...you can't buy it after you think about it." Late!"

When Xu Yapo issued the greeting card, she still felt that Qin Shao bought those useless wastelands inconceivably.

Qin Shao took the invitation and thanked Mrs. Xu repeatedly.

Han Jinrong went to pick up two marinated chickens and wrapped them up for Mrs. Xu as a gift in return.

Chicken is not expensive, but salt is not cheap these days, and ordinary people are rarely willing to make marinated chicken, so this thing naturally becomes precious.

Seeing their generosity, Mrs. Xu was very happy, and went home happily with the chicken.

Qin Shao looked at the greeting post, which not only had the name, but also the specific contact address, and the introducer in the middle, etc., which was very detailed.

"Master, do you really want to buy that piece of land?"

Han Jinrong had already heard what Mrs. Xu said.

"Well, do you have enough money at home?"

"Of course it is enough. After we bought the house earlier, we still have more than 20 taels after various purchases. The county school rewarded 200 taels for the government trial case, 35 taels of silver rewards from Xingwang's mansion, and [-] taels for the sweet potato harvest. All of them are saved. Let's go!"

"I went to the pharmacy two days ago to inquire about the ginseng and cordyceps given by King Xing's Mansion. They can be sold for 70 taels. If you need more money, we can sell them as an emergency."

Han Jinrong said.

"Where is the money spent on these daily expenses at home?"

Qin Shao asked with some confusion.

All the income he knew seemed to be saved.

"My lord, you may have forgotten that the 30 taels of silver you rewarded for protecting the city is now covering the family's expenses, and the money that the third son gave to the family and the money that Brother Wang gave to the family are still sufficient!"

Han Jinrong smiled.

Qin Shao thinks about it too. In Daming, apart from the higher cost of buying a house and land, other daily expenses are not much spent.

I can’t finish all the vegetables and grain I grow. There are still a lot of rice, corn, and soybeans in the grain store that I haven’t bought. If they are sold out, there will be dozens of taels.

It's just that if this continues, they are just a well-off family. If they want to live a happy life and buy more land, they have to think about ways to make money.

He had to figure out how to arrange the salt land after he bought it after the Chinese New Year.

The year passed quickly. On New Year's Eve, Qin Shao and the others had a New Year's Eve dinner with Old Man Zhu.

On the first day of the new year, Qin Shao kowtowed to the old man Zhu. The old man Zhu was his teacher and the elder who cared about him most here. Qin Shao felt that it was right to kowtow to him.

I wish the old man also gave him lucky money.

Qin Shao also gave New Year's money to Han Jinrong, Wang Yin, and the third son.

Even though Wang Yin seemed to be one year older than Qin Shao, he was considered the head of the family, and they all paid simple salutes to him, so it was appropriate to give money.

Guanlu heard that the youngest son had given out the lucky money, so he hurriedly paid respects to Qin Shao, who gave him the lucky money that he had prepared earlier.

This year is basically over after the sixth day of the year.

Because there will be a college entrance examination in the next year, and as soon as the sixth day of junior high school is over, the old man Zhu will start to supervise Qin Shao's study.

Every morning, Qin Shao would recite scriptures silently, compose an essay, and compose a poem.

The first two items are not a problem. He has become a bit more proficient in composing poetry, but it is still a little difficult.

Just after class that day, I saw Han Jinrong entering Old Man Zhu's yard and looking towards the study.

He hurriedly packed up his things and went out.

"Is there a problem?"

If it's not something urgent, Han Jinrong usually won't come to the study to bother her, she always attaches great importance to his study.

"Master, I'm going to go to Baibing tomorrow. I want to go to the street to buy incense. There are too many people and I have to queue up. We have to go early. Brother Wang is going to the field. The third son wants to accompany me to the street. There is no one at home. I will come with you." Say it, the rice is already warm in the pot."

Han Jinrong said softly.

"Take all kinds of diseases?"

What the hell is walking all kinds of diseases?Why didn't he know? Qin Shao didn't understand.

In the previous life, the Spring Festival usually only had a seven-day holiday, and ordinary office workers started to go to work on the eighth day of the lunar new year.

Compared with that era, except for scholars like Qin Shao who had to study hard for the scientific examination, the officials and common people in the Ming Dynasty had a rather long Spring Festival holiday.

During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the Spring Festival holiday and the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival) holiday were combined.

From the 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the [-]th of the first lunar month are holidays, which is really cool.

And the Lantern Festival, which was deserted in the previous life, is considered the most lively festival here, even more grand than New Year's Eve.

Because there are various activities such as lantern festivals on this day, this activity is still continued from Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is getting more and more lively every year.

Previously, the Lantern Festival activities in the past two years were canceled because of the thieves and bandits!

Now that peace is slowly returning, the Lantern Festival jointly held by the state government and the county government is very lively. Qin Shao has also heard about it, but he is not very interested in such lively things, so he didn't understand it in detail.

The third son and Han Jinrong were very excited. They had planned to watch the Lantern Festival a few days ago.

It's just that Qin Shao has never heard of any activities to cure all kinds of diseases.

He had never heard of this custom in the area where he lived in his previous life.

After listening to Han Jinrong's explanation, he realized that this kind of activity is quite popular in Anlu Prefecture and the southern region, and is most popular with women.

On this day, women who usually don't go out of the boudoir will also go out to participate in the sickness activities, and almost all the women in the city are dispatched.

As night falls, under the starry night, holding burning incense, crossing bridges and worshiping temples, it is said that all diseases can be eliminated, so it is also called "all diseases".

Qin Shao had a general understanding of the situation, and told Han Jinrong and the others to just go shopping and pay attention to safety.

I went back to the study and chatted with the old man Zhu, who also said that he would also participate in the sickness activity tomorrow night.

"Isn't it an event for women? What are you going to do?"

Qin Shao laughed.

"You stupid goose! Since women participate in activities, men are naturally indispensable! All the beauties in the city are out of the city, won't they attract young men?"

"You are already 19 years old, you don't even understand this, how do you find your favorite... Forget it, you already have an unmarried wife, I say you stupid goose is not as smart as your unmarried wife, I can assure you , she will definitely go to the Geely Bridge to pray for your early and smooth marriage, and also touch the nail door... Forget it, you are not married yet, that will naturally have to wait later..."

I wish the old man rambling.

He also knew the situation of Qin Shao and Han Jinrong, of course, those situations were all said by Qin Shao.

As I said on the way to escape, Han Jinrong is my fiancée, but she got separated from her old family during the riots, and her relatives died.

However, there are still parents in Shangjing, and they will send Han Jinrong to Shangjing when they settle down, and then the elders of the family will decide, and the two can get married.

It is said that unmarried men and women should not live together like them even if they are engaged, but under special circumstances, many people can understand that, after all, they have just passed through the chaos, so naturally they are not so particular about special circumstances.

Qin Shao was able to escort his betrothed to escape all the way in distress, if it were to be told, it would be a very benevolent story.

Hearing the old man Zhu's words, Qin Shao couldn't help but laugh.

This old boy is considered one of the four talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is on good terms with Tang Bohu, who is wild and unrestrained.

This Zhu old man guessed that he followed Tang Bohu and the others to do some romantic things on the Qinhuai River.

"Master, when you and your best friend Tang Yin were young, during the Lantern Festival (also called the Lantern Festival), you must have been peeping at that beautiful girl!"

Qin Shao jokingly wished the old man.

"That's natural. I think back when we were in Wuzhong..."

It is rare for the old man to recall his youthful years with a smile on his lips, his plain face exudes a strange brilliance.

Whose youth is not flamboyant!
