Chapter 90 The Sad Reminder Zhang Haoxuan!
Stealing money?
If you love yourself for 2000 taels of silver, you can only buy ten bolts of fabric?

Li Xiao was a little confused.

This cloth is too expensive.

What is the concept of 200 taels?
I used to be a farmer, guarding three acres of Susukida.

In addition to supporting myself, if I go out to do odd jobs, I can only save two or two taels of silver throughout the year.

It's too thin to eat every meal, but it's too thick to eat.

This is still when the situation is good and the harvest is good.

If there is an additional person in the family, and there are some natural and man-made disasters, I am afraid that I will become a tenant or a refugee.

No wonder it is said that those who are all over the body are not silkworm farmers.

The ancients did not deceive me!
Li Xiao asked weakly: "How much is the cheapest cloth?"

This kid can't be pretending to be rich, right? He doesn't look like a poor man in his clothes. The guy looked at Li Xiao suspiciously: "Our store doesn't sell cheap goods."

"It's okay, I'll just inquire about it." Li Xiao said.

The clerk frowned and said, "Turn left and walk two streets, go to the cloth store in Baodafang. The cheapest white cloth is five cents a piece, and it can be cut to size."

Li Xiao heaved a sigh of relief after learning about the prices in the Ming Dynasty.

Poor people can still afford clothes.
Fortunately, I have escaped from the stage of poverty.

"What, can it be less? My quantity is large."

Li Xiao intends to haggle the price, so he can save a little bit.

"Excuse me, sir, this shop does not bargain, even small ones can't help it."

The shop clerk looked sad.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Xiao waved his hand.

Although the shop assistant sells luxury fabrics, he himself wears sackcloth.

It seems that productivity was too low in ancient times, and the efforts of most people can only be enjoyed by a small group of people.

Fortunately, I am one of this small group of people.

Li Xiao didn't continue to embarrass him.

This kind of coral is ridiculously expensive. Although other cloths are expensive, they are also good.

After some selection, I bought two pieces of the most expensive coral Baoluo, five pieces of gold-woven silk, two pieces of double-faced swan velvet, five pieces of purple and white brocade, three pieces of high-quality velvet and three pieces of Gebu.

A total of 1000 bolts of cloth were bought and [-] taels of silver were spent.

Li Xiao paid 1000 taels of silver with heartache, and the guy almost smiled crookedly.

Because of the high-end route, the cloth in their shop is difficult to sell, and they need to take good care of their relationship.

He's an ordinary guy who has done such a big business, I'm afraid it will go up a liter
Li Xiao explained that he would send someone to pick up the goods tomorrow, and the store clerk thanked Dade for sending him out of the store.

Before leading him away, he looked far away and kept waving humbly. He waited for Li Xiao to disappear at the corner of the street before returning to the shop.

After Li Xiao bought the cloth.

Then he turned and walked towards the century-old brand—Jinfengluan Jewelry Shop.

This shop is the oldest and most famous shop in Beiping, and the craftsmen inside are also famous. When Li Xiao buys jewelry, he must buy the best.

Moreover, Jin Fengluan and himself are old acquaintances, and they won a lot of benefits from the lantern festival last time.

On the way, Li Xiao passed the Tongrentang Pharmacy.

On the door of the shop, there seemed to be a couplet, and the handwriting was engraved on a vertical plaque made of a very precious wood.

[I hope that no one is sick in the world, why worry about the dust on the shelf]
Li Xiao stopped to pay attention, looked at the plaque, and admired it quietly.

This is what I left behind, enough to be handed down for hundreds of generations, and it can be regarded as leaving a legacy for history.

Obviously, this couplet is very attractive.

Li Xiao stopped for a while, and a few students who looked like students passed by, also stopped and pointed to the couplet plaque.

"Look, that's the couplet written by the blockbuster talent at the Fengluan Lantern Festival that day."

Several other people looked over one after another, and one of them praised: "I hope there will be no disease in the world, why worry about putting medicine on the shelf to make dust, that's right! Wonderful! Although the words are simple, they give people a feeling of peace of mind." , I can feel the kindness of the shop owner.”

Although it was still spring, another student in a blue shirt spread out his fan and said:

"Isn't it? Take a look at the business of Tongrentang. It's because of this couplet that the business has improved. The 200 taels of silver are really worth it."

Another student sighed: "That's true, why worry about the dust on the medicine shelf, I see that the shop owner not only has no dust on the medicine shelf, but also has a prosperous business."

"This is the charm of this couplet. It can be seen that the person who makes the pair is really powerful and has something."

A student said, and after he finished speaking, he sighed again: "It's a pity that Zhang Haoxuan of our academy, originally passed the provincial examination to understand Yuan, and his future is very bright. It turned out."

Another fat student said:
"Yes, I heard that Zhang Haoxuan was convicted on the second day of the Lantern Festival."

"I don't know who offended him. His father is the magistrate of Dong'an County. He went to the Beiping County Government to mediate, but it didn't work."

"In the end, he was punished for the crime of arbitrarily framing, not to mention deprived of his fame, and slapped [-] times."

"I heard that the banban was played according to the facts. When I came out, I was unconscious and might be disabled for life."

The student holding the fan said: "It's a pity. It was originally Jieyuan's provincial examination, and he also met Huang Linyan, the second daughter of the prefect Huang, and ended up in this end."

"Hmph! It's not your own fault,"

The leading student snorted coldly and said:

"I was also present at the lantern festival that day, and I also stopped at the seventeenth step of guessing lantern riddles."

"The lantern riddle is really difficult. Except for the one who won the first prize, none of us can guess it."

"It's fine for Zhang Haoxuan to be domineering and domineering in the college on weekdays, but he is also in the college when he is outside?"

"He couldn't answer the lantern riddle, so he pulled us to make a fuss. We knew each other and knew that his father was the county magistrate, so we had no choice but to help the evildoers."

"Fortunately, that young master didn't pursue us that day, otherwise he would have been killed by Zhang Haoxuan!! It's a trivial matter to hit a few boards. If I am deprived of fame, wouldn't it be my life?"

The leading student became more and more angry as he talked, wishing he could beat Zhang Haoxuan.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it, and when the drum breaks, everyone beats it.

Now that people are in trouble, they don't show mercy at all.

"This guy Zhang Haoxuan opened his mouth for spreading rumors, he deserves what he deserves. Eh, you are hissing."

He spit flying all over the place, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Xiao.

Isn't this the young man from that day?
The student in the blue shirt turned pale all of a sudden, and hurriedly bowed 90 degrees to Li Xiao: "I've seen the talented Li Xiao."

The other students also understood the situation, and immediately bowed their hands to show their respect.

Li Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "How is that Zhang Haoxuan now?"

The student in Qingshan said respectfully: "I'm bedridden now, I guess I won't be able to walk normally in this life, and my fame is gone. I'm almost a useless person."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, and said: "You scholars, you should study for the sake of your family, the country, and the community. You must not just rely on some fame and fame to make trouble everywhere, you understand?"

Several students bowed one after another: "Follow the teachings, follow the teachings"

Li Xiao waved his hand: "Just know, let's go."

"Farewell. Farewell"

The students left immediately.

Li Xiao stroked his hair, pretending to be quite cool
At this time, the shopkeeper of Tongrentang, who was just about to go out, saw the original owner of the couplet standing outside the door, and was instantly excited.

"It's Mr. Li Xiao, please come in quickly!"
