Rebirth Jade Fate

Chapter 19 Saving Money
Wei Qingtong spread the paper on the kang table, muttering words and writing and drawing on it with a brush, while Wei Qingtong sat on the other side, poured all the money on the kang, and counted.

Because she had prepared rice grain until June, and Wei Qingtong's illness, and she didn't want to wrong Wei Qingtong and herself, she was very troublesome about eating, not to mention other things, two pig bones a day is a must Yes, so the more than 80 taels of silver sent by Nanny Qin has been used up, and there are only 14 taels and 68 taels left.

This is a lot for ordinary farmers. According to the information she got on Shili Street, ordinary families don't have so much silver in savings.

It's just that they are not ordinary people, no one knows whether Wei Qingtong will get sick again, and they are not as frugal as ordinary people, at least, they eat and drink much better than those small landlords.

The eggs laid by the pheasants in the space, the vegetables produced, and a pheasant is killed from time to time, and pork is bought about once every ten days... So there is a reason for the fat meat on Wei Qingtong's face.

She had to make money if she wanted to continue this life.

But now the snow hasn't melted yet, and she can't go up the mountain, Wei Qingzhen took a pen and listed what she had.

Vegetables cannot be sold, pheasants should be saved to lay eggs, and eggs should be saved to become chickens. Furniture is fine, but there are problems with handling, and there are rabbits.

There are people who raise rabbits, and there are also people who go to the mountains to hunt rabbits in winter, but the rabbits in her space are still small, and a rabbit is only about forty yuan. How many do you have to sell?

Wei Qingyu turned his head and thought, how can we sell the rabbit to the upper class, so that it will also raise the tide.

Wei Qingzhen stared at the fat and fat Bai Bai who was dozing off on the edge of the kang, and thought involuntarily: If you sell Bai Bai, maybe you can get about two hundred Wen.

Don't ask her why, except for Wei Qingtong, no one would be willing to hug a rabbit that is almost one-third the size of her own. Once the rabbit grows up, it will be ugly, and there is no way to find that agile feeling.

Wei Qingyu was particularly touched. Although this room is very big, according to her visual inspection, it must be about [-] square meters. The screen and other things have been taken away. The whole room is just a kang except chairs, stools and tables. Pretend to be a sister. There must be more than enough for the two brothers, but because of Bai Bai, what this rabbit likes to do is wrap around people's feet, and the space suddenly becomes narrow.

The unloving Wei Qingyu wanted to kick it outside several times.

Wait, Wei Qingyu rolled his eyes, the big rabbit doesn't like it, what about the little rabbit?
Wei Qingzhen squatted in the space, holding a little rabbit in his hand. This litter of rabbits was born less than 20 days ago, and they are white and tender, which is in line with the public's aesthetics.

Wei Qingyu smiled, put hay on the basket, grabbed three little white rabbits and went in, when Wei Qingyu appeared on the kang again, he was holding a basket in his hand.

Wei Qingtong just finished the writing task that Wei Qingyu gave him, his eyes lit up when he saw it, and he crawled over to tease them, "Sister, sister, I want to play too."

"Okay, but not now," Wei Qingyu took out a piece of cloth and put it on the basket, and said, "Let's go out and play, and then you can hug a little white rabbit, okay?"

Wei Qingtong turned back to look for Bai Bai, ran over and hugged Bai Bai with difficulty, and said: "I want to hug my Bai Bai."

Then no one would buy rabbits.The corner of Wei Qingyu's mouth twitched as he looked at Bai Bai's plump appearance, and said, "Bai Bai stays at home to watch the house."

Bai Bai turned his head a little aggrieved, since it has not been out of the house since the beginning of winter.

Wei Qingzhen narrowed his eyes, "Otherwise, start losing weight today."

Wei Qingtong looked at her sister in confusion.

Wei Qingyu kindly explained: "From today onwards, we will run around the yard ten times without eating. Of course, we are not allowed to eat grass in vain."

Wei Qingtong opened his mouth wide, isn't that very pitiful?I looked down at Baibai, and finally let it go with regret.

Just after the seventh day of the lunar new year, there were more and more people setting up stalls on the street, but there was no young lady from a wealthy family she was looking for, but she knew that there must be one place, that is, the southeast direction of Nanfang, where is The gathering place of the academy, after the seventh day, the children will go back to the academy to go to school.

After passing Shuyuan Road, turn inward, and the two largest academies are there. A small number of those who go to school there are poor children with excellent grades, and the rest are either rich or noble.

Wei Qingtong took Wei Qingtong's hand, stopped not far from the academy, and took a rabbit out of the basket for Wei Qingtong to hug.

A pink and cute pink and cute golden boy is holding a little white rabbit, which is indeed very pleasing to the eye.

Several children have already looked over here.

Wei Qingyu took out another handful of grass and gave it to Wei Qingtong, asking him to feed it.

Children in ancient times seemed to be very reserved. She performed for a long time. Although they watched eagerly, they didn't come forward to ask the price. Could it be that she was not obvious enough?Do you want to shout loudly?
It’s just that everyone in Academy Street has always had a tacit understanding of not selling, because they are afraid of affecting the children in the academy. She has also been here a few times, and she still understands these rules.

Wei Qingzhen was a little hesitant, otherwise, she should ask them if they want to buy it, the child has a thin skin.

Just as she was about to leave, there was a seven or eight-year-old child over there with his book boy, standing in front of Wei Qingzhen, a little taller than Wei Qingzhen, he raised his head and took a quick look at Wei Qingzhen, then twisted embarrassedly Overhead.

Wei Qingyu looked at him curiously.

The book boy coughed, and said slightly unnaturally: "Well, my young master would like to ask where did you buy your brother's rabbit?"

The people around also raised their ears.

"The rabbits are raised by my family." Wei Qingyu paused, lifted the cloth on the basket, and revealed a corner: "I have two more here, do you want to buy them?"

"You sell rabbits," the book boy was slightly displeased, "Then why don't you show them? It makes me ask you for nothing."

How did Wei Qingyu know that they didn't know, "I'm just here to sell rabbits."

The book boy still complained, but his son waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's ask the price of the rabbit first."

Wei Qingyu didn't need the book boy to convey it any further, and replied directly: "One tael of silver."

Before the young master said anything, the book boy jumped up first and said, "A tael of silver? Are you robbing? Is it so expensive to use a rabbit?"

Wei Qingzhen's old face was slightly red, and he hesitated: "How about I give you some green grass for feeding, these are all grown by my family..."

"That can't be done," the book boy said with his neck raised high, "How long can you eat with just one or two handfuls of grass? At least, at least five handfuls."

Wei Qingyu blinked, looked at the boy's stern look on the outside, and secretly spurned himself for a while. It was also a guilty conscience to be fooled by a child.

After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, five is five."

The book boy is a young master who follows the young master. Although he is a servant, he is also like a young master who is not in the world. But he has a comparative concept, that is, his monthly silver is two taels of silver. The rabbit is his silver for half a month, so he has to get some more things for the young master to be worth it.

The young master watched eagerly, and the book boy had no choice but to pay for it.

As soon as the two children took the rabbit, they looked around it with smiles, and the book boy teased it with grass, "Master, you see, it can't eat it even if it wants to eat it."

The young master snatched the grass, "Eat these things sparingly, otherwise what will happen if you don't turn around?" But he kept feeding it himself.

Wei Qingyu said: "If the grass is finished, you can feed the rabbit green vegetables, or you can feed it radish, and bathe it with warm water every day... If you still want to feed it grass, you can buy it from me for one penny and two taels." Bundle……"

Seeing that someone bought it over there, he quickly gathered around and looked at the only rabbit in the basket.

"Is this one for sale too? I want it."

"I want too..." the child drowned in the crowd said weakly.

Wei Qingyu held the rabbit in his hand and gave it to the child who spoke first, but kept holding Wei Qingtong's hand with his left hand, and said with a smile, "It's also a tael of silver, and I'll give you five handfuls of grass too, okay?"

Wei Qingyu hugged the one in Wei Qingtong's arms, and said, "This one is also sold."

Others were concerned with another question, "Do you still have rabbits at home?"

"Yes, but they are all a bit bigger, but they are also very cute."

"Are you still coming tomorrow..."

After making an appointment with everyone to sell rabbits tomorrow, Wei Qingzhen came out holding Wei Qingtong's hand.

Several house slaves watched Wei Qingyu leave, and looked for their young master again. They have long been familiar with such things. Someone always brings new things to sell to the young masters. As long as it is not too much, they will not Interfering.

Wei Qingtong didn't want to leave Shuyuan Road, but dragged her sister and pointed in another direction: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei is over there."

Xiao Hei is the son of the owner of the grain shop on Shili Street. He is only five years old this year. Of course, his false age is seven.

"where?"

"Over there," Wei Qingtong pulled her sister over to look.

The two of them stopped in front of a locust tree. It was a small courtyard with the door ajar, and the sound of a child reading a book could be heard from inside.

How long has it been since you heard this most familiar voice?

Wei Qingyu was in a trance, but Wei Qingtong broke free from her sister's hand, quickly and cheerfully pushed them away and ran in, so fast that Wei Qingyu only had time to touch a corner of the clothes.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei," Wei Qingtong rushed in.

Wei Qingyu looked at his hands with his mouth half open, and heard the sound of reading inside, as if the tape recorder was turned off due to a sudden power failure, and stopped neatly.

Wei Qingyu closed his eyes and walked into the opened door.

The gentleman held his hand and looked at Wei Qingtong with displeasure.

Wei Qingtong didn't realize it, and ran to Xiao Hei and looked at him with a smile on his face, "Why are you here? I couldn't see you even when I went to play with you."

Xiao Hei was also very happy to meet Brother Tong, but he didn't say anything in the future, and there were surprise voices around him one after another, and several partners from Shili Street ran over to surround Wei Qingtong.
