There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 488 Honor Your Mother, No matter how expensive you are

Wear it casually?

This son, he started prodigal when he regained his memory?

"Huh?" Li Jiaoniang's face darkened, "Five hundred guan is too cheap? How dare you say it! Do you know how important five hundred guan is to an ordinary person?"

Zhao Cong was taken aback, "Of course I remember."

Li Jiaoniang looked at him, "Tell me the latest prices, rice, white flour, oil, eggs, beef, cloth, and so on."

Zhao Cong then said, "polished rice costs eight cents a catty, brown rice costs five cents a catty, fine flour costs eight cents a catty, gray flour costs five cents a catty, an egg costs two cents a catty, and beef costs eighty cents a catty. Fine cloth is fifty cents a catty." A foot, rough linen thirty cents a foot."

Li Jiaoniang praised secretly, yes, good memory, exactly the prices in the market this morning.

"Then tell me, how many catties of rice can you buy with this five hundred guan?"

Zhao Cong squeezed his fingers and calculated silently in his heart.

After a while, he said, "If you buy polished rice, you can buy 6 catties; if you buy brown rice, you can buy [-] catties."

Li Jiaoniang said again, "So, if it's a family of four, how long will the rice last for them?"

Zhao Cong pinched his fingers again and calculated silently, "If they eat about 83 catties of rice a month, they can eat polished rice for 170 months, [-] three years?"

He was surprised.

Because, he has never calculated so carefully before!

Li Jiaoniang said, "I still eat polished rice, and I eat every meal. What if it's brown rice? If it's a poor family, what about the kind that only eats porridge with wild vegetables? It can't eat three to five catties of rice in a month." That kind of family can eat for several generations, right?"

Zhao Cong said ashamedly, "It can indeed eat several generations."

"Cong'er, then, are you still saying that the five-hundred-coin pearl face can be worn casually for fun? Are you still saying it's too cheap?" Li Jiaoniang sighed,
"Here you tell me that even [-] Guan's face is very cheap, you can wear it casually, throw it away if you don't like it, we won't say anything, we just treat you as a joke, but in Lin'an City, But don’t say that, it will cause trouble.”

Zhao Cong took a deep breath.

Li Jiaoniang's thoughts are so meticulous!

Farther than he thought!
It's just hateful, she's not his own mother.

Zhao Cong said gratefully, "Mother, don't worry, when I return to Lin'an, I will never say such reckless words. In fact, even in Yuezhou City, I only tell my mother.

Although the mother is not her own mother, her kindness is no less than her kindness.

Mother is good to me, I am willing to give you anything, no matter how expensive it is.The same is true for five hundred guan of jewelry, and the same for [-] guan of money. When I have money, mother can spend it as she likes. "

Li Jiaoniang was shocked, this tone!
There is no such thing as being unmoved.

"Okay, okay, I got it, I know you are filial." Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Then I will take it first, the Zhuangzi needs money, and after returning to Lin'an, it also needs money to make connections. The competition between you and the king of Enping County , and need more money.”

When it comes to the competition with Enping County King, Li Jiaoniang thought of an important thing.

She said with deep eyes, "Cong'er, a few days ago, in order not to lose you in the competition, your father and I approached the aristocratic families in the city, and used both soft and hard methods to get them to pay some money.

At that time, we really had no money, so we came up with the idea. Now that we have money, we might as well return the money to them, so as not to be embarrassed in the future. "

After harvesting the food, Zhao Cong couldn't eat that much by himself, and it would only be used for military food in the future.

No matter how much grain you collect, it won't affect Zhao Cong's reputation.

But once the money was collected, the source of the money had to be recorded in detail.

In case of being attacked by someone with a heart, there will be a lot of trouble.

The money she raised at the beginning was only taken temporarily, thinking that when Zhao Cong recovered his memory, she would return it immediately.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Cong recovered faster than she expected, and the money arrived sooner.

Zhao Cong said, "I'll pay it back."

Li Jiaoniang said happily, "Okay, I will show you the details."

She took the notebook from the drawer and gave it to Zhao Cong.

Put the [-] coins in Zhao Cong's hand again, "Take it."

Zhao Cong frowned, "The money hasn't been covered by mother yet..."

"Money is water, it comes and goes." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile, "You can't make a lot of money by sticking to money. Go, go."

Holding the banknote, Zhao Cong secretly swore in his heart that he would earn more money in the future to repay his adoptive parents.

Li Jiaoniang asked Hu An to drive the carriage and took Zhao Cong out.

Watching the carriage leave, Li Jiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back to the medical clinic, and continued to sort out the books.

The income of the hospital is increasing every day.

Her income can already beat [-]% of the families in this city.

Thinking that the Song Dynasty would be over in 70 years, Li Jiaoniang began to think about the idea of ​​exchanging banknotes for silver.

The Jiaozi created by Empress Cao, that is, silver notes, are equivalent to modern banknotes. In the event of war and economic downturn, the banknotes are worthless.

Silver and gold are the most valuable items.

When Luo Cheng came back from doing business outside, when he walked into the clinic, he saw Li Jiaoniang standing by the counter in a daze.

"Jiaoniang, what are you thinking?" He also prepared a birthday gift for Li Jiaoniang, but he hid it first and kept it secret for now.

Li Jiaoniang raised her head and saw that the top of his head was covered with snowflakes, she walked over and swept it off with a handkerchief.

He smiled and said, "Is it snowing outside again?"

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Li Jiaoniang pulled him to sit by the brazier, poured him hot tea, and talked about Zhao Cong.

"He asked Qin Yu to pay [-] guan. Just now, the housekeeper of the Qin family sent it. Cong'er wanted to give it to me, but I confiscated it."

Luo Cheng always agreed with her approach, and said, "Is there some other arrangement for Jiao Niang not accepting her?"

Li Jiaoniang nodded and said, "A few days ago, didn't we borrow money from the Liu family, the Lu family, the Shi family and the prefect Chen to collect the one hundred thousand guan?
Now that you have money, why not return it?
As the old saying goes, you are short-handed.In order not to be used as an excuse in the future, it is better to pay it back. "

"So that's how it is." Luo Cheng was surprised. He didn't expect Li Jiaoniang to be so thoughtful, and said, "Well, Jiaoniang was so thoughtful. At that time, money was tight, so she had no choice but to do so. Now that there is no shortage of money, then I will return it." Lose."

"I asked Xiao Cong'er to return it, and I only gave him the address and the detailed list." Li Jiaoniang smiled, "I thought, since you are such a grown-up person, you shouldn't need me to accompany you when you go out, right?"

Luo Cheng's eyes darkened, and he hummed softly.

"I really shouldn't accompany you, my lord, it's time to stand on my own." He paused, "When Zhao Cong comes back, we will go to the village to make arrangements. After returning tomorrow morning, we will leave for Lin'an the next morning."

Li Jiaoniang blinked and said in surprise, "Isn't it okay to leave for Lin'an tomorrow? Why do we have to wait a day? Although Lin'an is not far from here, what if the journey is difficult and the time is too late?"

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, held Li Jiaoniang's hand and said,
"When Zhao Shicheng came to Yuezhou City, I asked him about the road to Lin'an, which is smooth and smooth, and it will be there in one night.

There is no need to leave tomorrow at all.

Set off at 29 pm the day after tomorrow, looking for a place to rest halfway.

On the [-]th day, I arrived in Lin'an early in the morning.

There is no delay in attending the palace banquet at night. "

Li Jiaoniang blinked and said with a smile, "It's amazing, how can you calculate the time so accurately?"

Luo Cheng coughed lightly, and said with an unnatural expression, "Tomorrow is your birthday, and Zhao Cong is going back to Lin'an, so I have to arrange it like this."

As he spoke, there seemed to be a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Li Jiaoniang blushed when she thought of the oath she had made.

"Going to the village? I'll ask Chunya if you want to go for a walk together. It's rare that the weather is good today, and the winter scenery outside the village must be beautiful."

She withdrew her hand from Luo Cheng, stood up quickly, and ran to the backyard.

Looking at her fleeing figure in a hurry, Luo Cheng smiled.

In fact, he was also nervous.

……

Zhao Cong was the first to go to the Lu family.

In his previous appearance, although under Luo Cheng's strict teaching, he pretended to be very honest, but his words and deeds were easy to pretend, and his eyes couldn't pretend.

If you get closer to him, you can still see from his eyes that Zhao Cong is just an immature innocent child.

It can only fool sloppy people.

Shrewd people, such as Mrs. Lu, can't be fooled at all.

The Lu family was very worried, fearing that they would make a wrong bet.

Today he came to see Mrs. Lu and Lu You alone, and both of them were shocked.

"Before, the Lu family helped with all their money, Cong, thank you very much." Zhao Cong bowed to the old lady Lu, "At the beginning, it was just a loan, but now that Cong has more money, he came here to return it."

Lu You was surprised, and quickly looked at Mrs. Lu, thinking that he had recognized the wrong person and heard the wrong words.

The same is true for Mrs. Lu.

She couldn't believe it.

Zhao Cong, who used to be a chaotic young man, contradicted Tang's Zhao Cong who looked like a three or five-year-old urchin, what he said at this time was so old-fashioned.
