Bachelor

Chapter 43

"Boss, what are your three sacks?" One of the three porters kept asking questions all the way.

Sun Dan was in a bad mood and didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he just replied that the boss sold him three bags of waste lead type at a discounted price.

Seeing Sun Dan's gloomy face, the man didn't dare to say more, and walked quickly with three bags of money on his back.In the cold weather, the porter's trouser legs were still rolled up, exposing his muscular calf, which looked very healthy.

Sun Dan was very envious. It has been more than a month since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and he has gradually gotten used to the ancient life. Now he has successfully passed the county examination and has some spare money on hand.The future path of life is already in the plan, as long as we go down firmly step by step, we will have a bright future.

The only regret is that his body is really not that good. In modern times, he was born in a peasant family, and he is used to doing farm work, so his body is very good.But now she is very thin, and after walking a long distance, she feels a little out of breath.This feeling made him feel very bad. The medical conditions of the ancients were very poor. Once they got sick, they could easily die.I also remembered that some time ago, my reading was so difficult that I almost broke my body.

Anyway, I have money now, so I have to strengthen nutrition and exercise from now on.

And Zhiniang also had to eat well and dress well.

When he got home, before Sun Dan could call the door, the nonsense porter had already knocked on the door with his fist, and shouted loudly, "Is there anyone in the room?"

The room was very quiet, and it took a long time to hear Zhi Niang's timid voice: "There is no one at home, today is the first day of the new year, and my husband will not come home until the afternoon."

Sun Dan couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you human?"

"Ah, Sun Lang is back." Zhi Niang whispered, and opened the door suddenly, revealing a pretty face.I haven't seen her for a month, and Zhiniang has lost some weight again, her pale face glowed at the same time when she saw Sun Dan, revealing a slight blush.

"Today is the first day of junior high school, so I went home early." Sun Dan didn't tell Zhiniang that he was studying and taking the county exam.It's just to participate in the county examination. Even if you pass the children's examination and become a scholar, you have nothing to brag about if you don't win the exam for a day.Tell her this, with Zhi Niang's character, but you have to worry more.

"Come into the house quickly, lunch is ready, have you eaten yet?" Zhi Niang hurriedly welcomed Sun Dan into the room, and picked up a washed white linen towel and vigorously patted the dust on Sun Dan's body.

"Boss, where are the goods?" the porter kept asking, it was already lunch time, and they were impatient to stay here, they just wanted to get their wages and find a place to eat.

Sun Dan looked around and found that there was really no room in the house, so he pointed to the dilapidated wooden bed and said, "Just put it on the bed." Before she had time to collect her wages, she asked Zhi Niang to send the porter away with thirty Wen.

"What is this thing? It's so dirty, it's still on the bed." Zhi Niang felt sorry for the thirty cents, and couldn't help complaining: "Isn't it just three pockets? Call us, we can take it home slowly."

"You, petty." Sun Dan laughed loudly, standing in front of the bed: "Mother Zhi, what did I tell you back then? One day, your husband-in-law is going to bring home a load of money. I don’t know what it’s like to cry. Of course, I haven’t earned much silver, so let’s replace it with copper coins. You must calm down, calm down, and don’t cry.”

"What, you are so strange."

Sun Dan stopped talking nonsense, he picked up the kitchen knife, and with a few knives, he cut open the three sacks.Then he threw away the kitchen knife, lifted it in his hand, and with a loud "crash!", dumped all the copper coins in his pocket on the bed.

Although the room was dark, there was still a dazzling yellow light flickering.

More than 2 copper coins flowed on the bed.

"Ah, this is..." Zhi Niang opened her mouth wide, but did not make any sound.

Sun Dan looked at Zhi Niang with a smile: "White jade is the hall, and gold is the horse. This is 24 Wen, which is [-] taels of silver. Madam, is your husband smelling like copper?"

Zhi Niang still stood in front of Sun Dan with her mouth wide open.

"What's wrong with you?" Sun Dan saw that Zhi Niang's eyes were dull, and she was suddenly worried, she stretched out her hand and shook in front of her eyes: "Wake up."

After a long time, Zhi Niang suddenly burst into tears: "Sun Lang, where did you get so much money? Although our family is poor, we are also innocent. No matter how hard or tired, as long as we are together, we can always grit our teeth and stand up. In the past. You are now working in the Huichang Marquis Mansion, and you can get paid every month. Seeing that our hard life is coming to an end, don’t go on the wrong path, go stand up and take risks!”

Sun Dan was stunned, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.It seems that Zhiniang suspects that she doesn't understand the source of the money.

He said annoyedly: "Mother Zhi, what are you thinking? My money came in a fair manner, just as I was going to be a thief and a robber?" He grabbed Mother Zhi's hand and looked into her eyes seriously: "Mother Zhi, you trust me ?"

Zhi Niang nodded with tears in her eyes: "I believe in you, but how did you earn so much money, how much do you earn a month?"

Sun Dan smiled: "As long as you believe in me, if you don't even have the minimum trust between me, I have nothing to say. You think too much. Look at my body, it's enough to walk a few miles. If you are too tired and have no strength in your hands, can you be a robber and a thief?"

Zhi Niang nodded: "But I'm worried..."

Sun Dan patted the back of her hand: "There is nothing to worry about. Some time ago, I helped Sun Hao, the eldest son of the Sun family, and I deserved my share. Although your husband has no strength, he has a good brain , as long as I am willing, it is a common thing to earn some odds and ends." There is no way but to take that kid Sun Hao out to top the vat.

"So it's working for the eldest son of the Sun family." Zhi Niang was only [-]% convinced, with a smile on her face.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the eldest son of Huichang Marquis Sun's family is an incredible big shot.But I don't want to, in fact, Sun Hao is also very poor.Wealthy family, family education is very strict, every month has a fixed amount of money, not how much you want to spend.Even today, it is impossible to spend money as you want.

Ordinary people, because they don't know the rich and powerful, many people even think that the children of aristocratic families like Sun Hao eat sesame oil with their meals every meal, use gold poles, buy two bowls of soy milk every morning, and drink one bowl after another.

After Zhiniang cried and laughed, she suddenly became worried: "How do you hide so many copper coins?"

Sun Dan was also a little annoyed: "Forget it, don't think about it, let's eat first, what are you having for lunch today?" Just after the exam, I was really hungry.

Zhi Niang hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, and said: "It's ready, sorghum rice and some pickles for lunch today, I'll serve it for you."

"Just eat these?" Sun Dan said, "Go out and eat?"

"Hey, the meal is ready, don't waste it." Zhi Niang said hurriedly.

Sun Dan opened the door: "Go out and eat something good, you look so thin. Anyway, we are rich now, and we will be richer in the future. The body is the foundation of a person. You and I are still young. Take good care of it. Get out!" After speaking, he strode out.

Zhi Niang was helpless, hurriedly carrying a string of money and followed her step by step.
