Chapter 304 Neighbors and Hidden Food【2】

Qin Xiaomi looked puzzled and asked, "Dongmowen? What is that?"

Next to the middle-aged man, the little boy in his early ten years asked in surprise: "Sister, are you a foreigner?"

The locals all know that the Eastern Desert is a neighboring country to the Wei Dynasty.

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Well, my family fled from Zhongyuan Prefecture and just settled down at the beginning of the year."

The little boy was stunned for a moment, his eyes were red, he hugged the book and bent down to salute: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you came here to escape the famine... Once you settle down, you will be from Dongming Prefecture, and you will be from the same hometown!"

Then he told Qin Xiaomi about Dongmo: "Tianmang Mansion used to be Dongmo. It is a very big country, adjacent to our Northeast Prefecture, but it is much colder than here. We have to wear jackets for half of the year. , the vegetables won’t survive.”

"These long words like earthworms are Dongmo script. The Dongmo people look different from us. They have high eyebrows, deep eye sockets, white skin, and lighter eyes and hair..."

Qin Xiaomi praised him: "You know so much at such a young age. It's really amazing...Have you ever met a Dongmo person?"

The little boy was praised and raised his chin proudly, and added: "I haven't seen it, but my father has seen Dongmo people. My father has been to Tianmangfu Pass. There is a border market there, and Dongmo people will come. The market exchanged things with us. These books were exchanged from the border market in Tianmangfu Pass. My father wants to help translate and teach me. "

This time, even Grandpa Qin was shocked and looked at the middle-aged man: "Sir, you can also translate and write Dongmo script? That's really a great talent."

The man smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, I'm exaggerating. I just understand a little bit."

Do you understand?

As we all know, anyone who knows something is proficient.

While they were talking, Manager Peng also came over. Seeing the man, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone in the Qin family: "This is Mo Xiucai, who lives in House No. 4 and is a teacher at Xiaosong Academy. Not only does he have a good temper, he also I can also translate and write Dongmo script.”

"He is actually a scholar. This old man has eyesight but does not recognize Taishan. I am rude." Grandpa Qin saluted Mo Xiucai.

Mo Xiucai hurriedly avoided it and said with a smile: "Uncle, there is no need to be polite."

His son Mo Xiaohu looked at Qin Xiaomi and asked expectantly: "Sister, your family is here to see the Tan family's house? Can you buy it? Then should we be neighbors?"

Qin Xiaomi smiled and said: "I bought the house, but my family lives in a village in the countryside and will not move to Fucheng for the time being."

"I don't live in the city." Mo Xiaohu was disappointed, but quickly added: "It's okay, the house has been bought anyway, my sister's house will definitely come again, and we can meet each other then."

Mo Xiaohu was very happy and kept talking to Qin Xiaomi.

However, Mo Xiucai was very measured and reported each other's family status. After rejecting the compensation offered by Grandpa Qin, he took his son and went home with the book in his arms.

Grandpa Qin sighed: "Our family is lucky to have such reasonable neighbors."

If you encounter bad neighbors, your life will never be easy.

Second Uncle Qin said, "Dad, how can anyone decide whether he is good or bad just after meeting him? What if he is a hypocrite?"

After hearing this, Qin Xiaomi nodded in agreement... Uncle Cheap is right, whether it is good or bad, you have to get along with him for a long time to know.

Manager Peng Da said: "Don't worry about the Qin family. The Mo family has lived in Dongming Mansion for five generations. They are a farming and studying family. They are married to the Yun family. The Yun family has an embroidery shop in embroidery street. The family still has ancestral embroidery skills." Mo Xiucai's maternal grandfather's family is a landowner in the suburbs. This Mo Xiucai's family, his wife's family, and his maternal grandfather's family are all clean-blooded, with no male offenders and no divorced daughter. ”

"Then this family background is indeed very innocent." Qin Xiaomi said, and then asked: "Does General Peng know where Dongmo books can be sold in the city?"

Manager Peng was surprised and asked: "Qin Xiaodong wants to buy Dongmo books?"

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Well, I'm a little curious."

This place is close to Dongmo, and many scholars from prominent families also buy Dongmo books and learn Dongmo script in order to prepare for the imperial examination. Therefore, there are bookstores in the city selling Dongmo books.

Mr. Peng Da said: "They are sold in official bookstores on the main street of Yamen. But they are more expensive. Qin Xiaodong can just buy one or two copies and go back to see them."

After all, without the scientific examination, the Qin family would not be able to make a living in the Guan Pass Market, so there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy this Dongmo book.

Second Uncle Qin complained: "Why buy this useless thing? You know how to waste money!"

"Oh, it's none of your business that I spend my money!" Qin Xiaomi gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "If you don't go to Wuze Medicine Store, then all lunch will be finished."

After hearing this, Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin ran away in a hurry, not forgetting to say: "Father/father-in-law, we can only eat half of the banquet after we return to the inn!"

This?

Manager Peng shook his head when he heard this. He only thought about eating, drinking and taking advantage all day long. It was really unlucky for Qin Xiaodong to have such uncles and aunts in his stall.

"Qin Xiaodong, if there is any problem with the house, just come to Yahang and see me." Manager Peng was very busy and left without staying any longer.

"General Manager Peng, go slowly." After Qin Xiaomi saw off General Manager Peng, he returned to the house with Grandpa Qin and Jiang Dalang.

The Tan family's concierge was already packing his things. Seeing that the Qin family's ancestors and grandsons were back, he came over and said, "Mr. Qin, if you don't need me to keep guarding the door, I will leave now. I will stay at the carriage and horse shop in the east of the city for five days. Within five days, , I will be on call. In five days, I will take the bus back to the capital Tan’s house to report back to my master’s family. After all, the New Year is coming soon.”

"Okay, we remember it, thank you for your hard work." Grandpa Qin gave the Tan family concierge a reward of one tael of silver.

When the Tan family's concierge saw this, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for the reward."

The concierge took out another booklet and gave it to the Qin family: "This is the list of every family in Qiming Street. It is given to the buyer by the Tan family as a good sign."

"Thank you." Grandpa Qin was overjoyed and took the book. With this book, his family will know who their neighbors are.

After the concierge finished his errands, he took one last look at the house, turned around and left with his baggage on his back.

Grandpa Qin looked at the huge house and felt a little embarrassed: "Xiaomi, the concierge is gone. We have to find someone to guard the house tonight. It's too big. If you don't guard it, what will you do if it is turned into a den of thieves?" If something bad happens, our family will be implicated."

Qin Xiaomi said: "Let Xu Liushi's family come to watch the night. Our master's family won't come to stay first."

"Sure." Grandpa Qin agreed. He and Qin Xiaomi stayed here and asked Jiang Dalang and the others to drive back to the inn and bring all the servants.

"Hey, I'll go back right away." Jiang Dalang drove back to the inn. Half an hour later, he came back with his servants with lunch.

"Xiaomi, Grandpa Qin, it's time to eat. The meat buns are still warm." Jiang Dalang came down with a food box, took out several plates of buns, and put them on the table.

Qin Xiaomi picked up the bun and took a bite. It tasted pretty good, quite fresh. It should have been made from fresh pork that had not been slaughtered for a long time. He asked Jiang Dalang: "Have you eaten it?"

Jiang Dalang smiled and said, "Not yet, I'll eat with you."

Su Su said that a family must eat together, otherwise it is not a family.

After Qin Xiaomi ate three steamed buns, he arranged for people to: "Go to each house and search three times. The floor tiles must also be knocked. If the sound is wrong, it proves that there may be something empty under the floor tiles. You must report it immediately."
