The Ancient Life of the Doomsday

The village chief wanted Pei Shaorong to help him. He wanted Pei Shaorong to bring something to Yueyang City for his daughter who was the magistrate's wife, and to see how his daughter was doing.

The village chief's daughter is Qin Xiangrong, who was a famous beauty in Linjiang Village at the beginning, with a gentle personality. When she was young, people who came to propose marriage almost broke the threshold of the village chief's house.

Among countless good families who came to propose marriage, Qin Xiangrong finally married her childhood sweetheart, who is also her current husband, the county magistrate of Yueyang City, Cen Ziwen.

Cen Ziwen and Qin Xiangrong are not only childhood sweethearts, but also distant relatives. It is not clear how far away they are, but the two were related a long time ago.

The original Cen's family was much worse than the village head's family, and the family was not rich. When Cen Ziwen and Qin Xiangrong got married, Cen Ziwen hadn't even been admitted as a scholar.

It stands to reason that Cen Ziwen's marriage to Qin Xiangrong was definitely a high-ranking one at that time, and many people were not optimistic about it. However, behind the two's childhood sweethearts, the village head was not a snobbish person, so he agreed to the marriage.

Even most of the money spent on their marriage was paid by village head Qin himself. After Qin Xiangrong got married, the village head did not miss out on subsidies.

At that time, many people in the village laughed at the fact that the village chief married a daughter and posted it upside down, but everyone did not expect that Cen Ziwen would work hard later, not only to be admitted as a scholar, but also to be ranked in the Beijing Science Examination, and finally became the county of Yueyang City make.

This big reversal caused a lot of waves here at the time. Father Mo wanted to sponsor his eldest son-in-law to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, and most of them were influenced by the village chief.

And Cen Ziwen, in order to thank the village chief for his timely help, has also taken care of the village chief's family after he developed.

However, since Cen Ziwen became the county magistrate, Qin Xiangrong followed her husband to Yueyang City. up.

On weekdays, Qin Xiangrong and Cen Ziwen would send a lot of things back to pay their respects, and would write letters to the village chief, but it has been almost three years, and the village chief misses his daughter and grandson very much.

But he wanted to go, but he really couldn't leave because the family dragged on. Now that he heard that Pei Shaorong was going to Yueyang City, he immediately wanted to bring something for his daughter.

By the way, let someone help to see how my daughter is doing now. After all, you can't really see it from letters and gifts. Now it's good to have someone you know help to take a look.

"From the Pei family, you don't know. My daughter has been weak since she was a child. Although Ziwen has been good to her, I haven't seen her for almost three years. I'm worried. You said that Ziwen was delayed by business. If you don't go home, why doesn't Xiangrong come back to have a look..."

The village chief said with some melancholy, he was worse than Father Mo, not to mention that he had no son in the family, and there was only a daughter like Qin Xiangrong. Since Qin Xiangrong got married, the village chief's family was very deserted.

For three years, except for receiving tribute and letters from her daughter and son-in-law during the holidays, she didn't see half a person.

The village head was both missing and impatient, and also a little sad. Could it be that the girl he loved since childhood has developed and despised his poor mother's family?

"Pei's family, when you see Xiangrong, you must bring my things and words for me, so that this damn girl has to find a time to bring my grandson back to have a look..."

"Village chief, don't worry, I will definitely go to the county magistrate's mansion to help you bring your things and words!"

Pei Shaorong nodded, and borrowed the donkey from the village head's house to help bring something and a conversation. It's not an embarrassment.

Not long after they came out from the village chief's house leading the donkey, the news that he and Mo Xiaobao were going to Yueyang City spread immediately, and the whole Linjiang Village was boiling.

In the hearts of the villagers, Yueyang City represents a modern and prosperous metropolis, and everything is worth yearning for.

Most people in the village are like Mo Xiaobao, the farthest place they have been to is Yueyang Town, and many girls and boys have never even been to the town, and have stayed in such a small area as Linjiang Village all their lives.

As soon as the news came out, everyone ran out and gathered together to discuss.

"The men from the Pei family are going to do business in Yueyang City, do you know?"

"I know, what the village chief said just now, the donkeys are all borrowed from them. I heard that the men from the Pei family are going to take Abao to play..."

"No, the Pei family really thinks highly of Abao. It would be great if the head of my family would also take me to Yueyang City. I heard that Yueyang City is much bigger than Yueyang Town..."

"It's not just big, everyone in the city eats fine grains of rice and wears silk and satin. At night, the lights in the city are still on. It's so beautiful, it looks like a place where gods live... "

"That's a big city, of course there are many good things... No, I have to ask my boss for some money to ask Abao to help me bring back a foot of cloth from Yueyang City. That's something in the big city..."

"That's right, I'm also going to find Abao to bring something, I want the pastry from Yueyang City, and give it to my good son!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too..."

It is a rare thing for someone from the village to go to Yueyang City. Everyone has heard a lot about things in the bustling big city, and they are envious of the bustling life in the big city.

Although they can't go now, since Pei Shaorong is going, everyone wants to bring something back with them, which is only available in big cities, so rare!

This is the same as the reason why modern friends go abroad to let them bring seafood. It is a sense of superiority to have something at home that is not available in the village or town.

When Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao went home and had lunch and were about to take a nap, there was a knock on the door of their house, and the whole village, old and young, people, big and small, all stood at the door of his house, begging for purchasing agent... …

The ancient times are no different than the modern times. Neighborhood and relatives are the most important thing. You must not be isolated by everyone, otherwise your life will not be clean.

Pei Shaorong smiled, and hurried back to the room to find paper and pens from the space before running out and saying loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, I wrote down what to bring here, but let me say first, I can't bring big things with you. And this money, my family can't pay in advance, everyone has to give some deposit first..."

"Okay!" Everyone agreed with a smile. Everyone knew the situation of the Pei family and didn't think there was anything wrong with giving the deposit first.

However, some people don't believe it. They don't feel at ease when they give money without getting something. They instantly give up the idea of ​​bringing something and whisper it.

Pei Shaorong didn't care when he heard it, he loved to take it with him or not, it's not good to go for a trip by himself, why should he pay in advance, if he doesn't write an IOU for the silver when he comes back, he won't be at a loss, besides, his family is not good now' Very poor'!

There were a lot of villagers running over, but in fact most of them were there to join in the fun. Pei Shaorong seriously recorded the things everyone wanted to bring, and Mo Xiaobao was next to collect the money.

Aunt Qin and Brother Lin also ran over. Brother Lin wanted to buy delicious shortbread, and Aunt Qin wanted to buy a bottle of Daqing wine.

Brother Lin bought shortbread for his two-year-old son Pei Shaorong, who understood. When Aunt Qin asked for wine, Pei Shaorong froze for a moment.

He knows that there is wine here, but the price is very expensive. This time when he goes to Yueyang City, he also plans to sell a few bottles of wine in his space for silver.

This kind of thing is usually only enjoyed by rich masters, and ordinary commoners can only look at it with sighs. Aunt Qin's family is not particularly rich, and she is very thrifty on weekdays. Why did she suddenly think of buying such expensive things as wine?

"Big brother, here's a tael of silver. You can buy as much as you can. When the wine comes back, my Musheng will be able to get married. Then big brother will come to drink the wedding wine!"

Aunt Qin handed the silver to Pei Shaorong, her face was so full of smiles that she almost couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Qin Musheng came back a year ago and said that it was his master who wanted to give him his daughter.

But the carpenter is a face-saving man, so he asked for a bottle of wine as the dowry.

"So that's the case, then congratulations, auntie..." Pei Shaorong nodded, and quickly wrote down Aunt Qin's wine.

After that, I memorized the things of several houses, and finally an old woman came up, "I want a catty of shortbread, two catties of candied fruit, and a piece of floral cloth, Yueyang City only has that kind!"

Pei Shaorong nodded and wrote it down, and motioned the old woman to pay, "It's estimated to cost three taels of silver..."

"Well, it's from the Pei family, you put the money on me first, and I'll give it to you later..." The old woman didn't take out the money.

Pei Shaorong was helpless, "Ma'am, everyone gives money first, and you are no exception. Otherwise, how can I explain to other folks? What's more, you are three taels of silver, not three pennies..."

This flower cloth is not cheap in the first place, and you need a special product from Yueyang City. Just now, there is a one that is only a few feet long, but I gave you a tael of silver first. This old lady wants one, and she is very tolerant to ask her to give three taels of silver first. .

"I know it's three taels of silver, why don't you just give it to me, and it's not like I won't give it to you..." The old woman was a little unhappy.

"..." Pei Shaorong was funny, and it was only three taels of silver, but it was so easy to say.

The villagers in the back started laughing when they saw the old woman, and Father Mo who rushed over after hearing the news rushed over directly when he saw the old woman.

"Wang's mother-in-law, what are you doing! Let's go, if you want the things in Yueyang City, go by yourself, don't ask my brother-in-law to bring them, and want to pay for money. Do you think my brother-in-law and Xiaobao are young and good?" Bullying, want to renege on it afterwards!"

"When you retired from my family back then, you still have the face to tell me, Xiaobao, to bring things to your family to repay your debts. You are too embarrassed..."

Father Mo stared at the old woman with a bad expression, Pei Shaorong turned his head to look at Mo Xiaobao's face, and his expression was also not very good, and after listening to Father Mo scolding a few words, he immediately understood.

The old woman in front of her who wanted to bring things without giving money was the old lady of Wang's family who had resigned from Mo Xiaobao's marriage, that is, the mother-in-law who bought a new year's pig to fight against his family Liu Meihua.

After being pointed at her nose and scolded by Mrs. Mo, and seeing people around her making fun of her own thoughts, Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Mo and Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao bitterly before turning around and leaving.

Seeing Mrs. Wang left, Father Mo also turned his head, looked at the two of them and taught him a lesson, "Mr. Abao, let me tell you, don't be polite when you meet the Wang family in the future. Back then they bullied my family badly..."

Thinking of the embarrassment of his family because of the Wang family's resignation, Father Mo was so angry that he took a few breaths to calm down.

"Abao, that, you also bring two things from Yueyang City to Dad, I want the golden silk tobacco, remember, it's the gold silk tobacco..."

As Father Mo said, he took out a tael of silver and put it on the table. His addiction to smoking pipe tobacco was no less than his desire for his son's incense.

Not only Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao were surprised when they saw the money on the table, but the villagers behind were staring at Papa Mo in horror. When did Papa Mo become so generous?

Facing the gazes of the people around him, Father Mo blushed rarely, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and pushed the money on the table forward.

"Cough cough, that golden silk dry tobacco is not cheap, one tael and a half silver per roll, Mr. Abao, if you make money by doing business, you can make up for me..."

"..."

Pei Shaorong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Mo Xiaobao stared at Papa Mo as if I knew it, and the villagers behind him were also relieved, come on, this is Papa Mo!
