Another World Taoyuan [Farming]

Chapter 12

Ye Xiaoman just wanted to go and watch the excitement, but Zhao Jingzhe was thinking about it. He thought of a lot of couplets and poems, but he denied them one by one, because all he could memorize were famous lines, and basically everyone knew them. of.

A poem or couplet can be handed down and known to the world the year before last, so it has its endless beauty, but because of its passing through the ages, Zhao Jingzhe is afraid that there will be their creators in this era, if he speaks out later What people in this era are familiar with, so what should I do.

"Xiao Man, our current country is called Dayan, right? Do you know Qin Shi Huang, Han Wu, or Shang Zhou, Zhou Wu?" Zhao Jingzhe was talking about famous and influential emperors in history. He thought that if Xiaoman said he knew, then he would be more honest in a while, and he should not show off other people's wisdom and lose his own.

"I don't know. Brother Zhao, who are those people? It sounds like the name of the emperor, but our Dayan has never had these emperors." Xiao Man is really confused, how could Brother Zhao ask such a strange question.

Seeing Xiaoman's confused face, Zhao Jingzhe felt relieved at last, but he still asked: "Xiaoman, I'm not only talking about our big Yan, but also before big Yan? For example, the previous dynasty?"

"The former court? Oh! Brother Zhao, you really asked me. How can I know these things because I have read few books? These things are things that only court historians can know. How can I know. I don't even know. We don’t know how many years of history our Great Yan has.” Qin Huang Han Wu, these great emperors who are famous through the ages, are known even by ordinary people.Listening to Xiaoman's answer, Zhao Jingzhe was finally relieved, this place is indeed a place that has nothing to do with his world.

Peach Blossom Town is a place full of flowers, and the wealth of the richest man in this town is naturally very high.This year is the [-]th birthday of Master Qin, the richest man in the town. His sons specially organized such a birthday event for him, and the lottery has doubled compared to previous years.

As early as a month ago, the Qin family was preparing for their master's birthday. The Qin family would hold this birthday event in the town, and everyone in the neighboring villages and towns knew it. Therefore, Taohua Town is very lively today.The people who come here are not only grateful for watching the excitement, but also those who want to take the lottery away because of their talents. Qinghan people can solve many life problems if they win the lottery. Yuanbo, no matter how you look at it, is a good thing.

"Brother Zhao, are you hungry?" Xiaoman and the others arrived in the town late, and when they came to the Qin's restaurant, it was already full of people inside and out, and Xiaoman was hungry, but the food in the restaurant was too big. It's expensive, and I can't just eat here, so I thought about going to other places to eat first, and then come back.

"Xiao Man, Big Brother Zhao has something to do. If you are hungry, go and eat. Come here and find me later."

"Aren't you going? Then I'm not going either. Let's go together when you finish the business." Xiao Man is actually not hungry, mainly because he is hungry and feels that this place is too boring. He can only see people's heads. It's too hot to be too uncomfortable.

"Xiao Man, come with me." It's June day, and it's not easy to stand outside the house.The Qin family has a rule that those who want to participate in this birthday celebration and write congratulatory speeches to Master Qin can all go to the high platform built outside the restaurant. much more comfortable.

Pulling Xiaoman through the crowd, to the high platform, Zhao Jingzhe picked up a brush and wrote his name on the registration paper, then pulled Xiaoman up to the high platform.

Once here, everyone can have their own place, and each place is equipped with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.Looking at such a grand and solemn posture, Zhao Jingzhe couldn't help sighing, it's good to be rich, regardless of ancient or modern times, rich people can always let themselves live happily.

Zhao Jingzhe's brush calligraphy has been practiced since her freshman year, and now she has practiced it for six or seven years. Although it can't be described as a small and medium achievement, it is definitely a beautiful calligraphy.

Because there are a lot of people participating, everyone has a limited time for a stick of incense. After writing it, sign their own names, and then hand it over to the young man, who will take it to the eldest young master of the Qin family. If the young master Qin is satisfied Then tell the outside world to read it once, and then this person can wait for the next round.

Zhao Jingzhe was not surprised when he informed himself. No matter how prosperous Peach Blossom Town is, it is only a small place. Even if there are talented people who can amaze the world, it is impossible to be everywhere. It is just that Young Master Qin has taken a fancy to it, and it is not the final winner. It's definitely possible to be shortlisted.

"Xiao Man, I'll treat you to something later." The ten taels of silver was in his pocket, which is a lot of money in this day and age.

"Ah."

About an hour after Zhao Jingzhe's name was announced, all the poetry couplets that Young Master Qin liked were sent to Master Qin, waiting for Master Qin to choose his favorite one.

Zhao Jingzhe didn't care much about the final result, because he only remembered the ten taels of silver that Xiaoman said before, but he never noticed that the lottery had been doubled. In fact, his 20 taels of silver had already been obtained.

After getting along with the Ye family and knowing the approximate annual income of the Ye family and the wages of Apa Ye's work, Zhao Jingzhe is quite satisfied, because today he has received all the income of the Ye family for two full years.

Thinking about what to buy to go back, and also thinking about the cost of doing business here, Zhao Jingzhe was ready to wait for the result to come out, took his own money and left, who knew that not only he, but everyone would eat it when the result came out. Surprised.

"Zhao Jingzhe, Mr. Zhao, congratulations."

"Me?" Zhao Jingzhe was really surprised, because he wrote down the couplet casually, but he accidentally saw it in a book once, because it was simple, he remembered it better.

"Live a hundred years old Song Qin Hexian, counting all the hardships and joys of his life. The joys and hardships come. My father did suffer a lot when he was young. My brothers and I were all brought up by him. Mr. Zhao has a heart, and he has no endless flattery. It’s just telling about my father’s life, no wonder my father likes it.” Zhao Jingzhe’s congratulatory speech is indeed extremely simple, but this is not a talent competition, it only depends on the old man’s mind, the birthday star’s liking is what matters.

Zhao Jingzhe didn't expect that he would hit the big luck by playing blindly, so he won now?

Zhao Jingzhe didn't want to care about the life of the master of the Qin family, because it had nothing to do with him whether he was doing well or not. Now he was so excited that he was winning the lottery!

After meeting the master of the Qin family almost excitedly all the way, and then leaving with the lottery, Zhao Jingzhe still couldn't calm down.

Compared to Zhao Jingzhe's excitement, Ye Xiaoman was shocked, because he always thought that Big Brother Zhao was illiterate, but Big Brother Zhao is not only literate, he can also compose lyrics, really amazing!

Ever since Zhao Jingzhe dragged him to the high platform, Ye Xiaoman began to be puzzled, but because of Zhao Jingzhe's mood, he didn't ask for a while. Now that the two have left the restaurant of the Qin family, Ye Xiaoman finally couldn't help asking. up.

"Um, Xiaoman, let me tell you this, my knowledge was taught by the old grandfather who grew up with me." Hey!Zhao Jingzhe didn't want to lie to Xiaoman either, but he had already lied before, and now he could only lie according to what he said before.

As soon as he heard that it was the old grandpa, Ye Xiaoman didn't ask any questions. Although Zhao Jingzhe didn't say it clearly, the villagers almost all acquiesced that Zhao Jingzhe was raised by the gods in the mountains.

After taking Xiaoman to eat, Zhao Jingzhe took Xiaoman to the grocery store in the town. He bought a lot of snacks for Xiaoman, and when he asked the boss to take those things, he could see Xiaoman's eyes rolling. Days later, Zhao Jingzhe also found out that Xiao Man is just such a good eater.

"Xiaoman, I saw a lot of people wearing silver rings on their hands, what is that?" Zhao Jingzhe wanted to know if it was there when he was in Buzhuang, and when he went to Qin's restaurant and the grocery store just now. What's important.

"Well, they are all little brothers, so they will wear that ring." Because the appearance of the little brother is no different from that of a man, so in order to distinguish the two, their hairstyles, clothing and accessories are slightly different.

"Will any younger brother wear it?"

"Well, almost."

"Xiao Man, where is the silver building in the town?"

There are two relatively large silver buildings in the town. The items in them are of better style and quality, but the prices are also expensive.The consumers in those two silver houses are basically rich people in the town. If the villagers go to the town to buy any jewelry, they will go to the small shop, which can be much cheaper.

Ye Xiaoman habitually took Zhao Jingzhe to the silver building that she had been to with A Niang, but Zhao Jingzhe didn't like the style after choosing for a long time.

"Xiaoman, is this the only place?" Zhao Jingzhe thought that according to the prosperity of this town, it is impossible that there is only such a small shop.

"Yes, but it's very expensive there." Ye Xiaoman just guessed in his heart, he thought that if he bought this item from Brother Zhao, he could only give it to him or A Niang, and the possibility of giving it to A Niang was even higher. , because Brother Zhao seemed to have expressed that he did not want to marry his brother.

"It's okay, brother Zhao made money today? Let's go."

The larger silver building is different, and Zhao Jingzhe quickly chose the style.Zhao Jingzhe had bought a few catties of good wine for Aunt Ye before, and bought a thimble for Aniang Ye's needlework. When he handed the ring he just bought to Xiaoman, he took it for granted, but Xiaoman took it for granted. Hands behind.

"Xiao Man, what are you doing? Aren't you a brother too? I don't think you have anything on hand. I bought you a pretty one. Put it on."

"Brother Zhao, you can't wear this casually, I can't take your things, you..."

"Is there anything you can't wear, come on, put it on quickly." When he grabbed Ye Xiaoman's hand, Zhao Jingzhe realized that Xiaoman looked white and fleshy, but his hands were full of calluses, and his knuckles were also hard. Should be working frequently.
