My ancient leisure life

Xu Nuo drove home slowly in a donkey cart, thinking about whether the words he said in front of the Zhou Mansion could keep the side of the civilian hall.

He also thought that the Xu family only valued the business of those high-ranking and rich people, not to mention the easy money, but as the Zhou family, they could make some contacts.

He should look down on him making a little money, but this time he dare not take it lightly.Last time, he always thought that the Zhou family would take the government way to get back the shop, even if he lost the guild hall, he could get back the shop money without too much loss.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that Zhou's government is trying to save face.Although Xu Nuo was always unsure of what they were going to do, he never dreamed that he would be slanderous, leaving him with no scum left.

The only thing that reassures him is that there are no casualties, otherwise he really doesn't know what will happen to him, whether he can get over this test in his heart, after all, human life is at stake, and bought slaves are also human beings!

He went to the Zhou Mansion to try and put pressure on the outside, and wanted to use the public opinion outside to see if they really didn't want to lose face and could attack the civilian hall again.

As a result, as he guessed, it should be Xu's work, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Zhou. Butler Zhou's expression and attitude speak for themselves.

Now he has done everything he should do. He can only do his best to see if the Zhou family is covering up or pampering the Xu family. At worst, they will ruin this side. Anyway, he prepares a lot of food for these attendants and the two shopkeepers. Don't do it for a year or two without going hungry.

"Boy Nuo, you're back." Aunt Wang waved in the field like Xu Nuo.

"Ma'am." Xu Nuo stopped the car and went to talk to her.

Aunt Wang looked around mysteriously, and saw that there were no idlers nearby, so she asked in a low voice: "How is the matter in the town, have you found that black-hearted person?"

"Not yet." Xu Nuo replied with a smile, he agrees with her black heart.

"Hey!" Aunt Wang groped into her arms and said, "Don't worry, Auntie sees that you have bought a lot of food, and the family expenses are not too much. You take the two taels of silver here, and if you have anything else If you have any difficulties, come find your aunt again."

"Hey, that won't work." Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment when he saw the money she stuffed over, and then pushed it back, "Ma'am, I have money, and there is a guild hall open in my place, making a lot of money every day."

"Ah?" Aunt Wang looked at Xu Nuo suspiciously and said, "Do you still have the guild hall?"

"Yes." Xu Nuo said with a smile: "I opened two, and I can make some money with this one, which is enough for the family to spend."

"Hey!" She patted her chest and said, "But we were so worried. I didn't know what happened when I heard about you. Your aunts and aunts knew that you had food, so they wanted to collect some money for you. I said If you are thin-skinned, everyone will give it to you in private, so you can accept it."

"No need, I have other things to bother you." Xu Nuo felt very warm in his heart, they were all neighbors, and he didn't expect to eat a few meals of him, so he just missed him.

"Tell me what it is." Aunt Wang immediately agreed, "By the way, it's about the vegetables you planted. It's okay, we discussed it earlier, and we will help you take it back together. You can just busy with the town's affairs."

"Well, thank you, ma'am." Xu promised: "Winter is coming soon, I want to repair the house, or I'm afraid it will collapse when it snows, I want to ask if your brothers are busy? If not Just come and help, and the wages are twenty yuan a day."

"What's the salary for this? I'll let them go there early tomorrow morning. You tell them how to fix it, and go about your business."

Xu Nuo just responded with a smile and didn't refute with her. He had already contacted the masons, and the only reason to find their family members was to make them earn some money.

Seven or eight days later, the house has been renovated, the most important thing is to replace the tile roof. If it is not man-made damage, it will be fine if it is not repaired for a few years.

Xu Nuo also explained to the bricklayers the principle of the modern heated kang, because he only knew the general idea. After several experiments in the Westinghouse where he lived, he finally built a heated kang that was exactly the same as the modern one.

Therefore, he had to lament the strength of these craftsmen, who could build his ideal heated kang with only a little knowledge of what he said.

For this reason, the villagers also knew the purpose of the heated kang, and promised to do their filial piety for the original owner to build a heated kang for the two old people of the Xu family, and then came to ask about the heated kang one after another when they repaired the house.

Promise, in the expectant eyes of those bricklayers, generously promised that they could do this business, but hoped that their prices would not be too high, so that more people would not be cold in winter.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we all know how you behave. We will not deal with you for a day or two. We will definitely do what you say."

They promised very happily, and even expressed their gratitude for the promise over and over again with gratitude.With this skill, everyone knows how much money they can make in the northern winter.

Even if they just earn a wage, they don't have work every day. Now they don't have to be cats every winter, and they can continue to go out to make money.

Then the vegetables in the field were taken back, and after everything was settled properly, he promised to find Er Dan and arrange for him to return to the village every day in the future and show him the house.

"Xuannuo, where are you going?" Erdan was taken aback.

"Go to the capital, don't tell others." Xu Nuo naturally won't hide it from the bastard, but others can't tell it.

"Are you looking for your cousin?" Others don't know where Cheng Ge is, but Erdan knows, so he asks this question.

"No, I'm looking for some connections so that I can continue to open the guild hall when I come back." Xu Nuo told Er Dan what was in his heart, and at the same time told him the truth, so that he would not worry about it and affect the emotions of those in the guild hall.

Xu Nuo, from the matter of burning the guild hall, plus the matter of the Xu family of the Zhou family, knew that if he did not find a backer who was evenly matched, he would not even think about opening a guild hall again.

During this period of time, he has thoroughly understood this era. As his identity, no matter what he does, if he is favored by others, he will be taken away by a tyrant.

Without the Zhou family, there are other families, without the Xu family, there are other people, and Kyoto is the center of power, and it is imperative to cling to some high-status and powerful figures.

"No." Er Dan shook his head and said, "I'm worried about you being alone, I'll go with you."

Hearing what he said, Xu Nuo rolled his eyes with a smile, "I knew you would be like this, so I made everything clear to you."

"I also want to take you with me, but if you leave too, what will happen to my family? And the guild hall, do you think I can leave it to others? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to go out. I have to rely on you to watch over everything at home."

Seeing his troubled appearance, Xu Nuo couldn't bear to make it harder for him, and comforted him: "Besides, if your cousin comes back and wants you to tell him these things, I don't dare to entrust others easily."

With these promises, Erdan couldn't hold on anymore, and knew that there were many things that could not be easily shared with others, just like Cheng Ge's whereabouts, Cheng's family didn't know at all, they only knew that they were there to help a friend.

Before leaving, he took Erdan to the village chief's house, told the village chief that he was going on a long trip, and explained Erdan to him as housekeeper, hoping that the village chief could help him if there was anything he could do.

"You child, winter is coming soon, where are you going in this cold weather?" The village chief asked worriedly: "Is it because your guild hall burned down? We country people can't afford to mess with those people in the town People, if you can't do it, you can farm at home, Cheng Ge is capable, you can't go wrong with your life."

"Well, I know." Xu promised: "I want to take advantage of the time now to go outside and see more of the world and gain some insight. I will grow in my life. I don't want to be more promising, but I don't want to spend my whole life just farming. , always find something else to do.”

This is what he said in his heart. No matter how capable Cheng Ge is, he can't rely on him for a lifetime, just like he is not the only one to deal with the accident now.

And he really can't do the farming work. During Cheng Ge's absence, most of the work in the vegetable field was done by others, and he was very tired.

Business must be done. He must not live here much worse than in modern times. After all, he relied on his family at that time, but now he relies on himself. If he is really reduced to farming for a living, he is so incompetent that he might as well be hit to death never mind.

"There are disasters everywhere this year, and the road is not safe." The village head still wanted to persuade him to stay, "How can you do it alone, what if something happens on the road?"

"It's okay." Xu Nuo said with a smile: "If something happens, it's just giving up money. If I give them money to change their way of life, it probably won't be too difficult for me."

"I hope!" The village chief couldn't persuade him, "I hope seeing you go on the road alone at a young age will give you a way to survive."

As he said that, he took out a money bag from his pocket, took out three taels of silver and said, "The poor family is rich, you bring more money, and it will be easier to live outside."

The village head stuffed the silver into Xu Nuo's hand, not allowing him to refuse, saying: "I must take it, I wanted to send it to you a long time ago, but you have been busy all the time, and you don't look like you are too short of money, so I didn't go there .”

"Now that you are going on a long trip, you have to accept it regardless of whether you are short of money or not. This is a rite of passage for you. You will come back safely and smoothly along the way."

"Okay, thank you Grandpa Village Chief." Xu Nuo smiled more sincerely, "I will definitely come back safely, and I will trouble you to take care of my family."

After bidding farewell to the village chief and coming out, Xu Nuo was full of emotion. Since his accident in the guild hall, some people in the village not only have good relations with him, they want to give him financial support, fearing that he will not be able to bear the setback as a child.

Even those who said a few sour words at every turn disappeared, looking at him with sympathy.Most of the people in the village are honest and kind. Seeing that his well-established guild hall was burned, they couldn't speak to comfort him, so they spontaneously helped him with the work in the vegetable field.

Even Hong Zhi took his friends to pull weeds for him, as well as Mr. Xu and his grandma, who stayed in his field almost all day long, just hoping to share some of the burden for him.

He was grateful for these, and he lay down on the bed and made up his mind, whether it was from Zhou Yuyi, Zhao Kai or someone else, he must find a backer.

At night, the north wind blew, whistling and flapping against the window lattice, he fell asleep amidst the noise, but it was not quiet outside, someone sneaked to the door.
