brother in modern

In the courtyard of the doctor Lang of Xiangguo Mansion.

Brother Huang, led by the lanterns of the two younger brothers, slowly entered the door.

Under a bright candle lamp in the room, the doctor Lang has just combed his hair under the service of the young nun.

"Reporting to Doctor Lang, the three young masters have already rested."

"En." Hong Wanting nodded while admiring his own beauty in the bronze mirror.However, thinking of being alone again tonight, his complexion suddenly became gloomy.

"Where does the master rest tonight?"

Brother Huang took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Husband, the master is still in the study. According to the announcement from Butler Yang, the master will rest in the study tonight. I guess the emperor sent something important."

snort!Big deal?A trace of disdain flashed in Hong Wanting's eyes, and he remained silent for a long while and said, "Go tell the kitchen and cook a bowl of lotus seed soup for the master." He said to the mother behind him, "Get my thick coat ready, and I will deliver it to the master in person later. go."

"Yes." Brother Huang and the young nanny nodded in response.

Just as Brother Huang was about to leave, Hong Wanting said again: "Brother Huang, forget about what you said tonight for the time being. The master has taken care of you today, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave the lotus garden in the future. Well, you will let people Go and call Dafu and Liu Cai back, we can't go against the master's will."

"Yes." Brother Huang realized when he rolled his eyes, he nodded and left.

Early the next morning.Steward Yang followed Liang Xiangguo's instructions and delivered food for the two little brothers for the next month to the gate of the lotus garden.

As for the food that Liang Yu got in after getting rid of Liu Cai Dafu, or the food sent by Brother Huang, it doesn't count.After all, Master Xiangguo personally ordered it, so it must be strictly in accordance with Xiangguo's intention, counting from today.

Therefore, the old man directly counted the food that an adult could eat in a month, and gave Liang Yu and the others fifty catties of rice, twenty catties of noodles, fifty catties of oil, and fifty catties of meat.

Brother Xiao Yu originally came to pick up the old cotton-padded clothes agreed upon this morning.I didn't expect to get so much food when I didn't get the cotton clothes.

"This is what Xiangye ordered." Yang Butler smiled and repeated what Liang Xiangguo said last night.

When he heard the words that if he stepped out of here, his leg would be broken, Xiao Yu shuddered.

"Just trouble Brother Yu, Xiangye ordered that from today onwards, no one is allowed to step here without his order. The old man has no choice. Look at these things, how about you move slowly?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Yu was frightened into a fool at the moment, so it was natural for him to respond to what Butler Yang said.In fact, he was always scared when he saw Butler Yang, let alone this time, he was ordered by the Prime Minister.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was so obedient, Steward Yang smiled and retreated to the gate with a group of servants, and closed the door thoughtfully.

Of course, the moment the door was closed, the face of the old man changed, and he directly ordered the servants who followed him: "Lock it, from today onwards there will be two people in the second grade and the third grader guarding here. At other times, unless Xiangye comes here in person, he will be killed without mercy."

"Yes." A group of servants lowered their brows and looked pleasing to the eye, and two men who looked very mighty and majestic stood at the gate like gods after the gate was locked.

Liang Yu sleeps until the sun basks in her buttocks before getting up, euphemistically saying that she wants to grow taller.Student Xiaoyu naturally dare not refute this, who calls him a young master.Also force value is stronger than oneself.

It was just that when he woke up and saw the things in the yard that Xiao Yu had brought back on straw mats, he cursed directly.

"Damn!" He has had enough now!What he needs is a cotton coat, okay? "What's the matter? Where's the cotton coat I want? There aren't too many, but a few are fine too?"

With a weeping face, Xiao Yu was aggrieved for a long time before he falteringly repeated the butler's words to Liang Yu.

After listening, Liang Yu frowned first, then suddenly realized, and then burst out laughing.

"Master..." Xiao Yu was frightened, his young master wouldn't be so frightened that he lost his mind, right?

Liang Yu continued to laugh out loud.

"Young master, young master, what's the matter with you? You can't have something to do? How can Xiao Yu live if you have something to do?" As he said that, he was about to pounce on him.

"Get out." Liang Yu pushed away someone who had an open mind, "Your body smells of sweat, stay away from me, young master."

Well!Master seems to be fine.So Xiaoyu continued to worry about her future.

"Pfft, that's enough." Liang Yu said with an ambitious face, "What are you crying about, you are really a child (Xiao Yu: You don't seem to be a child when you say it). Don't you think that from today onwards, this place is ours, Is it something to be happy about?"

"Have it?"

"Of course." Liang Yu said contemptuously, "You still don't admit that you are stupid, but Mr. Xiangguo allocated one-third of the place of Xiangguo's mansion to me in one sentence, and from today on, no matter what I do here , no one will disturb, no one will stop."

"Uh!" Xiao Yu realized later, "Master, why did I hear that this matter became a good thing when it reached your side?"

"Anyway, you idiot can't understand." Liang Yu waved his hands in disgust, "Okay, don't worry about it, and quickly distribute the things, let's continue to work. Since no outsiders will enter this yard from now on, then We can move over and use the things in other yards.”

"There is nothing in the other yards."

"Why not, those big vats! Our dried vegetables will be dried in a while, haven't you found a place to store them? It happens that those big vats can be used, or else when it snows heavily in winter There is no guarantee that dried vegetables will go bad."

"Yes!" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.Then he immediately pointed to one of the bags on the ground and said, "Master, today Steward Yang sent us twenty catties of pork, ten catties of mutton and five chickens."

"Didn't you say that Chaoyang people don't like to eat pork?" Seeing Xiao Yu's grateful expression, Liang Yu couldn't help pouring cold water on her.

right!The nobles of the Chaoyang Kingdom regard pork as an inferior thing, just because the cooked meat is oily and watery, so they usually use it for a change of mouth, and no nobleman in any family eats this for a long time.So Xiao Yu, who was still happy at first, suddenly became depressed.

Liang Yu walked over by himself to look at the things on the ground. These things were entrusted by Xiao Yu three times. In order to make the way from the door easier, he personally made a route for Xiao Yu, and checked the goods from that route. Things don't take much effort.

"Oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea. Rice, noodles, meat, kidney beans, and sugar... well, it's quite complete." Liang Yu looked at it one by one, and generally speaking, these things are not bad, but compared with the people in Xiangguo's mansion, they are not good. It's a lot worse.

Like the eggs that Liang Yu misses so much recently, there are no drops.

And most importantly, Liang Yu reckoned that if he wanted to eat meat and bones and animals in the water in the future, he would have to figure out a way for himself.Also, I don't know what to do with the imminent cotton coat.

How to do it?It's only the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the two of them have to wear cotton padded clothes in the morning. After a while, they won't even be able to go out?

"Xiao Yu, the young master wants to ask you something?" Seeing that Xiao Yu was going to carry something again, Liang Yu pulled him over and sat down, "After you rest, you have a day. You can take your time."

"Oh!" Xiao Yu wiped off her sweat and wanted to untie her clothes to cool off.After being glared at by Liang Yu, he smirked and remembered that the young master said last time that you must not take off your clothes at such a time, or you may catch a cold.They were locked up in this courtyard, but no one brought them a doctor to look at them.

Xiao Yu cherishes his life very much, so he won't let himself catch a cold.

Seeing that Xiao Yu listened to her, Liang Yu began to play on the other party's words.Helplessly, the number of times this kid went out was pitiful, and he heard many things from others.So it's very unclear.But relying on these sporadic news, Liang Yu was able to piece together the general situation.

Generally speaking, the Prime Minister's Mansion is very large. If you don't go out through the gate, you have to walk for a long time, that is, more than two hours, to go out from any other place.The closer it is to the back of Xiangfu, the farther it is naturally.

oh!One more point, the lotus garden is backed in a valley, so, so I guess you have to go over mountains and mountains to get out from here!

And Xiangfu is said to be half an hour away from the downtown area.

Well, well, who said this is a rich area?It is a tall place, even in the modern high-end villa area, without a car, it takes no more than two hours to walk from the innermost part of the community to the outermost part.Not to mention the era when the ancient land was used casually.

Another point, which is also the most important point for Liang Yu, is that the price of goods in the capital is high.In the southern district, ordinary cotton clothes cost at least two taels of silver, thin cotton quilts cost four to five taels, and thick ones cost more than ten taels.And it must be really good.

Fuck!Damn, Liang Yu wanted to curse again, who said that ancient things are cheap?

A quilt is worth one or two taels, or is it thin?

"Well, young master, I heard that someone used a intact tiger skin and sold it for 3000 taels at once." Xiao Yu said enviously.

Liang Yu's expression became even uglier.

"Oh! I heard from Xiaodouzi in the kitchen that things are very cheap in the North District. It is said that the cheapest cotton coats are only one tael, but they are made of linen. Quilts can be bought for five taels, but they are not good. En , Xiaodouzi also heard people say that if you buy these things in the prefectures outside the capital, it will be cheaper, my God! How much cheaper is cheaper?"

Who said before that 1000 taels of silver would make you a local tyrant?Liang Yu felt like she was going to cry.He dared to say that no matter what can be bought for five taels of silver in the North and South Districts, it would not be a good thing.

But he really couldn't figure out why the prices in the capital were so high?

But soon, before Liang Yu could ask, Xiao Yu solved his doubts.

"Master, do you know? The father in the kitchen said that more than ten years ago, a cotton coat or quilt could be bought for a hundred taels of silver. Do you think what he said is true?"

Damn, are you older than the young master?The young master is only four years old this year, how do you know.

etc!Liang Yu suddenly felt that she understood something!

It seems that in ancient China, cotton was regarded as an ornamental plant when it first entered the country. There were very few cotton fabrics in the Han Dynasty, and it began to spread to the Central Plains in the Tang and Song Dynasties.Then you can imagine that cotton was popularized very slowly in ancient times.

This is equivalent to the Chaoyang Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty. Well, it is not difficult to imagine that cotton fabrics are very expensive.

~~~~(>_<)~~~~

But he would rather cotton has become popular, otherwise how could the little money in his hand be enough for him?
