Zhang Yun's ancient life

When Zhang Yun came home, Uncle Guan and the others had already left first, because Mrs. Guan and his family had come over in the morning, so after they left, no guests came all afternoon. Uncle Guan and his wife knew that Guan Jing If they don't need their help, they declined Guan Jing's persuasion and took their son home.

After Zhang Yun changed his clothes, Aunt Ma brought up dinner from the kitchen. When there were no guests in their house, the dishes were very simple, basically two dishes and one soup. The dishes were meat and one vegetable, and the soup was nothing Pay attention, as long as it is fresh seasonal ingredients, no matter what it is, it can be made into a good soup and served.

It was the same today, because I was busy cleaning up the house, so Aunt Ma didn’t cook any time-consuming dishes for dinner. A plate of fried meat with celery, a plate of scrambled eggs with melon slices, and a pot of fresh shrimp and tofu soup are all very homely. It's an easy-to-cook dish, and it didn't take half an hour to add the three dishes together.

The stewed rice was carried in a wooden basin and placed on the edge of the kang table. Guan Jing brought Zhang Yun's rice bowl and served him the rice. Just as he handed the bowl over, Zhang Yun had already used another empty rice bowl. The soup was filled in a bowl, and I have already drunk half of it.

Seeing Guan Jing handing over the bowl, he didn't look up, took the rice bowl with one hand, and held the soup bowl with the other hand, and with a tilt of his neck, he poured down a bowl of clear soup.

Then he put the soup bowl aside and began to concentrate on picking up vegetables for dinner.

Zhang Yun eats a lot, even more in Guan Jing's generation. Guan Jing usually only eats one bowl, and only adds half a bowl when he is really hungry.

And Zhang Yun usually eats three bowls of rice. If there is any big training this day, he will eat an extra bowl when he comes back at night.

At the beginning, Guan Jing was afraid that he would eat too much and his spleen and stomach could not bear it. After a while, he realized that the amount of three bowls of rice was the result of Zhang Yun's restraint. He only ate eight bowls of rice for breakfast and dinner. If you are full, the lunch meal will be the real all-you-can-eat.

Their family has a small population, and they all like to eat fresh food, so the dishes that Aunt Ma cooks every time are not too much. When eating together, Zhang Yun will deliberately slow down the speed of eating, waiting for Guan Jing, until he is full and puts down the bowls and chopsticks, Zhang Yun will let go of the speed, and clean up the remaining dishes and soup .

It was the same this time, Zhang Yun saw that Guan Jing had put down the bowls and chopsticks, and then he started to take away the leftovers on the table quickly.

When Zhang Yun finished eating, Guan Jing called Aunt Ma, pulled out everything on the table, and cleaned the heated kang, while she stood up and waited for Zhang Yun to rinse his mouth, wrung out a clean towel and handed it to him.

Zhang Yun took the towel and wiped his face. Just after pouring down a few bowls of hot soup, sweat appeared on his forehead. If Bao Ni smelled it, he would despise him again and refuse to let him hugged.

Just as Guan Jing and Zhang Yun took care of themselves, Bao Ni on the other side began to cry. Guan Jing heard the voice and hurried over. This child is usually very obedient, and there must be a reason for crying.

Guan Jing picked up Bao Ni, stretched out her hand to her little butt, and probed under her buttocks, it was indeed wet, and she peed emotionally, no wonder she was about to cry.

Guan Jing quickly changed Bao Ni's wrappings, then threw the child to Zhang Yun's care, while she went out to wash her hands, and when she came back, she brought a plate of newly bought peaches.

Zhang Yun leaned against the wall, holding a cloth tiger to play with Bao Ni. Guan Jing put the peach in his hand to his side, climbed up the kang, and said to him: "The old man and his family are here today. After chatting with them for a while, I think some of the old man's words are quite reasonable, so I want to discuss it with you when you come back."

Zhang Yun is rescuing the cloth tiger from Bao Ni's mouth. I don't know what's wrong with this child recently. Is it going to grow teeth or what? Jing and the others had to be extremely careful from time to time, for fear that she would stuff something messy into her mouth again if she wasn't paying attention.

After finally snatching the cloth tiger out of Bao Ni's mouth, I was afraid that she would throw it aside in a hurry. After hearing Guan Jing's words, Zhang Yun replied: "What did the old man say when he came over? ? You can learn from me."

Guan Jing taught Zhang Yun what Old Master Guan had said to him during the day, and he also expressed his opinion when it was over. He felt that what the old man said was quite reasonable. I don't know much about these things, so it's better to listen to the opinions of the elders.

Zhang Yun heard the words and thought for a while, but he didn't have any opinion on what the old man Guan said. He was willing to say that for his own benefit. With the old man's current status, it was already a great deal of face for the old man to come and guide him personally after receiving his distress letter. If they are picky about anything, they really don't know what is good or bad.

So when he heard Guan Jing told him that the house was too small, he thought, should he buy a bigger yard, or remodel the current house?Both have pros and cons, and it's really hard to choose.

So Zhang Yun threw this question back to Guan Jing. After all, his family has always been his outsider and Guan Jing's insider. It's better to listen to his wife's family affairs.

Guan Jing was also a little embarrassed when he heard the words. After thinking about it for a long time, Guan Jing said to Zhang Yun: "Brother Yun, I really don't want to leave here, or we should expand."

Guan Jing has a very special feeling for the courtyard they are living in now. He got married in this courtyard, and some of them are Bao Ni, and he was granted a royal order. Guan Jing, in short, after living in this courtyard, their life will be very smooth. You say it is a superstition, a letter, or whatever. Anyway, Guan Jing feels comfortable living in this courtyard and does not want to leave.

Now that the daughter-in-law has already said so, Zhang Yun also agreed, and the couple decided after discussion that there is no need to bother others about the house remodeling, just find Uncle Zhong who built the house for Uncle Guan and his family last time. Yes, that person and his family are familiar with it, so you can use it with confidence.

As for Mrs. Guan's suggestion that their family needs to add new people, both Zhang Yun and Guan Jing felt that there was still time to discuss it after the renovation of the house was completed, and they might still trouble the old man and his family by then.

Now that everything has been discussed, the sooner the matter should be done, the better. Guan Jing turned around and found the money box, took out some banknotes from it and handed it to Zhang Yun, saying: "Choose a time to go to the county Yali, buy the land around our yard, and I will go to Uncle Zhong tomorrow and tell him about the reconstruction of our house, and see if he has any good ideas."

Zhang Yun looked at the banknotes in his hand, then at the banknotes left in the money box, thought for a while and said to Guan Jing: "Daughter-in-law, you see that our family is not short of food and clothing. The money is still there, and it can't produce any value. Now that the family is about to increase the number of people, there will be more places to use the money. Why don't we keep some of the remaining money as turnover, and the rest Take out the money to buy some land or shops, even paying rent is worse than letting these guys lie in the money box and waste it."

Zhang Yun said this after careful consideration. He is a modern person, and he still has some understanding of some simple financial knowledge. It is going to depreciate, and the money in your hands will only become less and less. If you want to avoid this situation, you can only convert the currency into something that is easy to store value.

Zhang Yun is a person who does not have much concept of financial management. It is impossible to do business in his current capacity, but he still has a general concept in his heart, because no matter what era it is, good farmland that is easy to cultivate Shops and shops with superior geographical location are worth investing in, and this is even more obvious in the not-too-developed Dayong Dynasty.

Zhang Yun told Guan Jing what he thought, and Guan Jing was not stupid, he knew what Zhang Yun meant, and he quickly understood what Zhang Yun meant. He had heard people say that officials do not rely on their masters People living on a salary, thinking about it today, it really is like this, so he came to Zhang Yun's side with the money box in his arms, and the couple began to count the cash they could use.

Although their family doesn't have many places to get money in, they also don't have many places to spend money. The rent collected from the field is enough for their family of three to eat, wear and use for a horse aunt.

Zhang Yun is the captain of the soldiers in the army, and the only direct supervisor under him is Marshal Li Wei, who is also a frugal person. During the usual New Years, they just want to be soldiers, and there is no need to worry about it. express.

So their original property plus Zhang Yun's salary, and some of the rewards he got for his meritorious deeds, add up to more than 900 taels. This is only counting the silver bills, not those The result of broken silver.

Because the family was about to start a big construction project, Guan Jing left more than 400 taels as turnover, handed the whole 500 taels of silver notes to Zhang Yun and said to him: "I will give you all these. If you want to buy land, it is still a shop." You can decide for yourself, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask my little uncle when you go to the county, he has worked in the yamen for so many years as a knife and pen clerk, and he will definitely understand these situations very well."
