Zhang Yun's ancient life

For the next period of time, Zhang Yun and his team members ate and lived together, trained together, and got to know each other through mutual contact, which eased the tense atmosphere.

The team members admire Zhang Yun's ability very much, and Zhang Yun himself seems to have returned to the company, and now he feels like leading troops back then.

Time flies, and it is autumn and winter in a blink of an eye. Due to everyone's hard training during this period, the ace team in Zhang Yun's mind has taken shape.Because it is early winter, the best season for animal fur in a year, Zhang Yun held his chin, thought about Guan Jing's empty closet and the thin body of his mother-in-law, so he generously pretended to be a public servant and exercised In the name of the team, he took his team into the mountains to hunt.

Zhang Yun is working hard for Guan Jing's wardrobe, but the Guan family is worrying about Guan Jing's dowry. Because of Aunt Guan's health problems, Uncle Guan's family has not left any savings over the years, so Zhang Yun sent it over. Except for the mule Uncle Guan who was going to stay behind to pull the cart, the dowry gifts were all intended to be sent back with him.

But the dowry is a betrothal gift, which is really unreasonable, so Aunt Guan melted her own dowry and sent it to the jewelry store together with the gems sent by Zhang Yun. The mountains and land were filled together in the dowry.

In this way, the dowry can finally be seen, and Uncle Guan is worried about the money for the banquet. Qingshi Town is a big town, and people in the town have lived here for generations, and they are more or less related, like marriage. For such an important event as a funeral, marriage, basically every family has to send someone out, and the Guan family is a big family in the town. Even if Guan Cheng is not favored, he is still the eldest son of this house, so Guan Jing's marriage Relatives who live farther away are also sure to come.

Uncle Guan silently calculated in his heart, based on one table for every 10 people, at least 1 tables should be set up in his house, and one table would cost half a tael for ordinary dishes and drinks, and the wedding banquet was in the early spring , When it’s time to eat, vegetables and meat are extremely expensive, and the budget for one table and a half is definitely not enough.

Uncle Guan dug out all the money in the family and gathered it together to calculate it. It was less than five taels of silver. This is because his wife's health has improved recently and she stopped taking medicine.

There are still more than four months left in the divorce period, even if you risk your life, you won't be able to earn the poor ten taels of silver.Uncle Guan sat on the bed and smoked dry cigarettes until the room became foggy. Aunt Guan coughed from the smoke, and opened the windows and doors for a while before she recovered.

She walked up to Uncle Guan and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Uncle Guan didn't reply to her words, he just tapped the cigarette stick on the edge of the table vigorously and said, "Find out my new padded jacket later, I will use it tomorrow."

Aunt Guan was a little puzzled and asked, "Didn't you say that you would keep that padded jacket for Jing'er to wear when she holds a wedding?"

Uncle Guan filled the tobacco pot with tobacco leaves and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so let's take it out and wear it."

On the second day, Uncle Guan came to the ancestral house of the Guan family. After seeing the gift for his mother, Uncle Guan explained his intention of coming. So I want to take out this year’s dividend.”

When Second Uncle Guan heard this, he frowned and said, "Brother, it's only been half a year since we separated, how will we pay the dividend?"

Uncle Guan didn't seem to notice his younger brother's ugly face, so he said naturally: "It's okay to pay half a year for half a year, and there was no agreement that it would take a whole year to distribute dividends."

Second Uncle Guan was speechless. Seeing that her husband was speechless, Second Aunt Guan was no longer hiding outside the door to eavesdrop. He lifted the curtain and came in and said, "Uncle, you can't say that. We're only going to get married next year, but our family Fu'er is going to go out at the end of the year. An uncle should be doing some makeup, so how can he come to us and ask for money?"

Uncle Guan sneered and said: "Makeup is makeup, and dividends are dividends. What should be given to me will not be less, but what should be mine can't be taken by others. Hmph!"

Second Aunt Guan raised her eyebrows immediately when she heard this, her mouse eyes widened, and she said viciously: "You have lived outside all these years, and the old lady has been raised by us all the time. It is already out of consideration not to let anyone punish you for your unfilial crime." How can you have the face to ask us for money now."

Uncle Guan squinted at him and snorted coldly and said: "When my second child and I were adults, my father gave us 6 acres of good land for good luck, in the meaning of Liuliu Dashun. I have been away from home for many years. Have I ever asked you for a piece of grain? If those corns were exchanged for silver, there would be enough chickens, ducks, fish and crabs on the mother's table."

Uncle Guan saw that his wife couldn't keep his brother down, so he resorted to bitter tricks and said pitifully: "Brother, the family has had a hard time in the past few years since you left. You only see things going out but you don't come in. You spend all your capital. Seeing that your niece is about to get married, we really can't afford the money."

Uncle Guan didn't even look at his younger brother, lowered his head, took a sip of tea and said, "I thought so too, and I planned to help you when needed, but I was working for the county government two days ago, and I heard that the knife and pen officials It is said that the income of our shop is good this year, and the tax alone is more than 50 taels. I thought about it and the tax is collected according to [-]% of the annual income of the shop. It seems that the business of our shop is really good. You must not It’s short of money, so I’m here.”

Second Aunt Guan almost felt offended when she heard that, how could the two shops in their family have so much income? It turns out that Guan Cheng was better when he was there, earning 200-300 taels a year, but after Guan Zhao accepted it for Some profits are small, and they are always short on things for customers. Gradually, there are no people coming. It is good that the two shops can make ends meet now. How can there be any profit? So much tax money is just for others to see, because the eldest daughter is going to marry her natal nephew at the end of the year, and she does this because she wants to earn some face for her daughter, who knows that this is lifting a stone and throwing a stone at her. own feet.

Second Aunt Guan knew that the money had to be paid out today, otherwise if the news got out that her daughter would be seen by her husband's family, she would get into big trouble for deceiving the government, she gritted her teeth and gritted her teeth. He said word by word: "Brother is really well-informed. It's good that the shop has made some money this year. You sit here for a while, and the brothers and sisters go to give you money."
