Love Eater [Quick Transmigration]

In this era, it is unimaginably difficult for an ordinary peasant family to confess a scholar.

For example, Namu's 32 families rented and planted [-] mu of land, and each mu can produce about [-] shi of wheat per year, and can harvest about [-] shi of grain a year. After paying half of the rent, the family can keep [-] shi about.

According to modern calculations, twenty shi of grain is about 2300 to 2400 catties.

Of course, food alone is definitely not enough for a family of five to eat, wear and chew, so their family will plant rapeseed, broad beans and other crops in the field in winter, and usually raise some chickens and ducks.

In addition, Mu 32 is a bit of a carpenter, and he goes to the town to do odd jobs from time to time, and his family lives relatively well in the village. They can eat enough, wear warm clothes, and have a little surplus.

As for the private school's annual fee, it costs four stones.

That's all, gritted his teeth and tightened his belt, but he could still get it out.However, the cost of books, pen, ink and paper during the study period is not affordable for ordinary peasant families.

According to the current market price, a stone of grain fluctuates between 300 and 400 renminbi, and 1000 renminbi is consistent, which is exchanged for one tael of silver.

In other words, the main income of the Mu 32 family from farming is 6 to 8 taels of silver a year.

On the market, an ordinary thread-bound book of about 40 pages will sell for 3 taels of silver.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the four treasures of the study, are not cheap either.

Not to mention anything else, just the paper that must be consumed daily for reading.The cheapest jute paper costs more than 200 renminbi, not to mention the more expensive white linen paper and rice paper.

In addition, studying is tantamount to being out of production. Not to mention the loss of a normal year's labor force in the family, one has to bear the risk of failing repeatedly in the future and getting nothing.

It is also because of this that since the family provides for Mu Ming to study, Lu Wei can only plant land at home and work as a shepherd for the wealthy households in the village.

Fortunately, they grew up together, and they have a very good relationship. Since Mu Ming was enlightened at the age of four, he would come back to teach Lu Wei that night when he read any words in the private school.

So although Lu Wei can't say how deep his knowledge is now, he can write, recognize, and settle accounts. It's not like most ordinary peasants are so blind.

Otherwise, Mu 32 would not propose to let Lu Wei help manage Mu Ming's shop.

As usual, Mu Ming spread pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table in Lu Wei's room, and then wrote a queer word in beautiful Chu Henan script on the white and delicate rice paper——

"If you don't love lovesickness in your life, you will love it, and you will hurt lovesickness. The body is like a floating cloud, the heart is like a flying catkin, and the breath is like a gossamer. There is a lingering fragrance in the air. How can I hope for a thousand gold wanderers. When the syndrome comes, it is exactly when ? When the lights are half dim, when the moon is half bright."

It was Xu Zaisi's order to win the laurel.

Lu Wei stood aside, looking at Mu Ming's skillful and well-shaped characters, thoughts gradually arose in his heart.

Farmers like Mu 32's family have very transparent income, and I haven't seen how they borrowed foreign debts. How can they afford Mu Ming's education for more than ten years?

He couldn't help but think of the original body's memory, he had seen his own baby's swaddle, although it was a little old, the lining was made of high-quality soft and smooth silk, and the face was made of expensive and colorful Shu brocade .

Both Mu Tu and Mu Xixi were reluctant to throw it away, so they took apart the swaddling clothes according to Mu Ming's idea, washed them and carefully sewed a dozen purses, stuffed them with dried flowers and sold them, and they were sold well price.

If the swaddle is still like this, doesn't the original owner have other valuable belongings?

In other words, won't the person who entrusted the original body to Mu 32 pay any compensation?

The original body is not without doubts about this, but the Mu family has been kind to him in nurturing him, and Mu Ming has a good relationship with him, even if there is such an inside story, he does not intend to pursue it.

In this world, who has no selfishness?

Besides, Mu Ming has been smart since he was a child, so he is indeed more suitable for studying than him.

After Mu Ming finished writing the last word, he put the Langhao brush on the inkstone, smiled at Lu Wei and said, "Brother, it's your turn."

Lu Wei stepped forward with a smile, picked up the pen that Mu Ming put down calmly, and dipped it in thick ink.

Since the original body didn't intend to pursue it, he naturally didn't have any objections to it.

He had been an emperor for decades in ancient times, and although his strokes were not in the style of everyone, they were strong and powerful.

Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was the resonance of the soul, the original body's handwriting was [-]% like his, so he didn't need any hesitation in writing.

As usual, Lu Wei copied the Que Zhe Gui Ling, and he had completed today's homework assigned by Mu Ming.

Mu Ming picked up the piece of rice paper that Lu Wei copied, dried the ink on it, and said: "If you don't love love in your life, you will love love, and you will hurt love. The body is like floating clouds, the heart is like flying catkins, and the breath is like gossamer... "

After chanting, he looked at Lu Wei, and his fair cheeks gradually blushed: "Brother's writing is getting better and better, I will put this queer word away."

Lu Wei looked at this brother who grew up with Yuan Shen, and felt that something was wrong.

Because of his lack of knowledge, the original body didn't notice anything strange about Mu Ming's practice of entering his room at night and asking him to copy love poems and love words, and then collect them carefully. He just regarded it as a brother teaching him how to practice calligraphy.

Collect the words and sentences written by him, and compare them with the past to see if the words written have improved.

But Lu Wei has never seen anything, how could he not understand Mu Ming's hidden thoughts?

Speaking of which, Yuan Shen and Mu Ming are both 19 years old.

Mu Ming can also say that it is because he has to concentrate on the examination of fame and hope that he will get a good relationship in the future, so he has not married a wife hastily so far.

And in this ancient time where early marriage and early childbearing were common, it was a bit strange that the original body had never even been engaged.

Although he is an adopted son, he will definitely not have a share in the Mu 32 family's property in the future, but he is strong and able to work, he is good at recruiting people, and he can read and write. It is extremely easy to book a suitable marriage in the village things.

For example, the blacksmith's family has only one daughter, Qiuqiu, and they are looking for a son-in-law to inherit the family business and craftsmanship. Lu Wei's conditions are perfect.

Another example is the apple-faced little daughter Qiaoling of Mu Fuhu's family. It is a bit low-marriage for him, but it is not as good as the other girl's willingness, and it is not completely unattainable.

The original body has not yet opened his love, seeing that Mu Ming has never been engaged like himself, so he has never thought much about it.

"Erlang, what do you think of Qiuqiu?" Lu Wei asked tentatively, "I'm [-] years old this year, and I haven't found anything yet. I think if she asks someone to propose marriage, her family should nod."

When Mu Ming heard this, his expression changed immediately. He put the writing paper in his hand on the table, and pressed it with a paperweight with a "snap".

Realizing that his attitude was a bit out of temper, Mu Ming quickly adjusted it again, and then said earnestly: "Brother, I have been studying hard for so many years, why did I get admitted to the scholar? Isn't it just to make my family shine and give my parents a sense of comfort. Will your old age allow you and Xixi to live a good life?"

"Qiuqiu is just a village girl. Although she is born with some beauty, she is short-sighted and petty. How will she help my brother in the future?" Mu Ming continued, "My brother is going to the county town to help me manage the shop. Is it really true? Want to inherit the blacksmith's family business?"

"Brother." Mu Ming held Lu Wei's hand sincerely, and looked up at him, "I take everything about you in my heart, you don't have to think so much. I told my parents , leave your future marriage to me, and you must find someone who is worthy of your eldest brother, so that you can be satisfied."

Now that Mu Ming had reached this point, Lu Wei had no choice but to say: "Erlang has always had ideas and has a lot of knowledge, so I will follow Erlang's arrangement."

Mu Ming heaved a sigh of relief, walked to Lu Wei's bedside and sat down. Seeing the wild daisy planted there, he thought it was very annoying, so he pulled it out and put it aside.

Xixi is also fifteen this year, and it's time to get married.

He has already taken a good look at her for her. He met her in the hospital examination, the same year from another town.

The same year's surname is Li, and this year is seventeen, which is about the same age as the younger one. Although he did not pass the exam this time as a scholar, he still has a lot of opportunities in the future.As for the family background, where can a family that can afford their children to study for more than ten years be worse?

No matter how you say it, it's much better than the Mu 32's family who planed food from the ground.

No matter where you talk about it, it is a satisfactory marriage.

My shop has made a lot of money in the past few months, and when the time comes, I will add a generous dowry for her, so that Xixi can stand up in her husband's family, and it will be considered the brother-sister relationship in this life.

As for Lu Wei, he will not give it to anyone.

Why did he have to be a scholar?

Apart from the reasons he said before, it was also because he wanted to discourage his parents and let Xixi marry someone else.

What's more, only when he becomes strong can he keep Lu Wei in his palm, and finally let this man truly belong to him.

"Brother." Sitting on the bed, Mu Ming raised his fair and beautiful face to Lu Wei and smiled, "I will take you into the county in two days and take care of our shop. Because it is the first time for elder brother to enter the county, There are some things I need to explain to my elder brother, so I won’t leave tonight, I will go to bed with my elder brother and have a good talk.”

Lu Wei didn't seem to know anything about Mu Ming's thoughts, and said with a smile, "That's very good."

So this night, Lu Wei fell asleep amidst Mu Ming's nagging and subtle teasing, which was not boring.

The only feeling is that, looking at this twists and turns to the point of impracticability, this Mu Ming might have been a gay gay virgin before he came to this ancient world.

However, there is something different about it.

……

Two days later, Mu Ming took Lu Wei to the county seat as he said before.

After walking by water for a day and a half, Lu Wei didn't know if he didn't go, but he was really surprised when he went.

In the year since Mu Ming was admitted as a scholar, he not only rebuilt a house in his hometown, but also set up property in the county town.

Although it is just an ordinary green brick courtyard, it is very neat and tidy, with a lot of flowers and plants planted, and an old lady who does laundry and cooking, and a servant who guards the gate and cleans the courtyard rooms.

As for Mu Ming's very profitable shops, the owners of the deeds and the names registered with the government are all Lu Wei.

"There's nothing I can do about it." Mu Ming explained with a smile, "I still have to concentrate on the exam, so it's better to leave it to my elder brother."

Merchants in this era were more valued, similar to the Song Dynasty, and there was no law that merchants were lowly and not allowed to be tested for fame.

Although Lu Wei grew up with Mu Ming, he loves brothers and is always a foreigner.

So Mu Ming's trust is not insignificant.

Lu Wei recalled those years when he was the president of the original world, because he didn't like pure money-based transactions, he never spent money to support anyone.

Unexpectedly, in this ancient world, people would spend a lot of money trying to take care of her.

...it actually feels pretty good.

In fact, those shops have already formed a fixed business model chain, and Lu Wei doesn't need to worry about it, that is, at the end of the month, the shopkeepers will come over to check the accounts, and they will do everything from purchase to sales.

Basically the rhythm of sitting and collecting money.

As for Mu Ming's "concentrate on studying and test his fame", it is completely an excuse.

Mu Ming, a time traveler, although the way he showed has been assimilated by the ancients, he is still a modern person in his heart, and he does not agree at all that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", "a man should stand in the court and achieve success." A lot of achievements", this concept that has been smashed to the end with the test scores in this life.

Because he didn't agree with it, he wasn't integrated in his bones, and it was quite difficult to be admitted to Juren, so he actually planned to stop at the status of a scholar.

How difficult is it to be admitted as a Juren?

Let's put it this way, the exam is held every three years, and only two to 3000 people are admitted nationwide, which is several times more difficult than the modern exams for universities like Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Although Mu Ming has some brains, he is not a particularly powerful academic master in modern times. He is satisfied to be admitted as a scholar, and he does not want to devote his limited life to such a difficult imperial examination challenge.

So Mu Ming and Lu Wei's life in the county is actually similar to a honeymoon except that they don't sleep together.

The two of them are usually inseparable from Meng. When they have nothing to do, they go climbing, boating on the lake, watching the scenery, listening to the opera, tasting the dishes and fine wines of the ancient county, learning how to ride and shoot and hunt. Their lives are very rich.

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is late autumn when the leaves are flying.

During this period, Mu Ming sent a lot of money to Mu's family, and also put Mu Xixi's marriage on the agenda, but he didn't intend to take over his parents at all.

He doesn't want anyone to disturb the two-person world between him and Lu Wei.

Until that day, a cultivator appeared in the county, and the two-person world created by Mu Ming and Lu Wei had to be broken at last.

The author has something to say: Mr. Lu: Hey, someone is trying so hard to fall in love with me at a high price?This mouthful of soft rice delivered to my mouth, should I eat it, or eat it, or eat it...
