[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

With the support of her family, Mu Yan felt much less pressure, and the harvest in the field would be able to last until next year's autumn harvest. Right now, more than half of the food matters have been resolved, but the emergency items have not yet arrived, and Liu said that she is pregnant. You have to confirm it yourself before you can rest assured.There is also the patient in the room, Mu Yan can only buy wine to scrub his wound every night, and the medicine is running out, so I have to find a chance to get some more medicine for him, otherwise it will not be fun if the wound becomes inflamed .

In this way, going to the market has become a top priority. I only found out after asking at Aunt Zhou’s house that the biggest market of the month will be in four days. After returning, Mu Yan told Liu and her younger siblings about the market, and the children immediately laughed happily. Jumping again, even Mrs. Liu was happy.

In the past few days, Mu Yan was busy going around every day, cooking medicine and porridge for the man in the room without telling Liu's every day, and boiling two extra pots of water in the morning and evening to wipe his body and change his medicine.

On the morning of the fourth day, Mu Yan rushed to the kitchen before dawn. Mrs. Liu had already lit a fire to bake pancakes and cooked a pot of rice soup. Seeing Mu Yan, she greeted her to wash up and come to eat.

Not long after, Xing Chen and Mu Yu also got up, the two children were very excited to know that they could go to the market together, they finished washing and sat at the table at an unprecedented speed, even Liu's speed was a bit faster than before.Mu Yan found an excuse to bring the meal to the house, ate the pancakes herself, and then fed the rice soup to the person on the bed.

After tidying up, Mu Yan hid those jewelry close to her body, and put all the money at home in the satchel she carried with her.When I went out, I saw Xingchen and Liu Shi each carrying a big bamboo basket, and even Xiao Muyu was carrying a small bamboo basket. One big, two small, three people and six Xing Xing stared at her.

Mu Yan walked up to Mrs. Liu and took off her bamboo basket and carried it on her own back: "Aunt Liu, don't carry this when you are pregnant. If there are many people on the set, you just need to keep an eye on Mu Yu."

After speaking, he took Mu Yu out of the house first, and teased Mu Yu along the way, saying that he would buy her chickens and ducklings and feed her back. The group of four talked and laughed and walked to the entrance of the village. Two ox carts in the village were parked by the roadside and waited. People who go to the market.

It was still early and there was no one on the bus. After waiting for a while, several people who went to the market came one after another, and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou were among them. Mu Yan asked strangely: "Aunt Zhou didn't say we were together last time."

Aunt Zhou whispered in his ear: "Isn't it because you are afraid that people will find out that you forgot? I told your uncle so that I can help you get some things. What can you weak and weak little ones get?" .”

Just as he was talking, he heard a "moo", and the ox cart slowly set off on the road. Along the way, everyone asked Mu Yan if she was healthy, and finally she didn't reveal her secrets under Aunt Zhou's reminder.

During the chatting between you and me along the way, Mu Yan learned that this was the first year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty.Last year, there was a severe drought in many places. Ying Tianfu submitted a memorial to ask the emperor to change the name of the country, and the emperor followed God's will and changed the name to Jingyou.

This year, the world is ripe, and the emperor issued an edict to halve the national grain tax for the common people to cultivate.The market is located in Chenliu County, which is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. It is only a day's drive from the county to Kaifeng, and the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture is the famous Bao Qingtian.

Listening to everyone's discussion, time flies by.Seeing that the city gate was right in front of them, the ox cart stopped in the open space outside the city, and when the driver agreed to go back, everyone went their separate ways.Because Mu Yan still had to pawn jewelry, she handed over part of her money to Mrs. Liu, and asked Aunt Zhou to accompany her to buy cloth, cotton, etc., and agreed to meet at the entrance of the medical center in the east of the city in two hours. People act separately.

Mu Yu and Xingchen followed Mu Yan and Uncle Zhou to the east of the market. If you want to pawn jewelry, you can't hide it from Uncle Zhou. Mu Yan whispered to Uncle Zhou that her mother left the jewelry.Uncle Zhou said that there are gold shops that accept gold and silver, and the price is much fairer than that offered by the pawn shop, but they cannot be redeemed.Mu Yan said in her heart: Thanks to Uncle Zhou following, otherwise she would have been cheated to death by the pawn shop.

Uncle Zhou took Mu Yan and the other three to find a time-honored jewelry shop and went in. There was a small counter in the corner of the shop with three large characters "receiving gold and silver" written on it.As soon as he came to the front, the little girl came up to meet him and asked, "Do you want to sell gold and silver or buy gold and silver?" The tone was gentle, and there was no trace of contempt on Mu Yan and the others because of their shabby clothes. Mu Yan's affection for this store has greatly increased.

Mu Yan took out the jewelry and handed it to Xiao Er. Xiao Er asked them to wait a moment, then went back to the back hall and invited a craftsman to come over. A note was taken on the face, and it was written: "Six taels of gold, one tael of silver, seven taels of silver, three taels of fire consumption, seven taels of silver".The second brother took Mu Yan to the counter to get the money, and the three of them went out.

"Girl, although you don't remember anything from this illness, you are much more sophisticated in handling things than before. You have never been to these places before, and you don't look scared. You are not afraid of people cheating you." Uncle Zhou was strange. Ask Mu Yan.

Bad, Uncle Zhou began to doubt, Mu Yan laughed dryly for a while before saying: "Uncle Zhou, I tell you, you have to keep it a secret. Even the stars don't know about this." Mu Yan began to pretend to be mysterious.Then he told Uncle Zhou a story that was bestowed by God, and Uncle Zhou was dumbfounded.It took a while to arrive: "Hey, let me tell you why you are different from before? It turns out that there are gods giving you advice. Don't worry, I won't tell others, not even your Aunt Zhou. good."

Once you have money, you can buy things. Uncle Zhou took the three of them to watch while walking. When they walked to the grocery store, Mu Yan bought some clumsy things such as dishes, crock pots, and a few baskets of charcoal; I bought white rice and white noodles, and went to the butcher shop to buy a few catties of pork ribs. Of course, I inevitably bought pork offal like all time-traveling heroines. Naturally, seasonings are indispensable when buying meat. Mu Yan and her group went to buy salt and sugar. After a series of seasonings, I feel that I have bought enough.

When she was about to meet Liu Shi and the others, she heard Mu Yu whisper, "My sister agreed to buy chickens and ducklings."It was only then that Mu Yan remembered that she had promised her to buy chickens and ducklings at the door of the house, and she hurriedly comforted her and said that she would go buy it now, because she had too many things on her body, so she had to temporarily store all the things she bought in the grocery store, please Uncle Zhou Take my siblings to the place where live chickens and ducks are sold.

There is a small street for buying and selling live animals in the market. There are chickens, ducks, piglets, etc. There is also an old man leading a large and a small goat for sale.When Mu Yan saw the goat, she thought that goat milk is a nourishing thing, and it is very good for children, pregnant women and patients, so she stepped forward to ask the price.The old man said: "One big and one small two sheep only need half a tael of silver."Mu Yan did some calculations, felt that the price was not expensive, so she paid to lead the sheep, and bought a rooster, four hens, ten chicks and four ducklings, and put them in a bamboo basket and took them with her.

Coaxing Mu Yu to be happy, the group went back to the grocery store to pick up things and rushed to the agreed place.Sure enough, Mrs. Liu and Aunt Zhou had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that they bought so many things, Mrs. Liu couldn't help wondering where did Mu Yan get so much money?Mu Yan didn't explain, so she took Liu Shi into the hospital first.The doctor asked for a pulse and said that she was more than three months pregnant, and the pulse was stable, but some malnutrition needed more supplementation.Hearing this, Mu Yan nodded again and again, and Mu Yan, who followed them out, went back to the medical center on the grounds that she had lost something, bought some commonly used antipyretics and wound medicines, and then went out to reconcile with everyone.

After everything was done, Mu Yan invited Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou to have a simple meal at a roadside noodle restaurant, and then rushed to the gate of the city to meet everyone.Because I bought too many things to fit, I had to ask the two villagers in the same car to take the ox cart from the neighboring village to go back.On the way back, Mu Yan counted the money in her hands. Mrs. Liu bought various cotton cloths and cotton for 730 Wen, and the medical clinic spent more than 500 Wen for asking for pulses, prescribing anti-birth medicine, and buying wound medicine. The clumsy cups, plates, pots and other things cost a total of two taels of silver, and the purchase of goats, chickens, ducks and meals cost less than one tael of silver. Now all the money in the family is only four taels of silver and more than 900 Wen.

It seems that money is difficult to earn and good flowers are not distinguished from ancient to modern. Mu Yan also found that the bustling market in the Song Dynasty can be seen along the way just now. I really want to see the picture on the river during the Qingming Festival. From what I have seen, it takes a lot of money to make money in ancient times. Only brains will do.It seems that the next market needs to come again by myself.

Back in the village, the cart full of food and clothing was met with stares from the villagers.However, what the patriarch said earlier carried great weight in the hearts of the villagers, and for a while, no one dared to say right from wrong.The bullock cart sent Mu Yan and his party to the door of the house, and with the help of Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou, they moved the things into the house one by one. After the packing was over, it was already dark and Mu Yan simply asked Uncle Zhou's family to cook dinner at home. Because of the large number of people, Mu Yan burned the cut pork in a large pot, steamed a large pot of white rice, and fried a few dishes. For a while, the family was full of laughter and laughter, which was very like New Year's Eve.

In the early morning of the second day, Mu Yan was woken up by the rooster crowing in the yard. She couldn't help complaining that she was troublesome. It would be good to buy a few chickens and ducklings. At most, why buy a few hens to lay eggs? Lobbying to buy another big cock, now I don't even need to sleep.After slowly getting up and cleaning up, he went to see the person on the bed, and saw that his breathing was steady and his pulse was strong, and he seemed to have recovered a lot.Mu Yan hung her heart for a few days before putting it back in her stomach.He went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. In the kitchen, Mrs. Liu had already mixed rice bran and vegetable leaves to feed the chickens. Seeing Mu Yan coming in, she hurriedly got up and poured the washing water for Mu Yan.

Mrs. Liu said timidly while cooking at the side: "Eldest sister, we bought so many things yesterday and spent so much money, the following days should be tight. I can't talk too much if there is a patriarch, but I can live my life." You have to be careful with your budget, and you won’t be able to spend money like that in the future.”

Mu Yan nodded while wiping her face when she heard Liu Shi's words: "Yes, I didn't spend less money yesterday, but it can't be like this every day. Our family should also find a profitable business. In addition, Aunt Liu will be with you in the future. I don't have to be so careful when I speak, we are a family and we always live like this." After speaking, Mu Yan put away the towel and went out of the kitchen.
