The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

As for the women, after all the dishes were served, they all came to their assigned tables.

These tables were specially arranged for the women by the old village chief's wife.

As they ate the delicious meat, the woman and the children she brought with her all smiled with their eyes curved.

After the meal, everyone enjoyed it very much.

When the guests left, Lu Tianming took charge and distributed the remaining dishes to each family.

Every family was very happy to be able to have a share of the dishes at the banquet.

Even if there is no meat in it, the dish is still very fragrant with so much oil!

Everyone helped to wash the remaining tables, chairs, benches, dishes, chopsticks, etc. and returned them to the villagers.

This wedding banquet is finally over.

On the second day, Lu Tianming, Yao Xiancheng and other villagers went to the county town to order furniture.

Although they do not plan to live in the new house permanently, they always come back during the holidays or when they have holidays.

Therefore, they attach no less importance to their new houses than other people in the village.

This time, Wang Gui also took the opportunity to catch up with Lu Qingqing's carriage.

However, while other families took their money to order furniture, he went straight to his previous shop.

The shopkeeper didn't expect to see him again, so he simply said hello.

I saw him take out a rolled-up painting from a torn sack.

The shopkeeper didn't take it seriously at first, but as the drawing paper was opened and he saw the contents inside, his expression became more and more serious.

Finally, he asked his servant to go and invite Mr. Xie Wu to come and take a look.

Wang Gui was worried when he saw the shopkeeper's look.

After finishing this painting, he gave it a simple aging effect.

However, the tools are limited and may not be perfect.

But according to his experience, unless one is very knowledgeable, it is difficult to see the problem with this painting.

Soon, an old man dressed as a scholar was seen following the waiter, and the two of them hurried over.

Because he ran so fast, the old man was breathing rapidly and his goatee was twitching.

After he saw the painting, he took out a pair of reading glasses and stared at it carefully for a long time.

While watching, he kept muttering to himself curiously.

"Strange, strange!

This technique is clearly the writing style of the great scholar Wang Gui, so why is there a change in the artistic conception?

Could it be that this was written by the great scholar Wang Gui before his death?"

As he said this, he glanced at Wang Gui curiously, but seeing that he was a farmer, he didn't look at him any further.

Instead, he focused his attention on the painting again. After reading the content of the painting, he began to look at the paper and the brush and ink.

Among them, I spent more time looking at the places where Wang Gui made the paintings look old.

After reading it, he went to whisper a few words to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's face flushed with excitement, but he forced himself to remain calm.

After respectfully seeing off Mr. Xie Wu, he politely invited Wang Gui to sit down.

"Sir, I am a sincere man, and I will speak my mind directly.

Judging from the painting technique of yours, it really looks like an authentic piece.

But looking at the paper and ink, they don't look authentic.

To be honest, if I sell it, I’m not sure how much I can get for it.

I'll give you a price, and see if it's worth it."

As he said this, he stretched out five fingers.

"Five hundred taels, what do you think?"

Wang Gui shook his head: "One thousand five hundred taels!"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened.

"No, no, I don't know how much this painting can sell for!

But I can't give you that much, how about eight hundred taels?"

Wang Gui continued to shake his head.

"That won't do, this is an heirloom from my family.

This is the only treasure in my family. If I sell it for less, my ancestors will scold me!

The minimum is 1,300 taels!"

When the shopkeeper saw that he was willing to lower the price, his eyes lit up and he continued to negotiate.

After some fierce bargaining, the painting was finally sold for nine hundred and fifty taels.

When Wang Gui left, he still carried his torn sack out the door.

The only difference was that because of the bargaining, Wang Gui's cheeks turned red, his eyes sparkled, and he was excited.

In fact, he even fell in love with bargaining.

This was completely unfamiliar to him before.

In the shop at the back, the shopkeeper was secretly surprised when he saw him carrying the torn sack out of the door.

If the shopkeeper had not known the transaction process just now, he would never have imagined that this torn sack contained a huge sum of money of 950 taels of silver!

After walking a short distance, Wang Gui looked back from time to time.

Seeing that no one followed him, he picked up the sack and walked towards the school where Dazhuang was.

Now that I have money, I must buy some school supplies for Dazhuang.

He thought about the things he had used when he went to school in his previous life, and silently calculated the approximate amount of silver.

Although I have some money now, it is difficult to sell it again in this place, so I still have to make sure that I spend my money wisely.

As he calculated, he inexplicably understood why most people like to save money.

This taste does seem to be quite wonderful.

Thinking about how I spent money lavishly in my previous life, I secretly felt that I was a bit stupid back then.

Well, one can't dwell on the past.

It was that kind of embarrassing moment that made me want to scratch my toes just thinking about it.

After Wang Gui arrived at Yining School, he successfully called out Dazhuang, and the father and son went shopping.

On the other side, after everyone else had expressed their demands, Lu Qingqing began to describe what she wanted.

She told the old master about her ideas for floor-standing cabinets, sofas, and wooden toilets, which completely confused the old master.

Actually, the floor-standing cabinet is easy to deal with. The wooden toilet is similar to the armchair here, with a hole in the middle.

Sofas are relatively complicated. If you want a soft feel and comfortable tilt, you need the good craftsmanship of a carpenter.

After confirming that the carpenter understood her needs, Lu Qingqing paid the deposit and left.

When everyone gathered at the city gate, the expressions on their faces were mostly excitement mixed with heartache.

Everyone is used to being frugal, and feels bad if they spend a penny more.

Only Wang Gui carried a lot of bags, and he was even happier when he saw Lu Qingqing.

After getting on the carriage, she took out the gifts she bought for her and Qin Lang.

What he gave her was an exquisite silver hairpin, and what he gave Qin Lang was a set of clothes that he could wear when entertaining guests.

Lu Qingqing didn't expect that he would bring gifts for her and Qin Lang. She wanted to refuse but was rejected by Wang Gui with a smile.

Wang Gui felt a little sorry for her, so he asked her for some spicy diced rabbit meat with a smile.

He had eaten this thing once before at Da Zhuang's place, and it tasted really good.

Seeing that he liked it, Lu Qingqing planned to send him a big bag when she returned.

However, as soon as everyone returned to Baoshan Town, they received bad news.

While Li Rui was killing Japanese pirates along the coast, he injured his lungs in an attempt to save people.

Now the person has been transported back to the provincial capital, and is being kept alive by the doctors there.

The person who came to report the news said frankly that he was dying and wanted to see his relatives.
