Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Xiang Yuan thought about it secretly, and felt that the problem was not serious.It's still early to leave the hometown for the exam, if he can earn some money, he doesn't have to be cheeky to borrow money from Xiang Li when he wants to leave the hometown for the exam.

Afterwards, Xiang Yuan went to several bookstores, which were basically the same, and those who could sell calligraphy and paintings on consignment had similar conditions.After much consideration, Xiang Yuan decided to cooperate with the first company.

After setting the date for handing in the calligraphy and painting, Xiang Yuan picked out a thick copy of "Law of the Great Liang" in the shop, and it cost him two silver coins. .

No wonder it is not easy to study, and the cost is too high.

"Daliang Law"?

Zhao Shen didn't quite understand the book Xiang Yuan bought.Like Xiang Yuan, shouldn't you buy an anthology for the exam or the latest palace exam selections for reference?How did you buy the book of the law?

Seeing that Zhao Shen was puzzled, Xiang Yuan refused to ask, and couldn't help thinking of making fun of him.

"I think my imperial examination is hopeless. I should study the law carefully and find a way to enter the yamen and become a teacher."

Master?petty official?

Is this something the proud Xiang Yuan can do?Zhao Shen stared at him like a ghost, not believing it at all.

Seeing that he successfully tricked Zhao Shen (Da Wu), Xiang Yuan felt happy, and his mouth began to be mean again. "Don't worry, even if it's a small official, you and I will be the most powerful criminal master."

Zhao Shengong was disgusted and didn't want to talk to Xiang Yuan.The husband-in-law who made cheap remarks to him didn't bother to care about it.Anyway, if it is true, Xiang Yuan is indeed worthy of the word "sister".Although he tried his best not to admit it!

How could Xiang Yuan not be aware of Zhao Shen's careful thinking, so he took the initiative to change the topic. "Just kidding, if I really run to become a teacher, my mother will cry down the entire wall of Weeping Willow Lane."

I didn't believe it at all, okay?

However, Xiang Congzi's words were quite right, Li Shi's reaction when he heard that Xiang Yuan wanted to be a petty official appeared in his mind, and Zhao Shen couldn't help but cock his mouth.According to Li's temperament, he would definitely cry, make trouble and hang himself, crying until the street wall is light.

But having said that, if it wasn't for the same appearance, Zhao Shen would doubt whether Xiang Yuan in this life is the same person as in his previous life!

"The law is a very useful thing. Think about it. If you are lucky enough to be an official, but you don't understand the law at all, isn't it obvious to be fooled? Reading is good, but you can't just study hard. The ultimate goal of our study is to become an official. , I want to do my best to do good things for the court and benefit the people. Being a parent official and familiar with the law can also prevent the tragedy of the people under the rule being controlled by the wealthy family from happening again."

Xiang Yuan was talking about that.He also remembered that it happened in Huaishui in the early years of Jing'an.The local tyrants deceived the magistrate's ignorance of the law, took advantage of loopholes in the law, and used hidden households as bait to almost control the entire land in Huaishui.The local people lost their land and became cheap tenant farmers. In times of famine, they were starved of food and their corpses floated for thousands of miles, which caused the most serious civil unrest in Jing'an at the beginning of the year.It is precisely because of this that the hidden households and fields that have lasted for decades have been effectively improved, thus enriching the Jing'an treasury and laying the foundation for Emperor Jing'an to reform the government.

Xiang Yuan said that he was lofty, but in fact it was just to cover up the fact that he didn't understand the laws of Daliang's past dynasties at all.It's pitiful for him to come from a different world where everyone is equal before the law to the Jing'an Dynasty where the imperial power is supreme and life and death are at every turn. Why can't he study the law so hard to save his life!

But Zhao Shen didn't know. Hearing what Xiang Yuan said, Zhao Shen's heart was full of emotion. He never thought that Xiang Yuan was so concerned about the country and the people. This sentiment is so noble!I can't help but feel a little better about him.

Enjoying Zhao Shen's rare approving eyes, Xiang Yuan was in a great mood, the two of them wandered back home, after dinner, Xiang Yuan locked himself in the study and began to think about how to paint and write.

Zhao Shen sorted out his dowry, picked out two horses of plain color and delivered them to Mrs. Li himself.Mrs. Li accepted the gift, and her mood improved, but she still held her mother-in-law's money and "instructed" Zhao Shen a lot of things that should be paid attention to. Nine out of ten things were how to serve Xiang Yuan well.Zhao Shen's left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he didn't take it seriously at all.Mrs. Li is a strong outsider, as long as she is dealt with on the surface, the rest is nothing to worry about.

The dowry money plus the money I had accumulated in the past few years, and the money my father forced in before I got married, totaled 350 taels.Not too much, but enough for him to do things.

Just entering the New Year's Eve, all major cloth manufacturers are eager to sell old goods.Zhao Shen plans to go out in the next few days to find out the price, and if it is suitable, he will buy it. By the second half of next year, these old goods can bring very considerable profits.

Mrs. Li asked the little girl Ah Ting to stare at Zhao Shen, and when she saw him greet Xiang Yuan, she went out, and hurriedly dressed and ran to Xiang Yuan's study, and discussed with him how to use Zhao Shen as a dowry.

Xiang Yuan has a headache, and Li's family is pretty good most of the time, but when it comes to Xiang Yuan's imperial examination, he becomes extremely unreasonable, and even wants to marry Zhao Shen as a dowry!

"Mother, don't worry, I know the travel expenses and so on, and I have ways to earn money. Jin Yan's dowry is his own, and I will never use it."

"Son, mother knows that you feel sorry, but isn't there nothing we can do? Besides, since he has entered Xiang's family, he is a family. Do we have to separate the money so clearly?"

Then why don't you marry your dowry to your eldest brother and sister-in-law?

Xiang Yuan slandered from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't poke Li's heart and lungs like that.After all, it is all because of Xiang Yuan that Mrs. Li is so fussy.So Xiang Yuan had no choice but to persuade Li Shi patiently, saying all kinds of good things, and finally dispelled Li Shi's thoughts temporarily.

Rubbing his head, Xiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw the half-written word.I still have to tell Mrs. Li not to knock on the door if there is nothing special, otherwise his calligraphy and painting will not be completed until some time ago.

At this time, Zhao Shen was looking for news from cloth villages.The fabric he was looking at, because it was really unsalable, was placed at the bottom of the shop, unremarkable.

After inquiring about five or six houses in a row, Zhao Shen walked until the soles of his feet were covered with calluses, and his back was sweating slightly, so he found a tea shop and sat down, ordered a pot of hot tea, a few yuan of refreshments, and slowly rested his feet.

The outsiders of the tea shop come and go, and there is a lot of hawking, which is very lively in the market.

Looking at such a lively scene, Zhao Shen was surprised at his relaxed and joyful mood.In just two days, his tense nerves showed signs of relaxing.

If Xiang Yuan has always been such a person, he is willing to spend his life with him.

If he just pretended for a day or two to gain his trust, Zhao Shen's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Xiang Yuan, who was missed by Zhao Shen, was concentrating and splashing ink, and finally wrote a picture that he was satisfied with all morning.Xiang Yuan has imitated Yan body since he was practicing calligraphy at a young age. His face is plump and majestic, his structure is broad and magnificent, and Xiang Yuan himself is a person who is carefree and informal. On the basis of Yan body, after more than ten years of honing , and gradually develop their own style.The dialect is majestic and majestic, and the mind of the audience will be moved by it.

It's just that Xiang Yuan is not well-known outside the world now, and he is just a small student. Although his handwriting is good, he can't sell it for a good price.If you want to imagine what you saw in the calligraphy and painting shop before, a calligraphy and painting can easily cost one tael of silver, and it will take time to accumulate.

Xiang Yuan is not in a hurry, his handwriting is good, no matter what, it will be worth a few coins, and he will gradually become famous in the future, the price is only a matter of time.The words are easy to say, but the remaining two paintings are a bit difficult.Ink painting pays attention to the artistic conception, when the inspiration comes, you can draw fine works with just a few strokes.On the contrary, if there is no inspiration, if you force yourself to paint, the quality of the painting will be quite poor.

In winter, it gets dark quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the golden sky will fall to the west, and the twilight will merge.Xiang Yuan came out of the study, and met Zhao Shen who came back late, followed by a porter.Xiang Yuan took a closer look, and it seemed that the two burdens were all cloth?

After Zhao Shen paid the porter, Xiang Yuan handed Zhao Shen a cup of hot tea and asked, "Jin Yan, is this the cloth you bought? It seems to be out of date?"

Taking a sip comfortably, I felt that the cold spleen and stomach were much more comfortable, and the hands holding the teacup also eased from the frozen state.

"Well, I bought this kind of outdated one, which will be useful in the future."

Xiang Yuan looked at Zhao Shen suspiciously, thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what the outdated fabric could do, so he threw it away.After all, he said that he would not interfere with Zhao Shen too much.

"As long as you have a plan in mind, let's eat first."

After buying so much cloth yesterday, Xiang Yuan didn't say anything, but acted like he trusted him. Zhao Shen was quite satisfied and decided to go out and buy more in the next few days.

At the same time, a tall and thin shopkeeper of a fabric shop in the city was worrying about these old goods.Seeing that the new year is coming to an end, these old goods are overstocked, and they still take up space. On weekdays, when you meet villagers who are reluctant to buy new cloth, they only buy them by a few feet. When will a large piece of cloth be sold, let alone here There are so many horses!While worrying, the shop assistant came over excitedly and said that someone is buying these old goods, but the price is not high.

It doesn't matter if the price is not high, the key is that it is a good thing if someone buys it!The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the staff to inquire clearly. After the news came back, the skinny shopkeeper had a strange expression on his face.

The person who bought the cloth was actually the little brother married by the boss!It's done.

The thin shopkeeper hesitated in his heart, fearing that he would offend his boss by selling it to the little brother of the Zhao family who didn't understand the market.I don't want to talk to the fat shopkeeper of another fabric shop, and the thin shopkeeper will lose these worries.

The fat shopkeeper said that the little brother of the boss is a concubine and should not be favored.Not only will the owner not blame him for selling things to him, but he will be happy instead.After all, it is true that the money is transferred to one's own hands, and it is not known who is cheaper if it is held in the hands of others.
