I played as an assistant in ancient times

Shen Xiaoye and his uncle looked at each other, then turned to him and said, "What my uncle said is indeed correct, but how can you be sure that the surveillance has been lifted?"

Lu Guan looked around. In the almost endless fields, the nearest group of people were working in the fields a few hundred meters away. He said, "Because the people who are watching me are also watching the young men like me who were thrown into the Imperial College to study.

Before entering school, I was recuperating from my injuries and didn’t notice anyone staring at me. After all, my uncle was a military officer and the mansion had a good set of defenses.

After entering school, I only had one day off, and I didn't notice anyone following me that day.

But why did Shen Heng think I was being watched? "

"This requires a long and detailed story." Shen Changsui glanced around vigilantly, then gave Shen Xiaoye a look.

She called out to Kitty to come back, and then with a thought, a box instantly appeared in front of the three of them.

While Shen Xiaoye was unboxing and showing off the brocade, Shen Changsui talked in detail about his two trips to Wuzhong Mountain and some of his speculations.

Lu Guan was stunned as he listened, and would occasionally interject a word or two.

When the two sides exchanged information, his eyes would fall on the little black cat fighting for Shen Xiaoye's cucumber, and the cat became real.

After listening to Shen Changsui's narration, he said: "So the magical space I thought was just a storage tool, which is a bit useless!"

"It's better to have something than nothing. Look, can you sell this box of floral satin?" Shen Xiaoye was more concerned about this.

Lu Guan shook his head: "Although I was loved by my uncle, I actually had no autonomy in the mansion.

Moreover, my uncle was busy with official duties and accompanied the emperor on military campaigns, so it was my aunt who really took care of him.

A few years ago, when my aunt was still alive, all my living conditions were the same as those of my two cousins.

But ever since his aunt passed away, his cousin's wife took over the household, but she was only doing superficial work, so that Lu Guan had a bit of rebellious tendencies and often wandered outside, constantly distancing himself from the people in the Lu Mansion.

This estrangement is also the reason why I can avoid being exposed.

You should keep it first, and after a year or six months, I will make some friends and sell it to you."

"This is tribute satin. We have to be secretive when selling it, but you can check out the prices in the capital." Shen Xiaoye had already counted them. After giving three pieces to her family, she still had thirteen pieces in her box.

Little Black Cat said: "It turns out that the treasures you mentioned sometimes cannot be sold.

What a pity that the leopard mother did not encounter gold and silver. "

"Even gold and silver are not easy to use. They are stamped with the seal of the previous dynasty. They must be melted down before they can be used as money." Shen Changsui also reminded Shen Xiaoye: "In the future, you are not allowed to take this box outside to use."

"I know that the information exchange is over and you are safe now. The important thing is to finish the inspection." Having said that, Shen Xiaoye stood up.

Lu Guan sat there motionless and said, "Let's chat for a while, it's rare for us to meet each other.

Don’t you want to know what will happen to Derun Cloth Shop? Maybe his family will sell off a lot of their property after this disaster, and you may also be able to buy the shop in Linghe County.”

Shen Xiaoye insisted: "It is not necessary and we don't have the strength to open a shop just to sell ordinary cloth. I hope to finish checking the cloth before your cousin comes back, and then go around the nearby villages to collect some for distribution.

Most importantly, you are not a prince, and my family can’t rely on you at all right now.”

"Do we have to be so realistic?" Lu Guan was shot by an arrow and pretended to be Xishi holding her heart, which made the uncle and nephew laugh.

The time they spent together passed quickly. First, Lu Guan's elder brother came back in the afternoon, and then his uncle came back with the money.

The two parties exchanged money and cloth, and agreed to meet again when the cotton was harvested.

After several hundred pieces of cloth were shipped in two batches, the uncle naturally asked Shen Xiaoye: "I see you have collected another hundred pieces of cloth, plus the more than one hundred pieces yesterday, so you don't need to come down to collect them in the short term.

It would be best if we could rush back to the county town today so we can rest in the rented house."

"Uncle, I also want to collect some coarse cloth.

Take advantage of the fact that the weavers in several villages haven't sold their cloth elsewhere." Shen Xiaoye used the carriages and horses from Lu Guan's manor and the route he took yesterday to make up for the loss to run to several villages. After collecting a hundred pieces of fine cloth, she was left with only one penny of silver.

Now that she saw that there were still 19 taels of silver left out of the 100 taels of silver that her uncle brought, she wanted to collect more at once.

However, my uncle disagreed: "It's too heavy for us to pull it away.

You see, Sui Ge’er can’t even fit all the things in a truck on the other side.

Besides, the old man has received 20 or 30 pieces of coarse cloth at home, so we don’t need to delay here.”

Shen Xiaoye leaned on the tree with his hands and looked at the figures of his uncle and the two boys from the Xin family loading cloth on the other side of the river. More cloth could be put on the mule cart, but not too much could be put on the donkey cart.

She sighed in her heart, "Can uncle come and collect it again tomorrow?"

"No, Xiaoye, you can't become fat in one bite, we have to make the capital work.

Even if we sell part of it on June 28th and then buy it back, it is still feasible.

Besides, you have to think about whether you have enough dyes at home. "My uncle's words were like a wake-up call.

Shen Xiaoye came to his senses immediately. This time, they collected a total of 680 pieces of cloth, and the family invested nearly 100 taels of silver. "Okay, we'll make plans after we sell this batch of cloth."

Even though a piece of cloth weighs less than three pounds, hundreds of pieces weigh nearly two thousand pounds, so their speed of returning home was naturally very slow.

In order to ensure safety, the two animals must be allowed to rest for half an hour and have a snack.

By the time they entered the county town, it was already 1:00 p.m.

"Brother, this road is not the one we took when we rented a house last time." Shen Changsui followed the car in front and turned into the alley.

Shen Changshou turned around and said, "My mother came to see me yesterday afternoon when I was signing the contract with the broker. She didn't like the place, so she found another one.

Come in, turn right from the well, it's the last house." He pulled the mule in front, Shen Xiaoye pushed the cart behind, looking around.

When he walked into the place his uncle mentioned, he knocked on the door and it was his aunt who opened the door.

Huang was wearing a water skirt: "You can come back, I just finished cooking, drive the car in."

When Shen Xiaoye heard this, he knew that the newly rented yard was not small. Sure enough, after entering the door, the yard was spacious, with three main rooms and left and right side rooms.

There is no back seat, but there is a toilet with a shed next to the pomegranate tree.

There are also grapes planted in the yard, which can be used as a shade frame in the central hall.

Looking at the doors and windows everywhere, they were all neat and tidy. She couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, this yard is not cheap, right?"

"Eight cents a piece." Huang brought the water. "It faces south and is large. Originally it was priced at one tael, but we asked to rent it for two years, so the owner agreed to a monthly rent of eight cents.

The rooms have been cleaned and are arranged just like at home. Xiaoye, you can still stay in the upper room of the west wing."

"Let me go in and take a look." Shen Xiaoye pushed open the door. Although the room was a little small, it was clean, bright and spacious.

She took a quick look and saw that there was no kang, only a bed with a mosquito net hung over it.

Shen Xiaoye just turned around and said, "Grandma rented a good place."

Then I heard someone outside the courtyard gate say with a smile: "I recommended it, of course it's good."
