Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

After solving the trouble caused by the shabby settlement, Qian Dayong and Qiao Jiwei went to the mountain to pick grass after breakfast the next day.

As soon as the two of them left, a sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the village, followed by a few tall and thick attendants, who looked very difficult to mess with.Walking down from the sedan chair, a figure in a bright Confucian shirt, holding a white fan, looked around strangely, looking out of place in this backward village, everyone thought it was a high-ranking official from the city.

As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he asked where Qian Dayong's family lived.Passers-by saw that he had a strong background, and they were secretly worried about Qian Dayong.But he also told the truth about shopkeeper Guo.

Shopkeeper Guo then got into the sedan chair, and the bearers walked in the direction of Qian's house together.

Seeing a guest coming to the house, dressed brightly, he should be a noble person who has never met before, Mother Qian was very attentive to him, thinking that he was a person with the same status as a county magistrate, and she put away her usual harsh attitude towards weavers , and turned to smile.But there is nothing to entertain, only herbal tea.

Shopkeeper Guo thought that Qiao Jiwei and Qian Dayong were brothers, so he asked Qian's mother, "Where's your youngest son? I have something to do with him!" He had seen how powerful Qiao Jiwei was yesterday, and felt that this family should be The little ones call the shots.As for the big one, nothing to worry about.

Mother Qian poured tea for Shopkeeper Guo, "Hey, that's a bad time for you to come. They just left and went up the mountain to collect herbs. They won't be back until about two hours later. Why don't you wait?"

Shopkeeper Guo has nothing important to do today, and it is his most important thing to discuss with Qiao Jiwei. By the way, he will inspect the craft of making hemp clothes and see what secret recipe they have.It would be good for him if he could see some tricks.So he bowed his hands to Qian's mother: "Then let's bother you for a while."

The temperature gradually turned hot. After a while, Qiao Jiwei and Qian Dayong couldn't stand the high temperature on the mountain anymore, so they had to go down the mountain.

As soon as Qiao Jiwei and Qian Dayong reached the door of Qian's house, Qian's mother came out in a hurry and told them that there were guests in the house, and they came from the county.

For this reason, Qiao Jiwei was quite surprised. He had only been selling some clothes in the county for the past ten days, and he hadn't made any friends.

There were a few men dressed in uniform sitting in the courtyard. Their foreheads were dripping with sweat, and some of them even showed their breasts, probably because they were uncomfortably hot.Looking at this posture, Qiao Jiwei guessed that the visitor was not good.

Before entering the house, Qiao Jiwei raised his hand to block Qian Dayong's footsteps: "I'll go in by myself."

When I entered the room, I saw the guest in his 40s, dressed gorgeously, with a slightly fat body, shaking a white fan fiercely.

Seeing Qiao Jiwei come in and look the boy up and down, he closed his fan with a "shua" sound, and without standing up to greet him, he said coldly, "Are you the Erlang of the Qian family?"

Qiao Jiwei's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he smiled all over his face, but the smile didn't have any hint of flattery or flattery, it was rather welcoming.It means that the visitor is a guest, let him understand who is the master here: "Exactly."

After speaking, he added some tea to shopkeeper Guo's teacup, and said with a smile: "There is no expensive tea in this valley, but the taste is sweet, and we have nothing to entertain, so we will use this tea to make a fool of ourselves." This has given shopkeeper Guo enough face.

Now it's time to explain why.In the past few months, Qiao Jiwei has neither written any poems and essays that have been circulated by many literati, poets or ordinary people in the market, nor has he been named on the gold list.Presumably it must have something to do with dyed sackcloth.

Qiao Jiwei didn't ask why he came, but just waited for him to confess.

Shopkeeper Guo raised his life to his lips, sipped his tea, and gave Qiao Jiwei a rewarding smile, "Recently, I heard that you are young and promising, so I came here specially to pay my respects. I am also a clothes seller in the county town, so I have nothing to do today. The things are ready, a small gesture is not a respect." After speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Jiwei.

Judging from the fineness of this jade pendant, it can only be regarded as a low-grade fire color, and the price is only one or two taels of silver.

At this time, Qiao Jiwei had already guessed eight or nine points of Guo's intention.But there is no one in the world who would give him a gift from his peers, things are not that simple.

Qiao Jiwei returned the jade pendant to shopkeeper Guo: "You will not be rewarded for no merit. I dare not accept this jade pendant. What does the boss want me to do for you?"

The shopkeeper Guo wanted to send the jade pendant back to Qiao Jiwei, but Qiao Jiwei refused.After several disputes, shopkeeper Guo lost the upper hand, so he had to gently hold the jade pendant in his hand. "The sackcloth in your house is made of bright colors and excellent quality. Aren't you a big loser for only charging two hundred Wen for a sackcloth?"

Qiao Jiwei shook his head: "It's not a loss, but the cost is a bit high."

Shopkeeper Guo put down his teacup, and went on to be a lobbyist: "But think about it, if your dyed linen clothes were made by others, you would still be able to make as much profit as you are now? Why don't you raise the price of the linen clothes now, Make a lot of it. I won’t feel a loss when I get there. I think you are young and have a bright future. I also said these things because you are good at making sackcloth. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t bother Such tongue-in-cheek."

Qiao Jiwei didn't believe that these words were for his own good. Most likely he was afraid that his family's dyed linen clothes would occupy the market, so he made such a bad move.With a faint smile on his lips, he said, "If I drive up prices without authorization, wouldn't it be a profiteering? I want to do these things too, but can the county magistrate agree?"

"A piece of sackcloth costs [-] renminbi, why is it driving up prices?"

Qiao Jiwei smiled wryly, "Two hundred Wen is already a high price for the people in the county, but the shopkeeper is deliberately trying to keep my sackcloth from being sold?"

"It seems that Qian Erlang doesn't plan to cooperate anymore?" After speaking, he glanced at the attendants who were eating melon seeds in the yard, and the attendants stood up one after another.Seeing the change in the situation, Qian Dayong moved his eyes coldly to the front of the house, and blocked the way of the attendants to the main house with his body.At the same time, several men surrounded the Qian family's courtyard.It was the sharp-eyed Weaver who saw that the momentum was not good, so she called her husband here temporarily.

Shopkeeper Guo closed his fan and slapped it hard on the table, "Okay! Then let's ride a donkey and read the libretto!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and said goodbye bitterly, walked to the steps and accidentally stepped on the air with his right foot, and fell on his stomach. "Ah!" The followers stepped forward to help him up one after another.Several people helped him walk towards the entrance of the village step by step, and he groaned from time to time in pain.

Qian Dayong rushed into the room first, with a worried look on his face: "He didn't threaten you, did he?"

Qiao Jiwei shook his head: "No."

Afterwards, a weaver woman came in with anxiety written all over her face: "I heard that he is the biggest garment merchant in the county. His surname seems to be Guo. He is not an easy master to deal with. Several merchants have fallen into his hands before." , you two should pay attention in the future."

Qian Dayong nodded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we have our own discretion."

Mother Qian witnessed the whole process in the locomotive room, and couldn't help but click her tongue, "What a disaster, I shouldn't have bought him in the first place!"

When the women heard this, they all spoke up for Qiao Jiwei, "Dayong, don't say such things. Now your family is in trouble, and it's not his fault. If others find fault, the emperor can't control it. God now you It is the right way for a family of three to help each other, and the whole village will naturally help us."

The earth was scorched by the scorching sun all day that day, and Qian Dayong was so hot that many beads of sweat flowed out of his body, and he felt that his whole body was greasy with sweat.There are many weavers present at home, and they cannot take off their clothes in public.At night, Qian Dayong had no choice but to walk into the river when the night breeze brought coolness.Qiao Jiwei felt uncomfortable without taking a bath for a day, so he followed Qian Dayong to the river.

The two walked one after the other, without saying a word.

When he reached the riverside, Qian Dayong took off his clothes first. Qiao Jiwei accidentally saw Qian Dayong's strong and tall figure in the dark, with a broad chest, Kong Wu's powerful arms, and full muscles.Meeting Qian Dayong's gaze, Qiao Jiwei quickly turned his head away.Qian Dayong was very puzzled by this, could it be because of his ugly figure?But he looks okay.

Qian Dayong plunged into the river step by step, and his whole body was submerged in the river not long after.Qiao Jiwei still took off his clothes slowly.

When Qiao Jiwei entered the river, he deliberately kept a distance from Qian Dayong. The distance between the two in the water was like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl separated by the Milky Way.Qiao Jiwei always shoots his eyes in the opposite direction to Qian Dayong, and Qian Dayong's body is like a tiger and wolf in his eyes.

In the middle of washing, Qian Dayong suddenly called out: "Rub my back."

Qiao Jiwei had no choice but to refuse, so he had to move slowly in the river.Moved to Qian Dayong's side and splashed some water on Qian Dayong's back with his hands, then there was no more...

Qian Dayong waited uncomfortably, and couldn't help complaining from behind, "You rub it for me, how can it be done by just splashing water?"

Qiao Jiwei had no reason to disobey, so he had to rub Qian Dayong's back repeatedly with both hands. Qian Dayong's skin was very smooth and elastic to the touch.But rubbing and rubbing, there is a strange feeling in my heart, but I can't be too far away from Qian Dayong's body.Qiao Jiwei couldn't rub it anymore, so he shook his hands and went back to the original place.

Qian Dayong was unclear in the water, so he said, "Hey, give me another rub."

Then Qiao Jiwei went ashore first, and after getting dressed, he suddenly had a whim and wanted to play tricks on Qian Dayong, so he secretly hid Qian Dayong's clothes.Sitting on the bank weeding and playing, imagining Qian Dayong's embarrassment in not being able to find clothes in his mind.

When Qian Dayong went ashore and walked to the place where he took off his clothes, he found that the clothes had disappeared, "Hey, where are my clothes?"

Qiao Jiwei suddenly remembered the spider spirit in Journey to the West, "Maybe it was taken away by an eagle!" After speaking, he laughed.

Sensing something strange, Qian Dayong walked up to Qiao Jiwei and covered him like a shadow.Feigning anger: "Is it your fault?"

Qiao Jiwei looked forward, but didn't look at Qian Dayong directly. "How can it be!"

Qian Dayong leaned over and grabbed Qiao Jiwei's collar, "It's you! Where did you hide my clothes?"

Qiao Jiwei raised his head and performed the innocent expression so convincingly that he almost shed two lines of tears, "I'm wronged."

Qian Dayong bent down and lifted Qiao Jiwei up, "You don't want to hand it over, okay!" After speaking, he lifted Qiao Jiwei up and down in the air, and Qiao Jiwei swayed as if he was doing somersaults.

Qiao Jiwei was dizzy from being shaken, but he couldn't break free, so he could only yell.

A woman's conversation suddenly came from a distance, Qian Dayong jumped into the water again, hiding himself tightly in the water, like a big black fish.
