Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

It was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it seemed that the New Year was coming soon, and the Luo family hadn't prepared anything yet.Shen Chenai was worried that there would be no way to entertain guests at home during the first lunar month, so today he planned to take advantage of the good weather and go out to buy some new year's goods.

I chose the largest pair of cotton shoes from all my cotton shoes, put them on and tried to walk a few steps. Shen Chenai, who felt that there was nothing wrong with it, left Laurel and Xiaoshan at home and gave them to Mrs. Chen to look at, while she walked slowly. They rushed to the market street in the city.

Although Shen Chenai walked very slowly, he left early today.So when he came to the market street, some of the sellers who came to the market hadn't put their things on display.

Shen Chenai saw that there were still few people on the street, so she planned to go shopping later.So he changed his way and came to Wenhua Street, planning to go to Jixianzhai to see the little boss whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

But when he came to the gate of Jixianzhai, he saw that General Tie was guarding the gate.Shen Chenai was very puzzled, because the little boss's home was in the backyard of Jixianzhai, so every time he closed the door at night, he would tie the door of the shop inside with wooden strips.Locking the store door with a lock from the outside like this can only be done by the little boss when he is out.

Shen Chenai raised her head to look at the sun, and felt that it was just past seven o'clock in the morning, where could the little boss go so early?

While Shen Chenai was studying the iron lock on the door, the person he was looking for came back.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Shen Chenai and said to him: "Is it Brother Chen? Why did you come here so early?"

Shen Chenai turned around quickly when she heard the words, and saw that the person standing behind her was indeed Xu Jian.So he said to him: "I went out to buy some things today, and when I came to your place, I wanted to come and have a look."

Hearing this, Xu Jian took out the key from her pocket, stepped forward to open the door, and then said to Shen Chenai: "It's very cold outside, hurry up and talk."

Shen Chenai heard the words and walked in. To be honest, the store is not too warm.When Shen Chenai walked in, she deliberately looked at the hot wall, and found that there was no temperature at all, so it can be seen that it has not been used at all today, so the little boss just came back after going out last night?

Xu Jian ignored Shen Chenai's doubts. He went to the back of the bookstore first to heat up the hot wall in the store.While Shen Chenai wasn't paying attention, she hid a calligraphy and painting in the back room.

Shen Chenxi helped him remove all the wooden boards blocking the windows and put them aside. After the two of them were busy for a while, they finally finished the bookstore.

At this time, the newly hired guy from Jixianzhai also came to work. Shen Chenai adjusted her clothes after seeing this, and then asked Xu Jian: "Where is Dabai from your family? Why didn't I see him today?" it?"

It's no wonder Shen Chenai would ask such a question, Dabai's gander has a strong sense of territory.Every time Shen Chenai came over in the morning, Dabai would stretch his neck out to have a look, and would waddle back to the yard when he saw someone he knew.

Now Shen Chenai has been helping out in the store for a long time, and the big white goose hasn't come out yet, which is really a strange thing.

Hearing Shen Chenai's question, Xu Jian almost blurted out an answer that Yue Chong picked up.Fortunately, his reaction was fairly quick, and he immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips, and then said after a while: "I've been feeling a little unwell these days. I moved there temporarily to borrow, and Dabai was taken with me."

Hearing that Xu Jian was not feeling well, Shen Chenai immediately asked with concern: "How is your body now? I know an old doctor. His medical skills are very good. I will introduce him to you."

Xu Jian smiled slightly when she heard the words and said: "It's all old problems, it's not a big deal. The person you mentioned is Dr. Lu, I know him too. When I had the most serious leg disease the year before last, I still asked him for help. The prescription of medicinal wine that came here is still very good to use."

Shen Chenai asked a few more questions after hearing the words, and found that Xu Jian was suffering from an old disease, which could not be cured overnight, so he could only encourage Xu Jian, and at the same time, write down his symptoms in his heart , I plan to ask Xu Jian when I meet a good doctor.

Seeing that the sun outside had already risen so high, Shen Chenai got up and said to Xu Jian: "Little Boss, I still have to go out to buy some things, so I won't bother you today, I'll be leaving first."

Seeing this, Xu Jian got up and sent Shen Chenai out. After Shen Chenai turned around and waved goodbye to him, she walked through the small streets and alleys to the market street.

At this time, the market street was already crowded with people, and Shen Chenai quickly walked into the crowd. He first walked along a street from the beginning to the end, and compared the quality and price of the goods on both sides.Choose a stall with satisfactory quality and reasonable price, and then go there to buy things that you think you can use during the Chinese New Year.

This is Shen Chenai's first big New Year's purchase. Except for some basic things, since he doesn't know the local customs, he can only ask while buying.

So when he finally felt that he had bought enough, the sun had already risen to the very center of the sky, and it seemed that it would be noon soon.

With a bunch of things in his hands, Shen Chenai felt a little tired, so he brought these things to Luo Ding's butcher shop.

In the past, he only saw the good business in the past few days from the books, but when people really came in, Shen Chenai realized how good the business is now.

It’s not too much to say that the Luo’s butcher’s shop is crowded with people. People who come to buy things bring home a few kilograms. The sharp-eyed Shen Chenai saw a lot of people, all carrying half a pig. Just pay and leave.

Everyone in the shop was busy, and Shen Chenai retreated when she saw the steps that had been going in.He thought it was better to forget it, go home, and save trouble in the shop for other people's work.

Shen Chenai walked home with her things, while Xu Jian opened the door for business as usual.The Yue family side is more lively. Ever since the notice of buying tiger bones at a high price was posted a few days ago, there have been constant inquiries from the corner gate.

The purchase price offered by the Yue family was really high, and each payment of tiger bones would cost at least 200 taels of silver in terms of weight.With such a high price, it's not like no one has thought about using the bones of other animals to get away with it. However, after those bastards and swindlers knew that they were buying the Yue family, most of them stopped thinking about it.

There are still some who don't give up and insist on giving it a try, and now they are all squatting in the prison of the Yamen with bruised noses and swollen faces.Dagan's yamen gates are all sealed in the small year, and they will reopen to ask questions after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so before that, these few people will have to squat inside, and this year, there is no need to think about being able to go home Been there.

After making a warning to the monkeys, although the front of the Yue Mansion was quite deserted, most of the people who would come to ask the price were those who really had something in their hands.

Things like tiger bones are not very easy to preserve. If you are not careful, it will either rot and deteriorate, or it will dry up and lose its medicinal properties.Therefore, people who have tiger bones will sell them quickly while they are in good condition, and will keep some, which is also a very small part. Therefore, although the Yue family has a lot of momentum in buying tiger bones these days, the tiger bones that they actually got are Not a few pieces.

Yue Chong looked at the few sparse bones, although he felt a little anxious, but he had no other choice, so he had to stick to those few bones and use them first.

However, he was already pondering some other methods in his heart. No, there was another notice on the Yue family's purchase of tiger bones yesterday, saying that he was looking for information about the presence of nearby mountain tigers. Impatient, I plan to go directly to fight the tiger.

Next to the notice posted by the Yue family, there were several people standing guard all the time. The guys knew that the owner was in a hurry, so they didn't dare to neglect. They just waited there to see if anyone came to sell tiger bones.

Who knew that today's idea was really too vague. After waiting for a long time, not only did none of the tiger bone sellers come, but also two extremely unpopular people came.

The two people who came to the purchase point were Niu Da Niu's father and eldest brother. These two came here today to ask someone to pass a message to Niu Da Niu in Yue's family.

The two of them were beaten up by the gatekeeper at the corner gate just now, and then they were beaten out of the street of Yuefu with a stick. Although they were so embarrassed, the two of them still did not intend to give up, so they turned their heads again Came to the purchase point on the concierge side, to see if it could be used as a breakthrough.

The guys in the purchase point didn't do their jobs well today, and they were annoyed. They didn't want to pay attention to seeing the two people who drove out from the porter find their way again.But a guy thought it was boring to wait here, so when the Niu family father and son came to talk, he still answered a few words at random.

This made the father and son of the Niu family, who had just been shut down, overjoyed, so the father of the Niu family said to the guy in a low voice: "My little brother, to be honest, my daughter is serving in your house now." Old lady. A few days ago, I heard that she was pregnant, which made me a little worried about her body. Can you please pass the message to me, my little brother, to let me know something about my daughter's recent situation? "

Hearing the words, the little fellow Niu Daddy glanced at him and said, "Are you out of your mind? I'm just a guy who works for the Yue family. Can I go to a place like the inner house? Only people who don't want to die will do it." If I go over there, I haven't lived enough."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Niu said quickly: "Don't worry, little brother. My daughter is being favored by the old man and she is pregnant again. I think the fortune in the future will definitely not be small. As long as you are willing to help us, I will ask my daughter to speak well of you in front of the old man, and then not only will you not be in trouble, you may even become a housekeeper or shopkeeper."

After hearing this, the little guy gave Niu's family a sideways look and said, "Hey, hey, you have such a big tone, and you're not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue. Who is your daughter? Tell me."

When Old Man Niu heard the words, he thought that the boy was tempted, so he hurriedly said: "My daughter is called Niu Da Niu, and she came to the mansion to serve her last month."

The little guy was almost overjoyed when he heard the words, he pointed to the Niu family and his son and said, "I think who you two are talking about? It turned out to be the Niu girl, so don't worry about it, she just got angry a few days ago I lost Master Jiu, and now you are detained in the inner courtyard and are not allowed to come out, so this time your thoughts are in vain."

Hearing this, Old Man Niu said anxiously: "How is it possible, my daughter has a big belly. It is the root of their old Yue family, how dare Yue Jiu lock her up?"

Hearing this, the little man said dismissively: "Wan Yinger, bought for a few dozen taels of silver, is any different from a cat or a dog. It is her luck to be pregnant. Stay aside and give birth to the child obediently. Maybe Master Jiu is happy." , what else can I reward her with. With a full stomach, she thinks that she is invincible and no one dares to provoke her, and she is not the one who wants to die."

The Niu family was furious when they heard the words, but the young man was not afraid of them at all. The Niu family father and son looked at the few strong and strong partners around him, but in the end they still didn't dare to do anything, so they had to walk away in despair.

The rest of the people in the purchase point looked at the father and son who had left, and when they got excited, they asked the boy who had just spoken.

The little guy heard the words and replied: "The father and son are the father and the eldest brother of Niu Da Niu. You all know Niu Da Niu, she is the one who waited in the old man's house. This is not shaking with a big belly. After a meal, the master packed it up and locked it up. These two are here today to inquire about the news."

After listening to him, one of the older guys said: "You people are still young and have little knowledge. Why did they come here today to inquire about the news? I guess they want someone to send a message to find their girl money."

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other and asked the man why he made such a remark. The man said triumphantly: "I have a brother who works as a thug in the Wang family gambling house. He told me that the father and son of the Niu family often go in and out recently. In the gambling house, it’s all about losing more than winning. After two or three months, I’ve already lost nearly 100 taels of silver in the gambling house. That Niu Da girl’s deed of prostitution is only a few dollars, and they must have already lost it all Yes. The Wang Family Gambling House is not a vegetarian either, and these two must have been forced to pay for their debts, so they thought of their daughter looking for them."

Everyone suddenly realized when they heard the words, and looked at the father and son with special disdain. The two old gentlemen actually have to live on women who sell themselves as servants. How can such people have the face to wander around? The group of them had already found a place where no one was around and tied them with ropes and hanged them to death.

Besides, the father and son of the Niu family who were scared away, the boss Niu was anxiously saying to his father: "Father, what should I do? My little sister has been locked up. If we can't contact her, the Wang family will The people here will really arrest us and sell us to the mines to do coolies.”

Father Niu glanced at his son and said: "Why are you so anxious, your little sister is pregnant now, as long as the Yue family still wants this child, your sister will be fine. When the child is born in the future, they How should I put it, that child is also half of the blood of our Niu family. I am his grandfather and you are his uncle. No one can change this. As for now, if your sister can't find it, isn't there someone else? , I haven't seen those two children, Yuegui and Xiaoshan, for a long time, let's go to Luo's house to see the two of them."
