After dressing as a villain, I am addicted to farming
Chapter 50 The Second Uncle in the Imperial Examination
I don't even understand how to control the bear.
As soon as he fell down, Qu Zhong was immediately overwhelmed by the oily smelling pillow under his head.
How did Qu Zhong endure sleeping in such a dirty room every day.
It's midday now, and the light is fine.As soon as he turned his head, he could see the cabinet covered with a thick layer of dust.
By the way, Goldfinger.
Thinking of the words of the system in the space, Qu Zhong was so excited that he even forgot the pain, and hurriedly groped his body.
After touching for a while, I found nothing.
It wasn't until he saw a black mole on his wrist that he had a flash of inspiration and stretched out his hand to hold the mole.
"Enter..."
no response.
"Open Sesame." No response.
Do you want to recognize the Lord with a drop of blood?
But that's not the case, Liu Xinyan just pressed the mole on her wrist and went in.
Did she change the space password?
"Liu Xinyan..." There was no response.
"Medical skills..." He remained motionless.
"Beauty?"
Swish--
Qu Zhong closed his eyes and fell on the pillow he hated, without a sound.
I'll go, such a perverted password.
While cursing, Qu Zhong turned around in this small space.
The previous book said that the space is only a few tens of square meters, and the things that can be put down are very limited.
That's why Liu Xinyan threw away all the things she thought were useless.
But Qu Zhong passed it around now, and found that there were several rows of shelves in the space filled with boxes.
But there was nothing on the empty floor.
Except for a few sacks of unknown things, the other places are empty and there is nothing.
"Then why did she abandon those things?"
Holding his chin, Qu Zhong asked strangely.
But apparently no one in the space could answer that question, he sighed and turned to the shelf for a casual glance at the box.
ginseng.
These two words were pasted on the box, Qu Zhong stretched out his hand to open the box.
Ho!
With such a big ginseng, holding the ginseng and taking a closer look, Qu Zhong finally made sure that he -- he couldn't understand it.
Forget it.
After giving up the years of researching ginseng, he continued to scroll down.
The following things also made Qu Zhong completely speechless, they were all kinds of gold ornaments and some jade carvings.
Flipping through the sack under his feet again, Qu Zhong looked at the sky even more speechless.
Who can tell him what happened to these bags of gold ingots.
Didn't Liu Xinyan pretend to be medical books and medicine talents? Why is it all gold.
After another lap, Qu Zhong finally made up his mind.
There is nothing but gold and jade in it, and nothing but a ginseng.
Is it--
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Qu Zhong thought of the flood in the last century.
Could it be that Liu Xinyan took all the medicinal materials in the space to save people?
After thinking about it for a while, Qu Zhong decided not to think about it. Anyway, for him now, things like gold are more practical.
"I must change that broken quilt."
While muttering, Qu Zhong muttered silently in his heart.
The person lying on the bed immediately opened his eyes, looked around, and found that he was still lying on the kang without moving.
Besides, Qu Xiuyan, who went to boil the water, has not returned yet.
Only then did Qu Zhong guess that the time in this space should be frozen.
The gurgling sound interrupted Qu Zhong's thoughts, and he clutched his stomach only to remember that he hadn't had a drop of water today.
what a sin...
The big family of the Qu family has a really large population. Compared with the previous world, it is simply more luxuriant.
Old man Qu has four sons and two daughters.
The two daughters were married early and only came back during the Chinese New Year.
The eldest son, Qu Kuan, married his wife Xu, two sons and one daughter.
The second son, Qu Zhong, and the third son.
The third son, Qu Hou, married his wife Zhu, and had one son and two daughters.
The fourth son, Qu Ren, married his wife Luo Shi, two sons and one daughter, and now opened a grain shop in the town, which is the property of the father-in-law, but it is not the son-in-law.
In such a huge family, Mrs. Liu has the most say.
Even the old man Qu wanted to give her three points. Mrs. Liu's ability to swear is a master who is well known in all directions.
Therefore, there are not many people in the Qu family who dare to provoke them. Mrs. Liu is really too tough.
When mentioning the three sons of Erfang, Qu Zhong felt his forehead tighten.
The eldest, Qu Xiuqi, is eight years old, and the second child, Qu Xiuhe, is six years old. They study together in the next village.
If Qu Xiuyan is a good seedling with good roots, then these two people are grasshoppers and pests in the seedling field.
Two years ago, she began to follow the Jin family to eat and drink spicy food, and she was raised to be a sneaky, slick, and glib tongue.
Today's appointment was given by Kim's order, and the two went to the town right after school.
As for the third child, Qu Xiusui, he is only four years old now and still doesn't understand anything.
In the book, after entering the school, listening to the nonsense of the two older brothers, they gradually changed their temper.
"Hmph! Wait."
With a cold snort, Qu Zhong pinched his fingers, and the sound of crackling knuckles filled the room.
When he was a child, his grandfather always said that a filial son is born under a stick.
He felt that now was the time to try it.
Anyway, the task was to teach the brats, so he planned to let these brats also take the imperial examination.
He will be an old man, and he will wander around in style in the future.
"Brother, do you feel the chill on the back of your neck?"
While shrinking his neck, Qu Xiuhe shouted to Qu Xiuqi who was walking in front.
The two are now rushing to town excitedly.
In the past few days, the town has heard that delicious water chestnut cakes have been produced, so they have to buy them and go home early while the day is still bright.
"I don't feel it, let's go faster."
Zhou Xiuqi was so focused on eating that he didn't feel any sense at all.
Instead, he thought of something, turned around and confessed to Qu Xiuhe: "When we buy it, we will share a small piece with dad, and everyone else will not share any."
"Understood, mother said we can't separate." Qu Xiuhe quickly agreed, and sang cheerfully.
They didn't know that the two of them would see their mother being scolded by the grandmother pulling her hair by her hair in the town.
from here..
The content of the book has completely changed.
The two brothers, who were supposed to eat and drink well and come back, were misled by Jin and misunderstood that Qu Zhong secretly hated him.
But now the grandma told the truth on the street, the two brothers returned home in a daze, and seeing Qu Zhong lying on the kang again, their emotions were even more complicated.
Seeing the small eyes of the two brothers, Qu Zhong completely ignored him.
He just turned his head and didn't want to talk to the two of them.
He drank a bowl of porridge at night, and now he was already hungry, so he had to recharge his energy and go into town when he could walk in the ground without hindrance.
When he comes back with tools, he will deal with these two boys.
"Go and rest, you have to go to school tomorrow."
Qu Zhong only left his back for the two of them, and his voice was also very indifferent.
When Qu Xiuqi and the two left the house, Qu Zhong immediately fell into a deep sleep and didn't hear anything outside.
"What's wrong with Dad? He didn't even scold us."
Although they were hit in the town, the two brothers still don't know what happened at Qu's house today, and they only think that Qu Zhong is in a bad mood.
I must have known about my mother's stealing.
The two looked at each other, both a little confused.
They know what it means to steal people, but they don't know that Qu Zhong and Jin have divorced.
After all, he is still young, and usually only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, so he still has a little understanding of these grown-up matters.
"Come here..."
Qu Xiuyan stood at the door of the West Wing and waved to the two of them.
"Big brother, big brother."
Both of them were a little apprehensive, and when they heard the elder brother calling themselves, they quickly moved over with their heads down.
Sighing, he patted Qu Xiuhe's head, and Qu Xiuyan led the two into his room.
Then, after listening to the older brother's account of what happened this afternoon, he realized why Qu Zhong was in such a low mood.
"Father, it's so pitiful."
Rubbing his eyes, Qu Xiuhe murmured, he only knew that it was his mother's fault.
But today he walked a lot and didn't even eat water chestnut cake. Now he feels that he can't open his eyes.
Qu Xiuqi, who was two years older, obviously knew what it meant.
Coupled with what he saw on the street today, the balance in his heart is shaking constantly.
Compared with his honest and dull father, he still thinks his mother who is willing to spend money on him is much better.
So he just rolled his eyes, didn't express his opinion immediately, just nodded his head falteringly.
"Hey! Go back to your house and go to sleep."
Seeing that his words were wasted, Qu Xiuyan had no choice but to let the two of them leave.
The second uncle is really pitiful for what happened today, but he usually dotes too much on the children of the second bedroom, and the younger brothers who are used to it just look lazy.
***
Qu Zhong lay on the bed for five whole days before he could walk easily.
So after breakfast that day, he immediately proposed that he would go to town.
"What are you going to do? Your work as a waiter has been taken over by others." Old man Qu was smoking a pipe, squinting at Qu Zhong.
A few days ago, the old patriarch took his Qujiawan clansmen to the next village to seek justice.
Knowing that they were wrong, the Liu family even proposed to use money to privately discuss this matter, and they did not want this matter to become a big one.
One is to worry that the daughter-in-law will not give the old couple filial money for this matter.
Second, I was worried that my son would be arrested and sent to jail if this matter got too serious.
Old man Qu didn't make a decision at that time, instead he came back and asked Qu Zhong.
It would be a fool not to take any money, Qu Zhong of course immediately agreed, asking for 50 taels of silver.
This is what he reckoned casually.
Old man Qu was terrified when he heard that. His family would have to earn 50 taels for five or six years, let alone the Liu family.
Unexpectedly, the Liu family gritted their teeth and agreed.
The Jin family lost face in the town and left Luogu Town on the third day. It is said that he ran away with a passing wealthy businessman.
So now Qu Zhong has a huge sum of 50 taels of silver.
Old man Qu was afraid that he would go to town to spend money. This son is usually reticent, but in fact he has the most thoughts.
"Father, I want to go to town and buy some books."
He was still choking on the black-faced steamed buns brought by Mrs. Liu just now, so he beat his chest while talking.
Until there was a sound---hiccup.
Only then did he feel comfortable all over his body. When he made money, the first thing he would do was to replace it with white flour steamed buns. Eating this black flour every day would really choke him to death.
But as soon as he said this, everyone in the main room seemed to stand still in place.
Mrs. Liu didn't seem to hear clearly, so she asked again; "What are you buying?"
"Buy books." Repeated in doubt, Qu Zhong suddenly remembered that he was the person in his family who most opposed children's reading.
Touching his nose in embarrassment, Qu Zhong didn't intend to pretend to be the original owner.
"I'm going to buy some books for Xiuyan and Xiuqi..."
Then, Qu Zhong started to fool around.
What a painful experience and feels that reading is the only way out, why I must discipline the boys in my family well in the future.
Whatever you do, you have to start reading again, and set an example for your children.
Anyway, no matter how solemnly he said it, Qu Xiuyan, who was about to go to school, said it with a heavy heart.
It was old man Qu who came back to his senses, and hurried out with his grandsons who were going to school.
After the children were all gone, I wiped my sore eyes, feeling very relieved.
"It's a good thing you've grown up at last, go, go."
Patting Qu Zhong on the shoulder, old man Qu turned and went out the door.
As for Mrs. Liu, she was not so particular about it. She had a runny nose and tears, and she had long forgotten her plan to ask Qu Zhong for money.
This son has been a dull gourd since he was a child, with a heavy heart.
I went to school for three years, but in the end I was called back home by my master because of my gloominess.
I didn't expect to have such a long talk today and think so many things in my heart.
"Second brother is a good one." The sister-in-law pushed Qu Kuan into the room where the eldest lived, planning to raise some money for Qu Zhong herself.
After all, among the people that the second uncle mentioned were the two children of their eldest family.
"It's a good one. I, the eldest brother, have misunderstood the second brother all these years."
Qu Kuan, as his name suggests, is generous and honest, he also takes good care of the younger brothers, and works hard to maintain the balance of the whole family.
But in the three-bedroom house, Mrs. Zhu was not so moved.
She kept looking out of the window suspiciously, and didn't even hear Qu Hou's voice urging her to take the money.
"What do you think? Really, I will do it myself."
Not getting a response, Qu Hou went to search for money by himself.
"Hmph! Just your second brother, he's a sneaky bastard, and you're the only ones who believe his nonsense."
Mrs. Zhu didn't intend to get up, but sat on the kang and started eating melon seeds.
"I'm too lazy to tell you."
Qu Hou has long been aware of Zhu's narrow-mindedness, but he still doesn't understand his second brother?
Although gloomy, he was a firm person when he spoke.
Therefore, Qu Zhong, who originally planned to go to the town with only 50 taels of silver, ended up going out with 58 taels of silver.
call--
The words of Zhijun Pavilion are not written in vain, and it is easy to catch this nonsense.
Turning the basket on his back, Qu Zhong felt that he must be in a much more embarrassing state now.
Fortunately, he washed his hair last night, otherwise he would have suspected that there would be lice growing on his head.
To say that the location of Qujiawan is really good.
It only takes more than half an hour to get there on foot, and the road is flat, which is much better than the official road in the previous world.
After paying a penny to enter the city, Qu Zhong looked around like a bumpkin entering the city.
This town is too...
It's depressed.
There are rows of shops in the city, but there are only a few that are actually open, and the others are all closed.
There were very few people on the street, and everyone was dressed in gray clothes.
Even the voices of yelling and selling are very few.
Qu Zhong casually asked an old man, and the shop selling pens and paper was actually in an unknown alley.
It wasn't until I got out of this main street that something strange happened. There were people coming and going in this alley.
There are small vendors and food stalls everywhere.
Huh--
Why is this?
Confused, he walked into the only bookstore in the town, and Qu Zhong made some friends with the shopkeeper, and then asked.
"Jinbao Street."
The shopkeeper was an old man with a white beard, leaning lazily on the counter and yawning comfortably.
"The rent on that street is so expensive, who will rent it?"
Originally, that street was quite prosperous before, but as soon as I heard that that street was valued by a wealthy businessman, the rent increased accordingly.
But the wealthy businessman didn't come, on the contrary, there were not many people to see.
Over time, everyone moved away from that street, and now that street is almost deserted.
tut tut -
Qu Zhong clicked his tongue, it seems that no matter which world it is, there are many people who sit on the ground and raise prices.
"I said, are you here to buy books? If you don't buy books, the old man will go to sleep."
After the shopkeeper finished his gossip, seeing that Qu Zhong still didn't leave, he planned to bombard him.
"Buy, buy, buy."
There is only such a bookstore in a town, which is really unbelievable.
Afraid that the shopkeeper was really going to sleep, Qu Zhong hurriedly turned around and entered the shop, and began to buy books.
"Yo, I bought so many."
The shopkeeper finally came to his senses. Seeing that Qu Zhong had really picked up many books on the shelf, he believed that he really came to buy books.
"The children at home read a lot."
Just kidding, Qu Zhong didn't say that he wanted to read many of these books.
What history books, travel notes.
It's all he uses to understand the world.
There was a crackling sound of abacus, and the shopkeeper became more and more elated.
This is a big mistake. These historical travel notes have not been bought for several years.
Then quietly looked at Qu Zhong's clothes, and immediately defined him as a servant of a rich family in his heart.
"58 taels."
The sound stopped, and the shopkeeper quoted the price.
But when I looked up, I found that the person was squatting in the corner looking at something.After waiting for a while, he came out again holding something.
"Why is this for sale"
What he held in his hand was a lot of books covered in dust, a tall stack.
Just now he was bored, so Qu Zhong casually swept the floor and found that there were many dusty books there.
Curiously, he flipped through a few pages, only to realize that this was a treasure he had picked up.
It turned out to be the "Book of Rites" full of annotations.
Qu Zhong carefully looked at these annotations, and found that the level of detail should be comparable to modern reference books.
"These were sold by a poor scholar, who said they were left by his ancestors."
The shopkeeper fanned the dust that was floating up, frowning.
These books have been in the store for several years, and the ones written in such a mess on them, even the words on the books can’t be read clearly, who will buy them.
"If you want, take all five taels of silver."
Anyway, he bought this book for only two taels of silver back then, and when he met this bully, he just cleared the place and put the others.
Secretly happy in his heart, Qu Zhong didn't show it on his face, and smacked his mouth a few times.
"Those plus these add up to a total of 58 taels. If you sell it, take it all away. If you don't sell it, you don't want it."
Patting the dust off his hands, Qu Zhong acted like you can figure it out.
Seeing that the shopkeeper frowned, he immediately turned around and planned to pat his ass and leave.
"Sell it and sell it."
Reluctantly, the shopkeeper flicked the dust on the book with a feather duster, but his heart was already full of joy.
Thus, the sale ended amicably in a harmonious atmosphere where both parties felt that they had met a fool.
The shopkeeper even put the books neatly into Qu Zhong's basket, and waved him away.
hehe--
Unknowing guy.
While humming an out-of-tune song, Qu Zhong asked the way to a shop selling gold and silver jewelry.
This morning, he specially took out a small gold ornament from the space, just planning to exchange it for some broken silver.
did not expect.
This kind of humble gold jewelry was exchanged for more than 100 taels.
This is unremarkable in Qu Zhong's eyes, the workmanship of this jewelry is simply top-notch in such a town.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw it, he knew that the jewelry could be sold at a good price without having to redo it.
That's why 100 taels of silver came out to buy it.
And he asked Qu Zhong to sell such good things in his shop next time.
Qu Zhong nodded, but he was sure in his heart that he would never come again.
This town is too small, so if you come to both sides more often, it will definitely be remembered. Next time you have a chance, go to the county town.
"It seems that women have better vision."
With a huge sum of money in his arms, Qu Zhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After going to the bank to exchange all the banknotes for scattered silver, Qu Zhong found an empty place and threw the silver and the books he bought into the space.
Only then swaggered to a stall and ordered a bowl of wontons.
"Uncle, there is no carpenter around here."
After swallowing a mouthful of delicious wontons, Qu Zhong still firmly remembered his goal for today.
"Go straight ahead, and when you get to the end, turn left and the first one will be there."
The old man replied without looking back.
Luogu Town is not big, Qu Zhong finished eating the wontons in a few mouthfuls, rubbed his unsatisfied stomach, and planned to buy some steamed stuffed buns later.
The body in this world is much better than the last one.
It's just too delicious, this bowl of wontons seems to be gone after being filled with a shake.
After finally finding a carpenter, let alone loitering, Qu Zhong felt that there might not even be any slag left.
After telling the carpenter about his request, Qu Zhong asked when he could pick it up.
The carpenter smiled honestly: "It will be ready in a while."
It's just a long strip, just find a wooden board and cut it like this.
"Then I'll wait here."
Sitting casually, Qu Zhong stared at the carpenter's hands flying up and down, and soon a ruler measuring half a meter was formed.
The barb was polished, and a handle that could be held was cut at one end.
This giant ring ruler is just fine.
He is not good at beating people with bare hands, but with this ruler, it will be different. In his previous life, when he saw his master beat the children with a ruler, the children burst into tears.
So he came here to order this ruler today.
Putting the ruler into the back basket, today's task was completed, Qu Zhong wandered to the bun shop and bought twenty buns and a roast chicken before heading back home.
With his dilly-dallying nature, he didn't get home until the sun went down.
In the Qu courtyard, Mrs. Liu stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around frequently.
The food in the main room has already been served on the table, only Qu Zhong, who went out early in the morning, has not yet arrived home.
"Isn't it because I met a thief?" Old man Qu frowned worriedly as he tapped his cigarette pouch on the corner of the table.
"I'm fast, why don't I go and have a look."
Qu Kuan was also very worried, wondering if the second younger brother carried all the silver on him.
He even imagined the situation of losing his purse.
Old man Qu didn't say anything, apparently still thinking about it.
There were sighs in the whole hall, only Mrs. Zhu bitterly gouged out Zhu Hou who was worried.
The heartache was just three taels of silver taken out by this stupid man in the morning.
It is estimated that he was used by the glib second brother to eat, drink and gamble, and even bought books, which is a deceitful cover
Looking around, she seemed to be the only one who looked out of place, and Qu Xiuyan seemed to have noticed her expression.
Hastily raised his hand and pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"Why don't you go take a look, Boss?"
Finally made a decision, old man Qu got up, and planned to leave the main room with his hands behind his back.
Before she even stepped out, the voice of Mrs. Liu screaming for the sky and the ground spread throughout the small courtyard.
"Scared your mother to death, you son of a bitch."
"Hey, mother, I got lost in the town."
Opening his eyes and talking nonsense, Qu Zhong shrank his head and dodged to the side while accepting the love from his old lady.
Mrs. Liu is someone who is used to farm work, and her hands are like iron sand palms.
He felt like he was going to have a concussion now.
"It's good to be back, let's eat soon."
Finally relieved, old man Qu shouted loudly in the main room.
The old woman had strong hands when she was young, and he was startled when he heard the bang bang.
"Father, brother, sister-in-law."
With the back basket on his back, Qu Zhong walked into the main room, and took out all the things in the back basket by the faint oil lamp in the main room.
Ho!
It turned out to be full of books, half-basket books.
Passing the roast chicken and steamed buns wrapped in oil paper to Mrs. Liu, Qu Zhong smiled foolishly: "Add a dish for the big guy."
Then slowly began to distribute books to the few people who were studying in the main room.
Qu Xiuqi and the others, who had only been enlightened for a few years, were allotted two books suitable for their stage.
Only Qu Xiuyan harvested a whole stack, which shocked people's jaws.
"Second uncle... so many."
Looking down at the book that was almost as thick as his calf, Qu Xiuyan was a little surprised.
"Look at some of them first, and give them to a few younger brothers after you've finished."
Qu Zhong didn't raise his head, he answered casually, and suddenly remembered those notes, then he raised his head and waved to Qu Xiuyan; "Come and see."
Kneeling down according to the words, Qu Xiuyan saw the densely packed annotations in Qu Zhong's opened book.
"This..."
Pupils shrank suddenly, and Qu Xiuyan immediately put his hands in his hands and moved closer to the oil lamp.
After reading these annotations carefully, Qu Xiuyan's shock could hardly be described in words.
After carefully looking through the notes on the title page, he finally found the owner of the book.
----Luo Mingyuan.
The founding champion Luo Mingyuan.
"Second uncle, where did you get it?"
Nervously swallowing his saliva, Qu Xiuyan opened his eyes wide and his hands began to tremble gradually.
"I found it in the bookstore, and I bought it for two taels of silver."
Of course Qu Zhong didn't know who the No. [-] scholar was, but it was because of the detailed explanation in the annotation that he decided to buy it back.
"This is the commentary of the founding champion, which cannot be bought."
Looking at Qu Zhong with complicated eyes, Qu Xiuyan's heart boiled like boiling water.
"Yo, I didn't expect my second brother to be able to read."
Zhu's yin and yang voice sounded strange, and he was very dissatisfied that his son only got two books.
Qu Zhong clapped his palms, stood up and smiled, "I know it, I've been studying for a few years, and I can still write."
Of course he could hear Zhu's yin and yang eccentricity, and it would be strange if he accepted this.
"Okay, okay, let's talk after dinner."
Just in time, Mrs. Liu had finished heating the steamed buns, and was entering the house with a dustpan.
The buns in this world are too solid, twenty buns can hold a whole dustpan.
"Second brother, are you planning to learn how to read?"
Seeing how many books were still in the back basket, Qu Kuan asked curiously.
作者有话要说:感谢在2020-10-1022:11:49~2020-10-1117:54:56期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: 10 bottles of Lonely Hou; 2 bottles of Er Gongzi; 1 bottle of Yan Jizheng;
As soon as he fell down, Qu Zhong was immediately overwhelmed by the oily smelling pillow under his head.
How did Qu Zhong endure sleeping in such a dirty room every day.
It's midday now, and the light is fine.As soon as he turned his head, he could see the cabinet covered with a thick layer of dust.
By the way, Goldfinger.
Thinking of the words of the system in the space, Qu Zhong was so excited that he even forgot the pain, and hurriedly groped his body.
After touching for a while, I found nothing.
It wasn't until he saw a black mole on his wrist that he had a flash of inspiration and stretched out his hand to hold the mole.
"Enter..."
no response.
"Open Sesame." No response.
Do you want to recognize the Lord with a drop of blood?
But that's not the case, Liu Xinyan just pressed the mole on her wrist and went in.
Did she change the space password?
"Liu Xinyan..." There was no response.
"Medical skills..." He remained motionless.
"Beauty?"
Swish--
Qu Zhong closed his eyes and fell on the pillow he hated, without a sound.
I'll go, such a perverted password.
While cursing, Qu Zhong turned around in this small space.
The previous book said that the space is only a few tens of square meters, and the things that can be put down are very limited.
That's why Liu Xinyan threw away all the things she thought were useless.
But Qu Zhong passed it around now, and found that there were several rows of shelves in the space filled with boxes.
But there was nothing on the empty floor.
Except for a few sacks of unknown things, the other places are empty and there is nothing.
"Then why did she abandon those things?"
Holding his chin, Qu Zhong asked strangely.
But apparently no one in the space could answer that question, he sighed and turned to the shelf for a casual glance at the box.
ginseng.
These two words were pasted on the box, Qu Zhong stretched out his hand to open the box.
Ho!
With such a big ginseng, holding the ginseng and taking a closer look, Qu Zhong finally made sure that he -- he couldn't understand it.
Forget it.
After giving up the years of researching ginseng, he continued to scroll down.
The following things also made Qu Zhong completely speechless, they were all kinds of gold ornaments and some jade carvings.
Flipping through the sack under his feet again, Qu Zhong looked at the sky even more speechless.
Who can tell him what happened to these bags of gold ingots.
Didn't Liu Xinyan pretend to be medical books and medicine talents? Why is it all gold.
After another lap, Qu Zhong finally made up his mind.
There is nothing but gold and jade in it, and nothing but a ginseng.
Is it--
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Qu Zhong thought of the flood in the last century.
Could it be that Liu Xinyan took all the medicinal materials in the space to save people?
After thinking about it for a while, Qu Zhong decided not to think about it. Anyway, for him now, things like gold are more practical.
"I must change that broken quilt."
While muttering, Qu Zhong muttered silently in his heart.
The person lying on the bed immediately opened his eyes, looked around, and found that he was still lying on the kang without moving.
Besides, Qu Xiuyan, who went to boil the water, has not returned yet.
Only then did Qu Zhong guess that the time in this space should be frozen.
The gurgling sound interrupted Qu Zhong's thoughts, and he clutched his stomach only to remember that he hadn't had a drop of water today.
what a sin...
The big family of the Qu family has a really large population. Compared with the previous world, it is simply more luxuriant.
Old man Qu has four sons and two daughters.
The two daughters were married early and only came back during the Chinese New Year.
The eldest son, Qu Kuan, married his wife Xu, two sons and one daughter.
The second son, Qu Zhong, and the third son.
The third son, Qu Hou, married his wife Zhu, and had one son and two daughters.
The fourth son, Qu Ren, married his wife Luo Shi, two sons and one daughter, and now opened a grain shop in the town, which is the property of the father-in-law, but it is not the son-in-law.
In such a huge family, Mrs. Liu has the most say.
Even the old man Qu wanted to give her three points. Mrs. Liu's ability to swear is a master who is well known in all directions.
Therefore, there are not many people in the Qu family who dare to provoke them. Mrs. Liu is really too tough.
When mentioning the three sons of Erfang, Qu Zhong felt his forehead tighten.
The eldest, Qu Xiuqi, is eight years old, and the second child, Qu Xiuhe, is six years old. They study together in the next village.
If Qu Xiuyan is a good seedling with good roots, then these two people are grasshoppers and pests in the seedling field.
Two years ago, she began to follow the Jin family to eat and drink spicy food, and she was raised to be a sneaky, slick, and glib tongue.
Today's appointment was given by Kim's order, and the two went to the town right after school.
As for the third child, Qu Xiusui, he is only four years old now and still doesn't understand anything.
In the book, after entering the school, listening to the nonsense of the two older brothers, they gradually changed their temper.
"Hmph! Wait."
With a cold snort, Qu Zhong pinched his fingers, and the sound of crackling knuckles filled the room.
When he was a child, his grandfather always said that a filial son is born under a stick.
He felt that now was the time to try it.
Anyway, the task was to teach the brats, so he planned to let these brats also take the imperial examination.
He will be an old man, and he will wander around in style in the future.
"Brother, do you feel the chill on the back of your neck?"
While shrinking his neck, Qu Xiuhe shouted to Qu Xiuqi who was walking in front.
The two are now rushing to town excitedly.
In the past few days, the town has heard that delicious water chestnut cakes have been produced, so they have to buy them and go home early while the day is still bright.
"I don't feel it, let's go faster."
Zhou Xiuqi was so focused on eating that he didn't feel any sense at all.
Instead, he thought of something, turned around and confessed to Qu Xiuhe: "When we buy it, we will share a small piece with dad, and everyone else will not share any."
"Understood, mother said we can't separate." Qu Xiuhe quickly agreed, and sang cheerfully.
They didn't know that the two of them would see their mother being scolded by the grandmother pulling her hair by her hair in the town.
from here..
The content of the book has completely changed.
The two brothers, who were supposed to eat and drink well and come back, were misled by Jin and misunderstood that Qu Zhong secretly hated him.
But now the grandma told the truth on the street, the two brothers returned home in a daze, and seeing Qu Zhong lying on the kang again, their emotions were even more complicated.
Seeing the small eyes of the two brothers, Qu Zhong completely ignored him.
He just turned his head and didn't want to talk to the two of them.
He drank a bowl of porridge at night, and now he was already hungry, so he had to recharge his energy and go into town when he could walk in the ground without hindrance.
When he comes back with tools, he will deal with these two boys.
"Go and rest, you have to go to school tomorrow."
Qu Zhong only left his back for the two of them, and his voice was also very indifferent.
When Qu Xiuqi and the two left the house, Qu Zhong immediately fell into a deep sleep and didn't hear anything outside.
"What's wrong with Dad? He didn't even scold us."
Although they were hit in the town, the two brothers still don't know what happened at Qu's house today, and they only think that Qu Zhong is in a bad mood.
I must have known about my mother's stealing.
The two looked at each other, both a little confused.
They know what it means to steal people, but they don't know that Qu Zhong and Jin have divorced.
After all, he is still young, and usually only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, so he still has a little understanding of these grown-up matters.
"Come here..."
Qu Xiuyan stood at the door of the West Wing and waved to the two of them.
"Big brother, big brother."
Both of them were a little apprehensive, and when they heard the elder brother calling themselves, they quickly moved over with their heads down.
Sighing, he patted Qu Xiuhe's head, and Qu Xiuyan led the two into his room.
Then, after listening to the older brother's account of what happened this afternoon, he realized why Qu Zhong was in such a low mood.
"Father, it's so pitiful."
Rubbing his eyes, Qu Xiuhe murmured, he only knew that it was his mother's fault.
But today he walked a lot and didn't even eat water chestnut cake. Now he feels that he can't open his eyes.
Qu Xiuqi, who was two years older, obviously knew what it meant.
Coupled with what he saw on the street today, the balance in his heart is shaking constantly.
Compared with his honest and dull father, he still thinks his mother who is willing to spend money on him is much better.
So he just rolled his eyes, didn't express his opinion immediately, just nodded his head falteringly.
"Hey! Go back to your house and go to sleep."
Seeing that his words were wasted, Qu Xiuyan had no choice but to let the two of them leave.
The second uncle is really pitiful for what happened today, but he usually dotes too much on the children of the second bedroom, and the younger brothers who are used to it just look lazy.
***
Qu Zhong lay on the bed for five whole days before he could walk easily.
So after breakfast that day, he immediately proposed that he would go to town.
"What are you going to do? Your work as a waiter has been taken over by others." Old man Qu was smoking a pipe, squinting at Qu Zhong.
A few days ago, the old patriarch took his Qujiawan clansmen to the next village to seek justice.
Knowing that they were wrong, the Liu family even proposed to use money to privately discuss this matter, and they did not want this matter to become a big one.
One is to worry that the daughter-in-law will not give the old couple filial money for this matter.
Second, I was worried that my son would be arrested and sent to jail if this matter got too serious.
Old man Qu didn't make a decision at that time, instead he came back and asked Qu Zhong.
It would be a fool not to take any money, Qu Zhong of course immediately agreed, asking for 50 taels of silver.
This is what he reckoned casually.
Old man Qu was terrified when he heard that. His family would have to earn 50 taels for five or six years, let alone the Liu family.
Unexpectedly, the Liu family gritted their teeth and agreed.
The Jin family lost face in the town and left Luogu Town on the third day. It is said that he ran away with a passing wealthy businessman.
So now Qu Zhong has a huge sum of 50 taels of silver.
Old man Qu was afraid that he would go to town to spend money. This son is usually reticent, but in fact he has the most thoughts.
"Father, I want to go to town and buy some books."
He was still choking on the black-faced steamed buns brought by Mrs. Liu just now, so he beat his chest while talking.
Until there was a sound---hiccup.
Only then did he feel comfortable all over his body. When he made money, the first thing he would do was to replace it with white flour steamed buns. Eating this black flour every day would really choke him to death.
But as soon as he said this, everyone in the main room seemed to stand still in place.
Mrs. Liu didn't seem to hear clearly, so she asked again; "What are you buying?"
"Buy books." Repeated in doubt, Qu Zhong suddenly remembered that he was the person in his family who most opposed children's reading.
Touching his nose in embarrassment, Qu Zhong didn't intend to pretend to be the original owner.
"I'm going to buy some books for Xiuyan and Xiuqi..."
Then, Qu Zhong started to fool around.
What a painful experience and feels that reading is the only way out, why I must discipline the boys in my family well in the future.
Whatever you do, you have to start reading again, and set an example for your children.
Anyway, no matter how solemnly he said it, Qu Xiuyan, who was about to go to school, said it with a heavy heart.
It was old man Qu who came back to his senses, and hurried out with his grandsons who were going to school.
After the children were all gone, I wiped my sore eyes, feeling very relieved.
"It's a good thing you've grown up at last, go, go."
Patting Qu Zhong on the shoulder, old man Qu turned and went out the door.
As for Mrs. Liu, she was not so particular about it. She had a runny nose and tears, and she had long forgotten her plan to ask Qu Zhong for money.
This son has been a dull gourd since he was a child, with a heavy heart.
I went to school for three years, but in the end I was called back home by my master because of my gloominess.
I didn't expect to have such a long talk today and think so many things in my heart.
"Second brother is a good one." The sister-in-law pushed Qu Kuan into the room where the eldest lived, planning to raise some money for Qu Zhong herself.
After all, among the people that the second uncle mentioned were the two children of their eldest family.
"It's a good one. I, the eldest brother, have misunderstood the second brother all these years."
Qu Kuan, as his name suggests, is generous and honest, he also takes good care of the younger brothers, and works hard to maintain the balance of the whole family.
But in the three-bedroom house, Mrs. Zhu was not so moved.
She kept looking out of the window suspiciously, and didn't even hear Qu Hou's voice urging her to take the money.
"What do you think? Really, I will do it myself."
Not getting a response, Qu Hou went to search for money by himself.
"Hmph! Just your second brother, he's a sneaky bastard, and you're the only ones who believe his nonsense."
Mrs. Zhu didn't intend to get up, but sat on the kang and started eating melon seeds.
"I'm too lazy to tell you."
Qu Hou has long been aware of Zhu's narrow-mindedness, but he still doesn't understand his second brother?
Although gloomy, he was a firm person when he spoke.
Therefore, Qu Zhong, who originally planned to go to the town with only 50 taels of silver, ended up going out with 58 taels of silver.
call--
The words of Zhijun Pavilion are not written in vain, and it is easy to catch this nonsense.
Turning the basket on his back, Qu Zhong felt that he must be in a much more embarrassing state now.
Fortunately, he washed his hair last night, otherwise he would have suspected that there would be lice growing on his head.
To say that the location of Qujiawan is really good.
It only takes more than half an hour to get there on foot, and the road is flat, which is much better than the official road in the previous world.
After paying a penny to enter the city, Qu Zhong looked around like a bumpkin entering the city.
This town is too...
It's depressed.
There are rows of shops in the city, but there are only a few that are actually open, and the others are all closed.
There were very few people on the street, and everyone was dressed in gray clothes.
Even the voices of yelling and selling are very few.
Qu Zhong casually asked an old man, and the shop selling pens and paper was actually in an unknown alley.
It wasn't until I got out of this main street that something strange happened. There were people coming and going in this alley.
There are small vendors and food stalls everywhere.
Huh--
Why is this?
Confused, he walked into the only bookstore in the town, and Qu Zhong made some friends with the shopkeeper, and then asked.
"Jinbao Street."
The shopkeeper was an old man with a white beard, leaning lazily on the counter and yawning comfortably.
"The rent on that street is so expensive, who will rent it?"
Originally, that street was quite prosperous before, but as soon as I heard that that street was valued by a wealthy businessman, the rent increased accordingly.
But the wealthy businessman didn't come, on the contrary, there were not many people to see.
Over time, everyone moved away from that street, and now that street is almost deserted.
tut tut -
Qu Zhong clicked his tongue, it seems that no matter which world it is, there are many people who sit on the ground and raise prices.
"I said, are you here to buy books? If you don't buy books, the old man will go to sleep."
After the shopkeeper finished his gossip, seeing that Qu Zhong still didn't leave, he planned to bombard him.
"Buy, buy, buy."
There is only such a bookstore in a town, which is really unbelievable.
Afraid that the shopkeeper was really going to sleep, Qu Zhong hurriedly turned around and entered the shop, and began to buy books.
"Yo, I bought so many."
The shopkeeper finally came to his senses. Seeing that Qu Zhong had really picked up many books on the shelf, he believed that he really came to buy books.
"The children at home read a lot."
Just kidding, Qu Zhong didn't say that he wanted to read many of these books.
What history books, travel notes.
It's all he uses to understand the world.
There was a crackling sound of abacus, and the shopkeeper became more and more elated.
This is a big mistake. These historical travel notes have not been bought for several years.
Then quietly looked at Qu Zhong's clothes, and immediately defined him as a servant of a rich family in his heart.
"58 taels."
The sound stopped, and the shopkeeper quoted the price.
But when I looked up, I found that the person was squatting in the corner looking at something.After waiting for a while, he came out again holding something.
"Why is this for sale"
What he held in his hand was a lot of books covered in dust, a tall stack.
Just now he was bored, so Qu Zhong casually swept the floor and found that there were many dusty books there.
Curiously, he flipped through a few pages, only to realize that this was a treasure he had picked up.
It turned out to be the "Book of Rites" full of annotations.
Qu Zhong carefully looked at these annotations, and found that the level of detail should be comparable to modern reference books.
"These were sold by a poor scholar, who said they were left by his ancestors."
The shopkeeper fanned the dust that was floating up, frowning.
These books have been in the store for several years, and the ones written in such a mess on them, even the words on the books can’t be read clearly, who will buy them.
"If you want, take all five taels of silver."
Anyway, he bought this book for only two taels of silver back then, and when he met this bully, he just cleared the place and put the others.
Secretly happy in his heart, Qu Zhong didn't show it on his face, and smacked his mouth a few times.
"Those plus these add up to a total of 58 taels. If you sell it, take it all away. If you don't sell it, you don't want it."
Patting the dust off his hands, Qu Zhong acted like you can figure it out.
Seeing that the shopkeeper frowned, he immediately turned around and planned to pat his ass and leave.
"Sell it and sell it."
Reluctantly, the shopkeeper flicked the dust on the book with a feather duster, but his heart was already full of joy.
Thus, the sale ended amicably in a harmonious atmosphere where both parties felt that they had met a fool.
The shopkeeper even put the books neatly into Qu Zhong's basket, and waved him away.
hehe--
Unknowing guy.
While humming an out-of-tune song, Qu Zhong asked the way to a shop selling gold and silver jewelry.
This morning, he specially took out a small gold ornament from the space, just planning to exchange it for some broken silver.
did not expect.
This kind of humble gold jewelry was exchanged for more than 100 taels.
This is unremarkable in Qu Zhong's eyes, the workmanship of this jewelry is simply top-notch in such a town.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw it, he knew that the jewelry could be sold at a good price without having to redo it.
That's why 100 taels of silver came out to buy it.
And he asked Qu Zhong to sell such good things in his shop next time.
Qu Zhong nodded, but he was sure in his heart that he would never come again.
This town is too small, so if you come to both sides more often, it will definitely be remembered. Next time you have a chance, go to the county town.
"It seems that women have better vision."
With a huge sum of money in his arms, Qu Zhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After going to the bank to exchange all the banknotes for scattered silver, Qu Zhong found an empty place and threw the silver and the books he bought into the space.
Only then swaggered to a stall and ordered a bowl of wontons.
"Uncle, there is no carpenter around here."
After swallowing a mouthful of delicious wontons, Qu Zhong still firmly remembered his goal for today.
"Go straight ahead, and when you get to the end, turn left and the first one will be there."
The old man replied without looking back.
Luogu Town is not big, Qu Zhong finished eating the wontons in a few mouthfuls, rubbed his unsatisfied stomach, and planned to buy some steamed stuffed buns later.
The body in this world is much better than the last one.
It's just too delicious, this bowl of wontons seems to be gone after being filled with a shake.
After finally finding a carpenter, let alone loitering, Qu Zhong felt that there might not even be any slag left.
After telling the carpenter about his request, Qu Zhong asked when he could pick it up.
The carpenter smiled honestly: "It will be ready in a while."
It's just a long strip, just find a wooden board and cut it like this.
"Then I'll wait here."
Sitting casually, Qu Zhong stared at the carpenter's hands flying up and down, and soon a ruler measuring half a meter was formed.
The barb was polished, and a handle that could be held was cut at one end.
This giant ring ruler is just fine.
He is not good at beating people with bare hands, but with this ruler, it will be different. In his previous life, when he saw his master beat the children with a ruler, the children burst into tears.
So he came here to order this ruler today.
Putting the ruler into the back basket, today's task was completed, Qu Zhong wandered to the bun shop and bought twenty buns and a roast chicken before heading back home.
With his dilly-dallying nature, he didn't get home until the sun went down.
In the Qu courtyard, Mrs. Liu stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around frequently.
The food in the main room has already been served on the table, only Qu Zhong, who went out early in the morning, has not yet arrived home.
"Isn't it because I met a thief?" Old man Qu frowned worriedly as he tapped his cigarette pouch on the corner of the table.
"I'm fast, why don't I go and have a look."
Qu Kuan was also very worried, wondering if the second younger brother carried all the silver on him.
He even imagined the situation of losing his purse.
Old man Qu didn't say anything, apparently still thinking about it.
There were sighs in the whole hall, only Mrs. Zhu bitterly gouged out Zhu Hou who was worried.
The heartache was just three taels of silver taken out by this stupid man in the morning.
It is estimated that he was used by the glib second brother to eat, drink and gamble, and even bought books, which is a deceitful cover
Looking around, she seemed to be the only one who looked out of place, and Qu Xiuyan seemed to have noticed her expression.
Hastily raised his hand and pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"Why don't you go take a look, Boss?"
Finally made a decision, old man Qu got up, and planned to leave the main room with his hands behind his back.
Before she even stepped out, the voice of Mrs. Liu screaming for the sky and the ground spread throughout the small courtyard.
"Scared your mother to death, you son of a bitch."
"Hey, mother, I got lost in the town."
Opening his eyes and talking nonsense, Qu Zhong shrank his head and dodged to the side while accepting the love from his old lady.
Mrs. Liu is someone who is used to farm work, and her hands are like iron sand palms.
He felt like he was going to have a concussion now.
"It's good to be back, let's eat soon."
Finally relieved, old man Qu shouted loudly in the main room.
The old woman had strong hands when she was young, and he was startled when he heard the bang bang.
"Father, brother, sister-in-law."
With the back basket on his back, Qu Zhong walked into the main room, and took out all the things in the back basket by the faint oil lamp in the main room.
Ho!
It turned out to be full of books, half-basket books.
Passing the roast chicken and steamed buns wrapped in oil paper to Mrs. Liu, Qu Zhong smiled foolishly: "Add a dish for the big guy."
Then slowly began to distribute books to the few people who were studying in the main room.
Qu Xiuqi and the others, who had only been enlightened for a few years, were allotted two books suitable for their stage.
Only Qu Xiuyan harvested a whole stack, which shocked people's jaws.
"Second uncle... so many."
Looking down at the book that was almost as thick as his calf, Qu Xiuyan was a little surprised.
"Look at some of them first, and give them to a few younger brothers after you've finished."
Qu Zhong didn't raise his head, he answered casually, and suddenly remembered those notes, then he raised his head and waved to Qu Xiuyan; "Come and see."
Kneeling down according to the words, Qu Xiuyan saw the densely packed annotations in Qu Zhong's opened book.
"This..."
Pupils shrank suddenly, and Qu Xiuyan immediately put his hands in his hands and moved closer to the oil lamp.
After reading these annotations carefully, Qu Xiuyan's shock could hardly be described in words.
After carefully looking through the notes on the title page, he finally found the owner of the book.
----Luo Mingyuan.
The founding champion Luo Mingyuan.
"Second uncle, where did you get it?"
Nervously swallowing his saliva, Qu Xiuyan opened his eyes wide and his hands began to tremble gradually.
"I found it in the bookstore, and I bought it for two taels of silver."
Of course Qu Zhong didn't know who the No. [-] scholar was, but it was because of the detailed explanation in the annotation that he decided to buy it back.
"This is the commentary of the founding champion, which cannot be bought."
Looking at Qu Zhong with complicated eyes, Qu Xiuyan's heart boiled like boiling water.
"Yo, I didn't expect my second brother to be able to read."
Zhu's yin and yang voice sounded strange, and he was very dissatisfied that his son only got two books.
Qu Zhong clapped his palms, stood up and smiled, "I know it, I've been studying for a few years, and I can still write."
Of course he could hear Zhu's yin and yang eccentricity, and it would be strange if he accepted this.
"Okay, okay, let's talk after dinner."
Just in time, Mrs. Liu had finished heating the steamed buns, and was entering the house with a dustpan.
The buns in this world are too solid, twenty buns can hold a whole dustpan.
"Second brother, are you planning to learn how to read?"
Seeing how many books were still in the back basket, Qu Kuan asked curiously.
