In the same boat with the son

It's a weird start, but it's actually not that weird.

The morning wind slid through the smoky air, bringing the scorching green leaves to flutter lazily.A yard surrounded by fences, three old mud houses, falling walls, covered with a few tiles, and a large piece of thatch; the light through the window lightly soaks on the boy's body on the bed, and there are dust floating in the sunlight , with soft eyebrows, curved eyes, slightly raised eye tips, a straight nose, thin lips pulled by a faint lip line, and a little baby fat face, everything is beautiful, but there is something in the boy's eyes. With horror, his whole face was a little distorted.

After dying, he came back to life, and it was still weird.Consciousness and body seem to have belonged to two people, but the memory seems to be stored in two copies, engraved in one brain, the past and the present.However, the feelings and memories of the master of the consciousness and the master of the body are blurred and transparent, as if they were smeared.To be more specific, the boy at this time has only two objective intellectual memories left, but no subjective self-existence cognition; moreover, in the dominant consciousness, the boy does not belong to this world, just like returning to history , but it is a historical reality.

Maybe life has not yet unfolded, maybe life has fallen like autumn leaves, no matter what, the young man curled up his knuckles, this feeling of being alive is always good.

The door of the room creaked, and a woman in her thirties and forties came in, with a bit of vicissitudes and sadness on her face. She was pleasantly surprised to see that the boy had woken up, and hurriedly sat by the window to help him up, "Xiu'er, I'm so scared!" Bad bitch, why did you fall into the river? If something happens to you, how will you let your mother live?" His eyes turned red as he spoke.The young man opened his mouth to say something, but the woman wiped her eyes, and continued, "I've been sleeping all day and night, are you hungry, mother will bring you some porridge."

The young man drank the gruel in the bowl, surprised, confused, and thankful that various emotions continued to ferment, which made him dizzy. After drinking, he was told to lie down and rest.Opening his eyes and looking at the bare walls of the house, he fell asleep again in a daze amidst the chaos.

After a week or so, the young man finally figured out his current situation one, two, three. The young man's original name was Lin Xiu, and this place was Lijia Village, Jiexiu's territory, and it was in the Cang Dynasty.This year is not yet fifteen, his father passed away when he was a child, and his mother raised him up, and the clan often helped him; he is usually quiet and well-behaved, maybe he drowned in swimming because of his greed for coolness.

Lin Xiu's mother, Guo Shi, whose father was a teacher and could read a few words, married his father who worked in the government office. Unfortunately, his father was ill and died early. .The teenager couldn't help feeling admiration and attachment to Mrs. Guo.The fate is like this, and it should follow.

The biggest problem now is poverty. I used to study for a few years in the private school of the clan and learned a few words. Now that I am old, I should go to work and provide more income for the family; my mother entrusted the patriarch, The patriarch saw that the mother and son were pitiful, so he found an errand in the county government office, and he was going to join the job soon.

But, but, I'm still a newcomer, I'm still young, and I don't know much about Chinese characters. If I spend my whole life in a small government office, I really owe God's love to be recreated.

Mother should be asked to quit this job first, then earn a living and earn some income, and then go to school.At dinner, my mother picked up all the eggs from the spread into her own bowl, and said distressedly: "Xiu'er, it seems that you have lost weight these days because of your overthinking."

Looking at the shallots mixed with tofu and some pickles in his mother's bowl, the boy couldn't help feeling sour, and put the eggs back into his mother's bowl, "Mother, I feel that I am still young, so I went to the government office to find an ordinary job, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." There will be no future; the child still wants to study, and only by reading can he be successful."

A look of joy appeared on Guo's face, but soon turned to sadness, "Xiu'er has great ambitions, and my mother is very pleased, but the family is poor now, and my mother doesn't know what to do."

"Mom, I've grown up, let me worry about it. I'll go to school after I earn enough money and change to a better house."

Dividing line

After going back and forth, Lin Xiu felt that selling wine was more profitable based on his previous understanding and the current situation.My father was addicted to drinking, and as time went by, my mother acquired a good craft of brewing wine, and occasionally exchanged it for some silver taels or gave it to others, but it was not very convenient for the woman to show her face, so she only made ends meet intermittently.

In today's world, only drinking is the only way to enter the high hall and go down to the city. It has both the romance of the bamboo forest and the fence, and the heroism of the green forest and rivers and lakes. Especially nowadays, it is advocating the family distinction of celebrities.

When Lin Xiu told his mother about this thought, Guo was very surprised. He was not only surprised that Lin Xiu could have such a consideration, but also surprised that Lin Xiu was not a philistine who didn't like to compare pennies, but there was no reason to object. It is also a good thing to look up, children are greater than the sky, Guo Shi has no reason to follow.

Now that the Sophora japonica is in season, Lin Xiu asked his mother to make two kinds of wine, one is the local traditional sake, which is mainly sold to farmers and pawns, to attract traffic and maintain a basic income; the other is to use sake as a base Infected with Sophora japonica, sold to scholars and squires, adding some name or gimmicks for sale.The former is served in clay pots to show the thickness and simplicity; the latter is served in white porcelain to show seasonal chic.

As the sky was twilight, Lin Xiu got up from the bed early to pack things up. He put twenty catties of sake and two catties of Sophora japonica smoked in a basket on his back, and drove into the city early in the ox cart of Uncle's family in the village.Lin Xiu wanted to bring more into the city, but Guo persuaded Lin Xiu because he was afraid that Lin Xiu would be troubled.

In the city market, Langfang Gousi, in the early morning, rushing to the morning market, the voices of people are noisy, shoulder to shoulder, it is very lively.Lin Xiu followed Uncle to set up the stall and marked the prices, sake was 16 cents a tael, and Sophora japonica smoked was [-] cents a tael.At this time, a catty was divided into [-] taels in the market. Lin Xiu was not used to it, and he didn't have any equipment to weigh it. According to a catty, [-] taels, he estimated and sold it to customers.

Lin Xiu was born extraordinary, and he looked like a young man, so he attracted a lot of attention. From the first person who asked for the price of the wine, the aroma of the wine spread, and the sake sold very well. people buy.

After three days like this, the sake has been sold for more than ten taels of silver, but Sophora japonica has not sold any wine.Mrs. Guo seldom earns a little money, and she is very happy to see what Lin Xiu has gained, so she asks Lin Xiu to pack up early at night and have a good rest.At night, Lin Xiu lay on the bed tossing and turning, anxious about Sophora japonica, thinking a lot but unable to respond, feeling powerless, but unwilling; thinking carefully, maybe his sales method was wrong.

In the market, compared with penny and baht, the taste of twenty-string sake is not far from that of fifty-string Sophora japonica, and ordinary people naturally choose sake; Running around in life, in fact, is to choose a sales place and there is no sales target.There is still some sake left. Although there is not much Sophora japonica brewed, it is distressing to have all of it left. We should choose a new place to sell it tomorrow.After figuring it out, Lin Xiu gradually fell asleep peacefully; the moonlight was just right, stroking away the rush of the day.

On the fourth day, Lin Xiu and Abo agreed on the time and place to go back, and turned a few streets alone, which was the place where big inns gathered; found a big locust tree at the fork in the road, and spread gray cloth towels several feet wide , Arrange the wine.

The label pasted on the white porcelain is titled "Hua Huai Xun", followed by the words "I am a guest in a foreign country, and I miss returning to Huai Li; the age is full of dyeing, and the understanding is filial piety"; I also took out a simple pen and paper, thinking about I wonder whether I should write more or practice calligraphy to pass the time. Recently, I often practice calligraphy. One is to learn its fonts, and the other is to recognize its complexity.Sure enough, this street is very prosperous, many embroidered or white-clothed gentlemen come and go, and many of the upstairs princes lean on the railing.

Although Lin Xiu was wearing coarse clothes, he was kept very neat and tidy by his mother. With black silk and black hair, bright eyes and white teeth, and pink cheeks, he got it naturally, which was very eye-catching.Passers-by are attracted by his beautiful style, although they don't know that his self-satisfied style lies in thinking about earning a lot of money, and they have never been educated to be ashamed of selling in the market.

On this day, the young master of the Zhu family in Jiexiu City was bored playing and playing with a group of acquaintances in the largest restaurant, thinking about how to spend the sunshine, not wanting to see the forest under the locust tree. Xiu, seeing how good-looking he is, I can't help being interested in having fun.Then he led a group of young men downstairs, while the rest of the idle children scrambled to lie down by the window to watch the fun.

The young master of the Zhu family put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, raised his eyes, and scoffed: "Hey, the wine seller, the sake is [-] cents a tael, and the sophora japonica is fifty cents a liang. By the way, the sophora japonica is so expensive. What's the reason?" Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his eyes and thought to himself, thinking about the appearance of the young master, he flickered a few times at will, naturally he didn't care about such a small amount of money, it seems that today's fortune is indeed good.

"Young master, the Sophora japonica flower scent you sell is based on sake, so as to infuse the Sophora japonica flower that has not yet bloomed, drank the morning dew, and soaked in the morning light, making it more elegant."

Young master Zhu rolled his eyes, "Just add some Sophora japonica, and the price will double?"

Lin Xiu was even more dignified, and slowly explained: "It's rare in the world, and only the heart feels it; ceramics are cheap, and they will double if you meet them with skillful brushes; silk cloth is simple, and it's beautiful when you meet colors, dyes and silk embroidery. It is fine, and it means doing filial piety and thinking about returning home. How can it be comparable to ordinary wine; drinking it into the blood and subsiding it is very good for the body, especially it can make parents live longer. Fifty cash is really a fair price."

Young master Zhu was very happy when he heard these remarks. Although he is usually spoiled at home and doesn't like to work hard, he has a natural disposition and is very fond of his parents. He was in good health, which meant honoring his parents, but he could hear it clearly, so he asked the servant behind him to take out the money.

"I want all the rest of you. Give me all the porcelain labels. If you give these silver taels, you don't have to look for them."

After hearing this, Lin Xiu felt that the surprise came too suddenly, and he was a little dazed. He quickly realized that he handed the wine jug to the servant behind him. He felt very satisfied, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled. Young Master Zhu looked very surprised. I was a little dumbfounded, but didn't think much, so I took the boy away and wanted to go home quickly and offer wine to my parents to please them.In a blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and there was more than half a catty left for Abo to take home to drink. Lin Xiu arrived at the place agreed with Abo and returned to the village.

On the fifth day, Lin Xiu went to watch under the pagoda tree again, thinking about his luck today; after this period of time, the pagoda flowers should be gone, and the weather should be hotter, so he came out to expose his little body all day May be unbearable.Recently, it has been regarded as a considerable income. It may be more appropriate to review the books here at home, and wait for the heat to pass before thinking about other things.Just as he was thinking about it, the young master of the Zhu family came up to him again.
