Shen Yu nodded, "I want it all, please show me, is there any 50-year-old lady with you?"

Xiao Er was very happy, this is a big customer!You have to take good care of me.Thinking of this, he swiftly led them to another counter, took out several boxes, and opened them one by one, "This is a koi blessing bracelet, a new style handed down from Fucheng, which is loved by rich old ladies. "

Shen Yu didn't really believe this, rich wives love jade bracelets and gold bracelets, not many people like silver ones.But he didn't say anything else, and let Xiao Er continue to introduce.

"This is a pearl necklace. They are all made of high-quality pearls. They are all beautiful in color. And this is an auspicious wishful hairpin. The gourd on it is made of gold and the leaves are also made of jade. My little brother can give it a try. I like it."

Shen Yu really likes it, although the gold is a bit small, and the jade is not a good jade, but it looks good, and she should like it if you give it to Mrs. Shen, but I don't know if it is expensive or not?

Xiao Er seemed to know his scruples, and quoted the price without saying a word, "Although this auspicious wishful hairpin is the same size as the previous flower-shaped hairpin, the material used is more expensive, and it costs six taels of silver."

It's not very expensive, he pointed to the bracelet, "How do you count this bracelet?"

"This bracelet is four or two eight dollars, do the guests want it?"

"It's all."

"Okay, then let's go here to pay the bill." Said, Xiao Er gathered all the jewelry together, and then moved them to the counter together, "Shopkeeper, this customer wants all these, you do the math."

The shopkeeper took a surprised look at Shen Yu, and then picked up the abacus, "A flower-shaped hairpin costs one tael or three, a total of six taels of silver, koi blessing bracelet, four taels of silver, and this auspicious hairpin Six taels of silver, add up to a total of 16 taels of silver."

Shen Yu stopped Mu Jing who wanted to take out his purse, took out the purse himself, took out two silver ingots and handed them to the shopkeeper. He only brought these two silver ingots out today, and he still felt a little distressed. More than one-third of his net worth was lost!

The shopkeeper weighed it with a small scale, and put it away after confirming that there was nothing wrong. Then he found a small silver ingot of two taels, and two small silver ingots, one large and one small.

Shen Yu put away the broken money, thinking that it is impossible to come this year, and the purse can't bear it again!

Coincidentally, when I went out, I met Old Man Shen and Old Four Shen coming over with a donkey, Shen Yu put the things in Mu Jing's hands, and walked towards Old Man Shen with great interest, "Father, is this the donkey you bought?"

"Fifth, let me show you, isn't this donkey particularly strong? I picked it."

Shen Yu really patted it. This is the second protagonist in the legendary "Dragon Meat in the Sky and Donkey Meat in the Underground". As expected, the muscles are strong. After marinating, it should be very chewy.

"Not bad."

"I thought it was solid when I saw it, so I will ride this donkey back when I go back next time."

as long as you are happy!

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Shen Fengshu was already waiting there to get the ox cart, and then Shen Laosi suddenly, as he said, was really riding the donkey ahead.

This donkey is also docile, it doesn't run wild, it just walks slowly, but as a domestic animal that runs slower than horses and snails, its slow speed is a little bit faster than a bullock cart.

"The second uncle's family bought a donkey, and the work will be much easier in the future."

"This donkey was not bought to work, this bastard was bought to run a business."

"Anzi wants to run a business?" Shen Fengshu was also surprised, he had never heard of this.

"I'm worried! The fourth child wants to do business, and the eldest child and the second child are looking forward to the family's little boy studying and taking the number one prize. It's so easy to get the top score, and I don't know if it will affect it."

"What are you afraid of, let's break up at worst!"

Old man Shen tapped over with one finger, "What nonsense? What kind of family should we divide?"

Shen Yu rubbed his head, and came to Mu Jing's side, thinking that his father was completely idle, if they want rainwater and they take the first prize, how can they fix it without dividing the family?

"What's wrong?"

"My father! If they want rainwater, they will take the imperial examination, and the fourth child wants to be a businessman. How can we fix it without dividing the family?"

Mu Jing shook his head, "There is no need to separate the family! There is no conflict between being a merchant and taking the imperial examination."

"Didn't it mean that merchants' homes cannot conduct business? Why is there no conflict?"

"Brother Yu, who did you hear that the family of merchants can also take the scientific examination, but the official position in the future will not be too high, at most it will be the end of the fifth-rank official. If you want to go up, it will be too difficult."

Shen Yu's eyes widened. Look, what did he hear? The family of merchants can take scientific examinations, so what was he struggling with before?It’s just that you can’t be a fifth-rank official. It’s okay. You think the fifth-rank official is so easy to do. In ancient times, the imperial examination was more difficult than the Shuimu Tsinghua University. The two still recruit thousands of students every year. The imperial examination is only once every three years. , there are only 200, tell me, who is more difficult?

He patted his forehead, and blamed him for not inquiring about the situation here, thinking that it was similar to their ancient times, merchants were not allowed to do scientific research, so it turned out like this?

"Brother Yu, what are you doing?"

Shen Yu waved his hands, and his whole body fell on Mujing, "Oh, I always thought that merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examination, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

Mu Jing didn't expect Shen Yu to be so bold, so he jumped on him directly, his whole body froze, then he rubbed Shen Yu's head, and breathed a sigh of relief, "You know it."

Shen Yu suddenly came to his senses like enlightenment, "That's right! It will be convenient in the future!"

"Brother Yu, sit down!" Mu Jing helped him and reminded him.

Shen Yu scratched his head in embarrassment, forgetting that he was still on the cart.

Shen Fengshu was just surprised, and then nodded, he didn't have any opinion on merchants, the classmate with whom he had a good relationship was a merchant, and they opened a cloth shop in the town.

"The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the second uncle should also relax. Anzi and the others are all successful. When the time comes, send the children to the academy. It will be better if there are people in charge there."

Old man Shen has actually thought about this problem too, but the fees charged by the academy in the town are really not cheap, Shuxiu costs eight taels of silver a year, and there are four school-age children in his family, which is really not cheap.That's why I sent my child to Taoli Village next door, where the private school charges three taels of silver a year.

Not long after, Fourth Shen came back on his little donkey, "Fifth, what do you think of my donkey? Is it much faster?"

Old man Shen raised his head and shouted at Fourth Shen, "Fourth, are you in such a hurry, what are you doing back here? Go back early, it's almost dark when our ox cart goes back, let your mother and the others not wait for us gone."

Shen Yu smiled at Shen Lao Si, making you feel awkward!

Waving his hand, "Fourth brother, come back early."

As old man Shen said, it was already dark when they went back today.

"Fengshu, go to uncle's house for dinner?"

Shen Fengshu waved his hand, "No, Cuicui is waiting at home!"

"Well, when you have time, go to Uncle's house to play!"

"it is good."

When Shen Fengshu left, old man Shen shouted, "Mu Jing, go home and eat. You have a cold pot and a cold stove at home. You have been running around all day. What else do you eat?"

Mu Jing didn't refuse, and simply turned the ox cart around and rushed towards the entrance of the village.

The grunting noise of the ox cart was not small, and the villagers were startled, so they hurried out to see which family it was. They brought out the oil lamp and saw that it was Shen Yu and his son.

"Second Uncle Shen, where did you go? Are you back so late?"

"Hey, I went to the county for a trip."

"That's far away, go home and have dinner."

When we arrived at Shen's house, the door of Shen's house was open, and Boss Shen was waiting at the door. When he heard the sound of the wheels of the ox cart, he went out, "Father, you are back, fifth! Mu Jing also came in, and mother will warm you up." After dinner, I guess you should come back by this time."

"Mother, dad and the others are back." Boss Shen roared into the house, and went to lead the ox cart in Mu Jing's hand, "Come on, give me Mu Jing's ox, and I'll take it to the cowshed."

"Then it's troublesome brother."

"Brother, is there still a place for the cows in the cowshed? Didn't the fourth child come back with a donkey?"

Only then did Boss Shen realize that it was true. Their cattle shed was not big, but old man Shen bought a cow a few days ago, and the fourth son bought a donkey today, so it was not easy to settle down.

"Just tie it to the tree stump, and take it away when Mu Jing leaves." Old man Shen said.

As soon as she reached the main room, Mrs. Shen had already brought out all the food, "Son, you guys are back? Are you starving? Mother left you some rice."

Shen Yu sniffed the scent in the air, walked towards the dining table in twos and twos, "Mother, what does it smell like? It smells so good."

"The big stewed bones, your second sister-in-law went to buy them, the boss bought one, and it didn't cost much." Mrs. Shen quickly added three bowls of rice, handed them to Shen Yu and the three of them, and then picked up Shen Yu and put them on the table The burden on the top asks, "What is this?"

"Hey, mother, this is the big bracelet I bought for you. Last time, didn't you mention how beautiful the big bracelet of Si Auntie was? Look at the one I bought for you. The guy said that all the old ladies in the city love it. "

Mrs. Shen was happy, but couldn't help feeling sorry for the money, so she couldn't help muttering, "Son, what are you wasting money for?"

"Mother, I'll buy it for you, I'm filial to you. Show me what it looks like? I'm so curious." Some of the Shen family members were asleep, and some were still awake. Shen Song came out when she heard the voice. .

"You're just impatient." Mrs. Shen opened the package and found several boxes, "Why are there so many?"

As he spoke, he opened a box and found a silver hairpin in the shape of a lotus flower.

"Hey, mother, this is pretty." Shen Song glanced at it, and as soon as his eyes lit up, he wanted to get it.

Mrs. Shen also let her take it, and continued to look at other boxes. She read the big silver bracelet her son said.

When Shen Yu saw it, he reminded, "Mother, that square box is for the table, and the long box is for hairpins, for my little niece and younger sisters."
