Chapter 61 Chapter 61
Zhang Fangyuan raised the corners of his mouth and leaned against the door frame, allowing Xu He to carefully look at the silver in the bag, making sure that the unruly silver ingots were heavy and hard-built, and it was even more unbelievable after they were all real.
I earned it by running back and forth in the past few days.
Xu He looked at the self-satisfied man, no wonder this man had asked for so much money in the first place, and it was for this.
He couldn't hide the joy in his heart, but he didn't dare to be too happy. He had to cross-examine clearly: This is not a few hundred pennies, hundreds of taels of silver, how can it be earned in a few days. Don't
Zhang Fangyuan stood up straight: Don't worry, it's definitely not a crooked way.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Xu He towards him: A while ago, I met a passer-by who sold fragrance dew. He tried to have a good product but didn't know it. He sold it to me at a price of twenty-two yuan per bottle of fragrance dew. I took it and sold it to Hualou, and the oiran bought it at a price of five taels.
Xu He was dumbfounded, and was once again amazed that Hualou could waste money like this, spending more than a hundred taels of silver to buy fragrance dew. That is a hundred taels, not a hundred words.
No wonder I always smell a faint fragrance on your body these days, it was dyed on your body when you sold the fragrance. At that time, he thought it was from going upstairs, but he didn't mention it.
Hearing the words, Zhang Fangyuan raised his hand and smelled it. These days, the fragrance comes and goes, and the smell is strong, but some of the light fragrance dyed on his body can't be smelled very much: Is it fragrant?
He couldn't smell it himself, so he moved closer to the tip of Xu He's nose, and was slapped.
There are still a few bottles left at home, if you like it, you can keep it for yourself.
It's such a valuable thing, the peasants in our village hold it like that pheasant into the phoenix flock. Xu He said: Since the price is high, why didn't they sell all of them, and kept some for themselves.
It's useful. Zhang Fangyuan said with a smile: I originally wanted to keep it for you. Since you don't want to use it, you should sell it.
It's up to you to be the master. Xu He felt relieved when he figured out the source of the money. In fact, he is a person who loves money. He was not in a hurry to be happy, but his mind was very clear: Even so, why didn't you tell me earlier.
Zhang Fangyuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the man, with a dangerous look on his face, as if he was running away behind his wife's back to make money: I didn't know that I would be able to sell that much money before, and I wanted to tell you when things stabilized. Originally I was going to take you to withdraw the money tomorrow, but things changed, so I can withdraw it today.
Xu He nodded slightly.
He asked again: Are you the top card sold to Yunliang Pavilion?
That's right, she contacts a lot of people every day, and knows many rich and noble people. She is also a woman, and she has more ways to sell things than me.
Xu He nodded again: Are you so familiar with her?
Zhang Fangyuan laughed: Are you unhappy?
Xu He categorically denied it: No, I just heard that Bo Er said that the first student is very beautiful. I don't know many people, and the most beautiful person I have ever met is the second sister.
That brat, he said he never talked nonsense to you. Zhang Fangyuan said: I used to work in it, so I must know the top card. I have some friendship with her, but nothing else.
Then what does she look like?
Zhang Fangyuan didn't feel troubled by Xu He's question, but he answered with great interest: The women and brothers in Hualou all wear heavy makeup, and they wear it like a flower rooster all day long. I haven't looked at it carefully. They all look about the same.
Xu He was skeptical about his words, but he felt that it was not impossible. Sometimes Zhang Fangyuan was very shrewd, and sometimes he was very nervous.
In fact, he just didn't understand why there were so many good-looking people out there, why he was chosen in the end.
Because no matter how many different people I met before, none of them made me want to make him happy.
Zhang Fangyuan leaned in front of Xu He's ears and said a few provocative words, the ears of those who coaxed him became hot, and his mouth was burned. He was about to take a bite: Ayuan, what did you call Brother He to say something, it's time to eat when you come out soon.
Zhang Shiyue's voice sounded outside the door, and Xu He slipped away in a hurry.
Hey, come right away.
Zhang Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and she was afraid that they would quarrel when she saw the man's aggressiveness just now.
Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Zhang Fangyuan wanted to post it again, but was pushed away by Xu He.
Zhang Fangyuan yelled: Cross the river and demolish the bridge, dismantle the mill and kill the donkey!
Xu He just buried his head in tying up the money, ignoring the big, stupid Sapo, and prepared to carry it home later.
I won't give you any money if you keep things from me in the future.
If it is more than ten catties of corn, he feels that it is not heavy when he is carrying it, but it feels extremely heavy when it is exchanged for the same amount of silver.
He felt a little dizzy, he had never touched so much money, and he didn't know how to be happy for a while.
Doing business only earns two or three hundred cash a day, and it can be seen that it has accumulated more over time, but it has increased little by little, and it has increased so much that people cannot react.
Knowing that Xu He must be happy, Zhang Fangyuan said, Think about it carefully, and you will be in charge of what you want to do with this money.
I thought about using it as soon as I earned it.
If you want to use money to make money, there will always be only so much there, and it will become less after daily expenses.
Xu He pursed his lips: Eat first, think about it when you get home.
it is good!
Although the two of them didn't express their joy very clearly, they both had smiles in their eyes, obviously something happy happened.
I don't know how long he stayed inside. When he went out, Zhang Fangyuan found that the sky outside had darkened, and the wind was blowing, rushing towards people in waves.
This wind is no longer cool and comfortable for people who are blown by the night wind, but it is overwhelming the momentum of destroying crops and houses.
Because the tea shed was built under the banyan tree, the tree embraces the wind, and the wind here is even stronger.
I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, and the guests are all gone. Hurry up and eat, and you all go home early today.
Zhang Fangyuan nodded quickly when he heard Zhang Shiyue's words, removed the sunshade seats outside, and carried all the tables, chairs and benches into the house: It hasn't rained much this summer. Fortunately, it didn't rain until late. If you rush At noon, the corn crops in the yard are drying, and the crops of many village households will suffer.”
Yeah, the weather in summer is changeable.
At night, the four of them had a simple meal together, and Zhang Fangyuan confessed: Although the tea shed is windy, it is newly built, and it is more stable than the other side at home, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Don't worry, it's okay, I can live in it. The villagers all live in thatched adobe houses, and they know how to deal with the heavy rain in summer.
The sky has begun to pull lightning, and the wind fills people's sleeves.
There was not much delay after the meal, today Xu He didn't stay to make tofu for tomorrow, he just took the burden that Zhang Fangyuan brought home and got into the carriage, the two of them drove Xiao Hei home as fast as possible, I'm afraid it will rain later.
The strong wind blew fiercely, and the branches along the road were pulled like a kite, and they were pulled to whichever way the wind went. Xu He buried his head on Zhang Fangyuan's waist, although he was also exposed to the wind, his heart was at ease.
Although Xiaohei ran fast, the rain came quickly too. After the two of them entered the village, finger-sized raindrops fell from the gray and black sky onto the wilderness. The raindrops were sparse at first, and then as the sky dawned, there was a loud thunder. The person was shocked, and immediately the dense raindrops fell, and they fell in an instant.
Zhang Fangyuan hurriedly took off his clothes and covered Xu He's body, and drove the horse shirtless. The raindrops fell on his naked body and it hurt a little: Tonight's rain is too heavy.
Xu He pulled his clothes away and covered him a bit: It's raining, I hope it doesn't blow strong winds.
It was only a quarter of an hour away from home when it rained, but the two of them were completely soaked when they reached the yard.
The chickens and ducks in the yard hadn’t had time to close, and the sensible ones had already gone back to the chicken coop to hide, but there was a stupid duck that lost the team and turned around in the yard, its feathers whitish from the rain were dusty , Seeing the person coming back, he immediately flapped his wings and screamed louder.
Xu He quickly put down the money, braved the rain to catch the duck and lock it in the chicken coop, and fed some food to the chicken and duck.
Zhang Fangyuan took Xiao Hei to the newly built pony pen in the backyard. Because it is not spacious, Xiao Hei usually does not like to sleep in it. The shed stayed there honestly.
Brother, don't be too busy. Go into the house, change your clothes and take a shower, or you will have a fever tomorrow.
While Zhang Fangyuan called Xu He to come into the house, he started a fire in the kitchen to boil water.
Fortunately, there is firewood under the stove, otherwise there would be no firewood to burn.
It took Xu He a while to enter the room, not to mention that he was all wet, even his hair was dripping with water. There was a lot of wind and rain outside, but after a while the water from the eaves straightened up, rushing down like a stream, and the courtyard under the eaves was kept in a row of puddles for tomorrow.
The two of them were wet, and when the water was hot, Zhang Fangyuan took two large buckets of water to the clean room to wash them together.
Xu He looked at the evenly bulging tendons on Zhang Fangyuan's shoulders when he was carrying the bucket, and wanted to stop him, but Zhang Fangyuan scolded him: Washing one by one is so late, beware of getting sick.
He had no choice but to close his mouth, and took the clothes of two people in and put them in. The man seemed to know that he wanted to help him with the clothes, but he had already taken them off in a short while.
Xu He blushed, put his clothes aside, took off his soaked and heavy clothes with his back on his back, poured a ladle of hot water from the top of his head like a person who fell into a deep river, and immediately became a little angry again. Although it is summer, it is still strangely cold to be drenched in such heavy rain.
Can you wash your back, or do you want me to help you?
I can!
Xu He answered immediately.
That's right. I can't wash it. Come and help me.
As soon as the words were finished, Zhang Fangyuan came up to Xu He with a bucket in his hand, and poured water on his back.
Xu He glared at him, and it was not so strange that he could get it without washing it together, but now he couldn't wash it together.
Zhang Fangyuan was afraid that Xu He would not be able to remember his back, so he sat down on the stool and turned his back to let Xu He wipe his back.
He waited patiently, and after a while, he touched his back with one hand. There was no flesh in that hand, and the shape of the slender and beautiful joints could be seen directly. There were calluses on the palm, and it was a little itchy when rubbed against his back. Seeing the nerves on his back itch to his heart, he couldn't help but think of something.
He closed his eyes slightly, and was about to sigh when suddenly his back felt hot, and the rubbing was too intense.
You use a dry loofah net!
Xu He smiled innocently: The table at the other end of the tea shed will be scrubbed with a dry loofah net dipped in saponins.
Zhang Fangyuan's shoulders are very broad, and his waist is narrowed inward. Xu He supported his back with one hand, and scrubbed it with a loofah net in the other. He felt that Zhang Fangyuan's back was broad, and scrubbing by himself was no different from washing a table.
You treat me like a table?
Zhang Fangyuan turned around and grabbed Xu He's wrist, trying to tidy him up, but seeing the wet man, he just poured some water on his face.
While the two of them washed a stick of incense, the rain outside did not stop, the doors and windows were closed tightly inside the house, and the candles were also swayed left and right by the wind that came in through the gap.
Zhang Fangyuan held Xu He in his arms, and brushed his hair carefully. Washing his hair in the rainy night would not dry it in a while, so it was still early, so Zhang Fangyuan used some charcoal and raised a brazier to torch his hair.
Xu He was sitting on Zhang Fangyuan's body, and his head was touched. He could already feel that the people behind him were a little excited, but Xu He was a little groggy from being roasted by the fire, and he didn't want to pay attention to it. After all, he often will be like this.
Leaning against Zhang Fangyuan with half-closed eyes, he yawned.
Zhang Fangyuan was still thinking about drying his hair and doing something else. He buried his head and glanced at the person in his arms, it didn't look like he was pretending. He touched Xu He's face, which was warmed by the fire: Are you sleepy?
Yeah. Xu He tilted his head and rubbed his face on Zhang Fangyuan's neck: Ayuan, I want to sleep.
Zhang Fangyuan couldn't bear Xu He's acting like a baby. Although he handed in a large sum of money today, he wanted to get some benefits. Seeing the situation, he still said, Go to sleep. I'll take you back to sleep after drying your hair.
Ok……
Xu He was a little sleepy in response, and his breathing became even after a while, and Zhang Fangyuan hugged him even tighter.
But he didn't want to, this person slept until almost noon the next day, Zhang Fangyuan was spinning around in the room in a hurry, and he didn't even come out of the stall.
