Chapter 242 The old goods, marked

After hearing this, Huang's father gently untied his fur, carefully stacked it together, then found an open space in the house, slowly sat down, stroked his beard and said, "After something happened to E Niang, I sent someone to Haizhou to inquire, saying that this person Shi Meng was also knocked on the way by the kidnapper. He rubbed all his clothes, fed the sweat pills, threw him in E Niang's carriage, tied his hands and feet all the way north.

It is said that this person completely forgot about his past relationship afterwards, spoke very rudely, and was rampant in his work. I didn't like such a man with no origin to marry E Niang, but E Niang stayed in the carriage with him naked and lived with him every day. If he didn't marry him in the future, who could he marry?"

Wang's mouth suddenly grinned and quickly lowered his head to cover up: "Officials, even such matters in the county are recorded in the case file. Hasn't E Niang's reputation been destroyed? If you have this intention, don't implicate Rong Niang."

Huang's father shook his head: "Haizhou County is very familiar with the matter. There is no record of these things on the case file. These matters were explained to Butler Lin in private by the county magistrate Meng. Don't worry, the yamen runners took care of them afterwards, and no one told the truth.

Alas, I originally planned to pinch my nose and recognize Shi Chuan, but a few days ago, I went to find a disciple of Haizhou with Lin Xiang and Lin brother to inquire about it. They said that the Shi Chuan had sent someone to come to recognize his ancestors and return him to his hometown... It seems that Shi Chuan was also very favored by Shi Chuan. They specially divided a house and bought land in Haizhou to take care of Shi Dalang nearby.

Speaking of this, Shi Dalang's family is not low. In addition, Shi Dalang's method of making money is more than enough to match our E-mother. Therefore, the problem now is not whether E-mother or not, but whether others will marry.

What family is our family? My father just got a small official. Now he is writing books at home to entertain himself. I am a concubine son. After the separation, he has been in the imperial examination for several consecutive years, and he has been working hard for all his family. Now he can't even take out the dowry of E Niang - have you not seen it just now? Miss Xu was ordered by me and repeatedly called him "son-in-law," and the other party did not respond.

In the future, you should be more concerned about this matter. If E Niang marry Shi Dalang, the other party has a prime minister's family. If E Niang gets into the prime minister's family, it will be helpful to Rong Niang's marriage in the future. Maybe Rong Niang can marry into a luxurious family. Besides, you just said that you hope Shi Dalang can help Rong Niang's dowry. I think Shi Dalang is very loose and has a good relationship. Maybe your hope will be realized.

If you look back and teach Rong Niang more, do you still remember the actions he did when he gave Xuan'er and Rong'er gifts? He was so unhappy that he had nothing. As long as he could coax him well, there would be something in front of you. You could throw these worthy things under your feet without tickling them for a moment. Let Rong'er not offend her sister in the future, so she clearly told her that her parents were in trouble and that she would count on her brother-in-law for her future dowry.

Humph, I heard that Shi Dalang was busy making money in Haizhou and planned to marry more than abducted women one by one. He could prepare dowry for those strange women, so how could he not prepare for the relatives' sister?”

After a little retrenchment, Huang Dad pointed out the things underground: "Put it all up. Now we have seen the New Year's goods, and our family's New Year's goods are not ready yet. You should go out now, hire two servants to go out to buy all the New Year's goods, and ask Miss Xu to take a look at these things... Don't worry, isn't there a order? Go back and check it according to the order.

Besides, after the New Year, the yamen opened the seal, and I took a new official body and sent my concubines out. This New Year must always make them live happily, right? So even if one or two items are missing, I will give them a reward for each of them, so I want to have a happy celebration."

Wang quickly jumped up, pointed out several valuable objects, and reminded them one by one: "This, these gold, tin, rhinoceros leather, silk, and crane cloaks cannot be divided. I have arranged the purpose. Those little stools are very cute. Just give them to a few concubines."

Huang's face turned green, and these things could not be shared by his beloved concubine. So what else could I be happy about? Stool, little stool, what is this? Huang's father stared at the list in his hand and said maliciously: "Little Hu stool, you are willing to do it. This list says that the pimp tied to Hu stool is also rhino skin."

"Then leave the little Hu stool. I saw that this little Hu stool is exquisite and small. If you go out for a spring outing in the future, bringing such a little Hu stool will not take up any space, and you can also save face."

Huang Dad endured it and explained patiently: "With such a son-in-law, will we still have to worry about not having these things in the future? Look at Shi Dalang, you have to throw them down without raising your eyes. Madam, your vision is a little bigger. After the New Year, I will go to Haizhou County or Shuyang County. I am close to Shi Dalang, and I can visit his house at any time. These travel supplies - when you come back from his house, can't you ask him for it? When you ask for it at that time, it will not be your current identity. How can he not give it to you?"

Wang gritted his teeth and said reluctantly: "Okay, this set of purple gold tea set is incomplete anyway, and my uncle still has half of it. You can share a few cups with my concubines and maids. If you don't have enough, you will ask my uncle for it. The stove and teapot cannot be divided, and there are silks. I will take all these silks away, and I will take my children to the street to measure their clothes... I don't know if I can make new clothes before the New Year."

Huang's father stroked his beard and pondered, "Qu has a son, so it's hard to let her go out. I thought that Qu can stay. In addition, Xu and Xiuxiu are old and the other are too young. If they are reluctant, stay and the rest will be sent."

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows and was happy: "I'll listen to the officials."

At this time, Shi Chuan was walking towards Lin Xiang's house. Poor, he sat at Huang's house for so long, and didn't even have a meal. Because he was hungry, he walked through the noisy Zhouqiao Night Market - centered on the tall city tower, with houses on both sides lined up, including teahouses, wine shops, butchers, temples, public halls, etc. The shops were specialized in silk, satin, jewelry, spices, incense, paper and horses, etc. In addition, there were medical clinics, car repairs, fortune-telling, face repairs, plastic surgery, and all walks of life. The doors of the large shops were also tied with "Cailou Huanmen", and the city was hung to recruit flags and attract business.

There are pedestrians in the streets, and there are endless streams of people doing business, gentry watching street scenes, officials riding horses, hawkers, family members riding sedan chairs, monks carrying baskets, tourists from other places asking for directions, children in streets and alleys drinking in restaurants, disabled elderly people begging by the city, men, women, young and old, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, all kinds of education and all kinds of transportation. All their means of transportation include sedan chairs, camels, cattle, horse carriages, rickshaws, flat carriages, all kinds of carriages, all kinds of things.

In this Song Dynasty, where there is no curfew, people are resting in teahouses, fortune telling, and dining in restaurants. Boats come and go in the river, connecting from head to tail, or boatmen rowing. Some are loaded with goods, going upstream, and some are docked and parked, and are unloading nervously. This is the famous Zhouqiao Wharf area, with traffic flowing and bustling, and it is truly a meeting point for water and land transportation.

On such a night, when traveling through people, he walked slowly through the prosperous scenery of the Song Dynasty with several donkey carts.

On the other side, Lin Xiang was anxious at home. Knowing that Shi Chuan was coming tonight, he specifically turned down his date tonight and sat at home blankly, waiting for his financial backer to come. When the nearby ghost market (night market) remembered the noise, Lin Xiang was already hungry and roared, and finally waited for the knock on the door.

Faced with Lin Xiang's warm greeting, Shi Chuan's attitude became much more casual. He turned around and ordered to remove the things from the donkey cart at will, feeling very hungry. As soon as this thought was revealed, Lin Xiang quickly called for a midnight snack from the nearby ghost market. Everyone lit candles casually, holding a bowl of snoring to eat while snorting, while snorting the luggage all over the room.

Shi Chuan was still humble and explained that all this was old goods. Compared with Huang's father, Lin Xiang's attitude was much easier. The ground was full of fresh things that he had never seen before. He also asked the servants to show the specific uses one by one, and then praised: "It turns out that they are children from wealthy families. I have never heard of these things. Although they are all old goods, cleaning them is also a rare thing to take them out. Not to mention anything else, just this stove, what is the old goods, and it is even more rare to take them out."

What my uncle Lin Xiang wanted to say is that Shi Chuan is worthy of being a child from the prime minister's family. He knows that many things that ordinary people don't know, and even daily necessities are unique beyond the imagination of ordinary people. But Shi Chuan made Lin Xiang's meaning out of his mind. He chewed the rice in his mouth, nodded and smoothed out the old things in his family: "That's right, I remember a book said that a family lay an old carpet, and the carpet looked very damaged and old. When the family who came to visit saw this carpet, they felt ashamed. They lay a new carpet in their own house. They worked hard for a lifetime to have the financial resources to lay a carpet on the floor of the house, and other people's houses had already broken the carpet. This is the gap. Even the worn carpet in front of them is an antique for visitors. They can sell it out and buy the entire house of Hakka.

The person who tells this story commented: The existence of old goods is a symbol of identity, and the long origin is the difference between aristocratic and a commoner. The old goods from aristocratic family can last for hundreds of years, while the things from ordinary people are basically brand new. The so-called class difference is roughly presented here - you have worked hard all your life and finally sold a carpet, but someone has already stepped on it several lifetimes ago. It makes sense that "three generations of training a nobleman" is.

What my uncle just said is actually this principle - although these things are old things, they are used by themselves, which presents a family's century-old history. If you go out to buy a new one now, it is called "outbreak". After using these things, my uncle saw the new goods bought by others and casually said, "My family no longer used things as treasures hundreds of years ago." Haha, isn't this the "family heritage"
