There is An Apocalyptic Man In the Village

Shiqiao Town near the new year's pass is much more lively than usual. People who come to the market can only be described by one word after another.

All the way to the town, I met a lot of villagers. Everyone, whether adults or children, was full of happy smiles. A hard year was the most relaxed and happy in these days. The taste of the new year was very strong. Every family was actively preparing for the festival.

When Lin Laogen drove the ox cart to the town, he asked Lin Tianbao to go shopping with Wu Qingyuan, amo and brother Zhou. He went to tie the ox cart with the two bedrooms, and then bought something for the new year.

"Brother Wu, sugar gourd, sugar gourd!"

"Brother, firecrackers, there are firecrackers!"

"Brother Zhou, look, little face man!"

Lin Tianbao is also a lively character. He is also a child. Once he arrived in the town, he didn't stop. He kept pointing to a wide range of things in the street and shouting excitedly. The children chirped and listened very happy.

Brother Zhou and Lin amo have always spoiled him. They take out their pocket money to buy things to coax the children. Wu Qingyuan is also generous. After a while, the children have a pile of delicious and fun things in their hands.

Ah Mo, brother Zhou also took a bunch of candied haws and kept shouting "cousin / brother Wu, look!" after all, they are only teenagers and have a young heart.

After buying some children's toys for Lin Tianbao, Wu Qingyuan took out the dowry list he had written last night and was ready to start giving Zhou Ge'er a dowry.

All the dowries in the list were decided by him after he knew the customs of Liushu village and thought carefully. He wrote a whole two pieces of paper. Brother Zhou and ah mo were learning to read recently, but they didn't know much. They didn't know what was on the list, but they were shocked just by the number.

"Cousin, this, this is too much..."

Brother Zhou was a little frightened by the two dense pieces of paper. He knew that his cousin was nice to him, but how much money would it cost to pay for the whole two pieces of paper dowry? It's almost enough for a normal little brother to marry some pots and mattresses. If he's better, he'll give some more money at home. My cousin's posture is really scary.

"Don't worry, it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. My cousin decides..."

In fact, Wu Qingyuan is a very strong person. His decision will not change. However, when he finishes talking to brother Zhou, he looks at Lin amo next to him. His eyes seem to be asking, what do you think of his daughter-in-law?

Of course, the tacit ah Mo understood what he meant. While secretly ashamed that brother Wu was not serious, he blushed and helped him convince brother Zhou "ah Xi, just listen to brother Wu."

The truth is that only when the dowry is more than her mother-in-law's family can have confidence. Sensible little brothers and girls understand that Zhang Dazhu likes to return to brother Zhou, but with so many brothers and sisters and a large number of sister-in-law in Zhang, there will inevitably be friction between them. Even if her mother's family supports her, she can't watch it from time to time. Only from the aspect of dowry can she let her mother-in-law know the attitude and confidence of her daughter-in-law's mother's family.

Wu Qingyuan's list does look a little too much. It's almost more than the dowry of a girl in the village. It must cost a lot of money. If other girls know that their future husband will do this, they will feel a little uncomfortable. They feel that he ignores his family's eccentric cousins and relatives, but it doesn't exist here. He listens to Wu Qingyuan for good and bad, The idea is simple.

Both Wu Qingyuan and ah Mo advised him. Brother Zhou couldn't refute. He could only move and go away with Wu Qingyuan to buy his own dowry.

When he started buying, brother Zhou was really shocked.

Gold and silver jewelry, cloth garments, dragon and Phoenix quilts, mattresses, son and son barrels and other things are all standard equipment for rich girls in the town when they get married, and they are all good one by one. They cost five or sixty Liang in pieces! Because there are more gold and silver ornaments.

Don't mention brother Zhou's stupidity in the whole process, but Lin amo was frightened. They didn't know how much silver Wu Qingyuan had, but the two brothers had never seen so much silver since they were so old. Fifty liang of dowry was top of the family property of a family in the village!

And last time he went to the Lin family to propose marriage, he spent no less than this time. Last time he was only a yellow cow, nearly twenty Liang. Considering this, the two young brothers had an idea in their minds at the same time. His cousin / future husband seems to be a little bad at living. He always likes to send money out.

But no matter what the two brothers think, Wu Qingyuan is very happy and happy to buy it. He is not soft to spend money.

Everything can be saved, but we must not be stingy in such things. These things are only the most basic things. The dowry really prepared for brother Zhou is behind

"Brother Wu, this way!"

Walking in the street, Wu Qingyuan suddenly heard someone call himself.

Looking back, I saw several big men in fur coats in the small restaurant opposite him smiling and waving and shouting at him. Suddenly, his face also showed a happy look. He walked quickly with brother Zhou, ah Mo and Lin Tianbao and entered the restaurant.

Several big men asked them to sit down and asked the waiter to add some dishes.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here? Is business going well?"

After sitting down, Wu Qingyuan said hello with a smile. These big men are not others. They are the team of boat merchants he met on the grand canal when he crossed. These people travel south and North all year round. They don't expect to meet again.

"Smooth and smooth, with the things you taught us by brother Wu, our boat is stable this time. There is no accident at the devil river. What about brother Wu, how are you now..."

The big man he called brother Jiang was also very happy to see him. They often encountered difficulties when going out for business, especially when traveling on the sea and river. If something happened, it was small to lose the goods, but it was not cost-effective to lose their life. Some modern navigation techniques taught by Wu Qing were very helpful to them.

Laughing and patting Wu Qingyuan on the shoulder, the man's eyes fell on his left and right brother Zhou and ah mo. seeing that they were very close to his seat, he couldn't help laughing.

"These two are neijun? Hahaha, brother Wu, I haven't seen you for half a year. You're lucky."

You can't blame the big man for making blind guesses. Generally, the little brother won't walk alone with a man in the street. Unless he decides to kiss or becomes a husband, he will be gossip. Moreover, the three people are very close after sitting down. It's not difficult to see that the relationship should be very close, so the big man makes fun of him like this.

Brother Zhou and ah Mo are little brothers. It's not good to talk directly to the big man. Sorry, Lin Tianbao is a child again. Seeing that they are big and afraid of being quiet, they began to be good children. Wu Qingyuan smiled and took the initiative to explain and introduce them.

"Brother Jiang is joking. He forgot to introduce you. This is ah Xi, my cousin. He is the family I'm looking for. This is ah mo. he is the Zhengjun I haven't been to. This is Tianbao, ah Mo's brother."

After that, he introduced amo Axi and others to "amo Axi, these are the caravans I came to Shiqiao Town by boat. Brother Jiang, they also saved my life. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get to Shiqiao Town..."

"Brother Jiang, brothers."

They said hello politely.

Lin Tianbao also called Uncle obediently. The children were very likable. The rough men of the caravan took out their sugar and snacks to him.

After a brief introduction, the man began to chat. Ah Mo was usually lively, but he didn't interrupt on the occasion. He sat quietly with brother Zhou eating and listening to them.

Wu Qingyuan and the people of the caravan had a good chat here. They didn't know each other for a month, but they hit it off.

According to Jiang Da and others, they originally planned to go back before the Chinese new year, but this year, the river in Shiqiao Town has frozen in advance, and ships can't sail. They can only return home after the ice turns in the spring of next year.

"Hey, I have to spend the new year outside again this year. My daughter-in-law was pregnant when I left. She said she would go home after the child landed. Now it seems impossible..."

Jiang Da and others lament that their hometown is far away. They basically stay at home for more than half a year every time. They stay at home for only one or two months. They gather less and stay more with their family in order to make more money and make their family feel better.

"Brother Jiang is relieved. My sister-in-law always understands you. Do you have any plans in these months?"

Wu Qingyuan comforted.

"Well, to be honest with brother Wu, we can't go back now because the river is frozen, so I discussed with my brothers and decided to go back to the Sith country later and exchange some gemstones, agates and spices“

Jiangda also stopped hiding and said his plans to wait for others.

The purpose of their business is to make money. They try their best to exchange goods from various countries and earn the price difference. Now the river in Shiqiao Town is frozen and can't return. It will take several months to wait for icing. Naturally, they can't just wait in Shiqiao Town and waste their time.

Therefore, after discussion, the people of the caravan decided to go to the Sith country again. Anyway, it's too late. It's better to drag home for a few months.

The Sith country is not far from the border of the state of Xia. The round-trip journey and the time for intermediate goods trading are only three months at most. Its country is rich in gemstones and spices. If you are lucky to take it back, you will definitely make a lot of money. Maybe they can have a good rest next year.

Just... Speaking later, Jiangda suddenly stopped, looked at others in the caravan, hesitated, and stared at him like he wanted to talk and stop.

"Brother Jiang, you may as well speak frankly."

Wu Qingyuan saw that they should have something to say to him.
