Chapter Ten The Girl
The two of them found a carriage at the Carriage and Horse Shop, and they definitely didn't want to go back. Fortunately, this is a big market. As the largest shopping mall in Jiankang, the products sold and the services provided are very complete, otherwise it would be ordinary.
The city is really hard to find.
Liu Sanyi's initial suggestion was to take a cheaper sedan, but Liu Yifu rejected it. The reason Liu Yifu gave was that the sedan was too bumpy and he couldn't bear it. Of course, it was just an excuse, as long as the money was in place... In fact, Liu Yifu
Yifu, deep down in his heart, still resists using people as livestock, even if he chooses a more expensive carriage, even if others think he is very prodigal.
Young Master Liu also understands that whether he is himself or the ancients, some values are formed over many years and cannot be changed by people of this era. He does not mean that he can adapt to certain values of this era in just three or four years. Liu Yi
Fu will not force others to accept his own ideas. Of course, if he has the opportunity to gather a group of people, he will also change some of their ideas appropriately, but there is a high probability that he will have to sit in the highest position in the future, no.
There are too many changes to be expected. For example, if Liu Yifu dared to play the Mindi Republic before AD and you dared to delegate power, then you can imagine that you will be directly ignored by the old and fat officials who have become sophisticated, and then be eliminated by the bureaucracy.
Iron Fist teaches you how to be a good person...
Of course, if you live in a prosperous age, the society is stable, and you are not a royal family, you are destined not to ascend to that position, and you can only be under one person in your life. For this kind of people who can only be suppressed through "sensation between heaven and man"
With extremely expanded power, a single word from the other party can remove one's shame and kill one's own body, and one naturally has unreasonable power of life and death over everyone.
If other people may feel that they are accustomed to it, but they themselves will feel extremely uncomfortable rejection and want to resist, then they will have to form a so-called "party for personal gain" to develop their power, and in the end they may become "rebellious officials and traitors" recorded in history books.
Of course, this is not the perspective that Liu Yifu was born as a 25-year-old. His butt determines his head, and he sees the problem from his point of view.
Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, you can change your ideas later and take your time...
However, from Liu San's perspective, this was because the husband was considerate of him. If he took a sedan, he could only follow on foot, but if he took a carriage, he could also sit in front of the carriage with the driver.
…
Shopkeeper Zhang of Lingse
It's like a spring breeze, very comfortable, and when faced with other people's embarrassments, they can always make things right.
The other party is a guest, and his identity is still uncertain. Therefore, shopkeeper Zhang will not have some random thoughts because of his age. People are smart, and don't bully a poor young man into something like a slap in the face. Well, there are very few opportunities to meet him normally. Yes.
At the end of the day, shopkeeper Zhang still stood up and sent the "two brothers" of the Liu family out according to the etiquette of seeing off guests. There was no fault in his etiquette, and then he turned around and returned to the second floor.
As soon as the fat shopkeeper went upstairs, he found that the futon on which Liu Yifu had just been kneeling on the second floor had been put aside. There was a new futon in its original place, and a girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting on her knees.
, it seems that the other party may be a bit mysophobic.
The girl has a pretty face, no makeup, a slightly pointed face, and clear eyes that follow the figure of shopkeeper Zhang, reflecting the other person's figure. There is a faint tear mole under her left eye, which makes her eyes even more charming.
Most women today like to wear underskirts, but she wears a more complicated Hanfu with a curved train. The clothes are just plain color, without other complicated embroidery patterns of flowers, birds, fish, insects, etc., and she has a light pin on her head.
Chai, her hair is pulled up loosely. The girl's clothes are a bit plain, but her temperament is natural. If Liu Yifu had seen this girl when he was here just now, he would definitely curse. Although this yellow-haired girl has not yet grown in figure, she has a long face.
Still really not impressed.
If Liu Yifu, a woman of this age, came to see her, she would definitely reveal her youthfulness. However, in this era, many girls of this age are already mothers, and some even have several children.
Seeing that this girl has not met in person, we can judge that she is not married yet and can be said to be an "older leftover girl".
Population has always been an important resource in all dynasties. In the Han dynasty, it was mandatory that if a girl was not married until she was 15 years old, she would have to pay double the tax. In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was stipulated that a man of 15 years old and a girl of 13 years old could get married, but there was no compulsion. It was caught in the middle.
In the more chaotic Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, social unrest caused by wars and other man-made factors caused a sharp decline in the population, and they were forced to advance the age of marriage earlier. This girl has not met and is not married yet, so at this time
There’s nothing wrong with calling her an “elderly leftover woman.”
What Liu Yifu didn't know was that his father had already known about his dark history of jumping up and down at home, but he was just too lazy to care about it. He also had long wanted to get him engaged and get married early. Having a family would allow his eldest son to take care of things.
I just haven't found a suitable family, and I have been marching south and north, and I always don't have much time. Didn't I just go to suppress the noisy Yan State in the north not long ago. I guess Liu Yifu will be dumbfounded if he knows about it.
We got engaged at the age of 18. Dad, at what age do you plan to get me married? You're cheating on me! Oh no, you're cheating on your son!
Young Master Liu has always had a lot of drama in his heart since he was a child. He knows that if he says something, many people will be angry to death, but before these people become angry to death, they will be killed and whipped to death in minutes.
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't show any surprise when he saw the other party, as if he was used to it:
"You were behind the screen just now, right?"
The girl's big eyes curved, and she said with a slight smile:
"When my uncle came up, I was reading a book here. I had no choice but to have someone bring me a futon and hide behind the screen."
Shopkeeper Zhang was also a little helpless. He was so old that he couldn't tell that this was just an excuse. It was just that his niece was not married yet at her age. He, as an uncle, also blamed himself. He had made insinuations a few times and had made similar mistakes to others.
The opportunity of my own choice. But my niece has no such idea, and I can’t force this poor person whose parents have died. After so many years, the hurdle in my heart should be over. I want to give my niece a good marriage...
"What do you think of Liu Yifu?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked, well, it's self-evident.
The girl didn't understand what her uncle was thinking, so she said helplessly:
"I think Liu Yifu is a little dull. Liu Yi is really good, but he is too young."
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, and his views on the "brothers" were basically similar. However, the matter of marriage could not be so hasty. He just wanted to explore it first to see what his niece's criteria were for choosing a mate.
The girl didn't doubt him. After all, her age was here. It was normal for her uncle to be anxious. This situation happened many times. After all, compared to the matchmaker, her uncle still respected her wishes. The young man was
Yes, but the person is really too small.
"By the way, Qing Bo Wen Qiang, does anyone know which history book the allusion 'Lu Nazhang Nephew' comes from?" Shopkeeper Zhang seemed to have remembered something and changed the topic.
Shopkeeper Zhang knows that his niece often likes to compare herself to Xie Daoyun. She often regrets that Xie Daoyun married the dull Wang Ningzhi. He also knows that his niece does have such talent, and he has similar fears about his own marriage. He can only
She said that fortunately, her niece no longer has the pressure to get married, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
Unexpectedly, the other party smiled and replied:
"When I just heard what the young man said, I almost lost my voice. Lu Na has some reputation, and I have heard about it, but it is definitely not from the history books."
So the girl told shopkeeper Zhang the whole story.
It turns out that this Lu Na was from the Jin Dynasty, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not dead. He died a few years ago, how could he be included in the history books so quickly? This is a matter of common sense, so this girl laughed at this.
Among Lu Na's relatives, Lu Xun, the governor of Soochow, who was promoted a few generations earlier, has already appeared in the "Three Kingdoms". Of course, thanks to Lu Na himself, he is also very famous among the gentry, "Lu Na's nephew"
This matter is quite famous at the moment, so the two of them did not become suspicious. They just thought that Xiao Pengyu wanted to be superior and just quoted something and dropped it from his book bag.
However, it is obvious that this girl is also a knowledgeable person, and the things she knows are quite complex, otherwise she would not have reacted so quickly.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to remember something, and then asked:
"I remember that my uncle clearly had new tea that had not been dried yet. Why did he tell that young gentleman that he didn't have it?"
Shopkeeper Zhang laughed and then said:
"This is because you don't understand business. In fact, the reason is very simple. As soon as the young gentleman asked if there was any undried new tea, the servant knew that he might want to buy it. However, this product is not an ordinary product, but if the servant and that man
The young man said yes, but the two parties were actually in a business relationship, and there was no personal relationship at all. But the servant said no, he needed to rely on his own connections, and had to wait for two or three days, and what they got would not be so easy.
, then you have to be a servant, of course this is a small love, sharing profits is a big love."
After saying this, the fat shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little proud. Of course, he didn't tell his niece that profit sharing was just a gimmick. It's the best to make money if you can, and we won't lose if you don't.
"Is it worth asking a child to express his gratitude to my uncle for doing this?" the girl asked curiously.
The fat shopkeeper smiled and said, "I have traveled all over the country for so many years and I have met a lot of people. Never underestimate anyone. Confucius said, 'When three people are walking together, there must be one who is my teacher.' What's more, this young man's identity is not simple.
He still has some tricks to recognize people."
"First of all, the older man must not be his brother. He may be a friend or relative. Secondly, this business is actually dominated by the younger man. The older man is not good at words. I guess the girl also heard it.
Although the husband is young, he appears to be mature. He does not panic at all when unexpected things happen, and he treats people in an orderly manner, which is very valuable for a child of such a young age."
To sum up, in fact what shopkeeper Zhang said was "premature". Well, if he knew that Liu Yifu's two lives combined were almost thirty years old, he would probably understand.
The fat shopkeeper paused, raised his head slightly as if recalling, and then said:
"The young man is wearing brocade from our Shu region. Nowadays, a piece of high-quality Shu brocade is worth 20,000 yuan. It is still priceless in the market. It can be seen that this young man's family is not short of money and he is powerful.
, so it’s better to form a small romantic relationship, maybe it will be of great use in the future.”
The reason why Liu Yifu really made up his mind to do whatever he wanted was fully accepted by the fat shopkeeper, maybe Liu Yifu didn't expect that it turned out to be the Shu brocade in him...
The fat shopkeeper glanced at the girl and sighed secretly in his heart. This is also for you, but the big one is not enough. If the small one is suitable, well, you can't rush this matter, you have to take care of it slowly...
After hearing this, the girl smiled and said, "My uncle is indeed a very thoughtful person, and he has many things to think about."
