Chapter 6 Homecoming
Chapter 6 Going home ()
When I entered the yamen, I took a package, and the same was true when I went out, but the package became bigger and heavier, so Xie Hong's mood was completely different.
When he went out, he was still a little nervous. It was not because he was not confident about his skills, but because the pressure on life was too great. Fortunately, there was no way out, and a solicitation order changed all this, and this difficulty was over.
With a huge sum of 500 taels of silver, Xie Hong's feet were light and very much money! What's even more amazing is that he still has an official position! Although he is only a ninth-rank sesame official, such an official position is already very great even in this small county town. Chen Guangyuan, who was rampant in the village, was just an insignificant minor official, and he was already very powerful.
"I will definitely be very happy now. Next, I will first take the debt and then hire a smarter doctor to treat my mother's illness. Well, tonics and taking are also indispensable, as well as the rouge that promised Qing'er." Xie Hong was thinking in his mind while walking briskly on the road.
Thinking of what he had eaten, he started drooling himself. After traveling for half a year, this food was really not very good. It was okay to have mixed grains all day long, but it was really unbearable to have no meat. The vegetable soup with some oil flowers was already a delicacy. How could it be?
Only when he had just traveled through time did Xie's mother make meat porridge for him. Later, she sold land and ancestral jade pendants, and she was still in debt, so how could she afford to buy meat? In her previous life, handicrafts had gradually declined. Before winning the award, Xie Hong was not rich, but as a modern person, he still couldn't imagine the poor days after traveling through time.
She sighed at her misfortune in her heart, but Xie Hong did not go home first and went to the market in the south of the city. The small county town has convenient transportation and is quite prosperous, and the market has a complete range of things.
"Give me ten pieces of cloth!"
"Please wrap everything with rouge!"
"There is also five kilograms of essence! And that fish!"
The nouveau riche Xie Hong bought things, and he was very likely to buy things that he hadn't eaten in half a year and had never used in one go. As a young scholar, there were many people in the market who knew him, and everyone looked at him sideways.
"Isn't this Xie Xiucai? Isn't his family so poor that they can't get rid of the blame? Where did they get so much money to buy?"
"You are so unfamiliar with the news. Today Xie Xiucai went to the county government to offer treasures. The magistrate was very happy. I think he was rewarding him very much!" Someone who had visited the fun and said with disdain.
"A month ago, I saw him pawning the ancestral jade pendant with his own eyes. You didn't see it. That day, Xie Xiucai was embarrassed by that Gu Chao... Tsk tsk, I felt uncomfortable when I saw it. If the Xie family really had treasures, how could they still be humiliated?" The person who asked the question at the beginning was still very strange.
"I don't know, maybe the Xie family is really a descendant of the famous family."
These gossips came to my ears, but Xie Hongquan didn't care. He didn't care. It was true that living his life was going to be true. As for the pawnshop of the Gu family, those unscrupulous merchants would have to deal with them sooner or later! When he remembered the scene when he pawned the jade pendant that day, Xie Hong was also very popular. After traveling for so long, he was really bullied by these villains.
Ping'anfang, west of Beizhuang County, is the place where the relatively poor people live in the county. Most of the people here are trapped by their livelihoods and are busy all day long. No one even watches the lively atmosphere of the county government during the day. Until the evening, more people have risen.
Several naughty boys stood blankly on the side of the road, looking at the middle of the street stupidly. The curious ones looked at them, and were also surprised. Wow, there was such a large pile of packages, well, there was someone below, no wonder they moved.
Seeing the blue courtyard wall from afar, Xie Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and it was considered home. He was carrying it on his back and carrying it in his hand, and it was really packed with a lot of big bags, which made him very tired. Looking at the surprised eyes of the neighbors, he smiled self-deprecatingly. This family turned out to be too poor, which caused him to travel through for more than half a year, but he didn't even know what the price was. He only knew that herbs were very expensive for their family.
Today, he suddenly made a fortune and made a lot of purchases. Xie Hong realized that the prices in this era were really not high. 5 kilograms of fine pork were only one ounce of silver, and a piece of cloth was only eight yuan. Losing that the things in the TV series in the previous life were really similar. According to the plot, buying a candied haws on the street would throw them out with a ingot of silver. Now, it was really ridiculous.
The prices are low and the money is too much. Xie Hong couldn't stop buying it. He bought countless items from food to daily necessities.
"Second Aunt, I bought the cloth, went back to my house to cut a piece, and made new clothes for Erya."
"Xiao Liu, remember to come to me tomorrow. Brother Xie has something delicious here."
Seeing that the neighbors were all there, Xie Hong greeted him one by one. This era is not as cold as the human relationships of later generations, and the relationship between neighbors is very good. The Xie family has been in trouble for a year, and has been taken care of by many neighbors during this period, and Xie Hong is also grateful.
After saying hello a few times, he didn't respond. Xie Hong felt the atmosphere was a bit weird. He bought a lot of more things just to help the neighbors. He helped him when his family was in trouble, but why did everyone's eyes look so strange? Without envy, he was pity and... fear?
"Brother Hong, you'd better go back quickly..." The second aunt stopped talking, and before she finished speaking, her man pulled her into her yard. A low voice came from the yard: "What's the use of asking Brother Hong to go back! The result is not the same? Don't implicate our own family..."
What was wrong? Xie Hong felt something was wrong just now, and the abnormality of the second aunt's house deepened his doubts. He looked around, and no one from the neighbors looked at him, and they closed the door one after another. Several naughty children were also pulled into the house by their parents.
Oh no, is something wrong at home? A shocking thought flashed through Xie Hong's heart. He threw the pile of packages on the ground and ran to his home.
I was still far away and I heard the movements in the yard and there were quarrels!
"Xiao Qing'er, the Xie family is so poor, why are you still staying there? Let's go with me and make sure you eat delicious food and drink spicy food and enjoy it all." A despicable voice, his tone, was even more annoying. Xie Hong remembered that this voice was the bastard dictionary!
"No, don't come here, my brother Hong will be back later." It was Qing'er's voice, and the crisp voice was filled with fear.
"What can that sour scholar come back? I'm a dignified Dian Shi! Come with me, haha..." Dian Shi was extremely proud and laughed wildly.
This bastard actually came again! Hearing the movement in the yard from afar, Xie Hong was furious and ignored the gate of his own home. He kicked open the gate and broke inside.
Chapter completed!
