I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 272

The latter part will be revised tomorrow...

The little black cat was sharp-eyed. It saw him patting his face and quickly ran up to him.

I want to ask: "Why didn't Lu Xian come back with us?"

Unfortunately, the cat's life is difficult and it has to control itself even when speaking.

It sighed inwardly again. Apart from Shen Xiaoye, who would take time to talk with him, the other two were often nowhere to be seen.

I don’t know how much cloth Shen Changsui sold in Huitong Hall.

Of course all of them.

Shen Changsui sold the 300 pieces of cloth stored in Lu Guan's house and 5,000 pieces of his own cloth at Huitong Hall at the price of four cents per piece.

Accordingly, he did not bother to exchange for other items and only got back gold.

After that, he rushed home with the gold and went to the Wu family warehouse to pick up his mother.

After cousin Shen Cunhui picked up the people from the warehouse, he told them that they had to go home to see their parents.

Lin agreed and even gave him some change to buy books.

"I have to keep an eye on the dyeing. To make a long story short, I guess the cloth is sold out." Although Lin couldn't do heavy work, she could take care of the villagers.

When she was helped into a carriage by her youngest son, she saw a large bag of shining gold ingots.

"Sui'er?" She held on to her son to hold the car door, then climbed into the car and tied the bag tightly.

Shen Changsui smiled behind the curtain and said, "It's not much actually, the cost is not low."

Lin: “You are so brave, walking around with so much on your own.

Well, go tell your cousin and his wife, I will go home with you."

"I've been waiting for your definite answer." Shen Changsui didn't want his mother to sleep in the haystack, so he tried every means to send her home and he would take care of her from then on.

Coincidentally, when I entered the house the next day, I saw the old man selling cattle was also at home.

The old man was very happy: "Come on, come on, see how much the cows were sold for?"

"Have all the cattle been sold?" Shen Changsui knew that was impossible, so he carried the bundle to the table in the main room.

Old man Shen Shanyou couldn't stop laughing: "There are only fifty-eight left, and they are distributed among the villages to help each family cultivate the land.

We are not in a hurry to sell it, so we will keep it for a while.”

After a pause, he said to his wife, "Let's stay at home and take care of them, and let them go to the capital to work."

After running outside for seven or eight days in a row this time, he obviously felt that his body was exhausted. He had to admit that he was aging faster today than in the past few years.

The Shen brothers naturally agreed very much. They helped to sort out Huang's accounts. So far, after deducting various expenses, there were 680 taels of silver in cash.

The money from selling cattle is not included in the workshop business and is calculated separately.

“Alas, I don’t know how much Xiaoye can earn by running so far.

Although he is very young, he is always very competitive.

Especially this time, besides the Lu family's guards, there were only half-grown children around me. "Lin was a little worried, no, she was very worried.

"Mom, we agreed that I would go find them in two days." Shen Changshou had already delivered half of the cloth to the customer, and the remaining half would be dyed in a few days.

He said, "The cloth owner in the county said that he still has more than a thousand pieces of cloth to be shipped slowly, so he is not in a hurry."

Shen Changsui disagreed, "Dad, Mom, I thought Xiaoye was safe.

Not to mention that there were no strong men who dared to rob the road in the military towns along the way.

Just talking about the thirty guards of the convoy, even though they had lame legs and injured hands, they were still not people that ordinary people could afford to mess with.

This is a great opportunity for them to learn and figure things out on their own.”

The family members looked at each other in bewilderment. Aunt Huang asked worriedly, "What if it goes wrong?"

“It’s nothing more than correcting it and doing it again.

It's just a few thousand pieces of cloth. We have already earned back our capital before today. Even if she sells it for ten cents, it will be a profit." Shen Changsui has confidence in Xiaoye and Gengge'er.

Shen Changshou retorted: "It's only ten cents, why would you go through the hardship of traveling so long?

I have no objection to training them, but the family members should still meet in person.”

He gestured to his brother who wanted to say something else, and said, "If not for anything else, it's just for the peace of mind of my family."

"That's right. Changshou should go and just hide in the dark and act as a secret sentry." Shen Shanyou is also a generation apart from him.

He said, "The two children are young, so it would be better for them to learn more about how to do things."

"Yeah." Shen Changsui couldn't change the old people's ideas.

The two children had now been taken to the post station by Guard Chen, and the wheels of the cart had been repaired in time.

Shen Cungeng was particularly curious about the post station, so he and Erniu Zhuangzhuang went to visit the post station together.

Shen Xiaoye hadn't seen Lu Guan for a while, so she discussed with Guard Chen to go look for him.

Guard Chen said: "But the Fourth Master said earlier that if he doesn't come back for a long time, we need to wait two hours to find him.

If it's too early, it might affect his work outside."

Shen Xiaoye muttered, "He's afraid that you guys haven't found the exact location, and you're stuck in a situation where you're looking for me and I'm looking for you."

She hoped that Lu Guan would find a water source successfully. "Now, can we go to the big carriage store and have a look?"

"I'll go with the girl." Guard Chen had to take good care of her.

Shen Xiaoye quickly arrived outside the inn, where many carriages and horses were still stranded.

Amid Guard Chen's puzzled look, she let the little black cat out to play happily.

She herself was observing the people in the lobby, those walking around or gathering together.

Shen Xiaoye walked past a table and listened attentively to what the people gathered were planning.

It turned out that the people at the table were discussing the tea mountains in their hometown and how many salt permits they could get in exchange for this year's tea.

To be honest, Shen Xiaoye was very interested in salt permits, but it was best not to get involved in this business and just watch the fun.

……

Shen Yetang didn't know that her elder brother and cousin Shen Huai did not find a doctor and only took the medicine prescribed by Grandma Qi.

A quarter of an hour ago, Shen Huai came to Doctor Zhou's pharmacy, but found the door closed.

In the nearby villages, apart from Grandma Qi who is good at delivering babies and has medical skills, there is only one pharmacy, which is Doctor Zhou's.

He didn't have time to run to the county town twenty miles away to get medicine, so he could only turn to Dr. Zhou's house on the other side to call for help.

Fortunately, the door was open and he didn't get down. When Zhou's grandson let him in, he saw the head of the village was also there, "Cousin Ci?"

Zhouzhuang and Xiaozhouzhuang are close to each other, and there are many intermarriages between them. The daughter of the eighth master of the Shen family is the wife of the head of Zhou Village.

Therefore, as a relative of the Eighth Master, Shen Huai calling the son of the head of the village "cousin" was not considered as currying favor with the family.

Zhou Ci was almost turning a garden out of the apple trees in the yard. When he heard someone calling out, he stopped immediately, "Cousin Huai, did you hear the news too?"

"What message?" Shen Huai saw that his hair and clothes were messy, and there was even blood on the back of his hand: "Are you injured? Let's go get some medicine together."

Zhou Ci waved his hand: "I'm fine, just cut the ropes.

What's wrong with you? Didn't you come here to get medicine for Fourth Uncle's wound after receiving the letter? "

At this moment, he was discussing with the son of the village chief Zhou, who was waiting for the doctor to pack the medicinal materials, in the corner of the clinic: "Cousin Zhou, when you and Doctor Zhou see my father and others, you must send someone to wait for us at the city gate or the entrance of Xiangfu Restaurant."
