0257 Nanyuan Redemption
Mrs. Du's Pei Shi gave a salute, then turned back to the back of the screen, and then said softly: "Living in a distant country, the people and things you see have no old knowledge, which is already sad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Fortunately, the uncle came to visit, and the local voice is comforting, how can you talk about it. It's a pity that the first husband abandoned the world, and it was inconvenient for the tent to treat each other, otherwise how could I bear the uncle to come far away and choose another place to live......"
Speaking of this, Pei's tone was already a little sad. And Du He's mood is also a lot of sadness, in this foreign land, there are no relatives to rely on, and the old families in the past are all estranged, it can be said that he is alone in the world, and he has no relatives. But as soon as he thought that Pei's woman could barely survive in Jiangdong, he had no reason to retreat as a man.
"The death of the third brother is sudden, but since I am here, I will never let his family be left alone. There may be difficulties at the moment, but my family is originally a northland wangzong, known as a famous world, and it will never be unknown for a long time. When I come down in the middle of the capital, I will definitely take my sister-in-law and little niece to be raised. ”
Du He said in a deep voice, not so much to comfort Pei, but to make a wish in his heart, and never be willing to be poor and make his family's voice decline.
Pei replied behind the screen: "Uncle is not discouraged by the old robbery, and has the courage to take on the family business, this is the best." It's a pity that the woman has lived in the house for a long time and can't help the uncle more. When the late husband was alive, Su and Chen Liucai served the middle of the relationship, if the uncle had time, he might as well go to the ceremony. If you can get good help, you should be able to benefit a lot. ”
When Duch heard this, his mood couldn't help but be gloomy again. In fact, he had already visited Cai Mo a few days ago, and although this prince treated him kindly, he did not have any substantial help, but only issued a letter of recommendation, and asked him to visit the Jinliang Garden of the Langya Wang's family. Duhe also did what he said, but the name was sent for a long time, but there was no response.
For Cai Mo's refusal to help, Du He did not have much resentment in his heart. There is no deep old friendship between each other, and it is rare for the other party to be willing to look at his deceased brother's face and give a letter of recommendation, even if it does not receive effect, this kindness is enough to remember. It must be known that since he crossed the river, he has visited various families, even those who have a close relationship in the north, they are cold and alienated.
In the final analysis, Jiangdong's things are very different from those of China and North Korea, and it is normal for him to cross the river alone, and he has no reputation and reputation, and others are not optimistic about his future. There are really not many good friends like Chu Jiye who are not alienated by the flow of chances.
Inevitably adding more trouble to Mrs. Du, Du Heqiang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, please rest assured, the three brothers, all the good friends, I will visit them one by one later, and deal with them politely, and I will never fall into the family reputation and the reputation accumulated by the third brother." ”
Pei Shi was also quite relieved when she heard this, to be honest, she was a lonely woman living in Jiangdong, not only to raise her young daughter, but also to maintain the reputation of the family, and to guard against the public, she was already quite tired and unsupportable. Even if she can barely make ends meet, there is still a hidden worry in this woman's heart that makes it difficult for her to be happy, and that is the marriage of the little girl.
Although it is too early to say that her girl is still young at the moment, she will eventually grow up one day. Nowadays, Jiangdong people are very bad, and there is no shortage of people who are used to looking at people with their eyebrows and eyes. There is no male in her family to maintain the family reputation, and Pei's is afraid that when the time comes, her little girl is afraid that it will be a rare good match. If he really let the only bone and blood of the late husband flow in the cold family and ruin the family style, Pei really didn't know how to face the deceased husband's interrogation under the Yellow Spring.
Therefore, for Du He's arrival, although Pei's appearance is not good to make a transgression of etiquette, but in fact, his heart is extremely excited. If this uncle can reorganize his family's decline in Jiangdong, there will naturally be no problem in the future about the marriage of the little girl, only in this way, she will not be blind until she dies!
Seeing the old servant Cai Yuan carrying the many gifts sent by Du He to the door, Pei Shi couldn't help frowning and sighed: "Although the family is poor, it can be maintained at a time. Salt and rice are expensive in the capital, so why should the uncle waste money and buy too many useless things. ”
When Du He heard this, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are also a famous and noble girl, how can you grow up to be a servant." In the future, I will take care of the family, and my sister-in-law will no longer have to worry about it. ”
He said it was easy, but in fact, his heart was quite heavy. His family, Jingzhao Du, is one of the best two families in Guanzhong, and even if he suffers from hardship, Du He has no lack of arrogance in his heart. Chu Jiye gave him money, and although Du He was grateful in his heart, he was also awe-inspiring.
He never wanted to live under the shelter from now on, so he already regarded the trip to Shen Yuan in the future as a battle against the water. If he still can't make any gains, then he plans to leave Jiankang and go to the Northland to create a work. The situation in the north is a mess, and Duhe, who has just crossed to the south, naturally knows it well. He gave birth to such a thought, which is tantamount to having a will to die, and would rather die than be a useless person who begs for food and has been neglected for a long time!
Pei Shi didn't know what Du He was thinking, and after hearing the words, he couldn't help but think of the carefree and pampered life in his early years, but after a while, he sighed, threw all these meaningless memories behind him, and said angrily: "When the great calamity comes, what is the difference between the high and the low of human life. Embroidery and knitting is a lady's duty, which can not only cultivate the mind, but also supplement the family, and I am not embarrassed by this. Uncle should not force himself, even though there are many hardships in a foreign land, if he can survive it, he will have a wide open world. ”
"What my sister-in-law taught me is that I must remember this saying and think it is self-encouragement."
Du He said this, but he was not very optimistic in his heart, in the final analysis, he did not have the kind of Xuan Confucian endowment that his cousin Du Yi did, and what he learned was difficult to be valued in Jiangdong. Zuzhenxi, who crossed the river in his early years and then headed north, may be the object of his emulation.
Pei also advised Du He to be diligent and frugal in the capital, so as to maintain it for a long time. When Du He got up to say goodbye, she suddenly remembered something, asked Du He to stay in the hall for a while, then went to the back room to rummage for a while, and then hurried back with a delicate brocade box in hand, and asked Cai Yuan to hand it over to Du He behind the screen.
Duch took the brocade box and opened it, only to see that there was a small stack of brightly colored and oily paper, and many emojis with delicate and uniform lines on this paper were by no means delicate and delicate by human hand.
When Du He was still looking down, Pei Shi was already behind the screen and said with a smile: "This thing is the Nanyuan redemption ticket, and you can go to the Nanyuan to buy goods." The things in Nanyuan are all used by the nobles, and the situation of my family is really unbearable. It's useless to stay at home, and the uncle wants to socialize in the capital, so he can take it with him. ”
In the name of Nanyuan redemption, Du He also heard Chu Jiye mention that if he went to Nanyuan to buy goods, he could not only get discounts, but also enjoy many privileges. Many Nanyuan also do not have many in-demand goods, and they can only be bought by redeeming tickets. It's just that this redemption ticket is extremely rare, it is digested internally by the powerful people, and it is rarely circulated in the market, even Chu Jiye does not have it.
Holding this small box of redemption tickets of different denominations, Du He couldn't help but be surprised: "I also heard the name of Nanyuan redemption tickets, this thing has always been scarce, where did my sister-in-law get it?" ”
Pei Shi said with a smile after hearing this: "It is also a coincidence, a few years ago, Cai Yuan took my fabric out of the market, and met several buyers in Princess Danyang's mansion, and recognized that my fabric is a rare Luo embroidery in the capital, so I asked my family to deliver goods to the eldest princess's mansion in the future, and used this ticket to settle." After a long time, it also accumulated. ”
What Pei didn't say was that although these redemptions were rare, they were useless to her family, and some of the redemption notes earned were sold in the market to supplement the family. As for the batch that has been accumulated, it is planned to leave it for the little girl to buy a dowry in the future, so as not to be too cold. The reason why he didn't say it was because he was afraid of putting more pressure on Duch.
However, after Du He heard this, he was already busy putting the brocade box on the case, waved his hand and said: "This is my sister-in-law's hard work with a needle and a thread, how can I use it!" ”
Pei wanted to persuade again, but Du He refused to accept it, and even left the house as if he were fleeing.
After getting into the ox cart, Duch's mind was still on the redemption of the ticket he had seen earlier. For others, it may just be that they are impressed by the exquisiteness and ingenuity of this object, but what Duch is more touched by is the role of this object.
It is not the first time that Du He has seen similar bills, and even his family has similar things, but they are not called redemption bills, but merit. In the early years, his family operated the dock wall in Guanzhong, because there were too many people, and the resources were often scarce, so several elders in the family summed it up, and then used bamboo and wood to carve it into a small piece in the dock wall.
Thinking about it this way, his family's fundraising has many similarities with Nanyuan's ticket redemption function. However, Duch had heard from his father that it was expedient for a while, and if he wanted to maintain it for a long time, he must be assisted by a set of meticulous laws.
As soon as he thought of this section, Du He's mind suddenly brightened, and he thought of how to show his weight when he went to Shen Yuan in the future.
While recalling the many rules about the merits in the walls of his house in his early years, Du He urged the ox cart to move quickly, and soon arrived at the temple of the Heavenly Master Dao in Xiaochanggan, where he lived. Although it costs a shogun to live here, it is much cheaper than other apartments in the capital that offer guest houses.
When he returned to the guest house where he was, Du He found that all the attachés who had been ordered to stay here were not there, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, and went out to ask the Taoist priest of Guanzhong, only to learn that after he left home, the attachés all went to the mountain behind Guanyu and have not returned. This made Duch even more dissatisfied, so he put aside the previous matter and went up the mountain to find the attachés who were becoming more and more scattered.
The reason why he was nervous about these attachés was that Duhe actually had a hidden worry in his heart that he was ashamed to speak. He had come to the capital from afar, and his situation became more and more unbearable, and there was no lack of fear that these attachés would abandon him. If that happens, then he's really alone.
However, when he climbed the mountain and walked through a forest, he finally found the place where his entourage was staying, and when he saw the scene in front of him, Duch's body shook suddenly, and his eyes immediately became red and tearful.
