How much is a person really worth?

This seems like an unanswered question in the 21st century, because the concept of life is priceless has been deeply ingrained. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, life really had a price.

In the fifth year of Tongzhi, that is, in 1866, Li Aibo, a famous literary historian and then a Tobu Langzhong, spent 280 taels of silver to buy a singer and go home as a concubine, this kind of singer is similar to the fourth- and fifth-tier stars in the 21st century, and it is still slightly worth a little money; In the fourth year of Guangxu, that is, in 1878, this Master Li spent another 130 taels of silver to buy a Xishi, which was relatively normal; In the end, in the thirteenth year of Guangxu, that is, in 1887, it was this Master Li who spent 180 taels of silver to buy a Wang.

How much you like to eat young grass?

It seems that today in 1872, it only costs about 100 taels to buy a little wife, so the little fat man offered 10,000 taels to Chuxue's family, which is indeed a bit high.

When Li Mu spoke, the cook who was still kowtowing just now was still looking at Li Mu with hopeful eyes, and when the little fat man finished speaking, the cook suddenly collapsed to the ground weakly.

No matter who looks at it, Li Mu doesn't look like a person who can afford 10,000 taels of silver.

Even if it was 10,000 taels of silver, in the minds of ordinary people, Li Mu probably would not use it to buy a servant, this price was too expensive.

Indeed, after the little fat man set the price, the children in the restaurant were almost dumbfounded. The future "pillars of the court" of the Qing Empire were not from a good background, and before they got on the ship, it is estimated that they had never seen what the silver coin looked like, and they had no concept of "10,000 taels of silver".

But everyone knows that there is no doubt that 10,000 taels of silver is a lot of money.

Hearing this number, Lao Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes were full of praise when he looked at the little fat man, and it was estimated that Lao Zheng would not have imagined that the little fat man would use this method to find the field.

The faces of the old Yan Tou family are now full of despair, even Yan Hu, who had been struggling just now, closed his eyes in pain, and as for the cook who was still begging just now, she has begun to cry loudly.

This number is too desperate for Lao Yantou's family.

Li Mu also disagreed with this price, but the reason for disagreeing was not because he didn't want to pay, but because he didn't have enough money.

Li Mu didn't hesitate, anyway, the money in his pocket was easy to come by, so Li Mu took out all the dollars in his pocket, and threw them directly in front of the little fat man: "Let's talk about it first, it's not enough for eight thousand dollars, buddy has spent a little too much in the past two days, and there are only more than seven thousand points here, do you want to love it." ”

Li Mu gave Mike $150 before and after, plus $24 from Old Man Chen, there should be $7,874 on him, Li Mu didn't hide it, took out his $24, and then gave the remaining $7,850 to the little fat man.

"Why don't we get off the boat yet, we don't even have a place to spend money, where did you spend all your money?" The little fat man is quite curious.

Li Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes, could the clothes on Lao Tzu's body and these pistol bullets or something all come out of tricks?

However, the little fat man didn't mean to pursue it, and Lao Zheng behind the little fat man let go of the first snow casually, happily picked up the money on the table, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The speed of this hand to hide money is also fast, faster than Li Mu's "gun pulling technique" that he has practiced for several days!

"Okay-Chu Xue is your person, you kid has a big bargain, Chu Xue, this little girl is still very good to warm the bed-" The little fat man smiled a little evilly, which made Li Mu's heart suddenly chuckle.

This - Chu Xue is not yet an adult, and the bones of the little body have not yet grown, so he should not be harmed by the little fat man.

In a blink of an eye, Li Mu overturned this idea, how old is the little fat man, it is estimated that the hair has not grown, even if he wants to do evil, it is estimated that he is powerless.

Warm the bed――

In the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the term really did not refer to an ambiguous relationship between a man and a woman, but literally.

Warming the bed is one of the responsibilities of the maid, in the cold winter, the maid should warm the quilt for the master before the master goes to bed, so that the master can sleep, as for whether there will be something to do, it depends on the posture of the bed warmer and the master's ability, at the age of the little fat man, it is estimated that there is no capital to do evil.

However, since Chu Xue is already Li Mu's person, Li Mu will not let the little fat man spend, so Li Mu is righteous: "Stop-since the buddy spent the money, then Chu Xue is the buddy's person, you should pay attention to this speech-"

Li Mu and the little fat man seemed to complete the transaction with a smile, and they immediately stunned everyone in the restaurant.

Except for Chu Xue's family, everyone looked at Li Mu with the same eyes as if they were fools, even including Mike, they really couldn't imagine that Li Mu actually had so much money, and he was really willing to buy Chu Xue's family with so much money, this is not like spending money, it's just spending money like water in the Pacific Ocean-

As for the eyes of Chu Xue's family looking at Li Mu, it was similar to seeing Taishang Laojun himself descend to earth, and the gratitude in his eyes simply made Li Mu feel like he was on pins and needles.

As soon as Lao Zheng let go of Chu Xue, the cook who was originally crying suddenly pounced, held Chu Xue firmly in her arms, touched Chu Xue's hair that was dragged by Lao Zheng with her surprised hands, hugged it and began to cry again.

It's just that anyone can hear the joy of loss and recovery contained in the cry, which is completely different from the tragic despair just now.

Lao Yantou was stunned, looked at Lao Zheng and the little fat man with a complicated expression, and kowtowed again, then got up and walked around the table to Li Mu, kneeling upright, and respectfully kowtowing his head.

That's what it means to confess the Lord.

It seems that the atmosphere is dignified and solemn, but Li Mu feels very awkward in his heart, no matter how he looks at Lao Yantou's actions, it is similar to worshipping his ancestors.

Although Li Mu from the 21st century does not want to behave too differently in this era, he is also unwilling to let others kneel over and kneel over, it doesn't matter if they are Qing people on the boat, if they get on the boat and let the Americans see this kind of etiquette, then the Americans will definitely not accept Li Mu, the remnant of the feudal dynasty.

Not only Lao Yantou, just behind Lao Yantou, the cook who was still crying just now was kowtowing with Chu Xue, Yan Hu and Yan Shun were no longer entangled, and Yan Hu, who was still angry just now, also came over to kowtow honestly at this time.

Not to mention, seeing this five-year-old man kneeling honestly in front of him, Li Mu really had a different kind of emotion in his heart.

In fact, whether in the 21st century or the 19th century, fate can never be in the hands of others, and if you want to control your own destiny and decide the fate of others, you must first make yourself strong.

At this moment, Li Mu urgently needs to become strong as soon as possible, and it is more urgent than ever.
