Brother Tang's expression changed, "You are not allowed to go up there again!"

Cheng Junyin did not dare to promise Brother Tang easily, so he could only change the subject and ask: "How much money do we have now?"

When money is mentioned, Brother Tang becomes energetic.

"Not counting the copper plates, we still have fifty-six taels of silver, which is enough to repair the house."

Chengjun Yin carried Brother Tang to the bed, "Then you will pay them the wages, okay? Brother

Tang tightened his grip on the quilt and asked uneasily, "Can I do it?"

Once he is asked to pay his wages, the villagers will know that he is in charge of the family's money. Wouldn't that make the husband lose face?

Moreover, could such a big thing as paying wages be done by a brother of his?

Cheng Junyin lay beside Brother Tang and held him in his arms, "If you can't do it, then I have to come, but I'm so tired and have a lot of things to do recently."

Brother Tang was in Yu Guo's The status is very low, and many wealthy families are not even allowed to marry their elder brother as their official wife.

If he earns more and more money in the future, it is inevitable that some short-sighted people will look down on or even bully Brother Tang.

He didn't want this to happen, so from the beginning, he wanted to let everyone know Brother Tang's position in his heart.

He wants Brother Tang that no one dares to bully or look down upon, and he also wants Brother Tang not to look down on himself, to value himself and to protect himself.

"I can!" Brother Tang grabbed Cheng Junyin's lapel, fearing that he would regret it, "I'll pay you the wages!"

He wanted to share the burden for his husband.

"Okay." Chengjun Yin blew out the candle, patted Brother Tang's back, and coaxed him in a low voice like a child: "It's time to go to bed, we have to get up early to go to the county tomorrow."

Brother Tang was busy. As soon as his eyes were closed, "I fell asleep!"

Chengjun Yin smiled and kissed his eyelids, "Sweet dreams."

Chengjun Yin was still sleeping when Brother Tang woke up. He carefully turned sideways and gently touched his eyelids with his hand. He gently traced Cheng Junyin's eyebrows.

My husband must have been exhausted yesterday, and he was reluctant to wake him up.

"Does it look good?" Cheng Junyin's eyes suddenly opened with a smile.

Brother Tang blushed and complained: "How can you pretend to be asleep, husband?"

Chengjun Yin pretended to be disappointed and said: "I thought my husband would kiss me to wake me up, and I have been waiting, but it's a pity that I only waited for my husband to come. "My little hand."

He grabbed Brother Tang's hand and kissed it on his lips. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Actually, the hand is not bad."

Brother Tang pulled his hand back with a whisper, and urged, "Brother-in-law, you should wait." It's urgent."

Uncle Niu didn't have to go to the county to work, so the donkey cart was used directly by Mo Er, and the rent was still the same as before.

"Okay, get up now."

Chengjun Yin lifted the quilt, and the cold wind blew, and he shivered with cold.

It's getting colder and colder today.

Brother Tang also wanted to get up, but Cheng Junyin pushed him back before the quilt could be lifted. "Wait a minute."

He stuffed Brother Tang's clothes into the quilt and covered himself with them. He put on cold clothes and rubbed them. He rubbed his hands and said, "I'll boil some hot water for you. You can put on your clothes after they're warm."

Brother Tang tugged on the clothes that were stuffed under the quilt, blinked and said, "Okay."

Waiting for Brother Tang to put them on . When the good clothes came out, Chengjunyin was already making pancakes. Brother Tang went back to the house and took two eggs to steam in the pot. He said to Chengjunyin, "One for each of us."

Her husband bought the eggs in the county. He needs to eat one to replenish his body every day, but the husband himself is reluctant to eat it.

Chengjun Yin hugged him from behind, leaned into his ear and said, "Okay, it all depends on husband."

Brother Tang struggled slightly, "I'm outside."

Chengjun Yin looked at his slightly red face. He couldn't help but tease him, "Do you mean you can do anything in the house?"

Brother Tang stiffened and stared at Chengjun Yin in shame, "Husband, you bully me again."

Chengjunyin laughed out loud.

When Cheng Junyin and Brother Tang went out, Mo Er was already waiting on the donkey cart.

Brother Tang got into the car and said embarrassedly: "I kept you waiting for a long time."

Mo Er smiled and said, "I didn't wait long."

Cheng Juanyin sat next to Brother Tang, shielding Brother Tang from the wind. , Mo Er said: "Duoyu Restaurant launched two new dishes yesterday. These two new dishes were very popular as soon as they were launched. Many people know that these two dishes are related to your sauce, and they are already asking about you everywhere. I'm afraid it won't be long before we find a place to live in the village."

Cheng Juanyin had already expected such a result and said quietly: "We'll talk about it later."

When they got to the county, Brother Tang and Cheng Juanyin got off the car. I rushed to the drug store, but when the drug store owner saw the ginseng they brought out, he either maliciously lowered the price, or the product was too expensive to eat.

Brother Tang was hit hard, but Cheng Junyin was not too worried.

Ginseng is a good thing. If the county can't eat it, he will go to Qinzhou.

Qinzhou is so big, it's impossible that it can't eat a hundred years of ginseng.

"Wait!" There was a call from behind. Cheng Junyin wasn't sure if he was calling them, but he still stopped and turned around.

A young man in brocade clothes ran up to them out of breath and asked eagerly: "Are you going to sell ginseng?"

Chengjun Yin protected Brother Tang behind him, looked him up and down, and asked: "You want to buy it? "

Buy!" The young master calmed down and straightened up, "Can I take a look at the ginseng?"

Cheng Juanyin took Brother Tang into a deserted alley, squatted down, put the backpack on the ground, and opened the cover. Lotus leaves on the backpack.

The young master's eyes lit up when he looked at the ginseng wrapped in lotus leaves, "One hundred taels, can you sell it?"

His grandmother's birthday was coming, and he was worried that he couldn't find anything good, but he didn't expect that he would find something good when he came out to relax. An unexpected surprise.

Cheng Junyin's eyes flashed, "Sell, you need silver, not banknotes."

Shanxiang County is very poor, so poor that even if he could sell the century-old ginseng here, he would only be able to sell it for eighty taels at most. .

"Okay." Young Master admired Cheng Junyin's straightforwardness and happily paid for it.

Cheng Junyin put the money away and was about to go out when he saw a group of government officials rushing in. The leader, Hao Duoyu, stared at him when he saw him. He winked at him behind his back and pretended to be cold, " I heard that you have a century-old ginseng here?"

Chengjun Yin lowered his eyes and said, "Sir, the old ginseng has been sold." Hao Duoyu breathed

a sigh of relief and pretended to be fierce: "No? Do you know that all the good things in the county must be shown to the magistrate first?"

Chengjun Yin was afraid that Brother Tang would be frightened, so he patted Brother Tang's hand to comfort him, and said without changing his expression: "You are stupid. I don't know about this."

Hao Duoyu said seriously: "It's your first offense. The county magistrate doesn't care about you. Tell me first, who did you sell this century-old ginseng to?

" "Yes." The young master looked at Hao Duoyu with a half-smile, "I am Qin Menglian, the son of the magistrate of Qinzhou. If you want this ginseng, ask the magistrate to go to my father in person."

The faces of the government officials changed slightly, except for Hao. Duoyu was overjoyed but pretended to be calm and said: "I will tell the county master about my humble position."

After the Yamen servant left, Qin Menglian closed his folding fan and asked: "You are a bit interesting brother."

The brother he mentioned was referring to. It's Hao Duoyu.

He was obviously a minion of Magistrate Yamaka, but he was happier to see the magistrate in trouble than to pick up money.

"Everyone has his own helplessness." Cheng Junyin knew that the magistrate of Shanxiang County was not a good person, but he knew that Hao Duoyu was a good person.

In the last life, when Brother Tang came to the county to sell mountain goods and was bullied, it was Hao Duoyu who helped him out. Seeing that Brother Tang was pitiful, he even bought all of Brother Tang's mountain goods.

For this reason, even though the yamen had a bad reputation, his first partner was still Hao Duoyu.

Qin Menglian's eyes changed, "You're not bad either."

After Qin Menglian left, Brother Tang asked worriedly: "Husband, will the magistrate get angry at you?"

Chengjun Yin gently rubbed Brother Tang away with his thumb. Er frowned and said, "No."

With Qin Menglian blocking him in front and Hao Duoyu speaking for him, the magistrate would not notice him in a short period of time.

Brother Tang held Cheng Juanyin's hand tightly, "Let's go back."

He didn't want to stay in the county anymore.

"Okay."

They originally wanted to take Donkey Lao'er's cart back, but unfortunately, Donkey Lao'er didn't come to the county town today. If they took a donkey cart from another village, they would have to walk a long way.

Chengjun Yin thought for a while and then said: "Brother Tang, let's buy a cow."

Brother Tang raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Really?"

Tianchong Village is too poor, no one has a cow.

Cows can only be owned by wealthy people. Although there is a huge sum of one hundred taels in the basket, maybe the money came too easily and he did not feel the reality.

It wasn't until her husband proposed to buy a cow that he had a vague feeling that his life would be different from the past.

"Of course it's true." Chengjunyin touched his fluffy hair. He looked up at Chengjunyin and asked expectantly: "Then can we buy some more chickens and ducks to raise?"

With chickens For ducks, there is an endless supply of chicken eggs and duck eggs.

Chengjun Yin laughed, "Okay, buy it."

"The money is all with you, you can buy whatever you want."

Brother Tang rolled his eyes, "Then I want to buy cotton and cloth."

He wanted to make a big one. The quilt allows him to roll freely on the bed. In this way, he doesn't have to squeeze into his husband's arms every day, as if he was in trouble.

Chengjun Yin didn't know what Brother Tang was thinking, so he said cheerfully: "Buy them all."

Cows are not something you can buy if you want. Chengjun Yin originally wanted to go to Yaren to inquire, but Yaren smiled and said: "Come on." It's better to come early than to come by chance. Someone just came to my place this morning and said he wanted to sell cattle. He walked on the front foot and you came on the back foot. Do you think it was a coincidence or not?"

Chengjun Yin and Brother Tang looked at each other and asked Yaren to lead them. Go see the cows.

The cow is just one year old and seems to have no major problems.

Yaren said: "This cow was born to the old cow in his family. Originally, he wanted to raise the calf and give it to his eldest son, but the other sons were unwilling. In the end, they argued and decided to sell the cow. Let's exchange it for money and divide it equally."

Chengjun Yin asked, "How much?

"

Chengjun Yin frowned in embarrassment, "Brother Tang, how about you give me another seven taels?"

Yaren always thought that Chengjun Yin was in charge, but he didn't expect that the person who was really in charge of the money was the handsome handsome man beside him who kept silent all the time. The young man, he was stunned and felt very complicated.

This was the first time he saw his husband managing money.
