Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper

In autumn, the autumn wind is chilly.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wei Hu almost ran out of mooncakes. Except Wei Cheng left him a few boxes, he also spent a month's wages to buy mooncakes. He likes barbecued pork and egg yolk mooncakes the most. Others eat moon cakes and drink only tea, but he eats moon cakes and drinks only wine.

Wei Huchu yelled in front of Wei Cheng to ask Wei Cheng to continue making mooncakes.

A tall and thick man likes to eat moon cakes and pastries.

What expression should Wei Cheng use to say hello to him.

Wei Cheng didn't want to care about this guy.

Wei Hu shouted loudly: "I didn't finish eating alone. I drank and ate mooncakes. Mr. Lei also drank and ate mooncakes. After eating my mooncakes, he took away two boxes from me. He also picked egg yolk mooncakes and sweet-scented osmanthus mooncakes." The sweet-scented osmanthus mooncake, Niang Jiji, loved it at my brother’s and daughter’s house, so Grandpa Lei took it when he got it, and took away more than half of the egg yolk mooncake, and I was not allowed to tell it after I took it. I can’t say it, I’m so aggrieved!”

Eat sweet-scented osmanthus mooncakes, **** haw, when there are no moon cakes, you rough man still eat pastries, why don't you call yourself niang haw.

but-

Wei Cheng pondered, Wei Lei must have met someone on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wei Lei doesn't like eating moon cakes and pastries very much, but he often drinks with Wei Hu and others, and eats moon cakes when drinking, which is abnormal.

Zhou Yuan smiled: "Wei Lei won't let you say it, but you still say it!"

Wei Hu retorted bluntly: "Master Lei said that you can't tell others that the master and the master are masters, so it's no one else."

This logic is quite in line with Wei Hu's style.

I don't know that Wei Lei's background was exposed by Wei Hu, a big fool. I don't know if his non-indifferent look will be colorful.

"Is the moon cake that Leizi asked you to eat for himself?" Wei Cheng asked.

"No, it seems that I want to give someone away, and apologize."

Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan looked at each other, there was a question, Wei Cheng continued to ask: "And then?"

Wei Hu stared: "No, then, my mooncakes are gone!"

Wei Cheng: "..."

He shouldn't expect this guy to find out anything.

Zhou Yuan chuckled.

Wei Cheng waved his hand: "Okay, I understand, you go out first."

"Thank you, master." Wei Hu was happy, and asked expectantly, "When will there be mooncakes?"

Wei Cheng: "......." When did he agree to make moon cakes for this guy? !

If you say he is stupid, he will beat a snake with a stick, but if you say he is not stupid, his mind is not on the same line as yours.

Zhou Yuan laughed happily beside him.

Wei Cheng was laughed at, forget it, it's not a big deal, not only Wei Hu clamored to eat, but the customers who bought it before all turned around and asked if they would continue to make it.

"If you want to eat, go buy duck eggs."

"This task is absolutely done!"

After Wei Hu went out, Zhou Yuan asked, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, can you still sell mooncakes?"

Wei Cheng looked at his wife and said with a smile, "We don't sell moon cakes. We sell egg yolk cakes. There are differences between egg yolk cakes and moon cakes. We also sell sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, which you like. However, we still sell them in limited quantities."

"I don't want to eat that much." Zhou Yuan retorted softly.

Wei Cheng smiled and said in a low voice, "Well, it's Wei Hu who wants to eat, not my Yuan Yuan."

Zhou Yuan laughed again, and asked after a while, "Husband, do you think Wei Lei met a girl or brother on the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Wei Cheng shook his head to show that he didn't know, and then said: "Wei Hu is not talking about the door, he will definitely reveal Leizi's matter if he is too happy."

Don't expect Wei Hu to keep these "irrelevant" things a secret!

Wei Cheng guessed right.

In autumn, the sun sets early, the workshop closes early, and the workers go back, leaving only the long-term workers and Wei Cheng's servants who live in the grocery store.

Xianmanju invited the shopkeeper, and the business stabilized. Wei Lei stayed in the grocery store for a long time. After dinner, he, Wei Hu, Wei Yuan, Wei Yi and the others drank in the grocery store.

Wei Cheng agreed to make moon cakes, Wei Hu was happy, and when he was happy, he drank too much. When he drank too much, he told how he bargained with his master, and said everything he said to his master.

He still had the ability to praise himself for his cleverness and ability to bargain, so the master agreed to continue making mooncakes. He didn't have to save the mooncakes in his hand, and he wouldn't feel bad about giving the mooncakes to Lord Lei.

Wei Lei: "..." The originally expressionless face became even more expressionless.

Everyone who heard it suppressed their laughter, but Wei Yuan laughed heartily.

The next day, when I returned to the grocery store after closing the stalls, I went to the living room to look for Wei Cheng who was working. Wei Lei was also there. Wei Cheng and him were discussing the arrangement of the next workshop. Wei Yuan told Wei Cheng what happened yesterday on the spot. Wei Lei couldn't stop it, since everyone knew about it anyway, so he didn't say anything.

Zhou Yuan stopped looking at the account book, and after listening to it, he thought to himself, Husband is really good at predicting things.

Wei Cheng looked at Wei Lei jokingly, Wei Lei felt that he couldn't hide it, so he talked about what happened that night.

"...I met a brother and knocked down the lantern of that brother. I bought the lantern as an apology. I don't know the meaning of the lantern... I feel sorry. Wei Hu has mooncakes in his hand. You all Said brother and girl like to eat, so I asked Wei Hu to ask for it, I went to the inner city a few times, but I didn’t see anyone... you all know the other things!”

Wei Cheng asked: "Is the moon cake an apology to that brother?"

"Yeah!" Wei Lei nodded sullenly, "No one was found."

It is certain that no one can be found. Dajing develops towards the folk customs, and does not restrict brothers and girls to go out, but it is impossible for brothers and girls to go to the streets every day.

Strict family education and wealthy family members are even less likely to go out at will. It is difficult to find someone.

Wei Cheng looked at Wei Lei's expression, it seemed that there was an enlightenment, but he didn't notice it.

He didn't remind him, some things should go with the flow, after all, no figure of that brother was found!

—

Late at night in autumn, cold and silent.

In Wei's house in the suburbs, a glass lamp was hung in the yard, and the light slightly illuminated the night.

clap clap—

There was a hasty knock on the door.

The candles in the servant's room in the front yard were lit, and Wei Hu's figure had already reached the gate of the yard. The martial arts practitioner was the first to notice someone approaching the yard, so he opened the door without hesitation. whose voice is it.

It was Zhou Qiu and her elder brother Zhou Yongtao. The two brothers and sisters looked anxious, and their foreheads were still sweating in the cold autumn night, which showed how anxious they were.

Zhou Qiu looked at Wei Hu, and said eagerly: "Quickly, find Wei Cheng, save people—"

Zhou Qiu pointed to the bullock cart behind him, Wei Hu immediately went to investigate, and let Wei who came after him go into the backyard to find his master.

At night, the backyard is quiet and the people in the house sleep soundly.

A knock on the door woke up the sleeping person. Wei Cheng opened his eyes, his eyes froze, and then got up, and the sleeping person who had just got out of bed was awakened.

Zhou Yuan sat up and asked anxiously, "Husband, what's wrong?!"

Wei Cheng turned around, leaned over to comfort him, "Wei Jin called me, it's okay, I'll go out for a while, and you go back to sleep." After speaking, he turned and opened the door.

Wei Jin knocked urgently, he knocked on the door in the middle of the night because of important matters, Wei Cheng walked out of the room without delay.

Zhou Yuan hugged the quilt and did not fall asleep, he pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation outside.

"Master, Miss Zhou Qiu and his eldest brother are here, it seems that someone has been injured."

"Wei Hu is in the front yard. I'm here to report. I quarreled with the master and the master. Please punish the master."

Wei Cheng gave up, and said in a deep voice, "I'll go and have a look."

"Husband—what's wrong with Xiao Qiu?" Zhou Yuan came out wearing a coat.

When Wei Cheng saw someone coming out, he must have heard what he and Wei Jin said, and he would definitely not want to go back to his room.

It was cold and cold at night, so I reached out to help people put on their coats, so as not to be chilled by the cold wind at night, and then took people's hands to the front yard.

In the front yard, the bullock carts are pulled directly into the yard.

Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan went over and saw Zhou Qiu who kept comforting Zhou Muzi. Zhou Muzi's eyes were swollen from crying. He was sitting on the bullock cart with a flustered look on his face, and there were quilts and quilts on the bullock cart. People are lying on it.

It was Li Hu who was unconscious.

Seeing his master, Wei Hu took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "The injury is serious, and the fever is still high. The wound is severely inflamed. It is very bad. It is urgent to go to the city immediately to see a doctor. The situation is deteriorating, and I may not be able to save my life until dawn."

In the middle of the night, the city gate of Nanshan County has been closed, it is difficult to enter the city at night, but it is not difficult to get out of the city.

Everyone present knew it, and their expressions became even more dignified.

Zhou Yuan had already gone to Zhou Muzi's side to comfort him. Hearing Wei Hu's words, Zhou Muzi was afraid that his body would tremble and his face would turn paler. It was Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu who held his hands tightly and supported him, giving him courage so that he would not go limp.

Wei Cheng looked serious, and asked in a deep voice: "Wei Hu, you have a way to go into the city and bring the doctor out!"

Wei Hu nodded, he can enter and leave the city, the problem is: "Master, the subordinates don't know the doctor!"

"..."

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Wei Cheng wouldn't be angry. After thinking about it, he ordered in a deep voice, "You go to Doctor Ge who is treating Uncle Mao, and ask him to go." He could only go to the inner city.

He knows this doctor.

Wei Hu nodded, turned and left, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Wei Cheng asked someone to find a wooden plank and carried him to the guest room. After Li Hu was settled, he could only wait for the doctor to come.

Zhou Muzi refused to leave Li Hu who was in a coma, and Zhou Qiu, who knew about it, was explaining to Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan.

It turned out that Zhou Muzi's husband Li Hu didn't go to work, but went hunting secretly with the village hunters.

Hunting is dangerous, and you can make a lot of money by hunting wild animals. Li Hu wanted to use this method to make money, so he went hunting secretly. Zhou Muzi didn't know what happened until he was brought back.

Li Hu was injured in order to save a half-grown little man. He pushed the opponent and faced the danger directly. He was scratched by a wild animal. In order to survive, he jumped off a low cliff and broke his leg.

Li Hu was carried back, with injuries on his body, broken legs and bleeding from the stone scrape. The barefoot doctor in the village used mountain herbs, so he would look after his spirit.

It was the first time Zhou Muzi encountered this kind of thing, and he was very flustered. Apart from taking care of Li Hu, he didn't know what to do.

Given Li Hu’s injury, it’s best to go to see a doctor in the county seat, which costs two taels of silver. Li’s family asked the barefoot doctor if he could not go, and bothered the barefoot doctor to say that he would observe it for two days. go.

The next day, nothing seemed to be wrong. In the afternoon, when Li Hu had a fever, the barefoot doctor came and said that he had to send him to the county to see a doctor. The wound was inflamed, and he couldn't help it.

The Li family secretly asked the barefoot doctor how much money it would cost to go to the county to see the doctor. The barefoot doctor didn’t know what he said. The Li family disagreed with Li Hu’s going to the county to see the doctor. doctor.

It was because Li Hu fell into a coma and developed a high fever at night that the Li family was afraid, complaining to each other and leaving the words out. Only then did Zhou Muzi know that they would not let Li Hu go to the county to see a doctor for the sake of money.

"It's just Muzi who came to look for me from the lower village to the upper village alone. The road was pitch black and he couldn't see the way. I don't know how many times he fell down. When I saw him, he was covered with injuries and his clothes were covered with dust." Zhou Qiu said angrily: " Muzi is alone, and no one from the Li family will accompany him."

"Brother and I went to borrow an ox cart, and helped Muzi bring Li Hu to the county seat. The gate of the county seat was closed, so we came to you." Zhou Qiu's eyes were red, "Muzi was afraid that his face would turn pale, and Li Hu's whole body would be hot and unconscious. No matter how he called, he didn't respond, what should Muzi do if something happens to Li Hu?" After speaking, Zhou Qiu choked up in pain.

He didn't know that this kind of thing happened to his friend Muzi, Zhou Yuan's eyes were red, "Xiaoqiu, why didn't you tell me that Li Hu was injured."

"It's my fault. Muzi said that the doctor in the village said that Li Hu is fine, so he didn't let me tell. I should tell you, at least let you know." Zhou Qiu choked up, looked up at Zhou Yuan, and asked, "Yuan Yuan , do you think Li Hu will be okay?"

Zhou Qiu, a girl, must have been terrified when he saw Li Hu in a coma. Just now he hurried to find someone, but he didn't care about being afraid, but now he is.

Zhou Yuan didn't know how to answer.

Having a high fever and falling into a coma is very serious and can lead to death.

Li Hu is Muzi's life, if something happens, Muzi will definitely—

Zhou Yuan could only look at the husband beside him. The only thing he could rely on was his husband. His husband was very powerful. He thought that he must have a solution.

"Husband..."

Wei Cheng hugged him into his chest with one hand, and patted him on the back with the other to comfort him, "It will be fine, Doctor Ge is skilled in medicine, and he saved Uncle Mao from such serious injuries, don't be sad."

"Hmm." Zhou Yuan could only hope that Dr. Ge could heal Li Hu well, so that nothing would happen to Mu Zi.

Wei Hu brought Dr. Ge, and when he was leaving the city, the officials guarding the city gate recognized Wei Hu, so he sent people out of the city without interrogation, saving a lot of time.

Doctor Ge knew Wei Cheng's family well, and he often went to Xianmanju. On the way, he heard Wei Hu talk about the patient's condition. I understand, he will treat any serious injuries.

As soon as Dr. Ge arrived, he went straight to see the patient without saying a word.

Wei Hu reported the situation when he was leaving the city, and the government office recognized him, so he let him go directly.

Wei Cheng ordered in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, please invite the officials to Xianmanju."

"yes."

in the guest room.

Dr. Ge drove everyone out, leaving Wei Hu to help, and someone would send them in if they needed anything.

Zhou Muzi refused to go out, so Dr. Ge said: "People can't die, if you don't go out, you won't be sure if you delay."

Zhou Muzi staggered out when he heard Doctor Ge's words.

Pots of hot water were brought in, and **** water was brought out inside. Li Hu was in pain inside the room, and people outside were anxious and worried—

Half an hour later, Dr. Ge came out of the room.

Doctor Ge looked tired: "Cut off the pus-fed flesh. Fortunately, you asked for it in time. If it was later, if the person could be saved, his legs would be crippled, and even his life would be lost."

so serious!

Zhou Muzi collapsed and couldn't stand still, it was Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu who supported him to stand still.

Wei Cheng asked in a deep voice: "Doctor Ge, isn't Li Hu the most injured on his body? The upper part of his leg is broken and scratched."

Doctor Ge has a quick temper, and he scolded directly, "You know what, the patient's leg injury is fatal, and it's all toxins." He definitely said, "It was injured in the mountains, the scratched part of the leg injury scabbed, and the inside was inflamed. Pus, the wound on the body was bandaged with mountain herbs by the barefoot doctor, at most it would make him suffer a little bit."

Zhou Muzi asked tremblingly: "That, that..." He couldn't ask, he was afraid of hearing the answer.

"It's okay. Next, you have to cultivate yourself well, and you will be alive and well."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Muzi wept with joy.

Wei Cheng clasped his hands and said, "Doctor Ge please come, Wei Cheng is very grateful."

Dr. Ge gave up, "Okay, we're so familiar now, don't talk about it, old man, I'm tired, I need to rest."

Wei Cheng asked his servants to take Doctor Ge to rest.

Doctor Ge also said before resting, "Thank you, give me a few more boxes of egg yolk and lotus paste. Oh, and don't forget to pay for the medical expenses."

Wei Cheng: "..."

However, Wei Hu still had a look on his face when he met his confidant, "This old man is very knowledgeable!"

Wei Cheng: "..."

No matter how serious the atmosphere is, it dissipates in an instant!

Knowing that Li Hu's life was not in danger, Zhou Muzi ran in to take care of him, accompanied by Zhou Qiu and Zhou Yuan.

The master didn't go to bed, and all the servants of the Wei family were standing by.

After tossing all night, people are also tired.

Wei Cheng had to coax his daughter-in-law back to sleep in the room, and asked his servants to arrange guest rooms for Zhou Qiu and Zhou Yongtao, so he took his daughter-in-law back to the bedroom to rest.

Zhou Muzi wants to be with others, and refuses to go to sleep, everyone can only let him.

Both Zhou Qiu and Zhou Yuan were thinking about Zhou Muzi, and woke up within two hours of falling asleep. Seeing that his daughter-in-law was not sleeping, Wei Cheng had to accompany him. Seeing his daughter-in-law's haggard look, Wei Cheng would scold the Li family.

The servants in the family have to get up and get busy when the time comes, and they didn't sleep much last night, and they looked tired.

Wei Cheng ordered Aunt Mao to arrange for the servants to take turns to rest. Zhou Yongtao was going to work in the workshop, Wei Cheng directly gave him half a day off.

Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu stayed with Zhou Muzi until noon, when he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Dr. Ge didn't wake up until noon. After seeing Li Hu's injuries, he told the patient something to pay attention to. After lunch, Wei Hu sent him back to the county.

The daughter-in-law was sleeping, Wei Cheng didn't take a nap, the doctor said that people should wake up soon, Wei Cheng was waiting for someone to wake up.

Li Hu woke up and found that he was not at home. His husband was sleeping on the couch in the room. The stinging wound made him remember that he seemed to have a fever, but then he couldn't remember.

Against the light, Wei Cheng's tall body walked to Li Hu's bedside. Li Hu didn't know Wei Cheng, and he was struggling to get up, but Wei Cheng stopped him, and then said: "I am Zhou Yuan's husband."

Li Hu just lay down.

It turns out that the imposing man in front of him is Zhou Yuan's husband, so this should be Zhou Yuan's home, why is he here?

Wei Cheng told Li Hu what happened in the middle of the night last night, and his injuries, and then said: "Your leg is seriously injured, at least two months of recuperation is required." They all scraped off a large piece of flesh.

Li Hu looked at Fu Lang who was sleeping on the couch not far away, his brows were frowned, his expression was haggard, he was very distressed.

Wei Cheng asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Li Hu was silent, he already had a plan in his eyes.

Wei Cheng looked at the person, and the other person's expression was determined, but his eyes were not firm, and there was a sense of decision in his decision.

Wei Cheng didn't want to care about it at first, his wife and Zhou Muzi had a good relationship, and the daughter-in-law was bothered by Zhou Muzi's affairs, so he didn't want this matter to continue like this.

Wei Cheng said: "Do you know that your life was taken back by your husband at night for you, and no one in the Li family took care of it. You should know how dangerous it is in the village at night. Wild animals come down the mountain at any time, and poisonous snakes appear in the grass. A gangster in the village, one of his elder brothers left you covered in injuries from falls, so he went to ask for help by himself. The Li family is your family, so you can be a filial son, but you should be more considerate of your husband. If He had an accident because of you at night, can you bear the consequences?"

Li Hu's pupils constricted, and he tried to clenched his fists, but he didn't have any strength at all. He looked sideways at the still uneasy person in his sleep, and his eyes became firmer.

Seeing people's brains prying over, Wei Cheng said, "Heal your wounds well, before Yuan Yuan and Mu Zi mentioned that you would come to work in my workshop. You can come over at any time to solve your family's problems.

"Thank you!" Li Hu said hoarsely, thanking him from the bottom of his heart.

Wei Cheng went back to the bedroom with satisfaction, saw his sleeping daughter-in-law, took off his outer shirt, lay down, stretched out his arms and hugged him into his arms, and took a nap with his daughter-in-law.

Li Hu spent two days recuperating at Weicheng's home, and was transported back by bullock cart only after Dr. Ge said he could go home to recuperate.

Li Hu refused the carriage, in order to prevent the family from becoming overwhelmed.

After returning home, Li Hu was able to get out of bed, so he proposed to divide the family. The Li family refused at first, but when Li Hu took out the IOU he wrote down to the medical clinic, the IOU of eight taels of silver made the Li family look black.

Li Hu's mother was cursing: "I didn't ask Zhou Yuan's family for help. He and Zhou Muzi have such a good relationship. What kind of workshop does he open? See why he didn't help with the doctor's money."

Still want to rely on: "No money!"

Li Hu knew his mother thought this way, so he refused Wei Cheng to help him pay the medical expenses.

Li Hu still needs two months of recuperation due to his injuries, and he still owes the medical expenses to the hospital. His family is unwilling to pay the money, especially his younger brother Li Zhi and his sister-in-law. Li Hu paid the medical expenses, but got nothing.

I don't even think that Li Hu earns all the money in the family.

Not wanting to give the money to his eldest brother, Li Zhi persuaded his parents and finally separated.

The old mud house that was allocated to Li Hu two taels of silver and the ruins was not far from Zhou Muzi's house. There was no land in the family, and the pension was 200 Wen per month, and if he wanted the land, it would cost 500 Wen.

Li Hu didn't want the land, and after the separation, he took the things in the house and Zhou Muzi and left Li's house.

When I arrived at my new home, the dilapidated mud house was crumbling and destitute.

Zhou Yuan's family, Zhou Qiu's family, Zhou Muzi's family, friends with Li Hu, and the family of the half-grown man who was rescued all sent a lot of food and helped with tidying up. No one came to help.

Li Hu and Zhou Muzi thanked each other and looked at the tidy and popular home.

Even if it is so dilapidated that it can collapse in a storm, both of them are very warm in their hearts.
