Chapter 13: Salt and marriage contract


To be honest, Zhang Bairen is really not very clear about history and the direction of history. He is a Taoist, and he does not have enough time to study the scriptures every day. There is no time to study history. Regarding the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Zhang Bairen is just I probably know that if it is subdivided, my eyes are dim and I start to catch blindly.
   Zhang Bairen yelled in front of his house, and Zhang mother came out and said, "What did my son say?"
"Mother, the guy in the army actually kept his integrity and delivered the supplies. The boy was weak, but he couldn't handle it, so I asked my mother for help." Zhang Bairen said, turning around and ran to the next door with a shout: "Uncle! Uncle! Come and help me get things!"
   "You kid, make a fuss and startle me, what do you want?" A man walked out next door, over forty years old, weather-beaten, gully on his face began to show up, aging before he was old, typical malnutrition.
   "Just follow me" Zhang Bairen said loudly.
   "Brother Bairen! Brother Bairen!" Zhang Bairen just took a step, but saw a figure running behind him, and instantly grabbed Zhang Bairen's sleeves: "Brother take me, I also want to watch the fun."
   "Little grass, my brother is okay, I will come back later to play with you!" Looking at the dirty little girl in tattered clothes in front of him, Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly and rubbed the little girl's hair.
   "Okay! Brother Bairen hasn't played with me for several days, I'll go to your house and wait for you!" Zhang Xiaocao turned and ran into Zhang Bairen's house.
   Zhang Bairen rubbed his nose and started to lead the way. Uncle Zhang said, "What the is your kid!"
   "Big sister, go too." Looking at Zhang Bairen's mother, Uncle Zhang blushed and asked.
   Mother Zhang nodded: "This kid said that he had exchanged some items with the army. I will follow it to take a look."
The three people talked and laughed along the way, came to the entrance of the village, found where the items were hidden, and looked at the big package. Mother Zhang and Uncle Zhang were stunned. Zhang Bairen said, "Uncle, why are you in a daze? ."
   "Good." Uncle Zhang woke up, rolled up the package on the ground and slammed it on his shoulder. He walked hurriedly all the way to Zhang Bairen's house and put the package down.
   "Look at what it is." Mother Zhang smiled, Uncle Zhang opened the package when he heard the words, and then took a breath of air-conditioning.
"My mother, what the did your kid do, the military will give you so many supplies? Cloth! Jerky! Silver money! And a long sword!" Uncle Zhang's words became higher and higher, his face was shocked. He was stunned, his head dizzy looking at the things in front of him.
   "What?" Mother Zhang was surprised when she heard the words, hurried forward, looked at the materials in the package for a moment, then glanced at Zhang Bairen without speaking.
"What's in the jar?" Looking at the two black jars the size of a baby's head, Uncle Zhang asked strangely. As he spoke, he picked up one of the jars, and after opening it, he was stunned. He was speechless for a long time. The voice trembled: "This... is this refined salt? Is it refined salt or white sugar?"
   Mother Zhang was taken aback, walked forward to look at the fine, white particles, stretched out her hand and placed a little bit in her mouth, frowning: "It's fine salt! Only the generals and generals in the army are qualified to eat!"
"My mother, this pot of refined salt is priceless, I am afraid it will be worth a hundred taels of silver!" Uncle Zhang's hands trembled, and he carefully put down the jar in his hand. It seems that this little jar weighs a thousand pounds, so take it yourself. Can't get up.
   "There is another jar here." Mother Zhang opened another jar and looked at the snow white, but compared with the previous jar, this jar was a bit sticky: "This is white sugar!"
   Looking at these items in front of me, cloth, swords, refined salt, sugar, dried meat, and grains, not only did Zhang's face not smile, but gloomy, but there was no attack.
"Essential salt and sugar are good things" Zhang Bairen smiled without noticing Zhang's mother's gloomy face. He stepped forward and took the refined salt and placed it in his mouth. It felt like tears filled his eyes. He came to this world for four years. This is Zhang Bairen's first time eating salt!
   This is by no means a joke, Zhang Bairen really eats salt for the first time. I used to eat the most primitive salt mines, boiled in water as edible salt, without any treatment, it would be dead!
"Come on, uncle, let’s not talk about the cloth, let my mother make a dress for Xiaocao. This salt and sugar are half of our family." Looking at the cloth in the package, Zhang Bairen little bit, he probably knew what the other party meant. It's nothing more than trying to win over yourself, but at the expense of capital.
   Zhang Bairen didn't know that the refined salt at the moment was for Yu Juluo's expense. Yuwen CD paid tribute to Yu Juluo in private. In order to win over the young seedling Zhang Bairen, he was willing to give it out.
"This...it's not good, it's too expensive! No way! No way!" Uncle Zhang shook his head again and again. This honest man has never seen refined salt in his life, let alone eaten it. The preciousness of refined salt is even worse than silver in this era. People welcome.
   "Since Bairen speaks, Brother Zhang will take it. In recent years, thanks to you taking care of our mother and son, the fine salt is not respectable." Mother Zhang took over.
   "No! No! Too expensive, I can't ask for it!" Uncle Zhang shook his head repeatedly, his face full of determination.
   Mother Zhang smiled upon seeing this: "I see that Xiaocao is a good girl, how about these refined salt and sugar as a dowry? Xiaocao, I like it very much! It would be nice to be my Zhang's wife in the future!"
   Zhang Bairen heard the words like being struck by five thunders, and stood there blankly for a moment, looking at the dirty little the side, not knowing what to say!
"Okay! Bairen has been sensible since he was a child, and since the elder sister said so, the marriage is set!" Uncle Zhang clapped his hands. Uncle Zhang always sees Zhang Bairen's goodness and sensibility, but he is a life-long conscience. Match.
   Mother Zhang turned and walked into the house, took the jar to separate the salt and sugar, and stuffed it into Uncle Zhang's hand, but saw Uncle Zhang staring at the salt and sugar in his hands and smiled from ear to ear.
   Zhang Xiaocao was the only one who stood there ignorantly, smiling foolishly, not knowing what had happened, but Zhang Xiaocao was so happy because the adults were so happy.
   "Oh... mother... I..." Zhang Bairen wanted to speak.
"Hui Tou Niang has something to ask you." Mother Zhang put the dried food and dried meat together, and exchanged birthday characters with Father Zhang while talking and laughing. If this remote ghost place were to follow the rules, everyone would not be able to consume it. It was as simple as that for the time being. Set it down first, exchange the trustworthy items, and then it will not be too late to send someone to propose marriage, marry, and then mention three media and six appointments.
   Sending away the giggly Uncle Zhang, Mother Zhang glanced at Zhang Bairen, and took Zhang Bairen into the house, her face was gloomy, and Uncle Zhang didn’t understand so much as a rough person. UU reading www. uukanshu. com But did Mother Zhang know that people in the army would give away so many things for no reason?
   "Say! Why did the military give you so many things! Not to mention two pheasants, even a hundred may not be able to replace them." Zhang mother looked serious.
   The joy on Zhang Bairen’s face turned into a bitter face, and his brain turned quickly, and a perfect reason was instantly compiled: "The general in the army was surprised when I saw my bones and wanted to accept the child as a disciple!"
   "The general in the army accepts you as a disciple?" Mother Zhang looked at Zhang Bairen and lowered her head and said: "I have also heard of the prestige of General Yu Juluo. Could it be that the general of the army nearby is Yu Juluo?"
   "Exactly" Zhang Bairen nodded repeatedly.
"Since General Yu can value you, that's a good thing. You must practice hard in the future. Don't let down the general's kindness." Looking at the sword, think about Zhang Bairen, a four-year-old child who has never been in contact with the outside world. Jang's mother relaxed for Julu's name, and it didn't look like the long sword was fake.
   "My child knows, I naturally cherish this hard-won opportunity" Zhang Bairen picked up the long sword on one side, and the long sword was about to catch up with Zhang Bairen high, Zhang Bairen was too young to play.
"Okay, you go to read books, martial arts can not forget to read, everything is inferior, but reading is high, the martial artist is powerful, and it is not as good as a scholar. In the future, my son has both civil and martial arts, and I will be a champion in both civil and martial arts. Fu Niang asked you so harshly." Mother Zhang turned around and started to clean up the house.
   "Huh~~~" Zhang Bairen breathed a sigh of relief. This test is over. Under the name of Yu Juluo, many things can be done in the future. This is an unexpected surprise for Zhang Bairen.
   "In the spring of the coming year, my sword can go further, and the benefits will be countless!" Zhang Bairen grinned.
