Chapter 115 What is the difference between husband and wife?
Qiao Xiaoxi smiled happily.
"My grandfather was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination but failed. There were many hidden talents in the fishing village. When I was a child, whoever caught me would put something in my head."
Li Yanming imagined.
A group of old men were strolling around the village, and a girl with two pigtails was running and playing in the village.
When the old man saw the little girl, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. They chased after her and caught her.
The little girl was frightened by this sudden scene and didn't know what to do. She tried to escape but was held tightly by the old man.
The old teacher said gently, "Don't be afraid, little girl. I will impart knowledge to you." Then he gently stroked the little girl's head.
The little girl gradually relaxed and looked at the old man, her heart full of curiosity.
The old man began to tell the little girl about ancient classical culture, poetry and songs. They used simple and easy-to-understand language and tried their best to make the little girl understand.
The little girl listened attentively, with wisdom glittering in her eyes.
Seeing this, the old master explained even more enthusiastically, hoping to pass on his knowledge.
Under the guidance of the old teacher, the little girl gradually entered the palace of knowledge.
Li Yanming couldn't help but laugh as he thought about it.
The girl has a good personality! If she is unhappy about something, then, well, well, that's right, let it go.
Talking about offering sacrifices to the mountain god, he is also cheerful.
It seems like it’s not about myself, but about others.
"The girl has a good personality. She just lets go of the past!" Li Yanming said happily.
Qiao Xiaoxi looked at Li Yanming and said with a smile: "Brother Li, people's eyes are in front of them, so they look forward. Why are you looking behind you? You will trip yourself and you will have to hurt yourself."
Then, he pointed at the pile of things on the bed and said, "Brother Li, let's not talk about that anymore. Come and see, can these things make up three hundred taels?"
Li Yanming smiled and said, "Keep the girl's things. Brother Li has the rent money."
Qiao Xiaoxi pointed at those things and said, "Are you going to keep these things and think about the past all the time?" Qiao Xiaoxi stared at Li Yanming with her beautiful almond eyes.
Li Yanming smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll change it into a pile of silver, so that the girl can look at the silver every day and feel at ease."
Haha, the one who understands me is Li Yanming.
Whether living in ancient times or modern society, only when your wallet is full can you feel at peace.
Li Yanming stretched out his hand, first pointed at the cloak, and then pointed at the dress next to it.
"Girl, look at these. They are all made of fine fabrics and carefully crafted. It cost more than a thousand taels of silver to make them. But if I take them to the pawnshop now, I can't even get as much as the original price."
Oh my god! Qiao Xiaoxi was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth when she heard Li Yanming say this.
It turns out that the clothes my sister is wearing are worth a thousand taels of silver?
This really surprised me!
It really fits the old poem: "The rich have wine and meat, while the poor have frozen to death on the streets."
The nobles lived a luxurious and wasteful life, while the lower-class people could not even get enough food to eat and some even starved to death on the streets.
The gap between the rich and the poor is so huge, alas!
A set of clothes from the Duke's Mansion is priceless!
For those poor country people, such a set of clothes is enough for them to live a stable life for decades.
Now this dress has been worn by my sister and has lost its original value.
It's become second-hand goods!
Once it becomes a second-hand item, the price will naturally be greatly discounted and it will no longer be so expensive.
Qiao Xiaoxi stared at Li Yanming closely, with anticipation gleaming in her eyes.
"How about fifty taels?" Qiao Xiaoxi asked tentatively.
Li Yanming couldn't help but burst out laughing, and his neat and beautiful little teeth were displayed in front of Qiao Xiaoxi.
"If you take items of this level to a pawn shop, you can only get 20% off for live pawns and 30% to 40% off for dead pawns," said Li Yanming with a smile.
After hearing this, Qiao Xiaoxi was immediately surprised.
"If I can sell it at 70% off, that would be three hundred taels!" Qiao Xiaoxi was so excited that she almost jumped up.
These three hundred taels of silver are of great significance to Qiao Xiaoxi and can solve many practical problems.
Qiao Xiaoxi seemed to see the dawn of hope, and her heart was filled with joy and anticipation.
This thing didn't cost me anything!
This is all free money!
Li Yanming quickly got up, fetched a piece of cloth, and wrapped the clothes tightly.
"Girl, keep the rest carefully. They are worth thousands of taels of silver!"
Qiao Xiaoxi was very surprised, Oh my, she made a fortune.
Wow! These pearl hairpins, bracelets, hairpins, and step-shaking ornaments, all valuable things, should be kept by Li Yanming. I don’t understand the ancient rules, so there is no point in keeping them.
Qiao Xiaoxi pushed everything in front of Li Yanming.
"Brother Li, keep it! How we live at home and all matters concerning money, big or small, are all up to Brother Li to decide."
Li Yanming pushed it back to Qiao Xiaoxi.
"Girls' stuff—"
Qiao Xiaoxi quickly interrupted Li Yanming: "Brother Li, you and I are husband and wife, we are one body, why should we separate you and me! A family must have someone who is in charge, and I don't know how to live, Brother Li, are you being distant with me?"
Qiao Xiaoxi looked at Li Yanming with a sweet smile, her eyes full of sincere trust.
When Li Yanming heard Qiao Xiaoxi say, "You and I are husband and wife, we are one, why should we differentiate between you and me?", he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
The girl, although she knows nothing about housekeeping, has a sincere and kind heart.
Like an innocent child, he knows nothing, but makes people want to protect and care for him.
Li Yanming was delighted, thinking that since husband and wife are one, they should be inseparable, so he had to help the girl keep it.
I just held the bracelet and thought about it.
Whose bride is this for offering sacrifice to the mountain god?
Even the royal reward was lost.
These four warm jade bracelets, with their water-colored and craftsmanship, are from the imperial palace!
The people who receive this reward are either dukes or marquises.
Li Yanming put away his things.
The two men took the silver and rushed to the county town and went to the pawnshop first.
The white-haired old man was very happy.
We welcomed the two people in and started the formalities.
Complete all government certifications.
Li Yanming took the title deed and keys and took Qiao Xiaoxi to their new residence.
When the two arrived at the door of the new house, Qiao Xiaoxi looked at Li Yanming with anticipation as he opened the gate, her eyes filled with joy.
Qiao Xiaoxi approached Li Yanming and said with a smile: "Brother Li, everything is fine now! We have a house in the county town and fields in the countryside. It's like a fairyland!"
Li Yanming gazed at Qiao Xiaoxi's bright and beautiful face, his heart filled with joy.
Qiao Xiaoxi's smile is as bright as a blooming flower.
Seeing Qiao Xiaoxi so happy, Li Yanming was also particularly happy.
When he came to the hall, Li Yanming took out a dog-head hat from the bamboo basket on his back and put it on his head.
Li Yanming's face, except for his eyes, was covered, and he looked exactly like a gangster about to rob.
