Chapter 54: The stars are dark and the fire is bright and the moon is full

Ge Yingxi panicked and asked Ergou to move first. He also went out, looking at the moonlight outside, sighed, originally planning to enjoy the moon and drink well, but he didn't expect to be busy with such things.

After walking two steps out, before he could reach the place, Ge Yingxi saw the bright lights on the bridge. If it weren't for his own village houses there, he would really want to enjoy this kind of scenery. It's so beautiful. This time, the Zhang and Wang families must have spent a lot of money.

After walking for a while, Ge Yingxi finally arrived at the bridge. He thought Ergou had called everyone here for a long time and was waiting for him to arrive. Unexpectedly, there was no one here, and it was very lively on the bridge, and Ergou was gone.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Ge Yingxi walked over in a few steps, laughter, hawking, and shouting, which came to his ears from time to time. A special atmosphere appeared here, making him feel better unconsciously.

"Gecunzheng, you are here too. Hurry up, please come here." When Ge Yingxi was watching what his farmhouses were doing, Xu Si came up. He was in charge of the market, so he naturally had to greet him first. Each of these three small villages had a village chief, and he usually didn't use his identity.

Ge Yingxi was stunned when he saw the person in front of him. He was about to speak politely, but then he realized that the person in front of him was Sigou, who had just left a few days ago. His face suddenly sank, "Sigou, what are you doing here?"

"Gecunzheng, Xu is working for Zhangjiazhuangzi now and is in charge of the market in this place. Gecunzheng might as well take a look. Today, everything in the market is sold at the capital, and it will rise in a few days." Xu Si was less respectful when he heard Ge Yingxi call his nickname.

Ge Yingxi heard the change from it. Just as he was about to question it, he suddenly remembered that he was not his own farmer, so he could only suppress his breath, "What good things are here? Is it still lacking such ordinary things in Gejiazhuang?"

"Gecun is justified. The Ge family village is much richer than ordinary families, especially as the main family, Gecun is watching first, and Xu will go back to report to the master."

Xu Si still has a lot of things to do and has no time to accompany others, not to mention that his identity is a little lower, both from the perspective of the head of the family and the village official given by the government.

As Xu Si left, Ge Yingxi felt that he was even more angry. He was not waiting for someone from the Zhang and Wang family to come here, and walked directly to the lively place in front. He was about to find Ergou first and ask what was going on.

As he walked along the way, before Ergou found him, he saw many of his own housekeepers who were buying and changing things there. Each of them had joy on his face. If he was usually happy to see that the housekeepers could do this, but today he was not at all happy.

"Wu family mistress, what are you doing?" Ge Yingxi finally couldn't help it. He happened to see a farmhouse squatting there talking and laughing with the person in a stall. He stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"Master, you are here too. I'll change something here. I just changed a thimble, and my house can't use it anymore. Today, the things here are cheap. I used a salted duck egg and a thimble plus two rolls of thread, one black and one white.

Look, that's all. When I get back, I will repair my clothes that I accidentally tore out. That clothes are my best outfit and are decently worn."

The mistress of the Wu family did not seem to feel the anger of the head of the family. She raised the things in her hand and said happily. When she glanced at the two houses of Zhang and Wang, she showed a hint of envy. They were all new clothes and the fabric they used was much better than their own. The owner rewarded them and tailored them.

Ge Yingxi was stunned for a moment. With the lights around him, he saw the expression in the eyes of the mistress of the Wu family. After all, he didn't say anything he wanted to scold, but he looked at the merchants of the Zhang and Wang families. The clothes that were of the right size were just right.

I also looked at the lanterns made of silk cloth, which invisibly showed a strong momentum. Compared with the farmers in my own village, the difference was more than a little bit.

"Gecunzheng, I didn't expect you to come here to have a free time. How about it? Look at this market, right? After a few days, the goods will be ready, and it will be more lively in the surrounding villages.

Just as Ge Yingxi was comparing, a voice suddenly appeared. Ge Yingxi looked closely and saw that the contemporary head of the Wang family village could not treat Sigou like he was, and forced to smile.

"It turned out to be Wangcunzheng. Wangcunzheng and Zhangcun were just a big deal. I heard that the two farmers in the villages got a lot of your things this time, but if this market wants to collect taxes and make money, it must be reported to the government. It is difficult to manage the government."

"Charge taxes? What taxes?" Wang's father was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "Gecun was misunderstood. I didn't think about collecting any taxes. With a market, it would be easier for everyone to buy and sell things. I also planned to build a few houses here, build some sheds, and make some food at that time.

If there are people who are rushing through the road, they can rest here. The money earned by these things is used to repair the surrounding areas. In summer, if there is a lot of rain, the river will flood when it rises, and it will be just right to use this money to make it. The same goes for the road. Why not add one?"

"Oh, that's it. Since Wang Cunzheng has plans, let's do it first. The road there is okay, not busy. Wang Cunzheng also found a lion dancer for the merchant this time, and spent a lot of money together, right? There were a lot of torches on the farm. It would be easy to get back to the house at night."

Ge Yingxi didn't want to do it with the other two farms. He would have to listen to them at that time, and politely refused and talked about something else.

The prince did not continue to talk about this matter, and followed Ge Yingxi's words: "It's not much money, it's just a hundred and eighty taels of silver. It's been a year since the villagers are not easy, so they are happy together.

The torches are OK, bright, seven hundred and ninety, no more or less. It happens that the households of the two families of Zhang and Wang and the number of people in the main family, the moon should be reunited. When the stars are dark, let the torches representing everyone in the two families of Zhang and Wang and illuminate the night sky together."

After saying this, the surrounding merchants who heard the merchants all calmed down. Some merchants in Zhang and Wang's family had their noses sore and their eyes were red. It turned out that the torches meant this. The master treated them as relatives, and they were together, yes, they were together.

However, the people who came to the Ge family village were all gloomy. In the past, everyone was the same, but nothing was wrong. Now that Zhang and Wang families had money, they began to be kind to the merchants, spend the fifteenth together, laugh together, and what illuminated the night sky together. If you were yourself, you would be content in your life.

Ge Yingxi was also silent. He didn't have the courage to call the merchants in his village back now. He was afraid that he would do that. The merchants would lose their energy in spring this year. He just felt that he was lowered when facing Wang Cunzheng. The excitement here seemed to be far away from him. After thinking about it, he said:

"Wang Cunzheng, your place is really good, I'm happy too. You're busy and I have something to do at home, so I'll say goodbye first."

After saying that, he didn't wait for someone to say anything, and turned around and left, a look of gloomy expression appeared between his eyebrows.

But before he could come to Xiaoqiao, Ergou came over and said, "Master, I have something to discuss with you."

"Ergou, where are you going? What's the matter? Tell me." Ge Yingxi was not in the mood to scold Ergou at this moment, and his voice became much smaller.

"Master, the young man wants to redeem himself. The young man ran back from the small road just now and asked the butler. The butler said that the young man had to take out ninety-two taels of silver. Do you think so?" Ergou asked carefully.

Ge Yingxi was frightened now, and at the same time, he also knew why Ergou was not found just now. He stared at Ergou and said, "Yes, the butler said that, it's absolutely right. You have ninety-two taels of silver?"

Ge Yingxi laughed as he spoke. Is Ergou sick? He dared to ask even if he had a 92 taels of silver.

Ergou showed joy on his face and took out a package from his bulging arms. After thinking about it, he ran away again, without even saying hello, so that Ge Yingxi, who was willing to leave, stayed and waited curiously.

After a while, Ergou ran back again, opened the package, and held it in front of Ge Yingxi, "Master, here is ninety-two taels of silver. Look, if you count it, can you return the small paper deed to the small one?"

Ge Yingxi looked at the heavy gray-white silver with his eyes wide open. It was not until Ergou asked again that he came to his senses, "Egou, where did you get the silver?"

"Sigou gave it to me. Sigou and Xiaode have been together since childhood. He is now in charge of the markets of Zhang and Wang's villages, and wants Xiaode to go over and help."

"Then where did he get the money?"

"The master gave it to me. I heard from Sigou that he went to ask the master Zhang family for 100 taels of silver. The people from the master said that Sigou is worth the money. Sigou has a good vision of making money, and there is not much silver. The young man also felt that this market was made out by Sigou alone in just a few days.

Master, you took this money and returned the small paper deed to the small one. The small one will work hard here in the future and will not be embarrassed. Sigou asked the small one to help him set the price."

Ergou said and sent the silver forward. He just went back and exchanged ten taels for one 2 taels, but the master actually gave him all the remaining eight taels of silver.

"You said that Sigou made it alone in the market? It's still priced? OK, OK, OK, don't blame others, I blamed me, one hundred taels of silver, worth it, really worth it, such a big stall, no wonder, it turns out that there is a price in your hand, why didn't you think Sigou have such great ability? She let it go for one tael of silver."

Ge Yingxi's eyes were confused. As he spoke there, his voice became smaller and smaller, his head lowered, and his waist bent. He knew how much things he needed to build such a big stall, and how much benefits he could get from the Zhang and Wang family. These were done by Sigou, whom he had no idea about before.

"Forget it, let's go, let's go. Ergou, go back with me. I'll give you the paper deed. If you have the chance in the future, take care of the households in Gezhuang."

Ge Yingxi felt so tired that she was reluctant to even walk on the road, so she explained to Ergou and moved back step by step.
