I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Chapter 25



As soon as she walked out of the Li family's door, Fu Rong was the first to speak, "Mom, so much money!"

She had been holding back from saying it just now because she was worried that the Li family, especially the Li family's servants, would look down on her after she said it. Now that she was out and only her family was around, she couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou was also a little dazed, "Yes."

She subconsciously touched the purse on her waist. With the dozen taels of silver, their family had nearly seventy taels of silver in savings. Except for fifty taels earned by her son, the rest were earned by the mother and daughter.

Zhou had never earned so much money at once.

Even when she was young and had better eyesight, she had to work hard for two or three months, or even half a year to embroider a large screen. Not to mention that her eyesight was not good later and she could not embroider fine lines.

Fu Wenyu was surprised that velvet flowers were relatively precious ornaments in ancient times.

It seems that this business of the two families' partnership still has prospects.

As for the dozen taels of silver sold today, for a tentacle author like him who can write 10,000 words a day and finish a storybook in ten days, it won’t cause much trouble in his heart.

So he walked out first.

"Mom, we've made so much money, let's go shopping."

"I've asked around, there are many fun places in Liuzhou. You can go to the teahouse to listen to operas, listen to storytellers, or go to the market to buy things. By the way, since you've decided to do business, you should prepare a few more tools. Especially the needle-nosed pliers, you've just tried them, they're very useful."

"Also, we're going to build a house, so we don't need to buy rice, but we need to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and meat. Mom, you and your sister will come to the city to help later, so why don't we hire someone to cook for our uncles and brothers while we build the house. Forget about the second aunt, I think the sixth aunt is pretty good, and you can buy vegetables and other things at her house."

Zhou touched the silver in her pocket, full of confidence, "Then mom will tell your sixth aunt later."

She is not a person who is reluctant to spend money. She didn't spend it before just because she didn't have money. Now that she has money, of course she wants to make herself feel more relaxed. What's more, the dozen taels of silver in her hand and the deed also gave her great confidence.

So the three of them went to the blacksmith shop first, ordered a few more tools that Fu Wenyu had ordered before, and also ordered a large box of fine copper wires needed for making velvet flowers. Then they went to the West Market near the city gate, where the people liked to go shopping the most. Before, their chickens and sheep were bought here at a fair price.

After buying the things he needed, Fu Wenyu remembered the beautiful three-in-one courtyard of the landlord Chen's house. So he went to find a master craftsman who was good at this to help draw a blueprint and set a time for the door-to-door service.

They had eaten at Li's house before lunch, and when all these were done, it was almost time for dinner. Because he had no time to go to the teahouse to listen to operas and storytelling mentioned before, he simply suggested that he go to Fugui Restaurant for dinner.

He had been thinking about the good food there for a long time.

It's good to look at it even if you can't eat it.

He can order a table of eggs and eat them while smelling the meat!

Hearing that they were going to the restaurant, Fu Rong subconsciously looked at Zhou, but Zhou didn't agree.

When she left the Li family, she was happy that she had earned money, but as Fu Wenyu spent money without restraint, she felt a little distressed even though it was his own money.

"Forget it, let's go back."

"There are still tea eggs left over from yesterday at home, and you just said you wanted to make some milk tea, and you bought a pound of tea. The old gentleman who drew the picture said that to build a house according to your idea, it would cost more than fifty taels. Although we don't have to take it all out at once, we have to spend it sparingly."

Fu Wenyu said regretfully: "Okay, then, we'll go after we are out of mourning."

He still wanted to go to Fugui Restaurant. He always felt that those delicacies that started or ended with "lamb", "chicken", "duck", "fish", "goose", etc., and were cooked by steaming, boiling, braising, roasting, stewing, frying, etc., and added spices such as onions, ginger, garlic, soybean paste, pepper, and dogwood, must be very, very delicious!

It's a pity that he couldn't eat it.

Fu Wenyu regretfully boarded the oxcart on the way back.

When he got home, it was already dark. His cousin Chunhua had already brought back the well-fed sheep, and she had cleaned the house spotlessly.

Fu Wenyu quickly stuffed her with a few fruits bought at the market.

"Chunhua, take them and eat them."

"Remember to come to our house tomorrow morning to drink goat milk."

After Chunhua left, Fu Wenyu and his family put away the things they bought one by one. Then Zhou went to cook, and Fu Wenyu and his sister sorted things out.

The milk tea was made the next morning.

Although Fu Wenyu had drunk milk tea many times, it was the first time in his two lives that he made it himself.

As the saying goes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, so he used the simplest method, which was to add tea leaves to the goat milk and cook them together. The goat milk was of course freshly squeezed, and after boiling and cooling, a thick layer of milk skin would condense on the surface. After adding tea leaves and brown sugar, it changed from milky white to light brown.

The aroma of milk, tea and sweetness interweave together to create a very pleasant smell.

"It smells so good..."

Having sweet milk tea to drink, and not having to rush to finish a manuscript, and sleeping until you wake up naturally every day, what a wonderful life. While tasting the long-lost milk tea, for a moment, Fu Wenyu thought about selling milk tea in the city.

But it was just a thought. Whether it was milk or goat milk, the cost was not low in ancient times, not to mention tea. And milk tea did not have much technical content, so it could only make hard-earned money.

While Fu Wenyu was drinking milk tea, the Liuzhou tabloid was printed again and distributed to many places in the city, including the home of the big businessman Tang Yuanwai.

Tang Yuanwai had never had the habit of reading scripts before.

As one of the top businessmen in Liuzhou, he has a lot of business, and most of it requires him to make decisions himself. Therefore, he is busy most of the time, and he rarely disciplines his youngest son.

He was originally interested in this conversation because he heard it mentioned by an important guest when he was socializing outside a few days ago. The two of them were going to meet again today, so Tang Yuanwai asked someone to take a look at it so that he could chat more with each other later.

Mrs. Tang is a woman with a cheerful personality. She looked at Mr. Tang with a tabloid in his hand with curiosity and joked: "Sir, why are you reading the tabloid? Didn't you say you get a headache when you see the words?"

"It doesn't hurt now?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Member Tang shook the Liuzhou tabloid in his hand and explained the whole story to Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang was not surprised at all when she heard that Mr. Tang was reading tabloids outside in order to have something in common with the guests. She asked curiously: "What kind of storybook is it?"

The Tang family is not the kind of family that believes that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue". The daughter-in-law she married is also literate, so now that she is interested, Tang Yuanwai explained: "It is a story about 'exchange'."

Mrs. Tang was surprised and repeated, "Swapping?"

Tang Yuanwai said: "Yes, the storybook talks about a place called 'Ping'an County', where there is a family named Wang. Their family is simple, and Wang Yuanwai is like me and is in business."

"He leaves early and comes home late. He also travels far away from time to time. He is very busy."

Mrs. Tang nodded, "That's a bit like you, sir."

"Yeah, there's something more like it."

Tang Yuanwai said with a smile: "Their family also has a son, but this son in their family is fake. It is said that Wang Yuanwai was not at home on the day he was born, so a nanny in the family took the opportunity to exchange Wang Yuanwai's son with her grandson. "

"That is to say, the Wang family is raising children for others, do you think it is strange or not?!"

"What a strange thing."

Mrs. Tang couldn't believe it and felt it was unbelievable, "Swapping the child, a nanny actually replaced the child of the master's family? Are all the people in this house living for a living? How could such a thing happen?"

"And that Mrs. Wang, didn't you notice any clues? After all, he's not his son. There's no way he can be a parent, and he can't even recognize his own child, right?"

"That's right." Tang Yuanwai also felt that it was outrageous. "I couldn't recognize it when I was a child, but can't I recognize it when I am older? Well, it's no wonder. The storybook said that this Wang Fugui looks a bit like Wang Yuanwai. I guess It must be related to our ancestors, and I’m afraid it’s also because of the darkness. After all, most people wouldn’t have thought that something like this would happen.”

"For example, in our family, if something like this happened, would we be able to find out?"

"The wet nurse has actually replaced the master's child. I can't even think about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of clinking cups and cups next to him. It turned out to be a maid who had just brought tea in. Her face was pale and frightened, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Mrs. Tang frowned, "What are you doing?"

Mrs. Tang was a little dissatisfied with the maid's panic, but after all, she was the one around her, so she softened her tone and said, "Go down. If you are sick, ask for a doctor. There is no need to wait in the house today."

Mrs. Tang is a very strict person in managing her family. As soon as she finished speaking, two maids came forward and wanted to take this reckless maid away. As for what will happen after taking it off, of course it is to see if she is sick, if she needs to see a doctor for a prescription, or if she just needs to rest for a while.

But what she didn't expect was that the maid was in a state of confusion at this time. She actually thought that the two people were sent by Mrs. Tang to arrest her, so she started struggling in a panic.

"Madam, madam, please spare me."

"Master, Master, I didn't throw it away..."

Mrs. Tang: "...?"

Member Tang: "...!!"
