The old man reeked of alcohol. When he saw her rummaging through things, he turned over and continued to sleep.
After her fingers touched the wax-sealed iron cigarette box, she poured out the wax and rubbed out a bead smaller than a longan from it.
Rub the wax on top to make a slit and put your hands together.
A faint green light emanated from the bead in the palm of the hand.
She put the wax seal back in place!
"I want all of these, no matter how much they cost."
The old man seemed to be awakened from a dream by her voice. He looked at them dazedly and said, "One hundred dollars!"
Fang Zongtang: "Give him five hundred!"
Song Yi immediately took out money and collected the things!
The snow was falling heavier on the street. After collecting the money, the old man staggered into the pub on the street.
She retracted her gaze: "Let's go back, there's no one on the street!"
When we returned to the castle, it was snowing heavily.
Song Yi went to cook, and she sat on the carpet to check the spoils she had bought.
Put the dragon-patterned plate aside; the Arabic-style oil bottle will need to be processed later.
"Mother, this oil bottle is so dirty, can I take it to wash it?" Fang Jizon asked Fang Zongtang while holding the thing.
Song Yi was in the kitchen, so he just taught him how to deal with it.
"Go find your dad!"
Fang Jizong hurriedly took the two things and went there.
The books she bought included those from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods.
There was something stuck inside the book from the Qing Dynasty.
She took it out and saw that it was a test paper.
Liu Jin, who ranked third in the Yongding River County Examination in the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, wrote his handwriting just like printed materials. Isn't it too neat?
You can show this to Fang Jizong later so he can learn from it.
She looked through other books, not expecting to find anything, but just trying her luck.
Unexpectedly, she actually found something.
There were two pawn tickets from the Republic of China, a land deed and a house deed from the Qing Dynasty, and a promissory note, which stated that the loan amount was thirty taels and must be repaid within two years, and the interest was also written.
It's high interest.
People who borrow money are afraid of being cheated.
According to this calculation, if he doesn't make a fortune and just lives an ordinary life, he won't be able to pay off his debts even for eighteen generations!
Fang Jizong just happened to come back, and she put the test papers, pawn tickets and IOUs together.
"See? If you don't study hard, you will be the idiot who lost all the family property and was deceived by others to borrow money at high interest rates!"
Fang Jizong: “…” Didn’t he just spend a longer time with her today?
Are you bothered by him?
Not with this.
"Mother, is it possible that I am very smart?" Fang Jizong looked at his mother expectantly.
Fang Zongtang glanced at him from head to toe and said in a tone that any old mother would use: "You are so smart that your brain is out of your head. You don't have any intelligence in your head. Who is this? You have been deceived since you were a child. You are ten years old now, and you are still holding granite and telling me with a silly smile that you bought a treasure?"
Fang Jizong: “…”Are you my mother?
Why don't you give him any face?
Fang Zongtang: "Who is it? You're still trying to fool me. You clearly spent 1,500 yuan, but you insisted on saying 500. Where did the other 1,000 yuan go? Did I let you eat it?"
Fang Jizong pouted, turned around and ran to the kitchen.
His mother was too discouraging, he couldn't stand it!
Little brat, when she was his age, everyone on the street would call her Brother Zongtang when they saw her.
With the way he is now, if he walks on the street, everyone on the street will call him a prodigal son behind his back!
In the kitchen
"Father, Mother is scolding me again!" Fang Jizong complained angrily.
Song Yi scooped out the vegetables and put them on the plate neatly.
"Did he hit you?"
