Chapter 1475: Full Throttle
ice, “Shall we go back to rest now”An Xuetang was suddenly princess carried, her heart fluttered involuntarily. But there were still many people in the courtyard, she quickly patted his shoulder, "A J...Their parents couldn't help but look at Zhuang Zhuang, because they knew their son. Zhuang Zhuang had never been one to boast since he was a child.
Since he said there is, then it should be there.
Even Mo Junyi couldn't help but look at him, subconsciously sizing up the basket on his back.
Zhuangzhuang's face was beaming with a smile. After finishing the egg, he wiped his mouth and then gave everyone a mysterious grin. Under everyone's gaze, he put down the basket on his back.
When she lifted the coarse cloth, what was in the basket finally came into view. Niu Niu couldn't help but gasp, "Wow!!! So many… so many eggs!"
For Niuniu and her family, to suddenly have dozens of eggs was indeed unbelievable.
Niu Niu has never seen so many eggs before, and he's so excited that he can't help but shout out loud.
And this time, Zhuangzhuang brought back more than just eggs, he also brought a big bag of white rice and flour. Niuniu's mother was completely dumbfounded.
Needless to say, Niu Niu was ecstatic. She was now wide-eyed and flustered, covering her mouth with her hand. Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions.
Looking at it, tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn't hold them back.
Even though Niuniu is young and could be excused for such actions, it's surprising that she, who is older than the head of the household, has never possessed so much rice and flour at once.
Now I can't hold it in anymore, tears just won't stop falling.
Niu Niu's father seemed calm, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his emotions at this moment.
Mo Junyi looked at the family's reaction, and suddenly felt a twinge of sadness in his heart.
Even if these things filled an entire room, some people wouldn't even glance at them. But for this family, seeing these things, each one of their expressions was like seeing a lifeline.
It's no wonder my mother always said that to truly be a good emperor, one can't stay locked away in the palace all the time. One must fully understand the people's sentiments.
Xunzi once said, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." His mother made him deeply remember this saying. If he truly wanted to sit in that position, he had to understand these principles.
Remember always that people are the most important, followed by the country, and lastly the ruler. Do not be like the emperor today, acting so recklessly.
"The people are the foundation of a nation; when the foundation is secure, the nation is peaceful."
Looking at this family, he became even more eager to take that position. He not only wanted the supreme power to protect his mother, uncle, and everyone he cared about, but also so that all the common people could at least have enough food and clothing.
Mo Junyi watched silently until the emotions of the family of four calmed down.
"Niuniang, after coming to her senses, grabbed Zhuangzhuang's shoulders with both hands and said anxiously, "Zhuangzhuang, where did these things come from"
How much silver would it take to buy all of these things
She couldn't even begin to imagine, and where on earth did her family get the money from Had he done something wrong
Thinking like that, the previous instant of excitement and exhilaration vanished instantly.
He was afraid that his son would do something life-threatening just for a bite to eat.
Niu Niu's father didn't think his son had done something foolish. At this moment, he looked meaningfully at Mo Jun Yi.
In his eyes, Zhuangzhuang's wealth was mainly due to the young master's clothes. It seemed that the young master's clothes were very valuable.
Zhuang Zhuang smiled at this moment, and in front of everyone, he took out the pouch from his arms.
He poured out the silver inside, and there was actually a small piece of gold. Everyone present, except Mo Junyi, almost unbelievably widened their eyes.
"This...this..."
Now, Niuniang doesn't know how to describe her feelings, she can't even speak.
Zhu Zhu didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained how he got the silver.
The silver on him must have been from selling his clothes. Though he had never seen much of the world, after entering the city, he gathered his courage and went to the largest clothing shop in town, one that specialized in selling clothes to wealthy families.
The fabric of that garment was indeed rare. Coincidentally, the shopkeeper of the clothing store was a knowledgeable person and, upon seeing the garment, was immediately taken aback. He asked where the garment came from.
He didn't say whose clothes they were, just telling the shopkeeper that he found them on the road and asking if the shopkeeper wanted them.
The shopkeeper initially wanted to take advantage of him, wanting to set the price at ten wen. However, though he was young, he wasn't foolish at all.
At first, he couldn't quite tell how valuable the garment was. But when he saw the shopkeeper's excited expression, he guessed that the clothes he had brought were definitely of high quality.
Before entering the tailor shop, he had already inquired that the cheapest set of clothes there cost at least a dozen taels of silver.
But the shopkeeper was not at all generous, he tried to dismiss him with just ten cash.
That's really bullying.
He was considering either brutally getting revenge on him or moving to a different place to sell.
So he clutched the garment to his chest and bid a price so exorbitant that it would make him faint.
One hundred taels of silver.
Besides the shopkeeper, there were also a few shop assistants present at that time.
After hearing Zhuangzhuang's offer, they were met with disbelief, followed by endless laughter.
The shopkeep said bluntly, "Boy, do you even know how much one hundred taels of silver is You… dare to ask for this price"
Zhuangzhuang was actually terrified inside, but he always remembered that when you're out in the world, you have to be tough, or else you'll only get bullied.
"So he stiffened his neck and feigned calmness, "Anyway, it's just one hundred taels. If you want to buy it, give me the silver quickly. If you don't want to buy it, I'm going to find another buyer right now. In short, don't waste each other's time."
He was actually terrified inside, after all he had no power or influence, and now he was alone. Uncle Chen had gone to the market to sell his game, so now it was just him. If this group of people wanted to do something to him, he would be completely powerless to fight back.
"Well."
Only to hear the shopkeeper let out a cold laugh, he looked up and down at Zhuangzhuang, then winked at the few shop assistants behind him.
Those few shop assistants immediately understood the shopkeeper's meaning. After looking at each other, they took steps towards Zhuangzhuang.
Zhuang knew he was in danger, fortunately he had always been very vigilant. After entering the shop, he stayed by the door and did not go any further.
So when those few people were about to rush over, he turned and ran.
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, "Grab that boy for me! He dares to steal from me, get him!"
"......"
Zhàng Zhàng heard this and his heart sank.
This shameless old geezer actually said he was a thief.
How did this garment end up in their shop It clearly belonged to that young master.
The young master is still living at his home.
These people are really lying through their teeth, they only know how to bully these poor people.
He sprinted forward with all his might, but the several shop assistants behind him were much taller than him, their legs longer too. Catching up to him was effortless for them.hese eyes and ears first. Otherwise, the moment we leave, news of our departure will spread instantly, and by then, there will be countless assassins chasing us on the road.He had a point, which An Xu...
