At dusk, Feng Yun is almost home. [Remember the domain name of this site xs520.

He and his brother and sister-in-law temporarily lived in the same hospital, but his brother was enlisted in the army a few years ago and is now a soldier in a border town and has been away from home for many years.
There are only sisters-in-law and nephews in the family.
Before Feng Yun awakened from the memory of his past life, he was living in a muddle-headed manner, living on a few small fields at home. Because he was not good at farming, after paying the rent, it was not easy to make ends meet, and he often needed help from his sister-in-law.
As soon as I walked outside the house, I saw a stocky woman looking around with a flustered look on her face.
When she saw Feng Yun, she rushed to Feng Yun as if relieved.
"Brother-in-law, why did you take your eldest brother's train and run around?"
Sister-in-law has a simple and honest face, but when she sees Feng Yun, she becomes extremely angry. However, he also knows Feng Yun's character and will not do anything wrong.
“What’s in your hand?”
Seeing that Feng Yun was fine, she noticed the grain and cloth in Feng Yun's hands.
The surrounding neighbors stood inside the low earthen wall and looked out. They were all surprised by what Feng Yun was holding.
One piece of fine cloth, one piece of coarse cloth, two buckets of rice...
Without waiting for his sister-in-law to ask questions, Feng Yun hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I went to the Palace of Classical Books and was hired. This is the monthly salary. The complete version??????????.????"
"Palace of Classical Books?" My sister-in-law was stunned and couldn't believe it, even though she didn't know what the Palace of Classics was.
But with the word palace, it can be understood that it is the residence of the monarch and the place where the nobles stay.
Moreover, there is also a monthly salary. Isn’t this a treatment that only nobles have?
Seeing that his sister-in-law did not believe it, Feng Yun took out the key in his arms. This was the key to the outer room of Dianji Palace. On it were the national emblem of Da Ting Kingdom and the words Dianji Palace.
My sister-in-law couldn't read the words, but when she saw the national pattern, she immediately knew that it couldn't be fake.
No one would forge the national emblem, it is a serious crime of decapitation.
“Oh, are you really successful?” My sister-in-law waved her hands excitedly. She looked around at the neighbors, raised her head proudly and said, “Tell me, sister-in-law, what is this classics palace for?”
Sister-in-law’s voice was very loud, as if she was talking to others.
Dan Feng Yun shook his head.
“Sister-in-law, I’m tired from walking all the way, so I’d better go back to the courtyard and talk.”
Sister-in-law's smile did not diminish. She looked at the valuables in Feng Yun's hand and said hurriedly: "Okay, first go to the yard and put the things away. I'll ask the black dog to put the food in place."
Sister-in-law pushed Feng Yun closer to the courtyard, and then shouted to the low wall next to her: "Feng Hei Quan, go to the kitchen and put the food in place!"
A thin and frail boy, wearing two horn bun hair accessories, poked his head out of the earthen house in the courtyard, and said with a flat mouth: "I know!"
Seeing this, Feng Yun also smiled.
At this time, men farmed and women weaved. There was not much difference in social status between men and women, and women also had great power at home.
And his sister-in-law is a trouble maker. Feng Yun has been under the care of her sister-in-law in the past few years. She treats him like an elder sister and a mother, so Feng Yun will naturally not disobey her in small matters.
“Brother-in-law, sit down and tell me quickly, what kind of palace is this for? What are you doing there...don’t sign a body deed and let others deceive you!”
Sister-in-law suddenly looked panicked.
Feng Yun said, "Sister-in-law, if I was sold, how could I come back?"
Putting the cloth in his hand on the stone table in the courtyard and the corn on the ground, Feng Yun took out four strings of shell coins from his arms.
Seeing the shellfish, my sister-in-law's eyes widened again.
“Is this also a monthly salary?”
Sister-in-law remembers the word "monthly salary" clearly.
Full version 520.????
She looked at it carefully.
So many things...
"A piece of fine cloth costs fifty shell coins, a coarse cloth costs thirty shell coins, two buckets of corn costs seven shell coins, and four strings of shell coins costs twenty shell coins. After all, you can have more than a hundred shell coins a month. A monthly salary of one shell coin..."
“A hundred shell coins are equivalent to two stones of corn. If eaten together, it can feed a family of three for a year...a month’s salary.”
As my sister-in-law spoke, she began to cry.
"Tell me, tell me, what are you doing in that palace... Your eldest brother follows the nobles at the border and goes through life and death for them, and he only earns about ten shells a month..."
Nowadays, most of the soldiers in various countries are children of nobles, but these children are officers, not soldiers who kill enemies on the battlefield.
Generally, those who kill enemies are mostly slaves. They are slave soldiers. They are private soldiers of nobles' children and have no military pay.
There is conscription among those who conscript soldiers, and those who conscript soldiers do not receive military pay. They serve the country and must be conscripted. They usually have to be conscripted for a few years before they can return home.
And above, they are soldiers who serve as guards for the nobles' children, or they are good soldiers among the domestic slaves, or they are promoted as janitors, or they are good recruits and find dependence, or they are civilians who voluntarily accept the title of lord...
Just like in the palace of classics before, those guarding soldiers were personal soldiers, attached to the monarch of the court, and were sent to various palaces for defense and work.
Feng Yun's eldest brother is a soldier. His master is a nobleman who went to the border to gain military merit. The soldier under him is acceptable. A few shell coins per month are much better than farming at home, and it can offset the military conscription.
“Sister-in-law...”
Feng Yun made it clear in advance what he was going to do in the palace of classics, and his sister-in-law didn't even bother to cry anymore.
"Have you learned how to read?" My sister-in-law knew that Feng Yun's family had left some broken bamboo slips, but she didn't expect that Feng Yun would learn how to read by relying on the broken bamboo slips, and he could also buy a house in a place full of words like the Palace of Classics, and receive a gift belonging to a corporal.
Half of the salary.
"If my parents know that my brother-in-law has such abilities, they will definitely be happy." Wiping away the tears on her face, her sister-in-law said: "Look at you, you have abilities but no clothes. A gentleman is out there, how can he not have good clothes... to wear on you?
Big Brother’s crap won’t work.”
Sister-in-law said: "If you have this fine cloth, I will spend the night making you a dress with a curved train and a plain dress with a straight train. You can also buy a house, so as not to be looked down upon by your peers."
In addition to the daily farming at home, my sister-in-law also sewed clothes for others. She was very skilled in craftsmanship, and Feng Yun also wanted to do this.
but……
Feng Yun handed a bunch of five shell coins to his sister-in-law.
“Sister-in-law needs to collect it. This is the money for ready-made clothes.”
My sister-in-law refused: "I can't have it. I can't have it. It only costs half a shell for a piece of clothing..."
"Sister-in-law, you have helped me a lot. Besides, my eldest brother is away, so I have the obligation to take care of you and my nephew." Feng Yun took another bunch and handed it to his sister-in-law.
"This is vegetable money... I already have corn, so my sister-in-law can use it to cook together. I haven't gotten enough yet, and we are still the same family as my eldest brother..."
Sister-in-law silently watched Feng Yun arrange the matters and did not interrupt again.
It wasn't until Feng Yun finished speaking that she responded: "Okay, your eldest brother is not at home. You are now sixteen. If you have bought a property, I will follow your arrangements."
Putting away the shell coins given by Feng Yun, she picked up the fine cloth.
“Sister-in-law, let me use coarse cloth to make clothes for my nephew and you. If you receive fine cloth next month, you can make it again.”
The sister-in-law did not answer this question, but also picked up the coarse cloth.
Turning around, she said: "Let's go into the living room and get the food first."
…
After dinner...
The black dog boy was only seven or eight years old. He was lying in front of the fine cloth, looking around, and wanted to touch it.
As soon as my sister-in-law slapped me, the black dog immediately stopped daring.
Feng Yun had finished his meal and was about to leave the hall and go to his room, but he heard his sister-in-law say: "Wait a minute, brother-in-law."
