"Sir, according to your instructions, the yard has been tidied up and the furniture in the house has been arranged."
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man came to Li Mu, bowed his head, and said with a respectful expression: "Do you think there is anything else you are dissatisfied with? If so, I will let them adjust it now."
Li Mu took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and handed them to the middle-aged man: "It's pretty good, Lao Zhang. Thank you for your hard work this time. This is furniture money."
Lao Zhang took the broken silver and said hesitantly: "Master, we don't need so much..."
"The extra money will be considered as a reward for you. As long as you do things well, I won't treat you badly in the future."
Li Mu waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead and get going!"
Lao Zhang was overjoyed, his old face blooming like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Oh, how can this be done? How can this be done?"
He said "How to make it", but he held the money tightly in his hand, thanked Li Mu profusely, and left with a smile.
After a group of people in the courtyard left, Li Mu stepped into the living room.
I saw four banners hanging in the middle of the hall. There were banners under the banners, and Huanghuali chairs on both sides of the banners. The whole room was paved with blue bricks, and the walls were plastered with white plaster. There were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, although they were not considered luxurious.
, but it can be considered an upper-middle-class home.
Li Mu sat on the Grand Master's chair for a while and let out a long breath: "The yard is finally ready!"
It has been some time since he came to this world.
Ever since I bought a small bronze clock in the antique market, I came to this world inexplicably. I was quite panicked at first. Later I found that I could return to the modern world after staying here for a while, and I felt relieved.
So began the exploration of this world.
This is a dynasty called Dayin. It is said that it has been in existence for more than 600 years. The writing style is very prosperous. It seems to be somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty. Scholars have long shirts and big sleeves, and civilians wear short skirts and small clothes, but there are also people wearing long robes.
The entire dynasty did not strictly control the clothing of its people.
The evolution of the writing of the Great Yin Dynasty is roughly the same as that of ancient Chinese writing. Traditional Chinese characters are used. Occasionally there are differences in some individual fonts, but even if there are differences, you can roughly guess the meaning of these characters.
It took Li Mu almost two months to roughly understand the basic situation of this world.
It was only in the past few days that I brought some money from the modern world and bought a house in this county.
The place where he is now is called Qinghe County, which is a medium-sized county under the jurisdiction of Yun Prefecture among the nineteen prefectures of the Great Yin Dynasty. Although it is not considered a remote place, it is not prosperous and wealthy either.
Originally, he was worried about his household registration, but there happened to be a major epidemic in a nearby county. Many people died and many people fled here. Li Mu sneaked into the county at this time, and everything made sense.
As for the issue of attire for short hair, he had already bought several sets of ancient clothes and hats in the modern world, and wore a Confucian scarf to cover his short hair. After that, he was no different from the people here.
As for the accent...you’ve already read the online article, but you still care about these details?
So Li Mu quickly integrated into this world.
He spent twenty-three taels of silver to buy the two-bedroom courtyard house in front of him.
There is a courtyard in the front, a small garden in the back, and two wing rooms in the east and west.
The entire yard was purchased for a total of twenty-three taels of silver.
Modern silver is equivalent to three yuan and a half gram of RMB, and one kilogram is two catties. His twenty-three taels of silver is only four to five thousand yuan.
Four to five thousand yuan, in modern society, is a month's salary of ordinary people, but in this world, one can buy such a large house.
After cleaning up the house, he bought tables, chairs, benches, and a huge bed.
The other furniture didn't cost much, but this bed cost him one hundred and thirteen taels of silver.
Just this bed is enough to buy three or four houses like his.
“This bed is more exciting!”
Li Mu stayed in the living room for a while, then walked to the bedroom, lying on the golden nanmu bed like a small house. Looking at the carved top of the bed, he sighed with satisfaction: "Comfortable!"
Li Mu was very fond of Ming and Qing furniture, especially the Ming Dynasty Babu bed. However, this Babu bed was a precious object in the Ming Dynasty, and it is even more expensive in modern times.
In modern society, even if you ask a carpenter to make an antique bed with a mortise and tenon structure out of ordinary mahogany, it will cost at least 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, and the manual labor cost alone will cost more than 100,000 yuan.
Although his family is well off, he is not wealthy enough to spend so much money on a bed.
Now in the Great Yin Dynasty, he only spent a few thousand yuan to buy a house and a bed made of golden nanmu. He felt satisfied: "Now I just need to buy a few maids."
And the servant."
His greatest hobbies in life were martial arts and drinking.
He has practiced martial arts for many years in modern society, and he has done well. He once challenged five students from the sports school and beat them bloody and ran away. When it comes to street violence, he is really not afraid.
Who passed.
After coming to the Great Yin Dynasty, I was even more surprised to find that the qigong I had learned before could actually be practiced in this world. In just one day, I developed a sense of qi. Now more than a month has passed, and the qigong in my meridians
With her inner energy filled, her physical strength has increased by at least three to five times, and she can lift two hundred kilograms of things above her head with one hand.
I estimate that after some time, I may really reach the level of martial arts of those knights in martial arts novels.
As for drinking, although there is high-strength liquor in Qinghe County, the taste is very ordinary, and after drinking it, it makes my head ache. When I wake up the next day, I have a splitting headache, and my eyes are covered with eye droppings.
The taste of low-alcohol wine is not very good. It is said that there are good wines sold from other places in Yunzhou Prefecture, but they are not sold in Qinghe County. How it tastes is still unknown.
In addition to practicing martial arts and drinking, Li Mu's biggest ideal is to lead seven or eight healthy servants to walk on the street at dusk, teasing and teasing women from good families...
This ideal has no chance of being realized in modern society, but it is still possible to realize it in the Yin Dynasty.
After lying on the bed for a while, the sky gradually became dark, and a full moon appeared in the eastern sky.
Li Mu stood up and took a cloth bag in the bedroom in his hand.
At this moment, a small green bell was slowly rotating in the depths of his mind, making a slight buzzing sound.
The reason why Li Mu was able to travel to the world of the Great Yin Dynasty was because of this small bronze bell. In modern society, this small bell can travel to the world of the Great Yin Dynasty at any time, but if he returns to the modern society from the world of the Great Yin Dynasty,
, but it must be done when the moon is full.
Although Li Mu doesn't understand what's going on, as long as he understands the rules and can use them, as for why this happens, it's not a question he can consider at this stage.
The moon is full today, and it's time to go back.
As soon as I thought about it, his figure had disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, Li Mu appeared in his modern-style bedroom.
In the blink of an eye, we move from history to reality.
This kind of time and space transformation has made Li Mu a little uncomfortable to this day, and he always feels like he is dreaming.
After being dazed in the bedroom for a while, Li Mu opened the cloth bag in his hand and took out a few fist-sized stones. These were raw jade stones that had already opened the window.
Qinghe County in the Great Yin Dynasty did not have any special products, but only produced a kind of fake jade. This kind of fake jade was brightly colored and gaudy. It did not have the warmth of mutton-fat jade, nor the purity of gemstones, so it was not very popular among people.
The upper-class people do not like this fake jade, so the price is not high, and the middle and lower class people cannot afford it, or are reluctant to buy suet jade and other beautiful jade, so they can only buy some fake jade to decorate the appearance.
Even ordinary people and young children would get some fake jade and wear it on their bodies.
Li Mu had a classmate whose family ran a silver shop and had a strong ability to appreciate jewelry. He had been in love with that female classmate for a period of time and learned some tips on identifying jade from her.
So when I saw these fake jade worn by ordinary people, I was shocked on the spot!
What kind of fake jade is this? This is obviously jade, okay?
But if you think about it carefully, it is right. Jade was not valuable in ancient China. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that it was hyped up.
But it was not very valuable at that time. It was not until the 1980s and 1990s after the reform that the price of jade really soared. After 2000, it rose again.
But now in the Yin Dynasty, jadeite can only be regarded as a low-end jade, and its price is extremely low, at the same price as miscellaneous jade.
After Li Mu found out the origin of these jadeite, he went to the quarry and bought a few pieces of raw jadeite with windows open.
These rough jade stones are not big in size, but have excellent water quality, and there are many treasures among them. This time when I return to modern society, I want to find someone to see the value of these jade stones.
Putting these jade stones in the bedroom, he picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at the time. He found that only a few dozen minutes had passed since he entered the world of the Yin Dynasty and returned to the modern world, but it had already passed in the Yin Dynasty.
It took almost a month.
The difference in the speed of time between the two worlds is astonishing.
When he checked the time, he discovered that there were several missed calls on his cell phone, and the caller was his mother Yuan Qinghua.
Li Mu quickly called back: "Hey, Mom, did you call me?"
Yuan Qinghua's voice rang from the phone: "Xiao Mu, please go home during the May Day holiday. I've already told my girl that you must come back to see me! Don't take it seriously!"
After graduating with a master's degree, Li Mu is already twenty-five years old. He has worked for three years and is now twenty-eight years old. At his age, he is already considered a very young person with a master's degree.
In big cities, single young people of this age are the first to be caught, and they are everywhere.
But in his hometown in the countryside, many young people are already married in their twenties. If they are not married after the age of twenty-five, their parents will be very anxious.
Fortunately for girls, they don’t have to worry about getting married before they are thirty, but once boys pass their twenties, they will face an extremely harsh situation. Not only are their parents urging them to get married, but even their aunts and uncles are beyond their reach.
Your relatives will urge you to get married and start a family as soon as possible.
The older you are, the less popular you are in the marriage market.
Of course, except for the rich and powerful.
In Li Mu's hometown of Taocheng, the betrothal gift has soared to 300,000 yuan, the wedding gift is 100,000 yuan, the engagement gift is 100,000 yuan, and the wedding is still 100,000 yuan, and you still need a car and a house.
If you don’t have a house or a car, the matchmaker won’t bother to help you.
After Li Mu graduated from university, he rarely returned home. He was very disgusted with the marriage customs at home and had never thought of marrying a woman from his hometown.
But he has not been able to bring a girlfriend home so far, so his parents are naturally anxious. Therefore, every year during the three major holidays of May Day, National Day, and Spring Festival, his parents will urge him to go home for a blind date.
Now that May Day is approaching, Yuan Qinghua, as expected, started calling Li Mu to remind him.
"Oh, now I can travel between the two worlds. I see a bright future."
After Li Mu hung up the phone, he looked helpless: "In modern society, even if you can travel between two worlds, you can't escape the realistic pressure of parents urging you to get married..."
