84. Can't afford it
"Nothing, just remembering my sister. Yun Niang's voice was muffled: "My sister was sold to Huo Matchmaker three years ago, and I haven't seen her since then." ”
Liu Dong'er was a little surprised, she knew that in her eyes, the people were for them, and the little maid was sent to your apartment to teach a good lesson. And in the eyes of some people, the human tooth is in control of the future of their family members.
"Miss, can you go over and have a look? I want to know who has been sold this time. "Yun Niang has grown up in Zhuangzi since she was a child, and she has never left Zhuangzi once until this time, so she naturally knows everything about Zhuangzi's people.
Liu Dong'er was impossible, and after asking Liu Man'er, she didn't have a fixed opinion, so several people followed Yun Niang to find Huo Matchmaker.
Mrs. Huo was buying someone, and she was buying a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. That girl is tall and tall, and her appearance is also outstanding in Zhuangzi, at least she looks much better than Yun Niang. And the girl was a little reluctant, as if she didn't want to be bought.
Looking at this pomp and circumstance in the most surprised, Liu Dong'er never knew that the little maids were not sold voluntarily, and when they bought maidservants at home in the past, which of the little maids who could stay was not dancing with their eyebrows?
Lowering her head and hiding the sadness in her eyes, Liu Dong'er thought that if she didn't live in the Gaomen compound, she would be happy every day, as if they were like this at this time, at this time, Liu Dong'er could figure it out, so they could accompany them on Zhuangzi with worry, it was because they were friends and misses.
"Sister, can I buy this person?" Liu Man'er pulled Liu Dong'er's arm and asked in a low voice.
Over the years, Liu Man'er's nature has indeed changed a lot, but her pride in her bones has not changed. Hearing such an unpolite remark from Mrs. Huo, she was so angry that she shuddered: "Isn't this buyer supposed to be bought by whoever bids?" I want it, and I pay double the price!"
Liu Dong'er frowned slightly, but there was no language. Liu Man'er said this politely, but Liu Man'er is also an official lady, and her status is much higher than that matchmaker who is running around all day.
"You wild girl ring is so unreasonable!" Huo Matchmaker was angry, turned around and yelled at the person who sold her daughter: "If you sell it to her, I won't take all the children in your Zhuangzi in the future!"
The man who sold his daughter hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, it's still sold to Huo Matchmaker." ”
Liu Man'er was half angry, but it happened that Mrs. Huo glanced at Liu Man'er playfully, smashed her mouth, and her eyes fell on the hat Liu Man'er was wearing: "Is this so beautiful that you don't want people to see it? Or is it so ugly that you can't see it? Hmph! ”
"You, you, you!" Liu Man'er was so angry that she couldn't even say a word, Liu Dong'er was worried about her old injury, and she fell ill because she was too angry. What's more, this old lady Liu Man'er and the old lady have taught it, and the second master Liu Zhang's has taught it, maybe Liu Dong'er can also say a few words, but it is not the turn of a person to talk about long and short.
In particular, this person is too toothy, and he doesn't hit people in the face!
Hmph, from now on, the rent on this Zhuangzi will be reduced by 20%, and all the farmers must no longer do any business with this sharp-toothed man's teeth in the future. If there is a violator, he will be expelled from Zhuangzi!" Liu Dong'er is the kind of character who usually laughs and laughs, but once he gets angry, it is extremely terrifying.
is just a Zhuangzi, with Liu Zhang's love for Liu Dong'er, I am afraid that if she wants Zhuangzi, she will give it to her. As for rent reduction, it's no problem, the Liu family doesn't lack this little money, so it doesn't matter if it's completely free.
Liu Dong'er's words were so loud that they frightened a group of onlookers, until a farmer noticed Yun Niang next to Liu Dong'er, and couldn't help asking.
Yun Niang was also a little frightened, and when she heard the questioning of others, she understood: "These two are the young ladies of the main family, and they will live in Zhuangzi for a few days temporarily. I think her words are true. Yun Niang also knew that the last sentence was what the villagers wanted to hear, but she didn't dare to be sure about it, so she could only vaguely respond to it.
"My words can be counted, and from now on, the rent will be reduced by 20%. But I also said it, the premise is that you can't do any business with this person, if you violate it, you will directly hit Zhuangzi!" Liu Dong'er knew very well that most of the farmers on this farm were ordinary farmers who worked hard, and her words were enough.
The bankers whispered for a while, but finally decided to gamble. They have not been short of money and food recently, and they can really make Liu Dong'er say that they can subtract 20% of the rent!
As for the family who was planning to sell their daughter before, they were at a loss. There was still a Meiyi dealer who reminded him: "Hurry up and sell your daughter to the young lady of the main family, otherwise you will be driven out of the Zhuangzi!"
The man was startled, and in a panic, he pushed his daughter in front of Liu Dong'er. Liu Dong'er was slightly surprised, and looked back at Liu Man'er: "Sister, this person ......"
"I'll buy it!" Liu Man'er took out double the silver and bought the little maid. In fact, she doesn't care how much money she spends, Liu Zhang is not a mean person, although she has rarely gone out over the years, but the money and items she should have have never been missing her share. When she came out this time, Liu Man'er sorted out the money box, and then realized that she was also a small industry.
bought the little maid and blew the man's teeth away, Liu Man'er was a little happier. I didn't go to play with the newly bought maid, and went back to the room directly, and had a good chat with the new maid in the name of it.
Liu Dong'er also left with a smile, but was stopped by Yun Niang.
"What's wrong?" Liu Dong'er looked at her puzzled.
"Miss, this is ...... today."
"Don't worry, I will do what I say, and I will definitely reduce the rent. Liu Dong'er thought that she was worried about this, and prompted the most kindly.
"No, that's not what Yun Niang wants to say. Yun Niang pursed her lips and spoke hesitantly: "Did Miss hate Huo Matchmaker first because Yun Niang said that she never saw her sister after she took her away?"
Liu Dong'er was stunned for a moment and instinctively retorted: "How come?"
How could it not?, Liu Dong'er regarded Renyazi as a servant, and did not regard them as equal people at all. And Shicai, she didn't cut off other people's financial resources because of a little quarrel.
"My mother often said that you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and you should leave a line in everything. All they said was not to debate with others, otherwise they would be avenged by the villain. What's more, that Huo Matchmaker is not a thug, if she hadn't bought my sister in the first place, maybe I would have died of illness. ”
"Sick and dead?"
Liu Dong'er was shocked by Yun Niang's words, she forgot such an idle method, but she happened to be clever. Last time, the second wife of the Zhang family was like this, and at this time it was average. Liu Dong'er felt that she really should think about it!
Life in Zhuangzi is the most relaxed, but Liu Donger also slowly learned to deal with ordinary people first. In the end, in her previous life, she had too few opportunities to deal with people, even if she was reborn, she was much gentler with her friends, but it couldn't hide Liu Dong'er's attitude of despising her subordinates.
In addition to having fun in Zhuangzi, Liu Dong'er will also go to the capital for a walk. It's just that this trip is not close, and it must be pulled out in the morning, and it is almost in the middle of the night to rush back. And on the way to the capital once, Liu Donger met a pair of master and servant.
"Can you give us a ride when the owner of the carriage is tired? Our carriage is broken and will not be repaired, but we just want to give it a ride. "Speech is naturally the master of master and servant. The master spoke politely, and his appearance was also good, if it was on Liu Dong'er before, she would definitely not pay attention to it. What does it have to do with someone else's carriage being unfavorable?
It's just that since being prompted by Yun Niang, Liu Dong'er first thought about other aspects, such as thinking more from the other party's point of view. After hesitating for a while, Liu Dong'er motioned to the coachman to let them come up, there were dolls in the carriage, but they were not lonely men and widows.
The master and servant got into the carriage with the greatest joy, but when they saw that there were two young girls in the carriage, they hesitated again.
Liu Dong'er looked at him, but his heart softened again: "It's okay, you just sit at the door of the car." ”
The master and servant were no longer hypocritical, and sat down next to the car door. There was nothing to say all the way, and when they arrived in the capital, the pair of master and servant thanked them and got out of the car. When they got out of the car, the doll first pulled Liu Dong'er and spoke: "Master, what do you think of the young master of Shicai? It looks like it should be the eldest young master of the official eunuch family!"
Liu Dong'er endured it and didn't roll her eyes, daring to be a doll who didn't speak and held back, to see what she had become.
"Master, do you really want to hang your neck from a tree?" Because of Liu Dong'er's indulgence, the doll occasionally speaks a little childishly, which is also in front of Liu Dong'er alone, she will look like this: "What kind of person is the eldest young master of the Han family who is engaged to the master? The doll has even seen the second young master of the Xu family, the eldest young master of the Lin family, and even the brother of the Guo family, but it just so happens that the master will marry in the future, but the doll has never seen it." ”
Liu Dong'er couldn't help but answer: "I'm going to marry him sooner or later, and it's inconvenient for you to see him then?"
"It's impossible, it's impossible, what if he's a marijuana face? Besides, why have the eldest wife of the Han family and the two Miss Han seen you, but you haven't met the eldest young master of the Han family? This is unfair!"
"What are you talking about?" so that this is in the carriage, and it may not be impossible to be heard by the people inside, and the sound insulation of the carriage is not good. Signaling the doll to be quiet for a while, I don't want the doll to really say it's addicted.
"Master, do you think about it yourself? Their Han family has already seen you, and maybe they will take it back and judge you! It just so happens that you haven't seen the eldest young master of the Han family, isn't it a big loss?" The doll shook Liu Dong'er's hand, and he must seize the welfare for Liu Dong'er.
Liu Dong'er was so angry and funny by her, she was looking forward to getting married safely at this time, but she didn't bother to think about the next things. In the end, the Han family has the upper hand in the population, even if there is a second room, but an unfavored concubine will not be in the way. Especially after returning from the Guo family, Liu Donger felt more and more that the population was easy to be as good as it was. Not to mention, just the daily communication and greetings can save a lot of work. Besides, Liu Dong'er's interpersonal contacts at this time are no problem, but it doesn't mean that she has porridge.
In Liu's family, she also asked the old lady and Liu Zhang's family to say goodbye every day. The old lady is going to answer every day, and Liu Zhang's side doesn't care at all, even if Liu Dong'er doesn't go, Liu Zhang's won't say anything. I have no intention of going to the eldest lady's side again, talking with her for a while, maybe having some snacks together, such an easy population, and they are all Liu Dong'er's blood relatives, so she will not be impatient. If this is like the Guo family, a large number of relatives and close friends are respectful of the elder concubine, and she will be crazy to make her crazy.
"I think the Han family is very good, don't say this kind of thing anymore, it's meaningless. Liu Dong'er spoke lightly, she knew that the doll was completely forcing her to make a statement, if she didn't say this, she was afraid that the doll would be crooked.
"Hehe, master, you haven't even seen the Han family's eldest young master, why do you think he's good?"
"I mean, the Han family is pretty good. Speaking again, Liu Dong'er's tone was a little helpless. She didn't know, why did the doll cause chatter after the pair of masters and servants got out of the car today? Could it be that there was no speech along the way, which suffocated her?
"The Han family, isn't it the eldest young master of the Han family?" The doll was a little stunned, tilted her head and thought for a while: "That is to say, in your mind, what kind of person the eldest young master of the Han family is is really not so important, what you care about is really the Han family, right?"
"Yes. There is nothing to disapprove of, Liu Dong'er simply agreed.
It's a pity that no matter how much talent you have, no matter how much you are born, you can resist a disease. I heard that my grandfather was in a hurry after the rain and caught a cold, so he couldn't afford to get sick, so he didn't go for a long time. When the information reached Zhang's house, my grandmother fell into a coma and went with her in less than ten days. In their room, there was only one lone seedling left in Liu Zhang's family. At that time, Liu Zhang was only three years old.
Looking at the soft shop in front of him, Liu Donger didn't go in for a long time. She has also been to the capital twice before, but she has visited other people's shops, Liu Dong'er is here to shop, and she doesn't have too many feelings, but when she arrived at Liu Zhang's wedding shop today, there was something wrong.
Liu Zhang's dowry is roughly divided into two parts, one part is the family business accumulated by his grandfather in the past, all of which are in the capital, including the hot spring Zhuangzi where Liu Dong'er lived at this time. The other part is the industry owned by the Zhang family, and that part is the big one. Liu Zhang's family doesn't particularly care about marriage, because she has something to help take care of, but she doesn't have to worry about it. What's more, she can't even manage the yard well, so letting her manage the dowry shop is called blind tossing.
Liu Dong'er is different, she is looking at this soft shop from an innocent customer. This is a Broadway brand, which was originally acquired by my grandfather, but it did not change its signboard and maintained all the staff. It stands to reason that the business of this fine soft shop should be very good, but Liu Dong'er is not like that.
Slightly hesitant, Liu Dong'er whispered to the doll, changed her opinion, she decided not to expose her identity for the time being, and went to this soft store to buy a few gold jewelry.
The Broadway brand was placed over there, and when I entered the shop, some people came up and asked questions. Helplessly, Liu Dong'er has been jumping up and down in the farm every time, and when she and Liu Man'er are growing tall, many clothes can't be worn, so she simply measured her body and made a few new clothes.
And the maidservant Chunfei needlework brought by Liu Dong'er is not bad, but she usually only makes a few intimate clothes for Liu Dong'er, and can't make a coat. Therefore, Liu Dong'er was wearing clothes that he had made after arriving in Zhuangzi at this time.
It's not a shame, it's gorgeous, but it's so bad, and it's despised by the people in the soft shop.
Liu Dong'er didn't care about this kind of thing, besides, she came to see what the problem was with this soft store today. It's just that she hasn't done business at all, and she has no problem looking at the quality of things, but if it is to look at the means of doing business, she is a little helpless, and Rao is so, she can also see that something is wrong.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the whole soft shop, but those offices and guys who work hard to welcome guests, almost everyone has a feeling of impetuousness, as if they are very uneasy and a little anxious. But Liu Donger couldn't see where the actual problem was.
"Miss, this set of gold ornaments on the head is quite suitable for you, why don't you take a look, Miss?" may have been because the contemptuous eyes of the young man who greeted them angered the doll, and the doll casually pointed to a set of gold ornaments on the head that were very valuable at first glance.
If you want to say that the doll's vision is not wrong, that set of head gold jewelry is really valuable. But the problem is that it is a set of pure gold head gold ornaments, and all the kits are heavy gold. It's worth a lot, but Liu Dong'er can't hold it down!
Looking at the doll with a wry smile, Liu Dong'er first questioned her aesthetics. Liu Dong'er is only fifteen years old, he is still young, and his appearance is weak and delicate. If you wear some small flower-shaped gold jewelry, you may use some jade hairpins, which is also fine. But this kind of shiny and heavy pure gold head and face gold jewelry, she questioned herself very much, even if she was thirty or forty years old, she couldn't hold it down.
"Miss, buy it! look how beautiful it is!" happened to be the doll looked unrelenting, but the young man showed a mocking expression.
Liu Dong'er looked at this, and looked at it, with an embarrassed expression.
Just at this time, the pair of master and servant also came over, and they heard the conversation between them, and naturally saw Liu Dong'er's embarrassed expression. The young master chuckled: "This young lady is afraid that it is not suitable for wearing fine and soft, so she may be able to think about this style of gold and jade, for fear that it will be more and more applicable." ”
"Thank you, Miss, for your help. The young master smiled slightly: "But I still have to say that this young lady is not suitable for pure gold jewelry." ”
Liu Dong'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, and didn't answer, and directly asked the young man to take a set of gold jewelry. In fact, the law of this dynasty is lenient for women, and all women of the previous dynasty are not allowed to go out until they are married, even if they are accompanied by others. Even if they are married, they are not allowed to go out without their husbands. Moreover, you must wear a bib when you go out, otherwise it will be considered unchaste.
In this dynasty, however, there is too much forgiveness in this regard. When an unmarried woman is engaged, it is not so strict. Of course, going out alone is still not allowed, but it doesn't hurt to have someone with you. As for marriage, it will be more convenient to go out, which is one of the reasons why Liu Donger is looking forward to getting married as soon as possible.
However, although the law is forgiving, women also have to rely on self-respect. It's like Liu Dong'er said that he went out shopping, but he was picked up by a carriage when he went in and out, and he never talked to Mushengren. If you want to speak, you have to go through the mouth of your personal servant.
The young master also looked at Liu Dong'er embarrassed, so he interjected, and seeing Liu Dong'er's smile and silence, he woke up again: "I'm sorry, I'm presumptuous." "It looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old lady's family is not yet engaged, maybe someone is here to buy a dowry. It's a bit unsteady for him to interject like that.
Liu Dong'er didn't care, but she didn't answer anything, but obeyed the young master's suggestion and chose a set of gold and jade-inlaid head gold ornaments. In fact, if you really want to talk about the price, pure gold gold jewelry is not very expensive, like the gold inlaid jade that Liu Donger picked is only expensive but not cheap. Naturally, this can't be the same as Liu Zhang's preparation for her, you must know that Liu Zhang's things are generally not high-quality products.
This set is not bad. Let the doll help her take a look, Liu Dong'er paid the money, and looked at the young man stunned, and it can also be regarded as trusting the talent Liu Dong'er was unwilling to take over the pure gold head and gold jewelry, just because he was not porridge, not because he couldn't afford it.
After buying a set of gold jewelry, Liu Donger was not satisfied, what she wanted to know was about the business status of this soft store. Helplessly, even if she looks like a big customer, she can take secrets from other people's mouths, but she is not so idle. Besides, a young man may not know much.
Liu Dong'er looked at him with some puzzlement, but she didn't know what this person wanted to do. After a moment's hesitation, she winked at the doll.
"We are not from the capital, if the young master wants to ask for directions, then you will find the wrong person. The doll said most bluntly, this is not a rule, but it is not rude.
The young master smiled, as if he saw that the doll was a little unkind to him: "In this case, I won't disturb Miss's Yaxing, so I'll leave." He didn't want to get up, but he just felt that although Liu Dong'er was not very old, he was stable and had a calm aura. It just so happened that the little maid beside her was a quirky spirit, and she made Liu Dong'er helpless every time.
