Xuan Miaoer took two small wood carvings to Liu's house in the west courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, sitting under the window and taking advantage of the last bit of sunset to make a fuss, the picture was very beautiful, like a picture scroll.

Liu Xiaotao saw Xuan Miao'er and stood up happily: "Why are you here, are you okay?" I can't go to see you, I'm worried about dying, but fortunately I know that you have proved your innocence, otherwise your reputation will be ruined, but it will be ruined for a lifetime." ”

Xuan Miao'er looked at the girl in front of her, she was not very old, but it made sense to speak, and she couldn't help but like it a little more: "I'm fine, but I don't remember some things, I didn't come out in the past few days because I was pretending to be sick and lying down, otherwise my grandmother would punish me for kneeling for three days." ”

Looking at Xuan Miao'er in front of her, Liu Xiaotao was a little in a trance: "Why did your temperament change when you were sick?"

Xuan Miao'er burst out laughing, if this was an ordinary person's implicit question, this Liu Xiaotao actually asked directly: "Sister Xiaotao, I have died once, and if I want to be bullied by others like before, then I am not at a loss?"

Liu Xiaotao laughed: "What I said is, I have long advised you not to listen to other people's gossip, you see me and my mother, have you been arranged by others these years? Isn't it very good to live? Let's go in and say, lest the people in your house hear it and say that you are not." ”

Xuan Miao'er looked at Liu Xiaotao and really felt right: "Well, go in and say, I still have to borrow something from Sister Xiaotao." ”

As soon as the two entered the door, Aunt Liu came out: "Miao girl is here, you two young ladies go in and say, I still have to feed the chickens." ”

Xuan Miaoer called out affectionately: "Aunt Liu, then Sister Xiao Tao and I will go in." ”

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, this girl rarely spoke before, but today it seems to be different, and she didn't come up with anything after thinking about it, so she went to feed the chickens.

Entering Liu Xiaotao's house, the two sat down on the edge of the kang, Liu Xiaotao remembered what Xuan Miaoer had just said and asked, "What do you want to use?" I'll give it to you first, so as not to forget it after a while. ”

Xuan Miaoer took out two small wood carvings from her sleeves and handed them over: "I want to borrow some colored ropes from Sister Xiao Tao, tie these wood carving pendants, and I want to sell them at the town market tomorrow." ”

Liu Xiaotao took the wood carving pendant in Xuan Miaoer's hand, and looked at it again: "It's so beautiful, did your brother carve it?"

Xuan Miaoer didn't want to hide it: "I got it with my brother, if Sister Xiao Tao says it's good-looking, it is estimated that it can be sold, these two will be brought to you to play, and if there are good-looking ones in the future, I will give them to Sister Xiao Tao." ”

Liu Xiaotao didn't shirk it, and held it in her hand: "Then I'll take it, I have a lot of ropes for this tie, you can just pick some of them, here are all leftover wastes, worthless, you can take them casually." ”

Xuan Miaoer is also not polite, pick up what she likes, she doesn't need to be too long, this is just right, she is an accessory, where do people want to match after buying it, just tie it up.

After talking to Liu Xiaotao for a long time at Liu's house, Xuan Miaoer went home, she felt that she had a real friend or best friend in this time and space, and she was full of joy.

Back home, Liu was already embroidering by the oil lamp, and Xuan Anrui and Xuan Anhao were polishing the wood carving with sandbags.

Xuan Miaoer put the colored rope on the kang, and everyone came to see, no one in their house played the rope, so they didn't often have such a fancy rope, and they all took it and looked at it.

Seeing that the wood carvings in everyone's hands were almost polished, Xuan Miaoer began to match each wood carving with colored ropes of corresponding colors.

When I was in school, there was a popular bracelet, and I didn't have a tendency to go with the flow, but the knitting of the bracelet was also considered art, and the good ones could make up the names of the letters.

The family had no doubts about her ability to weave colored ropes, thinking that Liu Xiaotao taught her, and they didn't ask more.

These wood carving pendants are also tied to the color rope overnight, but if they go to sell it tomorrow, they can only sell it by Xuan Miaoer and Xuan Anhao, and everyone else is very busy.

Because both sisters and brothers have been to the county seat before, and now Xuan Miaoer's temperament, the family is more at ease, so I just give a few more words, after all, Xuan Miaoer is eleven years old, and she is not completely a child in this era.

What's more, at this time, the people were simple, and there were no children who stole or abducted, so they just brought dry food, and they didn't think about what money the two of them really earned, just to be able to exchange some sugar to eat, and give them to relieve their own cravings.

The next morning, Xuan Miaoer and Xuan Anhao both changed into newer clothes, but there were fewer patches, but Liu was a clean person, and the clothes were neat and clean, no matter whether they were old or new.

The sister and brother went on the road with a small burden on their backs, but fortunately, the county seat in the village was not far away, and the two little short legs walked and rested, and they arrived after walking for about an hour.

This is the first time Xuan Miaoer has entered the city, looking at the green bricks and tiles around, the pedestrians on the street are dressed brightly, although the road is not busy, it is also bustling and lively.

There is everything sold in the bazaar, and for a while, all kinds of buying and selling are coming and going, Xuan Anhao is still a child, so he has to take a few more glances when he sees the excitement.

Xuan Miaoer came here to make money, and when she got rich, she quickly bought some fine grains, fortunately, they were independent, at least they could secretly drink some porridge and boil eggs.

After looking around, Xuan Miaoer chose a big willow tree to set up a stall next to it, because there are not many stalls around this willow tree, and there is a kind old lady selling vegetables on the side.

Seeing Xuan Miao'er's sister and brother passing by, the old lady who sold vegetables spoke first: "What are these young ladies and brothers selling? ”

Xuan Miao'er called out with a smile: "Hello mother-in-law, my brother and I sell some small wood carved pendants." ”

Xuan Anhao also called: "Mother-in-law is good." ”

The old lady who sold vegetables looked at her sister and brother and liked it sensibly: "Everyone calls me Cai Po Zi on the set, you call me Cai Po Po, put it up quickly, sell things early, and pay taxes later." ”

Xuan Miao'er was not surprised to hear that she was paying taxes, isn't this the protection fee: "Granny Cai, how much do you have to pay?"

Cai Pozi said: "Our small business is only two or three a day, and the big business is more." ”

Xuan Miao'er knew in her heart: "Thank you, Granny Cai." ”

Then the sister and brother began to organize their things, Xuan Miaoer used a big red cloth to cushion the bottom, and a black flannel cloth on the top, this collocation is more modern, simple but easy to set off the color and style of the item.

She carefully arranged the wood carving pendants according to the color and type, and then found two stones, and her brother sat down.

At this time, there were more people in the market, and it was close to noon, and many families came out to buy things.

Xuan Miaoer's things are not big, so they are not so attractive for a while.

Xuan Anhao asked her: "Sister, are we going to sell? You see that everyone has to shout, and others will buy it." ”

Xuan Miaoer shook her head: "Our thing is elegant, it can't be like selling pork, people who like it will naturally see it, and if they don't like it, even if they see it, they may not buy it." ”

Xuan Anhao nodded in understanding and continued to sit beside Xuan Miao'er.
