Chapter 108: Can't Accept It
Doudou bought a donkey again, which can be regarded as a continuation of her fate with the donkey for several months. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's all silver.
Inferior horses twenty taels and can't afford them.
Fifteen taels of high-quality donkeys, still can't afford it.
In the end, I chose a small donkey with a lot of hair, eight taels.
The reason why it is eight taels is not because it is old, nor because it is thin.
Purely because this donkey is born with a bad temper, he has a bad temper all day long, and he has to kick at every turn.
As long as it's cheap, a bad temper is not a problem for Doudou at all.
It didn't take long for her to coax the little donkey very well.
She bought a few baked cakes and a skin water bladder, and rode the donkey on the road.
As for Brother Benlei, Doudou didn't plan to care about him, but he didn't spend a penny for seven months, so she really didn't need to worry about it.
To Shunqing Mansion, he could have gone straight south from Songpanwei, but Doudou rode a little donkey all the way to the southeast, first to Lanzhou Mansion, then to Gongchang Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion, all the way to Hanzhong Mansion.
When I meet an inn, I don't play a sharp child, and when I go to the market, I never buy anything else except steamed bread and baked cakes, and my favorite thing is to go to the grain store, or I just wander around in the fields of others.
I saw that she had been in the dust all the way, and her whole person was dark and thin, and she looked more and more like a kid.
Ben Lei, who was secretly protecting her, had no idea what she meant.
The girl is destined to have fine clothes and food for a lifetime, even if she wants to preside over the feed in the future and manage the grange shop under the name of the little prince, she does not need to do everything herself.
What does it mean to run all day long in the wind and sun in the fields?
Ben Lei pressed the doubts in his heart and continued to follow Doudou patiently.
On this day, the two came to Hanzhong Mansion.
Doudou went to the market to buy food and walked directly to the largest grain.
This year, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grain in the northwestern state capitals is bumper harvest.
Doudou traveled all the way, in fact, to look at the grain harvest in various places and the price of grain collected by grain banks.
A bumper grain harvest is a good thing, especially in the northwest, where the population is sparsely populated and the environment is harsh, and it has not been seen for many years.
In fact, the people who grow food for a living are not happy at all.
The taxes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not very heavy compared to those of the previous dynasties.
After a good harvest like this year's has been paid, and the peasants have paid their taxes and rents, and have left enough grain for the next year's grain and grain for their own consumption, a large part of the surplus can be sold to the grain stores in exchange for the silver taels needed for life.
However, it is precisely because this year's harvest is so good that the price of grain cannot go up at all.
Not only did it not go up, but as the autumn harvest progressed, prices continued to fall.
The shopkeepers of the grain banks were unhurried, and the peasants were so anxious that smoke was coming out of their heads.
Doudou led the little donkey, and with many farmers pushing small carts to sell grain, they came to the door of the grain store.
The scale of this grain store is very large, and the two big characters "Mei Ji" on the signboard are very eye-catching, and Doudou is no longer unfamiliar with this signboard along the way.
Not only the grain store, but also the word "Mei Ji" also appeared on the signboards of many commercial houses, including silk villages, restaurants, rouge shops, silver buildings and so on.
Even people who don't know the local people's livelihood can see that the owner of this "Mei Kee" is doing a lot of business.
Doudou has been to a lot of places when he is young, whether it is Jiangnan, Shandong or Beijing, there are many big commercial houses like this, and big merchants have also seen a lot.
What made her strange was that all the Mei Ji grain stores in all state capitals had closed their doors recently.
It is obviously the autumn harvest season, but what does it mean that the grain store is not open?
When she was in Fengxiang Mansion, Doudou inquired, and it is said that the Meiji Grain Store in Hanzhong Mansion is the general number of this grain store, so she went straight here as soon as she arrived in Hanzhong Mansion.
With this curiosity, Doudou used some strength to squeeze into the crowd.
The door of the grain store is open, but it doesn't look like it's open for business.
The shopkeeper was talking to a man in gray with a hat on his head, and the other guys were explaining to the people who were about to sell food.
The crowd was so loud that Doudou couldn't hear what they were saying.
I think it's all about the price of grain purchases.
Doudou was about to ask two people about it, but he felt that the reins in his hand suddenly tightened.
The woolly donkey has been very obedient recently, and Doudou thought that the donkey's temper had been smoothed out by her.
I didn't expect to be squeezed by the crowd today, this guy is blowing.
Soon someone was beaten by the hooves of a donkey, and the already crowded gate of the grain store suddenly became chaotic.
Doudou has one head and two big, where can he care about asking for any news, and he is making a fuss and apologizing, and it took a lot of effort to pull the little donkey out of the crowd.
The little donkey who got into trouble quickly recovered his obedience after getting out of the crowd, and made Doudou's little face so angry that it turned black.
I can't wait to pull this guy to slaughter and eat donkey meat.
Where was she still in the mood to take care of the food business, and turned over on the back of a donkey.
Just as she was about to leave, someone grabbed her corner.
I only heard a childish voice shouting, "Sister, is it you?"
Ga? Doudou was suddenly shocked.
Anyone in this place can still recognize her?
Her current dress and black and thin virtue, even her father and grandmother may not be able to recognize it at a glance, which way is the fairy so powerful!
Doudou immediately twisted her head behind her, only to see a child with a hat tugging at the corner of her clothes, and his face was not visible from her angle.
She has no acquaintances at all in Hanzhong Mansion, let alone such an older child.
"Who am I, I said?" Doudou was a little impatient.
As if he had just reacted, the child lifted the hat with his other hand, revealing a small round bald head.
He smiled and said, "Sister, it's me, Wuxin." ”
Doudou was stunned, it turned out that he was the little monk Wuxin who he had met in Wenshu Monastery in Baoding Mansion last year.
It's just that this little guy has a good memory and poisonous eyes, and he can still recognize her.
Seeing that Doudou ignored him, Wuxin pouted with some disappointment: "It turns out that the donor can't remember the poor monk anymore." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.
Ouch my ancestor, the little guy has a big temper, my sister instantly became a donor, and Wuxin will soon become a poor monk!
Doudou quickly jumped off the donkey's back and grabbed Wuxin's arm.
"Oh, Wuxin, forgive my sister's clumsiness, don't be angry...... Where's your master, Master Xuanzhen?"
The little monk turned his head and laughed again: "Sister, Wuxin is not angry, I deliberately tease you, my master is talking to the shopkeeper of the grain store." ”
Doudou was really surprised this time, but after going out for a year, the little monk's temperament has changed greatly, and he will be joking!
It's just that this head hasn't grown much taller, and a nine-year-old still looks like he's six or seven years old.
Doudou stretched his neck and looked at the grain store, and sure enough, the gray-clothed man wearing a hat was wearing a monk's robe, and she really didn't pay attention.
She pulled Wuxin aside and said with a smile: "How long have you two been in the Great Northwest?"
Wuxin said: "The master took me to the Qingliang Temple of Wutai Mountain last year to pay respects, and then he came all the way to the northwest. ”
Doudou wanted to ask a few words, but saw that Master Xuanzhen had already walked towards them.
Sure enough, fate has arrived, and you can meet it without going to the capital.
I'm really unconvinced!
She hurriedly folded her hands and said, "The little woman has seen the master. (To be continued.) )
