Chapter 42: Trafficking
Chapter 42:
After Shumin's fence was repaired, she always felt very awkward, because the fence was so beautiful, and the home became more and more shabby under the care.
"Ouch, every time I walk over from afar and see the courtyard wall, that mood, tsk. When I walked into this courtyard and saw these two dilapidated houses, I felt that "Zhengxing's daughter-in-law said" was awkward. ”
"Hui'er Niang, if you don't miss this money, clean up the house together. Otherwise, it feels like entering the palace only to find that there is a group of beggars living in it," Zhengxing's daughter-in-law said
"I think so too. But the courtyard walls are so good, if you don't have dozens of them, you probably won't be able to get down!" Shumin said with a frown.
"What, why do you want dozens of cars?" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law was puzzled
"You think, when you build a new house, you have to add furniture, and if you add furniture, you have to add furnishings. After coming and going, I'm still worried that I won't be able to get dozens of cars!" Shumin said, knowing that he had told Chunsheng not to be so beautiful. But thinking of his Virgo temperament, I guess my advice is in vain.
In the past few days, they have gone hunting again, and this time they want to do a big job before the winter snow, so a few of the descendants brought dry food and planned to go farther. There is Chunsheng, they are not afraid of danger, and now in this mountain, Chunquan can be regarded as the king of beasts, as long as they are not a group, they are not afraid.
"Hey, forget it, we farmers are willing to pay a few dozen taels of silver, just treat us as beggars living in the palace!" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law was startled when she heard that she wanted so much silver, and she didn't instigate Shumin to build a new house, and she was ready to start making tofu after carrying the beans.
"Auntie, I will make money to build you a new house like a palace in the future. Feng An sighed when he saw his aunt, thinking that she had no money, so he hurriedly said.
"Feng An is really good, then I have to make good money to build a new house for my aunt. Shumin touched his little head, very comforting.
The courtyard of Shumin's house is too exquisite, and this is also the only one in Baili Village, and those who thought she had made a lot of money before felt that she had made a lot of money, and their eyes were red. The few families who are good friends with her are happy for her.
Zhang Li also went to see the courtyard wall, and when he came back, he was depressed for several days
"What's the big deal, isn't it just a wall? It's a real loser, and the money from that wall can build a small house. ”
But it was really beautiful, and after looking at the wall, I felt that my yard was getting more and more dilapidated.
Hey, I still want to save more money and build a good courtyard, who knows that it is unfavorable for the passing year, and this year's money is spent like running water. Why is it that after the broom star is gone, our Zhang family is still restrained by her?
The old man finally broke his leg once, and when he came back, the medicine money flowed out like water. Erlang was too frightened and couldn't afford to get sick when he came back, and Dao is still taking medicine.
Now all that is left on hand are some copper plates, how can you spend this day Zhang Li sat in front of the hall and sighed.
At this time, there was a bang in the kitchen, and it turned out that Hui'er was washing dishes and accidentally broke a pottery bowl
"Ouch, you lose money, you can't even wash a dish. It's really useless, I'll sell you if I knew it" I sold you if I knew it. Zhang Li stopped in time and did not say the rest of the words.
Phew, what a leak, she gave herself a small ear scraper. I thought that I was fortunate not to say it, otherwise what would I do if someone with a heart would listen to it.
Hui'er looked at Zhang Li who rushed in in horror, she was ready to be beaten, but who knew that Zhang Li actually gave herself an ear scraper. I was dumbfounded
"Look, go change your clothes, and I'll take you into town later." ”
Zhang Li has already made up his mind. Originally, she was just a little tempted, but when the old man spoke, she could only stop thinking about it. Even if Luo came to her later, she didn't hear it, but now the old ones in the family can't move when they lie down, and the little ones are sick, and some of the women have to take care of the baby, and some have just been pregnant and want to recuperate. I'm really short of money. He is the mother of the family, and she does it for the sake of the family. The old man shouldn't blame himself, right?
She rarely cleaned up Hui'er and combed a cupola bun, simple and cute.
"Our family Hui'er is really a beautiful embryo!" The more she looked at it, the more she thought Hui'er was good, but how could she want to be angry when she saw her before, she knew that she would be sold one day, and she should have been better to her before.
Soon she put away the little anxiety and guilt in her heart, took Hui'er's hand and got on the ox cart to the town. Along the way, she always wanted to be closer to Hui'er, but Hui'er just kept a distance from her. She was so angry that she thought to herself, anyway, she was a white-eyed wolf, and she couldn't raise it well, so she didn't have to feel so guilty.
When I arrived in the city, I went to the west of the city to inquire, and Luo's reputation was really good. So she went to Roche with joy and nervousness.
Roche's business is good today, and he is in a good mood. I was a little surprised to hear that she was coming, but I didn't think about it in that direction, I just thought she was here to visit. After all, when I was in the countryside, I didn't go to her house for some purposes.
"Yo Sister-in-law Li, why are you here, come in and sit down. "Roche is in the business of people's teeth, and there is no shortage of people under his hands. Immediately he ordered someone to build tea and bring it up. I leaned on the chaise longue and let the two little girls hammer their feet
"Sister-in-law Luo, you really enjoy it. Zhang Li was envious
"Hey, what's the enjoyment, it's nothing more than teaching these people the rules, so that they won't make any mistakes when they enter a big family in the future. "It turns out that these are not Luo's maids, but she bought them and haven't delivered them to other people's houses. Take the opportunity to pretend to be public and private, and train yourself. But even so, Zhang Li was envious.
"That sister-in-law Li, why did you have time to come to the city today?" asked Roche
"Hey, it's nothing, the matter of the Qian Mansion you said last time, is it still counted?" Li was a little embarrassed, after all, it was a sale of his granddaughter, not a glorious thing.
Luo listened and did not make a sound, looking Zhang Li up and down. Zhang Li dragged Hui'er over and said
"Sister-in-law Luo, what do you think of my family Hui'er? ”
Luo saw that Hui'er had changed into a hurry of clothes, combing two cupola buns, white skin, big eyes, and cute. I couldn't help but wave to her
"Hui'er, come over to Grandma Luo. ”
Hui'er walked over as she said. Roche looked at it carefully. While looking at it, he thought tactfully.
"What a beautiful child, it's a pity, last time you refused to cut your love, Master Qian has already taken a fancy to the daughter of a family surnamed Li in a neighboring county. Roche casually lied. The last time I saw Li's death, I thought she was really so backbone, so she looked at her a few times, but I didn't expect it to be no different from those who sold their daughters when they saw money.
When Li Shi heard that there was no play, her eyes suddenly dimmed a little, and she sneered, "Can you ask Master Qian again, the appearance of my family Hui'er is rare in ten miles and eight villages." It doesn't matter if it's a few taels of silver. ”
"Sister-in-law Li, look at what you said, where is Master Qian so good, besides, I have already found a daughter for him, and now I have sent it over, what about the original one? How will I gain a foothold in this industry in the future." Roche didn't like it, and said again, "But I can settle Hui'er first, and find a good place for her in the future." I love this girl. ”
"Where to go?" asked Lee
"Hui'er looks thoughtful and young, and those who can't have children must like it. Roche gently stroked Hui'er's head and said.
"It's good to be a girl for someone else, but it's just this money?" Zhang Li frowned and said, except for the Qian Mansion, where do other people have any money to buy a girl to go back? If you want to buy it, you can also buy a son. Girls aren't worth much.
"Rest assured, there will be no less. That's it, thirty taels, less than this number, I won't sell it, what?!" Luo said as if he saw through her thoughts. Although thirty taels is much, the child's mother must be willing to do it.
"Yo, that's settled. "Thirty taels is not a small amount, and now if you marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside, the dowry is only three or five taels. Li was ecstatic when he heard this.
"Then let's go through the formalities to avoid long nights and dreams. I can talk to you first of all the money. People and money are clear. Roche immediately struck with a hot iron.
"Hey, okay. Li was still quiet in the joy of thirty taels, and immediately snapped with Luo, Luo is worthy of being a veteran of this industry, and after a while, Hui'er's deed of sale was stamped with the seal of the government, and it was useless for the emperor to regret it.
Luo took the deed of sale and took thirty taels of silver to Zhang Li's family. Zhang Li touched the heavy silver, couldn't believe it, and hurriedly put it into his arms. turned his head and said to Hui'er, "Grandma is back, you play here with Grandma Luo, and in the future, Grandma Luo will help you find a rich family, and you will be Miss Qianjin." She reached out to touch Hui'er's head, and Hui'er turned her head away.
didn't touch it, she didn't get angry, but said to Roche with a smile, "This child has a big heart, you have to teach her well, big families don't like rude children." ”
She decided that Hui'er must be a daughter for a rich family, who would spend thirty taels to buy a maid!
Roche smiled and did not answer.
Zhang Li got the money as he wished, and left happily, Hui'er didn't make a sound, looked at the back of Zhang Li's departure, and secretly wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Luo Zhi was distressed, hugged her and said, "Girl, don't be sad, maybe you will laugh later." ”
Turning her head, she called in a small servant and told him, "You go to Baili Village to find a woman surnamed Qin, who makes tofu at home." Tell her to come to me quickly. ”
The little guy got the order, spread the wind under his feet, and ran to Baili Village.
