Chapter 288: Good Fortune Comes
The wind rose at night, and the tent set up by Xu Tietou outside was blown crooked by the wind, Mo Daya held a quilt and got into the carriage again, so tossed once, but couldn't sleep, and opened his eyes all night, looking at the top of the mosquito net until dawn. "Le" Wen "Xiao" said|
Mo Xiaohe slept so deeply that she didn't even dream, and when she opened her eyes, she had already arrived at the gate of Jincheng.
The group found a clean, big stall and parked the carriage on the side of the road, Gu Zheng took Xu Tietou and Lin Xiucai, and the three of them bought breakfast together, breakfast was rich in variety, butter tea in the south, egg cakes, tofu brains in the north, fritters, cakes, noodles, wontons, there were dozens of them.
"This damn poisonous mosquito can still open its mouth to bite through the mosquito net, which shows that it is very hungry and thirsty."
Lifting the curtain of the car, Li Xiu quickly got into the carriage, she just talked to Mo Daya, the other party was not in good spirits, and when she asked, it was insomnia last night, she didn't recognize the bed, she could sleep anywhere, she was fighting mosquitoes for half a night, and finally she was exhausted, so she simply fell asleep with her legs and died.
When I got up the next day, I saw that her arm was swollen twice, and even her cheek was kissed by mosquitoes.
Husband Lin Xiucai was fine at all, he had a good night's sleep, he saw the red marks on her face, and the corners of his mouth were curled in a good mood, and even his steps were much lighter.
Li Xiu was very depressed, but she didn't dare to give her opinion openly, yesterday she was sick in the carriage, she relied on him to take care of her, and vomited him, it was the time to pay the loss, so she had to endure it silently, and she slandered in her heart, her husband Lin Xiucai was just tasteless, and even mosquitoes didn't bite him!
"Mosquitoes? Is it that poisonous? ”
Mo Xiaohe was confused, she had never encountered such a situation. Gu Zheng has good ears, mosquitoes are in a certain direction, in the dark night, he is also a pat on the head, those guys who eat soft and are afraid of hard stubble encounter hard stubble, and they dare not approach.
"Huh? Could it be that the mosquitoes are bullying me? ”
Li Xiu had a bitter face, just a day after he came out, the freshness before was swept away, and he really made his cousin right, there was the same scenery everywhere along the way, and there was nothing special.
It's too late to go back now, so I can only use the novelty of Dawu Kyoto as the motivation to continue walking, but when I think of continuing to faint for more than 20 days, Li Xiu instantly looks helpless.
Mo Xiaohe drank sweet soybean milk for breakfast, two roasted wheat, Gu Zheng bought several things, she had a good appetite, she tasted a small bite of each thing, and kept the rest for the road to eat, now she is hungry almost every other hour, it's okay in the city, there is a place to buy, if it is Shangguan Dao, you can't buy fresh food.
The carriage passed by Jincheng, and the streets were full of girls selling flowers, carrying small flower baskets, selling along the way, and seeing foreigners, they were not afraid of life at all. The people of the border city are in panic all day long, for fear of smoke, but the adjacent Jincheng is peaceful.
"Sister, can you buy a flower to wear? Passing by Jincheng, you always have to leave some souvenirs, and buy a flower is a thought. ”
A seven or eight-year-old girl wearing a red dress and dressed like a New Year's doll, standing by the car window, her eyes narrowed into crescents, she looked very pleasing, her mouth was sharp, and her voice was crisp, "This flower is unique to our Jincheng, wear it fresh, wait for the flower to wilt, wash it and soak it in water to drink or make it into dried flowers, it is also beautiful!" Seeing that the Mo Xiaohe sisters were not interested, the girl rolled her eyes and said, "Sisters are going to walk a long way, there are those who are sick and seasick, wearing flowers or soaking in water, which can reduce the feeling of vertigo!" ”
In the last sentence, when it came to Li Xiu's heart, she was skeptical, "The first time I heard that there are flowers that can reduce the symptoms of motion sickness, are you sure it's not a lie?" ”
"Sister, buying and selling is not benevolent, we Jincheng people will not lie and smash our own signboards."
The girl listened to it and became serious, a flower is only sold for two cents, even if it is a one-time transaction, for two cents, it is not worth deceiving people once, this flower and plant business, it seems that there is no capital in the business, in fact, all the time of the family is spent on serving flowers and plants, so as to make a living.
Li Xiu thought about it, but it was such a reason, and he was about to buy a few, but was stopped by Mo Daya.
Before taking Mo Xiaohe to see Lao Langzhong in the town, Lao Langzhong once instructed that some flowers and plants should not be too close, there is a danger of slippery tires, and she herself has eaten too much purslane and has a miscarriage, so she is very cautious and repeatedly confirmed with the girl.
"My mother is pregnant with her little brother, she wears flowers every day, and she also soaks in water to drink, and the ancestors of the village have made a living from this, and I haven't heard of any harm."
The girl herself was not very sure, and ran to ask the adults on the side, and after learning that it was okay, Mo Daya relented, bought all the baskets of flowers in the girl's hand, and put them in the carriage.
Xu Tietou used means to get back a lot of Mo Daya's dowry, plus he has a foundation, as soon as he makes a move, he will be a few thousand taels of silver tickets, Mo Daya is not short of money now, and he has become quite generous.
Li Xiu sneered, she is also a married person, but she doesn't know anything about what happened after the woman became pregnant, and the three sisters sat together and knocked their teeth, and unknowingly, the topic of sex was mentioned.
"I think the fat man has a point, if people abandon their principles, there is no bottom line in doing things......"
Mo Xiaohe was talking about the corner of the wall that she overheard by the river last night, she didn't like the beautiful little lady, and she was born from her heart, and the white lotus looked like most of them were not fuel-efficient lamps. Of course, the facts may be different from her cognition, and as an outsider, she doesn't have backache when she stands and talks.
"Women have no name, and the road ahead will be even more difficult."
Mo Daya sighed, no matter what, the world has a lot of constraints on women, if it is really a last resort for her husband's treatment, presumably the little lady is prepared for the worst. As long as she cures her husband's leg disease, becomes a cow and a horse, and lets him slaughter and slaughter, she can understand the despair of having no way out, and there will only be mercy.
If it's really like what the fat man said, finding a high-sounding excuse for his own pleasure, it's really cheap! But both have the same result, both are a point of no return.
Xu is buy a basket of flowers has a role, the second day out of the house, Mo Daya and Li Xiu dizziness is much lighter, the group is in a hurry, dinner only in the carriage at will, until the sky is dark, find a town on the edge of the city called Fuyun to rest.
The guest house is good, the guy sent hot water and hot meals, the bedding in the room has been sunburned, soft to the touch, candlesticks and incense are placed on the table, the tables, chairs and benches are complete, except for the warmth of no home, nothing worse.
Fortune to the inn is the first in Jincheng, the merchant has the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, there are more people than usual to go to the south together, the fortune to the inn, only a few of the best Tianzi first-class rooms are left, a night to ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver, enough for the people in the village to chew for more than half a year, Li Xiu thought that she had a rich cousin, who was already insensitive to money, but when she heard that it cost ten taels for a night's sleep, she was still shocked.
"There is an independent courtyard behind the inn, and there is a night of fifty taels, one hundred taels."
Lin Xiucai rubbed the corners of his forehead, he had a headache for such a small lady, although he was a scribe in the yamen, and he only got one or two taels of silver a month, but he ran the title deed for the businessman, had oil and water, and saved some private house behind his back, plus he partnered with Li He to do the ironware business some time ago, so he didn't have less money.
Ten taels is a lot, but it is not to the point where he can't afford it, it seems that he is not capable enough, Lin Xiucai made up his mind, not only to take the exam, but also to find a way to earn more silver, and in the future, a special warehouse will be set aside for gold and silver, so that Li Xiu can wear a full set of red gold and ruby heads.
Li Xiu didn't know that she was startled and stimulated her husband Lin Xiucai, she just felt that she would sleep for the same night, check out at dawn, there was no difference between the small inn of dozens of wen and Fuyunlai, and she couldn't sleep for a few hours in total.
"Husband, before I go out, my mother talked to me and asked me not to trouble you and disturb your studies."
It was dark, Lin Xiucai finished washing, ** upper body, he was next to the oil lamp, wiping his hair casually, lowering his head, not knowing what was on his mind.
Li Xiu swallowed her saliva, she was beautiful, but she didn't want to be tortured at all, her husband was several times a night, she was afraid that she would not come tomorrow, and she would be laughed at by her cousin and Mo Daya, she lied casually and moved out of her mother-in-law, that is, she was sure that he would not confront her mother-in-law.
"Oh, yes, but my mother said let's have an heir as soon as possible, so that I won't be distracted by my studies in the future."
Lin Xiucai's eyes slid a touch of cunning, when he was stupid? He had already seen through her careful thoughts, but he didn't expose it, and he said it casually, and she was speechless, and he finally found that it was also interesting to crush a person in terms of IQ.
