"Miss, Miss...... It's a good thing, it's a good thing. ”
Before Wang San entered the house, he howled at the top of his throat.
Xia Ruan heard Wang San's distant cry in the room, so he put down the needlework in his hand.
Cuiliu blushed and said to Xia Ruan: "Miss, I, he, he is not like this on weekdays, he will not be so rude." ”
It has been a full month since the day of the cotton harvest. It's also time for price increases.
Xia Ruan smiled at Cuiliu: "You also said that he is not like this on weekdays, and today must have met a good thing to be like this." Let him come in and drink his saliva, and speak slowly. ”
When Cuiliu heard this, she couldn't raise her head shyly, and hurriedly ran out.
The smile on Xia Ruan's face slowly rose.
She watched quietly, carefully picking up the jade in the brazier with tongs on the side.
These days, her mother keeps Cuiyu and Cuiyun by her side all the time.
Mother has always been generous to people, and the two little girls are not as nervous as when they first enter the house. Occasionally, I will say a few words naughtily, but I am also well-behaved. But Xia Ruan always felt that something seemed wrong, and they gave her the feeling that she was just like the docile Xia Wen at the beginning. Xia Ruan wondered if she was thinking too much, as long as there were people around her who were slightly similar to Xia Wen's original behavior, she would be on guard.
Maybe she was really scared of the betrayal of the people she believed in the most.
"Miss, are you feeling cold?" Seeing that Xia Ruan had been looking at herself, Cuiyu straightened her waist and turned her head to ask Xia Ruan, "Do you want to add more charcoal?" ”
Xia Ruan came back to his senses, "It's not freezing here." Go and burn the brazier in the middle of the room, so that you don't freeze your mother. ”
Although Cuiyun had been waiting inside, she was still a little worried.
Cuiyu nodded: "The slave maid will go now, Miss is a filial person." If the lady knew the truth, she would be gratified. After that, he went to the inner room.
Xia Ruan couldn't help but smile.
She always liked to take the work to her mother's house these days, because when she was not with her, she rarely burned charcoal in the house. She understands that her mother wants to save money, but in the bitter cold of winter, what if her mother is frozen? So she simply used the excuse that she wanted to learn the craft of cuiliu embroidery, and came to her mother's house every day, so that her mother would use more charcoal.
"Miss, Wang San is here." Cuiliu raised the curtain and whispered, "The slave let him stand outside and talk back." ”
Xia Ruan smiled, "It's so cold outside, aren't you afraid of freezing him?" Come in, out of the way. In our family, there are not so many rules. ”
Cuiliu heard this, and shyly whispered to the person behind her, "You, come in." ”
After Wang San entered the room, with a look of surprise on his face, he bowed and greeted, "Miss." ”
His father Wang Rongan was a talent in the early years, but he was repeatedly unsuccessful after that, and he went home to farm in desperation to fill his stomach. Later, if it weren't for Li's appreciation, where could his father be the steward of Zhuangzi, and how could he marry Cuiliu, a beautiful girl. Wang San clearly remembered what his father said: Mrs. and Miss are kind people, but there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and they can't break the rules.
Wang Sanzhi said that a subordinate of his status could not enter the main house.
"Cuiliu go pour a cup of hot tea for Wang San, it's so freezing, drink something hot to warm up." Xia Ruan looked at Wang San panting, and his body was covered with snow chips, and he knew that this person had worked hard all the way.
As soon as Xia Ruan's words fell, Wang San waved his hand again and again in fright, "Miss, I'm not cold or thirsty." ”
"It's just a simple cup of hot tea, if I know that you will come at this hour, I should prepare a soup to warm my body early." Xia Ruan actually didn't expect that Wang San had never forgotten her instructions, and even had to go out to ask for the price even when it was snowing heavily. Today, it will be cold if there is less charcoal fire in this house, and it must have been freezing outside, "Drink, wait and tell me the good news you heard." ”
After Xia Ruan changed the topic, Wang San's nervous expression disappeared. After taking the tea from Cuiliu's hand, he quickly took a few sips, and smiled innocently for a while, "Miss, the price of cotton has risen, and it has risen a lot." ”
Wang San actually didn't believe what he heard. So after asking a lot of people, I learned that the price of cotton has really risen. Who would have thought that a few days ago, everyone was selling their cotton cheaply. The uncle even lost money and sold the cotton here at a low price, but in less than a month, the price of the cotton doubled.
Wang San didn't like his uncle all these years, so when he said this, he brought some schadenfreude, "Miss, this year's winter is colder than usual, and the snow is also melting slowly." Therefore, many people prepare cotton clothes that are not enough for winter. I've also heard that there is also a shortage of cotton in this palace. ”
Xia Ruan felt that this Wang Sanyue was more and more outrageous. The things in the palace, where can I hear them in this small county, it's just a rumor. But it is such a simple and easily debunked rumor, even if some people believe it, and the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes. She smiled slightly: "What is the price of cotton now?" ”
"Doubled, doubled." Wang San clenched the teacup in his hand excitedly, "Today, Shopkeeper Xue specially asked Miss if the cotton in her hand would be sold, and he said that the price would drop again in a few days." ”
Xia Ruan shook his head: "Don't sell it, let's wait a few days." ”
When Wang Sanyi heard this, the smile just now froze on his face, like a frosted eggplant.
He didn't understand, why was the price so high, and the young lady didn't sell the cotton in her hand. If the coming day is really as Shopkeeper Xue said, how much silver will have to be lost.
As long as Wang San thought of the uncle's expression of losing the silver, he was a little flustered, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he reminded, "Miss, it's doubled." That's double the price we charged. ”
"I know it." Xia Ruan took the teacup that Cuiliu handed her, "Wait a few more days, maybe the price will be better." ”
Xia Ruan Zhilu said that the price could be at least quadrupled, and this was just the beginning.
It's just that she can't talk to Wang San about these things, because who would believe that a person who is already dead will go back to his past? She felt like she was in a dream. Maybe she woke up that day, and she would still be in that cold Hou Mansion. Watching Tang Jingxuan take the silver she exchanged for her only valuable thing, she married Xia Wen into the door in a beautiful way.
It's just that fortunately, everything is as she thinks now.
So the life of the eldest aunt shouldn't be easy, right?
What she said that day, the eldest aunt must have taken it to heart. Then he was clever enough to persuade the eldest uncle to sell the cotton in his hand, and made the eldest uncle lose a lot of silver.
If the eldest aunt wants to regret it today, it will be too late.
The eldest uncle is suspicious and angry, where will he believe the words of the eldest aunt. Even if the eldest aunt said that it was her idea, the eldest uncle would think that it was just an excuse for the eldest aunt to dislike her on weekdays.
Sometimes, being smart is mistaken by being smart.
