Chapter 217: Treasure Zhai
The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...
Chapter 217
After frying the cakes, Hui Niang quickly prepared six breakfasts, Orchid looked at her portion, twisted and pinched, and a little embarrassed to move the chopsticks, hesitated for a while, saw Hui Niang They all eat, did not look at her, hypocritical for a while, or picked up the chopsticks and ate silently.
The mooncakes made last night, Hui Niang had already put them away, and when she set off, she just had to take them.
For the things to be sold, Fan Ming and Luo Jiu had already moved into the ox cart, and after breakfast, everyone went their separate ways.
Luo Jiu drove the ox cart and drove Aunt Orchid to the town, there are relatively few things to prepare today, I believe that Luo Jiu and Orchid should be able to come back soon.
And Fan Ming borrowed someone else's ox cart and drove Hui Niang's mother and son and Fan Lei to the city together.
After eating breakfast in the morning, Old Man Fan brought a knife and rope, and went to the mountains with Fan Lin to cut bamboo.
Li looked at Old Man Fan with this mysterious appearance, and scolded Old Man Fan behind his back for a long time, until he couldn't see Old Man Fan's figure, so he gave up and went back to the house.
The ox cart staggered all the way in the direction of the city, and it was late today, when the sky was already bright and the sun was slowly rising.
On the ox cart, Hui Niang hugged Miao Miao, who was still a little confused, thinking about things, Fan Lei was also silent, looking at the landscape on both sides, I didn't know that I had already wandered there.
Only Fan Ming drove the ox cart seriously, without blinking his eyes.
At this time, Hui Niang, who was still thinking about things, spoke, "Ah Ming, when we have money, let's buy a carriage." ”
It's not that Hui Niang dislikes it, it's true that this ox cart is too slow, it's almost the same as walking, and it's more comfortable than walking. At least sitting, but at this speed, Hui Niang really didn't dare to compliment.
If the moon cake business is successful, it will definitely be inconvenient to send the moon cake in an ox cart, mainly because it is too time-consuming, so Hui Niang plans to wait for a while to negotiate, try to let the family pay the deposit first, so that when you come back, it will not be so slow.
There is also a Hui Niang, who is also very tired to see Fan Ming in a hurry. Thinking, it's better to buy a carriage.
As soon as these words came out, Fan Lei and Fan Ming both looked at Hui Niang.
Fan Ming was stunned for a moment. quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, listen to you." ”
Miao Miao's drowsiness didn't happen instantly, and she looked at Hui Niang expectantly, "Mother." Are you serious? Do we really want to buy a carriage? ”
Miao Miao was very envious when she thought about the tall carriage, the carriage, she has always been very envious, if their family also has a carriage, it is estimated that others will envy her, right?
Hui Niang nodded and snorted. Whether you buy it or not, it depends on whether this mooncake is powerful?
Fan Lei hesitated for a while before he spoke. "Third sister-in-law, this carriage is not cheap, do you really want to buy it?"
There was disapproval in his eyes, Fan Lei hoped that Hui Niang would think about it again, and this horse would cost dozens of taels of silver. and a canopy or something, plus forty or fifty taels of silver. Can the third brother's family come up with so much silver? He didn't think it was right at all, and there was nothing wrong with the ox cart.
As far as he knows, the third brother's family doesn't seem to be very rich, although he has built such a big house, he can use more money than he earns back, and he has borrowed other people's debts, if he buys a carriage, won't the third brother's family be poorer?
Hui Niang knew Fan Lei's worried mood and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
Then he continued to discuss with Fan Ming and Miao Miao what kind of carriage to buy, Fan Lei knew that Hui Niang had sold hundreds of taels of vegetables alone, and he was still uneasy.
The family entered the city with a smile, and only Fan Lei was still depressed, what should I do? The third sister-in-law didn't listen to persuasion, if the third brother really bought an ox cart, wouldn't the burden be heavier?
Hui Niang couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw Fan Lei's appearance, thinking that he was worried that the mooncakes would not sell, so she persuaded him, "Fourth brother, don't think about it there, you see that we are not as worried as you, just worry about it, look at it." ”
Fan Ming interjected at this time: "He's just a chicken woman, and he has a heart that can't be fucked." ”
These words made everyone laugh, and Fan Lei's ears were a little red.
When I arrived in the city, it was almost ten o'clock, and the sun was getting more and more shining, but I still couldn't stop the shouts of the vendors, and it was still a bustling street, with guests coming and going, and it looked very lively.
"Mother, are we in the city? You see. Miao Miao pointed to the high city gate and shouted excitedly.
"yes, we're here."
Fan Lei's heart is a little complicated, he has been to this city more than once before, but the mood of coming back this time is different from the past, the mood in the past was uneasy, and now he is a little excited in his heart, and he is still sandwiched with all other emotions.
Hui Niang turned her head, glanced at Fan Lei, and asked with concern: "Fourth brother?" What happened to you? Are you alright? I see you've been a little upset all day. ”
Out of politeness, Hui Niang still asked with concern, and Miao Miao also glanced at Fan Lei.
Fan Lei shook his head again and again, "Third sister-in-law, I'm fine." ”
"It's okay." Only then did the mother and daughter withdraw their gaze.
After entering the city, Hui Niang proposed to go to the largest and most upscale pastry shop in the city first, and then go to the restaurant to ask, these two places should have some harvest.
Fan Ming and Fan Lei naturally have no opinions, they all listen to Hui Niang, Miao Miao is still young and has no right to speak, so they naturally listen to a few adults.
First go and put the ox cart in a special place to park the ox cart, there are people who specialize in watching the cattle, as long as they pay five cents, they can stop for the whole day, and there is a special place for the cattle to graze.
After parking the ox cart, Hui Niang and her party went to the most upscale and famous pastry shop in the city, called Zhenbao Zhai.
After Hui Niang and the others arrived, they watched for a while not far from the door of Zhenbao Zhai, trying to find a chance to go in.
Fan Lei looked at the guests coming and going in the treasure house, and said with some stage fright: "Third sister-in-law, do we really want to go here?" I don't think any of the people in there are easy to get along with, or let's change places, in case we get kicked out, it's not good. ”
Fan Lei looked at the dignitaries and nobles wearing silk and satin, and felt that something was wrong.
Hui Niang glared at him, and said a little angrily: "Fourth brother, we haven't gone yet." If you say discouragement, you will really grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige. ”
Fan Lei wanted to say more, but was stopped by Fan Ming, "Fourth brother, you don't say a few words, your third sister-in-law has her own opinions." ”
"Listen, that's what to say, before we go in, you're stage frightened. It's a man who has to understand that when he should be open-minded, he must be open-minded, and face can be worth a few dollars. Can you earn money to support your family? ”
Hui Niang wants to talk to Fan Lei about nagging and teaching, they are all people who are about to get married, and it is not good to be so daring.
Fan Lei's face was flushed by what Hui Niang said, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak again.
really responded to what Fan Lei said, and Hui Niang just went in. Before he could open his mouth to find their shopkeeper, he was kicked out by the little guy who was entertained inside, and the little guy said with a disgusted face: "Let's go, let's go, we are all entertaining dignitaries here, but it's not a place for ordinary people like you to come." Don't stain the eyes of those nobles. People like you, if you want to go, go to Baoyuezhai, that kind of place. That's what you should go, see it, it's diagonally opposite our treasure house. ”
The tone was full of mockery.
Hui Niang was angry with this, and glared at the little guy several times.
Ordinary people are not human beings, what kind of attitude. Hui Niang scolded in her heart.
The little guy was looked at by Hui Niang's sharp eyes. His heart trembled, and his face became even more disgusted, and he said loudly: "What about you." Get out of here, don't stare around here. ”
Everyone else in the store looked at Hui Niang and Fan Ming as if they were laughing.
The little guy said as he pushed Hui Niang to the door, but he didn't want to be dragged by Fan Ming, "What do you say, if you have the ability to say it again, be careful that I hit you all over the ground looking for teeth." ”
The little guy threatened in fear: "What do you want to do?" I can tell you, if you dare to do it to me, I will put you in jail tomorrow, do you believe it or not? ”
"The dog fights the human power, what is the smugness, I bah." Hui Niang scolded the little guy and said to Fan Ming: "Ah Ming, let it go, people like this, what do you have to do with him, don't get into trouble." ”
"Daughter-in-law, if he dares to push you, I will be unkind to him." Fan Ming said solemnly.
In front of him, he dared to bully his daughter-in-law, this person is old.
Hui Niang rolled her eyes speechlessly, she had never seen such a dead-eyed person, she said a few words in Fan Ming's ear, Fan Ming understood, and then let go of the little guy.
The little guy didn't expect it, and fell to the ground violently, and the people present burst into laughter.
When did the little girl suffer such a grievance, she got up and said to Hui Niang and his wife: "You wait for me, I won't call someone to clean you up, I won't believe it." ”
Hui Niang said with a look of disdain: "Put away your teeth and claws, you don't let me in, don't think that I will beg you, when the time comes, there will be a time when you will regret it."
Who wouldn't be able to make a big fuss?
"Will we regret it?" It's as if he's heard some terrible joke.
said to Hui Niang: "If you have the ability, you say it again." ”
"How old are you, why do you ask me to say it, I just say, you really take yourself seriously?"
Hui Niang didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and pulled Fan Ming away angrily.
When they got outside, they saw Fan Lei and Miao Miao waiting for the two of them there.
Fan Lei saw it and said, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, how is it?" You can't really be kicked out, are you? ”
Is it really what I said?
Hui Niang was still angry at this time, and glanced at Fan Lei without saying a word, Fan Lei's crow mouth.
Fan Ming motioned for Fan Lei not to be silent.
Miao Miao looked at Hui Niang and his wife in disbelief, and asked Fan Ming, "Dad?" ”
Fan Ming shook his head at her.
After a while, Hui Niang's anger disappeared a little, and Fan Ming asked, "What should we do now?" Do you really want to go to the place that the guy said? ”
