Tang Qing'er took out the bamboo basket from the ox cart, and there were a few white porcelain bottles and some brand-new white dishes in the basket, these porcelains were very new, but they were all flawed under a closer look, and they should have accidentally burned a few small cracks when they came out of the kiln.

Tang Qing'er thought about how to cover up these flaws, the furniture was very easy to repair, the old ones were painted with some paint, and the bad places were re-inlayed.

There are still three days before the town market, these three days Tang Tiezhu got up early and went to the dark to be busy repairing furniture, while Tang Qing'er was studying how to decorate the flawed ceramics into finished products, and finally made her think of a trick, that is, when the ceramics were just out of the kiln, the oil paint used for embellishment, but how could this thing be obtained.

Unconsciously thought of Xue Qianxun in his mind, he should know some people who fired the kiln, it is better to ask him to help get some oil paint, she is using oil paint to cover up the flaws, so that the people who buy it can't see any flaws on the ceramics at all.

Finally, three days later, Tang Tiezhu's family made all the old furniture and ceramic dishes look new and took them to the town to sell, but this time it was Li and Tang Liang who accompanied him to sell things, Tang Yang was reading at home, and Feng Xiao was preparing for the children's test, and Tang Qinger and her two younger sisters were cleaning up the house at home.

People come and go in the bazaar, so it is not lively, Tang Tiezhu let Tang Liang stand in a good place early, and after a while he pulled an ox cart full of things to find him, perhaps because he had the experience of selling shoes before, he put the goods out one by one to sell, and after a while, many people gathered around, this said: "The cabinet of this house is really good, just looking at it has taste." ”

The one said: "Yes, it looks like a cabinet made of mahogany, my house happens to be broken, this one looks good, ask how much, if the price is okay, I will buy it home." A group of mothers-in-law surrounded the stall and picked up the goods with all hands and feet.

Tang Tiezhu saw so many people surrounding his own things, Mu Ne didn't know what to say, at this moment, someone saw the wooden stool on the place, came to ask the price, he scratched his scalp and asked Tang Liang: "Liang'er, how much is a wooden stool?" ”

Tang Liang was busy collecting money and looking for money, and when he heard the words, he turned around and said, "The small stool is 320 wen a piece, and the big rattan chair is 500 wen a piece." ”

Among them, an old man squeezed in and asked, "These bowls are very beautiful, what a little more, little brother." ”

Tang Liang looked at the porcelain bowl that had been repaired by the eldest sister and said, "A bowl costs 100 yuan, all of which have just come out of the kiln, and the color has just been raised." ”

"Oh, it's really good, I want these bowls, you help me put them up,"

"Okay, you wait a minute," this is the money Tang Liang earned from participating in the buying and selling room for the first time.

People passed by wave by wave, the goods decreased little by little, at noon, the people around the people who sold goods at the same time went to rest and eat, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street, Tang Tiezhu They could finally stop and take a breath, and the things they brought were left with some chairs and two tables that were not sold, and the rest was snatched up by everyone, counting the silver earned, this morning it was sold for five taels of silver, so a total, it was a good deal to collect old furniture.

Li Shi took the money from the head of the family and his son, and the smile on his face had never been heard, and he said with a smile: "Qing'er's idea is really good, she has earned so much money in just one morning." "Don't talk about scratching the book, I also earned an extra four taels of silver, how to make them unhappy.

When they arrived home, Tang Qing'er was already looking forward to it at home, and when she saw that the ox cart was full of things when she went out in the morning, and there were a few leftovers when she came back at noon, she couldn't close her mouth with joy.

Since then, Tang Tiezhu has led the ox cart to collect old furniture and other things in the town every day, if the three Tang Yang brothers are not busy with their homework, they will follow his father to go together, and Tang Qinger will use oil paint at home to decorate the ceramic dishes his father received, so the Tang family began to collect tatters in the town, out of the control of the main house, and Tang Tiezhu's family had a good time in the town.

Xue Qianxun saw that Tang Qing'er was so busy, and he didn't come to disturb her often, sometimes Tang Qing'er would wonder why this guy didn't come home often.

Since Xue Ning knew that he was going to marry Xu Detian, he began to toss at home, and from time to time he had a fight with Aunt Guo, otherwise he would be tired of life and wanted to find a short time, Xue Qianxun heard the news from Sanshun, his face turned cold, and he was noncommittal.

Aunt Guo didn't dare to tell the master about her daughter's crush on her eldest brother, and saw Ning'er crying all day long, so she said to the intimate servants beside her: "Find a few people to come over, watch the eldest lady all day long, and don't let the eldest lady leave the house half a step." The crowd replied in a reluctant manner.

Xue Ning knew that Aunt Lu wanted to trap her in, and began to drop things in the house, and the maids who were close to her were injured by her, Aunt Guo had no choice, she went to her yard with her stomach, and said hatefully: "What are you doing?" ”

"Auntie, didn't I say I didn't want to marry Xu Detian? I want to marry my cousin. Xue Ning threw the teacup and shouted loudly.

Aunt Guo sat on the stool and said slowly: "Aunt knows your thoughts, but your marriage is already a certainty, and no one can change it,"

Xue Ning said: "Why, the eldest brother married the village girl from Tangjia Village, grandma and father agreed, why did they want me to marry someone I don't like." ”

"Have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if you continue to make trouble like this, and the old man or the old lady will know," Aunt Guo has never been afraid of the Shen family in her life, but the old lady of the Xue Mansion.

The excited Xue Ning pulled Aunt Guo's arm and said, "Auntie, do you say there is any way to make the Xu family quit." ”

Aunt Guo saw that her daughter was still stubborn and said, "Even if the Xu family withdraws, it is impossible for me to promise you to Xiang Rong,"

"For what!" Xue Ning raised his head and looked at his aunt confidently.

Aunt Guo said: "Although Xiang Rong is my nephew, my mother doesn't want you to marry and endure hardships, you are used to the life of the eldest lady of Xue Mansion to stretch out her hands to eat, if you marry into your uncle's family, when the time comes, how can your mother feel at ease." ”

Xue Ning said: "Mother, if I marry my cousin, my father loves me so much, and when I get married, he will definitely give me a lot of things to dowry, so you don't have to worry about me living a hard life at my uncle's house." ”

"My son, why do you think it's so simple, do you think you are the eldest lady of the Xue Mansion? Can the master prepare so many dowries for you? Even if the old man is willing, is the old lady willing? Madame Ken? If this is a male baby in the aunt's belly, you marry into another family, you will suffer losses in the future, the aunt is not worried, after all, there will be a younger brother to support you in the future, if it is a female baby, then how to fix it, the aunt is old, can the lord always like the aunt? If you don't have a good time with your mother-in-law in the future, who can stand up for you, have you thought about it? Aunt Guo said bitterly to Xue Ning.

"Auntie, I know all this, but I can't accept letting me marry someone I don't like," Xue Ning still insisted on going his own way.

Aunt Guo sneered twice and said, "You know, what do you know?" Aunt is so committed to ask for all for you, why don't you know Aunt Lu's painstaking efforts, what do you say I arranged for your cousin to go to the eldest young master's restaurant, you said what I have groveled to the eldest young master all these years, you said that I am pregnant for Lu and have been holding on to the master, all for you,"

Xue Ning shook his head, tears falling down his eyes.

Aunt Guo took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her: "Aunt is afraid that you will suffer at your mother-in-law's house in the future, if the eldest young master can help you for the sake of me groveling for so many years, now that your marriage has been decided, the Xu family is also a big family in the town, you can enjoy a lifetime of prosperity and stability when you marry, okay, don't cry, my aunt will make everything clear to you, if you still insist on going your own way, my aunt can only let people keep looking at you like this." ”

After a while, Xue Ning held back her tears and said, "Auntie, I figured it out, I'll marry!" ”

Aunt Guo saw that her daughter had figured it out, and was helped up by Xiao Ju behind her and said, "I figured it out, my aunt won't hurt you, so you can wait to be a bride with peace of mind!" ”

Xue Ning took her aunt's hand and said, "Auntie, I'll start embroidering the wedding dress tomorrow,"

"Okay, this is my good daughter," Aunt Guo saw that Xue Ning was persuaded by her, and held Xiao Ju's hand to go back to her house.

Xue Ning said in the back: "Auntie, since I have already thought about it, can you let the people who are watching me leave, they have been watching me for the past few days, and I can't sleep well at night." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Guo stopped, glanced back at Xue Ning, and saw that her eyes were firm and did not dodge at all, so she said to the maid in the house: "You all go down, what to say and what not to say, know what to say!" If I hear any gossip, I will sell you all. ”

A few maids hurriedly knelt down and said, "The little ones don't dare," Aunt Guo waved her hand, and they left one by one.

Xue Ning saw her aunt leave, and took Ling'er who served her away, under the pretext that she was a little hungry, and asked her to go to the kitchen to get her some pastries, while she quickly took out a piece of cloth from the wardrobe, loaded some clothes, and put the jewelry in the jewelry box and the silver money she had saved over the years into the package, and put it under the bed while people were not paying attention.

When Ling'er brought the pastry from the kitchen, she took a few bites and said, "Today's steamed chestnut cake with osmanthus sugar is much better than the last time the village girl of the Tang family came to the house. ”

Ling'er didn't dare to answer, and kept looking down at the white floral cloth shoes under her feet.

Xue Ning took a few bites and said, "Take the rest back and keep it for the night!" I don't need you to serve me today, I'll clean up and go to bed later. ”

"Miss...... Still is...... Slaves and maidservants come to serve you and go to bed! Ling'er was always a little unstable in her heart, and couldn't help but answer.

Xue Ning said with a calm face: "What I say is what it is, why don't you even listen to me,"

Ling'er hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, the slave and maid will go out." ”

Xue Ning saw Ling'er go out, and after half a quarter of an hour, she put out the oil lamp in the house, and Ling'er, who was standing outside the window, saw that the light in the young lady's room was out, and guessed that she was tired of tossing in the past few days, so she rested early and went to sleep, and she took the pastries in her hand back to her house.

Xue Ning looked through the window and saw Ling'er leaving with her things, so she took out the packed package from under the bed, and then took advantage of no one's idea, quietly opened the door, and sneaked out of the back door.
