108. Big deals

Speaking of this coachman, I have to say that Lu Gongjin has a bit of an eye for people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this coachman is a slave born in the Lu family. Naturally, he is also surnamed Lu, and he is called Lu Datou when he gives him a name. It is said that it was because of the large head and small body when I was a child that I got this name. It turned out to be a handyman in the Lu family's stable. is an honest person, and he is still a single person in his thirties.

The Lu family is a clear family, and the etiquette is the court. Who knew that Lu Xiaoxiao's bad things happened. Although the emperor later named Lu Xiaoxiao the county lord, the prince also invited Wu Moming's biological father Zhai Zhihuan to help Chang Jiwen fight the lawsuit. However, it is difficult for the Lu family's court to tolerate Lu Xiaoxiao's existence.

The attitude of the Lu family is obvious, and letting Lu Xiaoxiao follow Chang Jiwen back to Shaxi County is to let her fend for herself.

The master's family already has this attitude, and he has changed to a slick minion and has already found another way. It is rare that Lu Datou is still loyal to his own young lady and will never give up.

There was nothing to do along the way, so Cheng Linghui gossiped with Lu Datou.

When I arrived at Kaizhou Mansion, I found Chu Fengsheng's grain store. Unfortunately, Chu Fengsheng went out. The girl Tonghua, who had long hands and feet, welcomed Cheng Linghui and the others to the backyard to rest.

The fallen flowers in the yard have been cleaned. Cheng Linghui sat at the stone table, and Lu Datou stood behind her in a regular manner. At first glance, it looks like a follower minion. In this regard, Cheng Linghui is also helpless. This Lu Datou is good at everything else, but he is brainless and takes the rules very seriously.

The host is not there, and the paulownia girl is not good at leaving the guests alone in the yard. Just stand aside, and the right is used as a companion.

Cheng Linghui is an idle person. She sits bored and thinks wildly. Look at the tung flower, and look at Lu Datou. Suddenly it felt like it might be good to pair them up.

Tonghua's girl looks about twenty years old. It's not pretty, but you can see it. The one with long hands and big feet looks like a good hand at work. It's just too thin, I'm afraid it's not good to give birth.

Countrymen measure whether a girl is good or not, that is, whether she can work or not, whether she is good at giving birth. Looks are all secondary.

Just thinking about it, Chu Fengsheng came back. This time she didn't have a sticky beard, and she didn't wear men's clothes. Her black hair was combed into two large braids and hung down on her chest. Wearing a goose yellow dress. Although the expression is still cold, it looks like a lot more lively as a girl.

"Third sister." Chu Fengsheng already knew that Cheng Linghui was coming, but Cheng Linghui didn't expect that such a cold girl would also be a self-acquaintance.

Chu Fengsheng took the handkerchief from Tonghua and wiped his hands and face. Sitting opposite Cheng Linghui, he asked, "What were you thinking just now?" ”

Cheng Linghui smiled: "Nothing? "She can't say that she is calculating other girls, after all, the two have just met, and they are not familiar with each other.

Chu Fengsheng saw the dim sum wrapped in oiled paper on the table at a glance and asked, "What is this?" Reaching out to open it, he cheered, "Dim Sum." "The face is full of joy that a girl should have. Stretching out his little white hand, he pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Half-squinted, like a cat in the winter sun.

Cheng Linghui couldn't help but reached out and rubbed her hair: "I see if you like it, I brought you some by the way." ”

Chu Fengsheng swallowed the dim sum in his mouth and asked, "Where did you buy your dim sum, why have I never bought it?" ”

Cheng Linghui smiled: "It's strange if you can buy it." "What do you say?

Although this snack is an inconspicuous thing, it is not easy to make it well. Especially Cheng Linghui's dim sum, even the county officials and prefects may not be able to catch them. This was done by the two girls brought by Lu Xiaoxiao.

Don't look at those two girls who are silent on weekdays, the origin is not simple. It was rewarded by the palace. Huan'er makes a good snack, and Zhu'er makes a good needlework. The utensils used to make dim sum alone are in a big box, not to mention the ingredients and processes. Cheng Linghui only glanced at it and was troublesome. That's one of the reasons she doesn't like these treats.

Chu Fengsheng didn't know this, and asked, "Why?" ”

Although Lu Xiaoxiao was named the county lord, her experience couldn't help but be asked by others, so Cheng Linghui skipped it and said: "It was made by the girl in my family." ”

Chu Fengsheng praised: "Good girl, such a good workmanship." It's a waste to be a girl with you. Sell her to me. The little girl's eyes sparkled, and Cheng Linghui was uncomfortable when she saw it.

"What nonsense are you talking about. Although Zhu'er is a girl, she is also my relative. Would you sell your loved ones? ”

Chu Fengsheng said: "Then I'll exchange it for you." "Actually, Chu Fengsheng's idea is not wrong. In ancient times, the girls and servants of those big families were similar to cattle, and they could be bought and sold at will.

However, Cheng Linghui couldn't accept it.

She is a small person who grew up in the countryside. The people who come into contact with them are the people at the bottom. She has her father and fellow villagers in her heart. It doesn't matter if you're working long hours or working part-time jobs. It doesn't matter if your girl is going to be a girl for someone else, or a nurse. In her heart, they are all the same people, there is no distinction between high and low.

From the age of nine, for the first time I learned that people can be sold. Her greatest wish is to do her best to take care of her family and not let them sell themselves one day because of the pressure of life. For this reason, she did not hesitate to take risks to sell smuggled salt. How could she sell someone in it?

Cheng Linghui shook her head: "No." ”

Chu Fengsheng thought for a while: "Then how can you give that girl to me?" ”

Cheng Linghui saw that she didn't give up, and her mind changed, and she pointed at Tonghua: "Why don't you sell your girl to me first?" ”

Chu Fengsheng shouted, "How can that be done?" Tung blossom took care of me since I was a child. Same as my sister. ”

Cheng Linghui looked at her with a smile. Only then did Chu Fengsheng realize that he was wrong. Some of them said, "Don't think about it, I just like this snack too much." ”

Cheng Linghui said: "Then you can go to my house when you are free, and I will let Zhu'er make more for you." ”

Chu Fengsheng shook his head, a little disappointed: "Forget it, Chengjiazhuang is so far away." Wrap up the remaining snacks on the table and hand them to Tonghua: "Help me put them away, I'll eat slowly later." ”

Cheng Linghui looked at her little daughter's appearance and could only shake her head secretly.

Chu Fengsheng turned his face and returned to his cold appearance. It's really faster to change your face than to turn a book. She looked at Cheng Linghui seriously: "After talking about private matters, let's talk about business." For the sake of you're already a regular customer, I won't ask you much for the price. It's still a bucket. How much do you want? ”

Cheng Linghui said: "First ask for fifty stones." ”

Fifty stone sounds like a lot. But if it's five dollars and one bucket, ten buckets and one stone. One tael of silver is conservatively calculated, and it can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins. A tael of silver can buy twenty stones. Therefore, fifty stone is only two and a half dollars of silver.

You say, "Why is it that the grain of any dynasty and generation is not worth much?" Why can't the strange circle of grain cheapness hurting farmers be broken?

Gossip aside. Cheng Linghui gave Chu Fengsheng more than enough silver at the beginning. After calculating the account this time, Chu Fengsheng still has to find money for her.

After settling the money on both sides, Cheng Linghui asked Lu Datou to follow Chu Fengsheng's men to load the car. When they came, they deliberately drove two large carriages. Fill some up and pull it away almost all at once.

She prepared to go out on the street and buy some groceries for her family. Chu Fengsheng suddenly said, "Stay." ”

As soon as Cheng Linghui heard her businesslike tone, she knew that she had something serious to say.

Chu Fengsheng didn't seem to have thought about it yet. After a long time, he lowered his voice and said, "Third sister, how about we make a big deal together?" ”

Cheng Linghui's heart moved, but when she thought about it, there were so many people in her family and her children were small, so she really couldn't leave. Chu Fengsheng is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, how do you look like a person who does big business. Asked: "Isn't the money you earn enough to spend?" ”

Chu Fengsheng's eyes shone again: "Who still thinks that money bites more hands?" ”

Cheng Linghui can understand that this girl is a money essence, blind to her little appearance that does not eat fireworks in the world. Shaking his head, he said, "A little girl's family, what do you want so much money for?" Run your shop well, and find a capable son-in-law in the future is serious. Don't think about it. ”

Chu Fengsheng was not convinced: "It's okay for others to say that, why do you say that?" Aren't you also a woman? What's wrong with the woman? ”

Cheng Linghui was stunned, she really hadn't thought about this problem. She was passively raised as a boy, and her personality was formed unconsciously. Most of the time, she is looking at the world from a more grandfather-like or father-like perspective. And use this to ask the people around you.

Chu Fengsheng saw that Cheng Linghui was stopped by himself, and asked hopefully, "Do you want to do it?" ”

Cheng Linghui was originally a little tempted. Ask people in the world, who can resist the temptation of money. She thought for a moment and said, "What kind of deal are you talking about?" ”

Chu Fengsheng leaned into her ear and whispered.

Cheng Linghui said: "Are you going to hoard Juqi? ”

Chu Fengsheng asked rhetorically: "Why not?" ”

Cheng Linghui hesitated: "This matter is a bit unauthentic. ”

Chu Fengsheng said: "Just allow those black-hearted people to make money, let's watch from the side?" ”

Cheng Linghui shook her head: "I won't do this." ”

Chu Fengsheng looked at her attitude and was a little anxious: "Why are you so dead-eyed?" When the time comes, we will have food in our hands, and we will not have the final say on how to sell it? Isn't it better than watching those black-hearted people hold their breath? ”

Guess what this girl has in mind?

It turned out that she saw that this year's drought in Nanzhili was a foregone conclusion. I thought about going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to sell grain and come back to sell. Now, the price of grain in Kaizhou has doubled compared to normal days, and it is similar to other places without inquiring.

At that time, the biggest constraint on people's livelihood was transportation. The price of grain has risen here, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang may not know the news. If this deal is done, it will not make a lot of money. But there are also a lot of risks. First of all, Chu Fengsheng is a little woman. Running thousands of miles between Zhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, safety is a problem. So, she was looking for a partner. looked around, and met Cheng Linghui.

Cheng Linghui is capable of writing and martial arts, and he has his father and fellow villagers in his heart, and he is benevolent and righteous at first glance. The fly in the ointment is that she is also a woman. But at the same time, the two of them also have a lot less unnecessary troubles.

Chu Fengsheng's capital has already been prepared, and the route to and from has been planned. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. At present, some of the big grain merchants around Kaizhou Mansion have heard the news. If it's too late, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold. Not to mention eating meat, you can't get soup. How can she not be in a hurry, you say?

Cheng Linghui was right when he thought about Chu Fengsheng's words. She's a do-it-all person. Tell Chu Fengsheng about the departure time, and go back with Lu Datou with food.

She has also done business and knows the truth that shopping malls are like battlefields. A little slackness will miss the business opportunity. When the time comes, it's good not to make money, and if you don't make it, you will lose all your money.

She is used to being the master of the house, and she has no consciousness to discuss with Chang Jiwen.

When I got home, I started to prepare for going out. Put the building of the house back and talk about it when you come back.

This time it was a big deal, and Cheng Linghui went out to bring a helper. Hua Ruyan's spirit is still not good, and the only people who can go out at home are He Kun and Lu Datou.

Leaving the home to Zhu'er and Huan'er, Cheng Linghui is really not at ease. When she set off, she deliberately turned to her second sister's house and asked her to go back and walk around more.

Cheng Linghui is also young and doesn't think about things comprehensively. I could think of finding the second sister to help take care of the house, but I didn't expect to talk to Chang Jiwen. It would be strange if Chang Jiwen wasn't angry.

Cheng Linghui took He Kun and Lu Datou, traveled lightly, and joined Chu Fengsheng.

Chu Fengsheng pretended to be a young man and took the two guys. Waiting at the intersection for a long time. Seeing Cheng Linghui coming from afar, he turned his horse's head and walked south. They were going to a certain south, down the Luo River, and by water to the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Cheng Linghui patted the horse to follow. In the night before the morning dawn, six fast horses converged into a line. (To be continued.) )
