Li Hua'er really made the chessboard that night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I lit the lights all night and stayed up all night.

When Li Guo'er woke up the next morning, she saw Li Hua'er lying on the edge of the couch, draped in clothes, and a finished chessboard next to her.

Li Guo'er looked at it, her heart was sour, and she quietly got off the bed.

How do you know that Li Hua'er was tired all night and sleepy, but she slept lighter than usual, and suddenly opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Awake?" ”

Li Guo'er hurriedly said: "Sister, let's sleep for a while, if you are not busy today, you can send it tomorrow." ”

Li Hua'er rubbed her eyes and said with a smile: "I have to go today." ”

"No, no." Li Guoer insisted.

Li Hua'er pulled Li Guo'er, looked at the clouds in the sky outside, and said, "Guo'er didn't see that cloud?" ”

Li Guo'er raised her head and looked at the clouds coming from the other side of the Qingshui River from a distance.

Li Hua'er said with a smile: "I see that the cloud is sending rain, or tonight, or tomorrow morning, it will go down, so Ming'er is not allowed to enter the city, and it will be delayed." ”

Li Guo'er frowned and looked at it for a long time, and said, "My sister lied to me, right?" Just look at the clouds and tell it's going to rain? ”

Li Hua'er tapped the corner of her forehead: "If you want to laugh at you, you go and ask the good hands in our village, such as Brother Daxian, if you can see Yun Zhiyu." ”

Li Guo'er heard Li Hua'er say firmly, so she had to say, "But my sister didn't sleep all night." ”

Li Hua'er smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'll just send a chessboard and inquire about the price of rice." There are also winter clothes, firewood, and paper for pasting windows, which must be prepared now. ”

Li Guoer pouted: "It's all money ...... listening"

Li Hua'er smiled: "Yes...... But when the spring starts next year, we bought the land and planted it ourselves. ”

Li Guo'er nodded and said, "Then sister will rest for a while, I'll go make breakfast." ”

After a while, after the two sisters finished eating, Li Huaer wrapped the chessboard, locked the door, and let Li Guoer go to the Sun family next door, and asked the Sun family to take care of one or two, and then went to the county by herself.

……

According to the guards at the city gate, the Weng County Order is still in the state capital and has not returned.

Now that the big man has come, and the grain for the autumn harvest has also been obtained, how many people from the villages and townships under Qingyuan County have pushed the cart, transported the grain to the county, sold the grain, took the silver, and then went to the county government to pay the taxes.

So the county looked at it, it was much more lively than before, and when Li Hua'er arrived at the north and south groceries, she saw that there was already a long queue in front of the grain number separated from the grocery store by two doors.

The long-term and short-term laborers, the big and small men, and the shopkeeper of the grain number, were all in the room, and there were many errand servants beside them, maintaining order.

Grain is the foundation of the country, within the county and township, only at this time of year, it is the most lively.

Li Hua'er wanted to go and see the price of grain on the sign in front of her, but there were too many people, so she had to bypass the crowd first and come to the grocery stores in the north and south.

Who wanted to just bypass the crowd, and saw the shopkeeper Ke sitting at the door of the store, looking at the grain number, while making calculations, his face was shrewd.

Li Hua'er was amused by him, and walked over and said, "Uncle Ke Kangtai." ”

When the shopkeeper saw her coming, he hurriedly took a pen and wrote something on the paper, then put down the abacus and said with a smile: "Miss Li is here?" ”

Li Hua'er looked at the abacus and account paper, and smiled: "The shopkeeper is so interested, he has calculated the accounts for other people's families." ”

A sly smile appeared on the face of the shopkeeper Ke.

"I also have some land in my house, so I have to know the price so that I can send it to the grain number."

Li Hua'er smiled: "Everyone wants to send the grain number earlier, the more they get, the shopkeeper and the grain number are neighbors' business, why don't you send it earlier and take the lead?" ”

The shopkeeper Ke smiled, and his round face was full of self-satisfaction: "It is the neighbor's business that is good for the price, and it is good to ask for the price if you know whether people are making or losing." After all, my family's food is first-class rice. ”

Li Hua'er knew that these businessmen had a lot of calculations in their hearts, and she didn't think it was strange, but when she heard him say this, she remembered her own thoughts again, so she asked: "Speaking of this, I have something to ask my uncle." ”

Ke's shopkeeper said, "What's the matter?" You said. ”

Li Hua'er said with a smile: "My sister and I have no land to live now, and we want to buy land, but we can't find good land, so I want to ask the shopkeeper if anyone knows anyone near our village who wants to sell land?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he glanced at Li Hua'er up and down, and shook his head: "You girl, other things are transparent, why did you get to this matter, but you are so ignorant?" Now that it's a good year, it's peaceful here, everyone is living on the ground, who is willing to sell? Even if it is sold, the first-class fertile land, twenty or thirty taels and one mu are cheap, and the second-class and third-class fertile land will cost more than a dozen taels. And you two girls who are not married, and there are still clansmen, you have bought land, and it may not be able to be registered in your name. ”

Li Hua'er was silent.

Shopkeeper Ke sighed, he was deaf and clear-sighted, and naturally knew a lot about Li Huaer's family.

I only heard him continue: "The eldest niece and nephew don't think my words are discouraged, even if they are recorded in your name, you have not yet become a man, and you don't need to pay grain, but how many fields can you pick up a day?" And how much money do you have to hire someone? Besides, Qinghe Village is one of the wealthier villages we have here, who doesn't have land? Who can help people in the spring and autumn harvests? Even if there is, several rich families in your village have also been recruited, and the rest is still for you? ”

Li Hua'er listened to what Shopkeeper Ke said, and she couldn't help but be even more discouraged.

The truth is this, but Li Huaer ...... I'm so unwilling!

"I also know it's not easy, but now it's not easy to make a living by making these things. Even the Yue family in Xia Village and the Zheng family in our village have a few acres of thin fields at home. Li Hua'er sighed.

The shopkeeper Ke also knew the difficulties of the Li sisters, so he had to comfort: "You have craftsmanship, which is better than the family who can only live by sewing clothes...... As for buying grain, you don't have to worry, since I and Shopkeeper Zhao are neighbors, I naturally want to help you. I'll also inquire about buying land for you, and I'll talk about it once I really meet the right one. ”

When Li Hua'er heard this, she immediately nodded and smiled: "Okay, thank you Ke shopkeeper." ”

After that, she took down the burden she was carrying and put it in front of the shopkeeper Ke: "The chessboard I said before was a little delayed because I was busy, so I didn't miss the day that the guests wanted, so let's take a look at the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper took the chessboard, looked at it carefully, nodded and praised: "I only saw the craftsmanship of this side when I was in Yangzhou, you can?" ”

Li Hua'er smiled and didn't answer, but pressed it to the bottom of the chessboard, and a hidden box popped up on one side of the chessboard.

"This place is just for fun, and when the time comes, put a notebook and hide money or something, it's fine." Li Hua'er said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
