Chapter 13: Mind
Although it is impossible for those pedestrians on the boat to know that on the other side of the river just now, Hongchen pointed out the matter of the rich merchants, but at that time there were not a few people on the dock, boatmen, laborers, small merchants and hawkers, and this matter was somewhat legendary.
Nowadays, there are no entertainment programs, which means that gossip is the most beneficial to physical and mental health, and after a while, everyone present knew that there was such a thing.
Now seeing that the other party is so respectful and grateful, I think the little girl is right, many people regret it a little, they should ask others to calculate a hexagram, the opportunity is rare!
At this time, the little girl had already boarded the boat, and there was a group of housekeepers talking around, and they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to get over.
The steward stuffed Hongchen with a big, very generous red envelope, which I think can satisfy anyone.
He will also come to trouble, and he didn't say anything about sending people home in person, but only paid the fare of the boat, and wrapped it in its entirety, and ordered his subordinates to clean the inside and outside of the cabin, and then help Hongchen put the goods in order.
Anyway, there are not many nearby villages, and even fewer girls of the same age as the little girl, if you want to ask, there is no reason not to ask.
Hongchen naturally will not be pretentious.
At times like these, it's not appropriate to show that you want nothing.
Sit down and let the waves ripple.
Back to his thatched house, Hongchen first went to find Uncle Wang's two sons, Wang Shugui and Wang Shumin to help, unloaded the grain on the car and threw it into the rice jar.
Wang Shugui and Wang Shumin are all the kind of men who are honest and don't even want to say a few words, seeing that Hongchen actually has so much grain in the warehouse in a blink of an eye, no matter how she came from, she is very curious at most.
Hongchen took the initiative to explain: "Yesterday I went to the back mountain and dug up two orchids, our scholars here in Qixian County have always been elegant, especially Xilan, I thought about taking it to the market to try my luck, but I didn't think it would sell a hundred taels of silver at once!" ”
"Ahh
Wang Shugui and the two were so frightened that they almost didn't jump up, looked left and right, and saw that no one was relieved, so he immediately exclaimed: "Nothing happened when you came back, right?" ”
They are not worried about the little girl having problems in the village, if you want to say that Jiangjiazhuang does not have a black sheep, then it will not be, but, because most of them are surnamed Jiang, their ancestors are even relatives, and now there are many relatives and relatives, and the wind and rain have been smooth in recent years, everyone is still living a good life, if you want to say that you are jealous of Hongchen and get money, then there may be, but there are no people who dare to make trouble.
But this girl came back from the bazaar alone, with a huge amount of money, in case something happened, how could she get it!
Hongchen shook his head: "Don't worry, Uncle Gui, I know, I came back and went around several times." ”
The two of them calmed down a little, thought for a while, and said, "The second girl is also a bit of an industry now, so it's better to dig a cellar for you and save some food." ”
The villagers in the village are storing grain in the cellar.
"It's convenient to dig one, you have a girl by yourself, it's better to have two more dogs."
Hongchen responded, it is indeed necessary.
It's a pity, her rhubarb is her father's heart, even if Jiang Zhuang is willing to give it to her, she doesn't want to want it, so as to save rhubarb from being sad.
It was too late today to break ground, and the next morning, two men came with shovels.
They were so skilled at this work that they did it without any effort, and in a short time they dug a big hole in the ground.
Seeing that people were digging hard, Hongchen hurriedly went to the kitchen to toss a big pot of bone noodle soup, and baked two flatbreads, thick, coated with oil residue, golden brown, and cut a lot of minced meat in it.
Layer by layer, layer upon layer, full of aroma.
"Two uncles, take a break, eat something and dig again."
The two brothers of the Wang family washed their hands and faces in the hot water prepared by Hongchen, and when they took a bite of the meatloaf, their stomachs gurgled, and the two of them suddenly blushed, and they were also happy to see Hongchen busy scooping a big bowl of noodle soup for them.
Although when I helped, I definitely didn't think about taking advantage, but the little girl was so considerate and enthusiastic, which showed that people remembered the favor, and they didn't make any efforts in vain.
After eating enough and having more strength, the two brothers worked hard and soon dug a sturdy cellar for Hongchen.
Hongchen has only one person, no matter how you look at it, it is enough.
When the two of them returned home after they were busy, she first took some rice and noodles, sent them to Jiang's house, and gave Jiang Zhuang fifty taels of silver.
Jiang Zhuang's eyes showed a hint of regret: "Keep the money after you make it...... Three years later, it will be useful. ”
He obviously still cares about Hongchen very much, and Hongchen made a hundred taels by buying orchids, and he knew it as soon as it spread.
Hongchen smiled: "After all, it's the first money I earned, and I still want to give it to ...... You, you're going to make some good tools, and you've been using them for 20 years. ”
Jiang Zhuang almost burst into tears.
Her daughter never called him dad again!
He is taking care of the whole family, but only such a daughter who is not a daughter can remember that his guys are almost out of use.
Gu Shi is not here, if she is, once she knows that Hongchen has made so much money, it is estimated that there will be trouble, fortunately, she quarreled with Jiang Zhuang and took her son back to her parents' house.
Hongchen is too lazy to pay attention to this person now, he didn't stay in the Jiang family for long, it is one thing to be filial to Jiang Zhuang, and it is not okay to have anything to do with this family.
And this filial piety is not more for others, but for one's own good name.
After leaving the door of Jiang's house, I took some snacks, went around the neighborhood, and gave some small gifts one by one.
It's not worth much, but the heart has arrived.
Two days ago, Gu Shi didn't say anything about Hongchen, when many people saw Gu Shi's sprinkling, they naturally knew who was right and who was wrong here, but after all, Gu raised her, and there must be a foolish person who thinks that there are no parents in the world, no matter how mean Gu is, then she should also be obedient and obedient.
Now Hongchen is so sensible, treat everyone politely, and be polite, in case this kind of neurosis really occurs, there is no need for her to go out, and the people in the village can scold and protect her.
The things that should be done are done, and when I look at the sky, the sun is about to set, Hongchen is so tired that he gasps for a few breaths, takes a deep breath, and suddenly smells a light aroma, which is the smell of grass and trees, the aroma lingers at the tip of the nose, and the fatigue on the body gradually subsides.
She hurriedly took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, tidied up the ground outside the room, leveled it slightly, and planted all those orchid seedlings.
The originally gray and desolate land, although only a little bluegrass has been added, has become a little elegant.
Jasmine rested in front of the window, when it was just put on, it still looked wilting, Hongchen touched the oval little green leaf, and soothed it carefully, the little thing was faintly wrapped around her fingers, as if in response, and after a while, she seemed to be more energetic.
"Huh? This one seems to be a friend of mine! ”
Hongchen was startled, turned his head and stared at the old ginseng that suddenly appeared, suspended on top of the mountain ginseng, stretching his waist and yawning.
"Can you not keep talking out of nowhere?"
She had just secretly transplanted the old ginseng under the wall of her house, and she knew that he was so elusive, so she shouldn't have listened to him, so she had to plant him farther away.
