Chapter 55: Yong'an
Jin Da Niu explained that it was the market day in the nearby village, Su Xiujin had eaten a lot of food these days, there was no lard in the dish, and the taste was not half a star, not to mention the vegetarian cabbage and radish that had been growing all day long, and the group of laborers had eaten so much that the birds had faded out of their mouths, and they all said that if they put some lard in this dish, it didn't matter if they spent a little more money.
Su Xiujin made a meal early this day, and the fourth aunt stayed at home, the soles of her feet had already worn out from walking on the mountain roads in the past few days, Su Xiujin was fortunate to be able to bear it, so she asked her to stay in the house and rest for two days.
Instructed the fourth aunt to tie the doors and windows, Jin Da Niu and Su Xiujin went on the road, this market is not far away, Jin Da Niu told Su Xiujin on the road about Jinjia Village, talking to Su Xiujin is really too comfortable to be comfortable, she can always ask a question at a critical time, or pick up a sentence, neither seems deliberately close nor extraordinarily distant, these days Jin Da Niu's footsteps are like floating, indescribable joy.
In Jin Daniu's mouth, Su Xiujin knows a lot of things, the village chief of Jinjia Village is named Jin Shu, there is a daughter-in-law who loves to dress up very much, more than forty people are also very pretty, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the son is a useless scoundrel, but this daughter has been a beauty since she was a child, and when she grows up, she can't say that she is beautiful and beautiful, Jin Shu stayed until seventeen, and finally married a foreigner in the city to fill the house. The village chief's daughter-in-law showed off everywhere when she was fine, and the women in the village were afraid of her.
Besides, this Jinjia Village, located in a mountain col outside Suzhou City, the terrain is also flat, the whole village people are farming for a living, more than 100 households in the village are all surnamed Jin, it is rare to have a foreign surname, if you settle in this village is not impossible, either marry a person surnamed Jin, or find a way to buy a house and land in Jinjia Village, go to the county household registration office to register. Su Xiujin naturally can only choose the latter method, but this one who buys a house and a land is still too far behind.
The bazaar is divided into days, Jin Da Niu said that the 10th, 20th, and 25th of each month are the bazaars of Ningxi Town, and the traders will bring things to Ningxi Town to sell, this thing is also diverse, eat and play, the good things in the city and the local products in the countryside are all sold, every few days, the people in the village are dragging their families to the market, buy something that can be used.
Jin Da Niu deliberately picked a small road to walk, there are few people on this path, Su Xiujin is still a girl's family, and her reputation still has to be wanted. When he arrived at the entrance of the market, Su Xiujin sighed secretly, there are many small traders, the stalls are tightly placed, some have wooden shelves, and some have canvases directly spread on the ground, which sells snacks, kitchen knives and farm tools, and sells cloth embroidery.
Jin Da Niu shouted Su Xiujin to wait for him in a corner, he put the burden on a familiar boss, and accompanied Su Xiujin to buy some fat and refined lard, Su Xiujin watched the butcher fall with a knife in front of the stall, and the cutting of pig bones was even more neat, and he made a small face, Jin Da Niu couldn't help laughing, provoking Su Xiujin to look at him several times. Spent fifty wen to buy more than four catties of white fat meat, Jin Da Niu took a straw rope and wore pork, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this fat pork, the lard that is refined is ten miles fragrant, and this oil residue is fragrant, and some families are willing to eat it only after the New Year's Festival." ”
Su Xiujin's mind turned quickly, "If you make this oil residue into a dish, those who bring food at home may also be willing to buy some food." ”
Jin Da Niu exclaimed: "Miss Su, you are still smart. "Those who buy food every day are those who don't bring food, or those who bring less, and some who bring food at home don't buy their food.
Su Xiujin asked the location of the wine shop again, asked the boss to add a pound of wine, and spent another twenty yuan. Jin Daniu didn't understand, and said, "I don't drink alcohol, what do I do when I drink?" ”
"Yesterday, I saw those two catchers looking at us intentionally or unintentionally, I'm afraid that the money is less, and it's hard for us to make money to keep others from blushing, so we have to buy something to gag their mouths."
Jin Da Niu nodded, "These catchers are all fish and meat people, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not be blushful of our way of making money." ”
Jin Da Niu lifted the wine and asked: "I have bought all this wine and meat, see if I want to buy another piece of cloth, I see that the eldest lady's clothes are old, and there is no one to change and wash, which is inconvenient." ”
It's been four or five days since I've been here, and Su Xiujin hasn't had time to change her clothes, she and the fourth aunt just have such a set of linen jackets, where are they willing to take off the pulp and wash it, that fine cloth shirt naturally doesn't dare to wear it, and she even thinks about exchanging it for some money.
The cloth village in the town naturally can't afford to go, there are a lot of ladies around in front of this cloth stall, the cloth color is also monotonous, either it is a green background and white flowers, or it is a gray cloth, the color is not good-looking, but the price is cheap, durable, as long as eight cents a zhang, if you buy more, you can also send some cloth.
Su Xiujin took a fancy to a green cloth, the color is lighter, suitable for the fourth aunt, just about to say that the cloth is pulled, this was suddenly pushed vigorously from behind, Su Xiujin was unstable under his feet, and was about to pounce on the cloth stall, Jin Da Niu's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly hugged Su Xiujin's slender waist, and with a hard arm, Su Xiujin pounced on Jin Da Niu's chest, and her strong muscles hit her eyes with Venus, and Jin Da Niu's anxious inquiry was in her ears: "Miss Su, Miss Su, are you okay?" ”
Su Xiujin shook his head, the street was in chaos, Jin Da Niu stood steadily in the crowd with Su Xiujin in his arms, Su Xiujin suddenly heard a whip, the county official opened the road when he went out, if the official was a little bigger, it was the servant riding a horse to open the way, as for this whip, it must be the home of a very powerful and wealthy businessman.
Su Xiujin was thinking that the family would appear in the market of this town, and just saw four sedan chairmen carrying a blue-topped sedan chair walking in front of Su Xiujin.
Su Xiujin's eyes suddenly flickered, the sedan chairs in each province have their own specific signs, Su Xiujin looked at the bronze sign on the sedan chair, and the small seal carved out a Zhao character was extraordinarily dazzling.
People from the Zhao family? Su Xiujin thought, as if he felt Su Xiujin's eyes, and the man in the sedan chair opened the sedan curtain and looked outside.
"Grandma, grandma, is that the son of a rich and noble family? He looks so handsome! A little girl took her grandmother's hand and shouted.
The old woman hurriedly said, "Hua'er, don't talk nonsense. ”
The face is like a peach blossom, a thin amorous lip is slightly pursed, the eyebrows are slightly frowned, and there are three points of sadness in the eyes, if it is not for the white jade crown on his head, but he is male and female, this is not Zhao Yechu Who is it?
Jin Daniu looked at it and hurriedly said, "Isn't that Zhao Gongzi?" He originally saw Zhao Yechu relieve Su Xiujin from the siege, so he naturally had an impression.
Su Xiujin frowned, she didn't want to go over to find Zhao Yechu, no matter what he said, he promised himself an oral marriage contract, but the Su family could abandon her at will, which means that the Zhao family didn't want to let her in at all!
