Chapter 18 Xianghuya
Harvesting grain? By the way, I almost forgot about it. My younger brother often travels back and forth in the county capital, and there must be news, so it's time to ask.
"One more thing, Xi, have you ever heard of the grain harvest this year?"
Hearing Shen's question, Shen Xi looked at Shen in surprise, and Shen, who was unsure of the situation, was even more uncertain when he saw his brother's expression.
Seeing that my brother has never heard of this, is he guessing wrong?
However, Shen guessed wrong, but it was not that Shen Xi didn't know about the grain collection, but Shen Xi's expression was wondering how his sister knew the news? Isn't he well-informed?
"Sister, how do you know about this!"
Seeing his younger brother ask, Shen let go of his breath, it seems that he didn't guess this wrong, and the people in the old courtyard really had the idea.
So Shen told his brother what happened a few days ago without concealment. After listening, Shen Xi sneered: "Sister, your aunt has really not changed at all after so many years!" It's still so disgusting! ”
After a pause, he exhaled the sullenness in his heart before continuing: "I only got the exact news in the past two days, and I want to find a time to go to your side to remind you, after all, our family is still living in the village below, and there is only my sister left." But since the old pious woman has done this, but your father-in-law is also biased to the limit. ”
"Bias, bias, the better!" Shen raised the corners of his mouth, "Your brother-in-law didn't say anything serious about the family separation, so he was pressed by the old man Mu, and when this happened, you watched the last bit of family affection between the two brothers also be polished by the old man Mu, and the separation was a certainty." ”
"But in the end, what if Old Man Mu doesn't agree?" Shen Xi's worries are not unreasonable.
"There are still clan elders in Sanmu Village, when Mu Laosan robbed your brother-in-law's errand, he angered the clan elders, if it weren't for the old man Mu pressing, hum, but at that time, the clan elders would not be used to the old man Mu. Now if there is another big event, unless the old man Mu doesn't even want his face, there is nothing to say! ”
"Besides, the eldest son of the sixth grandmother is now the village head, and these two points can be determined that the family will not suffer a big loss, even if it suffers a loss, I am willing to move out from there!" These accounts are clear and clear.
Seeing that his sister was so thoughtful, coupled with the help of the Shen family, Shen Xi believed that his sister would definitely be able to live well!
However, these are not the focus now, the focus is to help my sister sell these three-colored wild eggs, with this income, the financial pressure on my sister's family should be reduced a lot.
Thinking about it, Shen Xi opened a small cabinet in his study, took out four silver coins and a small bag of copper coins, and handed them to Shen, "Sister, you know, according to the rules, I can only pay so much first, and now the price is undecided, I will give it according to last year's price, and after selling it, the rest will be given to you after deducting the middle price." In order not to be eye-catching, it is estimated that my sister will have to wait another month to get the rest. ”
These rules are also familiar to the Shen family, and the Shen family doesn't want to take advantage of his younger brother at all, his younger brother has money, which he has earned by his own efforts, and he can rest assured that he will hand it over to his younger brother.
As soon as we finished talking, Limber came to ask for instructions that a guest had come to the door.
Seeing this, the Shen family was not polite, and went directly to the Li family by himself, buying cloth is also a big deal, isn't it?
Li's mother's family opened a dyeing workshop in this town, and when they went there to buy cloth with good quality and enjoy the family price, why not do it.
After lunch, the number of people who came to visit Shen ****** did not decrease, so Shen directly said hello to his younger brother and went shopping with Li.
Juli Town is different from Dachuan Town, this town is a big market every five days, and the Shen family also planned to buy something here when they came, after all, the market in Juli Town, which is the hub center, is far larger than Dachuan Town.
After Mu Lan came to this world again, it was the first time to go to the market seriously, and when she was in the Mu family before, the work and chores in the kitchen made her have no time to go at all, and Xiao Zhao didn't think about taking her there, and the Shen family has been busy, even if there is time, there may not be a market. For various reasons, Mu Lan can only catch up with the market now.
Shen also did what she said, she said before that one-tenth of the income from these eggs went to Mu Lan It was not a joke, Shen did not hesitate to hand Mu Lan a purse in the car, which contained exactly 50 copper coins, Li saw the bulging purse, and said how to give so much to the child.
Mu Lan held the wallet with a moment of doubt, but looking at Shen's encouraging gaze, Mu Lan grinned.
Shen has always used practical actions to educate his children to do what he says. Regarding giving so much money to an eight-year-old girl, Shen said that his daughter believed that she would not spend money indiscriminately.
Shen Xi's yard was not far from the market but not too close, but the Li family's dyeing workshop was next to it in time, and the three of them drove the car directly into the dyeing workshop and went shopping with small baskets.
In order to facilitate the market, Juli Town has built a long corridor, and there are special people to manage the market, and each stall only needs to pay a copper coin for each use.
However, the shops in the corridor have to bid every year, and the highest bidder wins.
Every market in Juli Town is full of people, but maybe because it is organized by the government, the order here is not bad, this is the first impression of Mu Lan here.
You must know that Xiao Zhao's family took Mu Tian and Mu Xin to the market before and was stolen twice, although the amount is not large, it is somewhat stuffy, and after coming back twice, Xiao Zhao's anger was not smooth for a long time, and the thief who stole her money cursed the heavens and the earth, and Mu Lan's ears kept buzzing during that time.
This corridor is about three miles long, and the stalls on both sides of the road sell everything, food and clothing, and Mu Lan even saw that there were glass lamps for sale, but look at the price, Mu Lan said, or wait for himself to have more money!
One silver coin, now I really can't afford to spend it!
The Shen family, who was holding Mu Lan's hand, was discussing with the Li family which house was good and cheap, and the Li family was a frequent visitor to this corridor, and the world was not very constrained on women, especially married people.
The women in the town had no land to take care of, so they came out to shop a lot, and there were many women who gathered in twos and threes to bargain with the shopkeepers. It's a woman's nature.
Mu Lan walked and observed things on both sides, when suddenly she stopped and fixed her eyes on one thing, which was wearing a simple bracelet that looked black like teeth.
To be honest, it looks like the appearance of this thing, and it's all praise to say that it's simple, but it's this thing, at the moment when Mu Lan passed, it seemed that she saw some yuan zi swirling on that black object, and Mu Lan originally thought that she was wrong, so she settled down to take a closer look, and then she was sure that this was indeed a good thing.
Shen sensed his daughter's abnormality, and followed his daughter's eyes to see this somewhat ugly bracelet.
The stall owner is a young man with a bit of a slippery appearance, this person sees someone who has taken a fancy to his own things, it is a little girl, he can fool him, but when he sees the woman behind the little girl, his heart is cold again, and the family of this doll is obviously not good at fooling!
"Boss, how do you sell this?" Anyway, it's fate to meet, and there's no reason not to try!
Hearing his daughter ask this, Shen was very surprised, why did his daughter take such a fancy to such a thing!?
The young man heard that someone was paying attention to his things, and hurriedly replied: "Ahhh ”
"Good stuff?" Mu Lan couldn't help but ask, why do you sell it when you know it's a good thing!
Cut ~ Mu Lan's face of disdain, originally disdainful of the stall owner knows good things but puts these things at will, how, to show it?
Seeing the disdain in Mu Lan's eyes, the stall owner sighed in his heart, he originally wanted to offer a higher price, but this little sister-in-law is also a smart person, it seems that it is impossible for you to open your mouth.
The stall owner rubbed his hands: "Hey, sister-in-law, this is an old object handed down by my mother-in-law." This looks at the sister-in-law Liang at a glance and takes a fancy to it, this is also fate, so let's do it, this is the first transaction, this is half price, only five copper coins! ”
Mu Lan had no idea that the stall owner would be wrong. Misunderstanding is indeed a beautiful existence!
"Five? Young man, if this is the new five copper coins, no one will necessarily buy them. My girl thought it was strange and asked curiously, if you want to make this deal, just tell me the real price, and I might buy it! But if you keep talking nonsense, forget it! I could have spent a little more money to buy my daughter a new and beautiful one. ”
Hearing the stall owner lion open his mouth, Shen smiled, "This is slaughtering my girl as a fat cow!"
"Ouch, that's right, I'm really my mother-in-law's handdown, and I'm a conscience price. Why don't you tell me, what is the right price, and we still have to discuss this price! ”
Mu Lan is stupid, when did Xianghuya become so cheap? Five copper coins!? You can't buy fifty gold coins, can you!?
You must know that Xianghuya itself has a concentrating fragrance, which is very beneficial to the human body, but it is not a connoisseur who can't smell it at all.
This small vendor, the ancestor should be a wealthy and noble family in a big place, otherwise there is no reason to have these good things.
In the stall in front of him, he saw a lot of good things, the wooden box that looked old in the palm size, it was a double pear wood, and the comb was agarwood, and the gem on the small mirror was real!
Hehe, wronged, these things really can't be seen without some eyesight, but where would anyone think that there would be so many good things in a small market!
"Okay, Lanlan, I don't want such an old thing! After a while, my aunt will buy it for you! At this time, Li's voice woke up Mu Lan who was thinking, and the negotiation between Shen and the stall owner broke down.
Mu Lan sighed secretly, this is really, so he can't insist on buying it! Although I have a certain degree of confidence to convince my aunt, I can't stand the fact that there is a little aunt Li next to me, so it's better not to attract her attention for the time being, Mu Lan wrote down this position, and I will buy it myself after a while! Ah, it seems that there are a bunch of cute money dolls who want to swim over by themselves, wait, I'll come to fish you in a while!!
Mu Lan shouted in her heart and left this stall, turning back three times in one step, looking at Shen Shi very strangely, her daughter is not like this, is there anything special about things over there? But I didn't see anything!
