043: Excuses
Shen Niannian didn't know that his painting had been taken to the barracks, and after completing all the things that Shen Xiuniang had ordered, he went to the place on the stage again to find them.
Although she said something before leaving the study just now, she was sure that Liu Ziyue saw that she had so many silver taels in her hands, and she would definitely not sit still, just in case, when she went to find Shen Xiuniang and them, she also specially bought some needlework rags, and asked the shopkeeper for a palm-sized piece of oiled paper, and spent a little time embroidering an insoles, and first wrapped the silver ticket in oilcloth and put it in the insole, and then found it.
"Why have you been around for so long?"
As soon as Shen Xiuniang saw her, she couldn't help but count down, it was nearly an hour, and she had finished watching every scene!
"Mother, just now a girl asked me to help her go to the study to sell paintings, so it took some time." Shen Niannian knew that with Liu Ziyue here, she would definitely not be able to hide the matter of going to the study, but fortunately, she had already prepared her rhetoric and began to fool Shen Xiuniang.
Looking at the lively crowd around her, Shen Xiuniang pretended to be trying to hold back her excitement, leaned into Shen Xiuniang's ear, and whispered, "That girl gave me ten taels of silver for the sale fee!" ”
When Shen Xiuniang heard this, she was taken aback, and hurriedly looked around to make sure that no one heard it, so she took Shen Niannian's hand, walked to a remote corner with few people, and asked in surprise, "What you said is true?" ”
Shen Niannian nodded violently, looking excited, and quickly took out a rag money bag from his sleeve and stuffed it into Shen Xiuniang's hand.
Shen Xiuniang secretly weighed the money bag, and was a little excited in her heart, although she had seen more money, but now she has been gnawing on her old book, and it is not easy to raise a large family, this time she can get ten taels of silver, so she is naturally very excited.
However, she also knew the truth that wealth was not exposed, so she immediately stopped watching the show, and hurriedly went to Wang Sanniang to say a few words, and then made an appointment to go back to Tuozi Village early tomorrow morning, and then pulled Shen Niannian to find an inn and asked for an inferior room to live in.
If it weren't for Shen Niannian's good luck to get ten taels of silver, Shen Xiuniang would have planned to sleep in the Chase shop with Wang Sanniang.
A bed in a large bunk costs only ten yuan, but a low-class room costs sixty yuan a night, if she doesn't get ten taels of silver, she is afraid that it will not be safe at night, and these forty yuan can naturally be saved.
"Why did that girl ask you to help her sell her paintings? Nian Nian, shouldn't you get into any trouble? ”
Although it was really surprising to get ten taels of silver, after Shen Xiuniang calmed down, she asked a little uneasily.
Shen Niannian made a look like she didn't understand anything, blinked and said, "Probably not, that girl doesn't look like a bad person." ”
She's not a bad person in the first place, so it's not a lie.
Shen Niannian pondered in his heart how to put the four hundred and eighty taels of silver in his hand, after all, Shen Xiuniang was not a person who was so easy to fool.
If she hadn't wanted to go to Kyoto and needed to get a guide from the government, she would have left with the money a long time ago, and she wouldn't have come back to find Shen Xiuniang at all.
Although Shen Xiuniang still felt a little strange in her heart, it was enough to surprise people to be able to get ten taels of silver for nothing, so she didn't think of returning it to Shen Niannian at all, but picked it up by herself.
Shen Niannian didn't plan to get back the ten taels of silver, if it weren't for Liu Ziyue who was also there at the time, she would be reluctant to give so much money to Shen Xiuniang.
The sky gradually darkened, Shen Xiuniang took Shen Niannian out to eat a bowl of wontons, spent fifteen yuan, and before the curfew began, she shrunk in the room and didn't go out.
The lower room was not comfortable to live in, and it looked very damp, and even the quilt had a musty smell.
Fortunately, Shen Niannian did not suffer much during this time, and where did he still account for these, so he fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, she felt a faint light turn on in her room.
Squinting his eyes, he faintly felt a person, and his head, which was still a little dazed, suddenly woke up, squinting his eyes, looking at the figure that was alive in the light.
Shen Xiuniang?
Shen Niannian was still pretending to be asleep, watching Shen Xiuniang holding her clothes and pinching them gently, and after finding that she didn't find what she wanted, she looked at her shoes for a while, but still didn't find anything, so she blew out the oil lamp and continued to go to bed.
In the dark, Shen Niannian opened her eyes and listened to Shen Xiuniang's shallow breathing behind her, and her heart sank.
Sure enough, the excuse of selling the painting did not make Shen Xiuniang fully believe that if it weren't for the insoles she remade that she had specially disposed of, I am afraid that this woman would really have found out.
Shen Xiuniang's approach made Shen Niannian feel cold.
If she had only been suspicious before, now she was sure that this country woman was not the one who appeared to love the original owner.
It's just pretending to be like this for others to see.
But why is that?
For some reason, Shen Niannian suddenly remembered the face of this body last time he saw it in the bronze mirror.
The half of her face, which was almost exactly the same as before, made her vaguely aware that there was probably a huge secret in it!
Early the next morning.
Shen Xiuniang and Shen Niannian packed their things early, and then went to the city gate to wait for their ox cart.
Although they also bought an ox cart last time, because they couldn't drive, they still preferred to give some travel expenses and let Li Zheng take them for a ride.
Yesterday, Shen Xiuniang bought a lot of things for her two sons, and she pulled a lot of brand-new and good cloth, and it seemed that she was planning to go back to make clothes for them.
I also bought some of the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and these things in the county are much cheaper than those in the town.
"Ouch, that scene was so good yesterday! That Hua Dan is also very beautiful, I heard that our county lord is going to give that Hua Dan to His Royal Highness King Ling! As soon as Wang Sanniang got in the car, she couldn't help but share the gossip she heard yesterday.
"Didn't you say it was a Kyoto theater troupe? Why is it related to Ling Wangye again? Shen Xiuniang was very cooperative and made an interested look.
Wang Sanniang chuckled, "I only found out yesterday that the troupe was expelled from Kyoto, and it was originally going to be exiled, but the master of the troupe didn't know what method was used to keep the troupe, but if you want to mix in our border city, you must find a backer, then Hua Dan heard that it is still a chick, so I have to send it to Lord Ling!" ”
Shen Niannian listened to Wang Sanniang's gossip silently on the side, and somehow, she suddenly remembered that little prince, speaking of which, they were also acquaintances before.
