Chapter 16: Die-hard fans
Jin Ju mysteriously leaned close to her ear and muttered, "I heard that someone privately painted the portrait of General Lei and wanted to sell it secretly," Speaking of the portrait, Jin Ju was both happy and helpless, "It must be too expensive, even if you sell me, you can't afford it." ”
Looking at Jin Ju's disappointed little face, Mu Xiang smiled helplessly, dragged her arm, and walked out, "Since you can't afford it, then don't think about it, wait for a few years when you become a parent and have a baby, and then look back, the current infatuation is really ridiculous." ”
"Oh, why don't you believe it," Jin Ju is a die-hard fan of Helian Sheng, and the hardcore fans have very conflicted ideas, hoping that everyone will like what she likes, but also not afraid that people will rob her of her like. Therefore, when this Mu Xiang was unimpressed with Helian Sheng, she stomped her feet in a hurry.
Just as Jin Ju awkwardly followed Mu Xiang out of the teahouse, a person suddenly ran over and quickly ran past them. The man ran too fast, didn't look at the road at all, and accidentally bumped into Jin Ju, but fortunately, Mu Xiang was behind her and helped her in time, so as to avoid the embarrassment of her falling to the ground.
"You!" Jin Ju was on fire in his heart, and he was hit inexplicably, and he was about to get angry, only to hear the man run into the teahouse and shout loudly, "I heard that General Lei led his troops to attack the Canglan border, and Kuta's territory went, just near the Flying Dragon Valley eight hundred miles away from us!" ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and his words made the few tea customers in the teahouse all excited.
One person suddenly said: "I've heard people say before, not far from our town, there is a Jade Belt River, and the source is in the area of Feilong Valley, yo, you say, if the general wins the Canglan people, will he pass by us on the way back?" ”
As soon as his words were finished, someone immediately refuted it, and a short and fat man waved his hand again and again, disagreeing with his guess, "How can the general go up the road by such a long waterway, besides, no matter which way back to Beijing you take, you won't be able to get to us." ”
A bearded man next to the fat man slammed his fist on the table, and said hatefully: "I am also a seven-foot man, but I hate that I can't protect my family and defend the country, I can't join the army, if General Lei comes to us to recruit soldiers, I will be the first to sign up, as long as I can join the general's command, even if I am a fire-burning and dishwashing, I am willing!" ”
The storyteller has the highest prestige among the people, and when he saw this, he talked and talked away, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal them not to speak, "We are far away from the war here, you guys, just live a good life, don't look at my usual storytelling is quite enjoyable, but I know better than anyone else, on the battlefield, it is equivalent to putting a knife on the neck, and when people swing the knife down, the head has to move, and the life is gone, but it's not as simple as you think, go home, what should you do!" ”
Mu Xiang said in his heart: This storyteller, the book is good, and he can see things clearly and understandably, which is really rare. Mu Xiang turned his eyes and said to Jin Ju: "See, those things of swords and swords are too far away from us, don't expect to be able to come to us, fighting is to die, a person only has one life, and if he dies, there will be no more." ”
Jin Ju hung his little head, nodded, and obediently followed Mu Xiang.
On the way home, Jin Ju actually said yes, and Mu Xiang had prepared a large set of words to explain her generosity today. Now it seems that she can't use it, Jin Ju's mind is not here at all.
When passing by the city gate, there is a grain store, and there is a sign hanging outside the door, the rice is fifteen wen a catty, and the white flour is ten wen. Mu Xiang remembers that there was little rain last year, and it seems that the rice harvest was not very good, and the wheat was drought tolerant, but the harvest was better, so the price of white flour was cheaper. Of course, the amount of land that can be cultivated varies from place to place, and the price of grain also varies.
Mu Xiang thought about buying five catties of flour first, it didn't weigh much, and it was piled up in her back basket, just right.
This time Jin Ju wondered, "I just haven't seen you in the morning, and I bought so many things, where did you get the money?" ”
Mu Xiang said with a smile while loading flour: "It's not just that I sold the recipe for making pig intestines, and I got a few small dollars, so they gave me a tael of silver, just enough to buy these household things, and I don't make a lot of money, don't talk nonsense after you go back, I'm just trying my luck, I used to work as a helper in the town, and I overheard someone talk about it, so I tried it myself, but I didn't expect it to be a try, it's nothing." ”
Jin Ju didn't think she was modest, a recipe sold for one or two silver, in her opinion, it was also Mu Xiang who made a lot of money, if she knew that Mu Xiang exchanged a recipe for fifty taels, I was afraid that her jaw would fall off.
"You earned a tael of silver in one morning, but you have to treat you," Jin Ju also didn't eat all morning, and he was really hungry.
Mu Xiang took out two buns from the bamboo basket and handed them to her, "Oh, let's eat, let's hurry after eating." "The bun is stuffed in the middle, and it hasn't cooled yet.
Jin Ju only took one, and the other stuffed back to her, and said with a simple smile: "I have a small stomach, I can't eat two, you can take it back for the dog and Caiyun to eat!" ”
Mu Xiang pushed her hand back, tidied up the back basket, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just two buns, I still invite it, besides, I bought a lot, and there are still in the back basket!" ”
Seeing that she didn't look polite, Jin Ju didn't shirk anymore, and took a bite of the bun with a smile.
After a few tosses, by the time they were about to return to the village, it was approaching evening. Mu Xiang hung his younger siblings, and his steps were faster, but because he was carrying things, it was impossible to walk faster.
Along the way, Jin Ju was still worried and thinking about Helian Sheng, sighing as she walked, and she didn't know whether she sighed that she didn't see General Lei, or that she was about to marry a wife, and she would not even be qualified to worship in the future.
When he was about to arrive at the entrance of the village, Mu Xiang, who was walking in front, suddenly slowed down, Jin Ju followed too closely, and almost hit her back, Jin Ju bypassed her with a blank face, "You suddenly slowed down, and you didn't say a word to me, you almost bumped into it." As she spoke, she looked ahead.
At the entrance of Yuhe Village, two poplar trees are planted. The poplar tree grows fast, and it is a few years old, so the trunk is so thick that five or six people can't fit together, and it can be seen from a distance, a few miles away.
However, at this moment, under the poplar tree, there is a man and a woman standing.
The woman's affection, the man's gentleness and elegance, seem to be whispering, although far away, I can't hear what they are saying, but with the picturesque pastoral scenery behind him, it is still pleasing to the eye.
Jin Ju was so angry that he pulled Mu Xiang behind him and said angrily: "You follow me, don't see it later, don't pay attention to them, Su Xiu's girl, who is as coquettish as her mother, is not a good thing!" ”――
