Chapter 119: East City

Shen Lian couldn't help laughing when she saw him looking embarrassed, and turned around and asked Wang Yunhuan, who had just entered the house: "Cousin, how is Hailing's study?" Did you listen to Mr. or not, did you get into a fight with your classmates? ”

Wang Yunhuan glanced at Shen Hailing, and said with a smile: "Hailing is okay to read, and he is not greedy for fun, and he will read with me for a while when he comes back every day." ”

Hearing this, Shen Lan was also happy in her heart, a child's reading still depends on himself, if he is unwilling to read, it is useless for others to spend a lot of effort, and it is best to be willing to read.

"Cousin, I don't know when Hailing will have a holiday?" Shen Lan asked again.

"You can go back after school the day after tomorrow, but it's not early at that time, and it's not very convenient for you to go back." Wang Yunhuan replied, if you go back from the county, you will have to walk for a few hours, although it is getting dark now, but if you really let them go back, Wang Yunhuan is not very relieved, in case something happens along the way, it will not be good.

Shen Lan thought for a while and said, "Then it's better to go back the day after tomorrow, so as not to rush back for the reunion dinner." ”

"It's okay, it just so happens that your sisters are also having a good time in the county, and they are all locked up at home on weekdays, so can they stay in the county for two more days when they come out." Aunt Yun also spoke.

Shen Lan was a little moved by this, although she had been to the county a few times, but every time she came and went in a hurry, she really didn't take a look around the county carefully, and now it was a good opportunity, so she agreed: "Then trouble my aunt and cousin, I will disturb my sister and Xiaoshi for a few more days." ”

"Where, my cousin is polite, it's a good thing to be able to come to live at home, you can accompany my mother more." Wang Yunhuan smiled and spoke, his mother only has a son like him, and he usually doesn't even have a confidant, this cousin of the Shen family is here, maybe he can make his mother happy for a few days.

"Then I'll thank my cousin and sister-in-law here, I've been bothering for the past few days." Shen Lan smiled and blessed Wang Yunhuan and the Qian family, and the Qian family hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "My cousin is used to being polite and polite, but your cousin and I treat you as our own sisters." ”

There is a reason why Qian is so kind to Shen Lan, naturally it is the pair of earrings that Shen Lan sent, the pearls sold by Shen Lan were redesigned by the owner of the jewelry store to create two pairs of earrings and two pairs of Zhu Hai, which were bought by the women of large families in the county, and it was a good story for a while, Qian as a talented lady, occasionally have personal contacts, people see her earrings and want to discuss it, Qian only knows that the earrings he wears are worth one or twenty taels of silver, as long as he thinks of the jewelry that Shen Lan gave himself and his mother-in-law about forty or fifty taels of silver, She was amazed, what a big deal this was.

As the saying goes, people are short and people are soft-mouthed, she has now received such a precious pair of earrings from Shen Lan, how can she not be interested in Shen Lan, even with Shen Hailing is also very good, and also asked her father-in-law to urge Shen Hailing to study, these are the effects of Shen Lan's two pairs of earrings.

In fact, Shen Lan also stumbled by mistake, who knew that these two pairs of earrings were sold at a sky-high price in this small county, and the beads were only sold for one or two pieces of silver, Shen Lan estimated that the maximum value of these earrings would not exceed five taels and one pair, but I didn't expect that Tianbao Yinlou was sold for more than twenty taels of pairs, as for the Zhu Hai, it was sold for hundreds of taels, and Shen Lan only sold fifty taels of silver at the beginning, but the store made several times the price as soon as it changed hands.

Shen Lan and Shen Mei flattered each other with the Qian family, and then switched to the dining room to eat, although there were no green leafy vegetables on the table, but there were still water chestnuts on the new market, and there were also tofu and bean sprouts, plus a big bowl of meat and a fathead fish, it can be said that the Wang family's food was very good.

After dinner, Shen Hailing was taken away by Wang Yunhuan to review his homework, Shen Lan and the sisters lived in a guest room with stones, Qian specially prepared hot water for them, and after a day's walk, Shen Lan and Shen Mei were also a little tired, so they washed up and went to bed.

After breakfast the next day, Wang Yunhuan and Shen Hailing went to the school early, Shen Lan and Shen Mei discussed early in the morning to go to the county to walk around, so the sisters went out with their children, Jixian County is not lively on weekdays, probably close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is a lot more people, Shen Lan and Shen Mei are ready to go around.

Jixian County in the morning is very lively, especially in the East Market, most of the people in the East Market are places where people from nearby towns come to set up stalls, so it is particularly lively in the morning and morning, selling everything, Shen Lan has only been to the market once, and has not yet shopped, this time there is nothing to do in the county, so he pulled Shen Mei to shop.

In addition to selling vegetables, there are also sellers of flowers, eggs and snacks, and then there are all kinds of bamboo and ceramic utensils, that is, chickens, ducklings and piglets, Shen Lan is not very concerned about other things, but small animals are greedy, although there are more than ten chickens at home, but in fact, she also wants to raise pigs and ducks, ducks can be made into down jackets in winter, compared to cotton jackets, Shen Lan feels that down is more warm.

"How do you sell this duck?" She asked without holding back Shen Lan, and Shen Mei on the side hurriedly pulled down her clothes, but Shen Lan completely ignored it.

"Two pieces and one piece, do you want it?" The duck seller saw that the business came to the door, and immediately replied happily.

It's not expensive, so why do you want to buy it? But now that she's a guest at someone's house, it's hard to bring the duck with her, what does that look like?

Reluctantly looked at the little yellow duck, Shen Lan really wanted to reach out and touch it, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was stopped by someone selling ducks, saying that she couldn't wipe her hot hands, and it was easy to die if she touched the duckling, unless she planned to buy it, it would be no problem.

"Big sister, this year's drought." Shen Mei whispered something in Shen Lan's ear.

Shen Lan nodded, and then said regretfully to the duckling seller: "I hate it this year, this duck needs water, forget it." ”

When the duck seller heard this, he immediately lost his smile and shouted impatiently: "Go, don't talk nonsense if you don't buy it." ”

So the two sisters could only leave with the child, in fact, Shen Lan didn't care, after all, she had space, but the duck was too small, and she would definitely die if she lost the space at the beginning.

Shen Lan still saw that there were watermelons for sale in the market, and there were also wild chestnuts and water chestnuts, water chestnuts are divided into two kinds, one is the wild four-horned chestnut, the other is the two-horned chestnut, the two-horned chestnut sells better, because it is easy to eat, and the four-horned chestnut is also bought by someone, although it is small but it tastes more powdery, Shen Lan bought some two-horned chestnuts and prepared to take them back to let Qian cook and eat, in fact, she still wants to buy hairy chestnuts back to make sugar fried chestnuts, but after all, she borrowed and lived in other people's homes, and it can't be too much, so Shen Lan plans to buy it again tomorrow.

Shen Mei, who had been pulling Shen Lan and not letting Shen Lan buy things indiscriminately, was standing in front of a stall and couldn't walk, Shen Lan walked over and took a look, it turned out to be a rouge seller, one by one in a porcelain box, Shen Lan was not interested in this at all, not that she didn't love beauty, but that she couldn't look down on it, thinking about what she didn't have in her original world, how could she fall in love with things in this era?

But Shen Lan doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that Shen Mei doesn't like it, who is willing to spend money on a box of rural women in this era, even if she really buys it, it will be treasured and used for several years, so how can a box of red rouge not attract people's attention? What's more, Shen Mei has grown up, and she is almost in time, and being able to have such a box of rouge can be said to be a dream in every girl's heart.

"Do you like it?" Shen Lan asked, Shen Mei nodded, and then shook her head in embarrassment.

"Oh, the two little ladies look so standard, as long as you use some more of my rouge, it will be even more brilliant." The lady who sells rouge smiled and spoke, looking very enthusiastic.

"If you like it, pick one." Shen Lan said without much care, women are born with a love for cosmetics, so Shen Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Mei liking rouge.

Shen Mei shook her head and said, "It's too expensive, forget it." ”

Before asking the price, Shen Lan felt that it was expensive, and Shen Lan was a little incomprehensible, so she opened her mouth and asked: "Auntie, how do you sell this rouge?" ”

As soon as Shen Lan finished asking, the lady who sold rouge immediately said with a smile on her face: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, this kind of ten wen a box, this kind of fifty wen a box, this is a box of three dollars of silver, I don't know which kind of lady likes it." ”

Shen Lan looked at the box she pointed to, the three kinds of rouge were contained in different boxes, and the texture was not very visible, so she said, "Can you pick some and try it?" ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately smiled happily: "Of course you can, I have a special one here for people to try, which one do you want to try?" ”

"Eldest sister, just buy the cheapest one." Seeing that Shen Lan seemed to be going to buy it, Shen Mei was busy building it.

Shen Lan glanced back at her, what does this girl know? You get what you pay for, this rouge is something that is smeared on the face and lips, how can you buy it casually?

"Take them all out and let me try them." Shen Lan spoke directly.

The lady who sold rouge immediately responded with a smile, generally saying that people who tried it must be buying, so she eagerly moved the rouge drawer open, revealing a small number below, and from a few small miles out of a few boxes of rouge that had been opened, and then brought up the wooden box that had been rouge before, and closed the two doors that had hung down before, and suddenly became a small table, and then put the rouge on the small table.

Shen Lan opened the box of rouge once, took out some from it and smeared it on the back of her hand, and then slowly blurred the color, this rouge is water red, it is difficult to wipe off when you touch your hand, and Shen Lan was a little dislike it immediately, but she still tried other rouges in turn, and found that the most expensive box was not only more moisturizing, but also had a faint floral fragrance.

"That's it, Mei Niang, do you like pink or red?" The color of this rouge is really monotonous, there are only two models, one is bright red and the other is pink. R1152
