The dumb gaze moved down and looked into the shop.

After only one glance, he moved the lotus step lightly and walked in.

This bamboo shop is similar to other bamboo shops, but it is not the same.

The store is neat and spacious, and the things sold are much more elaborate and detailed.

Standing dumb in the middle, his eyes glanced around: from the bamboo bed to the bamboo spoon and chopsticks. The bamboo bed is covered with exquisite bamboo mats and bamboo pillows; On the various cases of bamboo strips, there are all kinds of large and small bamboo plates, bamboo bowls, bamboo fans, makeup boxes, etc., and there are elegant single stools next to them, or quaint bamboo chairs, a group of sets, which are not inferior to the wooden ones; In addition, flower baskets, suitcases, bamboo boxes, needlework baskets, etc. of different sizes and shapes are neatly arranged, all delicate and elegant, refreshing, but there are no rough farm tools such as baskets.

Looking up at the wall again, there is a picture of a magpie climbing a branch.

The dumb gaze was immediately glued.

Just as he was looking, a teenager came out from behind the counter and asked, "What does the girl want?" ”

Qing Du nodded to him slightly, didn't say a word, and continued to watch by himself.

Because I saw a bamboo fan on a bamboo table, it looked like a silk fan, but it didn't look like it.

Puzzled, he stepped forward, put down the guqin, picked up the fan and watched carefully.

At this time, Wu and others also followed up and shouted, "Dumb." ”

I heard Cai's surprise say: "Oh, Brother Minghui! ”

This shop is the destination of the Wu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law today, and the young man is the son-in-law carefully selected by the Guo family to look at: Jiang Minghui.

Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were going to coax Qingmu in, but she didn't need to be coaxed, so she walked in by herself.

They come in, but they do not look at people, but at things.

This made them full of doubts - is it a marriage that is destined for heaven?

Wu's heart went up and down, and his face was silent, pretending to look at things.

"It's Sister Cai." Jiang Minghui greeted Cai with a smile, "Sister Cai has something to do when she comes to town?" ”

Cai smiled: "Hey, come and sell something with your mother-in-law." Don't buy this when it's sold out. Where to make money and where to spend, money can't survive overnight. Alas, you can't save ...... if you want to live."

chattered a lot, causing Wu to glare at her, thinking that she was talking nonsense.

The young man hurriedly asked, "Sister Cai, sit down and take a breath." ”

He said politely to the Wu family: "Auntie also sits." ”

nodded to Guo Dagui again, and then looked at Guo Qiao and made an amiable smile.

Guo Qiao tilted his head, smiled back sweetly, then stood up and reached out for Guo Dagui to carry her out of the basket. Waiting for the ground, the little girl immediately ran to the dumb, "Sister-in-law, what is this?" I'll see. ”

Here, Cai said to Jiang Minghui: "Don't delay your business, let's take a look and leave." ”

Saying that, he pretended to say to his mother-in-law: "This is Brother Jiang." ”

Wu glanced at Jiang Minghui very casually.

The boy was sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a blue cloth gown, and his figure was slender. Xu is because he rarely does farm work, he has a fair complexion, which can be called "clear eyebrows, white teeth and red lips". Cai's statement that he is handsome is not an exaggeration.

Wu was twelve points satisfied, and his heart warmed up.

Because he asked Cai, "Where is your mother's house?" ”

Cai pretended to be nothing, nodded and said, "My mother's house is next door." Mother, you should have seen it. At that time, he was still young, and when he grew up, he didn't recognize him. ”

He said to Jiang Minghui again: "This is my mother-in-law." ”

pointed to Guo Dagui and Guo Qiao again: "This is my third uncle." This is my niece. ”

Jiang Minghui nodded and greeted again.

In the end, Cai Shi pointed dumb and said, "That's my sister-in-law." ”

shouted to the dumb again: "Little sister, what are you looking at?" If you don't buy it, we'll go. ”

Jiang Minghui looked at Qing Minghui.

He was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this quiet girl to be Cai's sister-in-law.

Qing Mu was unaware of the situation between them, and was holding the bamboo fan close in front of him to take a closer look.

The handle of a bamboo fan is woven with very fine bamboo silk and two magpies stand on plum branches. The fan, magpie and plum branches are respectively used to highlight the difference in color and luster with the yang and shade sides of the bamboo strips. The former is willow yellow, the latter is cyan, faint marks, set off each other, like a painting, and like an embroidery picture.

Although it is only two-colored, the craftsmanship is ingenious.

It is not easy to weave, so the only similar works are this fan and the magpie climbing branch banner hanging on the wall. The picture on the banner is the same as on the fan, but it is enlarged.

Looking at the fan dumbly, he could see that Jiang Minghui on the side was also stupid.

He's an idiot for looking at people.

The girl in front of her held a fan and watched quietly in the light.

This movement shows that her neck is slender, the lines are beautiful, the black clouds on her head are stacked, and the back of her head is three thousand wisps of waterfall. Looking at the face again, the complexion is as smooth as jade, and the black pupils are especially pure, like newborn baby eyes, without a trace of impurities; With a delicate nose bridge, pink cherry lips, and a delicate chin, his person is quiet and picturesque.

The young man's heart suddenly beat faster, and his cheeks were inexplicably hot.

knew that it was rude to stare at people like this, but he couldn't keep his eyes open.

Shaking her head, look at her again: wearing a red plum brocade dress on a white background, with a white silk skirt underneath, a two-finger-wide embroidered belt around her waist, a slender waist, and a graceful figure, just like plum blossoms in the snow, Ling Han opened by herself, and the dark fragrance was pleasant.

He couldn't help but turn crimson, his eyes were as bright as water, and his veins were full of affection.

Cai and Wu saw this situation in their eyes and exchanged glances quietly.

The Guo family has a slight property, is dumb and waiting to marry a daughter, and is loved by his father and mother, so he naturally has a few decent pieces of jewelry and clothes. I won't talk about jewelry, I can only buy it; But the fabric of the clothes was not bought, but she bought silk and came back, and she woven it herself, and chose some to save as a dowry, and also made a few clothes.

On today's blind date, of course, the Wu family asked her daughter to dress brightly.

Qing Mu used to dress herself plain and elegant, so she didn't pay attention to her deliberate pouting.

Now it seems that this work has not been in vain.

Cai's mother-in-law signaled, and came up to the ground with a smile and shouted, "Dumb!" ”

Qing Mu and Jiang Minghui were shocked together, and they both woke up.

Jiang Minghui was caught as a thief, and he lowered his head in a panic and didn't dare to look at people.

Cai's pretended not to know, and asked with a smile: "You want to buy a fan?" It's almost winter, what do you want a fan for? We don't have a lot of fans in our house! ”

Qingbei glanced at his sister-in-law and ignored her.

Then, she set her eyes on Jiang Minghui again, as if she had something to ask.

Jiang Minghui was lowering his eyes, so he didn't see her.

Cai hurriedly shouted: "Minghui, my sister-in-law called you." ”

Jiang Minghui hurriedly raised his eyes and asked randomly, "Girl...... Want...... Buy? ”

Qing stared at him dumbly, gently shaking the bamboo fan in his hand.

Jiang Minghui touched her inquiring gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he replied like a ghost: "What price does the girl ask?" Three...... Thirty texts. ”

On the side, Guo Dagui exclaimed: "Thirty Wen! A fan? ”

He looked at Jiang Minghui suspiciously, thinking to himself, don't kill this kid, right?

If so, he is a profiteer, and his sister can't marry him.

Jiang Minghui somehow looked embarrassed, and stammered in a panic: "No." Be...... This fan is labor-intensive and not easy to weave, so it is more expensive. ”

The dumb nodded and said, "It's not expensive." ”

Jiang Minghui breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, "Of course it's not expensive, it's ten times lower." ”

Then I was very happy, I felt dumb and knowledgeable, and I was a confidant.

You know, this fan and banner were designed by him.

Weaving pictures with bamboo silk is the first time their family has tried it.

Guo Dagui said: "It's not expensive? I'll see, what a good thing! Isn't it made of bamboo? ”

After speaking, he took the fan from his sister's hand and took a closer look.

He's not incomprehensible. Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, the land of silk, the water town is developed in commerce, and the sales of porcelain and bamboo are also thriving. In this place of Xiazhao County, there are few men who do not know the craftsmanship of craftsmen, and women must be able to weave. He had also studied as a carpenter, so when he saw the hair-thin texture of the bamboo silk, he knew that he had misunderstood others.

"The craftsmanship is so exquisite! Thirty is worth it. He said embarrassedly to Jiang Minghui.

"Yo, it's more delicate than embroidery." Cai also stepped forward to see it and praised it.

Jiang Minghui wanted to say, "Thirty Wen is too much of a loss", but he looked dumb and closed his mouth again.

Guo Dagui said: "Little sister, you really like this fan." I'll buy it for you. ”

He hasn't spent any money today, and his sister likes it, so he's anxious to help her buy it.

Seeing his eagerness to pay the bill, Qing Mu nodded.

Guo Dagui happily asked, "Do you want to buy anything else?" ”

Qingdu, he looked at Jiang Minghui again and pointed to the banner on the wall.

Jiang Minghui hurriedly ran over, set up a stool to take it down, and sent it to her.

He held it up with both hands for her to watch.

At the same time, he explained softly and apologetically: "Girl, take a look, but it is not for sale." This one...... This is a small shop's pressed goods. If a customer wants goods, they have to make a reservation first, and the delivery will be delivered one month later. ”

If this item is sold tenfold, he will not be able to account for it to his family.

Dumb nodded, and took a closer look.

The texture of this panel is consistent with the fan surface, which shows that the weaving method is the same.

After looking at it for a while, she knew what she knew, and motioned for him to put it away.

Jiang Minghui turned around and hung the banner on the wall again.

Seeing that his wish had been fulfilled, Wu did not want to stay any longer.

Marrying a girl is to let people come to ask for it, and after staying for a long time, won't people see their eyebrows, saying that she sent her daughter to the door, it will affect the reputation of the dumb.

So, she walked over to Qing Mu and said, "You want this fan?" That ......"

I was about to say, "I have a fan at home, don't buy it." After a while, he changed it to "If you like it, buy it." Your sister-in-law said that the Jiang family has the best craftsmanship. You see what else you like, buy them all together, and keep them as a dowry. After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Minghui casually.

The word "dowry" shocked Jiang Minghui when he heard it, evoking infinite reverie, and the taste in his heart was difficult to understand.

When I bought a guqin before, I was dumb and knew that the farmer lived a frugal life. She bought a fan for use, and other things were dispensable for her, so she shook her head and said, "Don't want it." Picked up the guqin again, looked at Guo Dagui again, and then looked at the fan.

Guo Dagui understood, smiled and paid the bill, and bought the fan.

After buying, everyone is ready to leave.

Jiang Minghui saw that they were leaving, and he was reluctant.

However, Wu had already pulled Qing Mu and walked out first.

Guo Dagui also put Guo Qiao into the basket and picked it up.

Only Cai and Jiang Minghui greeted each other warmly and said goodbye.

Jiang Minghui looked at the dumb back, and asked, "Sister Cai is gone?" ”

Cai smiled: "Let's go." Go out on the street again, buy something, and get back early. ”

When he said this, his feet were like roots, and he didn't move.

Jiang Minghui didn't notice it at all, and said: "Sister Cai will go back to her parents' house one day and go to my house to sit down." ”

Cai Shi waited for this, because he smiled: "I only went back yesterday." I also saw your mother. ”

Seeing that Jiang Minghui didn't care, he took the initiative to lower his voice and explained: "It's my sister-in-law-" This sentence alone caused Jiang Minghui to prick up his ears and listen to the following-"My in-laws were reluctant to let her marry far away, so they helped her set up a marriage in our village-" Jiang Minghui's heart sank, and he was extremely uncomfortable--"Who knew that kid was not a thing, and he did something unsightly with a girl in our village, which made people's stomachs bigger." Are you angry or not? ”

In front of the Cai family, Jiang Minghui couldn't help blushing and said, "It's really shameless!" ”

Cai said: "That's not it! My parents-in-law were so angry that they couldn't eat, so they retired from their parents. ”

Jiang Minghui suddenly felt that the clouds had cleared, and he said happily: "That's how it should be." ”

Cai said: "My sister-in-law is good-looking, can weave and embroider, and is also a good hand at housework. I'm afraid I won't be able to get married! He leaned closer to the boy and said mysteriously, "I just want to tell her to kohlrabi, so I went home and discussed it with my mother." ”

Jiang Minghui was shocked and asked in a trembling voice, "Can ...... Can it be decided? ”
