Chapter 13: Yuan'er
She exclaimed, "Is this one broken? Is that still so expensive? ”
Qing Du couldn't stop talking, and said, "It's not expensive." The good ones cost three hundred taels of silver. ”
She was an approximate estimate.
Wu and Guo Dagui were dumbfounded.
Boss Wang, who was loading the goods, was even more bleeding in his heart, regretting that he didn't come earlier.
Yuan'er praised: "The girl is really discerning. This piano was used by my eldest young master when he was a child, and I don't know how much money I bought it. But my young master bought a new piano in Huzhou Mansion last time, a famous zuò, called 'Jiuxiao Huanpei', which cost five hundred taels. This is still the price that people only give when they listen to my young master play the piano well, saying 'sword for heroes', and intentionally give way. ”
Qing Du nodded slightly and said, "Thank you!" ”
Yuan'er looked at her with a smile and said, "No thanks." This piano is not bad for the girl. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Boss Wang, and the implication was that it would be ruined for him.
Qing Du couldn't help but smile deepen, thinking that this boy was very cute.
Yuan'er also has a good impression of the dumb.
Although he is a small guy who has been serving people since he was a child, he is the most eye-catching. Seeing that Wu still looked pained, she knew that she was still worried about changing a basket of cakes for a broken piano, so she rolled her eyes and had an idea.
He asked the dumb man, "Can the girl read and write?" ”
Dumb nodded.
Yuan'er said: "Then the girl will wait a while, I still have something for the girl." ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran inside.
Wu and Guo Dagui fell into confusion again-
How can a dumb person recognize words?
Seeing their confusion, Qingdun shook his head slightly.
Both of them kept their mouths shut.
When he was young, Yuan'er turned around, followed by two healthy servants, carrying an old box.
To the open space outside the door, the two put down the box and opened it.
When I looked at it, there were some old pens and inkstones, inkstones, and some books piled up in the box.
Yuan'er smiled at Qing Dumb and said, "These are the things that our young master used in the past. Our family now lives in Huzhou Fucheng, and the young master rarely goes back to the old house once a year. This time I came back to stay, and the things in the house were replaced with new ones. None of this is needed. The girl can see that it can be useful. If it still works, take it. ”
He was a little apprehensive, and he didn't dare to put on a face of charity.
Somehow, he felt that he was really not like a country girl.
However, looking at Guo Dagui and Guo Qiao, they are really countrymen.
There is also the Wu family, who is an authentic country woman, and a basket of cakes has to be calculated.
This made him unable to see through, but he liked to be dumb, so he was polite and polite to her.
Dumb said: "Yes!" ”
The soft voice was tinged with joy, as if accepting a congratulatory gift.
Yuan'er was very happy, "That girl, let's move the box away." Don't delay picking it up. ”
Dumb nodded.
At this moment, Cai's also came over with a burden, and shouted in a loud voice: "Mother, dumb." ”
Seeing that the bamboo baskets at both ends of the picks were very light, he knew that the things were sold out.
Wu asked, "All sold out?" Is there anything left? ”
Cai said: "There are still some water chestnuts and dates left. ”
Seeing a few people in Yuan'er at a glance, he hurriedly said enthusiastically: "This little brother, do you want to buy some dates?" My dates are big, sweet, sun-dried, and full of sugar. There is also water chestnut, which has been boiled with a lot of ingredients, and the smell is ......"
While talking, he stopped picking.
The dumb probe looked into the basket and saw that there were still more than a dozen catties left.
She bent down and picked up a few dates, went to the other end to get a water chestnut, and handed it to Yuan'er.
Yuan'er hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, girl." ”
On the other hand, I threw a jujube into my mouth and tasted it.
Cai thought that the sister-in-law was helping her peddle, and she didn't care.
Once you have tasted it, of course you have to buy it.
After Yuan'er finished eating, she asked with a smile: "It's delicious, little brother?" Sister-in-law didn't lie to you. ”
Yuan'er bit the water chestnut and ate it again, nodded and said, "It's delicious!" ”
This family really knows how to get food, and the food is quite distinctive.
Qingmu pointed to the bamboo basket and said to him, "Send you!" ”
After saying that, he took an empty basket and laboriously poured the water chestnut.
Guo Dagui hurriedly came up and said, "Little sister, take this, I'll get it." ”
Qingdue straightened up, took the guqin and stood aside.
Yuan'er said: "How embarrassing is this! ”
Dumb said: "My family grows it." Send you. ”
Yuan'er was full of comfort, and the more she felt that this girl was in line with her eyes.
Guo Dagui is enthusiastic and the most supportive of his sister, and he also smiled at Yuan'er: "These are all grown by my family, and they are not worth much." Little brother, you don't dislike it, take it home to coax your younger brothers and sisters. It's hard for you today. As he spoke, he had already poured the water chestnut into the basket.
When he straightened his waist, he saw the box sent by Yuan'er, and hurriedly moved the box into the bamboo basket and put it vertically.
Cai and Wu watched from the sidelines.
Cai Shi doesn't understand, obviously selling things, how can he give them away in a blink of an eye!
If she is replaced by someone else, she will definitely not comply.
But this was done by the sister-in-law, and the mother-in-law was also present, so she instinctively wanted to see the mother-in-law's face and act.
As for the Wu family, since Qingdue took dates to Yuan'er to eat, she has carried a heart.
Seeing that the girl was really going to give it away again, she wanted to stop it, but she was afraid of refuting her daughter's face in front of people; Let her send it, and feel distressed, so her expression changed and she hesitated.
Yuan'er felt that Qingdu and Guo Dagui were very good, but Wu and Cai's blind faces could also feel it. He didn't care about being greedy for this little bargain, so he said to the dumb two: "I have already taken the cake, how can I be embarrassed to ask for these." So, let's buy it. He leaned closer and whispered, "Don't worry, girl, I don't have to pay for it myself." ”
After speaking, he turned around and instructed the previous servant: "Chang'er, call Mother Jin." said that this date and water chestnut are very good, Miss Xie will arrive in the evening, and Uncle Han, buy some fruits to prepare for hospitality. ”
Chang'er hurriedly said, "Hey." ”
Turned around and ran in.
Yuan'er said to Cai's family: "Sister-in-law help weigh it, see how many catties, so that you can count the money." ”
Cai Shi couldn't wait to open the scale.
Seeing that he insisted, Qing Du no longer refused.
Such people naturally don't care about small profits.
Since this young man is a person close to the young master, he will not care about the little favor.
If she wants to let it again, it looks like a little childish.
So she said, "Thank you!" ”
Yuan'er found that the girl rarely spoke.
But her eyes convey her heart better than her mouth.
For example, when she said "thank you" at this time, only two words, he saw that there was more than that, and "people like you don't care about these little things." The little brother takes extra care of it, I know it. Since you have a good will, I might as well be respectful. ”
Thinking about it, he couldn't help asking, "What is the girl's surname?" ”
After asking, I regretted it, how could the name of the girl's family sue him?
Ran Qinglu replied: "The surname is Guo." The name is dumb. ”
Yuan'er followed the young master, and there was some ink in his stomach, and his eyes lit up when he heard this, "Qingya!" ”
It's really what it sounds like.
Qing Mu didn't explain, just smiled.
Yuan'er asked Guo Dagui's name, where he lived, etc., and talked with him warmly.
Seeing that his daughter was different from before, Wu said so many words to a kid, and he was worried and worried, so he walked up and whispered: "This thing is heavy, my mother will help you hold it." ”
Qing was dumb and afraid that she would lose it because she didn't know the use of the guqin, so she shook her head and still held it by herself.
At one time, Chang'er called Jin's mother to come, and Cai's had already weighed the dates and water chestnuts.
Jin's mother has never bought anything from the Guo family, so she naturally wants to taste it first; After tasting it, I asked the price; I asked the price, but it was too expensive, and the price was lowered.
Yuan'er said: "Ouch, Mother Jin, Chang'er and I have already tasted it." If it's not good, can you call you old? Don't lower the price if you're old. They are all from the villagers, and it is not easy for people to grow some things, and if they are sent to the town from afar, it will cost a few pennies, which is also deserved. Let's just say that this water chestnut, which is boiled with ingredients, tastes very fragrant. Needless to say, I just saw that this sister-in-law and aunt sold it at Liu's house, if it wasn't good, there wouldn't be so much left. You don't want to buy more! ”
Mother Jin laughed and said, "What's wrong with your kid today?" Is this your own aunt or the godmother you just recognized? Net helps others to speak. It's not like a buyer, it's like a seller. In the end, it is the person who is with the eldest young master, and he has a set of kung fu in his mouth. ”
As he spoke, everyone laughed in unison.
Seeing Yuan'er taking care of them like this, Wu was grateful and vigilant.
She hurriedly said: "This little brother is kind, and we can't be shallow." The eldest daughter-in-law, wipe all the odds, and count them according to the whole catty. ”
Mother Jin was embarrassed, so she didn't even say no, so she paid the bill.
While laughing, Yuan'er saw Qing'er standing quietly aside with the qin in his arms, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Miss Guo, do you know where to find someone to repair this qin?" ”
He didn't answer, but his eyes showed an inquiring look.
Guo Dagui hurriedly asked, "Where to find it?" Is it right in town? ”
Yuan'er shook her head and said, "There is a Tianyin Temple outside the city of Huzhou Mansion. There is a Tianyin Pavilion next to Tianyin Temple. The owner of Tianyin Pavilion is a master luthier. It's better to send it there to be repaired. ”
Guo Dagui shouted: "Huzhou Mansion City! So far! ”
He smiled hoarsely, without disappointment or emotion.
With the conditions of the Guo family, it is impossible for her to send the piano there to repair it.
When Yuan'er saw her look, she also knew that she had spoken in vain.
If you have the conditions to find the owner of Tianyin Pavilion, you will not buy this broken qin.
He couldn't help but worry about being dumb, what should he do if he took this broken piano back?
On the side, Cai's had already collected the money, and Wu hurriedly beckoned Guo Dagui and Qing Mu to leave.
Qingdun nodded slightly to Yuan'er.
Yuan'er immediately said, "Girl, go slowly." ”
He said to Guo Dagui again: "Brother Guo go slowly." ”
Guo Dagui smiled: "Thank you, Brother Yin." ”
After speaking, squatting down is about to pick up the burden.
However, one end of the burden put a box of old things sent by Yuan'er, but the other end was empty and could not be picked up. As soon as he thought about it, he leaned over and picked up Guo Qiao and put him in the bamboo basket, "Qiao'er, the third uncle is picking you." ”
A box and a baby, just balanced.
Guo Qiao shouted happily: "Okay." ”
Guo Dagui squatted down and left.
Yuan'er watched them turn around the corner of the house before retracting her gaze.
Besides, when they walked out of the back street, Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, she instinctively didn't want her daughter to talk to that kid more.
Now that everything was sold out, she was preoccupied with the purpose of her trip.
Because he glanced at Cai's and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, let's go over there." ”
He held the dumb arm and said, "Dumb, there are many people on the street, you follow your mother." ”
Cai Shi smiled earnestly: "Yes, yes." Dumb, let's go to the East Gate to cross that street. It's lively there. ”
Dumb nodded, and followed them on.
Guo Qiao raised his head and asked Cai's: "Auntie, do you sell food?" ”
Cai smiled: "Yes." There are a lot. ”
Guo Qiao smiled with satisfaction, turned his little head and looked around.
Along the way, Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law raised eyebrows, and said from time to time:
"Dumb, go this way."
"Dumb, this shop is good, go in and have a look."
Qing Mu is very obsessed with a qiē on the small street, but whenever you see a shop and food stall with a strong folk flavor, you have to stop and watch, or ask or buy, very leisurely.
Before I knew it, I was in front of a shop.
When I looked up, I saw the book "Jiangjia Bamboo Shop".
