Chapter Eighty-Three: The Female Driver
The busier he was, the more he felt that the days flew by, and when the wasteland was beautifully erected with more than half a circle of neat courtyard walls, Ah Yuan was preparing to go to the town again, and the first thing to do was the procurement of food, and the ration problem of more than 20 men could not be underestimated.
"It is estimated that there will be two more days to seal the riverside and connect it with the fields in the village, even if the big work is completed, the rest of the small bits and pieces will be easy for our own brothers to do." Boss Bai sent his daughter-in-law and sister out of the village, his eyes full of anxiety.
The first time I drove an ox cart, I was afraid of a safety accident, the two women went out, afraid of being bullied, and I didn't let them go, and the food was bought at a high price in the village, and the daughter-in-law was carrying a large string of treasures to send to Mrs. Lu, saying that it was necessary to use, the sooner the better!
That's why there is a farewell to the village entrance of "ten miles to send each other", but it is the hero and heroine who have swapped positions, the female is high-spirited and wants to leave quickly, and the male is slimy and thousands of instructions.
"Chengguang, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts!" Ah Yuan's head was stunned, he had never been talked about like this in his previous life, and he had caught up with Tang Seng in "Journey to the West"!
"Your daughter-in-law and I are born with a good life, and every evil turns into good fortune, and when I am in trouble, I become auspicious! There's a kitchen knife on the cart, let's go!
She flicked the whip and went on the road, as if it was fresh or something, but I didn't expect that the sentence that Zuihou dropped scared the man behind her even more, and the woman who went out with a kitchen knife wouldn't really invite disaster, right?
Ah Yuan was happy, the first time he drove an ox cart, it was almost the same as the first time he grabbed the steering wheel to drive a car, and there were few pedestrians on the road.
"Sister-in-law, stop playing!" Xiao Cailian really can't see it. Worried that he would not be able to reach the town by noon, he slapped the wooden handrail of the car in protest.
Ah Yuan stuck out his tongue, sat up straight, looked back at the little girl's face and the Bai family's grandmother's expression, sighed and said: "Children's family, smile more, it's not good to have a gloomy face, and - are you really not interested in driving ox carts?" You don't try? β
"I-no-try!" Xiao Cailian is about to get out of anger, this sister-in-law is driving by herself, and she is still learning to drive by herself. My ideal is to be a "lady", what kind of "lady" is it to drive an oxcart with a whip?
The little girl has a new hairstyle today, and the girl has three fake flowers the size of her finger belly on each bun. Two round colored beads hung from the center of the flower, shaking slightly.
That's not all, the clean jacket placket is also sewn with fake flowers, and the head is a series, as novel as it is. It's more beautiful than the lace that is embroidered so hard!
How can such a beautiful outfit be ruined into the image of an ox cart?
"Sister-in-law, you said it too late, if I had known that I would be in town today, I would have sewn this little flower on the trouser legs and heels in advance," the little girl sighed. What a chance to show off so imperfectly!
Ah Yuan is really convinced at the moment, look at the extent of people's love for beauty, and grow up. It's absolutely incredible!
"Don't worry about Cailian, you are still young, there are still many opportunities to be beautiful, next time, my sister-in-law will notify you three days in advance to prepare for the trip. Give the first half a day to comb your hair and wipe your face, okay? β
Cai Lian's face turned half red. The slender eyes glared: "Sister-in-law, people are not for their own stinky beauty, didn't they bring out those fake flower ornaments we made, I thought that I could sell them if I used them?" β
Ah Yuan touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, such a simple business concept was thought of in advance by an ancient person, are you ashamed?
Speaking of which, the younger siblings of the Bai family, despite the small problems in their personalities, are really all human spirits, is this the reason why their parents have good genes because they cross large regions?
The two sisters-in-law were familiar with the road, and the big scalper was well-behaved and obedient, and they walked into the town smoothly along the way.
I went to Lu Mansion to visit Li Wei first, and the concierge's attitude was very friendly, and he automatically offered to take care of the ox cart on his behalf, and let the two sisters-in-law go in.
Cailian is a girl, and there are no restrictions on the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, Ah Yuan took the little girl's arm and encouraged her spirits.
Usually can barely hold on, according to Ah Yuan's requirements, this step into a big family, that cramped footsteps revealed the word "cowardice".
Therefore, age is very important, experience is very important, and Ah Yuan is determined to take the little girl out for a walk.
As soon as she arrived in the inner courtyard, the little maid who led the way was replaced by a maid, and Cailian's eyes began to be busy, she was not interested in the flower terrace pavilion in the courtyard, but she was the only one who could not see beautiful clothes and hairstyles, as well as the thin makeup on the faces of the little maids who met on the road, and the eyebrows and red lips were all good-looking and tight!
"Sister-in-law, their eyebrows are so beautifully drawn, I've never seen anything like thisβ" the little girl sighed in a low voice, clutching Yuan's fingers tightly.
The maids in the big family are naturally more fashionable than the women in the village in the market, and it is no wonder that the little "Chai He Niuer" is dazzled by Grandma Liu's first entry into the Grand View Garden.
In fact, like this kind of dizzy eyebrows, horizontal smoke eyebrows, but the moon eyebrows and other three eyebrow styles are from the Tang Dynasty, Ah Yuan has also seen in the book, although the Great Song Dynasty turned a big bend when the founding of the country, but in the women's clothing and makeup has not been greatly affected, women's eyebrows roughly inherited the Tang Dynasty and the aftermath of the five dynasties, just gradually become beautiful.
"Wait a while, you'll see Mrs. Lu, and you'll be amazed!" Ah Yuan just grabbed the little girl so as not to get lost, so he searched around with her eyes.
"Then, is Mrs. Lu good-looking or 'Tofu Shih-Tzu' good-looking?" There are so many questions about the little girl, and they are all about beauty and good-looking topics, and if you change a parent to follow, you will have to scold the "shallow" if you have a crooked nose.
"Don't you know what to see? This cannot be compared together. The corners of Ah Yuan's mouth twitched, and the little maid who led the way was already unhappy on her face, because you are comparing someone's wife with an ordinary merchant woman, you know, the concept of dignity and inferiority in this era is very solid.
Finally walked into Mrs. Lu's guest room, and Lu Liu hurriedly welcomed in, saying that Mrs. had some trouble to deal with, and called Steward Lu to come and take care of it.
Xiao Cailian was very disappointed, Ah Yuan could understand, there are many benefits in the big family, and in the same way, there are a lot of troubles, and she came to send things by herself, as long as the purpose is achieved.
So, he left Luliu to explain the use of "portable moxibustion" and the acupuncture points for Mrs. Lu's problem, and did not let Luliu leave until he remembered it clearly.
Steward Lu had been waiting outside the guest room for a long time, and as soon as he came in, he greeted him with a series of greetings: "Hello Madame Bai!" Hello Miss Bai! I don't know if the second white brother is okay? The little one hasn't seen him for half a month! β
Ah Yuan had learned to bow and took his sister to meet Steward Lu and expressed his gratitude for his enthusiastic help.
"Don't say that! Mrs. Bai is good friends with our wife, and the little one should do her best, but don't be polite to the little one! Then the two white brothers - when will they be free? Steward Lu's expression was a little hesitant, and he didn't know what to say.
Ah Yuan muttered in his heart, Li Wei didn't meet, and Manager Lu was strange, if it wasn't for our cooperation, it was going to be disassembled, right?
"What? Is there anything inappropriate about my second brother's actions? Just say, I'll argue with him when I go back! "Ah Yuan is tentative.
"No, it's not-", Steward Lu waved his hand again and again: "It is said that this matter has to be discussed with the second brother Bai-".
Ah Yuan smiled: "Steward Lu tell me, I can also be part of the family when it comes to the second brother's business!" β
Women are also in charge of business? Steward Lu was quite rare, raised his eyelids slightly and peeked at it, and then quickly drooped down.
"That's the case, the matter of the cooperation between the Lu Mansion and the Bai Second Brothers, I already have a clue here, just three days later, there is a car to go to the capital, I want to bring some Ga Shi lamps and Ga Shi to sell it, as well as the county seat and the provincial capital, several shops in Lu Mansion have said that they have purchased the goods, and now they are waiting for things, but the Bai Second Brother has not come for a long time-", Lu Steward really looked very anxious.
"What's so hard about that?" Ah Yuan smiled and said six teeth: "I'll arrange it when I go home today, but the number of Gashi lamps is not much, and there are only a family of three who give us processing work, and the workload of a whole day is only a few dozen lamps at most." There is also our wasteland with Gashi, that is, an area of more than ten acres, I don't know how many Gashi are hidden underground, and when our business is spread, will it not be enough? β
As the saying goes, "If an expert stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one", Ah Yuan said this, and Steward Lu was in awe, it sounded that this village woman who had a good relationship with her wife had a very clear mind, and she was no stranger to doing business at all!
This time, Steward Chang Lu thought seriously for a long time, and then made a decision: "Can you let the little one go back with you to see how long this stone can be sold?" There is also the Naga stone lamp, this speed is not enough, can you find a few more blacksmiths to cooperate, three days later, the capital will set off, and the small one really wants to show Master Lu a fresh! β
Master Lu, is the Lu family's biggest reliance in this town, right? Presenting the new thing "Ga Shi Lamp" may not make the old man happy, and maybe it will be of great use.
Let Steward Lu personally go to the "Confusion Array", of course it will do, a good thing that you can't ask for! Originally, I still pulled the tiger skin of Lu Mansion as a banner, but now, "Tiger Skin" goes down by itself, tsk, this time the drama of "Fox Fake Tiger Might", we can star more realistically!
