Chapter 50: Crossing the Street

"Childe......" Finch lowered her head, her hands were cold.

"No need to hide." Lin Jianqiu pulled her into his arms: "You are my mother-in-law, let's get the house done today, and then I will go to ask my mother about how to marry in the evening, don't worry, if the girl next to me has it, you will have it, and you will have it." ”

The finch raised its head in his arms, and her eyes turned red.

"However, marrying you will take time, and it will be tomorrow at the earliest." Lin Jianqiu looked at the group of women by the river, gritted his teeth, and patted his hand gently on the back of the finch.

When the group of women saw Lin Jianqiu stretch out his hand to hold the finch's hand, they laughed even more and more.

"But I can't bear this anger." Lin Jianqiu's hand clenched into a fist.

"Childe...... You...... You...... What are you going to do? Que'er was a little scared, she hurriedly said: "It's not in the way, when I was in Hualou, I didn't hear any ugly words?" It's nothing. ”

"It was in Hualou, and now it's by my Lin Jianqiu's side. If you say it behind your back, you can't control it, and you dare to say this to your face, you can't bear it! Lin Jianqiu said, walking towards the river, the finch followed two steps forward, and he turned around: "Go back to the house and stay." ”

Que'er wanted to keep up for a while, but she had to listen to Lin Jianqiu's words, and she was worried and annoyed.

If only I weren't a flower house girl! She thought to herself.

In the end, Que'er still listened to Lin Jianqiu's words and went back to her room. But she searched around the room, pulled a bamboo pole, took it in her hand, and poked her head out secretly.

A look of being ready to come out and desperately protect the Lord.

I saw Lin Jianqiu swaggering to the river, stretched out his hand and arched his hand towards the women on the other side of the river: "Fellow villagers, do you know who has a sedan chair?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the women were stunned.

"Childe, are you going to get married? There is a trade in marrying a wife, and the one on the east is. An old woman replied in a loud voice.

"Definitely!" Lin Jianqiu waved his hand, stretched out his finger and pointed to the small dilapidated house: "The house has not been repaired yet, and when it is repaired, you can marry a beautiful woman, otherwise I am afraid that I will be wronged!" In just these two days, please come and eat and drink at that time! ”

As soon as Lin Jianqiu's voice fell, several women looked at each other, very shocked.

"Listening to what this son said, does he really want to marry that flower building chick?"

"Hey, he's also poor, it's good to marry a mother-in-law, so naturally I won't pick it up."

A few women, you say a word, I say a word. The tone is very sour, after all, Lin Jianqiu is dignified, and the finch is really beautiful, the woman's jealousy is unstoppable.

"Then what are you going to do with the sedan chair?" The old woman asked again.

"I'm going to take the girl to buy some things, a bed, a futon, and some dresses she likes." Lin Jianqiu laughed: "I'm afraid I'm tired of her, so I want to rent a sedan chair, I don't know if there is such a deal in this flower city?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the women exploded instantly.

"Did you hear that, he said that he wanted to get a sedan chair, just to go shopping for the chicks, for fear of tiring the girl."

"It's not far away, how tired can it be?"

"Is this little guy so rich? There is still spare money to rent a sedan chair? ”

"I heard that it was Lin Gongzi from the Golden Academy of Fine Arts, the one who painted a very beautiful painting, this son is very talented......"

"Don't bully the young man to be poor, this girl has really climbed the high branches! Don't you shout so loudly at the chicks......

In the midst of everyone's discussions, after a while, a two-person sedan chair came, Lin Jianqiu looked over, this place is densely covered with bamboo, and sure enough, it is made of bamboo.

I saw that although this side of the sedan chair is small, it is very exquisite, and there are beautiful embroidered curtains on it.

"Childe, this is a good sedan chair, the last time Li Gongzi held a birthday, he rented this kind of sedan chair, and he rented a hundred of them!" The young man carrying the sedan chair, full of tendon meat, although he is a small citizen, he speaks with great grace.

This made Lin Jianqiu feel very novel.

When he asked if he had carried a sedan chair, he was still a little worried, and he didn't know if there were rules for who could sit in a sedan chair and who couldn't in this era. After all, people in ancient times were divided into three, six, nine and so on, noble and lowly.

I just thought to myself, I feel that the local legal system is very imperfect, and even the currency is not unified, so I guess there will be no requirements for this. But I really didn't expect that the business of carrying a sedan chair was in full swing at this time.

Think about it, this official family marries a wife and has children, and the official family may have its own sedan chair, but it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings. Not to mention what kind of banquet the rich family wants to hold and pick up and drop off people.

Come to think of it, the people in this land of China have not changed for thousands of years in many ways. Modern people are renting cars, and there was such a mature business of renting a sedan chair in ancient times, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to believe.

"Well, I'm tired." Lin Jianqiu looked at the sedan chair and was quite satisfied.

"But...... Childe, this ......" The lauder smiled, looked at the dilapidated room behind Lin Jianqiu, and then looked at his little dress, and stretched out his hand: "Rent for half a day, ten gold pieces, rent all the way, three gold pieces." ”

This price is more expensive than Lin Jianqiu imagined. You must know that a piece of gold can buy two pieces of cloth. Ten pieces of gold, that's a month's ration for an ordinary family.

Seeing that Lin Jianqiu was stunned, Lao Fu was a little impatient, and explained: "Son, this rental sedan chair, we are going to pump water for the government, it is naturally expensive." ”

Sure enough, these thousands of years of people have really not changed much.

This government, even this thing is taxed?! And it's also a heavy tax.

It can be seen that the middle class in this era is not having a good time. Only the middle class need to rent a sedan chair, the really rich have enough in their own homes, and the common people don't rent it.

It's really a long time to see...... Lin Jianqiu couldn't help laughing.

"You're robbing! So expensive! Que'er ran out of the room and pulled Lin Jianqiu's sleeve: "Childe, it's not far away, let's go by ourselves, Que'er is not a rich lady, this is a sedan chair that a rich lady sits on......"

"Where are you not a rich lady? You used to be an official lady. Lin Jianqiu stretched out his hand, picked her up, and stuffed her directly into the sedan chair. He took out ten pieces of gold from his bosom and threw them to Nalauf.

"Carry it well, don't startle her." Lin Jianqiu said loudly.

"Yes, Childe!" Lauf's eyes lit up, he could be regarded as having a long experience, the first time he saw such a dilapidated house, he actually rented a sedan chair, even if it was forgotten, he actually rented it for half a day!

So the two of them nodded their heads, one after the other, and listened to the instructions and prepared to set off.

One by one, the women on the other side of the river stretched their necks, their eyes about to fly out, and looked enviously at the finches sticking their heads out of the palanquin.

Lin Jianqiu took out the things that had been made at night from the room and handed them to Qi'er, seeing that Qi'er looked distressed, she stretched out her hand and touched her face: "Don't be nervous, from today on, you will be my Lin Jianqiu's woman, and you have nothing to do with Hualou." Lift your head, and in time, I'll make you a rich lady. Oh no, Rich Madame. ”

As he spoke, he stood next to the sedan chair and snapped his fingers: "Go!" Today, cross the street and make money! ”
