After two days of being alone and chic, An Miaoyi's illness was all cured, and she became the little girl who was jumping around again, following Xia Yuanding's ass all day long and screaming "Young Master, Young Master", Xia Yuanding was very annoying!

There is a saying that pain and happiness are not appropriate for Xia Yuanding, but his contradictory mood is easy to understand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Finally, the apricots on the apricot trees at home are ripe, looking at them all with bright colors and red yellow, I really want to keep them for myself, but Xia Yuanding wants to restrain this desire!

After tasting two, Xia Yuanding has always been obsessed with this variety with thick skin, dark orange-red flesh, hard flesh, less fiber, and more leaf juice, and after a long time, he still has a sweet and sour taste in his mouth.

"Okay, you all go back, let's go to the town and sell the apricots and come back!"

This time, their father and son finally had to do a deal, and Xia Yuanding only agreed after grinding hard.

In Xia Yuanding's opinion, it is really not a good place to go to the town, and such a good apricots can be sold at a high price if they go to the county seat.

It can also be seen from this that Xia Shouzhi is not a greedy person, he sells worthless things, and he doesn't expect to earn much money back.

"Don't forget to come back and buy something!" Walking out of the distance, I heard Xia Li's loud reminder from behind.

Xia Shouzhi didn't look back, just raised the whip in his hand, went around in a circle, and signaled that he knew!

When the sun came out, Xia Yuanding regretted coming along, the scorching sun in summer was really unbearable, it almost scorched people, and the water he brought made the two of them drink it up.

On this part of the road, there is not all the shade of trees, and summer travel is really a test.

I couldn't stand it anymore, the ox cart stopped in the shade of a tree, and Xia Yuanding wiped the sweat drops from his forehead. He cursed his current clothes incomparably, this is to suffocate people to death, and his back is wet.

"Dad, isn't there a lake, why don't we go take a bath?" Xia Yuanding pointed to a sparkling lake and said.

After thinking about it, Xia Shouzhi said: "It's good for Dad to wash his face by the lake, you go into the water to wash it, remember not to forget to go deep in the water!"

After Xia Yuanding agreed, the two pulled the ox cart to the lake, and at this time Xia Yuanding could clearly feel the coolness.

couldn't bear it anymore, Xia Yuanding took off his essence and went into the water, he didn't dare to go deeper, he only dared to be at the water's edge, grabbing the rhizomes of the old trees growing by the lake, and it was safe.

Xia Yuanding really wanted to become a fish in the lake, wandering freely in the clear lake water, avoiding the heat of the hot summer.

It's not just the two of them, there's a straw hut built by the lake, and there's a fishing boat in the lake.

How can there be a female dependent, although he didn't see anyone, but Xia Yuanding heard laughter, and he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

Fortunately, there was an aquatic plant much higher than the water in the middle, and Xia Yuanding may not have been exposed.

can't stay any longer, Xia Yuanding hurriedly packed up and went ashore, otherwise if he was really seen, would he be considered a hooligan.

Continuing to hurry, Xia Yuanding felt much better, while looking at the surrounding scenery, while telling the story in his memory, Xia Shouzhi listened to it with relish, and laughed unbridled from time to time.

The town, when the father and son arrived, was not so lively, after all, the weather was not as pleasant as in spring, but they also sold these things in the shops.

When he came to the shop where he bought groceries, Xia Shouzhi asked his son to wait in the ox cart and ask him alone.

I haven't paid attention to it before, but I didn't expect this grocery store to be quite elegant, and unlike other stores, this rare couplet is written and hung outside the store.

"The leisure livelihood is small, and the chat is needed from time to time!"

This couplet couldn't be more ordinary, it seems that although the owner of this shop is a scholar, he doesn't pay much attention to the store, otherwise how can he not think of a good couplet for himself.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a scarf and goatee walked out with Xia Shouzhi.

When he arrived at the ox cart, Xia Shouzhi pointed to the apricot in the basket and said, "Shopkeeper Luo, look, that's all!" ”

When he arrived, the shopkeeper Luo was not polite, picked out a good looking apricot, wiped it with his clothes, and tasted it directly.

Xia Yuanding watched this shopkeeper eat his apricots, and he still ate with relish, and felt awkward in his heart, this was something he was reluctant to eat, just to sell more, he was not polite.

After singing, Shopkeeper Luo said: "Yes, yes, this apricot is indeed very good!" ”

Xia Shouzhi couldn't wait to say: "Then the shopkeeper, you can give a price!" ”

"Well, I'll give you three hundred wen, what do you think?"

As soon as he heard that it was three hundred Wen, Xia Shouzhi thought a lot, and he had to agree immediately, at this time, Xia Yuanding didn't do it, they worked hard to come here, how could they give three hundred Wen, this is too little!

"Dad, I think we can discuss it again!"

You know, he is in Fucheng, but he can get ten taels of silver casually, and a pair of couplets is worth ten taels, why are so many apricots worth this money.

For money, Xia Yuanding may have no concept, ten taels of silver is a huge amount of money, specific to this transaction, people have already given a lot, not to mention that this season, the price of apricots is not high.

"What's the matter, I still have to talk to Ling Lang about this deal?"

"Yuan Ding, you are honest, don't mix blindly!"

Xia Shouzhi was a little dissatisfied with his son's interjection, he felt that although his son was good at studying, he was good at buying and selling.

"Five hundred wen, if you don't sell it!" Xia Yuanding said directly to Shopkeeper Luo.

This opening, not only Xia Shouzhi was passive, but Shopkeeper Luo was also amused by Xia Yuanding's lion opening.

How can there be such a transaction, his surname Luo has not been doing business for a day or two, and if he really agrees to this request, it is really a violation of the rules. How do you calculate, those apricots are not worth 500 yuan, this is obviously vexatious.

"Since you think it's a loss to sell it to me, then you better find a home, but you are so open-mouthed, you don't want to accept it compared to other shops!" After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper Luo turned around and left.

Eat deflated......

Xia Yuanding didn't expect that people didn't want to talk to him at all, which made Xia Yuanding blush with shame, and he felt an unpleasant anger in his heart, he was really slapped in the face in public!

"I'll just say it, don't fool around, look at it, people don't buy it, let's go find the next house!" Xia Shouzhi shook his head and said regretfully, this remark was tantamount to mending the knife in Xia Yuanding's heart.

Originally, Xia Yuanding wanted to rely on his knowledge of how many generations he had surpassed to move the buyers, just to be able to sell at a good price, but this time his self-confidence was frustrated, and Xia Yuanding became depressed.

"So where are we going?"

"There are a few big families in this town, let's go there and have a look!" Xia Shouzhi said.

The Dong family, the Lin family, and the Yang family, the mansions of these three families alone are almost half the size of the town, and it is not too much to say that they are local heroes.

"What are you doing?"

When he came to the door of the Lin Mansion, the gate was closed, and the Lin family, who was guarding at the side gate, watched a bull cart approaching and stopped him.

"This little brother, we are countrymen, how about you taste the apricots produced in the family?" As he spoke, Xia Shouzhi took out the apricots from the basket and handed them to the family of the Lin Mansion.

"Go and go, if you want to sell apricots, you actually want to sell them to our Lin Mansion, don't you know that our Lin Mansion has a hundred acres of orchards, and there will be a lack of these, hurry up and sell them elsewhere!" The family didn't take the apricots handed over by Xia Shouzhi, and hurriedly waved his hand to drive people away, looking impatient.

Looking at this bad attitude, Xia Yuanding was also angry, and he was about to fight back, but he was pulled away by Xia Shouzhi, he felt that it was better not to make trouble in front of others.

went to the next house to take a look, around an alley, the two came to the door of Dong's house again, this time it was the same as the previous time, it was still rejected, Xia Yuanding's anger was accumulating little by little!

If it was in time for the market when there were many people, the street vendors might have disposed of the apricots they brought, and if they still did this now, it would have been a lot of delay, and they might not be able to go back today.

The last big family, the Yang family, is separated from the Dong family by an alley, and generally speaking, the two of them are opposite the door.

"This little brother, will you taste my apricot first?"

This Yang family's family member is relatively young, and it seems that he should be a good talker. In fact, he also really ate the apricots handed over by Xia Shouzhi, and after eating, he said a good word, and then!

"Big brother, it's not that I don't help you, in fact, many people have been here these days, my lord has already given an order, if you have these, don't bring them home, I really can't help you, I'm sorry!"

When Xia Yuanding heard this, he felt a little regretful, and he also thought in his heart, you are a slippery head, you ate our apricots, but in the end you didn't do anything, and you don't understand the world.

"Dad, I ......"

Xia Yuanding wanted to be brave once and admit his recklessness, this is the price of ignorance.

"Okay, Yuan Ding, you don't understand the things that are bought and sold, how can my father blame you, we can always sell it if you look for us slowly!"

At this time, Xia Yuanding could already imagine the scene of the two of them walking through the streets and alleys to sell!

It's just that this artistic conception is not so beautiful, and the season is not right, people are "Xiaolou listens to the spring rain overnight, and sells apricot blossoms in the deep alleys of the Ming Dynasty", they are sweat droplets into rain, and the ox cart is desolate.

"You guys leave quickly, our master is coming out, and I will blame you when I am reprimanded!"

Xia Shouzhi was already about to turn around and leave, but he heard laughter from far and near.

said that it was too late, it was fast, and in the gap between the Yang family's people and the Yang family, the Yang family master had already walked out.

There is another person next to each other, it seems that someone should be a guest, and Master Yang personally sent it to the door!

"Brother Shiheng, please stay, I'll go back first, and I'll bother next time!"

"Where did Ming Yuan speak, if you don't come, I'll talk to anyone!"

Xia Yuanding looked at it, it was really a coincidence, and he actually met someone he knew. The person who came to Yang Mansion as a guest was none other than Fei Mingyuan, who had a relationship with him, what Xia Yuanding didn't expect was that this person looked like he was twenty or thirty years old, but he didn't expect that he would already be a showman.

The scene of this meeting was a little awkward, and when Fei Mingyuan noticed them, Xia Yuanding and his father were driven away by the Yang Mansion's family.

"Brother Shiheng, wait a minute, I'll introduce you to the old man!" Seeing this scene, Fei Mingyuan shouted at the old man.

Yang Shiheng was very surprised, how could a farmer and a child still know Mingyuan, it could be his close neighbor. Looking at the basket on the oxcart, Yang Shiheng understood that it might be a friend who wanted to help the father and son, and that was the case was a matter of help, and he could do this favor.

During the days when Xia Yuanding was taking the exam, Fei Mingyuan went to Dushan Village to visit Xia Jizu, and he could be regarded as having some friendship with their Xia family.

"You two, can you please introduce me?"

Listening to such words, Xia Shouzhi was a little uncomfortable, Xia Yuanding reacted quickly, nodded and expressed his approval.

"Brother Shiheng, they are from Dushan Village, which is not far from here, the Xia family is a family of poets and scholars, this little boy has already passed the government test?"

Hearing Fei Mingyuan's introduction, Yang Shiheng was shocked and didn't dare to despise it anymore. In the final analysis, the affairs of this township are not what they say, and it is their daily work to make friends with prestigious and powerful people.

Xia Yuanding has always been very low-key, but this time it was someone else who was exposing his low, not too much, I didn't expect that as soon as I heard that he was a scholar, even Master Yang's attitude was different, and then look at the family who drove people, are you weak-hearted, raise your head for me.

Today, Xia Yuanding is not having a good time, he was rejected by three families, and it is not good to be a teacher, if he didn't meet an acquaintance, it might have become a stain on his life!
