Chapter 59: The Doubling Rabbit
"The charcoal is halved, the silver is halved, a total of five taels and two hundred and eighty wen, and the family is divided into two taels and six hundred and forty wen." Qi Jiuli had already figured out the charcoal.
Chi Lingmiao gave Qi Jiuli the whole purse he got from Steward Qiu, and then gave the silver money he got from Qiuwei Restaurant two taels and eight hundred and eighty wen, and counted two hundred and forty wen to Qi Jiuli, and put them in the purse, "This purse is for you." β
"This is for the eldest uncle by Steward Qiu, and I go to Jinshui Town to wear men's clothes, where can I get such a good-looking purse." Qi Jiuli refused.
"You don't have to, you can give Shika." Chi Lingmiao said as a matter of course, "I'm so old that it's even more inappropriate." β
"The eldest aunt is at the age of being as beautiful as a flower, where is it not suitable." Qi Jiuli said.
Hearing this, Chi Lingmiao laughed directly, hugged Qi Jiuli tightly in his arms and rubbed it, "Oh, why is it so painful." β
Qi Jiuli divided two of the silver ingots he got to Chi Lingmiao.
"Here's what to do." Chi Lingmiao glared at Qi Jiuli with disgust, "The dishes, sauces, and spices are all up to you, and I have to have a conscience to accept this money." β
"What's more, the money in the purse in your hand is used to buy medicinal herbs, and the capital is also paid by yourself." Chi Lingmiao pointed to the Lamei purse in Qi Jiuli's hand and said, "Keep it all, save it for Qizhu, if you want to continue to take the exam, you need to use more money, and you have also reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, in another two years, you should also get married, and now it is time to save a dowry for yourself." β
"Auntie, the eighth cousin also has to take the exam, he ......"
"He has his father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law, where do you want to prepare money." Chi Lingmiao said, "Uncle Niang knows that you are kind-hearted, and I am also straight, if it is really not enough, I will definitely open my mouth to you." β
"Jiuli, your aunt is right, put it away, you can't say how you got this money." Qi Shan admonished.
Qi Jiuli's heart was full, full of warmth, "I know." β
"As long as I think about selling charcoal to Autumn Flavor Restaurant every month in the future, my heart will be hot." Chi Lingmiao was very satisfied, "This year, it is much more profitable than raising pigs and farming." β
Qi Shan also smiled, looking forward to the future, "Wait for a year or two, repair the house, and then build a new house for Basong, and marry him a daughter-in-law, then we can worry less." β
"He doesn't know when he will be able to settle down, and he can't compare with Qizhu." Chi Lingmiao said, "Hey, I'm still more worried about Qizhu now, I'm afraid of ...... when someone like Feng Yunxia is in front of me."
Qi Shan was also silent when he heard this, "Okay, children have their own fate. β
"Yes, yes, when Qizhu wins Xiucai, the family background will be richer, and there will be more people to kiss." Chi Lingmiao said, "I hope to treat the three of Jiuli, Shixiang and Eleven well." β
"Qizhu is a brain, he can't think of it." Qi Shan replied.
Qi Jiuli was silent on the side, yes, what kind of sister-in-law should I find?
"Quickly put away the purse and the money, there is someone in front." Qi Shan drove the donkey cart and saw the backs of the two women walking in front of him, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
"Don't worry, it's all set." Chi Lingmiao touched the stable place, and looked carefully at the broken mattress, which was empty and safe.
"It's the glorious daughter-in-law." After Chi Lingmiao made sure that everything was safe, she looked carefully at the figure in front of her, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lizheng family, who is the other one, why can't I see it?" β
"Glorious daughter-in-lawβ" Chi Lingmiao shouted loudly.
The two people walking in front turned around at the same time, and a woman wearing an apricot-colored long jacket and a silver hairpin smiled when she saw Chi Lingmiao, "Sister Lingmiao." β
Qi Jiuli looked carefully and thought of Qi Renxing, the two had the same pair of big apricot eyes, and they were Lizheng's daughter-in-law, so they wouldn't be Qi Renxing's mother.
"Glorious daughter-in-law, get on the donkey cart, who is this?" The other person, Chi Lingmiao, really didn't know him.
"Sister Lingmiao, this is my sister-in-law." The woman smiled and introduced, and Chi Lingmiao invited people to the donkey cart.
"Jiuli, you look very energetic today." The woman looked at Qi Jiuli with a smile in her eyes.
"We went to the town to sell firewood, and they couldn't stay idle in Jiuli, and they picked up a lot, so they went with us today, and they worked hard to add some copper coins." Chi Lingmiao explained with a smile, "Jiuli, this is your Xiuxiu aunt, you kid, why are you stupid." β
"Hello Aunt Xiuxiu, I just looked at your eyes, and when I thought of Renxing, I was stunned all of a sudden." Qi Jiuli touched his head embarrassedly and said.
"The last time the child came back from you, he kept talking about you, and now he sees you and knows that you are well, and the aunt is relieved." Weng Xiuxiu touched Qi Jiuli's face with pity, "Go to your aunt from time to time, Renxing will be very happy to see you." β
Qi Jiuli smiled stupidly, "Aunt Xiuxiu, thank you for your concern, I'm fine, next time Renxing is free, I'll go and play with her." β
After that, Qi Jiuli basically didn't talk much, just listened to Chi Lingmiao chatting with Weng Xiuxiu, as well as her sister-in-law and the three women, knowing that Weng Xiuxiu's mother's family had a new child, and her sister-in-law specially came to find Lizheng in Qiliangou, Weng Xiuxiu's father-in-law, and asked him to name the child.
Qi Shan and Chi Lingmiao sent Qi Jiuli home first, and then drove the donkey cart back to their home.
Qi Jiuli knocked on the door and called the names of Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi.
"Squeak-" Qi Shixiangxing hurriedly opened the door, welcomed Qi Jiuli into the door, helped take the empty bamboo basket, and after bolting the door, he looked at Qi Jiuli with glowing eyes.
"Sister, it's all sold?"
"Hmm." Qi Jiuli nodded arrogantly, "Don't look at how powerful your sister is, why can't she sell it." β
"The rabbit was sold too?" Qi Shixiang then asked.
"Of course." Qi Jiuli sold Guan Zi and said, "Guess how much that rabbit sold?" β
"Two hundred?" Qi Shixiang asked expectantly.
Qi Jiuli stretched out four fingers and looked at Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi complacently.
"Four hundred?" Qi Shiyi asked in shock.
"Sister, did you really sell so much?" Qi Shixiang couldn't believe it.
"Sold to Steward Qiu, and Steward Qiu gave more." Qi Jiuli said.
"Steward Qiu is so good."
"But you can't say so much to the outside world, it's just two hundred words." Qi Jiuli admonished.
After putting the bamboo basket away, Qi Jiuli took out the purse, counted fifty copper coins out, and put the rest away, "It's time to come to the door." β
"What?"
"Knock knockβ"
"Jiuli, I'm my aunt, when I helped your family turn over the land today, I picked a lot of water celery in the field, and I specially sent some to you." Feng Diehua shouted loudly outside the house.
