Chapter 009
Compared to Ye Shen's uncertainties, Ye Zhan was a little excited.
All the way to Wanfuchi, Ye Zhan paid attention to it in his heart.
No, as soon as he arrived at Wanfuchi, he locked on the target of peddling, and stepped forward to sell it with a delicate makeup dowry filled with cherries.
Ye Zhan's target was a group of pilgrims who had just retired from the Wanfu Pond.
Coincidentally, it was the first family that Master Huineng selected for Lin Wan, that is, the Lin family, the largest merchant in Qingzhou Mansion.
The cherries that have just been picked from the trees in the early morning are ruddy and plump, and they are even more eye-catching against the backdrop of the emerald green lotus leaves.
The eyes of the ladies and girls who were following Mrs. Lin lit up instantly, and the little boy who was held tightly by Mrs. Lin looked straight at her, and even subconsciously swallowed several times of saliva.
Mrs. Lin gave a look to the grandmother beside her, and the grandmother reached out and grabbed a few cherries from the lotus leaf that Ye Zhan was holding, and the little maid took the initiative to take the water bladder she carried with her to assist the grandmother in cleaning the cherries.
After washing with water, the old lady took the snow-white handkerchief handed by the little maid and wiped the cherries again and again, and then carefully stuffed the cherries into the little boy's mouth.
Seriously, this cherry is really a very small one, but when I bite it lightly, I suddenly feel that my mouth is full of sweet and slightly sour juice, and the little boy can't help but squint his eyes with satisfaction.
The little boy spit out the small cherry pit in his mouth, obviously very fond of the Ye family's cherries, stared at the little makeup in Ye Zhan's arms for a moment, raised his head and said to Old Lady Lin: "Great-grandmother, it's delicious!" ”
This little boy is obviously the heart of the old lady, the old lady is the most useful person around Mrs. Lin, the little boy just said "delicious" so simply, without Mr. Lin opening his mouth, the old lady stuffed a small piece of broken silver into Ye Zhan's hand without saying a word, and then snatched the little makeup with cherries that Ye Zhan was holding and handed it directly to the little maid beside him, which was so fast that Ye Zhan couldn't react.
"Hey, basket!" However, Ye Zhan was a clever person in the end, and he was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, pointing to the makeup who was tightly held in his arms by the maid.
Although a small piece of silver was stuffed in his hand, Ye Zhan didn't want to give a small makeup like this.
The grandmother glared at Ye Zhan: "Could it be that the broken silver is not enough to buy this cherries and basket?!" ”
Ye Zhan checked the broken silver in his hand, this piece of broken silver was not one or two but eight yuan, and it was naturally enough to buy cherries and baskets.
It's just that he specially used the makeup and book basket to sell cherries here, but he had ulterior motives, and he wanted to see if he could take this opportunity to sell the makeup and book baskets carefully woven by his grandfather and sell them at a good price.
Now this old lady will take the makeup directly away, what will he use to sell?!
Without waiting for Ye Zhan to say anything, the old lady saw Ye Zhan staring at the basket that had been held in her arms by the little maid, and she could see at a glance that Ye Zhan didn't want to give them the basket, and her own little son was afraid that Ye Zhan would not want to sell the cherries to them and would hold the small basket tightly, so she stretched out her hand and pushed Ye Zhan, and scolded the old face: "I said boy, do you know what it means to accept it when you see it?" You don't want to be cheap, and you sell well! ”
Ye Zhan didn't like this old woman's attitude, and when he was pushed by this old woman, he was immediately a little annoyed: "What do you push!" It's great to have silver, just a small piece of silver, I'm not rare, you take the silver back, and give me back the cherries and baskets! ”
The Chen family, who was peddling with Ye Qing to another group of ladies and wives, and Ye Damin, who was standing aside with Ye Shen in his arms, saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly surrounded him.
Mrs. Lin has been standing aside to watch the play since the beginning, and at this time she saw that things were frozen, but the baby great-great-grandson couldn't put down the cherries, and besides, it was really inappropriate for an occasion like today to make a disturbance because of such a trivial matter.
I heard her cough heavily and said, "Yuezhu, since the cherries and peaches sold by other children do not include baskets, don't embarrass others." Doesn't Haruka have an empty basket in her hand, just pour the cherries into our own basket. ”
At this time, the Chen family had already asked about the situation, took the broken silver from Ye Zhan's hand and checked it, and naturally knew it in his heart, glanced at Ye Zhan, slapped him on the shoulder, and then turned to Old Taijun Lin with a smile on his face: "My grandson is not sensible, please ask Old Taijun to be lenient." ”
Seeing that his grandmother had to apologize for herself with a shy face because of her insistence, Ye Zhan was really ashamed, ashamed and a little unconvinced, and even more displeased with the old grandmother who snatched the basket, and couldn't help muttering: "It's not an ordinary basket, it's a makeup that Grandpa made with a lot of effort!" ”
"Brother Zhan!" Although Ye Zhan said the truth, he was still lightly reprimanded by Ye Damin.
Ye Zhan had no choice but to close his mouth, and the corners of his pursed lips clearly revealed the unhappiness in his heart.
"Grandpa's basket has a mechanism!" But at this time, Ye Shen, who had always seemed a little absent-minded, suddenly opened his mouth, and the crisp voice unique to young children in the midst of the crowd focused the eyes of all the ladies of the Lin family on the makeup who was tightly held in the arms of the maid.
"There are still mechanisms in this basket, who are you fooling!" The old lady obviously didn't believe it, looked her eyes up and down at the makeup, and said disapprehantly.
Everyone in the Lin family naturally thinks that Mama is reasonable, this small basket contains a mechanism, who believes it?!
Ye Shen was held in Ye Damin's arms, and naturally the expressions of everyone present were clear.
Although he is only a four or five-year-old child now, he can't let his family be looked down upon, so he showed some impatient expressions on his face at the right time, and Ye Shen at this moment is a child who is afraid that others will not believe him.
I saw him pouting and saying loudly: "Yes, yes, can you see the red dot on the basket?" There's a mechanism there. Trouble that pretty sister to press the red dot. ”
However, the toddler of four or five years old, although his face looks a little unhealthy, speaks very modestly and has a sweet mouth, which is really annoying.
The maid holding the makeup didn't move, and the other maid standing next to her moved her hand, and according to Ye Shen's instructions, she gently pressed the red dot on the basket, only to hear a soft sound of "da", and a small drawer popped out lightly from the side.
There's really a mechanism!
"It's a makeup!" Standing side by side with the little boy was a girl of about ten, I saw her eyes light up and blurted out, she was some distance away from Ye Zhan, and she didn't hear what Ye Zhan said just now, so she naturally didn't know that this was a makeup.
This design is also too ingenious, such a basket is really wasteful to hold cherries, oops, I love it!
"That's right, it's makeup!" Seeing the liking in the girl's eyes, Ye Zhan smiled proudly and secretly gave Ye Shen a thumbs up.
"Ancestor, I like this makeup." Since the mechanism was opened, the girl's eyes were glued to the makeup, and at this moment she deliberately pulled Mrs. Lin's sleeve and shook it again and again.
The little boy was naturally attracted by the organ, originally because he liked cherries, a little hand has been holding the basket, and now he is even more reluctant to let go, hearing the girl ask the old lady for makeup, he immediately glanced at the girl and shouted: "Mine mine, the cherry basket is mine!" ”
