Chapter Eighty-Six: Here Comes the Opportunity
After walking forward from Xiangying's grandmother's house for a while, Chen Wen began to feel hot, so he turned around and went home.
Today's sun is too poisonous.
Chen Wen tried to walk all the way to a place where there was no sun under the tree, and put his sleeves on his forehead, so that he could cover his eyes and see the road ahead.
So, Chen Wen directly lowered his head and didn't look at the road. Anyway, she has walked this road many times, so she should be able to walk it in the dark......
Chen Wen confidently felt that he could walk in the dark, but as he walked, he bumped into someone.
The thin Chen Wen took a big step back after being knocked out, but fortunately stabilized his figure. The man remained steady, but the book in his hand fell to the ground.
Realizing that he hadn't looked at the road, Chen Wen was so weak that he hurriedly squatted down to help him pick up the book, and then bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry." ”
When he raised his eyes and saw people, he was stunned, and even the things that were handed out shrank back.
Zhang Bei snatched the book, patted the page distressedly, and checked it again. Fortunately, it didn't rain, and the dirt road was dry.
Zhang ...... Brother Zhang Bei. Chen Wen called out to him in a low voice, looking down at the book in his hand, unable to see what it was.
Where did you get the book?
However, looking at it like this, Zhang Bei, who was holding the book, was inexplicably angry with the book?
Chen Wen shook his head, feeling that he must have lost his eyes.
Zhang Bei glanced at her lightly, ignored it, and moved away.
Seeing Zhang Bei, Chen Wen thought of Sister Ajun. I don't know, did Sister Jun put it down?
After returning home, Chen Wen began to make a fire to cook, and before the fire was lit, Zhang Shuhua took Zheng Jiang's family to the door.
The newlywed is different, Sister Shuhua has become more beautiful, with a smile on her face all the time, holding Zheng Jiang's family, and the relationship looks very harmonious.
knew that Zheng Jiang's family was here to deliver the fabric, but I didn't think that they had purchased it so quickly, and today was only five days after Sister Shuhua got married.
"Are you here to eat?" Although Chen Wen didn't know whether to ask them for lunch or dinner at this time.
Zhang Shuhua smiled: "I ate it." ”
Chen Wen bowed, dried his hands on his apron, and then moved two small stools for them to sit on.
But they didn't sit.
Zhang Shuhua put all the pieces of cloth they brought on a small stool, whispered to Zheng Jiang, and said to Chen Wen: "You talk first, I'll go home and send something to my mother." ”
"Okay."
Chen Wen replied casually, squatting down to count the cloth.
There are only three horses.
It's all dark and doesn't get dirty easily.
Zheng Jiang was talking to Zhang Shuhua and patted Zhang Shuhua's hand: "I'll go up there for a walk in a while." ”
The smile on Zhang Shuhua's face bloomed even more: "Then I'll wait there." ”
As soon as Zhang Shuhua left, Zheng Jiang went straight to the topic, and without sitting down, he stood and began to take things from his arms.
Chen Wen just finished counting the cloth, stood up, and a small strip of cloth was stuffed into the palm of his hand.
What is it?
Chen Wen unfolded the strip of cloth, saw the crooked traditional Chinese characters on it, and smiled, this character is quite ugly.
"Who wrote this?"
"Little boys." After Zheng Jiang finished answering, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the words on it: "You don't recognize it?" Do I need to read it again? ”
I almost forgot that the little girl might not have read a book, so Zheng Jiang kindly asked her, although Zheng Jiang himself couldn't recognize a few words.
Chen Wen smiled and waved his hand: "No need, no need." "Although the words are ugly and difficult to recognize, even if you look at and guess, you can't leave ten.
Several sizes are written on the strip of cloth, as well as the names of several little ladies and the color of the cloth.
Looking not messy and organized, Chen Wen quickly figured out which little lady was which piece of cloth.
was rejected by Chen Wen, Zheng Jiang didn't ask, and began to take the silver out of his purse and count it a few times.
Then, a few taels of silver were stuffed into Chen Wen's hands by Zheng Jiang's brain.
Chen Wen, who had never been exposed to so much money, felt that the silver in his hand was heavy.
"Those little ladies are anxious, and they make me angry."
Chen Wen put away his labor remuneration and asked casually, "What's wrong?" ”
"They went to buy cloth together, and they left me behind." Zheng Jiang rolled his eyes: "I don't know how to buy the cloth in my purse, I knew that I would have asked those individuals to send the cloth themselves to get the money." ”
The husband's vision is not good, and the son and Shuhua are newly married Yan'er, and they are embarrassed to call it. In this way, there will be no one to go with, and there will be no one to give themselves ideas.
Zheng Jiang is annoyed by this point.
Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was because of something big that made her angry.
But Chen Wen didn't dare to say that this was a trivial matter, so he hurriedly gave her a good breath.
"What's so angry about this, it's a big deal, I'll accompany you to buy cloth."
After Chen Wen finished speaking, he coughed lightly. If she said the wrong thing, Zheng Jiang might not be willing to go shopping with her to buy cloth.
"Really?"
“…… What the? ”
Zheng Jiang sighed: "You said to accompany me to buy cloth." ”
Chen Wen nodded stiffly: "Of course." "Don't really agree, do you?
Zheng Jiang clapped his hands: "It just so happens that I can't find anyone to accompany me to see the fabric, it's best to have an embroidery lady with me." ”
"Yes...... Chen Wen nodded awkwardly: "That's good." ”
"So be it." Zheng Jiang looked at the cloth on the stool, pondered for a while, and asked, "Do you have time the day after tomorrow?" ”
Chen Wen nodded.
"Then I'll bring someone to pick you up the morning after tomorrow, and we'll take an ox cart to the town to buy some pieces of cloth and come back."
"Going in an ox cart?"
As soon as Chen Wen heard the word ox cart, she was two big heads, and she sat in the ox cart twice last time, which only added up to about an hour, and her head shook uncomfortably, and it took a whole day to slow down.
How long does it take to get to town? It's always necessary to go back and forth for half a day!
Chen Wen was annoyed, and he couldn't wait to hit his mouth twice, blaming himself for being too fast.
Zheng Jiang thought it was funny, and asked rhetorically: "Otherwise, why don't you walk?" "She hasn't come that far.
Chen Wen didn't respond, looked at the tips of his shoes, and thought, if he walked for a long time, would his feet grind out a few blisters?
Yes, maybe the shoes can wear out.
Seeing that Chen Wen lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, Zheng Jiang thought that she had no opinion, and said happily: "Then it's decided, I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow." ”
After a long time, Chen Wen nodded sullenly.
After Zheng Jiang left, Chen Wen hung his head and sat on a small stool.
Forget it, why don't you just take an ox cart to town...... She still thinks that she has the opportunity to go out and see the world today, no, in less than a day, the opportunity came.
Free rides, don't take white, don't ride. Chen Wen secretly cheered himself up, he couldn't be disappointed, he couldn't see the world, and he couldn't lose at the first step.
By the way, take a look at what the ready-to-wear stores in the town are like and at what price.
If you have the chance, add a little more.
She also took advantage of Zheng Jiang's to buy cloth this time, and also bought a few pieces of cloth for herself, so that the purse that promised the merchant would be found.
And she hadn't been to an ancient town yet, and she didn't know what it was, thinking like this, Chen Wen faintly had a trace of expectation.
