Chapter 6: The Empty Shell

"His consultation fee is too expensive, we are looking for Langzhong from the next village,"

"Oh, it's okay for that Lang Zhong to be bearish, but other diseases can be ......" Speaking of this, Mama Liu glanced at Qing Niang,

She didn't want to talk about this at this time, after all, before getting Su San, it was not appropriate to move too much. She watched as the wheat changed the subject.

"It's too late this year, when the wheat is harvested, let's dig a well in the field, let's dig a few less mouthfuls first, what did you plant after harvesting wheat in previous years?"

"Plant some beans and buckwheat. Although the yield is not high, it matures quickly, and it is cold early on our side. "It seems that the temperature here is very low, and winter wheat cannot be grown.

Because there was still something important to do in the second half of the day, their master and servant said goodbye to Li Da. Walking back slowly, she was in a good mood at this time, Li Da was a kind person, and he didn't take the opportunity to sell miserably just now, and when Su San's affairs were straightened out, he would help him out of this respect.

These people's deeds are all in the Bofu, strictly speaking, they are not their own slaves, unlike Mama Liu and the two maids, who are the people left by their mothers.

When Su San saw the patriarch enter the courtyard, he suddenly felt bad, the old man had never looked at him squarely, and at this time, he also threw his wide clothes and entered the courtyard directly.

"Second old lady, please, do you have something to order?" Su San's greetings were ignored, and soon, Qing Niang greeted her at the door.

"Second Uncle Ancestor, you are here, please go up and sit in the room,"

"No, you ask someone to put the tea under the jujube tree, let's sit there and say, Su San, call your mother-in-law to come over too,"

After the old man finished speaking, he sat down at the stone table, Moxiang and the others hurriedly brought the tea over, and Qing Niang also went over to sit down.

"We have also come from Beijing for a few days, but the rules in the courtyard are becoming more and more unreasonable, today I invited the second uncle and grandfather, and asked him to put the old man under control, and I will do what I said today."

Hearing this, what else did Su San not know, he couldn't help but show a fierce light in his eyes, he was still too careless, he wanted to let her live for two more years and earn more silver taels for herself, who knew that the boat overturned in the gutter, hum, this is your own life, no wonder Lao Tzu is ruthless!

At that moment, he lowered his eyes, listened respectfully to the patriarch's arrangement, and did not raise any objections, even Su Yunfu was a little surprised.

After the patriarch left, Mo Xiang asked in the house, why didn't they take the opportunity to take out the account book, they obviously didn't spend that,

"Can I give this to you, I've already smoothed the account, and I'm still waiting for you to break with him? I bought a few catties of meat today, and what vegetables did I buy yesterday? There are several big expenses for repairing the house, and there is no craftsman to confront it, so now is not the time to settle the account. ”

She had already seen the man's expression, this was to jump off the wall in a hurry, or if she showed her true face earlier, she would be able to do it.

Mama Liu has changed the locks in the inner courtyard, and she will no longer let the two of them enter the inner courtyard to reply, as long as she doesn't leave them a gap, see what method he uses to harm her,

Now the power has been taken back, but this is an empty shell, there is no grain in the warehouse, there is no silver in the hand, although there are crops in the field, but far from quenching the thirst of the near.

She also promised Li Da to dig a well, what to dig with? Just four taels of silver? No, because I had to pick up Mama Liu's family, I also asked someone to bring them a tael of silver.

"We're here, what about the jewelry my mother left behind? Did you bring them all? ”

Her mother was born in a scholarly family, and although the dowry was not rich, there were always a few pieces of jewelry.

"Mrs. Xian's jewelry is in the hands of the old lady, saying that it is to wait for the girl to make a dowry when she leaves the pavilion, we only have some beads in our hands, and a gold lock, and the slave maid is placed in the kang cabinet."

After Mo Xiang finished speaking, she went to the kang to open the cabinet and took out a small box, Qing Niang wondered, just a few bead flowers, why are they still hiding so deeply?

"Let's look at it like this, I was asked for a flower by the three ladies last year. said that the governor took care of us, and they were going to return the gift, and the three were here. ”

Qing Niang was stunned, she has been so much jewelry since she was a child? This is not like the young lady in the Bofu. Only after asking:

"It's all in the hands of Madame, she said that the girl is too young, she will save it, and when we go home, she shouldn't dare to deduct it, those have accounts!" It turns out that these are just worn with you, and the jewelry is all in the house, so you can really get rid of it.

"Tell Mama to be the golden lock, and then redeem it when we have enough money, ah no, let's go to town together tomorrow, I don't seem to have been there yet."

She wanted to see the size of the town, and especially to find out, what was there now? You don't have to do a unique business, as long as you do it well, you won't worry about sales.

Although the vinegar was not born, she was pleasantly surprised, but if you think about it carefully, she is brewed, and others may not accept it. It's not an easy task, after all, taste is a thing that is easy to change.

Yang Liu's guy has never been jealous, and occasionally she doesn't move a chopstick. I don't know what happened to her that day? Seeing that I became charred, I guess I would collapse too. Thinking of this, she sighed, thinking about her father's bitter appearance sitting in the office, and her heart was a little refreshed.

Mama listened to her plan and looked at the golden lock a little reluctantly,

"This is still a full moon gift from the old lady of the in-law, I have worn it on you since I was a child, when I go outside, I can't take it back, I think it's better to keep it, although we don't have much in our hands, but there is food at home, vegetables in the field, and there is no expense."

If it's business, it's not enough. Qing Niang couldn't tell Mama that she looked at the golden lock, it was really beautiful, and the patterns were not the common ones, it seemed to be the lines of the acacia flowers.

"Then let's put it first, tomorrow you go to the town with me, I want to buy some paper and pencils, and it will be the Buddha Bathing Festival soon, copy some Buddhist scriptures to make offerings, and pray for the old lady.

Anyway, she still has to go back to the capital, yesterday her memory has recovered a little, and there is a young brother in the house, although it is raised in the old lady's house, but the body is thin and weak, the mother just gave birth to him, so he has not been loved by his father since he was a child.

Qing Niang thought of this young brother, and also remembered the intermittent words that Niang held her hand on her deathbed. The original owner will be five years old, she remembers this picture very clearly, although the original owner is ignorant, but now that she is here, she knows the difference between having a younger brother and not having a younger brother.

Not to mention that her mother has a trust when she is dying, even if she doesn't, she has to find a way to raise this child.

He is the eldest son of Bofu and the heir in the future. With him as an uncle, her waist will be harder in the future, she didn't have the luxury of making her own decisions about marriage, after all, this is a patriarchal society, and there is a stepmother who is eyeing her.
