Chapter 48
After Lin Zhiyun returned to the cage and woke up, she realized that she had let Shen Yuqi into the weaving room in a daze, but she didn't pay attention to it, and when He asked, she explained it again, which was not much different from what Shen Junyao guessed.
"Mother, don't worry, there is nothing in the weaving room except needlework and looms, and even if she learns to weave, she is just one more person to help us weave." Lin Zhiyun said with a smile.
He Shi said nervously: "But what if she learns to weave and steal business with us?" ”
Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "Her family doesn't have a loom now, where can she grab business with us?" The most valuable thing in our weaving is the spinning recipe, as long as no one can learn this recipe for a while, then we can continue to earn it. ”
As soon as she said this, He Shi began to worry again: "Then what if someone learns our spinning recipe?" ”
"We're all tinkering with this in the basement, and no one usually goes there, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Lin Zhiyun said with a smile.
That's right, when he first built the house, Shen Junchuan found a good person who dug tunnels from other places to build a tunnel for their house, and also built several basements. This was Lin Zhiyun's proposal at first, Shen Junchuan didn't understand what the purpose was, but he thought that if he encountered a famine, he might be able to escape by relying on the tunnel, so he found someone to dig it.
This is a private matter, and if it is known by the villagers, it may bring a lot of unnecessary trouble, so he deliberately spent an extra dozen taels of silver to find a person from other places. The house that dug the tunnel was quite far away from their county, and even if they knew that their house had a tunnel, they would not usually run here.
"That's what you said." Thinking of their family's authenticity, the He family was also a little relieved, "Then you will treat Yuqi as Yushan Yuxuan in the future?" ”
"I don't want to say what I think in private, but on the surface, at least we must do it equally. Anyway, it's just teaching weaving, just teach it at her pace. Now there is nothing that can't be taught to others about the craft that can't be taught to her, as long as she can learn it, her mother will teach her everything. With her unrelenting nature, if she keeps hiding, she will be more likely to get into trouble. ”
He Shi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Alas, what you said is that I hate that I have lived a long time and you haven't seen through things yet." ”
Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "Mother, don't say such things, you are still young, why are you so old?" By the way, do you want to learn how to weave dark lines? The dark ones can earn an extra one or two hundred wen. ”
He Shi waved his hand and smiled: "That's it, I still don't learn that, I thought it was complicated when I watched Ayao weaving before, I think it is still a solid color suitable for me, anyway, this solid color cotton cloth is indispensable, I can sell as much as I weave, right?" ”
"There is a traveling merchant, it should be possible." Lin Zhiyun said with a smile, "I heard that the cloth we gave to the traveling merchant last time, he has now sold out, and he is about to come back and get some more with us in the past two days." ”
He smiled: "That's good, that kid is also a hard worker, and now I can help him, and I'm happy in my heart." ”
"Miserable? I heard that he was a traveling merchant? Lin Zhiyun said curiously.
He laughed and said, "What kind of traveling merchant background? He is a merchant, called a traveling merchant. ”
"He's called a wanderer? The name may sound odd. Lin Zhiyun was surprised.
His father's surname is You, and he used to run a grocery store in the town, and his mother's surname is Shang, who opened a grocery store in Qingping County, opposite the Duxue River. The difference between the east and west of the north and south of the snow river is quite big, and the two families are married so that both families can sell things with the characteristics of the two places. Originally, the business between the merchant and the You family became more and more prosperous after they got married, but after the death of the You Shang's grandfather, his uncle and mother broke off the cooperation with the You family and stopped interacting with them at all. In order to buy goods, the father and mother of the traveling merchant had to go to the north bank of the Xue River by themselves, but when they came back, the wind and waves were strong, and the ship sank, and the couple and the half of the cargo sank to the river, and finally only two soaked corpses came back. ”
He was soft-hearted, and sighed again and again every time he remembered the past of the You family.
"When the You family had an accident, our Shen family was still in the town, and the shop was next door to the You family, and everyone was very embarrassed at that time." He Shi sighed and said, "Later, the grocery store of the You family was occupied by his uncle, and he was also driven out by his uncle. He was only thirteen years old at the time, and he walked away alone with a flat pole and two empty bamboo baskets. Not long afterward, the Shen family also had an accident and moved back to the village, occasionally seeing him passing by the door with goods from other places. ”
"Did he actually start doing it when he was empty-handed?" Lin Zhiyun admired him very much, and he dared to go out alone at the age of thirteen.
She heard Shen Junchuan say that the traveling merchant seemed to be the most popular merchant in their county, because his prices were fair, his things were fresh, and many people liked him. He was never afraid to go far, and ran to every county in their Tongzhou Prefecture.
"No, it's about because he is alone, he dares to go anywhere, and then even his uncle wants his goods, but he refuses to give it."
"No one would want to do such a thing, would they?" Shen Junyao pouted and said, "He was kicked out by his uncle at the beginning, where would he be willing to help his uncle do things now?" ”
"Isn't it? What a capable young man, he just got involved in such a thing. If his father and mother were still alive, he would have continued to study at the academy. I heard that he was a good student back then, although he was not as good as your eldest brother, but he was often in the forefront, which is a pity. ”
It turned out that he couldn't continue to study because of an accident at home, Lin Zhiyun thought to himself that in addition to the fair price, the merchant and Shen Junchuan were also in sympathy, right? That's why Shen Junchuan found him, which can be regarded as helping his own family and helping the traveling merchant.
Alas, let's weave more cloth in the two days before he arrives, so that she and the traveling merchant can earn more.
On the other side, Shen Yuqi had to copy the female ring punished by the third uncle, but the countryside couldn't get the grounding, so early the next morning, Shen Yuqi still slipped into Shen Junchuan's house while the third uncle had not gotten up.
When she arrived, Shen Junchuan happened to come out of the house with a bookbag on his back, glanced at her coldly and left. Rao is Shen Junchuan didn't say a word, and Shen Yuqi was still taken aback.
Which person in Huaihua Village doesn't know that Shen Junchuan is a madman? She forgot about Shen Junchuan after marrying his wife for a long time, but she provoked Shen Junchuan and was sent to her grandfather's house for half a year, but she was uncomfortable to death. Her grandmother's house is in Baishui Village, the poorest village in the county, it is really a poor and white place, even if their Shen family is not rich, they have meat to eat every once in a while.
But what about her grandfather's house? Not to mention eating meat every once in a while, you may not even be able to eat it during the New Year's holidays. I heard her mother say that in the past, her grandfather's family used to buy a small piece of meat every year during the Chinese New Year, and every time she wanted to fry vegetables, she would stick the meat on the pot and scald a few points of oil star, and only after the New Year did she cook the meat that was scalded into black charcoal and eat it.
Her mother has never had such a hard life since she got married, and she is reluctant to try her baby daughter. Therefore, when Shen Yuqi was sent over, her mother specially asked her to carry half a catty of meat and seven or eight eggs. But that was only enough for her to eat for a few days, and she had been there for three months!
There are almost no wild vegetables on the other side of Baishui Village, and there is no oil star at all. Many times, Shen Yuqi felt that what she was eating was not vegetables, but grass, and if she ate it again, she would lose weight into grass.
When she was punished for copying the women's ring yesterday, her grandfather said that if she still made the previous mistake, then go back to her grandfather's house to copy the women's ring!
Where is Shen Yuqi still willing? Although full of reluctance, it's better to be a man with his tail between his legs in the past two days.
To be honest, she was going to make a fool of herself yesterday, and after being punished for copying the women's ring at night, she felt that Lin Zhiyun had harmed herself, and she originally wanted to target Lin Zhiyun today, but who knew that she met Shen Junchuan just after she came over.
Shen Yuqi immediately remembered what Shen Junchuan had done recently, and after hearing that Shen Junchuan sent her to her grandfather's house, he also went to the Shen family's old house to cut the clothes of the Qian family, Shen Yuzhen and Shen Yuqiong. When she first knew about this, Shen Yuqi was happy in her heart, she had always been unaccustomed to Shen Yuzhen pretending, and now someone could teach her how good it was!
But if she offends Lin Zhiyun today, what should Lin Zhiyun do if she asks Shen Junchuan to complain? She didn't want to be the fourth person in the village to be cut off by Shen Junchuan!
In the past, when Shen Junchuan did this kind of thing, there would be people in the village to teach him a lesson, but where is there such a person recently? The people in the village either think that he can shine on the lintel by reading, or they think that he and Lin Zhiyun have provided a lot of convenience to the people in the village and should take good care of them. Anyway, no matter what these people think, in a word, she can't bully Shen Junchuan's family anymore!
Shen Yuqi couldn't do it, in order not to be sent to her grandfather's house again, she was a lot more honest on this day.
Lin Zhiyun was originally ready to fight a tough battle with Shen Yuqi, but who knew that Shen Yuqi was actually honest for a day, which made her feel strange, and she couldn't help but whisper to Shen Yushan.
Shen Yushan was happy to see Shen Yuqi punished, but she felt that it was too embarrassing for such a thing to spread. Their old third room has always been a big family working together, and each elder taught her not to talk about bad people behind her back!
But since Lin Zhiyun took in Shen Yuqi, then she should know what Shen Yuqi said! Otherwise, Lin Zhiyun was coaxed by Shen Yuqi, who was reluctant to come over to weave, what should he do?
What she said was just telling the truth, and where could the truth be regarded as saying bad things behind people's backs?
Shen Yushan thought like this, and finally had the courage to tell Lin Zhiyun everything that happened yesterday.
Lin Zhiyun couldn't help but sigh: "Third Uncle Zu is really a rare and transparent person, maybe we haven't had an in-depth chat when we met before, but I didn't expect him to be such a character." ”
