Chapter 151: Taking Advantage
Xu Lanzhou took out a purse from his arms, and took out a pair of plum blossom silver earrings from the purse, and said with a smile, "This is the birthday gift I bought for my sister in the Nanping Silver Building, and the shopkeeper said that it was a new model from Jiangnan." June 12 is my sister's birthday, and my mother said that she would make up for her sister and give her a gift. ”
On June 12, Xu Lanyin turned 16 years old. Because the original owner secretly sold the land last year, the whole family was angry and didn't give her a fifteenth birthday, so they didn't do a ceremony, so that now Xu Lanyin is still combing her double bun. The Qin family wanted to give her a good birthday this year, and then make up the ceremony.
The workmanship of these earrings is very exquisite, at least one or two silver.
Xu Lanyin looked at Xu Lanzhou with a pointed chin and asked, "Where did you get so much money?" ”
She accepted the pair of earrings, and took a silver horn and forced it into Xu Lanzhou's hand.
I didn't have time to go out to buy meat today, Xu Lanyin killed a rooster and made roast chicken with mushrooms, cold chicken slices, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried dried tofu with leeks, and two vegetarian dishes.
Xu Lanzhou said, "Anyway, it's not stealing." Sister, don't be angry with your brother. My mother scolded me so badly, I don't stingy anymore. ”
Xu Lanyin said, "You are growing your body now, and it is time to eat." Don't save the bite of food in your mouth, your body is not strong, how to test martial arts. ”
The old lady looked at Xu Lanyin, who was becoming more and more white and steady, and said, "Because the girl is a capable child, the silver hairpin I gave her is ready." I also want to remind you today to give a decent gift to the girl, and I hope she will find a good family in the future and enjoy happiness for the rest of her life......"
These words made Xu Lanyin feel a little moved.
When the old couple and two children came over, the family had dinner.
Remember https://m in a second
Qin also said the idea of giving Xu Lanyin a make-up and a ceremony.
Before, the Qin family wanted to make it more grand, and invited Mrs. Min to be the guest, and Min Nan to be the secretary. Xu Lanyin didn't agree, saying that the identities of the two families were very different, and it was not good to ask them for this matter.
Zhao Wu came back at the beginning of the year.
The Qin clan thanked him happily, and said, "I also want to invite your old man to be a guest." ”
Mrs. Xu promised.
Xu Lanyin also gave him a "OK", and the two left the small window. Xu Lan rested, and Zhao Wu went to the grove to practice martial arts.
On the second day, everyone was at home, and after breakfast, they took a donkey cart to the county seat to see the house.
Xu Lan got up and stretched her head out of the small window when she heard the movement, and Zhao Wuye was looking at her in front of the window, smiling brightly with her, and gesturing with her hand in an "OK" posture.
This is what Xu Lanyin taught him, it is their code, and this gesture means that everything is fine.
After entering the county, they went to the shop first, and Xu Lanyin discussed with Xu Dashi and Xu Lanzhou that now the dim sum is very easy to sell, and it is time to expand the scale appropriately. Take back the small shop that was rented out next to it to open a miscellaneous job, and recruit an apprentice who makes dim sum, a buyer and a junior, and a mother-in-law who does chores. In this way, Xu Dashi and the Li family can be more relaxed, and they will be able to take care of them if they wish to come to the county seat to go to a private school in the future.
Purchasing and Xiaoer, that is, Xu Lanyin and Zhao Wu specially tailored their duties for the "dark pile", which can not only monitor the Yiju Restaurant in the shop, but also have full free time.
The fifth grandfather and the others smiled, "Today the people are neat, go to see the dim sum shop?" ”
Xu Lanzhou nodded yes.
Gu Pozi stroked the golden hairpin on her head and said proudly, "My son has already married the second girl Su, and now he is the son-in-law of the Houmen and a nobleman." He also became a big official of the household department from the seventh grade, second only to the county master, and in a few days I will go to the capital to live in a big house and enjoy happiness. Hmph, a mud leg, he dares to dislike my son. Bah! ”
It turned out that Gu Wangchen and Su Qing had already made a marriage. One climbed the high branch as he wished, and the other stepped back and used the spare tire that had been prepared, which was also regarded as chasing their wishes. Moreover, he actually entered the household department, which was different from the book, and he did go through the door.
After several people discussed, Xu Lanyin went to the front shop to take a look, and saw the ancient woman wearing gold and silver coming. In the past few days, Gu Pozi has been paying attention to the Xu family's shop, and if Xu Lanyin came, she would quickly tell her.
Seeing such an ancient woman, Xu Lan guessed that it must be her son who came out and came to show herself.
After that, Xu Lanyin and a few people went to the tooth shop, and the tooth man said that the two two people who entered the house were still not sold.
A few people took an ox cart and went to the two houses with the tooth man to have a look. The house next to the north gate is close to the slum, the road in front of the gate is cramped, the environment is dirty and messy, and the houses in the yard are also very old.
Xu Lanyin said indifferently, "Oh, congratulations to them." ”
Xu Lanyin's calm attitude made Gu Pozi stunned, shouldn't this dead girl be so angry that she scolded or said sour things? She still wanted to show off again, but she was persuaded away by the mother-in-law who rushed over.
The tooth man said that this house could be less than ten taels and sold for one hundred and ninety taels of silver, which was the lowest price given by the seller.
Xu Lanzhou wanted to buy cheap ones, and Qin's family, Xu Lanyin, Xu Lanting, and Zhao Wu all wanted to buy expensive ones.
The tooth man knew Zhao Wu, the most handsome catcher in Nanping County, and he didn't dare to shout the price in front of Zhao Ye. said that this house could be cheaper, and it would be sold for a hundred taels of silver.
I went to Huaishu Street again, the street is wide, the house is very new, the yard is also large, and there are many trees and flowers planted in it. It is very close to the shop and the county office, and there is a private school in the previous alley.
Both the Qin clan and Xu Lanting echoed Xu Lanyin.
Xu Lanzhou still gritted his teeth and disagreed, "I am the eldest son of this family, and I have the final say in this matter." ”
Xu Lanzhou's face turned red, and he roared, "The difference is ninety taels of silver, and you can buy eleven acres of high-quality land or a house." We are not big households, so why bother to lose that face. ”
Xu Lanyin said, "Where are we to lose face, our family already has that strength, so if you want to live, you can live comfortably." ”
Xu Lanzhou was overjoyed, and just wanted to agree, but was stopped by the Qin family.
Zhao Wu has been saving money, just to make Xu Lanyin live more comfortably. said, "Sister, I earned nearly two hundred taels of silver and deposited it with you, and I will pay for the ninety taels of silver, and then I will pay for the decoration." ”
Xu Lanyin was not polite and said, "The family's money is basically earned by me, and I should have the final say." ”
Qin blushed and said, "It's not that we don't have money, how can we ask you to give money." Good boy, we have received your love. He said to Xu Lanzhou again, "You are a man, how can you try to take advantage of it, and other people's money is embarrassed to buy a house for yourself." After reading so many years in vain, I taught you so much in vain. Go home and kneel for me, if you can't figure it out, you won't be allowed to get up, and there's no need to go to school anymore. ”
The Qin clan usually speaks more gently and tactfully, but this time he was mad and scolded Xu Lanzhou to tears. After she finished scolding, she turned her head and walked out of the tooth shop. Xu Lanyin went to hire a donkey cart again, and several people returned disappointed.
In the car, Xu Lanzhou cried silently. Xu Lanyin ignored him, this child should be educated well.
