"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense," Qingwan broke free with a smile, ran out of the door, and looked carefully at the goods in the car, and sure enough, they were all first-class: "I'm serious." This uncle, I see that it is not easy for you to come all the way, so how about selling this cart of medicinal materials to me for forty taels of silver? ”

The man was suddenly pleasantly surprised, but he didn't dare to confirm it: "Little girl, you can think about it, don't regret it, this is not for eating, this is for medicinal herbs." ”

"I know," Qingwan said with a smile, "you can unload the car." ”

"I'm lucky to meet such a good person as you today," the man was also sincere: "Give me food again, although the things are not valuable, but I can't thank you enough!" If it weren't for you, I'd have lost everything. I only charge 30 taels for this car of medicinal materials, as long as I can earn back the capital. I ran for nothing, not seeking to make more money. ”

"Since the uncle said so, then it's a word." Qingwan didn't refuse, watching the man unload all the medicinal materials into the courtyard, neatly stacking them for her, and then took out a big bag of food: "Uncle, this is some dry food, enough to eat for two days, you don't have a lot of money, you can buy less on the road." ”

The man took the heavy bag, and he didn't know what to say: "Thank you, girl, this car of medicinal materials is the capital I borrowed from the pledge of the house." If you can't sell it when you go back, you can't pay it back, and I'm afraid that the family will have to sleep on the streets. Thanks to you for saving our family's lives. ”

"Uncle, don't take it personally, I'm just buying medicinal herbs as usual." Qingwan took out thirty taels of silver and put it on the table: "You check and put it away." ”

The man's eyes were red, and he carefully packed a few ingots of silver, and then picked up his luggage: "I have to hurry up, my family is still waiting for me." If I come here again in the future, I will definitely come to thank you. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, go slowly, it's been hard these days, if you are in a hurry, how can you get sick." Qingwan instructed again.

"I know." The man returned to his heart like an arrow, and hurried to the entrance of the village.

In the past half a day, the Hanjuan sisters and brothers who heard the sound in the back room also came out, and looked at the large pile of medicinal materials in the courtyard, and they were all stunned and speechless.

"What's wrong with you kid?" He kept chattering: "Are you dizzy?" What do you do with these medicinal herbs for spending so much money? Even if he looks pitiful, there is no such help. What can I do? Where do you have to get it? ”

"Mother, didn't I just say it, I know it in my heart." Qingwan had already thought of a statement: "Our big green leaves can't be sold anymore, it's getting colder and colder day by day, and no one drinks this hot thing." I've been wondering what else I can sell these days. A few days ago, I read a medical book, and the book said that black beans enter the kidneys and can best replenish vitality, so I thought that in a few days I would sell some black bean soup at the tea stall, and today there will be this cheap thing delivered to the door, don't I want it? ”

"Oh? What do you think? He Shi was stunned: "Can you really sell it?" ”

Qingwan nodded: "I know the market of medicinal materials, if it is at the usual price, these will have to be sold for eighty or ninety taels, and we will spend thirty taels, isn't it cheap?" ”

"But no matter how cheap it is, if no one drinks the black bean soup, wouldn't it be bad?" Hanjuan said, "You, you just opened a tea stall and made a few bucks, you don't know what to do, you should be serious about a few taels of silver, try to sell it for a few days, this is good, suddenly got such a car of medicine!" ”

"Don't worry about it, when did I do something I'm not sure about?" Qingwan carefully covered the medicinal herbs, saw if it was too early, and hurriedly went into the city again.

As the afternoon approached, the number of guests gradually decreased, and Qingwan was thinking about her thoughts while packing up her cups and pots, but Hanjuan came to her side: "Why didn't Brother Tailai come today?" ”

"Huh?" Qingwan only thought about it, subconsciously raised her head, her eyes were still dazed, and she reacted after a while: "Yes, you don't say that I don't care, Brother Tailai didn't come today!" ”

"Something can't be wrong, right?" Hanjuan looked anxious, looking at the street from time to time, not knowing what to do.

"Eldest sister, don't worry," Qingwan comforted her and said, "It's probably something in the shop today, I can't get out, don't worry, if you don't come tomorrow, let Hanguang inquire, ah?" ”

"That's it." Hanjuan muttered, but she was still uneasy, "He never missed the appointment, what's wrong?" ”

Qingwan knew that at this time, it was useless to say anything, so he said: "Otherwise, let Hanguang do this"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Ji Tailai with a sad face, but he rushed over panting: "I'm late today!" Why, the guests are all scattered? ”

"Tyrago!" As soon as Hanjuan saw him, she shouted in surprise, "What's wrong with you today?" We're all thinking about you. ”

"I know you must not be able to rest assured of me," Ji Tailai didn't even breathe, and was about to be busy helping them serve medicine and drink, but was stopped by Qingwan: "Brother Tailai, there are not many people at this time, we can be busy, you can sit there and rest for a while, looking at you like this, there must be something." ”

When Ji Tailai heard this, his face turned red and he didn't say anything. Seeing this, Qingwan pulled Hanjuan by the hand: "Eldest sister, you quickly pour a cup of medicine for Brother Tailai, and my second brother and I will go over to greet these guests." ”

After speaking, he pulled Hanguang and went to the other end, deliberately leaving a gap for the two of them.

Sure enough, Ji Tailai was saying something seriously, the expression on his face was sometimes firm, sometimes melancholy, and his voice was extremely low, making it difficult to hear.

Although Qingwan greeted the guests, she always paid attention to the movements here. I saw that Hanjuan's expression changed greatly, her pretty face turned red, as if she was extremely angry, the two argued, and after a while, Hanjuan suddenly burst into tears again.

As soon as he saw the eldest sister crying, Hanguang was anxious to go up and ask, but was pulled back by Qingwan: "Don't make trouble now, wait a while and ask." ”

Hanguang had no choice but to stand still. Qingwan guessed that something should have happened, but she didn't bother, and after a while, the two suddenly seemed to have a broken talk, Hanjuan wiped her tears, and ran here.

"I'll have to go back," said Ji Tailai, who also hurriedly followed, "I'll come back in the evening." ”

"No need, don't come if you have something," Hanjuan suddenly raised her head, "My mother has not been in good health for the past two days, I'm afraid I can't come, I have to take care of my mother at home, this tea stall can be busy with two people now, you don't have to come." ”

Hearing this strange words, the Qingwan sisters and brothers couldn't help but glance at each other, and Qingwan hurriedly said: "Brother Tailai, if you have anything, just say it, don't delay it for us." ”

"It's okay, I'm fine," Ji Tailai muttered, as if he was in a hurry to explain clearly, but he didn't know how to speak, lowered his head slightly, but still stammered a little: "Even if your eldest sister can't come, I have to come over to help you, otherwise, there are two fewer people at once, how can it work?" ”

"I said I don't need you to come, I just don't need to." Hanjuan, who has always been submissive, didn't know what was wrong at this time, and her tone became extremely resolute, unquestionable: "If there is a real shortage of manpower, my father can also come." If we miss you, we can't afford it. ”

"I" Ji Tailai still wanted to defend, but was interrupted by Hanjuan: "Okay, it's not too early, you go back to the shop quickly, in case you are punished by the owner, how can it be good?" ”

Ji Tailai looked at Hanjuan's expression, and knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he said a little dejectedly: "Then, okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come back in the evening." ”

After speaking, as if she was afraid that Hanjuan would refuse again, she hurriedly walked away as if she was running away.

As soon as he left, Qingwan couldn't wait to ask, "What's wrong?" After talking about it for a long time? You also cried, this is inexplicable, if you have anything to say, you must tell me. ”

"Second sister," as soon as she heard this, Hanjuan couldn't help crying again, "I'll never see him again!" ”

"Why the hell is that?" Although it has only been a few months, the relationship between the eldest sister and Ji Tailai is very meaningful, and Qingwan can see it clearly, so when she suddenly heard this, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

Hanjuan choked, and only after a long time did she explain the reason: Ji Tailai saw that the date of leaving the school was about to come, and the Ji family had already planned for him, and paid to open a silk shop for him in the city. At this juncture, Ji Tailai also explained to the family about himself and Hanjuan, he originally thought that when he was in the village, his mother Du Shi liked Hanjuan very much, and there should be no problem with this, but as a result, what caught him off guard was that Du Shi would never agree when he heard it!

"Why? Hanjuan is gentle and capable, didn't you praise her before? also said that if anyone can marry such a daughter-in-law, it will be a blessing that they can't ask for. The confident Ji Tailai was taken aback.

"It was then, and it's now." Du Shi reprimanded sharply: "It turns out that our family also lives in the village, and just looking at the characters, the eldest girl of the Qing family is indeed a gentle and capable person, and my mother is not wrong." But when it comes to marriage, it's not so simple, not only your appearance and temperament must be worthy of you, but your family background can't be ignored. We have finally left the countryside now, and we have established ourselves in the city, and my father and mother have been thinking about it these days, and I will find you a family in the city, and it is best to be in business~~"

"The Qing family is not the same as before now, and his stall is also very prosperous~~"

Before he finished speaking, Du Shi interrupted disapprerovingly: "Although our family is not that rich and expensive, but it is finally less than the top, more than the bottom, with your cleverness, the girls in the city can also be picky and picky, why are you so desperate, you have to recognize that country girl?" ”

"Mother, no matter how good a person is, it is what you believe, and if I can't get into my heart, it's useless."

Seeing that his son, who has always been obedient, actually talked back for a country girl, Du Shi was angry.
