Chapter 37: Chen Qianhu
Lin sighed, "Come on, you, how many times have I said it, you still don't listen, and I don't bother to talk to you." ”
"By the way, our family Yue'er asked the kid I said last time to go out tomorrow, and we've met several times, so it's time to talk about marriage."
In fact, the Lin family is more satisfied, the young man last time was just Lin Yue'er greedy and wanted better.
Now she didn't catch it on either side, but fortunately, her family was good enough, so she quickly found another young man.
"It's really time to settle down, I think this young man is pretty good, although the speech is not as good as last time, but now he is down-to-earth, his family background is okay, and the most important thing is that he can be good to my family Yue'er." Lin Dazheng Dao.
"So men and women still look at the same person a little differently, how can this young man be as good as the last young man, the last young man's mouth is like smeared with honey, where is it like this, that mouth is stupid!"
"It's okay to make money, and it doesn't matter if you speak well or not? Last time it was good, but didn't it work out? So what's the solution. ”
Lin Shi was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he secretly cursed a few words that the young man before had no vision, and began to think about Lin Yue'er's dowry again.
"Didn't the dowry issue be said long ago? Why is it mentioned again now, just let Yue'er bring it over as I said before, and it's decent enough. ”
"It's before, don't think I don't know that you took a lot from Shen Wan'er, so you have to add some to your daughter's dowry, right?"
"Didn't you still look down on Shen Wan'er before? Now I want the money Shen Wan'er gave me to make a dowry for our daughter. ”
"Is this the same thing, the money Shen Wan'er gave you is yours, what's wrong with giving our daughter? Isn't it good to let your daughter marry decently and not be angry when she goes to her in-law's house? Lin Dazheng, the two of us are just such a daughter, although we have a son, but the son and daughter-in-law are away all the year round, except for the New Year, we are outside in a hurry, and the rest of the time is Yue'er with us, and we can give a little more. ”
Lin Dazheng thought about it, so he agreed to add ten taels of silver to Lin Yue'er's dowry.
On this day, Chen Qianhu suddenly came to Peony Village alone, and he deliberately went to find Shen Wan'er, which quickly reached Lin Dazheng's ears, and Lin Dazheng hesitated to go to Shen Wan'er's house to have a look, so as not to think that Chen Qianhu was not well entertained.
But when he arrived outside Shen Wan'er's house, Lin Dazheng was a little hesitant, what if he broke in abruptly and made Chen Qianhu unhappy?
While hesitating, Chen Qianhu came out of Shen Wan'er's house with a smile, and praised Shen Wan'er fiercely, Lin Dazheng only took a look at Chen Qianhu, and left.
Moreover, Lin Dazheng also noticed that when Chen Qianhu left, he seemed to be carrying a bag of things in his hand, as if it was medicine or something, but it was wrapped in oiled paper, and he couldn't see it very really.
"Miss Shen, what did Chen Qianhu say to you? How can you look so happy? Lin Dazheng stepped forward to inquire.
Shen Wan'er didn't deliberately want to hide it, and told Lin Dazheng the purpose of Chen Qianhu's coming, "Chen Qianhu heard about the recent incident in our Peony Village, and he was a little worried, so he came over to ask, and I told everything honestly, and Chen Qianhu left happily." ”
In fact, no, Chen Qianhu still has good intentions towards Shen Wan'er, and this time he just came here privately to satisfy his curiosity.
After all, those who inquire outside and those who ask me directly will still hear a difference, plus Shen Wan'er saw that Chen Qianhu seemed to be in poor health recently, and grabbed a few medicines for him, Chen Qianhu was naturally even happier.
Lin Dazheng saw that Shen Wan'er was reluctant to say more, so he was smart and didn't continue to ask her, it was obvious that he had a good relationship with Chen Qianhu, and he must be more interesting.
After all, to be able to achieve today's position, if you don't have any eyesight, it is absolutely impossible.
"Lizheng, I hope you don't spread the news about Chen Qianhu's visit, after all, this time Chen Qianhu came here alone, if it gets out, I'm afraid it won't be good to him."
"That's a natural Shen girl, don't worry, I will never spread this matter, and I will also ask other people in the village not to spread it."
There may be some impulses to talk about such things in a short period of time, but as time goes by, it won't be long before no one mentions it.
On the night of the pouring rain, Shen Wan'er lit a candle and took off her veil in front of the bronze mirror.
The face in the bronze mirror can still be seen, there are traces of birthmarks on the face, but it is much lighter than more than half a year ago, and I believe that in less than a year, these birthmarks will be able to completely disappear on her face.
Shen Wan'er picked up the ointment that had been configured on the side and applied it to her face, this ointment is mild and will not damage the skin at all, but the effect is not so fast, but if it is for the long term, it is better to be gentle.
The cold ointment was applied to her face, and Shen Wan'er picked up the account book on the side and looked at it.
The sales of the incense in the city are very good, much more than in the town, and there were customers from the city in the past, but now there is a store in the city, and there are naturally fewer in the town.
It's just that the profit is still quite considerable, after all, the two things of Xiangjiao and balm are consumables, and if you don't buy them back, you will continue to use them until the earth is wild.
These account books are all listed according to the method Shen Wan'er said, they are clearly organized, and they are not tiring to watch.
She counted the money in her hand, not to mention buying a house in the town, even buying a house in the city was more than enough, and she could buy a bigger one.
In fact, let the whole village have Chinese medicinal materials at the beginning, Shen Da disagreed very much, and strongly opposed it.
Originally, the conditions in their family were not very good, and they had to take risks again when they got better, how could Shen Da agree, but because he owed a hundred taels of silver, he didn't speak so loudly in Shen Wan'er's place.
Shen Wan'er also promised him that she would definitely make money, if she lost money this year, she would never do it again next year, and she would also give Shen Da fifty taels of silver, Shen Da heard that there would be so much money, so he immediately agreed.
But if it is developed normally, Shen Da's wishful thinking will never work.
"Wan'er, are you asleep?" Shen Zhao'er knocked on the door outside.
"What's the matter?" She went straight to open the door.
"I came to tell you ......" Shen Zhao'er looked at Shen Wan'er's face, and then her eyes widened in surprise, the lower half of Shen Wan'er's face was covered with black ointment, and these places were all places with birthmarks.
"Have you found something that will cure your birthmark?" Shen Zhao'er looked very happy, "That's great!" ”
Shen Wan'er pulled Shen Zhao'er in, closed the door, and shook her head, "It's true that I found it, let's try it first, as for whether you can cure it, it depends on the specific effect, I am also a dead horse and a live horse doctor, it's better to try than not to try." ”
It's not that Shen Wan'er refuses to tell the truth to her own sister, but that Shen Zhao'er is too easy to be deceived into telling the truth, so it's better to hide it before it's completely good.
The smile on Shen Zhao'er's face immediately faded, "So that's the case, don't worry, it will definitely be fine, your facial features are very beautiful, and your eyes are big, if the birthmark on your face is good, you must be a little beauty." ”
At this point, Shen Wan'er knew when she came over that her facial features and skin were very good in this game, if it weren't for those birthmarks on her face, she would definitely have broken through the threshold of the proposed person.
"Did you come to me for something?" Shen Wan'er asked.
Shen Zhao'er then remembered that she had something to do with her, "That's right, in fact, I thought about this a few days ago, but I never said it, I thought about it just now, and I still want to discuss this matter with you." ”
"What?"
"It's not Daddy's business yet." Shen Zhao'er sighed heavily, "The last time he went to the city to gamble, he owed a hundred taels of silver, this has always existed, I thought, what should I do." ”
"And it's been more than a month since they last came, and there hasn't been any movement until now, I don't know why, I'm always a little panicked."
Shen Da broke his leg, and after a month, he can now walk slowly on crutches, but those people haven't come yet, and they don't know what the idea is.
Judging from previous experience, these debt collectors should come to harass them every once in a while, could it be because they are too far away from Peony Village in the city, so they are too lazy to come?
There is still a slight possibility of this reason, but it is not possible not to come once in more than a month.
"I've also considered what you said, if you don't teach him a lesson this time, he will do it again in the future, and if he owes 1,200,000 taels at that time, then how can we pay it back, we can't afford to sell us." Shen Wan'er said.
"Then what should I do, it's impossible to break his leg after my father's leg is healed, so it won't cure the symptoms!"
Shen Wan'er shook her head, but began to ponder, it seems that she should really find something to do for Shen Da, so that Shen Da has no way to think about it after he gets busy.
But Shen Da doesn't seem to be good at anything so far, but he is good at basketry, but the baskets at home are enough, and this is not a long-term solution.
The two sisters discussed for a long time, but in the end, they still didn't discuss any results, so they had no choice but to give up.
The weather was sunny, and the peach blossoms on the side of the road were blooming just right, and Shen Wan'er wanted to fold a peach blossom with itchy hands, but she thought that these peach blossoms would still bear peaches, so she could only endure it.
