Chapter 41: Looking for a Carpenter
Then there's the issue of silver.
She didn't have much money now, but it would cost her a lot of money to sit on such a chair. Although if this drawing is given to her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law will definitely contribute money and efforts, but Song Qingyi wants to complete this matter alone, because in this way, even if she fails to heal him in the future, at least there will still be a favor.
So now the imminent question is, where does the silver come from?
If you stay at home, you will definitely not rain money from heaven.
Song Qingyi thought of the medicinal materials in his own space, and if he took them out and sold them to the pharmacy in the town, he should be able to exchange them for some silver.
But what reason did she use to make a trip to town?
Just when she was worried about this, Su Xiaowan happily called her: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Come on! A-Niang called us! ”
Song Qingyi smiled: "Why are you so happy?" ”
Su Xiaowan smiled happily, with a little shyness and expectation in her eyebrows, and said a little awkwardly: "You'll know when you come." ”
When she arrived in front of Lai's family, she could understand why Su Xiaowan was happy.
Lai Shi took five taels of silver and gave it to her: "It's a good day, you and Xiaowan go to the town to make new clothes, and then buy two new clothes for your eldest brother." It just so happened that Twilight was going to go to the town with his father to do tea trading, you and Xiaowan went over together in their donkey cart, stayed at night, and came back together tomorrow when their business was negotiated, I heard that there is a lantern festival in the town every fifteenth, and you can also look at the lights at night. ”
That is, they can stay in town for two days.
Song Qingyi took the silver, but glanced at Su Xiaowan with a smile, and the roots of the other party's ears turned red, and then he nodded to Lai's family: "Okay, I will also make a new dress for A-Niang when the time comes." ”
"I have too many clothes to wear!" Lai's smiled and refused, she was generous, but she was reluctant to buy herself a thread.
Song Qingyi didn't answer, but she had already made up her mind to make a suit for her mother-in-law.
Su Xiaowan was still coquettish on the side: "Auntie, it would be nice if you could go with me!" How long has it been since you've been to town? ”
Lai nodded his daughter's forehead: "I'm going too, what should your eldest brother do when he's home alone?" Alright, let's clean up! After a while, Twilight will be with you, and the lobby uncle will come! ”
Song Qingyi has nothing to clean up.
She changed into a light purple collared half-arm, a smoky gray waist-length skirt underneath, a simple falling ponytail, and tassel-like bangs on her forehead, barely able to cover the long ugly fire scar a little.
Instead, Su Xiaowan returned to the house and dressed up well.
Wearing a light cyan collar placket with half arms and waist-length skirt, combing a delicate and lovely hanging hair, the face and mouth are smeared with poppy powder, the eyes are bright, the smile is moving, the whole person is like the willow leaves that have just budded in the early spring, with the delicate and youthful beauty, there is a kind of smart and lively girlish atmosphere that makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Lai Shi looked at his daughter-in-law, and then at his daughter, and smiled very satisfied: "The two look like a pair of sisters." ”
Su Xiaowan happily grabbed Song Qingyi's arm, with a smug face: "That's!" My sister-in-law and I are just like that sister! No! It's closer than sisters! Isn't that sister-in-law? ”
Song Qingyi pinched a little baby fat on her cheek: "Yes, yes, yes!" To have a lively and lovely sister like you is really a blessing from my third life! ”
"Hey, hey." Su Xiaowan laughed embarrassedly twice.
At this time, the old family's donkey cart came.
Jiang Duran came over and called them to go.
As soon as she saw Xiao Wan's beautiful dress, Jiang Duran couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and sighed: "Xiao Wan, you usually wear coarse cloth clothes at home, comb your hair casually, and then stand there, cross your waist and shout a few words loudly and roughly, I just treat you as a kid who was raised by the third aunt as a girl!" I didn't expect to dress up today, and I still look a little like a girl, Xiaowan, tell my brother honestly, what are you going to do when you dress up like a girl so much today? ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he grinned in pain and covered his arm with a "hiss".
"What do you say? Who's the kid? Su Xiaowan twisted Jiang Duran's arm and turned around mercilessly.
"Me! I am! Jiang Duran begged for mercy.
Seeing that the other party didn't dare to laugh at her anymore, Su Xiaowan withdrew her hand compassionately, raised her chin and snorted, and jumped up and down to pull Song Qingyi to sit in the donkey cart together, and waved goodbye to Lai's family.
In the car, Su Xiaowan kept rattling with Jiang Duran.
The hall uncle set up a donkey cart and laughed in front of him, as if this bickering was a small song, obviously the ring between his son and his niece had long been commonplace.
Song Qingyi sat there quietly with his legs crossed, looking at the scenery along the road.
Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, blowing on her face, which opened her mind and made her mood feel comfortable and light.
By the time we arrived in the town, it was approaching noon.
"Let's find an inn first, eat and rest for a while, I'll go to talk about business with Twilight in the afternoon, you can go out and have fun if you want to, eat something at the inn at night, and when I come back with Twilight, let Twilight take you to see the lights." The lobby man arranged everything and explained it well.
"Okay, my sister-in-law and I will listen to you!" Su Xiaowan responded happily.
The lobby man smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Subsequently, he found an inn where he often came to stay, asked for two rooms, several people each ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles, sat and talked for a while, there was nothing else to do at this time, Song Qingyi sounded to the lobby: "I don't know if there are any carpenters with good craftsmanship here?" ”
"Carpenter? What are you going to do? The lobby asked.
"My comb is broken, and I want to ask a carpenter to see if he can fix it, or make it exactly the same again." This is a meticulous job, Song Qingyi has already thought of the reason, "The comb was given to me by my husband when I got married." ”
As soon as he heard this, the doubts in the hall uncle's heart were dispelled, and while sighing that this nephew and daughter-in-law was a good boy who missed the old love, he seriously introduced: "I really know a family, just on the west street of an old Wu carpenter's shop, the carpenter has good craftsmanship, and the work is also fine, and his grandfather's crutch and my old smoking gun are all asked to be made by him." ”
This carpenter, what Song Qingyi wants is a careful and good craft.
The hall uncle thought for a moment, and simply stood up: "Let's go, I've just had dinner here, I'll take you to see it first." ”
Song Qingyi was very happy, but she still smiled and declined: "Is the old Wu carpenter shop on the west street right?" I'll go around with Xiaowan, you and Duran still have to talk to people about business in the afternoon, so let's rest early, and the two of us can go together. ”
