"Five hundred dollars?"

Zhang Chao looked at the most of the fabric, frowned, and finally took out his purse.

"Ask you something, young man."

Zhang Chao took out a tael of silver and threw it to him, waited for Wang Daniu to cut the silver and asked, "Which village is the girl who sold goods at the counter just now?" ”

Although he works in Buzhuang, to put it bluntly, he is also a person from the village.

"Shopkeeper, what do you ask her to do?"

Wang Daniu found the silver and came out and began to clean up the counter.

"It's nothing, I have a brother who is of marriageable age, I see that the girl is good-looking, and I want to ask one or two."

There is no big man who has been a matchmaker in these years, Wang Daniu snorted, and looked at Zhang Chao with black eyes like fire, "Shopkeeper, don't worry about it, that's my daughter-in-law who hasn't passed the door." ”

His daughter-in-law?

Zhang Chao was stunned, and then said with a smile: "You kid is a toad and wants to eat swan meat, you don't like it if you look like this." ”

It's really his fiancée who won't wait until she shows her meaning to say it, this person likes that girl is right, but most people don't like him, otherwise the man will marry the woman when he gets married, and the two will already be married, so why bother until now.

Zhang Chao took the materials, sneered and left directly.

Wang Da Niu was so angry that he grinded his teeth, and a pair of fists clenched and clicked.

When I thought of that person's idea of actually wanting to fight Xiaojuan, there was a fire in my heart.

In the backyard, Ah Xiu was also asking Du Juan what was going on just now.

Du Juan briefly mentioned it, although she felt that the person was a little obscene, but if she wanted to say something, it didn't work.

"Tomorrow, you still have to stay in the embroidery workshop, I'll ask my father to arrange it, and let Brother Wang come to see the store."

Ah Xiu made a simple arrangement, she didn't know what kind of person Zhang Chao was, but from the time he came to the pharmacy on an errand and brought a concubine born as a singer, she knew that this person was lustful and had a bad character.

Du Juan thought about it and didn't say anything, and nodded in response.

"That's right." Ah Xiu pinched the teacup and lit the small round stool next to him, saw the person sit down, and asked softly: "If I remember correctly, you will turn fifteen years old, have you ever thought about getting married?" ”

Du Juan thought she was going to say something, but when she suddenly mentioned this, everyone panicked.

"Miss, you want to chase me?"

Du Juan's first reaction was that Ah Xiu didn't want her anymore, and the slaves of the Zhuo family didn't have the reason to marry at fifteen or sixteen, they were all assigned by the master in their early twenties to the small servants in the front yard or the steward outside.

How old is she now, and she is still far from twenty, what does this mean, Miss, is it possible that she has not done well enough these days.

Thinking of this, Du Juan's eyes were red, and she was about to kneel down and admit her mistake.

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Ah Xiu hurriedly held the person up and comforted: "I didn't mean that." Now it's different, everything is different from before, if you have someone you like, you can also choose to marry. ”

Every time I think of Du Juan's ending, Ah Xiu has a deep sense of self-blame, she is a master who has no ability, she can't protect the people around her, and she will only blindly ask for and seek refuge in them.

The Zhuo family has fallen, and it is enough for these people to not abandon them, and Ah Xiu doesn't want to use those rules to restrain people anymore.

"Miss, I don't have anyone I like. I want to serve you and be your housekeeper like a mother. Du Juan replied with a weak heart, and when he said this, Wang Daniu's silly and simple face flashed in his mind, and he finally admitted that he liked that man a little bit.

But this kind of liking is not worth mentioning compared to the master, she was born in the Zhuo family, grew up under the protection of Mrs. and Godmother, and now that Mrs. is gone, the Zhuo family is gone, how can she leave Miss to get married.

Du Juan's words moved Ah Xiu, but ......

"I mean, even if you get married, as long as you want, you can stay by my side, and you can still be my housekeeper mother in the future."

There are only a few capable people around her, and Ah Xiu doesn't want to be separated from her.

When Du Juan heard this, her heart moved, and she hesitated: "But now there are no house slaves." ”

According to the rules, the Zhuo family members who have learned acupuncture can only match domestic slaves to prevent the spread of craftsmanship to the greatest extent.

Ah Xiu smiled when she heard this, patted the hand she put on her lap and said, "It is said that this time is different from the past, as long as that person is willing to follow us or become a long-term worker, these things can be considered." ”

It's naturally not okay to casually want to marry the maid next to her, at least with the attitude you should have.

In the dream, she was incompetent, but now it is different, and the people around her can naturally look at it to make people feel at ease.

Long-term ......

Du Juan was silent, and when she saw Ah Xiu staring at her, she quickly shook her head and said, "Miss, what are you bothering about this, I don't have anyone I like." ”

After Du Juan finished speaking, the teapot on the table hurriedly left, showing that she was shy.

Ah Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, her attitude had already shown that as for whether Wang Da Niu was suitable or not, it depended on the intentions of the two of them.

Since this time, the matter of looking at the shop has been changed to Wang Daniu and Lu Bao.

Zhang Chao knew that the girl was from Buzhuang, and he also found a chance to come later, but he left without seeing anyone asking a few words.

It happened to be Lu Bao that day, and when he heard him mention Du Juan, he just shook his head, anyway, he didn't know anything, and when he left, he found Wang Daniu and said.

Wang Da Niu was so angry that he decided to find a matchmaker, no matter what, he had to show his intentions to save those thieves from worrying.

The New Year is approaching, Song Er has only sent two truckloads of goods to the city, and the embroidery workshop is ready to take annual leave.

After more than a busy month, everyone is idle, tidy up the embroidery workshop and yard, and then go home for the New Year.

On this day, Song Ercai rarely took care of business in the shop, and he didn't want Zhou, who he hadn't seen for more than a month, to come over.

Compared with before, Zhou's appearance has not changed much, he is still so yellow and thin, and the clothes on his body are also patched, but fortunately, there is still the pair of big cotton shoes that Song Er gave him at the beginning, which is not too ugly.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to rip the cloth?"

Song Ercai thought that she had come over to prepare things for the New Year, poured a cup of hot tea, and invited someone to sit down.

The padded jacket on Zhou's body is old, the material is washed white, and the appearance of shrinking her neck is not warm enough at a glance, she pulled out her hands in her sleeves, took two sips of hot tea and said: "Second brother, have you ever seen Brother Hong?" ”

Song Ercai was at a loss, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with Brother Hong?" ”

When Zhou heard this, he sighed and said: "A few days ago, Brother Tianhong left a letter, saying that he was going out to find an errand, and in the future, he would earn money to study, and he would disappear." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou's heart was uncomfortable, and she was embarrassed to say that in fact, when Song Hong left, she also stole a copper plate that had just been saved at home.

That was her husband's salary for these two months, and she originally planned to stay for Song Hong to study next year, but she didn't expect it......

Zhou's face is like ashes, and now they don't even have money for the New Year's holiday.
