That night, Wang brought a bowl of black medicine into the room.

Song Ercai drank some wine at the banquet, and his head was still a little dizzy, but when he saw his daughter-in-law sitting at the table drinking medicine, his brain instantly cleared up.

"Siniang, are you unwell?"

Song Ercai got up and walked over to care for his wife.

Chang drank a bowl of medicine and sighed: "It's nothing, medicine to regulate the body." ”

"It's been a few years, and you're still drinking this."

Song Ercai was a little helpless, his sons were so old, he didn't care if there was another one.

"You didn't hug your grandson earlier, and now you don't allow me to adjust my body? Anyway, this medicine was also prescribed when I went to Fucheng last time, and if I kept it, I would like to keep it, so it is better to drink it, maybe I can make up for it. ”

Chang's still couldn't let go of the fact that he couldn't get pregnant anymore, so Song Ercai said silently: "Don't worry, Brother Tian'er's family affairs are only a matter of two or three years." ”

Chang Shi looked at him curiously, "Didn't you say that you would wait for Brother Tian to marry Ah Xiu in high school?" ”

Song Ercai nodded, "I will end next year and participate in the township test the year after next, isn't it just a matter of two or three years." ”

Although Ah Xiu said that he was willing to marry into the Song family, Song Ercai was still not at ease, especially after the embroidery workshop in Suming was built.

It's not that I'm afraid that Ah Xiu will break his promise, it's that Song Er can't rest assured of his son.

As her purpose became more confusing, he was a little afraid to hand over his son like that.

Diagonally opposite the wing, Ah Xiu appeared in front of Song Tian's room.

She raised her hand and knocked, and when the door was ready, she smiled and took out two pencil cases, one large and one small, and handed them over.

"Brother Tian, congratulations on winning this year's crown."

In the past few years, she has sent things to him to congratulate, which are not expensive, but they are all made by herself, and her heart is rare.

Song Tian was ambiguous, especially when he took the pencil case with her body temperature, he felt that his hands were hot.

"Come in and sit down."

He suppressed the heat in his eyes and turned sideways.

The two have been together for a few years, and they have grown up together, and there are not too many rules to follow, so it stands to reason that even if Ah Xiu goes in and stays for a while, it is nothing, not to mention that the two are still fiancés.

But Ah Xiu saw his blazing eyes, lowered his head and stared at his embroidered lotus embroidery and said, "I haven't washed yet, so I won't sit." ”

She went back to the next room and closed it with a squeak.

Song Tian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he had no choice but to put the two pencil cases under his nose and sniff lightly.

In the next room, Ah Xiu let out a long breath when he heard him close the door.

Since the beginning of the year, she has felt that Brother Tian has looked at her differently, she is not a little girl who knows nothing, she knows what it means, but she has only turned fourteen years old......

Ah Xiu bit her lip and covered her crimson face.

*****

The results of the year-end exam in the school hall were announced, and the annual vacation was going to be in a few days.

When the embroidery workshop is busy with this batch of goods at the end of the year, there are still a few days left in the year.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a holiday in the embroidery workshop, and Song Er let people pack several boxes of goods into the city early in the morning and went to Caofu.

Nowadays, the embroidery workshop here no longer embroiders those clothes and ordinary objects, and uses silk to make yarn clothes all year round.

These goods are light and thin, and there are two boxes on the carriage every time they are delivered, which makes those who don't know think that the business of Songjia Buzhuang is bad.

After all, there were too many goods to put down in the winter before, and this time it was empty, and there were two more guards.

came to Pingyang Cao Mansion, Song Ercai met the shopkeeper Yang of Suming Embroidery Workshop as promised.

At the end of the year, there are two carriages of Yang Shopkeeper's goods, both of which are cloaks, clothing, and large screens.

At the beginning, Ah Xiu asked the shopkeeper Yang to go down the mountain, and set up four embroidery workshops in the village with Du's mother and daughter, and the production of embroidery such as clothing was moved there.

In the past few years, the business has not been much different from what was originally planned.

The ordinary materials they make are still sold in the Fucheng area, but the territory has expanded a little, covering the surrounding counties and counties, and the sari has never appeared here, as long as the stock is sufficient, Cao Xu will find someone to bring it out from the Western Regions and sell it to Fanguo.

Most of those camel caravans take a year and a half to go back and forth, and it is unknown where Cao Xu found Ah Xiu, and every time the caravan returns, Song Er will go over to settle the account, and Cao Xu will take out a special trip to exchange silver tickets or gold bars.

At the end of this year, Song Ercai not only reconciled accounts with Shopkeeper Yang, but Cao Xu also gave a box and bills.

Song Ercai looked at the bill first, and then opened the box to take a look, a stack of silver tickets, nearly six thousand silver, ten gold bars, and the value of this small box alone was nearly ten thousand taels.

Not only that, but when the shopkeeper Yang was in charge of accounts with him, he also left a wooden box, which contained more than five hundred taels.

"Master Cao, did the caravan return this time go smoothly along the way?"

The income of nearly 10,000 taels of silver from a business trip is still the amount shared with Cao Xu and the caravan.

But the risk of going to the merchant was too great, so far the two caravans they had found had gone out a total of eight times, and the last time they were bandits, not only were the precious stones and rare objects they exchanged for gone, but also seven or eight men and four mules and camels were broken. Not only did I not make any money that time, but I also lost hundreds of goods.

As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger, and this is true.

He asked about the things ahead, Cao Xu thought for a while and said, "After the year, you let Fang Jin come over, I don't plan to do anything else, I have to find another way out." ”

"Not doing it?"

Song Ercai looked at him with some surprise.

Cao Xu nodded and said: "We have made a lot of money in the past few years, even if the news is tight, people have heard the rumors, I am afraid that there will not only be bandits in the back, but also those officials who need silver will also come to make up their minds." ”

Cao Xu has experience in this area, he said that he couldn't do it, Song Ercai didn't ask much, and arched: "I'll let "him" come over after the year." ”

Back in town, it was getting late.

After eating, Song Er asked Ah Xiu about today's entry into the city, Ah Xiu was silent and didn't say anything, only said that he would see Cao Xu next year and make plans.

The matter of going to the sea at the beginning was also the result of her discussion with Cao Xu, and Song Er knew very well that the girl in front of her had an idea, so she didn't ask again.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after arranging the affairs of the town, Song Ercai returned to the village with half a car.

The car stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and Mr. Song came out with a few juniors to greet him.

Song Sancai unloaded the threshold, and his eyes were hot when he saw the oil in the car.

Song Ercai glanced at him, pointed to the two packets of things on the side and said, "These two packs of fine white noodles are for you and your eldest brother, so you don't need to send them to the hall, just take them to the room." ”

"Ah, second brother, how can this be done."

Song Sancai couldn't help it, and said no, but he had already carried the bag in his hand.

At this time, Song Qing, who had grown into a half-grown girl, also came over, and saw the third uncle's style with a burst of contempt in her heart.

A few years ago, the Song family divided the land of the old couple, the second room did not participate, the big house and the third room quarreled for most of the day, and they almost started to move, and the relationship was bad again.
