Chapter 344: Belt
Wu Rouxiang was overwhelmed, and asked Cai Qiuran to understand, Cai Qiuran opened her innocent eyes and said in surprise: "Really!?" I didn't know she had a mother at home. ”
Wu Rouxiang had the intention to show Cai Qiuran's ruthlessness, and brought that mother with her, so that she could grab Cai Qiuran's skirt and cry non-stop.
Cai Qiuran didn't let people pull her, but said softly: "It's already sold, why don't you beg your sister-in-law to ask your sister-in-law, so that she can sell you and Ying'er together, so that you two can be companions?" ”
The mother had already inquired about her daughter's whereabouts, and knew that she was sold to a businessman's house outside the city as a maidservant, and it seemed that she was still taking care of the young master, which was not bad, she was really a little moved, and looked at Wu Rouxiang hesitantly.
"I'm dizzy for you! The good land does not wait, but goes outside to suffer. Tsui Sakura scolded.
Is it a good place? Everyone knows it. Wu Rouxiang's dowry is still there, but most of them are dead things, and there are few who can make money.
The Lu family's subsidies are all subsidies for their sons and grandsons, and Wu Rouxiang is guarded against as a thief, Wu Rouxiang is not rich in her own hands, how can she be generous to the people below?
The farce between the two concubines came to the next person again, and the trouble was known to everyone in the house, Cai Yuran gave the mother some silver to comfort, and soon the style was different again.
Wu Rouxiang reacted in hindsight, those two high-value maids were two pieces of incense bait, she actually took a bite of it, Cai Yuran was going to make trouble in her courtyard!
"In the end, that girl nodded, I said how did I pick up such a small portal, it turned out to be a person who could bite."
Lu heard that Wu Rouxiang saw Xiaoli suffer a big loss, and said it as a joke several times, but Cai Qiran's temperament is so powerful, but she can be enveloped in front of Zheng Qijun, seeing that others who are stirring up with them are not happy, but her courtyard is becoming more and more impermeable, and she is not comfortable in her heart.
The people who were planted in the Changju Courtyard by the Lu family had news delivered every few days, but they were not allowed to wait nearby, most of these messages were trivial and useless, and they only knew that Zheng Qijun's study did have important things, although it was not locked, there was always no shortage of people staring at the door.
Lu Shi was most interested in this news, took a sip of tea, and said to Yuegui: "Has your brother gone to Shuojing?" ”
Yue Gui bowed her head and said, "I'm already working in that pawnshop." ”
Zheng Qijun has a pawnshop in Shuojing, he is not very proficient in the pawn line, but there is a friend who opened a pawnshop in his early years, and it is difficult to recover from the backwardness of the family.
Zheng Mianmian also knows about this pawnshop, and it is a coincidence that the shopkeeper Xue of this pawnshop is not only friends with Zheng Qijun, but also a brother with Li Ping.
On this day, the shopkeeper Xue asked someone to hand over a message to Zheng Mianmian, saying that there was a set of dead jewelry in the pawnshop, and the condition was quite good, and asked Zheng Mianmian if he wanted to take a look.
After Zheng Mianmian and Li Ping got married, Aunt Wan completely handed over the family's accounts to her, she is now a daily total of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, but how can a woman save makeup, Zheng Mianmian is looking for benefits, and the shopkeeper Xue is able to provide her with this benefit.
This set of jewelry is really good, the color of red agate is pure, quite atmospheric and dignified, and because of this, Zheng Mianmian feels that it is not quite commensurate with this jewelry.
She was sitting idly behind the pawnshop, and saw an ink ingot, smelling a lot of ink, thinking that the things in Li Ping's study came and went only those, and she had the idea of buying it, so she asked the guy to get it.
"You're new here?" When Zheng Mianmian heard the girl ask, she looked up at the guy, and sure enough, he was a one-eyed man.
"Madam, if you like this ink ingot, you will have to wait a few more days, although it is a job, the day of redemption is approaching, so you will take it out." The guy smiled at the girl and said.
"Okay, then I'll come back in two days." She didn't know much about these things, and thought that she would bring Li Ping with her that day.
Li Pingyuan said no, but Zheng Mianmian said that he didn't want money to take a look, so he dragged him here, although Zheng Mianmian didn't understand, but his eyes were there, and what he saw couldn't be wrong.
Scholars probably have some fetishes in this regard, and Li Ping couldn't put his hands down as soon as he picked it up, so he stood up and looked at it over and over again in his hand, but he was reluctant to take out this silver.
Shopkeeper Xue was laughing at him 'haha', there was a guest from outside the pawnshop, and he was an acquaintance anyway, so he left them and went to greet the guest.
Zheng Mianmian looked at Li Ping with bright eyes, with a smile in her eyes, "If you like it, buy it." ”
Li Ping shook his head and said, "This piece of ink is too good, I am reluctant to use it if I buy it back, and it is a pity to keep it." ”
"Will the ink ingots go bad?" Zheng Mianmian asked.
Li Ping looked at her with a look of curiosity, and inexplicably felt cute, and said with a smile: "This is not going to happen, some people still use good ink to make a dowry for their daughter to press the bottom of the box, the heavier it is, the more valuable it is." ”
"That's not it, you can't use it, just save it. The good things in our house should also be accumulated little by little. "Zheng Mianmian calculated, they can afford it.
Li Ping lowered his eyes and was thinking about it, and some small conversations behind him came into his ears, Zheng Mianmian saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and he muttered: "Golden jade belt? ”
Li Ping gently put down the ink ingot, and glanced at Zheng Mianmian, Zheng Mianmian didn't know why, so he didn't say anything first, just watched Li Ping walk towards the pawnshop, he squeezed the guy away and stood side by side with the shopkeeper Xue, as if he was looking at the plate of things to be on the cabinet.
Li Ping didn't know what to say, the guy glanced at him, his brows were slightly furrowed, his face was not good, and he was just looked at by Zheng Mianmian.
Li Ping was looked at with contemptuously like this, Zheng Mianmian was naturally very unhappy, and said to the girl: "Tell that guy to watch the tea." ”
"Huh?" The girl is a little puzzled, isn't this tea already on the table?
However, she listened to Zheng Mianmian's words the most, and immediately went to call the guy, only saying that the lady wanted to drink hot tea.
Seeing that the guy was a little hesitant to do it, the girl said very strangely, "What's the matter?" Isn't Shopkeeper Xue here? It's not that I can't leave you. ”
"You're laughing, let's go." He lowered his head and hid the flickering cruelty.
After a while, Li Ping walked back with Shopkeeper Xue, Shopkeeper Xue didn't know why, he took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his sweat, and the fine beads of sweat on his head didn't know why he was so hot.
Zheng Mianmian said with a smile: "Why is Brother Xue so hot, there are still a few days left in the summer!" ”
Shopkeeper Xue smiled dryly, obviously didn't have any intention of joking, the tea brought by the guy just let him drink, he held the empty tea bowl for a while, and said solemnly to Li Ping: "Brother Ping, thanks to you today, I thought I could pick up a leak, my eyes were confused, and I almost caused trouble, I can't eat this thing." ”
"Brother Xue, don't be so polite, I also think it's strange to hear it, when I was in the academy, I heard Mr. talk about it, saying that when those princes raided the house, many things were swept away by the servants, and the things next to them were not branded, but we can't keep things like this gold and jade belt. Those who have a heart want to be investigated, but I am afraid that they will be imprisoned. ”
A few years ago, someone just collected a collection of poems by the eighth prince at home, and said that he had a heart of remembrance for the rebellious ministers, and he had no intention of being subordinate to the current saints.
"That belt is also really charming eyes, fortunately, your heart is as fine as dust, and you recognize the dragon pattern, this dragon pattern is really rare, I thought it was a kiss!"
The dragon shape was deliberately made to resemble a kiss, but I am afraid that the eighth prince already had the intention of rebellion at that time, this idea Li Ping just thought about it and didn't dare to say it.
The shopkeeper Xue wanted to give the ink ingot to Li Ping, but Li Ping insisted on refusing, after paying, the couple walked home, and suddenly heard someone calling behind them, it turned out to be the guy, he handed over a box, which was a gold and silver wire double-strand flat-headed hairpin, which was not very valuable, but full of weight and not cheap. What I saw was that the things were passable, but they were not so valuable that their husbands and wives refused to accept them.
After the guy finished delivering the things, he left, Zheng Mianmian glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and said to Li Ping: "This person is not good, I see that when he talks to Brother Xue, this person stares at you with a bad face, as if you have ruined his good deeds." ”
Zheng Mianmian thought of what to say, and when she said it, both of them were stunned.
"I'll send you back first, and I'll come back later, and talk to Brother Xue."
Li Ping thought about it, and heard Zheng Mianmian say this, this guy is indeed a little weird, so it's safer.
Shopkeeper Xue naturally preferred to believe whether he had something or not, and swept the guy out of the house, and later the girl actually saw him in Zheng Qijun's other shop.
Zheng Mianmian hid and did not show up, but she was afraid that she would appear in front of him twice or three times, which also made this person doubt the relationship between Zheng Qijun and her.
Li Ping felt that there was a lot of meaning behind it, but the shopkeeper Xue was a lonely person, he didn't like to be restrained, he hadn't married so far, and there were no living elders in the family, so he could only come to Zheng Qijun.
Li Ping already knew Zheng Mianmian's life experience, and he not only felt more pity for her, but also respected his wife and sister who had never met, and Zheng Qijun, his brother-in-law, although he had never met, his life was full of his favors.
Now that he suspects that someone is not good for his wife and brother, how can he stay out of the matter, Li Ping repaired a letter, wrote down the ins and outs of the future, and asked Zheng Qijun to send the people in his own shop to the capital.
When Zheng Qijun received this letter, he was bending down to pick up the plum on the top of the basket, he took a bite, squinted his eyes and said to the shopkeeper of Xianguo Zhai: "Tsai sour!" Are you planning to find out whose wife has a body, knocking on the door of every household to sell? ”
"If you don't buy these sour plums, you won't trust us with the best yellow apricots." The shopkeeper said helplessly.
Zheng Qijun took the letter handed over by the guy casually, and thought that Zheng Mianmian had something to need, but when he saw Li Ping's payment above, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Alas, who called people apricots are delicious."
He walked to the back of the shop as if he was nothing, opened the letter along the way, and when he sat down in the wing, he had already read the contents of the letter, Zheng Qijun pressed the letter paper on the table, rubbed the corner of his forehead, and said to himself in a cold voice: "Okay, it's really hard work." ”
