She pretended not to know, held her head and listened carefully, and after listening to it, she was interested, and there were female officials in the Great Yuan Dynasty.

couldn't help but ask, "That woman is also allowed to engage in business, right?" ”

Qi Yunqing pondered for a few seconds, glanced at her and said, "Yes, but only a few." ”

Although there are female officials in the Da'an Dynasty, the restraints of women are still quite harsh.

Although it is not impossible to go out of the door, and the second door is not to step out, if a woman goes out in business and shows her head, I am afraid that few men can accept it.

Su Jin nodded, as long as this dynasty allows, she is not afraid of other people's eyes, not to mention that she has no intention of getting married.

After that, Qi Yunqing read it to her for a while, and it was almost dark, so she gave up.

Needless to say at night, Su Jin rolled into Qi Yunqing's arms again, Xu was used to it two days ago, and Qi Yunqing didn't resist much.

A dreamless night.

……

In the early morning, there was a light rain outside, and the rain flowed down the grass eaves into droplets of water and fell on the yellow mud floor, smashing out a row of small potholes of different depths.

The cool breeze came in through the window, and Su Jin, who was not covered with a quilt, shivered, and then opened her eyes and found that there was no Qi Yunqing on her side.

Out of the house, go to the side house.

Li He was doing embroidery, and when he saw her standing at the door, he said with a smile: "The rice is warm in the pot." ”

Su Jin nodded, turned his head and glanced at Gongfang, the curtain was ajar, and there was no one inside.

"Mother, where is Yunqing?"

"I went to Wang Langzhong's house, saying that it was delayed by repairing the roof last day, so I went to Wang's house to make up for it."

Su Jin let out an "oh", turned around and went to the kitchen, and quickly drank up the porridge.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the dead snake on the board, he was too tired yesterday to toss the dead snake.

Pick it up and smell it, maybe it rained last night, and the snake is not broken, but it is estimated that if it is left for another morning, the snake will not be able to eat.

She took a knife, went out of the kitchen, hid under the grass and cut the skin, and it took a long time to cut it out, and washed it in the rain for the first time.

Then he used a stoneware pot to cook snake meat, and the fire in the stove was very small, and it was estimated that Qi Yunqing would be able to eat it when he came back at noon.

After doing all this, he walked into the side room, looked at Li He and kept looking up at the house, and asked, "Is there something wrong with my mother?" ”

"Today, August 17th, it stands to reason that the merchant will come today, but it is raining today, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and the road is slippery when it rains, and I don't know if the merchant will come."

Li He's face was worried, and he said: "If the merchant doesn't come today, he will have to wait for ten days, and it happens that the Yunqing Private School will open on August 27......"

Originally, she thought that she gave the merchant twenty square handkerchiefs last time, and no matter how much she had 300 yuan, she would make up the difference of 200 yuan.

Although Yun Qing said that he had silver, she didn't want to put pressure on Yun Qing to stay up late to copy books in the future.

The rest of the words Su Jin knew what it was, and half a tael of silver was still difficult for her now, "Mother, how many squares have you made?" ”

"Thirteen." Li He didn't know what she meant by this, but he still counted the square pa.

"If the merchant doesn't come today, I'll go to the town before dawn tomorrow and ask if there's any cloth to collect."

"I think that my mother's handkerchief is very well embroidered, and I think Buzhuang will definitely accept it."

In fact, Su Jin has no bottom in her heart, but if she doesn't try everything, how can she know that it won't work.

Hearing this, the sorrow on Li He's face has not been reduced by half, and the cloth village has a special embroidery girl, how can she accept the handkerchief made by her.

But that's all there is to it.

……

At noon, Qi Yunqing didn't come back for lunch, and Li He and Su Jin pretended to have something in their hearts, so they didn't use lunch.

Until it was dark and the rain was still falling, the merchant naturally did not come, Li He's face was obviously much uglier, and when he ate dinner, he only ate a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

Qi Yunqing put down his chopsticks and asked, "Mother, what's uncomfortable?" ”

Li He smiled reluctantly: "It may be that the body is tired." With that, he got up and went back to his room.

Looks like I'm going to have to go to town early tomorrow morning.

After Su Jin waited for Qi Yunqing to finish eating, he quickly cleaned up the table, and then went into the room and turned over a set of clothes without patches and put them on the pillow.

Then I found a money bag for the ten cents in the pillow and put it on top of my clothes.

Qi Yunqing was undressing her coat, and when she saw her walking around the house, she asked gently, "Where are you going tomorrow?" ”

"Go to town and buy some rice."

Su Jin didn't want him to know about the bad money, and always felt that he just had to study in peace.

Maybe it's because of the distress of his past experience.

"I'm with you." As soon as Qi Yunqing's words fell, Su Jin refused.

He didn't say anything after that.

……

The next day, before dawn, the first rooster crow sounded in the village.

Su Jinjing woke up suddenly, and as soon as she got up, Qi Yunqing next to her also got up, wearing her clothes silently.

Su Jin was afraid that refusing to arouse his suspicions, so he simply left him alone, thinking that he would find an opportunity to break him away when he got to the town.

When the two went out, Li He's house had not yet opened.

Because of the rain yesterday, and the fact that the sky was a little dark, the dirt road was not easy to walk, Su Jin was afraid of stepping on a puddle, and when he saw it, he slower a lot.

Qi Yunqing glanced at her, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Follow behind me and follow my steps." ”

Su Jin hesitated, nodded, and then landed behind him.

After that, the two didn't say anything all the way, and it was already three poles in the day when they arrived in town.

Su Jin estimated that the two of them would have walked for more than two hours, and if they were to walk on weekdays, it might take an hour and a half.

No wonder the people in the village let the merchant bring everything.

I am afraid that it will delay the day back and forth, which is not cost-effective for the villagers.

It's the busiest time in town, with people coming and going, and vendors on both sides shouting and shouting.

Su Jin followed Qi Yunqing through the crowd, and soon came to an old man.

The old man seemed to know Qi Yunqing, and greeted him warmly, "Yunqing, come to buy rice again?" ”

"Hmm." In the past, he bought the rice at home, and as soon as he came and went, he became familiar with this old man.

Although some people in the village sell rice, the price is a few pennies more expensive than the town market.

Xu saw that his Xiao Qi family had no land, so he was easy to bully.

Touching the rice in the cloth bag, she glanced at Qi Yunqing and tried to discuss, "Why don't we go shopping for a while?" ”

She has only ten copper plates on her, and it is estimated that she can only buy one pound of rice, and he will definitely be suspicious at that time.

"Hmm." Qi Yunqing didn't ask more, said to the old man and left.

The two walked around the town for almost a while, and Su Jin found that there were only two cloth villages in the town, one of which was in the town, and there were some guests in it.

The other one is in the west of the town, the location is a little off, and there are not many people, so it is estimated that it will be in vain.

Su Jin put his mind on the embroidery workshop in the town, and glanced at Qi Yunqing's side face, "I'll go to Buzhuang to buy some things." ”

"I'm with you." Qi Yun's cold eyes fell on her face, and her eyes crossed a trace of inquiry, always feeling that she had something to hide from him.

Su Jin's heart tightened slightly, and he hurriedly said: "You still wait for me under the banyan tree, I want to buy ......"

After a pause as he spoke, his cheeks turned crimson, and his voice couldn't be lower, "Belly pocket." ”
