Chapter 192: Pastoral. Catch up with the market in the county
Night came quickly, Lu Haitang slept from noon to now, heard someone knocking on the door in the haze, rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and opened the door.
Seeing that Lu Xingshen was wearing a patch robe covering his ankles outside the door but was still a little thin, his eyes lit up, and he thought that Lu Xingshen remembered who he was, and the next second he saw the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.
"What is this?"
Suddenly remembered the conversation I heard at the door of their house at noon, it turned out that Lu Xingshen had brought her food, and he was a little moved and welcomed him into the house.
Lu Xingshen didn't expect Lu Haitang to only wear a white long dress, slightly surprised, her long hair was scattered, she was thrillingly beautiful, her white and delicate collarbones were clearly visible, and she instantly shifted her gaze, handed over the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and didn't dare to enter the house.
"Grandma asked me to send it over, only some pickles and brown rice, I hope Miss Begonia doesn't mind."
Lu Haitang took the dishes and chopsticks, and before she could say anything to thank her, Lu Xingshen handed her a quilt full of patches but very clean, it turned out that it was the quilt that had just been placed in the basket on the ground.
Hurriedly put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, took the thin quilt that Lu Xingshen was holding, and looked at Lu Xingshen whose cheeks were sunken, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak.
"Thank you."
Although the quilt is a little shabby, there is a faint scent of soap, and it can be seen that Lu Xingshen still loves to be clean.
At this time, the pair of bright eyes under the thick curly eyelashes of the deer begonia were so beautiful that they were not like words, Lu Xingshen was a little nervous, and when he saw that the deer begonia accepted the quilt, he pretended to be calm and replied:
"No thanks."
After that, he turned to leave, and looked back at the lonely thatched house, with some sympathy.
The deer begonia quilt was placed on the soft cushion, came to the table and opened the lid on the bowl, a bowl full of brown rice, some pickles and a boiled egg on it, tasted it, it tasted good.
"The salty ingredients taste the same as before......
He must have done it himself.
Lu Haitang couldn't help but want to take out all the good things in the treasure schoolbag and hand them to Lu Xingshen, but he couldn't see his suffering appearance for a moment, and finished the meal with complicated feelings.
————
Early the next morning, Lu Haitang changed into a dark purple dress that was resistant to dirt, and she did not mop the floor, so it would not be dirty, and it was suitable for traveling, after all, she had to go to the county seat to buy things today.
I went out and looked left and right, but I didn't see Lu Xingshen, so I could only carry the treasure on the road alone, and according to the route given by the treasure, I quickly arrived at Linjiang County with light work.
Linjiang County is a good environment, surrounded by a prayer river, with many boats and workers helping to unload goods on the wharf, and the streets are paved with stone slabs and slightly muddy.
Lu Haitang had a lot to buy, so he rented a carriage for loading goods and led the horses along the street to buy the things he needed.
First of all, you have to buy kitchen utensils, pots and pans, then the necessities in the bedroom, pillows and bedding, etc., and buy a bed curtain.
Finally, I saw that there was no place to sell food for several laps, so I could only buy some rice and noodles, buy some meat and vegetables, and fill a large cart to the brim, so I temporarily stopped purchasing.
The 1,000 taels of silver exchanged for gold leaves have already cost more than 300 taels, and in exchange for the economic conditions of Orchard Village, it is only more than 200 taels of silver a year, and Lu Haitang can be regarded as a luxury.
It was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon when I left the city, and the weather was not very good, and the black clouds were thick, and it was obviously either snow or rain.
Lu Haitang thought of Lu Xingshen, who even had a pair of good shoes, parked the carriage in a fully customized ready-to-wear store, and chose to choose a set of black collared robes, just ordinary brocade, which was not expensive, plus a pair of black felt boots, a total of only twenty taels of silver.
"That's it, boss, help install it."
Lu Xingshen must look good when he wears it, but he is too thin now and doesn't seem to be able to hold up.
The owner of the garment store was shocked by the appearance of Lu Haitang, and he had never seen such a beautiful woman in this place in Linjiang County.
"The girl's eye is really good, not long after this set was made, others dislike it a little expensive, but this black satin is extremely strong, and those people don't know the goods."
"Beautiful."
Lu Haitang liked this set, handed the silver to the boss, took the clothes back to the carriage, put everything in a pile, looked at the rain that was about to rain, covered all the carriage shelves with an oilcloth and bought an umbrella, and drove the carriage to prepare to go out of the city. ,
Suddenly, a crowd of people gathered around the city gate, and a few muffled grunts were heard, and then a young man dressed in a black and brown cloth was pushed down on the stone path.
Among them, the man with a big shoulder and a round waist looked angry, pointed to the thing that the young man was holding in his arms, and shouted loudly:
"Today's salary is only ten copper coins, how can you have the money to buy sixty copper dollars of rice? You must have stolen my money!! And quibble! Don't look at how poor your family is, how can you afford rice? ”
"Fugui, don't fight, the extra fifty copper coins may be saved by the family, we still know Lu Xingshen's personality, how can we steal your money?"
The old people who helped to move the goods around persuaded Fugui, who was so angry that he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and he also knew Lu Xingshen's personality.
Lu Haitang didn't expect that Lu Xingshen was bullied, drove the carriage to the side of the group of people, jumped down with great agility, and watched Lu Xingshen holding a bag of rice, the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood, and the anger came up in an instant, kicking Fugui, who was a head taller than her, into the air.
"Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard? Do you have the ability to compare with me? What a piece of garbage, a mere fifty copper coins will beat people like this. ”
Qi Fugui was kicked violently and smashed to the ground, as if the bones in his body were about to be broken, and he was so painful that he couldn't make a sound.
This scene stunned everyone present, and they didn't expect a delicate beauty to kick people away with one kick, so they couldn't help but swallow their saliva and took a few steps back.
"It's horrible! Is this still human? ”
The men who originally wanted to talk to them were also stunned to look at Qi Fugui on the ground rolling on the ground in pain, and they didn't dare to get close to half a minute again.
Lu Xingshen was even more surprised, he didn't expect to meet the Begonia girl here, and he still appeared in front of her with such an embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly wanted to stand up with his body supported.
"Begonia girl, don't do it......"
He didn't want to get her in trouble.
Lu Haitang's anger did not dissipate, he took out a handful of copper coins and smashed them on Qi Fugui's face, threatening: "The money was not stolen by him, it was earned from me yesterday, you may not know where you lost your money, this is the medical expenses, hurry up and get out of this boss!" ”
"You're ......!"
Qi Fugui was blinded by Lu Haitang, looking at the money scattered everywhere, he didn't feel pain in an instant, picked up the copper coin before the people around him reacted, glanced at the heroic and domineering beauty in horror, and ran away in a panic.
Lu Haitang picked up Lu Xingshen, who had no weight, glared at the people who still wanted to see the excitement, and saw them disperse, so he helped Lu Xingshen to the carriage, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with concern:
"Does it hurt?"
The corners of my lips are broken, and it must be painful.
Lu Xingshen had never been so close to the woman, and subconsciously avoided Lu Haitang's veil, seeing that Lu Haitang was slightly stiff, he stretched out his hand and took the handkerchief, wiping off the blood stains indiscriminately.
"It's okay, thank you Miss Begonia for breaking the siege."
The kick just now was huge, and it was practiced at a glance, and I couldn't help but be suspicious of Lu Haitang's identity, how could such kung fu encounter the death of both parents of the bandit?
