Chapter 90: Catch the Thief
Soon, the news of Tian Ruyue's success in making bowls spread throughout the village, and the neighbors came to watch her make bowls with various excuses.
Qian refused to let them see it on the grounds that his skills could not be passed on, but he generously took out the successfully fired bowl for them to admire, with praise and sarcasm.
A few days later, Tian Duofu returned again and brought back all the bowls that had been successfully fired, causing a lot of turmoil in the village.
Qian took the opportunity to propose a plan to sell bowls, two bowls for a penny, and pick at will.
Because the cheapest bowl sold by the kiln factory is a penny, and if it is a patterned one, it is more expensive. In comparison, although the bowl made by Tian Ruyue is a bit ugly, it is cheaper! Six bowls were sold out on the spot.
After sending the leaders away, Tian Ruyue turned around and asked the Qian family for money.
Qian only took out a penny of Qian Zhenzhen's words: "You eat me and drink me every day, and I also let your father accompany you to the mountain to dig clay, which has to be counted in it, so if you take a penny, I must also have a penny!" β
Tian Ruyue thought about it with a calm face: "Yes." He stretched out his hand again: "Give me the money from the eldest brother, and I will help him save it, so that some people will send it to the fourth brother again." β
Qian: !!!
Tian Duofu, who originally thought he would be a sandwich biscuit, looked at Tian Ruyue with red eyes and was moved.
He used to be willing to give everything for his fourth brother, but now that he is old enough to marry a wife, no one cares, and all the matchmakers want to befriend the fourth brother...... He felt uncomfortable.
Seeing the two of them arguing, Tian's mother reached out and tugged at Tian's father's sleeve and motioned for him to hurry up and help.
Tian's father had already known from Tian's mother that Tian Ruyue would help Tian Duofu save money to marry a daughter-in-law. He has always felt guilty about not being able to help his eldest son get married, and now that he has such an opportunity in front of him, he naturally supports it.
"Mother, let Sanya save his share of Duofu, don't worry, we will keep an eye on this girl, if she dares to spend money indiscriminately, we will not be the first to spare her."
Only then did Tian's mother dare to agree.
Seeing that they were colluding, what else could Qian say, he was angry and took out the penny he had just received and smashed it directly on Tian Duofu's head: "Take it!" He turned around and went into the house in a huff.
Tian Duofu was smashed but smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, bent down and picked up a penny, and solemnly held it in front of Tian Ruyue. This is the first money that really belongs to him! Agitated!
Tian Ruyue stretched out her hand to take it and put it in a money bag alone.
Everyone smiled happily, but Tian Ruxiang, who was standing in the corner, bit her lip hatefully and remained silent.
All the money she earned by desperately embroidering handkerchiefs was handed over to her grandmother, but the silver earned by the third sister making bowls could be kept for herself? Why! Why!! Why!!
But she didn't dare to find trouble with Tian Ruyue, let alone the Qian family, so she could only keep roaring in her heart with grievances.
As the days passed, with the improvement of Tian Ruyue's craftsmanship, more and more people came to buy bowls, and the reputation gradually spread to other villages.
The monotonous bowl was almost sold, and she began to engrave or paint on the bowl, and the price naturally rose, becoming a penny a bowl, but it was still cheaper than the kiln factory, and the purse gradually bulged.
The Qian family, who is made of heaven and earth, can get cash into the account every few days, and people have begun to become generous, and the Tian family finally has lunch!
Tian Duocai, who used to go to school every day and never went home, also started to go home at noon, and brought a message: He would take Tian Ruhua to Tian's house for dinner for the rest of his life in the evening.
The Qian family attached great importance to the first grandson-in-law of Yu Sheng, and ordered Tian Ruyue to go to the market to buy half a catty of pork but did not pay a penny, calculating to let her spend money.
For Tian Ruhua's sake, Tian Ruyue didn't bother with her, this time she didn't bring a black boy, and went on the road happily alone.
Because it was already afternoon, she walked to the capital to catch the market until it was dark, so Tian Ruyue decided to give money a free ride no matter what car she encountered on the road.
I was lucky enough to come across a horse-drawn cart, but the price was twice as expensive as the ox cart.
In order to hurry up, Tian Ruyue didn't make a counteroffer, sat in the carriage, groped around, lifted the curtain and looked out.
The carriage was more than twice as fast as the last time I walked, and soon arrived at the market, Tian Ruyue did not rush to buy meat after paying the car after getting off the car, but wandered aimlessly.
Because she once became a poor egg, she only watched it and didn't buy it.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief! Stop him for me!! β
The shouts of catching thieves suddenly sounded in her ears, and Tian Ruyue turned her head to look over.
I saw a few family members chasing a ragged beggar straight at her!
She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the beggar had already bumped into her body and both fell to the ground.
When other passers-by saw Tian Ruyue suffering, they reacted and hurriedly flashed aside.
The beggar didn't care about the pain, got up and continued to run.
Tian Ruyue sighed in pain, and was about to find someone to settle the account, but the beggar ran away, and the family bypassed her and continued to chase the beggar.
"Unlucky!" Tian Ruyue slowed down for a moment, felt that her body was no longer painful, and then stood up, just in time to see that the family members were outnumbered, and they had already grabbed the beggar and asked him to hand over the money bag.
But the beggar cried out: "I didn't steal anything at all, and you can't bully others." β
The leading steward sneered: "You didn't steal it, so our son-in-law's money bag ran away with long legs?" Give me a body search! With a wave of his hand, the other family members immediately stepped forward to search their bodies.
Throw oneβs weight around? Tian Ruyue pricked up her ears and gradually approached, and heard other passers-by talking in whispers.
"They seem to be the family members of the Shang family of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War."
"Looking at the arrogant momentum of these families, they should be people under the hands of Changfang Shangwenwu."
"I heard that this Shang Wenwu is not learned and has no skills, and he lingers in the flowers all day long, and he is still a narrow-minded person who will repay him. If the beggar had stolen his money, he would have disappeared. β
"Shhhhh......h
Tian Ruyue, who was walking by, pretended not to hear anything, looked up at the family, and saw that they searched the beggar's body and didn't find the money bag, and their angry fists and feet were added.
"Where did you hide your money bag? Hand it over! β
The beggar could only protect the vital point and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and shouted loudly: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun!" How can you rely on the people of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War to oppress the people, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Oops, ah! β
Who knew that the more he screamed, the more he was beaten.
The onlookers pointed and pointed, and reprimanded the military department Shangshu for conniving at the house slaves in the street.
Seeing that the gaffe was out of control, the leading steward glanced at the people under his hands, and several family members grabbed the beggar and took him away before continuing to teach the lesson.
The beggar cried and desperately begged for help from the people around him.
But since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, not to mention that the other party is still a member of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War. The people only dared to use words to force them to release them, but no one dared to really stop them.
Tian Ruyue stood next to her and stared at the crying beggar carefully, but she neither said anything to help nor helped.
"Stop!" A woman suddenly rushed out of the crowd and stopped the steward and others with the housekeeper. "How can you arrest people in broad daylight? Let the people go! β
As soon as this woman came out, the onlookers dared to echo it.
Several scholars stood out and walked to the woman's side and helped her denounce the steward and others.
Tian Ruyue took a look, yo, acquaintance!
