Chapter 45: Ripples

It was not until a long time after the quiet departure that the old village chief woke up from that painful memory. Zhao Mingyi saw that his grandfather didn't understand the meaning of the quiet words, so he said out loud: "Grandpa, do you know what the girl of the An family came to say these things for?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you come to tell me that there were more people begging in the town and that the price of food was rising? When the old village chief saw his grandson asking, he was a little puzzled.

"But that's what it means, there are many people begging, and the food grows again. also talked about the snowstorm after the drought many years ago, why did Sister Jing not even bother to eat lunch, so she came to talk to Grandpa? Sister Quiet is such a busy person, it won't be to talk a few words with Grandpa, right? Zhao Mingyi said to the old village chief.

"Oh, this girl is here to remind me! No, I have to go and gather the people in the village for a meeting. The old village chief slapped his forehead and hurried out of the courtyard.

Zhao Mingyi, who was sitting in the courtyard, thought to himself at this time: No wonder a quiet woman can live a more and more prosperous life. It's no wonder that Quiet can teach Youyou's younger brother so well. It turns out that she is so smart, so wise, and so kind. How many families can be saved by this quiet reminder today? And how many lives can be saved? This is a man who does good deeds but does not want to be named.

Thinking like this, Quiet's soft-spoken and chuckling appearance was deeply imprinted in Zhao Mingyi's mind and lingered. It also made Zhao Mingyi's always calm heart lake ripple a little.

How did the old village chief tell the villagers? How is it arranged? Quiet didn't pay any more attention. Because the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, she is going to the town today. Today, not only to buy some for the holidays, but also to sell embroidery. One of the important things is that she wants to buy people. Yes, I heard you right, it's to buy people. The family now has a large house to live in, and they have cattle and land. Jiaming was studying in the town again, and she had to be picked up every few days, and she didn't want to burden her two younger sisters too much, nor did she want to waste time on unnecessary things. So, Quiet decided to buy a few people. On weekdays, I wash clothes and cook a meal, clean and clean the house, Jiaming can pick up and drop off Jiaming when he is on vacation, and he can also take a hand when he is busy with farming. In this way, when she goes out, her sisters at home can also be taken care of, and she doesn't have to worry about the family. It's a lot of money.

The embroidery of peace of mind has completed two pieces, one is a landscape map, and the other is a hundred longevity map. The landscape map was painted by Jiayue, and the mountains and flowing water are very meaningful. I have to say that Jiayue really has a talent for painting, and this landscape picture quietly mentions a poem "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall", which makes the whole work go to a higher level. I still remember Jiaming's surprised little expression when he saw this poem. also called the eldest sister the most talented woman in the world, and he wanted to learn more from the eldest sister in the future. It's funny to think about it now, what talent? It's just a matter of moving one or two of the fruits of China's 5,000-year-old cultural accumulation. To paraphrase modern parlance, her behavior is pure plagiarism, and at worst, plagiarism.

The Hundred Longevity Chart is a quiet idea, consisting of ninety-nine small longevity characters to form a large longevity character, which means longevity and longevity. Throughout the ages, whether poor or rich, whether it is an emperor at the top or an ordinary person living at the bottom, everyone hopes that they can live a long life, or even immortality. This kind of good embroidery will naturally be sold at a high price.

When he arrived in the town, he tied the ox cart to the horse tethering stake outside the embroidery building, and quietly took two pairs of embroidery into the show building. When Quiet came in, the proprietress had just made a deal. Quietly smiled and stepped forward and said, "The boss lady has negotiated a deal early in the morning, and the business is really prosperous, and the money is rolling!" ”

The proprietress raised her head and saw that it was quiet, and said with a smile, "The girl really has a clever mouth, and the words she says make people listen, just like drinking a cup of sour plum juice on dog days, which makes people feel very comfortable from the inside out." ”

"Since my words make the proprietress so comfortable, then the proprietress of the embroidery I brought must give a high price, otherwise I will not follow." Quietly said with a smile and a joke. After the words fell, he put the two embroideries he had brought on the counter and unfolded them.

The proprietress looked at the two embroideries, her eyes shining. He took the embroidery in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said with a smile: "The embroidery brought by the girl is good for embroidery and good patterns." I don't frame the girl, so I give the girl one hundred and twenty taels of silver for two pairs of embroidery. What does the girl think? Maybe he was afraid of being quiet and disagreed, so he hurriedly said, "This price is in Zhoujia Town, I dare to pat my chest and say that it is a first-class high price." ”

"The price given by the proprietress is naturally fair, and I also believe in the proprietress of the proprietress , otherwise I wouldn't have come here to sell embroidery." The price of this embroidery is not too clear, but her estimate in her heart is about one hundred taels. The price given by the proprietress is considered a high price.

Two pairs of embroidery were sold for a hundred and twenty taels of silver. In this small place of Zhoujia Town, it is considered to be the highest price. You must know that a little girl can earn more than 100 taels of silver in two or three months, not to mention Zhoujia Town, even the entire county is rare. Anxin's exquisite embroidery can really feed a family. Thinking that Xin'er knew that her embroidery sold for so much silver, maybe how could she be happy? It's quiet and cheerful.

Putting the silver ticket handed over by the proprietress into her arms, she thought about the main purpose of coming to the town today, and asked the proprietress quietly: "Does the proprietress know which dental store in this town has a good reputation and good reputation?" ”

Banniang was stunned: "Does the girl want to buy someone?" ”

"Yes, my younger siblings are young, and I don't often stay at home, so I want to buy two honest and loyal people to take care of my younger siblings."

"That's right, the girl's younger siblings are young, so don't they have to be taken care of by an ordinary person. Besides, the person who bought it can rest assured that he is using it, after all, he has a deed of sale in his hand. If you want to say that there are only two Yaxing in this town, one is in the east of the town and the other is in the south of the town. If you want to say that this has a good reputation, it has to belong to the one in Zhennan, the people trained by his family are very good, and the net worth is also innocent, but the price is slightly more expensive. The price of the house in the east of the town is much cheaper, but the reputation is not very good, the people in the hands are also mixed, and the net worth is also a little unclear. ”

Quietly listened to what the proprietress said, and she had a number in her heart, "Thank you for telling the proprietress so that I can also know in my heart." I knew I was right to ask you about it. Who doesn't know that the proprietress has a bodhisattva heart! ”

"Ouch! You girl, why is your mouth so sweet? The words that come out are like honey, so that people will hear the sweetness of their hearts. The proprietress squinted at a quiet and boastful smile.

Bidding farewell to the proprietress of the hostess, he quietly drove the ox cart to the south of the town.
