Chapter 126 Private Protection
When selling boiled river fish prescriptions, Boss Wang desperately lowered the price, and after the sale was completed, the meaning of Sister Qiu's words was very clear, she paid two taels of silver to invite Boss Wang to eat with Grandpa Wang, but she didn't expect that Grandpa Wang had set up an extra table out of his own pocket to invite them to eat in Liufanglou, which was very different from the original stingy and harsh image.
"He's ......" Sister Qiu thought about the price of 160 taels that Young Master Wang had offered, and Boss Wang's heartache was funny, and Zhang Ruoxu on the side smiled and said: "Doing business, I must want to make as much money as possible!" If I go to buy other people's prescriptions, I want to pay as little as possible. Now that we have finished talking about the deal, we should talk about friendship! Inviting us to eat this meal has nothing to do with buying and selling prices. ”
Zhu Pingshan looked at a few people and laughed with a little bit of taste in his heart, and Lin Zhun didn't say much from the beginning to the end, just listened to them chirp with a smile, chose a piece of meat on the belly of the river fish, and carefully went to the thorn clip to Sister Qiu, and took care of Dayin to eat.
He could see that Lin Zhun and Dayin were brothers, and he was about clear about the situation in Sister Qiu's family, Brother Jiang should not be Sister Qiu's relative, but Lin Zhun was so close to her, and Sister Qiu was also unconsciously inappropriate, and she accepted it calmly, as if it had been like this for a long time.
Zhu Pingshan didn't know the taste of the vegetables, and when people didn't pay attention, he peeked at Lin Zhun, did he look down on Lin Zhun, in all fairness, it seems that Lin Zhun is so handsome, and the little boy with a good temperament is good in the countryside, but he is still not worthy of Sister Qiu. Sister Qiu, this girl is smart, smart, and steadily understands things, listening to Zhang Ruoxu say that she is still the daughter of an old Xiucai, with Lin Zhun's soil bun that has studied privately for a year...... It's a meander!
The dishes in the Liufanglou are all very sufficient, ten dishes for six and a half children can't eat at all, Sister Qiu asked the guy for a few pieces of kraft paper, and the meat dishes were carefully packed with kraft paper, tied with straw rope and sturdy, ready to take home for Jia's to taste it.
Sister Qiu paid for the specialties of the two taverns, asked the guy to take the food box, and asked Zhu Pingshan to take him back to his uncle's house and add vegetables to his aunt and cousin.
Looking down from the upper floor, the streets are very lively, Sister Qiu expected that Huyang is not like Jiujiang is a small town, and there will be no one in the afternoon, so she wants everyone to go shopping together, which is considered to be a trip to Huyang in vain.
Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu shook their heads first, and said with a smile that they wanted Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu to go shopping with the big seal, and the two of them were here to watch the silver money, and after shopping for a while, they waited for Zhu Pingshan's car to drive to the Liufang Building to pick them up.
Sister Qiu saw that Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu were resolute, so she went out with Zhang Yuxiu with the big seal. It was already noon, and the streets were still rubbing shoulders and people, and the two of them were holding the palm of the big seal and walking forward slowly.
Because of the 160 taels of silver, Sister Qiu had never felt so confident, and said very generously to Zhang Yuxiu and Dayin that everything she bought today was all wrapped up in her.
But Zhang Yuxiu and Dayin are used to saving, the two have never seen such a lively street market, and they feel that they are not enough to see with both eyes, and after looking around, they feel that there is nothing to buy.
"The daughter of our Zhuang family, and she doesn't wear jewelry and makeup like those big guys and girls, and now she eats and wears warm, and there is really nothing to buy." Zhang Yuxiu said with a smile.
Sister Qiu knows that she is used to being thrifty and wants to save money, although the Zhang family is well-off, but there is no man in charge, Li Ailian wants to save the family money for Zhang Ruoxu to study, and after the Zhang family's aunt and father go, the Zhang family's life is very thrifty, and it has also become Zhang Yuxiu's temper.
"Then let's see what I can give to my aunt and my mother." Sister Qiu blinked and said with a smile, "Let's come out to play, my aunt and my mother are still doing work at home, so let's give them a bag!" ”
Piggyback is a dialect here, which means to bring gifts.
"Da Yin, take a look too, and bring all the bags of the eldest brother and your father, your father and mother!" Sister Qiu preached to Dayin.
Buying things for themselves are all lacking in interest, there is nothing to buy, but to buy things for the family, the two of them came to the spirit, the two of them were afraid of getting lost, holding hands and shopping in various stalls for a long time, and compared the prices of several houses, the most is to finally give Jia's, Li Ailian and Aunt Chunhua bought a piece of cotton cloth with white flowers on a blue background to make summer clothes, and three gilded copper hairpins, which are not worth much. The big seal for Dazhun and Zhang Ruoxu picked two sets of pen and ink and inkstone. What Lin really picked was a jar of wine known as "peach blossom brewing", and what Lin Ye picked was a round-bellied teapot.
Sister Qiu looked at the stall selling tobacco, stopped and thought about it, and bought 20 copper plates of high-quality tobacco, and the one who wanted to set up the stall wrapped it in paper. Mei Laosuo loves to smoke, but he doesn't seem to have any other hobbies besides smoking. Sister Qiu has always felt very complicated about Mei Laosuo's feelings, and Mei Laosuo is also a confused, but Sister Qiu's grievances are obvious, thinking about Mei Laosuo, she will think about Mei Laosuo when she broke up and had a head with Jia's family, she can't hate Mei Laosuo, in general, she is still a little more grateful.
As for Mao, Sister Qiu is not so kind. When passing by an embroidery stall, Sister Qiu chose a long day, selected an old camel-colored silk handkerchief, and used it to wrap the old lady's head, and simply embroidered the word "longevity" and a longevity peach on it, with rough stitches. Sister Qiu bargained with the dealer for a long time, but Sister Qiu insisted on only giving three cents, while the dealer asked for four cents.
"It's like a fabric, and the stitches are ugly, so it's worth a lot of money." Zhang Yuxiu was on the side to help.
Seeing that the dealer still didn't want to ask for the price, Sister Qiu simply said, "Forget it, I won't buy it." ”
The dealer was in a hurry, and hurriedly called back Sister Qiu, who had already walked a few steps, and finally sold for three cents.
After walking far away, Sister Qiu still looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand and felt heartache.
Zhang Yuxiu quipped: "You didn't frown at all the corners of your eyebrows when you just bought so many things and spent so much money, and it hurts to buy a three-cent silk handkerchief!" ”
Sister Qiu pursed her lips, if it weren't for the fear that the Mao family would have an excuse to mutter something ugly and accuse them of not being filial, she wouldn't want to give the Mao family a bag.
When they returned to Xiaohe Town, they gave the Mei family tobacco and silk handkerchief, and the Mao family scolded the Jia family and Sister Qiu for being unfilial, and the people in the village could reply, "Sister Qiu went to Huyang and gave you two old bags!" How do you want people to be filial! Thinking about this, Sister Qiu made up her mind, she must think that all the people on earth know, she gave the Mei family a bag, and this filial piety touched the world.
"Three cents!" Sister Qiu looked at Si Pa with great regret and said, "We can only earn it back by selling three bowls of bean curd!" ”
After Sister Qiu said this, Zhang Yuxiu and Dayin laughed together, laughing at Sister Qiu for being a stingy ghost!
When she went back, Sister Qiu and her family went to Zhenbao Zhai again, she looked at the delicate and beautiful pastries in the shop, the fragrance was strong, and she also moved her mind to buy a few large bags of pastries, not only for Zhu Pingshan's one, but also for Zhu Pingshan's, the Jiang family, her own family, her uncle's family, and even Qiu Gui'er's family all have a share. Over the past few days, Qiu Gui'er not only grinds beans, but also helps filter bean dregs or something, all the work that can be done is done, even the work of feeding the chickens has been taken away, Jia's is reluctant to go, and wants to give her a processing salary, Qiu Guier said that she doesn't want anything, only desperately says that people should cherish blessings, there is no old Xiucai Mrs., she is determined to contribute money and efforts until her husband's sister-in-law and brother-in-law are all married before they can go out.
When passing by a pharmacy, Sister Qiu made up her mind again, asking Dayin to wait outside to look at things, she entered the pharmacy with Zhang Yuxiu, weighed a hundred catties of raw cement gypsum out, the two of them carried their pockets together, and rested several times together, and finally tired purple face, and walked to the hexagonal building.
Zhu Pingshan's car was already waiting at the bottom of the Liufang Building, this time it was already past the lunch point, there were not many people downstairs, looking at the servants and the big move, Zhu Pingshan also froze, and hurriedly ran over after relieving his senses, and took the cement plaster bag that Sister Laqiu and Zhang Yuxiu carried together.
"Shen very, we can lift it." Zhang Yuxiu shook her hand and said, it was not that she was polite, but that she felt that a scholar with fine skin and tender flesh like Zhu Pingshan would definitely not be able to carry such a heavy pocket.
"Give it to me, it doesn't weigh much." Zhu Pingshan said with a smile, he took the bag, and as soon as the sack was in his hands, he chuckled in his heart, he didn't expect this bag to look inconspicuous, in fact, it was so heavy, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't carry it on his own, wouldn't he be embarrassed in front of the two ladies, he immediately gritted his teeth, took a breath of gloom, and carried the sack to his back with a wisp of strength, and walked to the direction of the car.
Fortunately, waiting next to the car was the loyal servant of the Zhou family, and when he saw that the young master came over with a sack on his back, he was frightened and quickly jumped down from the car and ran a few steps, and took the sack on Zhu Pingshan's back.
Zhang Yuxiu and Dayin went upstairs to ask Zhang Ruoxu to follow Lin Zhuan, and the rest of Sister Qiu and Zhu Pingshan sat in the car. The streets outside are still noisy, but the car is quiet, and it is difficult for the two of them to be alone. Seeing that Sister Qiu counted the things she bought, her white face, round eyes, black curved eyebrows, and side face seemed to be a little better, Zhu Pingshan was thinking wildly.
When Sister Qiu raised her eyes, she saw Zhu Pingshan looking at her intently.
collided with Sister Qiu's gaze, Zhu Pingshan's face turned red, as if he had done something wrong, but he was afraid that Sister Qiu would find out that she was peeping at her, and in a panic, she opened her mouth and asked, "Is your cousin engaged?" ”
Sister Qiu was amazed, and thought about it carefully, could it be that Zhu Pingshan looked at Zhang Yuxiu? It's not like it, from beginning to end, Zhu Pingshan doesn't seem to show any other eagerness for Zhang Yuxiu.
"Not yet." Sister Qiu replied cautiously, "It's just that it's almost time to estimate, my cousins are all 13 years old." "If you don't get married, it's too late.
Zhu Pingshan knew that she had misunderstood when he saw Sister Qiu's surprised appearance, and hurriedly explained: "It's not me...... It's Zhu Zihui, it's the classmate who went to your place with me to buy vegetables and pancakes, he is tall and strong, do you still have an impression? ”
Sister Qiu chuckled and asked, "Is it the big guy who always wants to talk to my sister?" ”
"Yes, yes, that's him." Zhu Pingshan said with a smile, "He, he has that meaning in his heart, he is 15 years old, he is like studying, but he can't take the exam for any subject name, but his family background is not bad, there are more than 100 acres of land, and there is an oil extraction workshop, a cotton workshop, and he is the only eldest sister who has married out of his family." If, if your sister is willing, he will go home and ask his father and mother to find a matchmaker. ”
