Chapter 34: Sell Yourself
The shopkeeper in front of him didn't bother her when he heard her sigh inside, and in the afternoon, when he was not so busy, he shouted: "Miss Yi, come out and breathe, let's talk." ”
"Well, let's talk about it." Yi Jiaren came out of it. His hair was messy, and his bright eyes were a lot darker.
She startled the shopkeeper like this: "Miss Yi, why did you make yourself look like this?" ”
Yi Jiaren waved her hand: "Don't care what I look like, what do you want to talk about?" Let's talk. ”
Shopkeeper Wang said, "What do you want to talk about?" I was afraid that you would be bored, so I called you out. ”
"I don't want to talk about anything."
"Hmm... Then you go in, I'm busy. Seeing that she was listless, the shopkeeper Wang seemed to be in no mood to chat, so he couldn't help but force her.
Yi Jiaren stretched out a hand in front of him: "Give money, three taels." ”
The shopkeeper Wang was surprised: "What three taels?" ”
"From the time you called me out to the present, counting the sentence just now, I have chatted with you for a total of four sentences, one sentence for one tael of silver, and the last sentence is a gift, only three taels of you will be charged, give money." Yi Jiaren said and shook her hands.
"I think you're crazy about silver." The shopkeeper Wang was not angry.
"You came out to talk to me, didn't you see that I talked to people in the morning and collected money?" Saying that, Yi Jiaren swept the guys in the store again: "Are you bored and want to chat with me?" I'll make it cheaper for you. ”
The guys only shook their heads and didn't speak, afraid that she would collect money.
Yi Jiaren pouted her butt and slumped her head on the counter and sighed.
After a while, he shouted again: "I'm in trouble now, won't you give me a charity fundraiser?" ”
Shopkeeper Wang smiled: "Miss Yi, even if we sell ourselves, we can't make up a hundred taels." ”
Yi Jiaren glanced at a few of them, and it was true, "Alas, forget it, I have to support you when I buy you back, and I have to eat a few pots of rice for a meal." ”
Sighing, she said to herself again: "I don't know if I have anyone to buy, I can eat, but I can also work, I am not picky, I can feed." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Guo Xun came in from outside: "Is what you just said serious?" ”
Yi Jiaren hurriedly stood up: "What? ”
"You're going to sell yourself?"
"See what you're paying?" Yi Jiaren has nothing to do now, the price is good, and everything is easy to say. And Guo Xun doesn't seem to have any shortcomings except for being rich, and it's not bad to sell him as a lady, and if you have money in the future, you can take a shelf in front of Lin Fengyin.
It's a beautiful idea.
Guo Xun shook his sleeves and turned his back on his hand, and said, "One thousand taels." ”
"Deal."
Yi Jiasheng was afraid that he would change his hexagram.
The shopkeeper Wang on the side hurriedly congratulated her: "Congratulations to Miss Yi for negotiating a big deal again." ”
The guys were also busy echoing, and for a while the store hall was full of joy.
Yi Jiaren's face was a little shy, pinching a strand of hair in her hand, and she asked, "What are you buying me to do?" ”
"Be a concubine." Guo Xun said two words, he teased himself bitterly before, and he also teased her today.
Being a concubine? Say hello to the big house every morning and evening, look at her face, she is pregnant and miscarried, she is young and looking for a new love, she loses her favor and becomes air, she has no status at home, and finally she is old and decrepit and has no children under her knees, and no one cares about her life?
It's horrible!
"Childe walks slowly and doesn't send it away." Yi Jiaren turned around and went back to her small room.
Guo Xun followed in and said playfully: "Have you repented?" ”
"I'm immoral and incompetent, I'm afraid that I won't be able to be a concubine, so forget it. It's you, why did you get out of school so early today? Yi Jiaren is in a bad mood now, and she doesn't have a good tone, sitting on a chair and asking Guo Xun looks like she is teaching her own little brother who is skipping school.
"Mr. left early for something, so he left school." Guo Xun said and sat down on the collapse.
He didn't go to the academy today.
In the morning, Guo Xun went home to change his clothes and was stopped by the rich shopkeeper. The son didn't return overnight, she took the family whip and forced him to ask, only to know that he spent the night in Zhongxiufang, or the three of them were in the same room, but fortunately there was no chaos.
She is naturally relieved of her son's character.
She wanted to help with Yi Linfeng's affairs, but the Yi family and the Xiao family had a marriage contract first, although Yi Jiaren went to the Xiao family to withdraw from her relatives, but it was all done by the child's family, and the elders on both sides did not know. With Wu's temper, the first one would not agree. She knows her too well with Wu's old sisters for so many years, don't do anything good to get Yi Linfeng out when the time comes, and Wu also blames her son for robbing her daughter-in-law.
Think about Wu's temper or forget it. However, the rich shopkeeper still wrote an urgent letter to the Yi family couple in Xiangzhou County, informing them of the situation here. After a few days, the Xiao family hasn't gone to save people, they will save again, if Yi Jiaren is grateful to the Guo family for saving her brother and falling in love with her son, then there will be nothing to do with the Xiao family.
Yi Jiaren knows a variety of foreign Chinese, if she really becomes her own daughter-in-law, then she and her son will work together to do business in various states of the Tianshun Dynasty, it is best to have more children, then the wealth of the Guo family will be endless.
The rich shopkeeper is shrewd in this calculation!
Guo Xun didn't know what his mother thought, so he secretly slept at home until the afternoon, and after waking up, he unconsciously ran to Zhong Xiufang.
The two of them sat without speaking, each thinking about their own thoughts. Yi Jiaren trembled her legs in a daze, and the rosewood soles on her feet "clicked" on the ground, which sounded a little good.
Suddenly, she slapped the table and said to Guo Xun: "Didn't you say that this shoe is unique?" How much can I exchange it for? ”
"Huh." Guo Xun smiled, he had never heard of this.
"What do you mean by laughing, aren't these shoes worthless?"
"Hmm... This shoe is not worth a thousand taels, let alone worn. ”
Yi Jiaren bent down and took off her shoes and sniffed: "My feet don't smell." ”
"Miss Yi, you... You'd better put your shoes on. Guo Xun's face turned a little red, he had never seen a girl take off her shoes in front of a man.
"Ugh." After putting on her shoes, Yi Jiaren tilted her head and sighed again.
Speaking of shoes, Guo Xun suddenly thought that he still had a few pairs of famous calligraphy and paintings in his private collection, and he had some joy on his face: "I have a few pairs of calligraphy and paintings that are worth a few taels of silver. ”
Yi Jiaren was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately slapped the table and sat up: "Eh, this is good, then you go quickly." Saying that, he stood up and pushed him out, not polite at all, hoping that he could be more of a good thing and get his brother out as soon as possible.
thought he was walking slowly, and kept pushing him out of the door, but by coincidence, Xiao Yuwen came again.
"Brother Guo, such a coincidence, are you really here?" Xiao Yuwen said and went to the small room inside.
Guo Xun replied with an "um" and hurried away. Compared with Xiao Yuwen and doing things for Miss Yi, Miss Yi's affairs are more important.
When I get things done, there will be nothing to do with you, Xiao Yuwen.
The shopkeeper in the store felt that Zhong Xiufang was about to become a teahouse, and he walked one after another.
Yi Jiaren followed up and pushed him away from his seat: "What are you doing again?" ”
"It's quite strong." Xiao Yuwen rolled up his sleeves and moved to the side of the sitting. "Guo Xun didn't go to the academy for a day today, and I came to visit as a classmate."
This makes perfect sense.
