As soon as Guan Yifei saw the jade mushroom, his eyes were straight, and he carefully picked one up into his hand, for fear that he would be pinched if he had more strength.

I looked at it carefully, and I was extremely satisfied, this is the high-grade jade mushroom, which is of moderate size, fresh and full.

Carefully took them out one by one and weighed them, just such a small bamboo basket, there were actually seven taels of catties.

Mei Xiaotong has a number in her heart, and the remaining batch is similar to this, adding up to more than three catties.

After weighing the quantity, Guan Yifei carefully put the jade mushrooms back into the bamboo basket as they were, and laid pine needles and weeds on the mat.

Then he took out a slip, added two strokes to it, and then handed it to Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong took it and took a look, and the sign stated that in which year, month, and place he received a pound of jade mushrooms sent by Mei Xiaotong, which was in good condition, and it was based on this.

"What is this?" Mei Xiaotong didn't quite understand.

"Girl of the Mei family, this jade mushroom is in good condition, it is really of the highest quality. Now the price of jade mushrooms in the capital has soared, today I don't know the price tomorrow, the owner wrote a letter to say, as long as the girl sells jade mushrooms, write such a note to the girl, as for the price, the owner will come here in person before and after the snow, and settle with the girl. Guan Yifei explained. Mei Xiaotong suddenly, this means that her jade mushroom has to be sent to the capital to see what the price is, and then Boss Zhang will come to settle with her in person?

For jade mushrooms to be so precious and sought-after, Mei Xiaotong really didn't expect it.

But this at least reminded her that jade mushrooms are really rare, and this year is to catch up with Boss Zhang, so many goods have to be shipped.

In addition to the first half of the year, her shipments alone accounted for almost half of the entire jade mushrooms in Shiqiao Town.

It's too showy!

At least next year, next year can't be like this, the jade mushroom can't be cultivated anymore, otherwise I'm afraid it will attract people's attention.

Mei Xiaotong made up her mind in her heart, and she didn't show it on her face, so she put away the sign.

Guan Yifei hugged the bamboo basket like a baby, his eyes didn't dare to make a mistake, he confessed, and went into the backyard.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong walked out of the courtyard, and the two glanced at each other, knowing that the other party had something to say.

"Why don't we talk on the way?" Mei Xiaotong suggested.

An Huahao nodded, bought a large cage of meat buns at the intersection, and poured a tube of hot tea into the bamboo tube that Mei Xiaotong carried, and the two drove home.

An Huahao drove the carriage and pushed the buns to Mei Xiaotong: "It's noon, eat some to cushion your stomach first." ”

Mei Xiaotong didn't shirk, grabbed the bun and took a bite, the skin was thin and the filling was beautiful, the gravy was hot and fragrant, and it was a rare delicacy.

"This bun is really good, I never knew this bun was delicious-" Mei Xiaotong said vaguely as she bit into the bun.

An Huahao also took the bun and removed half of it in one bite: "This is a time-honored brand in the town, Tang's buns." Said ancestors

I once relied on this bun in the capital and made a fortune. Later, I didn't know how to offend the nobles, so the family sold the house and land, and simply went back to the town to do the old business. ”

"It has been passed down for several generations, and a lot of land has been placed in the town, and the children in the family don't like to learn this now, only now only Donald is the only one to make some to sell, and the door will be closed when the sale is finished. His meat is good, the real material, and the price is more expensive than others', a bun costs five big money, plus the shop is not on the street where the market is rushed, except for really liking their buns, and there is spare money at home, but few people come to buy it. ”

That's right, most of the people in the town are just ordinary, and five cents can be enough for a family's food for a day, who is willing to buy a meat bun to eat, and they are not full?

Mei Xiaotong counted the pile of buns, there were more than twenty of them, which cost a hundred wen, and it was estimated that it was enough for two people to eat.

It's true that ordinary people can't afford to eat.

Such delicious buns, Mei Xiaotong ate a few, then stopped, thinking about this meat bun, Mrs. Li must have never eaten it, and the Mei family's previous family background did not allow her to buy this for her family to eat.

She eats two less, and will bring it back to Mrs. Li and them to taste it later.

Anhua Hao saw that Mei Xiaotong didn't eat, why didn't he understand?

grabbed two stuffs and gave them to Mei Xiaotong, in an unquestionable tone: "You eat first." I will leave two for my aunt and uncle to take back to taste first, and then there will be opportunities in the town, and when the time comes, I will take Tianlong and them and go directly to the shop to eat. Why starve yourself? ”

Mei Xiaotong grabbed the bun and looked at An Huahao in a daze, this was the first time he had spoken to himself in such a tone, but the unmistakable concern in his eyes made Mei Xiaotong's heart feel a little warm.

In this time and space, An Huahao is a person who only cares about her and puts her first except for Mrs. Li.

There was a hint of a smile in her eyes involuntarily, Mei Xiaotong nodded very meekly and took a bite of the bun.

After eating and drinking, Mei Xiaotong didn't sit in the carriage, but simply sat outside the carriage and sat side by side with An Huahao.

The sun on the autumn afternoon shone warmly on people, looking at the mountains dyed by layers on both sides of the mountain road, Mei Xiaotong only felt that she had never been relaxed.

An Huahao looked at Mei Xiaotong's relaxed and comfortable appearance, and the whole person was not always tense as usual, and his mood calmed down.

But what should be said still has to be said: "That jade mushroom, after this year's goods are delivered, it will not be planted next year." The jade mushrooms that pass through your hands are in good shape and size, as if they have been carefully selected. The number of jade mushrooms is scarce, and it is not easy to find them in the mountains, and the quality will be flawed. ”

"If there are too many of them, I'm afraid that they will be discovered by those who have a heart. If it is known which method you use to cultivate jade mushrooms, and it alarms the people in the capital, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble. ”

An Huahao said here, pausing: "It's also that my strength is still too small now

, I can't compete with those nobles, so I have to wronged you......"

When Mei Xiaotong heard this, she turned her head to see An Huahao's self-blame on her face, and immediately smiled and patted his arm: "I know you are kind enough to remind me." I also know that this method can't last long, this year is not possible, after the last batch of jade mushrooms are sold to Boss Zhang, I will never use this method again. The ones in the cave will also be destroyed, and no trace will be found. ”

Seeing that Mei Xiaotong could understand a piece of his mind, An Huahao curled his lips, took out a box from his arms, and stuffed it into Mei Xiaotong's hand.

Mei Xiaotong looked at the box in her hand in surprise, and then looked at An Huahao, although her face was normal, but the tips of her ears were a little red and betrayed him.

"What is this?" As he asked, he opened the box in his hand, and a golden light came into view.

An Huahao didn't seem to be squinting in the car, but he kept looking at Mei Xiaotong out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw Mei Xiaotong happily take out the cordyceps hairpin and gesture on his head, he couldn't help but smile under his eyes.

Mei Xiaotong didn't expect An Huahao to give her a set of jewelry, which was shiny gold, she didn't know that this was silver gilt, and thought it was pure gold.

I used to think that pure gold jewelry was cheesy, but last time the gold jewelry rewarded by the lady in the palace was magnificent, which made her breathtaking.

This time, the jewelry is delicate and exquisite, and people can't put it down.

Especially those two hairpins, dragonflies and butterflies are lifelike, delicate and cute, but they always feel a little familiar when they look at them?

Mei Xiaotong had a flash of inspiration, remembering that when she bought the bracelet in Zhou Ji, the hairpin of the bee on the head of the little girl who entertained her seemed to be a series with this? I took two more looks.

I didn't pay attention to the scene at the time, but in retrospect at this moment, it wasn't because I glanced at the hairpin twice that An Huahao pulled the little brother to the next room.

Where else does Mei Xiaotong not understand.

Unexpectedly, An Huahao was not enlightened before, but now it is really surprising after opening.

Being able to take the initiative to buy jewelry for his unmarried wife is commendable.

What's more, this jewelry really bought Mei Xiaotong's heart. Mei Xiaotong heard one of her cousins say before that a man is willing to take the initiative to buy you a gift, and if you happily accept a piece of people's hearts, men will also feel that their hearts have been affirmed, and everyone is happy.

If you push back, you have to talk about people wasting money, it's better to buy something affordable or something with this money, a man's enthusiasm is dispelled, who will buy you a gift in the future?

This cousin has high emotional intelligence, although she is only delicate, but there are countless elite men around her who pursue her, and finally picked an elite among the elites to marry, the little two are like glue, and the cousin-in-law simply holds the cousin in the palm of his hand.

It is a model and example for the sisters around me to learn.

And Mei Xiaotong's other cousin's best friend, on the contrary, is the kind of person who is taught by the family

Come out, be gentle, kind, considerate and sensible good girl.

When you fall in love, you think about the man in everything, go out to eat, you are afraid that the man will pay more, you don't go to a high-end restaurant, go to an ordinary small restaurant, and in the end you propose that eating outside is not clean, so it is better to buy vegetables and cook at home.

The man bought a more expensive and delicate gift, liked it in his heart, refused it, and told the man not to waste money, what to do when he bought this kind of impractical? Is it bad to save money to buy a house and a car?

Invite her to watch a movie, and say that it is better to buy some snacks and watch them online at home.

The man was moved at first, thinking that the woman was thinking about herself, but later got used to it, when the girl's thoughtfulness is right, there is no idea of buying gifts for girls and inviting girls to dinner, anyway, girls will always refuse.

After marriage, girls watch other people's husbands celebrate holidays, birthdays or something, buy flowers and gifts for their wives, go out romantic, and envy.

But my husband never had this thought, and finally mustered up the courage to bring it up, but my husband was very surprised: Didn't you say that buying flowers and gifts is a waste of not being practical? Isn't it more cost-effective to save money to buy a house and a car?

That girlfriend hugged her cousin and cried tears, snot, regretting that she shouldn't have looked like she was at the beginning, which left a deep impression on Mei Xiaotong.

With a roll of her eyes, Mei Xiaotong happily put the bracelet on her hand, and on the gilded bracelet, the fine gems shone brightly under the sun's rays, reflecting Mei Xiaotong's slender wrist and complexion like honey.

An Huahao only glanced at it, and his heart beat faster, and he didn't dare to look at it again.

Mei Xiaotong also stretched her wrist in front of him: "It's good-looking, right?" ”

An Huahao only felt that his heart was beating like thunder, his mouth was dry, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his throat suddenly became dry and hoarse: "It's good-"

Mei Xiaotong took the hairpin and handed it to An Huahao: "I can't see it myself, you plug it in for me." ”

An Huahao, who has always held a bow and arrow and a knife as steady as Mount Tai's hand, trembled invisibly at this moment, pursed his lips, and gently inserted the butterfly's hairpin into his hair.

As Mei Xiaotong moved, the butterfly trembled slightly, fluttering its wings, as if it was about to fly away.

Generally, the girls of the Zhuang family do not wear gold jewelry, one is too expensive to afford it, and the other is that the gold jewelry requires fair skin, which looks good when worn, and the black and yellow skin wears gold jewelry, which only shows old fashion.

Mei Xiaotong's skin is now fair and translucent, her complexion is good, her pink cheeks are flushed with a faint flush, her hair is black, and the gilded butterfly hairpin and shrimp whisker gemstone bracelet are worn on her, showing her a bit of grace, not at all like a girl from a mountain village.

Instead, she looks like a pampered girl in a big family.

An Huahao looked at it with good eyes, but felt that Xiaotong at this moment, the gilded jewelry not only did not suppress her, but set off Xiaotong's people more graceful than flowers.

An Huahao's mind moved, such a Xiaotong seems to be the real Xiaotong, in the past

Xiaotong has always kept a low profile, suppressing herself, and making herself conform to the image of a girl from a farmer's family.

She didn't realize it herself, in fact, she was like this, wearing beautiful jewelry, wearing beautiful clothes, smiling a little cunningly, a little childish and innocent, she was like the real her.

A girl like Xiaotong should be dressed in silk and satin, worry-free and carefree, with a little bit of innocence, a little carelessness, and being pampered......

Thinking of this, An Huahao's heart suddenly rose with a fighting spirit, if he can't let Xiaotong live such a life, what kind of man is he?

"Xiaotong, do you like these jewelry?" An Huahao asked softly.

"Of course I do! Thank you! Mei Xiaotong found a little bit of the feeling she had when she was Xiaotong at this moment, and answered very smoothly, and she also leaned over to An Huahao's cheek and kissed it.

In the past, when Xiaotong received gifts from her father and family, she was so grateful.

An Huahao's brain exploded, and the soft touch, the light touch, made the blood in his whole body almost boil.

Mei Xiaotong came back to her senses after kissing, it's bad! This is An Huahao, not his own father!

What to do?

Both of them were stupid.

It took a long time for An Huahao to regain his senses and said in a low voice: "Xiaotong, you actually ......"

Mei Xiaotong was annoyed and angry, she took the initiative to kiss him, what do you want to do? Anyway, this is the first kiss in two lifetimes, okay? White cheap Anhua Hao!

"Why should I kiss you? We're both married, you're all my people, and you won't lose a piece of meat if you kiss it? You ......"

The rest of the words were swallowed into An Huahao's mouth......

Mei Xiaotong looked at An Huahao in a daze, the burning temperature on her lips, the touch, all showed that she was actually kissed by An Huahao!

An Huahao's heart was about to fly to the sky, so he and Xiaotong were attached to each other, and his breath was entangled, making him like falling into the clouds, dizzy, and so happy that he wanted to jump.

The two of them were lip to lip for a while, but the mountain road was still uneven, and the carriage bumped and shook the two of them away before they came back to their senses.

One glance at each other, both of them were red-faced.

An Huahao's eyes lit up terrifyingly, as if he wanted to swallow Mei Xiaotong in one gulp.

Mei Xiaotong couldn't resist a little, turned around, and secretly spat on herself: Phew! Unpromising! I've also read all the small h articles on the Internet, and I've seen it, although there is no practical operation, but the theory is experienced! was actually teased by such a pure kiss like white paper, it was so unproductive!

No, you can't coax it! Thinking so, Mei Xiaotong turned around without admitting defeat, and was hugged into her arms by An Huahao, and kisses as light as cicada wings fell on her hair, An Huahao only kissed her low and shouted: "Xiaotong ......"

shouted that Mei Xiaotong's heart that had finally calmed down was beating happily again

, the whole body of strength was shouted by him, and leaned softly on An Huahao, thinking that he wanted to push away An Huahao, a stinky rascal.

But that hand honestly grabbed An Huahao's arm, and he couldn't use any strength.

In the end, Mei Xiaotong had to break the jar, close her eyes, and mutter: Bad man, very bad! And then went with him.

All the way greasy and crooked, Qingqing and I almost arrived at the entrance of the village, Mei Xiaotong pushed An Huahao away, lifted the curtain, and sat in the carriage, she had to tidy up her hair and clothes, otherwise she would be seen and think something happened to the two of them.

Although An Huahao was reluctant in his heart, he had just tasted the sweetness, and he couldn't wait to carry Xiaotong in his pocket at all times and never part for a moment.

But I also know that people's words are terrifying, and now although the two are married, talking, and occasionally holding hands or something, if they want to be more intimate, they will be talked about.

Xiaotong is the person on the tip of her heart, how can she allow her reputation to be bad because of herself?

Therefore, he only hoarsely said: "Don't worry, I'll slow down and catch the carriage......"

"Shut up!" Mei Xiaotong was furious.

An Huahao knew that Xiaotong was shy, and smiled, and the tenderness in his eyes was not hidden.

The two entered the courtyard gate of Mei's house and tried to behave normally.

There are still five steamed buns left, Mei Xiaotong took it to the stove house, at this moment Zhou and Wen were busy cooking in the stove house, seeing the steamed buns in Mei Xiaotong's hand, Wen hurriedly stepped forward to take it: "Little sister, is it hot tonight, or will you keep it for tomorrow morning?" ”

"Let's eat it hot tonight, it's heavy...... Brother Song bought it from the town for his father and mother to taste. Mei Xiaotong almost said the word Hua Hao casually.

It's all because An Huahao, who coaxed himself to read Hua Hao seven or eight hundred times all the way, which is all smooth.

Wen agreed, and put the buns into the pot and steamed them.

Mei Xiaotong turned around to leave, but Zhou spoke: "Little sister, this hairpin on your head and the bracelet on your hand, I'm afraid it's gold, right?" ”

Wen didn't pay attention at first, but when he heard what Zhou said at this moment, he also looked up, and his eyes suddenly froze.
