Chapter 18: A Thousand Taels

Fan Lou is the largest restaurant in this town, and there is an endless stream of guests on a daily basis, and Xiao Er is shouting in a loud voice, which attracts people to stop unconsciously.

If it were a weekday, Xia Sihan would definitely let Li Jinyan sit down and taste the craftsmanship here with her, but now it can't be. She was worried that she would be recognized, Xia Shangshu was in the third grade, and she climbed up step by step from the sesame petty official of the seventh grade, and she knew all the means and thoughts.

Although he is married, his husband's family is just a hunter, and he has improved slightly from poverty to now, and he is not even a rich peasant. Compared with Shangshufu, not only do they have no chance of winning, but they also have no bargaining chips at all.

Yes, Xia Si decided to keep a low profile.

Standing in front of the gate of Fan Lou, Xiao Er recognized Li Jinyan and hurriedly bent his waist to invite him in.

"You're here, our shopkeeper has been chattering, I want you to give more!"

Xia Sihan didn't want to go in, but she changed her mind and wanted to change all the menus to cash as soon as possible to settle down.

Xiao Er didn't take the two of them to the back kitchen at this time, but took them directly to the box on the second floor. There are a total of thirteen boxes in Fanlou, each box is named after a flower, and the one where they are located is called the Yihe Hall.

"Wait a minute, our shopkeeper will come soon, and you two will rest for a while."

Xia Sihan nodded, didn't say much, just sat inside and looked around. When she saw Li Jinyan, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes. Li Jinyan is an Orion, and he can barely be regarded as both civil and military, but he must have entered the box of Fan Lou for the first time, and he was able to keep his face from changing his face.

Such a reaction surprised Xia Sihan a little. I think she had seen the world in her previous life, so she can maintain a calm heart now, but if she is someone else in the village, she will not be so calm if any of them come.

Xia Sihan is really curious, what else does he not know?

Li Jinyan was not curious, but the notice outside just now made him dare not relax for a moment. At this time, the most important thing is to guard Xia Sihan inch by inch.

After about a cup of tea, the shopkeeper was late, and when he saw Xia Sihan and Li Jinyan, the shopkeeper was full of smiles.

"Lao Erwei has been waiting for a long time, dare to ask how many menus you brought this time?"

Xia Sihan stretched out five fingers and said, "Originally, it was only five copies, but our husband and wife have something to go out recently, so I want to give you the rest of the rest, can you?" ”

"How much is that?"

"Almost a hundred, this time the silver ticket will be done."

Xia Sihan didn't open her mouth, a hundred copies were all the inventory she could remember, and now she exchanged these for cash, and it was good to put them in her pocket.

Hearing that the shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, Xia Sihan was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't it possible?" ”

"Cheng is Cheng, it's just that this is not a small amount, so let me send someone to go to the city to get a silver ticket, and I will give it to you after returning to the owner, and you two will wait here, how about it?"

Xia Sihan didn't want to stay for a long time, but what the shopkeeper said was right, so she had to nod her head and ask the shopkeeper to prepare the four treasures of the study. A hundred copies, just writing is tiring enough. The shopkeeper did not dare to delay, so he immediately hurried to the city, fearing that something would happen to such a good thing.

Li Jinyan was helping her to study ink by her side, and she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of pride in her heart.

"Sisi, your handwriting is so beautiful!"

In his previous life, Xia Sihan's hairpin flower Xiaokai was one of the best in the circle of noble girls. At that time, she was excluded and ridiculed by the queen's mother, Murong Yu could not protect herself, and the husband and wife had to keep their heads in obscurity.

Xia Sihan practiced calligraphy and polished himself every day during the most difficult time, endured it for a long time, and finally had a bright day, and a small handy has also become a model for female relatives in Beijing to imitate.

Now that Li Jinyan said it, Xia Sihan just smiled faintly, if he knew that there was such a paragraph behind this good word, he probably wouldn't praise it, right?

Xia Sihan wrote for half an hour, and his wrist was a little strained, but fortunately, the person sent out by the shopkeeper came back and brought back the silver ticket. Li Jinyan was surprised to see the shopkeeper come in with a black box, and when he opened it, there was a thick stack of silver tickets inside.

"Little lady, three thousand taels are here, just waiting for your recipe."

Xia Sihan nodded, and after ordering, he put it close to his body, and then put the menu on the table into place.

"It's all here, and the materials are all there."

The shopkeeper saw the half-foot-high paper on the table, carefully put it into the box, and then asked, "Dare to ask where the two of you are, how do you know so many recipes?" ”

Xia Sihan listened to him inquire about his details, sneered in his heart, and came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"My family is from Qingzhou, and it has been a year since I married to Xuejia Village, Yinzhou, but my mother's health has been bad recently, so I will go back and have a look, and I will stay for a month."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper twisted his beard thoughtfully, and then left them to eat, Xia Sihan was willing, refused again and again, and pulled Li Jinyan to leave in a hurry. When he went out, Xia Sihan still had palpitations.

"Brother Jin, let's go to the embroidery village to buy some silk thread and go back, take a detour."

Li Jinyan didn't know why she was lying, but seeing that her face was not very good, he relied on her. After the two of them bought the silk thread, they directly avoided Fan Lou and left the town from behind.

Xia Sihan was very vigilant all the way, and looked behind him from time to time to make sure that no one was following him. With three thousand taels of silver tickets in her arms, Xia Sihan wanted to use the money to make some trades, and the embroidery thread was bought, but she didn't dare to go to the town again recently.

When she returned to Lijia Village, it was already dark, and Xia Sihan was far away when she saw someone wandering at the entrance of the village, and her heart was shocked! When I got closer, I found out that it was Hu Ziniang.

Seeing the two, Hu Ziniang hurriedly greeted them.

"Jin Yan, you're back, hurry up and go home and have a look!"

Hu Ziniang was so anxious that she grabbed his sleeve and rushed home, Li Jinyan's heart trembled suddenly, and he was so panicked that he spread his legs and ran home.

"Auntie, what happened?"

Xia Sihan trotted all the way to follow, and Hu Ziniang sighed and said: "It's not that Ruoxia, if you want to marry Jinyan, you still commit suicide at your house, your mother is so scared that she faints!" ”

Xia Sihan almost fainted when she heard this, Li Ruoxia is the daughter of Li Zheng, and her appearance is outstanding, if you talk about your family background, you can be regarded as solid in this Li family village, but why didn't you agree at the beginning, but now she has to catch up with Li Jinyan?

Xia Sihan couldn't figure it out, and Li Jinyan didn't understand either.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Xia Sihan saw a lot of people gathered at the door, she took off the handkerchief on her head and walked in quickly.

"Brother Jin'er's daughter-in-law is here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, Xia Sihan straightened his back, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"What's going on, why are you here today?"

Xia Sihan's voice made the villagers spontaneously get out of the way, and as soon as she stepped into the courtyard door, she felt that something was wrong.
