Chapter 113: Zhu Xianzhen
Zhuxian Town is a large town, originally named Juxian Town, and later renamed Zhuxian Town because of the food and fief of Zhu Hai, a famous man of the Warring States Period. At first, it was just a post station, but Emperor Taizu of Songguo ordered the digging of a new boundary river in Weishi County, making Zhuxian Town a water and land transportation fortress near Bianjing City because of its close proximity to the Cai River, and the post station became a town. Nowadays, there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going from the south to the north, and all kinds of shops and restaurants in the town are lined up one after another, and it has become an important town around Bianjing City.
To enter Zhuxian Town, you have to go through a checkpoint, and the guards at the checkpoint are not regular officials, but people hired by the town's Baozheng, who can be regarded as the guards of Zhuxian Town! Shen Zhilei parked the ox cart, paid a penny per person to the guards, and led the ox cart into the town.
"Uncle, where are we going first?" Shen Mengxi asked Shen Zhilei.
"Let's go to your third uncle's grocery store first, leave the ox cart there, and then ask him to prepare some of the things we are going to buy, and take them with us when we leave." Then let's take the creek to the cloth village to pull the cloth, okay? Shen Zhilei thinks that little girls are all pretty, and Shen Mengxi is no exception, not to mention that she really doesn't have a decent dress now, so naturally she should go to the cloth first.
Shen Mengxi thought about it and said, "Hmm! Then listen to my uncle, but when the time comes, we will have to pull a piece of cloth for everyone in our family! ”
Wu said with a smile: "You little lady, I am the only one in the family to do needlework now, don't tire me out of making a new dress for everyone!" ”
Shen Mengxi smiled and coquettishly said in Wu's arms: "Auntie, buy it, buy it, otherwise Xiaoxi will be the only one to wear new clothes, how embarrassing!" It's a big deal, can't I help my aunt do it! ”
"You? Forget it, you haven't even taken the needle once, and I have to teach you again, wouldn't that be more tiring? ”
"No, it won't. No! I'm very smart, my aunt only needs to teach me once, I'm sure I can learn it! ”
Shen Zhilei shook his head with a smile, and said to Wu: "Forget it, just follow the meaning of Xiaoxi, anyway, it's almost time to make winter clothes, and when the autumn harvest is over, you will have time to teach Xiaoxi needlework!" ”
Wu glared at Shen Zhilei with disgust, smiled and poked Shen Mengxi's forehead with his finger, "You! I'm spoilt for choice! ”
"Mother! You don't spoil your sister less! Shen Menghan smiled and dismantled his mother's platform, causing a violent blow from his mother's mother.
Shen Menghan grinned and rubbed his head in pain, and Shen Mengzhuo, Shen Mengxi, and Shen Mengxu laughed in unison.
Laughing, the group came to the door of a shop. This shop has only one large room, the front is not large, and there is a plaque on the door that hangs Shen Ji groceries. Shen Sanlang, who was busy working in the shop, saw an ox cart parked in front of his house and greeted him out, and when he saw that it was Shen Zhilei, a few of them smiled and stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, why did you come to the town today?" Today is not a gathering day. ”
"I don't need some things at home, I want a lot, so I just want a trip"
"Just tell me what you need, I'll go back in the evening and bring it back!"
"Just in time for the dream of their rest today, I will take a few of them out for a loose day!"
Shen Mengzhu and the four of them had already gotten off the ox cart and saluted Shen Sanlang in unison. Shen Sanlang saluted the Wu family, and the Wu family returned the half salute. After each of them finished the ceremony, Shen Sanlang invited them into the shop to rest for a while.
"No! We're going to go buy something, so we won't bother. Here are some of the things we need, so you'll have them ready when you have time! Shen Zhilei handed Shen Sanlang a piece of paper with the items he needed to buy from Shen Sanlang.
Shen Sanlang took it and took a general look and said, "Okay, I'll prepare it later!" ”
