The ox cart is slow, there are Du Li and Aunt Liu's mother and daughter in the car, and there are two young daughters-in-law who have entered the city, the younger one is a pregnant woman in her early twenties, a little older and not a few years older, in Du Jun's memory, these two people are a pair of concubines, married to the Ding family who makes a living as a mason, the family is above average, the family is very enthusiastic, and the style is decent. The young one is Li Xiaoqin, the third daughter-in-law of the Ding family, and the other is her sister-in-law Yang Guilan.

"Sister Guilan, Sister Xiaoqin", Zhao Jia called the two opposite first, and Du Li then said hello.

"Are you entering the city? Look at relatives or sell something? Yang Guilan looked at the three people and a small package, and also took the initiative to ask Aunt Liu.

"Isn't this autumn, Du Jun and I are going to take the embroidery work during this time to the county seat to sell, where are you going? This little piano still has a big belly, you must be careful! ”

"We also went to the county seat to show my three brothers and sisters, they are all three months old, and they still have morning sickness, so I will find a doctor to see and get some medicine."

"Oh, it's really fast, this is the third child, five years to hold three, Xiaoqin is so blessed!" Aunt Liu touched Xiaoqin's daughter-in-law's hand and patted it.

"Auntie, don't say that, I see that the good sister is also older, and when I find a good mother-in-law, the blessing of the aunt is behind!"

These people, you praise me, I praise you, and then talk about the crops in the field, the gossip in the village, Du Li listened to the clouds, the original owner was a low-key, so Du Li didn't dare to say anything, saying too many mistakes, it would be bad to show the stuffing.

The rice in the fields has been harvested, and the roads are bare on both sides, and people will not be seen until the beginning of spring next year.

From the village, there are seven or eight miles of road to the market, this part is a dirt road, well, the width of the one-way road, the road condition is not good, and there are many potholes. There are more than ten miles from the market to the county seat of Anxian County, and most of this part is an official road, which is quite flat, well, the width of the double line.

Why does Du Li pay attention to the road conditions? Why?

Because...... I'm going to ride in a carriage!!

Du Li regretted coming out of the village, this old ox cart is really too slow, just a car board, not even a handrail, always afraid of a pit to go down, not to mention the carport, hot in summer, cold in winter, this is the rhythm of playing dead sister, twenty miles away, walked for two hours. This high-end convertible, sister give up, you can play by yourself

Finally arrived in Anxian County, the two groups of people separated, Du Li and Aunt Liu also separated, and agreed to meet in the largest restaurant in the city "Wangjiang Pavilion" an hour later, Aunt Liu took Zhao Jia to sell embroidery, and Du Li planned to get some silver first.

I found a wonton stall on the side of the road, asked for a bowl of vegetarian filling, only five cents, really cheap, sat in an ox cart in the morning, Du Li was indeed hungry, eating wontons and asking the boss about the pawnshop nearby.

On the quality of the pawnshop, or the locals know best, the boss recommended a time-honored brand "Zhenbaoxuan" to Du Li, Tong Su is not bullied, the location is on the street next door to Wangjiang Building, especially easy to find.

Du Li gave the money, and according to the guidance of the boss, she slowly went all the way to the pawnshop, and asked the prices of various goods next to her from time to time for reference.

There are a lot of things in the space, but when I look at myself, I carry a cloth bag, large items are not good, food is not good, electric products are not good, labeled ones are not good, too high-tech ones are not good, choose to choose, or those furs, anyway, I don't have a chance to wear them, hundreds of them.

Take out two white rabbit short coats and two blue fox long coats from the space and divide them into two packages.

Du Li walked into this quaint pawnshop, a tall black counter with only a corner door for easy entry and exit, two chairs and a small round table outside the counter, a white teapot, and two teacups upside down on the table.

There were two young men and an old man who seemed to be the shopkeeper at the counter, and the three of them were facing the ledger and holding the abacus, as if they were calculating something.

Seeing Du Li come in, a clever young man hurriedly came over to say hello

"What are you looking for? The small shop is a century-old brand, and the price is the most reasonable. ”

"I have a few leather goods here, I don't know if you can accept them?" Du Li asked gently

"Collect, as long as the things are good, we will accept them, little lady, can you take a look at the goods first?"

Du Li put a package on the counter, one short and one long.

The guy opened the package, and at a glance, he knew that this was a good thing, and it was not up to him, a buddy, to decide, and looked down at Du Li's outfit, which was indescribably weird, this kind of leather goods should not be something that a village girl can take out like this, forget it, it's better to hand it over to the shopkeeper.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper to come over and palm your eyes." The young man asked Du Li for advice, and turned to find the shopkeeper.

After a while, the old man who was sitting inside paced to the counter, touched the two furs in the same way, and looked down at Du Li.

"Little lady, these two furs of yours are indeed of the highest quality, redeem the old and clumsy, what rare varieties of these two clothes are made?"

"Oh, these two pieces, one is a rabbit and the other is a fox, but they are not ordinary breeds, they are rabbits and blue foxes from overseas." Du Li introduced, one is from France, the other is from North America, it is indeed an overseas variety, my sister didn't fool you.

"Where did the girl get the treasures?"

"This, forgive me for not wanting to answer", Du Li still looked at the old man gently.

"It's the old man who has overpassed, so may I ask the girl, do you plan to live or die with these two furs?"

"Death", Du Li said directly without thinking about it.

"These two furs are of the highest quality, but few people can wear them in Dazhou in winter, and we still need to ship them to the Yuzhou head office, so this price, the white one is slightly shorter, I will give you two hundred taels, and the blue one I will give you is four hundred taels, the girl is still satisfied?" The shopkeeper touched his short beard and looked at Du Li.

"Then two more pieces are also the price, right?"

"Girl, the same price is the same"

Smack, another package was placed directly on the counter by Du Li from the ground, and two furs of the same kind

The shopkeeper inspected these two pieces again, and the quality was also excellent, and they were also sold for 600 taels. In just ten minutes, Du Li received 1,200 taels.

"Girl, do you want a silver ticket? Or cash? ”

The shopkeeper handed the two packages to the young man in the back and sent them to the warehouse.

"In this way, two hundred taels of silver, and the rest of the silver bills with a hundred denominations," Du Li thought for a moment.

After doing this business, the shopkeeper is also very excited, these four pieces of clothes, get Yuzhou can be doubled directly, this is also a big business, and the little girl in front of her is ordinary, hearing such a large amount of silver, the corners of her mouth are not curled, it can be seen that she has seen the world, such a person needs to be befriended, maybe when he can bring him a bigger business. Thinking of this, the shopkeeper came out of the counter and invited Du Li to sit and drink a cup of tea, waiting for the guy to come over to fetch the silver.

Asked the guy to bring a new pot of tea, opened the teacup, and poured a cup for Du Li and himself.

"I don't know what the girl is called? Which state and county do you belong to? Is it passing by or? It seems that he is unintentional, and he is indeed inquiring on the side.

"This time I was passing by, and I lost my plate, so I exchanged it for some silver."

Du Li is not stupid, and she can't give out her hole cards when they meet for the first time.

"The contemptible surname is Zhang, he is the courtier of this pawnshop, and he has a bit of face in this county, if the girl has anything to do, the old man can also deal with it." It's a good thing.

Du Li also understands how many catties she has, if you want to say that slashing and slashing, it's no problem, but if you want to play with your heart, you may not have played it, so the shopkeeper stretched out an olive branch, and he had to continue, not necessarily when to use it.

"Under the surname Du, this time I really want to trouble the shopkeeper, I want to buy a carriage, but I came to Anxian for the first time, I don't know if I can teach where there is a horse market?"

"Carriage, so I'll let the guy run tomorrow and find a suitable one for Miss Du, I don't know if Miss Du has any specific requirements?"

"Be safe and comfortable, the carriage is bigger, nothing else, the price is not a problem." Subconsciously, Du Li didn't want him to hire a horseman and expose Zhaojia Village.

"Then tomorrow afternoon, where will Miss Du live? Dude send it over."

"I just arrived in Anxian County today, and I haven't found an inn yet, so I'll bring someone over at noon tomorrow."

At this time, the young man had prepared the silver ticket and the cash, and carefully divided the cash into fifty taels, twenty taels, ten taels, five taels, and one tael of loose silver.

Du Li took the silver ticket and a bag of cash, and directly threw one or two to the clever guy, and the young man's eyebrows fluttered, and he thanked him again and again.

Out of the pawnshop, calculated the time, it was almost time to meet with Aunt Liu, changed hands and put the silver ticket and a large piece of silver into the space, leaving only a dozen taels on his body, and walked to the Wangjiang Pavilion on the next street.

When I walked to Wangjiang Pavilion Restaurant, I saw Aunt Liu and Zhao Jia looking around anxiously in front of the door, obviously in a hurry.

"This kid, it's the first time he came to Anxian County, he won't get lost, how long has it been, why hasn't he shown up yet?" Aunt Zhao kept chattering in her mouth.

"Auntie"

Du Li hurried a few steps forward and shouted.

"You dead child, Aunt Ke is in a hurry, Anxian is so big, I'm afraid that you will be lost, and I don't dare to look for you elsewhere, I'm afraid that you won't find us again", as soon as Aunt Liu saw Du Li, she blurted out a series of worried words, which showed that she was really afraid.

"Auntie, I'm fine, we've been out for a long time, I'm hungry, let's go, let's go in and have some food", looked up at the largest restaurant in Anxian County, there are two floors, and now it's the meal, and the diners are walking in one after another.

"This place is not for us to eat, if you are hungry, I still have two buns in my package."

"It's okay, auntie, I have money, I finally came out for a trip, let's eat something good, just thank my aunt for taking care of me these days."

After speaking, I don't care about Aunt Liu, pull Zhao Jia inside, I don't believe it, your daughter is in my hands, can you not come in?

Entering the restaurant, Xiao Er found a clean position, first ordered a pot of tea, and then ordered four signature dishes, one soup, and three servings of rice, which scared Aunt Liu and said vigorously

"Enough, enough, don't waste it if you can't eat."

Xiao Er looked at Du Li, Du Li nodded, and said to Xiao Er: "That's it for now, it's not enough, send the tea." ”

"You kid, you can't spend money like this, my mother and I can only spend one dish at home, you order four, and it's fish, and chicken, you can't eat it at all."

Du Li lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Aunt Liu, "My life was saved by my aunt, why don't you thank you well, isn't my life even worth a meal?" ”

"Bah, don't say anything that can't be saved, let's forget about the past, what relationship I have with your mother, it's been more than ten years, you are also what I watched grow up, in my eyes it is the same as the girl in my family, they are all my daughters, your mother is the most relieved when she leaves, you are the most relieved, tell me thousands of instructions, let me take care of you." Speaking of the original Du Jun's adoptive mother Li, Aunt Zhao's eyes began to redden.

"Then this time it's about honoring my aunt, and after eating, I have to buy clothes, fabrics, shoes, and buy a wooden barrel", Du Li quickly changed the topic.

"Why do you buy so many old things? Oh, is it the Xu family that has set a date? Also, you are also sixteen, and you have to save more for the dowry, the woman has a rich dowry, and the in-laws can also look down on you, when did you say it? Looking at the twenty-eight beauties in front of him, if it weren't for ............ Now that they are all married, Aunt Liu once again feels sorry for her good sister Li.

"Dowry? No, where do you want to go, auntie? ”

"Yo, Junjun is still shy, you have been engaged for two years, this Xu family kid is also a promising, you have to hurry, the province has a lot of long nights, it's okay if you didn't get into the show, this is admitted, and there are more people staring, don't have any more accidents, do you hear? Especially when your father and mother are gone, and there is no one to support you, you have to have your own idea for everything. Aunt Liu said meaningfully to Du Li.

"Thank you, auntie, I understand", Du Li didn't explain more on this issue, thinking of that fiancé, it was not very clear in Du Jun's memory, he had been engaged for two years, and he only remembered that he was a white and pure scholar, gentle and elegant, and the two of them usually one was in the village, and the other was studying in Anxian Academy, so they didn't have the opportunity to meet, let alone know in private, and there was no way to know what the character was.

Another party knows what is going on, since the death of the Du family's father, especially after Xu Lipeng was admitted to Xiucai, the attitude of the Xu family has been vague, and occasionally the Xu family is not very enthusiastic in words, plus the incident of the first two days, this marriage is even more confusing, the original Du Jun simply can't think of these, but Du Li who has crossed over still can't understand it, I haven't eaten pork, I haven't seen a pig run, forget it, it's only been a day, the days are long, and I plan slowly.

After lunch, Aunt Liu planned to go back, Du Li was willing to follow, so she was deceived into booking two upper rooms at the best Tongfu Inn in Anxian County, and dragged the two of them to start a crazy shopping trip.
