Chapter 93: Slavery

After the silver and goods were sold, Mu Jiu told the pharmacist that he would hire a carriage first, and then pull the medicinal materials, and then leave the pharmacist business.

She is worried about the silk in the county, since she is here, and she has money in her hand, she can't help herself if she doesn't buy it!

Mu Jiu's first choice is a cloth shop.

Lin Changsheng was like a guardian, following in the same direction, his tall figure stood by Mu Jiu's side, making it difficult for people to ignore it.

Along the way, I met some sons and brothers who wanted to talk to Mu Jiu, but they were all scared away by Lin Changsheng's cold face.

Mu Jiu thought to himself: If you put Lin Changsheng's portrait on the door, it is estimated that you can be the door god.

The cloth shop in Luocheng County is several times larger than the cloth shop in Wanbao Town, and the fabric inside is ten times more in terms of quality and variety.

Mu Jiu looked at the three, compared the prices, and finally saw a silk in the fourth.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell that off-white silk?"

At this time, Mu Jiu was wearing the new pink clothes that Li Xiaotao had made for her, although the fabric was not as expensive as silk, it was also superior in this remote small county town.

Mu Jiu's own temperament is indifferent, with Li Xiaotao's exquisite workmanship, coupled with Lin Changsheng, who is like a guardian saint.

No matter how the shopkeeper looked at it, he felt that the daughter of the big family had come, and stretched out two fingers with a smile, "Two taels of silver and a foot." ”

"Give me three feet, and the dark red, lake blue, and dark colors will also come three feet."

After thinking about it, "Xuanse is six feet!" ”

"Okay! The shopkeeper was afraid that Mu Jiu would regret it, so he quickly measured the silk, but, "Girl, this white one is one foot more, can you come down together, I can count you less than one or two silver." ”

An extra foot can make a cloak for Xiao Yueji of Lin Langzhong's family, Mu Jiu readily agreed.

The shopkeeper couldn't stop smiling, and gave Mu Jiu silk threads of the same color, one for each color, and felt that Mu Jiu was at a loss, and also gave Mu Jiu two small back pockets embroidered with silk threads.

After wrapping the things and paying for it, Mu Jiu went to the gold shop again, took out the sketch he had drawn overnight yesterday, and asked the master who made the gold and silver jewelry if he could make such a set of silver needles.

The master shook his head and didn't dare to answer.

Mu Jiu asked him if he knew the master who could take over the job.

The master was also generous and told Mu Jiu the address.

Mu Jiu rushed over non-stop and negotiated with the master for a price of twenty taels to create such a set of silver needles, but he couldn't get the goods until seven days later.

No way, Wanbao Town didn't have a master who could make this set of silver needles, so he had to go to the county seat again seven days later.

Mu Jiu entered the two stores and came out again, and the fifty taels were gone.

"Silver is good to spend and not to be earned!" Mu Jiu muttered.

Lin Changsheng stared at Mu Jiu lightly: there was no hard time in her tone.

Mu Jiu went to the grocery store to buy a large handful of candles to return to Lin Changsheng, and also bought a few lamps and put five catties of lamp oil.

In fact, these things are available in Wanbao Town, but the price is twice that of the county seat.

Since I came, there is no reason to go back and buy expensive.

I went to the Metrology Division to buy three scales, and I felt that today's task had been completed.

Lin Changsheng: "Are you hungry?" ”

Mu Jiu nodded, "A little." ”

"Take you to something delicious."

Last time it was a small specialty shop, this time it is a noodle restaurant.

To be honest, the special shop was not bad last time, probably because Mu Jiu hadn't eaten it.

Today, the noodles in this noodle restaurant are not very good.

In the palace, I haven't eaten anything delicious, and the pasta has not been the same for three hundred and sixty-five days, compared to the pasta in the palace, these are like feeding pigs.

Mu Jiu said that since leaving Mu Rongguang's house, her life has been better, and her requirements for food have gradually risen.

Mu Jiu poked twice and pushed the noodles in front of Lin Changsheng.

"Doesn't it taste good?"

Mu Jiu was very direct, "It's unpalatable." ”

"This is the best noodle restaurant in Luocheng County." Lin Changsheng couldn't hide his loss.

What he thinks is the best, in Mu Jiu's eyes, or just some garbage.

"I'll make it for you when I have a chance......" You'll notice how rubbish these noodles are.

But before the words were finished, Mu Jiu wanted to give himself a slap in the face, what to do, can you make it clear!

Lin Changsheng turned his worries into joy, and smiled silly, "Okay, I'll wait." ”

Mu Jiu, "......"

Keep your head down and don't want to talk to him!

Lin Changsheng didn't dislike it, he happily finished the noodles in three or two bites, settled the account and pulled Mu Jiu out of the noodle restaurant and walked to the door of a restaurant.

Mu Jiu said that he didn't go in anything, the consumption of this restaurant was not low at first glance, even if Lin Changsheng had silver, it shouldn't be spent by her.

"I want to go back, and I won't be able to go back today if it's too late."

Mu Jiu bought a few buns on the side of the road, then went to the car dealer to hire two carriages, and then went to the pharmacist to pull the medicinal herbs away.

When I returned to Mujia Village, the sun had already set in the western mountains, and only the fragments of the glow remained in the sky.

Aunt Jiu's house couldn't hold so many medicinal materials, so Mu Jiu simply pulled the medicinal materials directly to Lin Changsheng's house.

In short, putting a little thing is put, and putting a lot of stuff is also put.

Hey, it's not clear!

Mu Jiu didn't realize that subconsciously, she was willing to be involved with Lin Changsheng!

……

After settling the money for hiring a car to the car dealer, Mu Jiu returned home with a few pieces of silk on his back.

Li Xiaotao was sitting at the door making clothes, making Mu Sanxi's lilac, and Mu Hongli was helping her collect those undried chrysanthemum tea.

The mother and son didn't speak, but the picture was surprisingly warm.

"Mother! I am back! ”

Li Xiaotao was a little surprised, Mu Jiu said that it might take two days to come back, but he didn't expect to come back in one day.

My grandmother was worried, and when Mu Jiu returned home, Li Xiaotao's heart became steady.

"Tired, you go rest first, I'll cook."

Mu Jiu took out a few meat buns from his backpack, "Mother, take it hot and eat it!" ”

"Then I'll make a soup and eat this for dinner tonight."

Li Xiaotao's movements were very fast, and the soup was ready in a short time.

The lady had dinner, and it was not completely dark.

Mu Jiu took out the newly bought silk, "Mother, at the moment, we can only make one piece per person, and after a while, when the weather is cold, we will make another one per person." ”

Li Xiaotao didn't know silk, but she had seen the forest landlord pass through such materials, her eyes widened, and she was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, thinking that things were too expensive, her expression was solemn, "Jiu'er, we have enough to wear these!" ”

Mu Hongli said with a little worry, "Sister, you have done well enough, we don't have to wear such good clothes." ”

Mu Jiu rubbed Mu Hongli's little head, "Fool, if you don't spend the money you earn, what do you do with it, my sister will earn more money for you to spend in the future." ”

"Sister!" Mu Hongli's eyes were red and he hugged Mu Jiu, "In the past, my sister said that she wanted to make money to support us, I believed it, and now my sister said that she wanted to make more money, and I believe it!" Sister is the best sister! When Manulife grows up, she wants to make money for her sister to spend! ”

Mu Jiu smiled and grabbed Mu Hongli's shoulder, "Okay, don't think I'll let you go if you pat me on the back, you say, what did you tell Lin Changsheng about me?" ”

Mu Hongli shook off Mu Jiu's hand with a weak heart and took a few steps back, "No! No, absolutely no nonsense! ”

Mu Jiuxin was strange to him, looking at the little expression of weakness.

"Don't run!"

"If my sister doesn't scratch me, I won't run."

"Okay, come here, I won't scratch you."

Mu Hongli believes that she is strange, this trick has been used several times!

"That...... Sister I remembered, I went to squat for a while, the master said, you have to practice the basic skills solidly. ”

A smoke ran out of the room, and the wolf got out of the kitchen, and a man and a wolf began to chase.

Li Xiaotao shouted in the room, "Don't run so fast, be careful of sweating your sister will let you take a shower again!" ”

Mu Hongli pretended not to hear and ran faster.

The light in the room slowly dimmed, and Mu Jiu lit an oil lamp, bringing a glimmer of light to this small space.

Li Xiaotao's movements were very fast, all the cotton clothes were done, and she began to make silk clothes again.

"Can I use it as a shirt?"

She was worried that she would be jealous if she wore it too flamboyantly.

Mu Jiu thought for a while, "Cheng!" ”

It is true that it must not be too publicistic now, otherwise, those who sympathize with them will hate them.

But the purchase of land and the construction of new houses have made most of the villagers who originally sympathized with their mothers become jealous, and many times when they see them, they speak in a weird way.

"Mother, you make the lake blue first, it's okay for the next two days, let's go see my sister."

said that he was going to see Mu Sanxi, and he kept delaying it.

"Hmm." Li Xiaotao looked very excited, "It's hard for you to still remember your sister, and I don't know what happened to her." ”

……

For two days in a row, Mu Jiu went to pick chrysanthemums and make chrysanthemum tea, but this time he made another sweet taste, and when he went to the county seat to get the silver needle in a few days, he would take it to the county seat to sell it by the way.

On the third day, Mu Jiu and Li Xiaotao changed into new clothes, took Mu Hongli, and hired Lin Laogou's ox cart to go to Wanbao Town.

Wangjia Village is at the other end of Wanbao Town, which happens to be a three-point line with Mujia Village and Wanbao Town.

When passing through Wanbao Town, Mu Jiu bought a lot of food and daily necessities, and almost loaded half an ox cart before going to Wangjia Village.

Last year, Mu Sanxi was directly sold by Mu Rongguang to the landlord Wang as a concubine, when the landlord took the silver and took people away, Li Xiaotao didn't know where the landlord lived at all, and only vaguely remembered that the landlord raised Mu Sanxi as his eldest son's sixth concubine.

Fortunately, the landlord Wang is famous in Wangjia Village, and after a little inquiry, he inquired.

After getting out of the ox cart, Mu Jiu went straight to the porter, "Hello, we are relatives of your eldest young master's sixth aunt, Taimu Sanxi, please help me spread the word, just say ......"

The porter glanced at Mu Jiu without being salty, "We don't have a sixth aunt here." ”

Mu Jiuda was shocked and looked back at Li Xiaotao, "Mother, are you not mistaken?" ”

Li Xiaotao's attitude was affirmative, "I can't be mistaken, I only lifted it last year, how can I remember it wrong." ”

Only then did Mu Jiu face the concierge again, and took a tael of silver and stuffed it into the concierge's hand, "Uncle is accommodating, what is the situation of this Mu Sanxi in the house." ”

The concierge saw the money, anyway, it was just selling news, and it would not affect the Wang family, "It's not a secret, it's not bad to come in at the beginning, the landlord treats her well, but after the death of the landlord this year, the eldest lady put the other aunts and wives into slavery, these days, it's not as good as a maid." ”

What the!

Isn't it for the eldest son of the king and landlord to be an aunt's wife! How did you become a king landlord!
