Chapter 55: Sand City
Su Jiu'er came to Su's house with Xiaobai in her arms, and Zhao was carrying a hoe to go to the ground.
"Early in the morning, what are you going to do?" Zhao looked at Gu Feng with so many things on his back, and saw that Su Jiu'er was dressed very well.
"Mother." Su Jiu'er smiled and came to Zhao's face, habitually touched Xiaobai's hair, and said in a negotiated tone, "Can I let Xiaobai let you go for a few days?" ”
Few days?
Zhao's brows tightened, and his gaze swept over Su Jiu'er's face, "What?" ”
"Xianggong and I want to go to Fucheng to have a look." Su Jiu'er glanced back at Gu Feng with a smile, and then looked at Gu Feng, "I think I just sold the screen I repaired." ”
The Zhao family was originally worried, for fear that Gu Feng would abduct Su Jiu'er, but after listening to Su Jiu'er's explanation, he finally put his mind at ease, "Nacheng, you just leave Xiaobai in the firewood room, and I will feed it meat every day when I go back, and the rabbit meat you gave has not been eaten yet." ”
Su Jiu'er has a lot of cured meat at home, and she used to send some to Zhao's house when she was fine.
"My husband and I took two more jars." Su Jiu'er handed the key on her waist to Zhao, "Mother, this is the key to my family, you remember to help me feed the chickens and ducks at home every day." ”
"That's it, I'll go once a day." Zhao took the key from Su Jiu'er happily.
Su Jiu'er had already explained what should be explained, and after saying goodbye to Xiaobai, he locked Xiaobai in the firewood room.
Zhao sent Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er to the door, and told him uneasily, "You two don't have conflicts with others outside, talk less, don't join in the fun, don't trust ......people too much."
"Mother, I know!" Su Jiu'er smiled and nodded solemnly.
"Gu Feng," Zhao looked at Su Jiu'er's happy appearance, knowing that Su Jiu'er didn't listen to what she said, and turned his head to look at Gu Feng, "Jiu'er has never been far away, you should take more care of her on the road this time." ”
"I know, mother-in-law." Gu Feng's attitude towards the Zhao family was a little subtle, he knew that the Zhao family didn't like him, and he never thought of currying favor with the Zhao family.
But Zhao's affectionate attitude towards him made Gu Feng feel strange.
The Zhao family is Su Jiu'er's mother, Gu Feng naturally won't get along with the Zhao family, he doesn't want Su Jiu'er to be sad in the middle.
Zhao Shi was uneasy and reprimanded, and then said, "Okay, it's okay, you two go quickly, get to Fucheng early, and you can sell things early." ”
This time, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er wanted to go to Shacheng.
Shatai County belongs to Shacheng, and it takes three days to walk from Zhaojia Village to Shatai County, even if it is a fast journey.
Gu Feng would not feel tired even if he walked in the mountains for three days and three nights without sleep, but what he was most worried about now was Su Jiu'er.
Su Jiu'er didn't do any heavy work on weekdays.
"Shall we buy a donkey cart?" Gu Feng slowed down his steps, turned his head to look at Su Jiu'er on the side, and asked.
"That's a lot of silver, we don't have that much silver." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng worriedly, the family only had more than five taels of silver, how could he afford a donkey cart?
Gu Feng's dark eyes condensed slightly, and he discussed, "You can ride a donkey on the road, and you won't get tired." ”
Su Jiu'er looked back and smiled, leaned in front of Gu Feng, raised her hand to hold Gu Feng's arm, and raised a bright smile, "Xianggong, let's go slowly, I came out with you just to see the outside world, if you ride on a donkey, you may not be able to see it carefully." ”
Without waiting for Gu Feng to speak, Su Jiu'er continued, "Let's not go to a distant place, when we have money in the future, we will go to a distant place, and then we will buy a donkey cart." ”
A donkey cart costs almost more than ten taels of silver, and Su Jiu'er doesn't want to make money yet, so the silver is gone.
Gu Feng looked down at Su Jiu'er's pair of pink cloth shoes, and frowned hesitantly.
"I'm already very happy to be with Xianggong, if I'm tired, Xianggong will carry me, okay?" Su Jiu'er asked Gu Feng to carry her, purely to dispel Gu Feng's scruples.
The morning light gradually faded, the sun peeled off the clouds, and the warm sunlight fell on the ground, stretching the shadows of Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er for a long time.
"Yes."
Waiting for Gu Feng's answer, Su Jiu'er was still holding Gu Feng's arm, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be contained.
There are some diligent people farming in the ridges not far away, and the crops in the fields are green, Su Jiu'er thought happily in her heart, this year is a bumper harvest year.
The two of them ate some dry food at noon and stayed in the town in the evening.
Thirty Wen can live in a medium room, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er feel that the medium room is better than their home.
It's just that no matter how good the outside room is, it's not as comfortable as the bed at home.
If she hadn't been walking all day, Su Jiu'er might not have been able to sleep at night.
After walking for three and a half days, Su Jiu'er and Gu Feng finally arrived in Shacheng.
The two of them stood at the gate of Shacheng, looking at the crowds of people in Fang City, Su Jiu'er was slightly stunned.
In her last life, she lived in the capital, but she never went out of the house to buy anything, let alone knew the bustle of the market.
The market is varied, and it is even more lively than the town on market days.
The voices were boiling, Su Jiu'er only felt that there were voices of people talking in her ears, turned her head and looked at Gu Feng on the side with a smile, raised her hand and grabbed Gu Feng's hand, her voice couldn't help but raise, "Xianggong, let's go to Buzhuang to have a look." ”
Gu Feng nodded, and brought Su Jiu'er to the door of Lijiabu Village in a familiar manner.
There were fewer people here, Gu Feng turned his head to look at Su Jiu'er, and said in a low voice, "In the past, when I came to Fang Market to sell leather goods, they all said that the owner of Lijiabu Village was real. ”
Su Jiu'er originally wanted to take the screen and ask a few more, but now that she heard Gu Feng say this, she thought in her heart that as long as the price given was not too low, she would sell the screen directly.
With a smile on his face, he followed Gu Feng towards Lijia Cloth Village, Su Jiu'er's eyes looked around, and the fabric hanging on the wall looked expensive.
"What do you want, you two?" The shopkeeper watched Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er enter the door, greeted him warmly, and asked respectfully.
"We want to sell embroidery." Su Jiu'er glanced at Gu Feng with a smile, then looked at the shopkeeper and said softly, "Can you bother the little second brother to help us hire the shopkeeper?" ”
Hearing Su Jiu'er say this, a bright smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, "This little lady, this, my shopkeeper is a little busy, why don't I help you take a look first?" ”
The shop guy is still so respectful, not a little unwilling.
Gu Feng took out the embroidery in his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper, "This." ”
The shopkeeper opened the embroidery with a smile, looked at the mandarin duck on it, and looked as usual, "Less than two, this embroidery is good, but this material is not good, I'm afraid it won't sell at a high price." ”
Su Jiu'er smiled, "Look at the reverse side again." ”
When the shopkeeper opened the reverse side, he looked at the delicate flowers blooming on it, and his eyes lit up, "Come in and sit down, and I'll help you go and call our shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper invited Su Jiu'er and Gu Feng to sit down in a small cubicle in the inner room, poured a glass of water diligently, and then quickly ran outside.
Gu Feng looked at the embroidery in his hand and said with some pity, "I knew it earlier, and I bought the materials at that time." ”
"Xianggong, as long as someone wants this double-sided embroidery, they will give a high price." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a smile, picked up the tea cup on the table, and put it to his mouth.
As if thinking of something, Su Jiu'er put the teacup in his hand back on the table.
"Yes." Gu Feng knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he only hoped that the shopkeeper of the Li family could give them a little more money.
Just as the two of them were in their hearts, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er hurriedly stood up, and saw the shopkeeper leading the shopkeeper Li into from the outside.
"You two, please take a seat." Shopkeeper Li is also a polite person, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly said.
His eyes glanced at the two of them, and Shopkeeper Li knew it in his heart.
The three of them sat at the round table, and the shopkeeper had already told the shopkeeper Li about the matter, and the shopkeeper Li didn't sell it this time, and got straight to the point, "I heard that the two of you have double-sided embroidery, I don't know what this double-sided embroidery looks like?" ”
Gu Feng handed the double-sided embroidery to the shopkeeper Li, glanced at Su Jiu'er, and said, "As soon as we came to Fucheng, we came to you, thinking that you could give a real price." ”
The smile on the shopkeeper Li's face was even brighter, his eyes kept falling on the embroidery in his hand, and he nodded vigorously, "I will definitely give you a real price, don't worry!" ”
Shopkeeper Li looked at the embroidery in his hand with bright eyes, touched it lovingly, and after a while, he said, "How much do you plan to ask for this?" ”
Hearing what Shopkeeper Li said, Su Jiu'er mentioned it in her heart, raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Feng, put her hand on Gu Feng's lap, and then said, "Shopkeeper, you say a real price, let's see if it's suitable." ”
There are many good people in the female red, but they can embroider double-sided embroidery ground, and I heard that only the embroiderers in the capital can embroider such a beautiful double-sided embroidery.
It is precisely because this is double-sided embroidery that the shopkeeper Li is not sure.
Looking at the appearance of the little lady, she doesn't look like a countryman, could it be someone from the capital?
Shopkeeper Li was even more puzzled, if it was an embroidery girl in the capital, how could the people in the capital let this embroidery girl leave the capital?
"Five hundred taels." Shopkeeper Li thought about it for a long time, in fact, this was only worth two or three hundred taels of silver, but he had his own considerations.
Gu Feng was shocked, he didn't show it on his face, he never thought that Su Jiu'er's casually embroidered things were worth so much money.
Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, secretly happy in her heart, but did not show it on her face.
"It's not good." Shopkeeper Li frowned lightly and shook his head slightly, "The price can't be too high for you." ”
Su Jiu'er smiled slightly and didn't speak.
Shopkeeper Li stretched out his hand to hold this embroidery, although this material is not good, but in another place, it can still be sold at a good price, "Five hundred and fifty taels of silver, I can't be higher, but I also have conditions for this price!" ”
