Chapter 022: Past and Present Life
"No, it's the first time I've seen the little one, but that young grandmother should be a down-and-out nobleman," Xiao Er saw that Qian Zhixin was interested in this matter, and he hurriedly and enthusiastically told Qian Er Shao the results of his observation and speculation, "The young grandmother inside is a girl in front of her, and she doesn't look like a maid from everyone, but like a rough girl on Zhuangzi." The clothes are also old, but the material is very good, it is the most valuable fine cotton material twenty years ago! ”
"Fine cotton?"
Sizzle~~ That's even more unusual, their Qian family is a merchant, and they have been in business since their grandfather, and they have a special understanding of the rare goods on the market. Other fabrics are easy to say, no matter how expensive they are, there is silver that can be bought, but this cotton cloth can be said to be a symbol of status, and it is not possible to buy drops with money.
And listening to Xiao Er's words, it seems that the distinguished guests inside are very depressed, otherwise he would not speculate about what kind of declining big family it is. However, how can this cherry tomato be explained, when did they come to Qingshui Town with such a family?!
"That's right, the little one didn't recognize it at first, when I went in to deliver cherry tomatoes just now, I was close to the young grandmother, and I took a closer look, but I didn't expect it to be a fine cotton cloth dyed and woven, but the material is a little old, and I really can't see it if I don't look closely!"
"Oh, okay, I see, you go down and get busy!"
The young man's sentence of "cherry tomatoes" reminded Qian Zhixin, and he temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, waved his hand, and let the young man leave. Whether it was a distinguished guest or not, his primary purpose was cherry tomatoes, and when this matter was resolved, he would send someone to investigate it carefully.
It's just that, if it's really a distinguished guest, can people cut their love?!
Qian Zhixin stood by the screen in front of the private room, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but hesitantly put down his hand.
"It should be okay, didn't Xiao Er say it, the other party's situation doesn't seem to be very good. Perhaps, as long as I have more money, I may be able to buy it! ”
Thinking of this, Qian Zhixin even remembered the tragic situation of his own wife vomiting but unable to eat when she had morning sickness. Alas, that's it, it's easy for the lady to have something she wants to eat, how can he, the husband, not even be able to do this request. So, after thinking about it for a long time, he still reached out and buckled the half-hollowed screen-
"In Xia Qingzhou, Qian Zhixin, disturb the young grandmother!"
"Oh, is there something wrong with Mr. Qian?"
Wang Qifang sat by the window elegantly, holding a cherry tomato in her hand, as if she was about to eat, when she saw a stranger coming in, she quickly sat up straight and asked seriously.
In fact, she was already in a hurry, obviously people had already been attracted to her, why didn't she come in.
Now that the target had finally come in, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked pretending to be flat.
"That's right," Qian Zhixin first gave a respectful salute, and then said in a sincere tone, "My lady is pregnant, and she wants to eat some sweet and sour fresh vegetables and fruits, but there is nothing very delicious in this county. Forgive Qian for being abrupt, can the fruit in the hands of the young grandmother be transferred to Qian and the two? ”
"Transfer?" Wang Qifang put the tomatoes back on the porcelain plate, took out the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth, and said with a light smile: "What is the transfer method of Mr. Qian?" Kindness? ”
"Young grandma, Qian is a businessman, if there is any offense in his words, I hope you Haihan," Qian Zhixin's eyes lit up when he heard this, hey, there is a door. I'm not afraid of high prices, I'm afraid that people won't sell it, since I'm willing to ask "how to transfer", that is, let him quote. Thinking of this, he clasped his hands into fists and arched his hands: "I don't know how about five taels of silver?" ”
Five-tael-one? Two is ten taels? After a few days of understanding, Wang Qifang also has an understanding of the current monetary value. I heard Mama Zhao say that when she was in Zhao's mansion, her monthly share of silver was only twelve taels, and ten taels of silver was already worth the value of an ordinary little girl. And Sister-in-law Feng also mentioned that in today's ordinary farmland, one acre of land is only five or six taels of silver, and ten taels of silver can buy two acres of land in good condition in the countryside.
Yes, yes, the price is fair. Wang Qifang's face sank like water, but she had a small abacus in her heart.
"Young grandma, but too little?"
Qian Zhixin saw that Wang Qifang didn't say a word, and his face was a little gloomy, so he asked softly.
"It's not a matter of price," Wang Qifang heard this, and was secretly happy in her heart, hey, it seems that this price is not the highest price, and there is still room for appreciation. Thinking of this, she said with a hint of hesitation, "If it is an ordinary cherry tomatoes, five taels a piece is already a sky-high price, but the little woman is pregnant and has a bad appetite...... I heard just now that Mr. Qian also asked for his wife and children, and it stands to reason that the little woman should have transferred it, but I don't have much inventory in my hands for this cherry tomato, if I give it to you-"
What the? Gifted by a monk? Qian Zhixin is not a fool who has not seen it, he has been in business for many years, and he knows some sales methods. After listening to Wang Qifang's words, he looked at the fruit on the white porcelain plate suspiciously, trying to see what was flawed.
At a closer look, he found that the fruit was really bigger than the cherry tomatoes he usually ate. Sucked his nose harder, Eun, could it be his delusion, why did he seem to smell the fragrance of the fruit from so far away?!
"Since it is the cherished thing of the young grandmother, Qian should not have forced it, but Qian's lady has a very bad appetite and just wants to eat some sour fruits," Qian Zhixin seemed to be bound to get the cherry tomatoes, he secretly gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "That's it, ten taels and one piece, and I hope that the young grandmother will cut her love!" ”
Ten taels? Wang Qifang listened to this number, her eyebrows jumped, she peeked at Qian Zhixin's face, and nodded secretly, well, it should already be the highest price.
"Alas, Mr. Qian's wife is really blessed," sighed faintly, and Wang Qifang said with a little envy, "Okay, since that's the case, then the little woman will transfer two to you!" ”
"Thank you, young grandma!"
Qian Zhixin took out two heavy silver ingots from his arms, took a few steps forward and put them in front of Wang Qifang.
Wang Qifang was not ambiguous, she gave the little girl a look, motioned for her to hand over the cherry tomatoes, and accepted the silver by the way.
It's a pity that the person who was waiting next to him was already dazzled by the two ingots of white silver, and he didn't notice the young grandmother's eyes at all.
"Alas, it seems that it is very important to have a caring maid," Wang Qifang shook her head helplessly, and reached out to push the plate in front of her, "Young Master Qian, these two cherry tomatoes have been cleaned, please!" ”
"Thank you, young grandma, for cutting love!"
Qian Zhixin didn't seem to see the interaction between their master and servant, hugged his fists and thanked him, picked up the porcelain plate and left the private room.
At night, Wang Qifang pinched her nose and drank the decoction made by Mama Zhao herself, changed into loose pajamas and went to bed.
Lying on the soft and clean bed, she stared at her two eyes, she couldn't sleep, thinking that there was already a little life in her womb, Wang Qifang couldn't help but put her hands on the flat lower abdomen-
"Baby, I'm sorry, I really don't want to do this, but ......"
Wang Qifang thought about it for a long time and decided to give up the fetus in her womb. It's not that she is ruthless, it's just that giving birth to a child means that her future will be constantly involved with the Zhao family, and the chaos in the backyard of the Zhao family, Wang Qifang doesn't want to provoke it at all.
During the day, Mama Zhao stared at her all the time, she didn't have a chance, and at night, maybe she should do it.
At this moment, the candlelight in the room suddenly flickered out sharply, and the temperature around him plummeted.
"You, why are you here?"
Wang Qifang felt that someone was watching her, and quickly raised her head, only to find that it was the predecessor who had already given up her life - the real Wang Qifang's soul!
"Me? I am you, you are me, Qifang, why do you say I came? ”
In the darkness, the white figure flashed with a glimmer of light, and walked towards Wang Qifang step by step.
"You are me, I am you? No, aren't you dead? ”
Wang Qifang felt bad and just wanted to hide in the space. didn't think about it, a white light flashed in front of her, and the soul of the predecessor Wang Qifang suddenly threw herself into Wang Qifang's body, and then disappeared into her body.
At this time, Wang Qifang's brain seemed to be filled with a large number of pictures, and many scenes about the past life and present life were presented in her mind one by one......
