Chapter 12 Picking Green into the City

Lu Caiqing asked to know that her mother-in-law's source of life is her own embroidery, and she goes to the city at least once a month to send embroidery work, because her embroidery is made of fine thread, short stitches, and very fine workmanship, but the price is higher than that of her peers. That's why she can get along with Lu Ming.

After her test, she also knows her physical condition, and she is a cautious woman, she can't trust others, so she wants to stabilize her daughter-in-law first, and let her deliver the goods, because of these embroideries, more than half of Cai Qing is embroidered, but there is no price yet, so she is afraid that others will take advantage of her, thinking that Cai Qing is kind, and then she is always her own family, and it has not fallen into the hands of outsiders.

Lu Caiqing didn't know her careful thoughts, she just thought that she was not feeling well and passed the test, which was a good start for herself and a sign of trusting herself.

On the other hand, Lu Caiqing is not stupid, and her mother-in-law's health will not get better for a year and a half. Although the things embroidered by themselves are not too good, but their master is one of the best in the embroidery industry, and their works will not be too bad, and they also want to sell their embroidery at a good price.

The mother-in-law instructed her for a long time, telling her not to look at what she shouldn't see, not to say when she shouldn't speak, just listen to Sister-in-law Li, and sell the silver to collect things like that.

Lu Caiqing was very serious, and he was still a little excited in his heart, the only thing he was disgusted by was that the place where these embroideries were sold turned out to be a green building in a small county town.

No wonder she repeatedly told herself not to look at what she shouldn't see, Lu Caiqing said in her heart, forget it, she doesn't look outstanding, no one will pay attention to a girl in the countryside, as long as she sells her embroidery and saves some private money, the old lady is not good to herself, so she leaves, and she has been at home for some time, and she is worthy of Brother Ming.

Thinking like this, the old lady still didn't feel at ease, and called her with words, the small county town with the household registration system, don't come nonsense, don't lose her old face like a villain's child. Lu Caiqing listened to his heart and said that he had never seen anything in the world, but he still nodded yes on his face.

Brother Li borrowed an ox cart from the village chief's house and brought Sister-in-law Li to call Caiqing, so Lu Caiqing took the wrapped embroidery and got on the carriage on the road.

The road to the county seat is much more stable than the car before, at that time it was a pothole in the countryside, and now it is to the county seat, and the road is definitely much smoother than elsewhere.

Lu Caiqing had seen Sister-in-law Li several times and didn't look at her properly, only to see that her skin was slightly dark, and on her thin body, she was always wearing a blue floral cotton skirt, with a faint smile on her simple face.

Sister-in-law Li saw Cai Qing looking at herself without blinking, so she said, "Cai Qing!" What do you keep watching me do? Your mother-in-law said that you don't know how to comb a woman's bun yourself, so let me help you put it on on the road, so as not to be mistaken for a girl in the building and cause trouble. ”

Lu Caiqing listened and nodded, Sister-in-law Li was skillful, and after a while, she put a woman's hair in a bun, and Sister-in-law Li also gave Caiqing her own blue scarf with flowers wrapped on her head.

Sister-in-law Li looked at it carefully again, and said with satisfaction: "Cai Qing!" You see if this is a complete woman, or if your mother-in-law is thoughtful. It turned out that I saw that you were thin and small, but now you look really beautiful, and you are still the water nourishment of our Chenjia Village. ”

Lu Caiqing smiled and agreed, but she was thinking in her heart, what mother-in-law is afraid of avoiding trouble, she is not afraid of running away, and she will make her hair to show her identity as a married widow.

However, Lu Caiqing doesn't account so much, the first time he entered the city, it would be a lie to say that he was unhappy, after all, this is ancient times, and the difference between it and the twenty-first century is not a star and a half, Sister-in-law Li must think that she has never seen the world, so she just pretends to be timid and afraid, just disguise herself to avoid trouble.

Lu Caiqing lowered his head and counted, he has been here for almost four months, is he living in a daze like this? The mother-in-law has a vicious mouth, and the uncle doesn't know when he will make a surprise attack, and he has to guard against his lustful appearance, where is his prospect.

Lu Caiqing lowered her head and pondered, and when Sister-in-law Li saw her, she thought she was timid and afraid, so she comforted: "Caiqing! Don't be afraid, when you get to the place, Sister-in-law Li is in charge, your mother-in-law said, her embroidery is five cents is said before, how can your embroidery be worth three cents, when the time comes, Sister-in-law Li is bargaining with them, don't worry. ”

Lu Caiqing listened, and let her misunderstand without justifying the misunderstanding, so she didn't have to bargain by herself, and she was still at ease. It's a bit difficult to keep private money, Sister-in-law Li seems to be an honest person, and when the time comes, she will tell her mother-in-law truthfully how much money she sells, and she will definitely run out of oil and water.

Lu Caiqing thought, let's see if there are any business opportunities in the city to make money, and there is no need for Sister-in-law Li to follow when she comes back. As long as you work hard, you still have to worry about making no money!

Unconsciously, the ox cart drove all morning, and finally entered the city, and as soon as it entered the city, it came to the main street.

Although the county seat is not big, this bazaar is not small, the streets are lined with shops, and on both sides are the stalls set up by the people, doing buying and selling, needles and threads, rouge gouache, all kinds of groceries.

Lu Caiqing was still dazzled, although these were often seen before, but now she is penniless, even if she is cheap, she can only look at it with her eyes, Sister-in-law Li only thinks that she is a child of a villain and has never seen so many good things.

Sister-in-law Li asked Brother Li to prepare some daily necessities for her family, and she pulled Lu Caiqing into another street. Adjacent to the main street, it's just as bustling. Most of them are teahouses and taverns, as well as pawnshops and money houses, and this street should be a paradise for the rich to consume.

Sister-in-law Li pulled Caiqing to the end of the street and stayed in front of a building, Lu Caiqing looked up, the word "Red Mansion" was written on it, Sister-in-law Li dragged Caiqing, and said: "Don't look at it, we countrymen don't know a single word, what to see, listen to your mother-in-law say that this is called Red Mansion, her embroidery sales are here, I am also the first time to come, I guess there are no guests now, let's go!" I'll be back in a minute! ”

Without waiting for Lu Caiqing to speak, he walked inside, and as soon as he entered the door, a young man who picked up guests came out of the door and stopped them and said, "Hey, hey!" Where did the country sister-in-law come from, so she went inside and looked for her own man to go home to find it, but we didn't have it. ”

Sister-in-law Li seemed to be bold, after all, she was a countryman, and when she saw the people in the city, she felt that she was low-spirited, and she was so frightened that she took a step back, and suddenly pulled Cai Qing in front of her, bowed her head and said, "Cai Qing!" You say about your family, I'm afraid! ”

Lu Caiqing was pushed to the front by Sister-in-law Li, laughing in her heart, she had just told herself that she was the head, but when she arrived in front of her, she was stunned.
