Chapter 45 The people in the market are still closed if they want to talk
I got up early today, bought a lot of vegetables on the market, and met Zhang Shan who was also buying vegetables, yes, Zhang Shan who was always looking high and not smiling, and like us women, I rushed to the morning market to buy fresh vegetables.
He was dressed in a coat full of tools, with iron nails in his mouth, but he looked a little tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.
I was about to greet him and ask him about repairing the courtyard door, but he coldly intercepted my enthusiasm and nodded, "The bell is ready, come around and take it when you have time." ”
"Repaired so soon?" I was a little surprised, I just took it away yesterday evening, I didn't expect him to be so anxious to fix it, no wonder he looked like he stayed up all night.
Zhang Shan didn't reply to my words, and he didn't want to deal with me.
"My house-I dug a small hole in the courtyard gate yesterday, can you get something to help me make up for it, or fix a paint?"
"I'll let the pillar go later." Zhang Dan just put on the iron nail and left.
What's wrong? Could it be that he had a quarrel with Han San yesterday and turned his anger on me? Not really.
"Fei'er—"
I seemed to hear Aunt Cai from the meat stall on the side call me briefly, and when I turned around, I felt that I had heard it wrong, because Uncle Cai was talking to Aunt Cai about something, with a serious face-
"Aunt Cai, were you calling me just now?" I asked.
They immediately stopped talking, Uncle Cai lowered his head and wiped the meat cleaver, Aunt Cai looked at me a little flustered: "Call it, you shouldn't call it when you think about it, this is not us giving pig clones, you are most afraid of these, quickly hide away." ”
I nodded and said, "Oh, okay - then, please leave me a piece of ribs, a little more meat." I'll come and get it later. ”
Aunt Cai nodded, and Uncle Cai kept wiping the already clean meat cleaver with a serious face.
I looked at him and said, "Uncle Cai, then I'll go first." ”
Uncle Cai looked at me and smiled unnaturally.
It's strange that they must have something to hide from me.
Today, the market has turned around like this, and I feel that everyone's looks are a little strange, and they look like they want to talk and stop, what's wrong?
Thinking so, I had reached the side door of the toast building, and there were not many people who came early at this hour, and the door of the toast building was only open on one side, and I saw a tall man gently turn in through the back door.
Mo shopkeeper?
I recognize that figure, the owner of the toast building, the most beautiful man in town, Mo Haixi - this playful guy, where did he go back to play?
"Mo-" I was about to call, but he had already closed the back door, and he was in such a hurry, probably not wanting people to find out, although he was low-key, but his handsome and unusual face often made his appearance the center of attention-
The moment he closed the door, I seemed to see a flash of green light inside the door - what was that? How does it feel so familiar?
"Sister Fei, so early? Why are you stunned here? The little donkey patted me on the shoulder, and as soon as I turned my head, I saw his beautiful eyes.
I smiled and said, "I saw a fish that loves to swim and has just returned to the nest. ”
The little donkey sighed helplessly, and said, "So I can only suffer from us miscellaneous dogs, a little dog that I don't know where to pick up recently, and it's fun to play-" Speaking of this, he stared at me strangely and said, "I was about to say, isn't that little dog the one that Eleven Lang brought to me, every time I just see a small body slipping over, I don't think about it for a while." ”
"Erbastard?" Only then did I remember that after I fainted on the mountain and was sent down, I forgot about the second egg outside the clouds, and Han Sanxiao didn't find it when he came back just now, otherwise he probably had to bring a knife to see him.
"Called Erdan?" The donkey paused, expressing his utterness at the name, and continued, "Well, but the shopkeeper did not treat it badly, and served it with delicious food and drink, more delicately than a man." ”
I stumbled and said, "That's good." I'll come over later to take a look, to be honest, I really don't have experience in raising puppies, I'm afraid of raising them. Does Shopkeeper Mo understand? ”
The little donkey said: "I see that he is familiar with the way, and I have never heard him say that he has raised it before." ”
I smiled and said, "That's fine, it's better to follow your shopkeeper's delicious food and drink, and carry it with you finely, than to follow Han San to laugh at that sloppy ghost who can't eat enough." ”
The little donkey said, "Indeed." ”
After chatting for a while, I remembered that I was going to go to Cui Ge to have a look, but it turned out that he was still in the goods and did not come back.
A thought popped up in my heart, should it be, how true......
At this moment, a sound of footsteps interrupted my thoughts, and I looked up at the west, the sky was still a little dark, and I saw a pair of women's peculiar lotus-like feet flashing in the morning light that fell on the ground, and her long hair and clothes fluttered in the morning light, like petals flying from a branch.
The woman was getting closer and closer to me, and I squinted and recognized her—
Miss Zheng?
A ridiculous thought suddenly flashed through my mind: I have never seen this slender and golden-footed Miss Zheng run and fly on the road like this.
I saw that she had a serious face, a lot of sweat on her forehead, and when she saw me, she smiled, and her cheeks were slightly red, as if she had come to me on purpose.
"Miss Zheng, how are you-"
Miss Zheng gasped and said, "Great, I really don't recognize the way to your house any further—Miss Yan, I have something very important to tell you......
I was quite surprised, what was worth it for her to run out to me in the sedan chair early in the morning.
"What's the matter?"
"It's about the embroidery on the Yan girl's village - this matter is not suitable to be publicized outside, so let's take a step to speak." Miss Zheng pulled me to the street shop, she said that she didn't know the way to my house, and there shouldn't be many in the town, but she was familiar with the way and brought me to Li Xue's shop.
Li Xue stood at the door, she usually didn't open the door so early, and today it seemed like she was waiting for us on purpose.
Miss Zheng turned her head to look at me and said, "I only know Sister Li, aren't you also good friends, and it's most convenient to talk there." ”
I had a sense of foreboding, but I couldn't put it into words—because I hadn't seen someone put on such a worried face on me in a long time.
Miss Zheng seemed to be very familiar with this place, and took me around to the back room, which used to be like half of my home, and in the past years, I spent most of my time here with Li Xue.
Miss Zheng was still panting slightly, but she didn't sit down, and said bluntly: "This matter is related to the reputation of Miss Yan's embroidery village, and I don't want to find someone to talk to, so I came to you myself." ”
Is it about the reputation of the embroidery village? I looked confused, but I still said strangely: "Miss Zheng, don't say anything about you, you and you, you are direct-no, we are not much older, just call it equally." Or you can call me Yan Fei. ”
Miss Zheng blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I'm afraid of being rude. This is all later, I came to you today to ask you about embroidery. After that, she pulled out a big red juan from her sleeve, embroidered with a brilliant golden lotus, wasn't this what I embroidered for Mrs. Zheng as a sample?
"What's wrong with my embroidery?" I looked at the golden lotus above, it was full of beauty, rich and auspicious, and there was no problem of wrong needles and empty needles!
Miss Zheng bit her lip, put Hongjuan on the table, picked up the teapot on the side and poured it on Hongjuan-
"Hey—" I didn't have time to stop, but my eyes widened immediately—
The golden lotus outlined by the beautiful golden thread was suddenly polluted by miasma, and immediately turned into a jet-black color, like a beautiful face with a living color suddenly turned into a skeleton and carrion, how can there be a little auspicious and precious appearance, it is just--simply terrifying!
I caught Hongjuan, the red lotus is still a little hot, I looked at it carefully, yes, this is indeed my embroidery, this gold thread is my own hand embroidery, is my most satisfactory work to use as a sample, but how can it turn black in hot water, and emit such a fishy and pungent smell?! Even the fingertips of my fingers that touched Wulian felt the pain of pins and needles.
Li Xue whispered at the door: "When it turns into black in water, if it is really quenched with gold powder, it will never be like this." This golden thread is fake. ”
I was so shocked that I couldn't explain!
Miss Zheng sat down and said softly: "It's best to check the batch of gold threads that Miss Yan sent to my house first, whether they are all like this or partially flawed, it's best to see how many embroideries have gold threads, while no one has found out yet, chase them back and make up for them first, and keep the reputation is true." ”
"I ...... I don't use false threads, I use gold threads with a sufficient amount of silver, and I will never ......"
Miss Zheng said: "I naturally believe that you, Miss Yan, will come to tell me alone." The family didn't know about it yet, and the most important thing at the moment was to find out what the problem was. ”
"Check? …… How to check...... "I'm flustered and have no owner."
"If the problem is on the gold line, it is natural to go to the side of the sales line first to see if there is anything missing." Ms. Cheng is well-organized and firm.
Where does the gold thread come from? Naturally, I want to find Jin Niang. But I quickly recalled that I hadn't seen her for a long time, and I almost lost Xia Xia after sending Xia Xia to find her.
My ability to deal with problems has always been very poor, I used to want to delay and let it disappear as soon as something happened, but now I want to find Song Lingjian Han San as soon as something happens.
I have to go back and discuss this matter with Song Lingjian and Xia Xia, but I can't look embarrassed and incompetent in front of them, so I can only find an excuse to get up and leave: "I-I remember that I still have some things to do--I'll talk about the matter of the golden thread when I go back......"
Li Xue knew me better, grabbed me and said, "What will be more important than the reputation of Xiuzhuang?" That's what you've been working on for so many years! ”
I was about to cry: "I-I promised Master Zhang to go and get the repaired pear bell-"
"I'll help you, you better go back and check it out." Miss Zheng also stood up, the two of them were slender and thin, but they were like two mountains oppressing me.
