59. Sell Yourself?

The shopkeeper Huang suddenly mentioned the willow tree, which was very unexpected by the catkins.

Seeing that Liu Wu was a little dazed, Shopkeeper Huang further clarified: "Didn't you come to me to find a way to marry Cheng'er in exchange for your eldest brother returning to Wenchang Academy?" ”

Liu Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that Liu Shu has gone crazy about the matter of returning to Wenchang Academy, and he went to the doctor in a hurry, and asked the Huang shopkeeper for help.

Looking at the disdainful expression of the shopkeeper Huang, he must have rejected his request.

Liu Wu shook his head and said, "No, I am here for myself, and I have nothing to do with Willow Tree." He is no different from a cousin who sells his sister for a future at any time, and a jackal who wants to eat a rabbit at any time, have you ever seen a rabbit trying to save a jackal? ”

Regarding the catkins' description of the willow tree as a "jackal", the shopkeeper Huang couldn't help but smile, hugged his shoulder, and said solemnly: "Then what are you doing with me?" ”

Liu Fu got straight to the point: "Two marriages, you have paid special attention to me, according to my intuition, your attention to me is the kind of attention that smells business opportunities, and it just so happens that I need this opportunity." ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, the first time I went, I saw the clothes you wore, the style is very chic, the tassels and buckles on it are also very beautiful, after I came back, I repeatedly asked the embroidery girl to try hundreds of times, and I didn't pull out the buckles you used." This is also the reason why I went to Liuhe Village for the second time. But I was disappointed that the clothes you wore later were really indescribable. ”

The shopkeeper pointed to the dark pink "mummy" still worn on the catkins, and searched his brain for no words to use to describe his extreme dislike.

Liu Wu smiled, touched the collar and placket that were sewn in a mess, and said: "This dress is really indescribable, I opened it once, and someone sewed it up the second time, it seems that I have to hurry up and invent the lock chastity buckle." ”

The shopkeeper Huang is also from a poor background, and he agrees with the words of catkins.

Liu Wu got straight to the point: "Tassels, concentric knots, belt knots, coil buckle knots, and even clothes styles that can be used, I can sell them all to you." ”

Shopkeeper Huang smiled slyly and said: "You are direct, I might as well tell you directly, your buckle and belt knot fastening, my embroidery girl can try it sooner or later, and there is no need to go through a lot of trouble to buy ......."

"Time is money, if you are not in a hurry, the shopkeeper Huang will not spend a horse of silk to attend the wedding in Liuhe Village, which is not easy for the shopkeeper Huang." The catkins did not let an inch of land, and they hit the nail on the head to find out the profit of the yellow shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said, "How much silver do you want?" ”

Shopkeeper Huang already has a rough estimate in his heart, and with these little fresh toys, he should be able to bring back some old customers from the embroidery workshop.

Liu Fu shook his head and said, "I originally wanted silver, but now I have changed my mind, Huang Shopkeeper, do you have a way to let Liu Shu return to Wenchang Academy?" ”

"Huh?" The shopkeeper Huang was very surprised, he just described the willow tree as a jackal, why did he help the jackal again after such a while?

Liu Fu sighed, solemnly bowed to the Huang shopkeeper, and said that he wanted to separate from the old mansion, with the bargaining chip of Wenchang Academy, Liu Shu will definitely help himself, and the effect will be great.

Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said: "Okay, I can help you, but, your younger brother has passed away, and there is no man in the third room, even if Liu Shu agrees to help you persuade your grandmother, the elders of the Liu family will not agree to go out alone in the third room." Unless, unless......"

"Unless what?" Seeing that the yellow shopkeeper was spitting, Liu Wu asked.

"Unless you and your sister are sold, your mother agrees to remarry."

Liu Fu willow eyebrows upside down, anger from the heart, he was afraid of being sold before he had to separate the family, but now the shopkeeper Huang told himself that if he wanted to really separate the family, he had to sell himself first and marry the widow of the Liu family, what kind of logical order is this?

Liu had the urge to choke his neck and pinch the yellow shopkeeper to death.

The shopkeeper Huang signaled Liu Fu not to be angry first, and explained: "I have grown up with you in your twenties, and you have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten rice, this is definitely a way to do it once and for all, if not, your milk still has the power to control you, and it will not be lost because of your separation, unless you are no longer surnamed Liu." ”

Liu Wu couldn't help but be silent.

In her little thoughts, she only thought that if she separated the Liu family, she could not be constrained by the Zhou family and not be subject to the calculations of the willow tree, but she completely forgot that the family has a special meaning in this era.

The elders in the clan always have supreme power, just like the old lady Liu, although he is separated from the Zhou family, the Liu family, two layers of relatives, but because the generations are there, the Zhou family has to be a little afraid of him.

In this way, even if he is divided, as long as Zhou lifts the burning stick, he will obediently pout his ass and be beaten, and when he is not separated, he is just short of eating in a pot.

The more Liu Wu thought about it, the more discouraged he became, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, only to realize that his thoughts were still too naΓ―ve.

The shopkeeper Huang saw the eggplant beaten like frost by the catkins, and felt that he was funny: "Huang Ji donates silver to Wenchang Academy every year to buy books, and he can speak, your eldest brother is the one who asked me when he saw this layer." He also promised that as long as I helped, he could choose two women from your house, but I didn't agree. Now it seems that it was the right thing to say yes to him. ”

Liu Wu glanced at the shopkeeper Huang sideways, and said with a smile: "You are wishful thinking, it is not enough to marry Huang Cheng, but also to take a concubine and marry sisters together, which is really a double happiness." ”

The embarrassed eyes of the shopkeeper Huang flickered twice, his mouth opened, and he finally didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of angering Liu Fu again.

At that time, the willow tree promised to be sent to the two sisters of the Huang family, but they were not all allowed to be a wife and a concubine to Huang Cheng, but one married Huang Cheng, and the other married Huang as a housekeeper.

In other words, one is a mother and the other is a daughter-in-law.

Liu Fu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The Huang shopkeeper is really despicable, and he informed me in advance, lest I be sent to the Huang family by the willow tree in a daze." ”

The shopkeeper raised his hand and begged for mercy: "I don't dare to let you enter the Huang family." I'm despicable enough to fall brightly, you are despicable to the bright base, let's two half a pound against eight taels. Fortunately, you are pit a willow tree, not me, I am not talking about marrying, but buying a 'slave'. ”

The shopkeeper Huang explained his thoughts to the catkins in detail.

It's very simple, that is, to buy slaves first, the willow catkins and willow bud sisters bought the Huang family together, and entered the Huang family.

Liu Fu shook his head firmly, if he bought two sisters and left only the Liu family, he would not be at ease with 10,000; If you buy the Liu family together, but the Liu family is different from herself, she is a widow herself, let her enter the Huang family as a slave, and she has to serve an old man like the Huang shopkeeper, I am afraid that this reputation will be over.

The Liu family refused to remarry and could not be sold into the Huang family, and the catkins were really sad.

Left is not good, right is not good, Huang shopkeeper was so anxious that he sweated, and said hurriedly: "This is not good, that is not good, it seems that our Huang family is short of servants." ”

Angry, the shopkeeper Huang finally racked his brains to come up with another way, that is, after the two sisters were bought into the Huang family, the Liu family had no children and no daughters under the knees, and the Liu family, the mother's family, could come forward and give the Liu family some symbolic silver, and take the Liu family back to the Liu family, which can be regarded as breaking off the relationship with the Liu family.

Although the Liu family is poor, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Liu family are harsh, the Liu family's mother is still alive, and it is more comfortable than in the Liu family.

It's just that, according to Liu's character of "born is the Liu family, death is the ghost of the Liu family", will she agree to leave the Liu family?

Liu Fu was still hesitating, and the Liu shopkeeper had a gloomy face and said: "Liu Wu, the businessman is not profitable early, you didn't earn me a penny, but you put forward so many conditions, why are you sure that I will agree to you?" ”

Liu Wu picked up the brush used by Huang Cheng on the ground, picked up a piece of rice paper, and simply drew a simple drawing.

The shopkeeper Huang first snorted at the painter of catkins, and when he saw the style of the clothes, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Liu Wu pointed to the picture with the tail of the brush and said: "The current style of clothes is too simple, most of them are loose on the placket, and they can't highlight the advantages of women, is this one different?" ”

The clothes painted by the catkins are a long slim bat-patterned skirt with a placket, with no superfluity from top to bottom, which fully reflects the beauty of women.

The middle double row of buttons and buckles, although complicated, is very beautiful, decorated with a pullover shawl, and hundreds of tassels hang from the tail of the shawl, which is very elegant.

The shopkeeper Huang was moved by the atlas at a glance, and praised it: "It looks complicated and time-consuming, but it is very elegant, even if you use the cheapest fabric, you can make a noble look." ”

Liu Wu shook his head and said, "If you sell the cheapest cloth to the poor, how many copper plates can you earn?" Each piece of clothing, whether it makes money or not, depends on whether it chooses the right customer group, if you want to be noble, here, here, and here, you can decorate valuable things. ”

The catkins tap the top of the tassel and the bottom of the skirt with a brush.

The shopkeeper Huang is a smart person, a little through, just like this dress, there are hundreds of tassels at the shawl, if you decorate a pearl above each tassel, the grade of the whole dress will be rapidly improved, even if the county lord wears it, it will not be inferior.

"But ......" Huang's shopkeeper's old face turned red, the past five years of operation have made him disappear the rich lady's customers, and the patrons are poor people, it is really not easy to let the lady of the noble family move to Huang's cloth village.

Liu Fu smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, if the mountain doesn't come, I'll come to the mountain, and if the ladies don't come, you will go*." ”
