Liu Zhi forgot to chew for a while, pondering, and after a moment she raised her head and said resolutely with great determination: "If my father and they don't agree, I still want to marry you, I like you." You can fish, you fish, I sell fish, and I sell it to Jiaojiao. We'll have money soon, and then we'll buy a big house on our own. ”

Li Chun looked at her round rose-colored cheeks, nodded with a smile, and turned his head to look at the white sails on the river, for fear that tears would fall immediately. No, I don't want Xiaozhi to suffer a little bit, if Xiaozhi becomes like those rough fishermen with a fishy smell, I'd rather she not marry herself. She should be blessed, Jiao Didi does nothing, wears a silk skirt and gold jewelry like Feng Jiaojiao.

The Qingshui River is an important waterway connected to the Grand Canal, and the waterway is the famous Songning Banknote Pass for a hundred miles, and the boats on the river are shuttling back and forth. An official ship transporting copper from Yunnan drove violently in the center of the river, and the dragon was as domineering as breaking through the water, and went straight to the Grand Canal hundreds of miles away. The cargo ships on both sides squeezed to the side like shrimp to give way, and when they were knocked over, they could only blame themselves for their short hands and slow feet.

Li Chun looked at the wake wave, which was a flower blooming on the surface of the Qingshui River, carrying the dream of merchants from the north and south to make a fortune, and it was constantly blooming and disappearing. The river wind blows, and there is something in his chest that is full, and one day he will also move forward and marry his beloved little girl with all the wealth in the world.

"Mama Li, do you have any guests today?" Liu Zhi saw that Mama Li had already bought fish and meat early in the morning, and couldn't help but be curious.

Li's mother laughed a little, uh, how to say, sneaky, and coaxed herself with a child-like tone, "Big girl, go comb your hair quickly, dress up beautifully today, let people see that my big girl is a flower on Sweet Water Well Street." ”

How strange this sounds. Liu Zhi returned to her room, and Li was waiting for her with a smile: "Come on, my mother will comb your hair, and you have to dress up well today, and look like a girl." "On the table is a pair of new head ropes, and the cherry red strings are strung with small red beads, which is very delicate. This is not the color of my own shop, it seems that my mother must have bought it from the gouache shop.

In a state of ignorance, Liu Zhi was dressed up fragrantly, and Li's mother was busy in the kitchen, but she was not allowed to step into the kitchen. She had to take wicker to play with sheep crutches on the stone table, and after half a day, she heard her called, and the guest arrived, and her mother asked her to meet the guest.

Liu Zhi took his sister to the hall, and saw a thin woman with a narrow face sitting in the hall, and a small flower silk shirt of autumn fragrance had creases, which was obviously worn when she went out as a guest. There is also a little girl about the same age as herself, her hair is soft and slightly yellow, even her face is a little yellow, a pair of green cloth shoes embroidered with a pair of butterflies, the needlework is very exquisite, but it has been washed white, and the embroidered colored threads have faded.

Since Liu Zhi's family, he has a natural fear and dislike for this kind of long-faced and thin woman, but people recognize that it is Yang Xiucai's wife and daughter Yang Xiuxiu who live in Luosi Lane. A few days ago, Yang Xiuxiu was also there when the Feng family was drinking, but she was Xiucai's daughter, tall and poor, and she didn't sit with these little ladies of merchants with gold and silver.

Willow Zhi thought to himself what they were doing in their own house, did they pay on credit? Yang Xiucai's family is very poor, and there is a brother who studies to provide, and their family is one of the few who pay on credit at home, and every time he checks out, his father has to erase the odds. Thinking like this in his heart, he stepped forward to say hello in a proper manner.

The clothes worn by Liu Zhi were specially selected for her by Li in the morning, a newly made butterfly dress with a floral pattern, and a pleated skirt, all of which were pink ayako, which made her more white and delicate, and it was really like a flower and a bone. Her thick black hair was tied in a bun, tied with a new headband, and pinned to a pair of small golden flowers; A pair of onyx bead earrings swayed gently as she lowered her head, and a pretty little girl stood.

She replied to Yang Lushi: "I take my sister at home every day and do housework; I didn't go to school, but I was literate, and I read some of them from my father's account book. ”

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue. The literate woman's mind was full of life, and she spent her days thinking about things that she didn't have. The eldest girl only needs to learn the female red well, learn more and learn the three virtues and four virtues, and be a proper woman in the future. Yang Lushi said with a straight face.

Liu Zhi felt inexplicable and couldn't help but look up at Yang Lu's family. Seeing that the eldest daughter was unruly again, Li hurriedly interrupted, saying that Liu Zhi was learning needlework and sharpening his temperament. Hearing these words that seemed to be another of himself, Liu Zhi stepped aside depressedly, feeling that Yang Lu's eyes were always scraping on his body, as if he wanted to scrape off a layer of his own skin.

Her hairs stood on end. Fortunately, Li asked her to take Yang Xiuxiu and Wicker to play, and she breathed a sigh of relief and escaped from Yang Lu's scrutinizing eyes.

The beds, tables, chairs, tables, and stools in the willow branch room are all brought from their own shops, which are naturally complete, and they are all exquisite utensils suitable for her daughter's home. The copper basin on the washstand is also small, and a large carp is carved on the bottom of the basin. Yang Xiuxiu said critically: "It's not rosewood, my father's desk is all rosewood." ”

Liu Zhi brought snack boxes, shuttlecocks, flower cards and other toys, and Yang Xiuxiu said: "I don't play with these, my father only allows me to learn to draw and read at home." Glancing around the willow branch room, he criticized: "You don't have a book at home, my father said that gold and silver are the most tacky, and books are the most elegant at home." ”

Liu Zhi couldn't have a pleasant conversation with Yang Xiuxiu, she hung her head and let out a dejected "forehead", leaving Yang Xiuxiu alone to drink tea in the house, and take the wicker to the soaphorn tree to blow the wind and breathe.

"What are they here for?" Willow asked her sister.

Wicker shook his head: "It's just that my mother said that you can do it and be beautiful." "In Wicker's eyes, her sister is already capable and beautiful, and her mother is right.

Willow Branch shuddered when he heard this, why did he seem to be trying to sell himself? Sold to - Yang Xiucai's house?? Because of the fight in Feng Jiaojiao's house a few days ago, my father and mother were angry? So don't do it yourself?

The more Liu Zhi thought about it, the more right it became, his father liked reading people very much, so he allowed Yang Xiucai's family to take credit, and his father must have felt that he was not well-behaved and wanted to change himself and Yang Xiuxiu. Huashi County has this tradition of changing relatives, some children in the family have different characters or are difficult to raise, find a family with the same eight characters and two families to change the children to raise, take a complementary meaning. Liu Zhi was about to cry when she thought about it, Yang Xiucai's eyes were like knives, she didn't want to go to such a family.

Liu Wang let the guy look at the counter, and he entertained Yang Xiucai and Yang Dongyun, the brother of the Yang family, in the ear room. He usually settles accounts and takes a nap in this ear room, and he cleans up clean and bright, which is not a disgrace to the two reading seeds. The best jasmine double kiln and the delicate fruit on it, the whole house is fragrant, Yang Xiucai kept admiring, sniffed it again and again, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity, the utensils are not beautiful, this cup of porcelain clay is not delicate enough, and the white is not clean, transparent, and uneven." Sweet white porcelain without Ru porcelain is also excellent. "Sweet white porcelain! Feng Youcai can't afford it, as for Ru porcelain--- Liu Wang's heart is full of awe, he is really a small person in Shengdou.
