Liu Man'er and the others followed the steward to an alley and stopped, looking at the appearance of this alley, it didn't look like a rich person's place, Liu Man'er looked at it, and knew that this should be the back door of a big family.

The steward didn't speak, that is, he wanted to take something for the people inside to taste, and then let them wait here, Liu Man'er generously agreed, took his own tray and let the steward take Xu Du in, and the other people also gave some to the steward.

But they all seem to know this steward, looking at this steward is quite flattering, and even a little servile, Liu Man'er can't do this kind of work, although she also wants to take this line, but it's still okay to sell a smiley face, let her be a servile to the right person, she can't do it, and there is no need for this.

After the steward went in, Liu Man'er and the others began to wait, Liu Man'er had already been prepared to wait for a long time, after all, this courtyard was deep, if this steward was to give it to his master to taste, then she didn't know how long she would have to wait.

But with Ye Yuan by her side, she is not bored.

Although Ye Yuan would not take the initiative to say anything, if Liu Man'er asked him anything, he would still answer, and Liu Man'er would also respond to Liu Man'er when he spoke.

These people all looked at the inside of the door expectantly, but Liu Man'er pulled Ye Yuan and squatted down under the eaves opposite.

Although this is quite unsightly, Liu Man'er can't care about so much, making her feel a little tired standing still.

Ye Yuan paid a lot of attention to his image outside, Liu Man'er called him several times, pulled the hem of his clothes, he looked around, and saw that everyone else was squatting, so he squatted down.

"Aren't you tired from standing? How comfortable it is for us to squat. Liu Man'er gave him a blank look, "No one here will know you, don't pay attention to those images." ”

Ye Yuan had already squatted down, but after hearing Liu Man'er's words, he stood up again, "A gentleman must be cautious, I'd better continue to stand, I'm used to standing." ”

Seeing him like this, Liu Man'er also stood up, "I really can't help you, wait until I'm tired of standing, you have to rub my legs when I go home." ”

Ye Yuan knew that she was accommodating herself, so she couldn't help but smile in her heart and nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

Liu Man'er stood with Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan saw that there were many people here, but he just had a straight face, and didn't talk to Liu Man'er more, Liu Man'er knew that he was such a person, so he didn't force him, but he raised his eyes from time to time and looked into the door.

"There's no need to rush." When Ye Yuan saw her like this, he said, "It is estimated that he will not be able to come out for a while." ”

"I know, but you don't talk to me, what do you want me to do?" Liu Man'er pursed her lips and said, "I'm so bored. ”

"If you're bored, eat two peanuts." Ye Yuan took the initiative to find a stone pier nearby and sat down this time, he slowly peeled the peanuts, and Liu Man'er also sat beside him, he peeled her to eat, and time passed in silence minute by minute.

After a while, the steward came out of the back door, and all these sellers surrounded him, and Liu Man'er heard the steward call, "Hey, the peanut seller is here." Then she finished the peanut in her mouth and walked to the door.

"Your peanuts are good, we bought them." The shopkeeper asked Ye Yuan to come over with Liu Man'er, and he took them, as well as some other people who were selected, to walk into the courtyard together.

Sure enough, this is just a backyard, where some mothers-in-law and maids are busy, and the person in charge took Liu Man'er and others to a warehouse with food, and then moved out and began to weigh their things.

Liu Man'er's basket of peanuts was a total of twenty catties, and she got one or two pieces of silver, and after taking the silver, Liu Man'er was ready to leave with Ye Yuan, anyway, looking at the high-minded appearance of this purchasing manager, she felt that it was a little difficult for her to catch up with him.

After all, even giving her money looks like a flower child, she looked a little panicked, but she still endured it in the face of money, people live, sometimes they always compromise for various reasons, he looks at people like this, he is rude, Liu Man'er is not as knowledgeable as him.

Just as they were turning to leave, the man stopped them, "Wait a minute, register." ”

"Register what?" Liu Man'er asked a little puzzled.

"The name, where the family lives, what is sold in our house, how much it costs, these are all to be written clearly." The steward explained with Liu Man'er a little impatiently.

Liu Man'er didn't want to write it, but after thinking about it, she walked to the stage and wrote Ye Yuan's name and address.

"You didn't write our address for another purpose, did you?" After writing it, Liu Man'er asked one more question.

"You're thinking too much, these are just our own accounts, the reason why we wrote down your address is because your thing is quite good, maybe we will buy your things next time." The steward saw that Liu Man'er, a village woman, could write, and her writing was not bad, but he looked down on her, and her tone of voice became better.

"I see, thank you for taking care of it." Liu Man'er nodded, put down the brush, and then walked outside with Ye Yuan.

The things are also sold out, and it is time to take a stroll in the county, although she doesn't plan to buy a horse, but Liu Man'er thought about it or went to the horse market to take a look, and asked the price, sure enough, as Ye Yuan said, the average horse costs more than twenty taels of silver, only some foals are cheaper, but the price is also more than fifteen taels of silver.

"It's a bit expensive, next time, next time when our house is built, we will buy a horse again, and then buy a car to put it on, which can be regarded as a family with a house and a car." Liu Man'er took Ye Yuan's arm and said with a smile.

Ye Yuan saw that there were many people around, so he quietly took out her arm from the crook of his arm, and then responded, "Hmm." ”

"Wait, next year, next year at the latest, I'll buy you a horse." Liu Man'er said, "When you buy a horse, you have to take me around twice, and things like this that I can't even hold you are allowed to do can't happen again." ”

"It depends."

"I know, it depends on whether there is anybody." Liu Man'er pouted, "Is it a shameful thing for me to hold you?" ”

"No, it's just that people will gossip about you behind your back." Ye Yuan replied.

"Gossip about me?"

Liu Man'er was puzzled, but then she thought about it and settled down again, as if this was indeed the case, whether it was in the past life or in this life, even if it was separated by different time and space, but human beings always like to blame some sins on women.

"What do they say about me? Say I'm in broad daylight and unorthodox? Liu Man'er snorted coldly, "It's all some fake and serious people." ”

"Well, you're right, I'm actually a serious person." Ye Yuan nodded and admitted: "But living in this world, there are so many things we have to worry about after all, I'm fine, it's just that your ears are so sensitive, you must be able to hear the bad things that others say about you." ”

"Uh......" It seems that this is indeed the case, but Liu Man'er has never listened to these nonsense things before, but at this moment, when Ye Yuan said this, she paid attention to listening to other people's whispers.

I happened to hear a stall owner say to her and Ye Yuan, "I can't afford it, why don't you ask." ”

"It's all your fault, I just heard a stall owner scolding us, saying that if we can't afford it, don't ask for the price." Liu Man'er complained to Ye Yuan.

"Ignore him." Ye Yuan comforted Liu Man'er, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he really couldn't afford it, he suddenly felt that he was a little useless, after all, everything in the family now is in charge of Liu Man'er.

"Well, I don't listen." Liu Man'er shifted her attention and looked at the other things sold around, this is this horse market, which sells livestock, and there is nothing to look at, so she pulled Ye Yuan to another street.

There is a street dedicated to buying some jewelry, ready-to-wear fabrics, rouge gouache, etc., because some shops have cooperated with Liu Man'er in the past, so when Liu Man'er went in, some shopkeepers still knew her.

After seeing her, he even greeted her with some surprise, "Boss Ye and Miss Liu, the two of you haven't been here for a long time, and the goods in our store have long been sold out, so I can't do it if I ask someone else to do it." ”

"Oh, really?" Liu Man'er said to the shopkeeper, "We didn't come to deliver today, I just came to shop, since the last time you said that there are many imitations that are not easy to sell now, I haven't done it." ”

"Ah, I just complained casually at the time, and now there are still a lot of maids and ladies who ask." The shopkeeper said, "It was like that at the time, but then everyone thought that your goods were good, and now you go to see, many people on this street are beautiful to hang the sachets sold by our family." ”

"Haha." Liu Man'er laughed, she didn't think of this, so she said to the shopkeeper, "We have been busy with the fields for this time, and the farming is idle during this time, and we will do it again when the time comes." ”

"Okay, remember to leave some for us when the goods are available." The shopkeeper said with some expectation.

"Of course, as long as the shopkeeper doesn't dislike it." Liu Man'er smiled, and walked around the shop, she wanted to buy a lot of beautiful jewelry, but when she thought of the house and the horse, she resisted the urge to chop her hands.

It's better to save the money, if she is ridiculed for not having money again, then she will be ashamed.

Liu Man'er then went to several other stores, mainly to ask about the sales of her sachets, and she thought that if she could, she would reopen it.

At first, she thought it was tiring to make sachets, but after getting off the ground, she instantly felt that it was really easy to draw flowers.

And when the time comes, she needs money to build a house and buy a horse, and all of a sudden, the financial pressure is greater, and she still has to work harder.

Now that the farm has passed, and the peanuts have been sold, in addition to the matter of the house, it seems that she is idle again, in this case, it is not impossible to reopen her workshop, and Ye He's patterns are almost painted now, but she can also help her, so that she will not be too tired.

But shouldn't she buy someone to help her take care of the family's livestock? After all, it takes time for these chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. to feed them, and the work of sprinkling and cleaning and washing clothes in the house also needs people to do it, Liu Man'er herself doesn't want to do it, and she doesn't want Fang Shi and Ye He to do it, so after thinking about it, she decided to go to Ya Po to have a look and buy a little girl to come back.
