Chapter Seventy-Three: Insomnia, Cloudbeard is missing
Liu's mother and daughter pricked up their ears to listen, what she wanted.
"Xiao Xu." Shen Huazhuo softened his tone.
"We have been busy with your second sister's affairs recently, and we still have Xiaoxing to take care of at home, I'm afraid it's a little busy, if you want to take care of Xiaoxu for a few days, it's no problem." Liu laughed, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.
Shen Hua said coldly: "It's not to take care of it for a few days, five hundred taels of silver to buy out your relationship." After speaking, without waiting for the mother and daughter to speak, they got up and walked out of the window, and the leaves of the elm tree had begun to turn yellow and fall in autumn.
Once the leaves fall, they can't go back.
"Big girl, you ...... How can you talk like that? Liu was so angry that he trembled, even if he didn't want Shen Huaxu, they should have brought it up.
"Five hundred taels of silver and a Xiao Xu, who is a burden to you, you weigh it yourself." Putting down the cruel words, Shen Huazhuo raised his feet and left.
This is to leave room for consideration and negotiation for them.
She didn't go far, she stood in the corridor outside the room, just in time to hear the conversation between the mother and daughter in the room.
"Mother, five hundred taels of silver, can you take it out?" Shen Huayan's delicate face wrinkled.
Liu shook his head helplessly: "If we can take it, do we still need to beg her?" ”
"If you don't want it, you don't want it, anyway, he's a fool, it's useless to keep him, it costs money to raise him, and it costs money to marry a daughter-in-law for him when he grows up."
With Xiao Xu, except for being able to pick up money from Shen Huazhuo, there is no benefit at all, and it will be more troublesome when she grows up in the future, Liu understands these truths, she just hesitated: "I still have to ask your father about this matter." ”
Although Shen Dagui doesn't care about things, his temper is not easy to get along with.
The mother and daughter quickly found Shen Dagui, you said, I persuaded Shen Dagui, who also loves silver, in a word.
Shen Huazhuo looked at the mother and daughter who had reached a consensus, and said with a smile: "Silly brother exchanged five hundred taels of silver, you earned it." ”
With Shen Huaxu for the rest of his life, it may not be possible to take out five hundred taels of silver from her.
"It's not five hundred taels, it's a thousand taels." Liu's lion opened his mouth.
Shen Huayan held Xiao Xu tightly, lest he run away, now he is a golden man, and he can't afford to lose half a point.
"Why don't you grab it?" Shen Huazhuo glared at Liu, expecting that they would not compromise easily, but he didn't expect that he would dare to open his mouth at will.
"It's useless for Xiao Xu to follow us, but I know you care about him, anyway, you have a good relationship with Second Young Master Fu, five hundred taels is the same, isn't it the same for one thousand taels?" Now that they have talked about it, Liu Shi stopped pretending, and touched his smiling cheeks with a sinister face.
"I won't give more than five hundred taels for one." Who wouldn't bargain?
Shen Huazhuo's psychological price can be more, but now is not the time to give in.
"You really don't want to give it?" Shocked by Shen Huazhuo's powerful aura, Shen Huayan's heart was empty, this was her dowry, only she was the most anxious.
Shen Huazhuo's face sank slightly, "It's not that I don't give it, it's really not." "If she is a money bank, she can take it if she wants.
"No, don't think about taking Xiao Xu away." Shen Dagui glared angrily.
His biological father only regarded Xiao Xu as an item, and Shen Hua laughed angrily: "Then don't say anything, I definitely don't have a thousand taels of silver, Xiao Xu, I ...... I can't afford it. After saying that, he turned around and left, without the slightest nostalgia.
Yun Huzi stood outside the door and listened, and when he saw her alone, he raised his hand to hold her wrist, and glared at the Shen family fiercely.
Shen Dagui was so frightened by the sudden cold air that he didn't dare to come out, Shen Huayan gritted his teeth and plucked up his courage: "Eldest sister, give me some more, five hundred taels are all dowry...... After purchasing the dowry, there is nothing.
"You give a dowry of five hundred taels, how much should their Li family dowry?" Is she really still a stupid girl?
Won't you even count this account?
……
After a round of fierce bargaining, for the sake of the dowry and Shen Huazhuo's strong request, the two sides traded for six hundred taels of silver.
Shen Dagui pressed his handprint on the letter of separation with Shen Huaxu, and Shen Huazhuo also promised to send them silver three days later, and then sent them away.
Yunbeard looked at Shen Huazhuo sitting in front of the window in silence.
She had been sitting there for two hours.
"Not enough money?" He stepped forward to stroke her weak shoulder, every time he gave the seeds to the Fu family, he sent them to the town, and he knew the price, it was definitely not enough.
He's her man, and he'll have to figure it out for her.
"I'll figure it out." Shen Huazhuo patted his hand, went to bed and slept with his head covered.
She was thinking of a way to get her to take out the thousand-year-old ginseng that had taken shape in the space and sell it.
Ginseng is precious, and only one plant is enough to sell for nearly 1,000 taels of silver.
After a dreamless night, after the rooster crowed three times, Shen Hua was startled, suddenly woke up, reached out to touch the inside of the bed, and as in the past, there was no cloud beard for a long time.
A lot of the time, I don't know when he went to bed or when he got up.
"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother has gone to the mountains." After washing, Yun Xiaomei came up to confess.
"It's okay, why don't you accompany me to the town."
She was reluctant to go alone, and always felt that something was wrong with the town, and multiple people could be brave.
Without Yun Huzi to accompany him, Shen Huazhuo made up a lie at random, took out the ginseng in front of Yun Xiaomei, and went to Wang Ji Pharmacy to sell it openly, and the price given by the shopkeeper Wang was eight hundred taels of silver.
It's not high, but it's not low.
"As far as you two are lucky, others have dug up to the sky for 500 years, and you are old this year." Wang Yongcheng always thought that it was dug by Yunbeard.
Shen Huazhuo smiled perfunctorily: "They don't dare to go deep in the mountains, and we are also fighting for our lives."
It's this reason, Wang Yongcheng expressed his understanding, paid the money to pack up the ginseng, and turned around Shen Huazhuo was still standing in front of the counter.
It was the first time she had come into contact with so much silver, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Why is it not a silver ticket?" "How can you get so much silver?
"What is a silver ticket?" Wang Yongcheng was confused.
Shen Huazhuo blinked his eyes and suddenly realized that the Xuanyuan Dynasty had no silver tickets in circulation at all.
I was secretly sad in my heart: she had crossed over to a backward dynasty, but this was a good opportunity.
Fortunately, the silver is not too heavy, it only adds up to more than a catty, but with the last robbery, he felt very insecure, Shen Huazhuo casually put it into the space, and only left a dozen taels of silver on his body for backup.
"Sister-in-law, there is a cloth village there." Yun Xiaomei rarely comes to the town, and she wants to go shopping when she sees something new.
"Ah, okay, buy." Shen Huazhuo's eyes dodged and looked around, for fear of encountering another robbery.
followed Yun Xiaomei to buy several kinds of cloth in a daze, and returned home in fear all the way, before she was relieved.
Although the money given to the Shen family was done in one day, it couldn't be sent over so quickly.
After dinner, it was already dark, but Yunbeard, who had entered the mountain, had not yet returned.
"It shouldn't be, usually the eldest brother goes into the mountains, whether he can hunt or not, he will come back as soon as it gets dark." Yun Xiaoshu put down the book and went to the gate of the courtyard to look.
Shen Huazhuo could have treated it calmly, but he was soon infected by the anxious emotions of the Yun family, and he also began to worry.
"Why don't we go and find it?" It's useless to be in a hurry.
"No...... It's fine in the mountains during the day, but it's dangerous at night. Yun Chengzhong gritted his teeth and refused, and at the same time said that no one was allowed to go out to find it.
When it was dark in the courtyard, Shen Huazhuo opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent blankly.
After marrying Cloudbeard, she has never lost sleep, and now she ......
Without him by her side, she couldn't sleep, got up in her cloak, and looked out the window.
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is round like a jade plate, sprinkling bright moonlight on the eaves of the corridor.
The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows.
As soon as she popped out of her head, her heart twitched.
Under the shadow of the moon, a dark shadow opened the door lightly and walked out of the courtyard towards the back mountain.
Shen Huazhuo wanted to go with her, but the figure was so fast that it disappeared in a few jumps, so much so that she thought it might be her eyes dazzled and she saw it wrong.
I woke up from a night's sleep, and I was so tired that I fell asleep until the fourth watch.
At dawn she rolled over and sat up, looking eagerly at the side of the bed.
There was no cloud beard, and even the silk scarf she deliberately put before going to bed was still spread on it, so smooth that there was no trace of wrinkles.
After a morning, Yun Xiaomei looked at the road behind the mountain, and did not see Yun Huzi returning.
Shen Huazhuo gritted his teeth, took a few made white-flour steamed buns from the kitchen and hid them in the back basket, and sneaked out while Yun Chengzhong was not at home.
But as soon as he entered the back mountain, he was seen by Yun Xiaoshu.
"Sister-in-law, why are you going?"
"I'm looking for your eldest brother."
"But my father ......" When Yun Xiaoshu's eyes were not good, his temperament was still crisp, and he could see that his temperament was more lively, and he had more worries.
"Dad said that he was not allowed to go at night, but he didn't say that he was not allowed to go during the day." Shen Huazhuo was articulate, and quickly made him faint, and coaxed him back to let Yun Xiaomei make lunch, and slipped away alone.
Yun Xiaoshu was really stupid and obediently went back.
Shen Huazhuo turned around a long time, and he didn't see a single figure, the surroundings were vast, verdant and green, and there was a sound of small animals squirming in the weeds.
Her mind was tight, she came in impulsively at first, but now that the mountain wind was blowing, she regretted it a little as soon as her head was sober.
It's just that the road ahead is worried, and the road when I come can't see the edge at a glance, so I gritted my teeth and simply looked for it again, and I couldn't come in vain.
Follow the place where you have been with Cloudbeard before, follow the subtle traces to find a way, and unconsciously go deeper and deeper.
It was getting dark.
A gust of wind passed, everything was noisy, Shen Huazhuo was so depressed that he shouted: "Yun Lang ......" The voice spread far and wide, and an echo came back halfway.
She hugged her elbows and searched several traps in a row, all of which were empty, and she didn't know if there was no prey, or if he had taken them.
Looking at the old ginkgo tree in front of her, this was already the last trap, she went up to take a look with the intention of trying it, and there was a movement in the weeds, and there seemed to be something hidden inside......
