042 Meat delivery
When the shopkeeper saw that he finally came out with a manager, he hurriedly replied: "Someone bought this coffin and sent it here." ”
"Who bought it? No one in my family buys a coffin! ”
"How is it possible, the money has been paid!" The shopkeeper also wondered, the silver was indeed received, it would not be fake! Could it be that I am mistaken? He asked again: "May I ask if this is Lu Shu's house?" ”
"Yes!" Lu Wenping nodded.
"That's right, this coffin is for Lu Hua's." The shopkeeper handed the note in his hand to Lu Wenping, "This is the address written by the little brother who bought the coffin." ”
Lu Wenping took it and saw that what was written on the note was really his own address, and it also stated that the coffin was for Hua Ronghua, what was going on?
At this moment, I only heard someone in the east courtyard shouting, "This is the compensation given by my master to Lu Hua's family!" ”
Mo An listened to the chaotic movement in the West Courtyard, and his heart was happy, let you go against the master, sooner or later, you will not die well! If only the master could see this.
Thinking that the master was angry when he came out of the county government, and finally went to Master Li's Zhuangzi to run a horse without taking himself, Mo An was depressed for a while, he really wanted to go, who can't buy this coffin! Therefore, he made another note to Hua Ronghua in his heart.
West Courtyard.
Everyone heard Mo An's words, the shopkeeper was curious, and Mrs. Lu felt that her anger was smoothed out, it turned out that she was not cursing herself! The neighbors at the door were full of gossip, and Lu Wenping and others all looked at Hua Ronghua, sympathetic and smiling.
The calmest of them all was Hua Ronghua, she walked to the side of the coffin, knocked on her fingers, listened to the voice of Tuk Tuk, and naturally said, "It's pretty good." ”
The shopkeeper straightened his waist and pole on the side, "Of course, this is made of high-quality nanmu, and the best carpenter master made it for three months." ”
"Then this has to sell for a lot of money, right?" Hua Ronghua asked casually.
"Of course! It's because it sold for fifteen taels of silver, and it hasn't been sold for more than two years, but the little brother who came today bought it without even telling the price. ”
"Shopkeeper, let's make a deal!" Hua Ronghua's eyes lit up.
"You shameless ......" Mrs. Lu saw Hua Ronghua talking and laughing with the shopkeeper, she was angry, and she wanted to scold when she opened her mouth.
"Mother!" Lu Wenping stepped forward to stop his mother and shook his head at her slightly.
The shopkeeper looked at Lu Wenping behind him, wanting to ask the head of the family for advice.
Seeing this, Hua Ronghua said directly: "You don't have to ask my father-in-law, since this coffin is for me, the right to dispose of it is mine." ”
Lu Wenping opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say, maybe Hua didn't need himself at all.
Seeing that Lu Wenping hadn't spoken, the shopkeeper turned his head and asked Hua Ronghua again, "What deal?" ”
"Your coffin sells for fifteen taels, and now I will sell it to you for ten taels of silver!"
Ho!
The people inside and outside the courtyard all gasped, and in a blink of an eye, they made ten taels of silver in vain! All kinds of envious and jealous eyes were focused on Hua Ronghua's body.
The shopkeeper was also stunned, but he didn't expect such a little lady who lived in the inner house to even know the way of business, but she was not a vegetarian, so she smiled and said: "This lady, this coffin is not worth ten taels now." ”
"Why isn't it worth ten taels? Just now you said you still sell fifteen taels? Mrs. Lu was in a daze when she heard that Hua was going to sell the coffin for ten taels of silver, and when she saw that the shopkeeper said that it was not worth ten taels, she immediately became anxious.
"But the lid of this coffin was chopped by the old lady with a knife! You can't sell it when you take it back, and you have to find a carpenter to repair it, and it costs a lot of money! If it is not repaired well, my coffin will be wasted! The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.
"Don't talk so much, you only say how much silver you can get back?" Hua Ronghua said impatiently.
"Three or two!" The shopkeeper has three fingers.
Hua Ronghua shook his head, "Three taels is too little, eight taels, if it's less, I might as well keep it for myself!" ”
"Five taels." The shopkeeper's gritted teeth increased the price.
"The shopkeeper also saw it, the old lady cut that knife is not good at all, it is a knife mark if she dies, and you may be able to cover it by looking for a carpenter to carve some patterns, and then you will sell it for more than twenty taels!"
"Seven taels, I won't take any more." The shopkeeper looks like a broken axe.
"Okay, give me the silver, and you can take the coffin away!"
Hua Ronghua accepted seven taels of silver, and sent the shopkeeper and his party out with a smile, and saw the neighbors standing in the alley greeting with a smile, "Where are the children and grandchildren of Zhao Niang?" Today I made money, I will buy meat stew in a while, and I will eat it when the time comes! ”
The two ladies smiled a little uncomfortably, but they didn't answer her words, Hua Ronghua turned around and went back to the courtyard, and found that everyone was standing in the courtyard, looking at her with eyes shining.
"Aunt He, go buy meat and come back, well, just buy half a pig, every meal saved is not enjoyable with a little meat." Hua Ronghua directly picked up a small piece of silver and threw it to Aunt He.
Aunt He responded happily, carried the bamboo basket and walked out.
"As soon as you have a little money, you will eat and drink, how much is enough for you to lose? Bring me the money for safekeeping. Mrs. Lu felt that those silver hooks her heart was itching.
Hua Ronghua directly took a piece of silver weighing about two taels and handed it to Mrs. Lu, "I should have divided half of you, who asked you to cut down the coffin, or you can sell more silver!" ”
Mrs. Lu also regretted that she had snatched two taels of silver, her knife was too valuable, and she knew that she would not cut it.
Aunt He bought the meat and came back, washed and chopped the pot, Hua Ronghua still wanted to follow the pot, but found that almost all the work was rushed by the daughter of the three pillars.
"Looks like you work a lot at home!" Hua Ronghua leaned on the kitchen door frame and talked to her when she had nothing to do.
Youfu was very shy, and she whispered back: "Yes, I always help my mother with work at home." ”
Her whisper is different from Lu Yuanniang's, Youfu is shy and embarrassed, but Lu Yuanniang has little communication with others, and she doesn't know how to speak.
"It's very good, eat more meat in a while!" Hua Ronghua didn't know how to chat with her, and finally simply went back to the house to sleep.
By the end of the afternoon, the meat in the pot was already very rotten, so Hua Ronghua asked Aunt He to prepare three bowls, which were filled with half lean meat and half fat meat and then sent them to nearby neighbors.
Putting the bowl in a bamboo basket, Aunt He carried it behind Hua Ronghua, and the first thing she knocked on was the door of Zhao Niangzi's house opposite.
"Lu Niangzi?!" Zhao Niangzi was a little surprised, and then asked with an unnatural smile: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I have boiled meat at home, so I came to bring you a bowl to taste." Hua Ronghua took the bowl from Aunt He's hand with a smile and handed it over.
"This, no need!" Zhao Niangzi's men subconsciously hid behind her, and then said with a smile: "A pound of meat is a lot of money!" If you give it to me secretly, I'm afraid that there won't be enough food at home, so take it back! ”
"There is still a bowl of meat at home, and you still push it around, don't you look down on me?" Hua Ronghua pretended to be dissatisfied and handed the bowl to her.
Zhao Niangzi was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and couldn't help laughing, "This, that's okay." I'll bring you a bowl when I get back. ”
Zhou Niangzi already had a wooden face, so she couldn't see anything awkward, but she didn't say to let Hua Ronghua go in and sit down.
Sun Niangzi was the most direct, took a step back directly, and asked reflexively: "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'll send you meat, Zhou Niangzi and Zhao Niangzi's family have sent it, so I'll send you." Hua Ronghua handed the bowl over directly.
"Huh? They all took it? Sun Niangzi was a little unconvinced.
"You'll find out when you go and see it later."
"Well, well." Sun Niangzi took the bowl of meat, and asked carefully, "That, are you okay?" ”
Hua Ronghua was stunned, "What's the matter with me?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, hehe!" Sun Niangzi smiled awkwardly.
On the way back to Lu's house, Aunt He whispered dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with these ladies today?" The lady went to give them meat to eat, and they didn't say thank you, just forget it, one by one as if the lady was embarrassing them. ”
Hua Ronghua pursed his lips and was happy, isn't it embarrassing! They probably heard about last night, right? How can you still associate with a 'bad woman' like yourself? Didn't you look at it, even the daughter-in-law of Sanzhu recognized and was scolded by Mrs. Lu, didn't she come to her side? Aunt He was not there last night, and the news she heard this morning was not complete, otherwise I am afraid that she will also be embarrassed, right?
Seeing Hua Ronghua return to his yard, Sun Niangzi came out of the door and looked to the east, but saw that Zhao Niangzi and Zhou Niangzi were also looking at Lu's house, and hurriedly trotted over.
"Hey, you have received all the meat she sent? Didn't you say you couldn't have any more contact with her? Sun Niangzi stared directly at Zhao Niangzi and asked.
Zhou Niangzi looked at Zhao Niangzi, she also heard that Zhao Niangzi accepted it.
Zhao Niangzi was a little helpless, "Then you can't tear your face directly, right?" ”
The other two also sighed, and Sun Niangzi said angrily: "She is really thick-skinned, she even came out to walk around when something like that happened, I heard that she was hugging the adulterer and was doing that!" As a result, he was blocked by his mother-in-law and relatives, and he wanted to kill people, if it weren't for these neighbors, maybe the whole family would have been killed. ”
"Shut up!" Zhao Niangzi glanced at Sun Niangzi, "Didn't your man tell you that you can't talk nonsense about this?" ”
"Oh." Sun Niangzi was a little unhappy, and muttered: "I really don't understand, it's obvious that she is shameless to seduce people, why don't you let us say it?" It's a shame to live in an alley with such a person! There is also Lu Wenwen, how to wear a green hat and admit it! ”
Zhao Niangzi hated iron and steel, and nodded Sun Niangzi's braincase, "You don't look at who others seduced!" Or can the scribe Lu suffer this dumb loss? ”
Sun Niangzi suddenly realized, "No wonder she just said seriously, 'What is the matter with me'" Sun Niangzi learned Hua Ronghua's tone just now, and said disdainfully: "It's really a shame for our woman's face!" ”
"But didn't the Gongxi guards send the coffin to the woman just now?" Zhou Niangzi suddenly asked: "This means that she is angry, right?" After all, sending a coffin is an unfortunate thing. ”
"I don't know." Zhao Niangzi shook her head, "Anyway, let's just provoke her less." ”
"Shall we have anything to do with her? Do you want to take this meat? Sun Niangzi asked.
Zhao Niangzi pondered for a while, "Wait for the man to come back and ask his own man!" ”
