Four years later

"Miss Lin, are you here to buy vegetables?"

At the market, a tall girl in a green skirt carried a bamboo basket and picked a few potatoes from a vegetable vendor and said, "Boss, how do you sell these potatoes?" ”

"Five cents a pound of silver."

"Why is the price going up again?"

The vegetable seller said with a bitter face: "Recently, the tax collection has been getting higher and higher, if we don't raise the price, we can lose money!" ”

Changge frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't know what Bai Yu was doing recently, he kept revising the tax, and it was higher and higher every time, and some people who did small business couldn't do it directly.

In this regard, the imperial court claimed to the outside world that it was for the imperial court to raise troops and increase the number of troops.

Ordinary people don't know about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but Changge knows that such a large-scale tax change is afraid that the treasury is in urgent need of silver, as for the reason, disaster relief? War? If the imperial court deliberately concealed this, the people would not know, not to mention that this place is 108,000 miles away from Beijing, and the news may not come over.

But it has nothing to do with Changge, at least she doesn't have to worry about paying taxes, in the spirit of being kind to others, Changge bought a lot of vegetables from the vegetable seller.

The vegetable seller couldn't close his mouth happily, and chatted with Changge: "Miss Lin is really beautiful and kind, alas, Miss Lin, do you have a sweetheart?" ”

Changge was a little helpless when he heard this: "Not yet." She could almost guess what the vendor was going to say next, and as she expected, the vendor said, "I have a nephew who has not married this year, and his family is good, and he looks like a talent......

Before the man finished speaking, he was interrupted by another vendor: "Okay, who doesn't know that your nephew is a stammer, Miss Lin, I have a little uncle who is a scholar, and it is estimated that he will be able to pass the Xiucai exam this year, you see ......"

"Really, really don't need it."

"That's okay, by the way, Miss Lin, your brother Chang'an hasn't married yet, and I still have a niece......"

Long Song: "......"

Changge is a little helpless, in recent years, as she and Chang'an have done better and better business in the town, she can be regarded as a little famous, because she has never married, she has become a famous "leftover girl" in the town, and Chang'an has also grown into a well-informed and handsome young man, or a langzhong, there are many girls in the town who love him, so people who are familiar with her are keen to tell her and Chang'an matchmaker, which makes Changge a real headache.

After rejecting the vegetable seller's kindness, Changge fled back home.

Since Lin Yanchen left four years ago, Changge has lived with Li Chunhua in Chang'an, after all, it is better for a family to live together than for her to live alone in a household, and she can save a lot of money.

The only bad thing is that Li Chunhua was heartbroken about her marriage, she just escaped from the vegetable seller, and when she returned home, she was nagged by Li Chunhua: "How can someone who is eighteen years old and not talk about her mother-in-law's?" This is a matter of being poked in the back, hey, Ah Cha, you just listen to your mother, the town sons that your mother helped you contact, how many times do you go to see each other? ”

Changge didn't know how many times he threw his eyes for help like Chang'an, and cold sweat slipped down Chang'an's forehead, and he used a killer weapon.

"Mother, it's not that you don't know that your sister has been married, and now you probably can't forget your ex-brother-in-law, so don't force her."

When Li Chunhua heard this, she immediately shut up, for fear of touching Changge's sadness.

After dinner, Changge and Chang'an were lying on a deck chair in the courtyard to cool off, and Chang'an said, "Sister, you really can't forget your brother-in-law, right?" ”

Changge said with a smile: "How can a big living person forget it, but it's not the kind you think, I just don't want to find a man to marry." But you, if you have the time to worry about me, when will you marry a daughter-in-law? There are a lot of girls in the town who are thinking about you. ”

When Chang'an heard this, Jun's face turned red: "I don't want to marry a woman casually......"

Changge smiled, the two of them were no longer talking, Changge looked at the full moon in the sky, and unconsciously appeared in his heart the cold and handsome face of the young man, the blushing appearance of being teased by her, or the appearance of calling her a lady seriously, all kinds of things, without exception, attractive. I have to admit that this kid is rare for her to be so impressed in these two lifetimes.

Now he should call others a lady, and I don't know how Lin Yanchen is doing in Beijing, if he is a little stronger, it is estimated that the child can run off the ground......

Thinking wildly, Changge fell asleep groggily, at this time it was June, there was some noisy cicadas in his ears, and the evening breeze brought a rare coolness. Chang'an, who was on the side, saw that Changge was asleep, so he didn't bother, and took a thin shirt to put on her.

Changge slept in a daze, and dreamed in a trance that a few years ago, he drank with Lin Yanchen in the pharmacy in Linjiazhuang, and after he drank too much, he also put his clothes on her body with such a pair of gentle hands.

……

The next day, while Changge was entertaining guests in the gouache shop, a group of ladies and wives were again discussing the town's chores.

"Miss Lin, did you hear about it, yesterday your eldest brother Lin Changgong went to Yimengyuan*, and Miss Meng took someone to catch the adulterer, guess what happened?"

"How?"

"Those servants in the county order mansion are now listening to their uncle, and none of them dare to make a move, so Meng Le was slapped twice by Lin Changgong instead!"

After hearing this, Changge smiled cooperatively, and there was no turmoil in his heart.

In the past few years, the county commander has been seriously ill, and his eldest son is a useless man, and he has a crippled leg in a fight with someone and becomes a cripple.

Lin Changgong has a lot of interest, I don't know how to take this opportunity to make a name for himself in the house, and now he has become an unprovoked master, and when the old county order goes, maybe the family property is his son-in-law.

Changge didn't care much about these things, and Ben had nothing to do with her. After casually coping with a few words, he led the topic to rouge gouache.

A lady said: "Changge girl, your thing is good, but the gouache I want, why is it always out of stock recently?" ”

"I'm sorry, the delivery person said that it is out of stock for the time being, something may have happened, please wait for a few days, let me help you ask."

Changge smiled and was about to recommend something else, when Zhao Wenshu suddenly came, Changge stepped forward to greet him: "Brother Zhao, I was about to ask about the recent out-of-stock, you came by coincidence, how has your sister-in-law been recently?" ”

Although Zhao Wenshu was interested in Changge a few years ago, no matter how he showed goodwill, Changge did not respond, so he became a relative two years ago, and now the husband and wife are harmonious, and Changge has become close friends.

Zhao Wenshu seemed to have something on his mind, and said with an unkind face: "Changge, there is a problem with the supply." ”

"What?"

"There are big households of rouge gouache in Beijing, and it seems that they are ready to monopolize sales, and the total purchase office is cut off by them, and the quantity of supply to our small places in the future is limited, and those small businesses can barely be supplied, like Lin Qingge, I am afraid that it will be out of stock from time to time."

Changge couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Isn't there a law that prohibits merchants from monopolizing?" ”

Zhao Wenshu said: "There must be someone behind the big family, my father asked me to go to Beijing to discuss with the supplier, I want to take you along." ”

Changge understood what he meant, after all, this was about his own business, and it was still necessary to make a trip!

Changge said: "I know, I will go to Beijing with you." ”
