Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Rotten Peach Blossoms Strike
readx;? And the shopkeeper Liu's rituals are two big live chickens, more than ten catties of pork belly, and snacks. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the most unexpected thing for Zishu is that there are six high-quality cotton cloths, each cloth is enough to make a dress, and the color of each cloth is different, as if it was specially selected for Ziluo and her brothers and sisters.
There are two cloths in begonia color, which are estimated to be picked for Ziwei and Zitao, and one is tender yellow, which is estimated to be for Ziluo. The other two are brown and one is blue, probably for Zishu, Zixuan and Xiaoliu. It can be seen that the other party is very careful when preparing gifts.
Ziwei decided that in the next time, she would do a good job of making everyone's clothes.
As soon as Dong Huang returned home, Dong Mei couldn't wait to ask, "Mother, how is the inquiry?"
"Look at your urgency, girls still have to hold a little. It's hard for Dong Huang to remember this, but she doesn't know what they did today, but it has nothing to do with being reserved.
"I think this young master of the Liu family and Sister Mei of our family are simply a godsend. What do you think I inquired about? This young master of the Liu family is indeed the son of the shopkeeper of Liuxianglou, and he is only 14 years old this year. Dong Huang said excitedly to Dong Mei and the others.
"That's great! it, let's settle this matter quickly. Dong Erlang was also very happy when he heard it.
"Then will he dislike me for being older than him?" Dong Mei was mixed after hearing this. I am happy that the other party is so good, but I am worried that the other party is younger than her, although there are now examples of women being older than men, but there are not many such examples after all.
"What are you afraid of. The woman is older to take care of people. And it's only a matter of a few months. In my opinion, we can go to their store and have a look at each other, and then act according to the situation. Next time I catch the market, I will go to Lishang Fang to make you two new dresses, and then go to make two bracelets and a hairpin, to ensure that the young master of the Liu family can't walk when he sees you, and this family affair will not be done. Dong Huang said confidently.
Dong Erlang heard that he had to buy so many things, wouldn't it cost a lot of silver. So he said painfully: "How much money does this cost?" It's not enough to make two clothes. β
"Short-sighted, if you want this family affair to be done, the benefits will be less yours, and then we won't say anything else, that is, we won't have to give money to eat in Liuxianglou in the future." Dong Huang said.
Dong Erlang thought to himself, in the future, he and his classmates will not have to give money to Liuxianglou for dinner or anything, and if there is no money, he can ask his son-in-law to spend it, and it is beautiful to think about it.
Although Dong Mei didn't like her father and mother to calculate her future in-laws so quickly, she also knew that she couldn't do it herself without their help now, so she was smart and didn't squeak.
Dong Mei looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally gave her the market on the fifth day of the lunar month. In the past ten days, Dong Mei can be regarded as having suffered a lot, if it wasn't for Dong Huang's obstruction, she would have gone to the town to see her "sweetheart", how could she wait until now. Thinking of Liu Hong's personable appearance, she couldn't help blushing.
However, Dong Huang said that they would not come to the town until the lunar month, so that they would have a reason to buy New Year's goods, so that they would not arouse suspicion when they went to the town to see each other. That's how she waited.
"Iron Daddy, you slow down in a while, don't splash the mud and snow on me and Sister Mei. The material of the clothes on us is very expensive. Dong Huang and Dong Mei got into Uncle Chen's ox cart and said back.
In the month of Wax, because Uncle Chen's family is one of the few families in the village with ox carts, so every year in the month of Wax, when many villagers in the village go to the town to prepare New Year's goods, their family will drive the ox cart to take the people in the village to the town to buy New Year's goods, and one person will collect a penny, so as to earn a few dollars for the New Year. On this day, it happened to be a market, and Aunt Chen and her eldest daughter Peach Blossom also went to the town together.
Aunt Chen was not happy when she heard Dong Huang say this: "What did Brother Yu say, if you hurry slowly, you won't be able to get to the town after dark, we are all in a hurry to buy New Year's goods in the town, how can we hurry slowly, if you are so expensive, just take a carriage." β
Dong Huang knew that Aunt Chen and her had never dealt with her very well, and she knew that the people in the car were also in a hurry, and now she was not good at causing public anger, so she had to laugh and say: "Tie Dan Niang said that I laughed, I just told me to be careful in the car for a while, not to hurry slowly." β
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, Aunt Chen was embarrassed to continue to say anything when she heard her say this, so she snorted and stopped paying attention to Dong Huang's family, and turned her head to talk to Bolt Niang about what New Year's goods to buy in the town for a while.
Dong Mei couldn't help but be annoyed when she saw Aunt Chen choking with her mother like this, thinking that when she became the young lady of Liuxianglou, would they dare to show their faces to this group of village women. In this way, she has strengthened her determination to marry Liu Hong.
When the ox cart was up, the women in the cart also chatted hotly.
"Brother Yu, the clothes on your body are so beautiful, it cost a lot of silver! Look, Sister Mei is even dressed like a fairy in a painting. Aunt Pan saw that Dong Huang's mother and daughter were dressed very well, so she said enviously, of course, there was also the meaning of lifting Dong Huang's family. First, she hated Aunt Chen for being wrong with her last time because of selling persimmons, and second, because Dong Huang's husband and son were both scholars, and she also had the intention of pleasing them.
Don't say it, how can a young girl be ugly, Dong Mei is good-looking, plus today's special dress, it can be regarded as a small jasper. If she wasn't dressed so brightly, the powder on her face wasn't so thick.
In other words, Dong Mei is wearing a rose-red dress today, with several shiny silver hairpins on her head and two bracelets on her hands. Her outfit overshadowed several girls of the same age in the car. Just now, when she and Dong Huang got in the car, they had already attracted a lot of attention.
Dong Huang saw that someone finally recognized the goods, so he couldn't help but show off: "That is, our clothes are made in Lishang Fang, and we can't make such beautiful clothes anywhere else." β
"That's a lot of money, isn't it?" Aunt Pan said enviously when she heard this.
"That is, it didn't cost a lot of silver, and a dress cost more than half a taelγγγγγγ β
Soon arrived in the town in Dong Huang's show-off, and after everyone parted ways, Dong Huang took Dong Mei to pretend to buy some things, and they went straight to Liuxiang Building.
When I arrived at Liuxiang Building, Liu Hong was making an abacus in front of the counter. Dong Mei and Dong Huang have been staring at Liu Hong since they sat down, and Xiao Li, who ran the hall with those explicit eyes, also found that something was wrong. So, Xiao Li came over and asked Dong Huang and them, "What do you want to eat?"
Dong Huang saw that his daughter was still staring at Liu Hong, and he felt that it was inappropriate, so he kicked Dong Mei in the audience. Only then did Dong Mei react.
"Ask for a few of your signature dishes, and two more white rice. Dong Huang said.
"Okay, our signature dishes here are roast duck, white-cut chicken, boiled fish, braised porkγγγγγγγ Xiao Li reported several big dishes at once.
Dong Huang felt that her flesh hurt, but she came to see each other today, and she didn't want her future son-in-law to think that they were poor, so she had no choice but to rush to the head and say, "Then let's do it." β
Xiao Li felt so strange, there was still half an hour before it was time to eat, why did they order so many dishes. He originally intended to remind them, but after Dong Huang finished speaking, he urged him to serve the food, he saw that Dong Huang and the others were brightly dressed, not like people with no money, and he was afraid that reminding them would make them misunderstand that he looked down on them, so he didn't remind them.
If Dong Huang knew Xiao Li's mental activity, he didn't know what he would vomit into. If Xiao Li had reminded her just now, she would definitely have gotten off the donkey.
When the meals were ready, Dong Huang's mother and daughter saw this table full of dishes, and their psychological activities were very rich. They feel that there are so many delicious dishes that they should eat to their heart's content, but they feel that they need to maintain the image of a lady, and they dare not eat too much, and the rest of the dishes cannot be taken home, which is really tormenting!
Liu Hong saw that someone came to eat lunch so early, and the two of them ordered a table of dishes, and he couldn't help but look at it curiously.
Dong Mei couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Liu Hong look at it, her face was flushed, thinking that Young Master Liu had finally discovered her beauty, and couldn't help but secretly tidy up her dress and headdress.
However, she soon fell from heaven to hell, as she found that Liu Hong's gaze was quickly taken away. This discouraged her.
Until they finished eating, Liu Hong's eyes never looked at him again. After Dong Huang paid the money painfully, Dong Huang's mind was racing, she pretended to have a headache, hugged her head and said to Dong Mei: "Sister Mei, my mother suddenly has a headache. As he spoke, he pretended to be dizzy and gave Dong Mei a look.
Dong Mei also quickly understood, so she said anxiously: "Then what should I do?
Dong Mei turned to Liu Hong in front of the counter pitifully and said, "Childe, save my mother! β
At this time, many people in the store had already noticed this, and everyone had taken a look. Liu Hong and Xiao Li also ran over.
"Xiao Li, I'll look at the store first, you hurry up and send this lady and this girl to the hospital. β
Liu Hong's reaction was beyond Dong Mei's expectations, so she said anxiously: "Childe, won't you send us to the hospital?"
"It's good to have Xiao Li go, he is more familiar with the way to the hospital than I do. Quick, Xiao Li, don't delay!" Liu Hong urged.
Although Dong Mei was unwilling to see it, she couldn't find any reason to let Liu Hong accompany her. So, although Dong Mei's mother and daughter were unwilling, they were also sent to the hospital by Xiao Li.
"Brother Li, my mother has woken up, and the doctor said that she is fine. I'll go back with you and thank your young master. Dong Mei walked out of the inner room of the medical hall and said to Xiao Li without giving up.
