Pearl went back to embroidering, and not long after, Mingqian came in, and Pearl raised her head and asked him, "Where did you go?" ”

"Show the third brother his homework."

"Oh."

Mingqian wouldn't tell Pearl that his parents had just called him and asked her to put the things that his mother had brought back to the public school. Mingqian knew that Pearl had an idea about this matter, and he would not listen to him at all. Then he should not get in the way here!

After another hour, Pearl put down her needle and thread and went to the kitchen. Although I don't want to cheapen their family, I can't go too far and let people pick out what is wrong.

Blanch the pork ribs in the pot, then boil them over high heat, lower the ribs, cover the pot, Shen came in, Pearl asked her to help watch the fire, and she went back to embroider first, and came back later. Shen smiled and agreed, such a big pot of pork ribs must be for everyone to eat, what is she not happy about.

After another hour, it was only two hours, and the pearl came, and today's pearl was wearing a rose-red cloth skirt, a crimson belt, the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with patterns, and the bottom of the skirt was also embroidered with pink peach blossoms, which was very beautiful. Coming to the kitchen again, Pearl took a basin, returned to his room, filled five bowls of rice, and Shen lit another pot with a very eye-catching eye.

There was a big pot of pork ribs and kelp soup on the table, and a big pot full of rice, and the whole family was very happy, only Wang said,

"Isn't it a small stove? Why are you coming to eat our food again? ”

"Aren't I giving you a small stove? If the mother can't get used to it, the daughter-in-law will cook something else for you. ”

Old Man Ming opened his mouth and said, "Sit down to eat, it smells very good!" It's the craftsmanship of the second family! You can't go wrong. ”

Feng Shi also agreed, "Look at the stewed meat and deboning, you can definitely bite it, old man, taste it." ”

Pearl smiled and said, "Grandparents eat more, this dish is very replenishing." ”

In half a month, the pearl embroidery was completed in half, and twenty small embroidery drawings were drawn. And Mingqian, like crazy, went to bed late and got up early, and copied twenty books. Pearl also persuaded, but Ming Qian was very persistent, and sometimes he couldn't hold it back, so he scoured Pearl first, and then continued to get up and copy the book. In ten days, Mingqian is leaving, and Pearl plans to sell the embroidery picture. The third Mingde also went to the school in the county, and it was the pearl that gave Mingde five taels of silver, completely without the hands of the Wang family. He also gave Mingde two taels of silver pocket money, and the four treasures of the study also gave a set. The clothes were also new, and Mingde wore a warm cotton jacket and walked away, and the package also brought a change of robes and cotton pants, as well as two sets of underwear. There's also a bag of sweets in there! It was my sister-in-law who brought it home.

Hearing that Ming Qian was going to take his daughter-in-law to Zhuozhou, Wang asked two people,

"What are you doing in the state?"

Without waiting for Ming Qian to answer, Pearl said, "I still have some embroidery work in my hands, and I will sell it in the city." My husband accompanied me. ”

"How much embroidery do you have?"

Pearl took out a dozen handkerchiefs from the package, as well as a dozen purses. In fact, they were all sent by the girls of the Hou Mansion, and of course the pearl would not tell the truth to the Wang family.

"How much can you sell for this point?"

Ming Qian said, "I still have to buy books." Some of the books I borrowed from my friends should also be returned. ”

Seeing that his son was carrying a bookcase behind him, Wang didn't say anything, and said, "Second daughter-in-law, you know the rules of our family." All the money earned has to be handed over. Okay, I won't say more, go early and come back early. ”

Pearl said, "I can't come back today, I have to wait for tomorrow." ”

Wang's face was cold, "Got it." Hurry up! ”

hired the Zhu family's ox cart to Zhuozhou, and Pearl was embarrassed to always trouble people, so she gave the Zhu family 50 yuan. The people of the Zhu family were very happy and did not say anything else.

Along the way, Pearl asked many about the Egret Academy. Pearl wanted her second brother to study there, and I heard that the odds of passing the examination in the Egret Academy were quite large, and it cost twenty taels of silver every year, so it was no wonder that after paying for a year, the Wang family couldn't afford it. The distance is farther, Pearl sang to Ming Qian, singing a revised version of "Slender Man's Love", when Pearl sang 'Let you kiss enough', Ming Qian looked back at Pearl and said,

"If you don't want me to drag you out into the field right now, shut up."

Pearl closed her mouth tightly, holding back her laughter so that her body couldn't stop shaking, and later began to make jokes to Ming Qian, which made Ming Qian laugh. Pearl looked at the dazzling Mingqian who was smiling, and said, "What does the eldest husband want in his life?" ”

"Naturally, it's for fame." Ming Qian replied,

Pearl smiled and said, "What about the cheesy answer?" ”

Ming Qian thought about it, what else could there be, beauties and gold and silver! I simply don't speak. Pearl looked at the distant scenery and said, "Sword, good horse, beautiful woman." Then he looked at Ming Qian again, glanced at him from head to toe, and said, "You! So weak, don't think about the sword and the good horse. You'll be a 'beauty' too. ”

"Joke!" Very unconvinced, Pearl just smiled when she looked at it, which made Ming Qian ashamed and annoyed, and decided that after returning to the academy, he must learn kung fu and learn to ride and shoot.

I arrived in Zhuozhou at about three o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them first arrived at the largest bookstore in the city, which was opposite the state school. The state school has already opened, and when I entered the store, Pearl found many students.

Pearl found the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have a copy here?" ”

"It's collected, but I don't know what kind of book it is?"

"It is a compilation of classic articles that Jiangnan has tried in recent years." After speaking, he stretched out his hand with Mingqian and asked him to take out a book, and the shopkeeper was just about to take it, but he was snatched by a scholar in a cyan silk robe next to him.

"Really?" As he spoke, he began to look over, "Oh, this is!" This lady, how much is your manuscript? ”

"Ten taels of silver."

When the man heard this, he threw down a silver ingot of ten taels and left. The shopkeeper didn't see it well, and hurriedly said, "Little lady, this son, let's talk inside." ”

Pearl gave Ming Qian a look and told him to follow.

The shopkeeper led the person to the inner room and said straight to the point, "Little lady, eight taels of silver a piece, you can sell it to me!" ”

Pearl had the intention to raise the price, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, my father-in-law went to the south to get it hard, and I copied it for so long, and I used good rice paper, and my father-in-law's words are also good, we think ten taels are okay, but you have also seen in the store, as long as you are a student, there is nothing you don't want." Ten taels of silver, your price is a little low. ”

"Little lady, you just sold it to someone else, it's ten taels! Why do you have to raise the price when you come to me? ”

"Shopkeeper, you've seen it, this book is definitely not going to sell. Besides, if you have a book, you can find someone to copy it again, so how much can the store earn? Besides, if I really sold you twelve taels, would you also sell twelve taels? ”
