He Zhutou finally spent a hundred taels to buy a yarn lamp that cost less than half a tael.

After a while, Xiao Er came upstairs and handed over ninety taels of silver to Su Xiaoman.

Su Xiaoman was in a bit of a stupid mood.

Xiangling put the silver in front of Su Xiaoman, and said with a smile: "Aren't you happy to make a net profit of ninety taels of silver?" ”

Su Xiaoman was still pouting.

Xiangling smiled: "Don't be angry, the yarn lamp will be in my brother's hands in a while, if you want it, go to my brother, you will definitely not be taken away by the wild dog surnamed He." ”

Su Xiaoman looked up suspiciously, not understanding what Xiangling's words meant.

Xiangling shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's the literal meaning." My brother took out all the money to buy your yarn lamp, but he met Jia Xiaoliu, and he told us that the purpose of the quartermaster battalion is to never spend a penny on what can be done without spending money. So, that's it for now. ”

Su Xiaoman was still confused, and Su Mu suddenly realized: "Captain Jia won't, won't have the idea of robbing halfway, right?" ”

Su Mu suddenly felt a little sympathetic to He Zhutou, he had that kind of disease inexplicably, and he finally recovered a little, and now he was going to be robbed again. A deputy catcher who once caught a thief was robbed, and he was ashamed of himself.

Su Xiaoman's mouth opened wide in surprise.

The corners of Yang Qingyue's mouth rose, she was not ashamed of her subordinates' "robbery" behavior, but proud, look, how thoroughly she implemented the purpose of her business.

Su Xiaoman stood up in surprise and saluted Yang Qingyue: "Thank you Yang for your help." ”

Yang Qingyue said disappreciably: "It wasn't my order, so you don't have to thank me." “

Su Xiaoman had no choice but to solemnly salute Xiangling again.

Xiangling hurriedly helped Su Xiaoman up, winked at Su Xiaoman playfully and said with her right eye: "Thank you, thank you, remember to ask my brother for a yarn lamp." ”

Then he whispered in Su Xiaoman's ear: "My brother can write his own name." ”

Su Xiaoman's face suddenly turned red, knowing that Xiangling was telling her that her brother liked her and would sign his name on the yarn lamp.

Su Xiaoman peeked at Su Mu and found that Su Mu was not angry, so he was a little relieved.

.

After a few people finished eating, it was just dark, and it was a good time to enjoy the lanterns.

The four of them stood up, and Xiangling sighed self-deprecatingly: "I have to get the yarn lamp back quickly, it's embarrassing to hang it at the door and no one bids." ”

The four of them walked downstairs, and as soon as they crossed the threshold, they heard the shopkeeper singing excitedly at the door: "No. 7 yarn lamp, Wang Wenqian and Wang Xiucai of Lin'an Academy have only twenty taels of silver." ”

This shouting was surprisingly loud, so frightened that Xiangling almost tripped over the threshold, and was grabbed by Yang Qingyue by her side, straightened her body, and left with a touch.

In front of Qiwu Restaurant, there is a table with six or seven gauze lamps on it, and the number is pasted in front of the table, and Xiangling's one happens to be placed in the seventh position.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement around the table, and the one standing in the front and middle was Wang Wenqian! Holding a middle-aged beautiful woman in her arms.

Seeing Xiangling and the others walking out of it, Wang Wenqian beckoned in surprise: "Miss Chu, I recognize your font, it's this No. 7 yarn lamp!" This verse is so well written! ”

It didn't matter if he shouted, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiangling, and Xiangling couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.

A young man in the teahouse opposite, hearing the words "Miss Chu", immediately looked in front of the crowd, his eyes were firmly fixed on Xiangling, the corners of his mouth rose, he paid for the tea, and also walked towards the door of Qiwu Restaurant.

After hearing the words "Miss Chu", the middle-aged woman held by Wang Wenqian couldn't leave Chu Xiangling's eyes, and looked at Chu Xiangling from top to bottom, nodding while watching, and the corners of her eyes and mouth rose in an arc.

Chu Xiangling couldn't pretend not to see it, so she had to come over and salute the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman took Xiangling's hand, stroked it gently, and said affectionately: "You are Xiangling who Wen Qian often talks about, right?" It turned out to be such a handsome little girl, carved in pink and jade, like a little boy next to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and I fell in love with me. ”

Wang Wenqian took back the beautiful woman's hand imperceptibly, relieved Xiangling's embarrassment, and introduced: "Miss Chu, this is my aunt, the aunt you sent the Fushou gourd." ”

Xiangling was busy giving gifts and greetings.

The shopkeeper said to Wang Wenqian: "Wang Xiucai, do you still buy this yarn lamp?" ”

Wang Wenqian hurriedly said: "Buy, naturally you have to buy." ”

Xiangling hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Wang Xiucai, this yarn lamp was painted by me temporarily, it's not worth a few dollars, it's not worth spending money to buy it." ”

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "You child, why don't you pay so much attention to the Lantern Festival?" This is a good opportunity for the old moon to give the matchmaker. ”

The beautiful woman picked up the yarn lamp, looked at the inscription on it, and nodded appreciatively, judging from the poetry, this girl has a very big pattern, not a little woman who is confined to the back house, she has the potential to be an official lady and the main hand, much better than those squeamish young ladies.

The most important thing is that Xiangling and her are considered to be their own families, and they are both surnamed Chu.

This nephew and daughter-in-law, she identified.

The beautiful woman said to the shopkeeper: "Mrs. Yun of Yunyi Teahouse, fifty taels of silver." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the beautiful woman in surprise, and shouted happily: "No. 7 yarn lamp, Mrs. Yun of Yunyi Teahouse, fifty taels of silver." ”

When the shopkeeper was amazed at the sky-high price of the yarn lamp tonight, a cold voice said: "Lingyu Guan Yang is preparing for fifty taels and one pennies." ”

The shopkeeper has an urge to scold his mother in his heart, just now there is one who has been adding a penny, why did he jump out of the second one today, don't you want to be faced?

The shopkeeper scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he had to honestly quote the price.

When it was reported to be one hundred taels of silver, Yang Qingyue no longer increased the price, Wang Wenqian thought that when the yarn lantern hand arrived, another person reported the price and said: "Jin Xudong of Lin'an Restaurant, I am willing to give two hundred taels of silver." ”

The crowd immediately became noisy, and their eyes were full of gossip.

The shopkeeper's brows furrowed tightly, who doesn't know that Lin'an Restaurant and Qiwu Restaurant are now rivals, and coming here to bid for yarn lamps won't be some conspiracy, right?

The shopkeeper's face darkened, and he hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be the second owner!" Jin Erdong's family is not sitting in Lin'an Restaurant, come to Qiwu Restaurant to see the excitement? ”

Jin Xudong humbly replied: "I also saw Qi Dong's house in front of Lin'an Restaurant, and the courtesy is still exchanged, so I came to take a look." ”

The second shopkeeper blocked half of Xiangling's body undetectably, and said with a smile: "Jin Erdong's family can come, Qiwu Restaurant is naturally full of brilliance, please?" ”

The shopkeeper gave way to the house, but Jin Xudong didn't move, looked at the No. 7 yarn lamp, waved his hand, and motioned to the shopkeeper to continue bidding.

Wang Wenqian wanted to continue to bargain, but the beautiful woman whispered apologetically to Wang Wenqian: "My aunt didn't bring so much silver. ”

Wang Wenqian's eyes were red with anxiety, and he took off a piece of mutton fat jade from his body and said, "I'll bet on this 'happy eyebrows'." ”

"Nonsense!!" The beautiful woman immediately snatched the jade pendant back and dragged Wang Wenqian away.

Wang Wenqian stopped in three steps, turned back in five steps, reluctantly watched the yarn lamp turn to Jin Xudong's hand, and comforted himself in his heart: It's just a yarn lamp, he and Xiangling are in love, as long as he is admitted to the Jinshi, Xiangling will naturally become his Wang Wenqian's wife, definitely.
