Chapter Twenty-Six: The Strange Third Uncle
The shopkeeper welcomed the mother and daughter to the elegant room on the second floor, added tea, and opened the money box.
"The store collects less bulk goods, according to the market price, a handkerchief is a few to a hundred wen, Mrs. those embroidered handkerchiefs are exquisitely embroidered, and they are full of embroidery, the price is more expensive, a total of eight, how about a sixty wen?"
Ordinary people buy less ready-to-wear and more cloth, or sew by themselves, or find tailors to customize, generally only three or fifty wen can be a short fight, and two or three hundred wen with better materials can also be bought.
The handkerchief does not cost fabric, and the one that Du Yingqiu sold to the merchant in the past was only eight yuan, but it has multiplied several times when he arrives in the store.
But both mother and daughter know that this extra money is because those embroidery patterns are really rare, and because the store wants to make this good fate.
"You are a connoisseur, and the price you set is fair." Others threw out olive branches, Du Yingqiu smiled sincerely and took it, "We are from Qingshan Village, and we also came to the market to think of coming to the Splendid Pavilion to palm, the embroidery was sold to the merchant before, and I also saw the objects embroidered before in your store, and I thought it was fate." ”
Downstairs, Shan Tao said that Du Yingqiu had sold embroidery in this store, and it was not empty white teeth, but he recognized Du Yingqiu's handwriting on the counter.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Shan Tao, and he blamed the little girl in his heart, "It's not fate, my family does have a receiver, but I have to pick it up to be good. ”
The scene you praised me was gone, and the topic officially fell on the rich maid just now.
"Just now it was the eldest girl Qingmei in front of Mrs. County Order. Gao County's daughter is only fourteen, and she hasn't heard it at first, but today she suddenly came to the door and said that she would prepare a dowry for her own lady, and I didn't prepare good goods. ”
Grabbed the snack and put it in front of Shan Tao, and the shopkeeper continued, "Gao Xian Ling is going to leave next year, and he is not from Yizhou, so it is estimated that the dowry for Qianjin is less here, so he hurriedly placed it outside." ”
Preparing a dowry, even in the countryside, is also an important thing for women, although there is a difference between the high and the low, but in general, it is just some household utensils, cloth and clothing, and the family has a rich background to buy some industries.
This Qingmei said that it was to order a wedding dress from the cloth village, as well as bed sheets and bedding and other large and small objects, if it really fell on the head of the family, it would be a big business.
"Although my wife and I have not been masked, but this business has been done first, today I see that the Qingmei girl is also satisfied with the embroidery of the lady, if the county order Mrs. nods again, this is a big deal."
The shopkeeper thought about the generosity of Mrs. County's usual shots, and his heart blossomed, but his face was still pressed, "Although Mrs. is not the embroidery lady in my store, but the craftsman speaks by hand, I can take the lead in Mrs. County, I don't know if Mrs. has a will?" ”
Whether it is for the business that will come and go in the future, or the big meat at the moment, Du Yingqiu has no reason to refuse.
The dowry business of the county order daughter was to be discussed, and the shopkeeper first made a long-term small deal, confiscated the deposit, took a stack of materials and needles and threads that were much better than the embroidery handkerchiefs they brought, and booked a batch of embroidery.
It is clear that there are no ordinary tricks before, and now these rare and complicated ones, because it is a long-term business, the price is set at fifty wen a piece.
The money just received was replaced with cloth before it could be warmed up.
I picked a total of four horses for my own use, one bright-colored madder for Shan Tao to make clothes, one pine gray one for Shan Erlang, one crimson Du Yingqiu to wear for himself, and one extra expensive, which was a New Year's gift for Dr. Ji.
My family is comfortable and durable to wear, and it is natural to pick some tricks when giving away.
The shops were discounted, it was a lot cheaper, and there was still money left over from selling handkerchiefs, so I went to buy some snacks and a jar of good wine, and the New Year's gift was ready.
When I arrived at Po Chai Hall, there were many people who came to see the doctor and grab medicine, and many of them fell ill in the cold winter and Layue, and they had time to come to the hospital together when they rushed to the market.
Dr. Ji is the signboard of Po Chai Hall, and he was busy until he was done, and when he heard the apprentice say that a mother and daughter had come to give gifts, he was a little surprised when he saw it, "Why are you here?" ”
"Today's rally is coming, and it's almost the New Year, my mother and I want to come to you to greet the New Year." The mountain peach man couldn't hold anything, so he only put the dim sum into Dr. Ji's arms, "This dim sum is fragrant, you can take it home and give it to the doll to eat." There are also wine and cloth, which are ordinary New Year's gifts. ”
Seeing the New Year's gift on the table, Dr. Ji didn't have seen these things, but he just remembered the poor family background of the Shan family, and the Du family who refused to pay for medicine, so he didn't want to accept this gift.
"It is the duty of a doctor to cure the sick and save people, so why do you need this? I took the heart, so let's take it back to my home. ”
Shan Tao stood up straight, bowed to Dr. Ji, and said loudly: "Your doctor is benevolent, my father and mother have to live, these things are not worth half of your kindness, if you don't accept it, the younger generation will be uneasy." ”
If Dr. Ji didn't accept it, Shan Tao refused to get up, Du Yingqiu only held his hands together, and there was a difference between men and women, and Dr. Ji couldn't refuse to go back, so he had to accept it.
Looking at the mountain peach that put away a serious smile, Dr. Ji shook his head and smiled, "The dim sum of Daoxiangzhai, the cloth of Jinxiu Pavilion and the wine of Jushenglou, why did your family pick up gold?" Didn't you still borrow money to catch the medicine when we met last time? ”
This should not be picked up by a child, Shan Tao blinked and didn't say a word, and Du Yingqiu said, but the house turned around a little, so as not to jingle.
Doctor Ji thought about it for a while, opened the apprentice, and said something to the mother and daughter alone, "Your father-in-law was brought to me by the casino people, and he didn't swallow a breath. If the people in the casino know that your father-in-law is not dead, and you must not be entangled, you should avoid the limelight in the near future. ”
Du Yingqiu nodded, "That's the reason, I didn't come to the market this time." Thank you, Dr. Ji, for your suggestion. ”
Seeing that people knew what to expect, Dr. Ji didn't say much, and suddenly said, "Do you still have relatives in the county?" Is it a student? ”
The mother and daughter glanced at each other, and no one remembered that there were relatives in the county, but Shan Tao reacted first, "My third uncle is studying in the county, do you know Dr. Ji?" ”
"It's not a acquaintance. I just listened to some gossip, saying that the casino people killed my brother by mistake, and now they are pestering my brother to ask for money. Since your father didn't die, your third uncle didn't send the news back? ”
Yama Saburo in Yamamo's memory is a dead reading mom boy with eyes on the top of his head.
If the people in the casino really pestered him because of Yamajiro, Shan Chunhua only returned to his hometown from the county a few days ago, why should Yamazaburo also deliver the message or ask for money, he shouldn't have brought a word.
Du Yingqiu's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something, she scratched Shantao's palm, and waited until she said goodbye to Dr. Ji before she breathed with Shantao.
"Shan Saburo, he is not a good person in our second room, and it is impossible for your father to carry this black cauldron."
