Children pick up the money on the ground, and even adults join in the fun.

For a time, the gate of Jixiangbu Village was very lively.

In the tavern not far away, Li Yingniang poked her head out and looked here, she really wanted to go out and join in the fun.

The third widow saw Li Yingniang looking outside, "Yingniang, is it lively outside?" ”

Li Yingniang nodded, "It's lively, it's a pity that I can't go out." ”

The third widow chuckled lightly, her voice gentle, "Yesterday I and your Uncle Zhou have already talked about you, and your third brother not only agrees with you to stay here, but is also willing to give you a dowry of twenty taels of silver." I'm going to find Second Sister-in-law Li as a matchmaker later, go to your third brother, and settle your marriage. Strive to get your marriage to the third brother when your third brother is in Jixiang Town. ”

"When you become a parent, even if your father and mother know your whereabouts, they are helpless. So for now, you'd better not go out. In case those red-eyed people see you, say that you are here, secretly write to tell your father and mother, take you away, or the lion opens his mouth and asks for a huge bride price, and the Zhou family can't come up with the money, this marriage will not be done. ”

When Li Yingniang heard this, she was so frightened that she hurried back to the backyard, "Godmother, I'm not going anywhere, just stay in the backyard." ”

Seeing that Li Yingniang was obedient, the third widow smiled, "Anyway, it won't take long, and I will be able to go out in the future." However, your third brother agrees to your marriage, but makes a request, that you must not disturb Mrs. Drey and the four children. It doesn't matter if it's okay or not, don't go. ”

"Huh?" Li Yingniang's face turned even paler, "What does my third brother mean by this?" Don't recognize me? ”

The three widows were very satisfied with Li Yingniang's stupid reaction. Li Yingniang, who is not very shrewd, can only listen to her in the future.

The third widow comforted Li Yingniang, patted her on the shoulder, and explained in a whisper, "If your third brother doesn't recognize you, he will directly send you to your parents." Yingniang, don't blame your third brother and sister-in-law. You have forgotten the things you did before, but your third brother and sister-in-law will not forget, and those children will not forget. ”

"Your third brother is still willing to give you twenty taels of silver as a dowry and give you face, and you have to think about your third brother. If you don't go, you won't go. Isn't there still me for the New Year's holiday? I'm going to give a Boxing gift. If they really encounter any difficulties, they won't care. On the contrary, if you wander a lot, you will offend people, and it will not do you any good. ”

"When you get married in the future, you have to think more about your family and your children. And your father, if you really find it, your third brother is not at home, you have to protect your third sister-in-law and nephews and nieces, can your third brother not accept your affection? In short, you can think about things here, so don't mess around. ”

Li Yingniang's expression was stunned, and after a while, she nodded, "Anyway, it's good now, each has its own way." Godmother, I understand. When people annoy me, I don't go to them, and I don't want people to dislike me. ”

The third widow was even happier, and it was better to be able to figure it out, "Yes, that's it." Be obedient, you are willful, and I can't save you in the end. ”

Under the persuasion of the three widows, Li Yingniang gradually understood a lot of truths.

For example, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and at this time and that, feng shui takes turns······

The cloth village opened, and the business was average, because after the family began to dye the cloth, there were people from the village who came to buy it, so there are not many people who buy it now. It's all because the relationship is good, come and cheer.

Although I have heard of the surrounding villages, there are not many shops here, so there are not many people who come to buy fabrics.

On the contrary, the Wu family grain shop next door has been open since the morning, and people have been buying grain one after another. Rice, flour, and all kinds of coarse grains, bran, rice bran, you name it.

Li Fang was a little envious of the customers who came and went to the grain store, very greedy, "Aunt Liu, when will our business be as good as the Wu family's grain store?" ”

Liu Pan'er chuckled and comforted Li Fang, "Rice has to be eaten every day, it is consumed quickly, and every household often buys it." But cloth, a piece of clothing can be worn for a long time, and the consumption is slow. The two are not the same, and it is not easy to compare. Also, our town is still under construction, and there are not many surrounding villagers who come to Jixiang Town. Think about it, the shop in Heisha Town can now sell 500 pieces of cloth a month. When there are more people coming to and from Jixiang Town, the business of our cloth village will naturally be good. Hold your horses. ”

Under Liu Paner's encouragement, Li Fang gradually calmed down, "That's good, taking advantage of the cold business now, Alido and I will learn to read and write, practice calligraphy, and plan to plate." ”

"Yes, learning is always useful." Liu Paner encouraged that even if girls cannot participate in the imperial examination, they can read and do arithmetic, which is a rare skill in life.

With a powerful person like Liu Paner as an example, Li Fang and Li Li both know the importance of knowledge and study very seriously.

After Liu Paner's explanation, Li Fang and Li Li no longer worried about bad business, and began to settle down to open a shop and study. Go to the warehouse often to see how not to be bitten by rats, check the rat traps, and put rat poison in some corners.

Liu Paner was busy with things in the town, and Li Yuanqing went hunting together at Li Dabao's request.

In Li Dabao's hand was a delicate small bow given by Li Yuanqing, as well as a matching bow and arrow. He couldn't ride a horse yet, so Li Yuanqing put Li Dabao in front and the two rode together.

When he arrived in the mountains and forests, leaving a person here to watch the horses, Li Yuanqing took Li Dabao and three guards to hunt in the mountains and forests.

In the winter in the south, even if it is a cold winter, not all trees are withered yellow, and the color of the mountain forests is mostly yellow with green.

Although there are not as many animals in the dense forest as in summer, there are still some traces of them.

"Dad, what are we going to hunt today?" Li Dabao asked, his eyes jumping with joy.

Although I usually follow my aunt to hunt in the dense forest, most of them dig traps and then come back to see if the prey has fallen into the trap after a few days.

Now his father taught him to hunt with a bow and arrow, which is a very different feeling.

Li Yuanqing chuckled, "What kind of prey we hit, we have to see what prey we can encounter today." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuanqing's eyes lit up, "Dabao, can you climb trees?" ”

Li Dabao nodded again and again, "Of course it will, when we were fleeing from the famine, we avoided fierce beasts and bandits, and often climbed trees, and I carried Xiaobao on my back, so I could still climb very fast." ”

Li Yuanqing's eyes showed approval, and he pointed to a big tree not far away, "Then you come up with me." ”

Li Yuanqing took the lead in climbing the tree, and Li Dabao followed closely and climbed up.

Liu Kui, Huo Chengda and others also climbed to other big trees nearby.

Li Yuanqing pointed to a few wild boars approaching slowly not far away, a big wild boar and four small wild boars, "When I say archery, you shoot again." ”

Li Dabao nodded, his expression solemn, facing the big wild boar for the first time.

Li Yuanqing made a few gestures to Liu Kui and Huo Chengda, and shot at the big wild boar together when it was only two or three zhang away from the big tree.
