Chapter 20 It hurts as if I was being pulled hard by a pair of invisible hands
"It's not."
"That's the Zhao family's transfer, you don't want me and Xiao Wu to get your family's good luck." Zhou Mujiao turned around, "I understand, I'll go." β
Zhao Yunjing was anxious and grabbed her: "Gillian! I'm not trying to drive you away! Moreover, it was the Zhao family who touched your good luck, not the good luck of our Zhao family. β
Zhou Mujiao's eyes rolled, and then she lowered her head: "Then if I continue to stay in your family, isn't the luck of the Zhao family better?" Maybe in a few months, the Zhao family will become the richest man in Taohua County. At that time, Brother Zhao will be able to marry Miss Guan. β
She was originally young, petite and slender, she looked very weak, and now she hung her head again, even if her tone was calm, Zhao Yunjing's heart seemed to be pulled by a pair of invisible hands.
It hurts.
He hurriedly said, "I won't marry Miss Guanjia!" β
"Really?"
"I swear, I, Zhao Yunjing, will never marry an official lady in my life!"
Zhou Mujiao said faintly: "Only what you can't do at the moment can you hope for oaths and promises, Brother Zhao, from the moment you swear, in fact, you yourself know that you can't do it, and your life is so long, no one can-"
"If I, Zhao Yunjing, marry a lady from an official family in the future, let me fight the sky-"
"Okay, I won't tease you!" Zhou Mujiao said with a smile, "But you can't calculate the account, you found the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, I just sold it, if I take it all, it will really take advantage of you." β
"But if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to find ginseng and reishi, let alone toβ"
"Didn't you say that? Your sincerity touched the Buddha, and you were lucky, and then you saw the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. In this way, let's not push around, the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are found by you, and the money must be yours, but I also put effort into selling goods, so I will pump 30% of the water and take 1,500 taels.
In addition, Xiao Wu and I are now living in your house and relying on you to take care of it, and this hundred taels should be our rent and food expenses. β
Zhou Mujiao put a few silver tickets in her arms, stuffed the rest back, then smiled at him, turned around and left.
Zhao Yunjing looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and his mind didn't seem to be turning.
He seems to have screwed up.
He settled accounts with her, not trying to draw a line with her!
Zhou Mujiao suddenly turned around: "Brother Zhao, tomorrow is the polder day, right?" β
Hope lit up in his eyes: "Yes." β
"I want to go out into the street to buy something, and I just sold the wild boar and hare, and I'm short of money."
Zhao Yunjing was overjoyed, he immediately chased after her and stuffed her share, Zhou Mujiao was happy: "What are you doing?" β
Zhao Yunjing walked quickly, and when he was about to reach the door of Zhao's house, he said: "If you don't dislike it, you can live in Zhao's house for the rest of your life." β
Zhou Mujiao touched her chin, ancient men and women were subtle and shy, so Zhao Yunjing's words were a confession?
When they heard that they were going to sell goods tomorrow, several children were very excited and reported what they wanted to buy.
It's nothing more than sugar, pastries and other things they have never eaten, Xiao Wu thought about it for a long time, she asked Zhou Mujiao: "Sister, can you help Xiao Wu buy a knife?" If you want to be small, you can hide it in Xiao Wu's boots, or pin it to your waist. β
This kid is afraid that he is already preparing to become a general in the future.
Zhou Mujiao touched his head: "In addition to the knife, do you want a bow and arrow?" Do you want a tassel gun? What about the dagger? What about scimitars? β
"Can I have all of them?"
"Yes!"
"Then I don't want sugar, I want all of what you said!"
"Yes, General!"
A group of people burst into laughter.
Aunt Zhao also smiled, and Zhou Mujiao asked her, "Auntie, what do you want to buy?" β
Aunt Zhao hurriedly waved her hand, saying that she didn't lack anything now, so she didn't need to buy it, and she was afraid that Zhou Mujiao would ask again, so she hurried back to the West Wing.
With the ox cart, this time they slept for an hour more than last time, just entered the city at dawn, went straight to the Good Luck Restaurant, and saw Steward Su directing the helpers there from a distance, Zhou Mujiao shouted crisply: "Steward Su!" β
Steward Su turned his head suddenly, and when he saw Zhou Mujiao, he smiled: "Miss Zhou! Brother Zhao! You've come just in time! It's a wild boar this time, right? β
"Yes, it's still a wild boar, and there are a few pheasants and hares, if the Su steward is suitable, I will sell it to you cheaply."
"Well said, well said."
The transaction went well, and when the two left, Steward Su caught up: "Miss Zhou! Brother Zhao! β
"Steward Su?"
"The wild boar you sent during this period of time has earned a lot of face for our host." He paused for a moment and lowered his voice, "The owner of Hongyun Restaurant is not very reasonable, he can't do anything to our host, it is estimated that he will find you unlucky, I am afraid that as soon as you two enter the city just now, you will already know about it, you will be careful." β
"Thank you, Steward Su."
helped a few children buy things, and Zhou Mujiao pulled Zhao Yunjing into the ready-to-wear store last time.
The store was surrounded by a few plainly dressed women in the middle, and when Zhou Mujiao entered, the store saw it at a glance and recognized them, and the store was very happy: "I have opened a shop in Taohua County for ten years, and I have never seen a little Langjun go shopping with his little daughter-in-law every time, it's really love." β
In ancient times, married women and unmarried women could be distinguished from their hairstyles, but Zhou Mujiao didn't know how to pull her hair, and only tied a ball head twice, which looked like a bun, and the store couldn't tell the difference, and saw that she and Zhao Yunjing behaved naturally, so they directly thought they were a young couple.
Zhao Yunjing's face turned red and stammered: "We didn't get married!" β
"If you haven't married yet, you haven't been married, why are you blushing?" The shopkeeper joked and changed his name, "Girl, how many more do you want to buy today?" β
And took the initiative to reduce the price themselves.
"Sister, I'm not going to buy clothes today." Zhou Mujiao smiled.
The shopkeeper is about forty years old, recently she looks at herself every day, sighing that her years are dying, Zhou Mujiao's 'sister' directly cured her, and she was suddenly overjoyed, and stepped forward to pull Zhou Mujiao: "It's okay to be left and right, why don't you just gossip with your sister?" β
"That's a good dare!"
The two of them talked about it, and a few more women came in, this time Zhou Mujiao figured it out, these people are helping the garment workshop to make clothes, and the wage is not bad in the local area, and the store gave the money after acceptance, and they received the cloth again, and left happily.
There were two people who came to sell embroidery, looking like two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and they begged the store to give two more dollars: "Sister Liu, our family is really about to open the pot, you can do well, give us two more pieces per piece!" β
There were a total of twenty handkerchiefs, and the shopkeeper came to look through them one by one, and said lightly: "Aunt Li, don't think I'm talking badly, I can barely accept your handkerchief, your embroidery is too bad, even if I pay five cents a piece, I may not be able to sell it." β
"Sister Liu, we really can't help it, Lao Li broke his leg, Ah Hai has to take medicine every day, we really can't ......"
"There's no way to increase the price, it's a piece of sanwen, just sell it, and if you don't sell it, you can take it to another place to try." Sister Liu didn't have any expression on her face, "If you can sell more than five wen, the embroidery you bring over next time, no matter how ugly it is, I will take all the eight wen." β
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be really short of money, so they took back the handkerchief and wiped their tears out of the shop.
After the two left, the shopkeeper glanced at his lips, turned his head and found that Zhou Mujiao was looking at her, and her face paled a little: "What does Miss Zhou want to say?" β
Zhou Mujiao raised her innocent face: "They look so pitiful, I thought Sister Liu would promise them." β
