Chapter Twenty-Eight: Descending the Mountain
The rich old man stood on the belly of a frog and looked at the girl kneeling on the ground with a lewd expression.
He hooked the girl's chin with the fan in his hand.
"Well, it's pretty good-looking, how much are you going to sell it for?"
"Sir, I only need a tael of silver to bury my father."
"A tael of silver is a bit much, but it's not impossible, you stand up and I'll see."
The girl stood up obediently, looking shy and weak.
"Well, yes, convex and backward, the figure is okay."
Jiang Chen had only seen it on TV before, but it was very interesting to see it in reality at this time.
The old man saw Jiang Chen, a child, staring at the girl seriously.
"Is the child good-looking, do you want to buy it back and be a mother-in-law."
Hearing the old man's words, the surrounding people burst into laughter.
"I don't have any money."
"Do you know what a mother-in-law is?"
"My dad said my mother-in-law could sleep together."
"Haha......"
Jiang Chen's words made everyone laugh again, this old man is probably a pervert.
"In this way, sir, I will buy her today, and then hold a simple wedding for you."
The girl looked at Jiang Chen, although she was younger, she was handsome and extraordinary, and she was not disgusted in her heart.
"Is the wedding fun, is there anything delicious?"
"Of course."
"No, my father said that I have a mother-in-law, her name is Little Cauliflower, and my father picked it up from outside, saying that I will be my mother-in-law when I grow up."
"I didn't expect you to have a child daughter-in-law, but it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."
"No, my father said that the family is so poor that they can't even raise a dog, so they can't have one more person."
Child daughter-in-law, also known as "year-old daughter-in-law" and "adoptive daughter-in-law", is to raise baby girls and young daughters by the in-laws until they reach adulthood and officially get married. In the old days, child brides were very popular in our country.
The reason why child brides are prevalent is that the society at that time was very poor and backward, the people's lives were very low, and many people could not afford to marry daughters-in-law because of their poor families.
Seeing Jiang Chen's stupidity, everyone prefers to tease him.
The old man took out a piece of silver and copper coins from his body.
"Kid, these two let you choose which one you choose."
"I won't choose it, and if you do, you won't give it to me, you're lying to the child."
"Master's words count, whichever one you pick is yours."
Jiang Chen looked at the money in his hand and chose the copper plate without hesitation.
Everyone saw that this kid was really a fool, and he didn't choose the copper plate if he had silver.
"Why don't you choose this?"
"It's not fun to break the rock."
In ancient times, many families had very little silver at home.
The original Yang pretended to be a fool the most, and now he is even more perfect.
No one believes that he is not a fool.
The girl was expecting to marry this handsome young man, but she turned out to be a fool and couldn't help but be disappointed.
Then this old man took the jade pendant and silver for Jiang Chen to choose.
Everyone knows that jade pendants are more valuable, it depends on how he chooses.
"This time, Jiang Chen didn't choose silver, but chose a jade pendant."
Watching Jiang Chen take away the jade pendant, the old man was also stunned, and regretted in his heart, this kid was stupid and stupid, where did he know which one was valuable, and he took it away when he saw that the jade pendant was good-looking.
"That jade pendant can't be given to you, you can take the copper plate and buy candy to eat."
"Why are you giving it to you, you just said which one I took, which one is mine."
Jiang Chen put away the jade pendant, and at this time, the old man was reluctant to reach out and grab it.
As a result, as soon as he pounced, he tripped over Jiang Chen's foot and fell with a gray face.
The fat pig still wanted to beat him, where was he Jiang Chen's opponent, and he fell all over his face again.
Just as he was about to raise his head to insult, he suddenly looked at Jiang Chen, and his eyes slowly became dull.
This is the first time Jiang Chen has used the "Soul Hook", and the effect is not bad.
"Say you're a pig."
"I'm a pig."
"Give me the money you have."
Sure enough, I gave him the purse, and the hypnotic effect was still okay.
This guy sees that he wants to tease him when he is young, and he is disrespectful, and he looks like he is teasing women, so he should be punished well.
Take out a tael of silver and give it to the girl.
"Take this money and bury your father properly."
"How am I going to find you?"
"You don't have to look for me."
After speaking, Jiang Chen got up and left, now that he has silver, he naturally has to spend it.
After eating a lot of snacks along the way, he was holding a packaged fruit in his hand.
Seeing a ready-to-wear shop, Jiang Chen swaggered in.
"The guest officer can look at it casually, the fabrics are all good."
Although Jiang Chen is a child, he is carrying a purse in his hand, and the silver in it is rattling, so this shopkeeper naturally does not dare to slack off.
"Take out the best clothes in your store and take a look."
"Okay officer."
Jiang Chen wanted to buy clothes for Grandma Sun and Xiaolongnu, but as for him, he was still growing his body, and it was a waste to buy it.
After the clothes were taken out, Jiang Chen carefully selected them, and selected two "gowns and lace" according to their figures.
The gown was a very popular costume in the Song Dynasty, worn by both men and women.
The main thing is that the colors and patterns are very beautiful, which is why he bought it.
The admiration for natural beauty was an important component of the aesthetic thought of clothing in the Song Dynasty. This aesthetic pursuit of advocating natural flowers and plants was also reflected in the women's clothing of the time.
There is a delicate camellia embroidered lace on the gown, and the lace is bright and shiny throughout, which is very delicate.
After buying clothes, buy shoes.
They bought two pairs of embroidered shoes according to the size of their feet, and bought a new pair of shoes themselves.
After buying it, Jiang Chen went to meet Granny Sun.
After meeting, Grandma Sun saw that he had bought so many things and asked him where the money came from.
He had no choice but to repeat what had just happened.
"You're so naughty, don't let that happen in the future."
"I know my mother-in-law, mother-in-law, let's go to the inn to eat delicious food, I'll treat you."
"You're gluttonous again."
"Let's go!"
Granny Sun had no choice but to follow him to an inn.
"Something to eat, two of you."
"Put a few of your restaurant's signature dishes, it's not bad for money!" Jiang Chen dangled his purse.
"What kind of wine?"
"Don't you see that I'm a child, children can't drink."
"Okay guest wait."
The two talked while waiting for the food.
The dishes came up, looking at the roast chicken, fish and other delicacies.
I picked a piece of fish and put it in my mother-in-law's bowl.
"Mother-in-law, eat it."
"Okay."
Seeing Jiang Chen so sensible, Granny Sun was also very happy.
The dishes cooked by this family are still okay, and Jiang Chen feasted on it with his mouth full of oil.
