Old Madam Shen jumped to her feet and scolded and said, it was her own idea to come to Shen Yunxi today.

Although Shen Erfu promised to marry Shen Pingping to Hu Yuanwai to make up for some losses, she still felt that it was too cost-effective to marry Shen Yunxi to Mu Chenglin, a promising hunter.

She has raised Shen Yunxi for more than ten years, and she always has to squeeze her value.

If it weren't for Shen Erfu who rescued the Su family back then, where would Shen Yunxi be born, so the Su family's property belongs to the Shen family, and even Shen Yunxi belongs to the Shen family.

"Since you look down on our Mu family, then return the one hundred and twenty taels of silver!" Mu Chenglin said with a cold face, he didn't even look at Shen Yunxi.

"Phew!" Old Lady Shen jumped up directly, "The silver was given to me by you willingly, and it wasn't the old lady who forced you to take it, the silver given to the old lady is the old lady's, don't want the old lady to spit it out for you again!" ”

"Money and people, I have to have one, otherwise I will go to sue the official!" Mu Chenglin didn't retreat, he didn't go to the Shen family to find trouble for them, even if this old lady dared to come to the door to ask for someone!

"Sue who's afraid of whom!" Mrs. Shen's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and the family dares to sue the official? Her son and grandson are both scholars!

"Grandma, many people in the village can testify that if the crime of marriage fraud is established, the fourth uncle and cousin will not be able to participate in the imperial examination!"

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she immediately died down, although the money was good, but the future of her son and eldest grandson was more important.

But she still feels at a loss!

"Then I'll take a step back, you take out another five hundred taels of silver, and I'll leave, and Shen Yunxi will have nothing to do with the Shen family in the future!"

Five hundred taels?

"Grandma, do you know what you're talking about?" Shen Yunxi looked at Mu Chenglin and a few of them, and knew that Old Lady Shen's request was too much!

Mu Chenglin looked disdainful, Mu Chengjin looked puzzled, and Mu Mu looked bored.

"You are beautiful, and literate, you will be able to marry a rich man, and you can bring a lot of gifts back during the New Year's holidays, I have totaled it, five hundred taels are not too much!" Old Lady Shen stretched out five fingers and said to the Mu family.

Shen Yunxi finally understood the intention of Old Lady Shen at this time!

Shen Yunxi replaced Shen Pingping to marry Mu Chenglin and only got one hundred and twenty taels, which was a loss for Mrs. Shen!

She estimated that the Mu family would send Shen Yunxi back the next day, but who knew that the Mu family was kind-hearted and did not really send her back.

But if this matter gets bigger, Shen Yunxi's reputation will also be ruined, so the best way is to secretly take Shen Yunxi back to the Shen family now, and then hurry up to marry a rich man and make another profit.

If the Mu family does not agree, then the Mu family will be blackmailed for another sum of money.

The old lady is really calculating!

"Brother Mu, it's still too late to go to town!" Shen Yunxi walked up to Mu Chenglin and pulled him out.

Old Lady Shen immediately stopped them, "Don't go, give me the silver before leaving!" ”

"Grandma, we're going to the town to find the fourth uncle and the lobby brother!"

"What are you looking for them?"

"Just ask them how the girls should be sold to maximize their profits, and then ask them if they spend more money on studying in the town, and if it is enough!"

"You dare!" Old Mrs. Shen's voice was high and harsh, and the meaning in Shen Yunxi's words was that the Shen family sold their daughters for their uncle and cousin to study.

If such a reputation spreads, Shen Wenjun and Shen Zhenyu will not be human beings!

"Shen Yunxi, you are the Shen family, how can you turn your elbow out!" Old Lady Shen stopped Shen Yunxi and the others, pointed at Shen Yunxi's nose and scolded.

"Does that grandma treat me as a member of the Shen family? I was almost beaten to death by Shen Pingping, with such a big scar on my head, many people in the village knew about it, didn't grandma hear about it? ”

"Grandma doesn't care about my life or death at all, she only thinks about how to sell me to be the most cost-effective, does grandma treat me as her own granddaughter?"

"You !!" Old Madam Shen pointed her finger at Shen Yunxi, but she couldn't refute it for a while.

"Grandma, it's not early, and the family has to wait for you to go back to dinner! We're not going to keep you! Shen Yunxi directly issued an eviction order, Tianhei Mountain Road is not easy to walk, and the old lady has a good idea, and they are speechless.

Old Mrs. Shen saw that today's goal could not be reached, so she had to leave in a gloomy manner, she looked at the back basket that Shen Yunxi had brought back, it was full of wild vegetables, and even fungi.

It's all poor like this, and I don't want to leave yet, and I don't know what the Mu family has washed Shen Yunxi's brain!

She is not in a hurry about this matter, anyway, Shen Yunxi is still young, so she should not have sex so early, and after she finishes that matter, she will find a rich man who wants to take a concubine and marry Shen Yunxi.

After Mrs. Shen left, Mu Mu hurriedly comforted, "Yunxi, don't have psychological pressure, I can see your grandmother's posture today, she just wants to treat you as a cash cow!" ”

"You live here with peace of mind, they cheated on the marriage first, and they lost money first, and they can't make much waves!"

Shen Yunxi nodded, she knew in her heart that although the Shen family was at a loss on the surface, they who fell in the eyes of money might secretly do something.

Mu Chenglin looked at the wild vegetables in the basket, "Shen Yunxi, you can't eat so many wild vegetables, and there is not so much salt at home for pickling!" ”

"They don't need to be salted, we can dry them into dried vegetables!" Shen Yunxi explained.

"Even the mushrooms can be dried, and when the winter comes, we will have the mushrooms and dried vegetables to eat!"

"Yun Xi has come up with any good ideas again?" Mu Mu said on the side.

"Yes! In winter, there is not much food that can be found in the mountains, so I thought of some ways to preserve it. ”

Mu Mu pulled Shen Yunxi and said to Mu Chenglin, "It's okay to try, if it succeeds, we won't be short of vegetables in winter!" ”

Mu Chenglin nodded, and Mu Chengjin on the side immediately jumped, "Brother, I'll help you!" ”

Mu Chenglin poured out all the wild vegetables in the back basket, and the four of them gathered around the yard to pick wild vegetables, Mu Mu raised the topic from time to time, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chengjin took over the topic from time to time, only Mu Chenglin kept pulling his face, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Shen family, Shen Pingping heard Shen Yunxi's words, she was very excited, she didn't cut the pigweed, so she immediately went back to Shen's house to discuss with Liu.

At noon, Mrs. Shen brought up the matter of Hu Yuanwai's concubine, and at the beginning, she and Liu were both confused by appearances, but when they calmed down and thought about it carefully, they felt that this matter was inappropriate.

Although his biological child will inherit the property of the Hu family in the future, he has been raised under the name of his original partner since he was a child, and who still remembers a biological mother who was a concubine.

Moreover, the concubine is not even as good as a slave, and when she gives birth to a child, the original partner will see that she is unhappy, and she can be sold directly.

But Cui Xiucai is different, Cui Xiucai has a bright future, and she is a serious Xiucai lady when she marries her, no matter whether Cui Xiucai will take a concubine in the future, she is the original match.

Now that Cui Xiucai would say such a thing to Shen Yunxi, wouldn't she want the bamboo basket to fetch water?

After listening to Shen Pingping's words, the Liu family couldn't sit still, Hu Yuanwai, they wouldn't think about it, Cui Xiucai must not make any more forks here.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will take you to the town and ask the Cui family to come and propose marriage. Anyway, Shen Yunxi has already been married, and the marriage contract between the second room of the Shen family and the Cui family can still continue! ”

Hearing her mother say this, Shen Pingping's heart settled down a little, and she didn't have the heart to go out to cut pigweed now, and the large group of pigs in the Shen family was screaming with hunger.

When Mrs. Shen came back, she drenched Shen Pingping's scolded dog, and Shen Pingping had no choice but to put on her back basket and cut the pigweed again.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and smoke was rising from every house, and Shen Pingping was hungry while bending down to cut pigweed, and she kept cursing Old Lady Shen in her heart.

At the end of the grass, there was a sudden sound of rustling, Shen Pingping picked up the grass and saw two people rolling together, she was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated.

After a moment, she quieted down and went farther to mow the hogweed.

She recognized these two people, the man's name was Qiao Ruijie, who was a child in the village, and the woman's name was Liu Shihan, who was also very beautiful, and the two of them had already made a marriage.

It's just that they didn't expect that they would dare to have an affair before marriage.

It was getting darker and darker, Shen Pingping didn't think about it anymore, she hurried up to cut the pigweed, she went back late, and Mrs. Shen wouldn't leave her food.

Shen Yunxi took the Mu family to dry the wild vegetables and mushrooms, and the dinner was still fried wild vegetables and mushroom soup.

After eating, Shen Yunxi proposed the method of improving the sugar gourd.

"When I tried to make it yesterday, the remaining syrup in the pot was drawn, so I thought about making a silk sugar gourd, and the color of the silk syrup is yellowish, which can be named a golden silk sugar gourd."

The method and the amount of sugar have not changed, but the shape of the sugar gourd has been changed.

Mu Chenglin and Mu Mu thought it was feasible and planned to try it with some sugar.

Everyone strung a few strings of sugar gourds together, took a small amount of sugar, and added the corresponding water.

She instructed Mu Chenglin to boil the sugar water over a high fire first, then turn to a low heat and slowly boil it, and when the bubbles of the syrup were from large to small and the color turned yellow, she quickly turned the sugar gourd in the syrup, and then turned the sugar gourd upside down, grabbed the long handle of the bamboo stick with both hands, and rubbed it vigorously and quickly.

The golden sugar silk appeared, and the slender sugar silk was hung all over the sugar gourd, which was very beautiful. Then rotate the sugar gourd, and the golden sugar silk is wrapped on the sugar gourd, layer after layer, like a golden thread, completely wrapping the hawthorn.

It would have been more perfect if Shen Yunxi had not fallen to the ground when Shen Yunxi was turning, and now there was a lot of mud in the golden silk, which was a bit of a bad sight.

Everyone observed the silk sugar gourd like a work of art, and Mu Mu showed a praising eye.

"I didn't expect that syrup could be played like this."

Shen Yunxi had a little pride in his heart, "Tomorrow we will continue to make ordinary sugar gourds, and there will be no fewer people who buy sugar gourds tomorrow, so there will definitely be people who imitate us the day after tomorrow, and at this time we will take out the golden silk sugar gourd." ”

Shen Yunxi's proposal was agreed by everyone.

Mu Chenglin boiled the boiling water, after everyone washed, they were ready to rest, there were ten catties of sugar gourd to be made tomorrow, and they had to rest early today.

The Shen family, when Shen Pingping came back, she almost didn't catch up with the meal, but fortunately, the Liu family left her a steamed bun.

After eating, while Shen Erfu had not returned to the room, Liu secretly took out two taels of silver and stuffed it to Shen Pingping, "I will go to the town with you early tomorrow morning to buy something and come to the door, you can put away this silver, don't show it to your father." ”

Shen Pingping hurriedly stuffed the silver into her clothes, and then went back to her room to rest.

The next day, the Mu family got up very early, and the two brothers Mu Chenglin seeded the hawthorn, and Shen Yunxi and Mu Mu skewered it.

Mu Chenglin made a fire, Shen Yunxi boiled sugar, and finally wrapped it in sugar together.

Ten catties of sugar are all made into sugar gourds, which are too much, and the sugar will melt after a long time.

So after making five catties of sugar, Mu Chenglin took Shen Yunxi to set off first, and Mu Chengjin and Mu Mu continued to make it at home.

Five pounds of sugar, about 190 strings, plus 60 tastings.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the market, there were already many people waiting there, most of them with children.

Seeing Mu Chenglin holding a straw stick, which was full of red skewers, everyone was very excited.

"Yesterday my grandson took the sugar gourd back and shared it with a few neighbor children, but they all clamored to eat the sugar gourd, and this old woman came early in the morning to help them buy it. Girl, I want ten strings! ”

"I have a lot of children, I bought a string back yesterday and didn't have enough points, a few children almost fought, I want twelve strings!"

"And me, and me, I want eight strings!"

Shen Yunxi smiled, the sugar gourd is sweet and sour and loved by children, especially among children, who love to care about whether their parents are fair, and I want other friends too.

Sugar gourd is not expensive, and most adults will come to buy it back in order to satisfy their children!

Soon the sugar gourds on the straw sticks were all sold out, and Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin took out the baskets and plugged them in.

The surrounding vendors all looked at them with bright eyes, some also bought a bunch and went back to taste it to see what the sugar gourd tasted like, and some studied the method.

It is estimated that after tomorrow, there will be many more sugar gourd vendors in the entire Lingyang Town.

was busy, Shen Yunxi glanced at two familiar backs, she looked over, it was Liu and Shen Pingping.

The two of them sneakily walked towards the alley, which was Cui Xiucai's home.

Can't wait?

She also thought that Shen Pingping would not go to Cui Zixuan in a few days, after all, she had just been married for two days, and Shen Pingping would always wait for the wind to pass before coming out to find talents!

However, what Mrs. Shen did yesterday, Shen Yunxi could also think that Shen Pingping had a hard time in the Shen family.

Mrs. Shen is like this to her own granddaughter, not to mention Shen Pingping, a drag oil bottle.

One hundred and twenty taels of silver couldn't satisfy Old Lady Shen's heart at all, she definitely planned to make a fuss about Shen Pingping.

I just don't know what kind of mood Shen Pingping was in when Shen Pingping found out that Mrs. Shen had agreed with Cui's mother about the marriage of Shen Xiujuan and Cui Zixuan.

Thinking about Shen Pingping's busy work for a long time, she finally made a wedding dress for someone, and she had a bad reputation, Shen Yunxi only felt comfortable!

The sugar gourd stall was very busy, and Shen Yunxi couldn't afford to think wildly, and she was once again immersed in the hot business.

Soon, the sugar gourd was about to bottom out, Mu Chenglin inserted the remaining sugar gourd on the straw stick, and then carried the basket home to get the goods.

Shen Yunxi was busy collecting money and taking sugar gourds, and saw Liu and Shen Pingping, and the two walked out of the alley of Cui's house with a smile on their faces.

Shen Pingping held her head high, as if she was already a talented lady now.

It seems that this Cui Zixuan still has two hits, obviously he is about to get engaged to Shen Xiujuan, and he can still play with Shen Pingping.
