Chapter 277: Peony
After asking twice, one of the children said in a foreign accent: "Xiaohe Village, we are from Xiaohe Village." ”
Sakura didn't know where Xiaohe Village was, but she was sure that the two children weren't from Qinchuan County.
She crouched down and probed the snort of the lying man with her fingers, and found that the man was out of breath.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked.
The older boy looked wary and refused to speak, and the girl next to him said, "It's A-Niang." ”
Sakura paused and decided to tell them the truth: "Your aunt is dead. ”
Even in cold weather, staying with the dead will make you sick, and if these two children don't find a way to settle down as soon as possible, they probably won't survive this winter.
The girl cried as she nibbled on the apple, and the boy remained silent, apparently already aware of the outcome.
Jiang Quan walked over, took out a large string of copper coins and handed it over: "Here, this is three hundred Wen, you can't rob other people's things anymore, you are lucky today, you meet us, if it were someone else, you would have broken your legs earlier." Don't stay here, find a place to stay first. ”
Even if you are a slave or maidservant, it is better than freezing and starving to death on the streets.
The boy immediately took the coin, thanked him, and slipped it into his tattered robe.
Jiang Quan took the little cousin in one hand, and Xiao Hei and the golden boy in the other, turned around and left.
There are many such beggars, and he has met several groups in the bazaar today, and he does not know where they all came from.
I can help them for a while, but I can't help them for a lifetime, and now I can only give them a little money so that they can survive for a while.
The golden boy sobbed all the way, feeling sorry for the apple that he had been snatched away after eating half of it.
Sakura saw that he didn't stop, so he had to find a big apple from his small bag and give it to him. "Here, don't cry, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come here?"
The golden boy took the apple, wiped his nose with his sleeve, and instantly smiled, "I want to go to your house to play with you." ”
In the past, he often went to Jiang Kee's specialty shop with his eldest sister, so now he wants to go there to find Sakura Bao to play.
Sakura Bao said angrily: "How old are you?" Dare to run around alone? ”
The golden boy blinked and said seriously: "I will be seven years old during the Chinese New Year, of course I dare." ”
He has been playing at the door of the shop since he was a child, and when he is a little older, he runs far away with the neighbors' friends to play, and a while ago he went to Washi alone to watch acrobatic performances.
Sakura sighed to herself.
It is estimated that this is how street runners are raised.
In fact, the golden boy has already started to go to private school, but recently the private school has taken annual leave, and he has a little nothing to do.
Today happens to be the day when the enemy family and the Jiang family will meet, and there are many guests at home, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, so I can't take care of the golden boy.
Fortunately, the golden boy only met two little beggars and was not hurt much, but if he encountered a kidnapper or a kidnapper, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But then again, the seven-year-old doll has already remembered, and the kidnapper doesn't like to kidnap this kind of male baby, if it's a female baby, it's a different matter.
For safety, Sakura and his second cousin sent the golden boy to his doorstep, and then turned back to the market.
After buying good things, I saw that it was not early, so I walked back.
When I passed by the base of the wall again, the two little beggars and the corpses on the ground were gone.
On the second day, Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang returned to their hometown with Jiang Cheng and his wife, while Jiang Sanlang stayed behind to take care of his daughter and Jiang Quan, and went to the market to buy a door god and peach charm, preparing to replace his house and his daughter's shop with new charms on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
As for Jiang Cheng's mansion, it is naturally managed by his father-in-law.
Soon it was the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Jiang Quan got up early in the morning, called out to his little cousin again, and carried the turntable and some goods into the carriage and transported them to the place where he stepped on it.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, and there were already people moving on the street.
Sakura poked her head out of the carriage and saw a bunch of bricks on the ground on both sides of the street, either a bamboo root, a stick, or a few lumps of dirt.
This means that someone has come in the middle of the night, used these things to occupy the territory first, and set up a stall according to their mark the next day.
It is estimated that the second cousin also came, and saw that more than a dozen broken tiles were placed in the place where their carriage was, and a place was circled.
"Sakuraho, are you hungry?" Jiang Quan set the dishes and prepared to go to the restaurant not far away to buy breakfast.
Sakura Bao snorted: "I want to eat wontons, and I want to eat meatloaf." She suddenly missed her aunt's meatloaf.
"Wait! I'm going to buy it. Jiang Quan rushed to buy breakfast.
After a while, he came over with two large bowls of wontons and an oiled paper bag under his arm.
Sakura Bao sat in the carriage, taking a bite of wontons and a bite of meatloaf, eating fragrantly.
As the sky grew brighter, the streets gradually became more crowded, most of them vendors who came to set up stalls.
Ying Bao looked at the big colorful turntable in his house, and a sign next to the turntable, which was written: Jiang Ji specialty, opposite the county school, selling the county's specialty, Tong Su is not bullied.
Looking at the turntable again, Jiang Quan has been painted with various patterns on it, each pattern corresponds to a small commodity.
The most expensive turned out to be a silver bracelet.
After eating the wontons, Jiang Quan handed the dishes and chopsticks back to the snack shop, and then stood there to shoot arrows to attract customers.
Sakura Bao was a little bored sitting in the carriage, and when he saw that his second cousin was still shooting, he said, "I'm going back, are you here alone?" ”
"Where are you going?" Jiang Quan didn't know why.
Sakura Po pointed in the direction of the shop, "I'll set up a stall at the door of the shop." In the past two days, she has taken out a lot of apples, melons, and some flowers, which are ready to be sold in the shop to increase the popularity of the shop.
Jiang Quan nodded: "Okay." ”
Anyway, the third uncle is also here, if the little cousin is too busy, the third uncle will definitely take care of one or two.
Compared with the market, there is a lot less traffic in the county school, and there are few roadside stalls.
Sakura and Daddy opened the door of the shop and placed a small bamboo bed at the door of the shop, and a large number of bright and dazzling peonies and chrysanthemums were placed on the bamboo bed.
This cluster of peonies, the stems of which are wrapped in cotton balls soaked in the pupil spring, can bloom for several days without defeat.
There is also a basket of fragrant mudanhua, a basket of red apples, and a large basket of golden and turquoise melons.
Although Jiang Saburo wondered why there was such a thing in winter, he couldn't think of anything strange.
After all, some wealthy families will also build some conservatories, which raise a lot of precious flowers.
But what exactly will be raised, ordinary people do not know.
Maybe these peonies and mudan chrysanthemums are raised by some big families.
As for apples, it is not unusual, and some fruit farmers even deliberately save their autumn fruits for sale in the winter, hoping to sell them at a high price.
Not long after the things were laid out, people gathered around to watch.
Because this bed of bright peony flowers is so attractive, even Jiang Yunniang came over to see it several times.
"How do you sell this flower?" A lady asked.
Ying Bao: "One peony is fifty wen, and Mu Dan is one hundred wen and five flowers." ”
"Yikes! So expensive! The eldest lady was speechless: "It's time to catch up with the price of silk flowers." ”
Ying Bao said seriously: "Silk flowers have no fragrance, these flowers in my house are fresh and tender real flowers, and they can be undefeated for several days." ”
Nowadays, people love to wear flowers, and they love real flowers, although silk flowers will never wither, but they are also inferior ornaments.
Especially in the winter when thousands of flowers are withering, Yuan Zhengshi can wear a real peony to visit relatives and friends, which is a face-saving thing.
