Today is the day of Su Xiaofang's marriage.

Getting married is most afraid of rainy days, symbolizing that there will be wind and rain in your life.

But today's rain was heavy and urgent, and it was still dripping, and she couldn't stop cursing in her heart.

The clothes on my body were bought last year, and although I wore them with care, I could still see that they were worn.

There were two brand-new cotton quilts on the bed, and she reached out and touched them, feeling a little happier.

She went on a hunger strike for several days before she changed back to these two quilts, but there was only a quilt inner tube, not even a decent quilt.

She sighed weakly.

Su Dazhuang and Tian Xiao'e stood at the door, looking at the pouring rain, and scolded angrily: "If it doesn't rain sooner or later, it won't rain at night, it has to rain today!" I heard that the people of the Qi family were blocked on the road by the rain, and they don't know when they will come! ”

"Where is the blockage, if it doesn't work, we'll send it over, it's not a big deal." Tian Xiao'e was afraid that people would regret it, and even wanted to go on the pole to send her daughter.

Cheng's own family sent his daughter to the man's house, and there was no one in the village.

Su Xiaofang bit her lip, humiliation and unwillingness filled her heart.

I don't know how long I waited, but the rain finally stopped.

There was a sound of talking outside, and someone from the Qi family came.

She happily leaned to the window, looked at the window, and her heart instantly cooled.

The welcoming team she was thinking about was only two people at all, a matchmaker Jin Pozi and a tall thin man, who I heard was a fool's eldest brother.

There were no gongs and drums, no sedan chairs, and even no groom officials, so Su Xiaofang got married.

What a bad luck!

By the time she reacted, she had already arrived at the door of Qi Fool's house.

——

In the black market, the aunt nervously grabbed Lu Qingcao's sleeve, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "You can be counted, I thought it was raining today, and you couldn't come." ”

She was covered in muddy water, and she could tell that she didn't live close.

Lu Qingcao didn't explain, and the two drove the ox cart towards the back mountain.

On the familiar mountain road, several tall figures fanned, and it was the previous few people.

Seeing Lu Qingcao, the man led by him couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and chattered.

The aunt looked at Lu Qingcao puzzled.

This time, there is no translator, and the communication is all dependent on Lu Qingcao.

Business English Lu Qingcao is handy, and communication is effortless.

After some understanding, Lu Qingcao got an amazing news.

"Auntie, they said they wanted to buy another 5,000 catties of grain." Lu Qingcao spoke slowly.

The aunt was so happy that she almost didn't fall on her heels.

5,000 catties of grain, 60 wen per catty, that's 300 taels of silver!!

She had never seen that much silver in her life.

"This, can this be done? There aren't many of them, and they can eat so much food? You can't lie to us. "Auntie has an extra heart.

From the communication, Lu Qingcao sensed that something was wrong.

Fanbang lives as a nomadic herder and does not grow food, but it is obviously wrong to increase such a large demand in the short term.

It's another chatter, and the Fanbang people put forward tempting conditions.

"He said they could pay a tenth of the money in advance and give us ten days." Lu Qingcao twisted his eyebrows.

A tenth is thirty taels, which is also a lot of silver.

The aunt was even happier, and she couldn't wait to buy food immediately.

This time, the requirements are also relaxed, not only black beans, but also ordinary soybeans, rice, and wheat are needed, as long as the quality is good.

And no matter what kind of grain, the price is sixty wen a catty.

It's pie in the sky.

After receiving a deposit of thirty taels, the aunt was even more happy.

Before leaving, the aunt didn't forget to sell her soybean oil and soybean cakes to Lu Qingcao, and stuffed them all into Saihan's hands: "You taste this, she made it herself, if you think it's good, you can buy it." ”

The man at the head was Saihan, and according to himself, he was the owner of a ranch.

Saihan's face was full of doubts, and he became relieved after Lu Qingcao's explanation, happily accepted the gift, and by the way, he untied something from his waist and handed it to Lu Qingcao.

"This is a gift." Lu Qingcao explained and took the purse.

Fanbang people have a strong smell of spices, and this small purse is more like being soaked in a pile of spices, and the smell is heavy and smoked to the nose.

Lu Qingcao didn't look at it much, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Pulling the empty oxcart back, Lu Qingcao and the aunt were full of hearts.

The aunt's face was full of longing: "Three hundred taels of silver, half of each of us, more than one hundred taels of silver is enough for my son to marry a daughter-in-law, it will take a lifetime, hahaha, Qingcao, you are really capable, and you are lucky, every time you are with you, you can meet good things." ”

The last time I was still vivid, the aunt looked left and right at the landing grass, how to see how she liked it.

One hundred taels of silver is also a huge amount of money for Lu Qingcao.

I can open two more showcases after earning it.

As they were walking, an ox cart lay across the foot of the mountain, blocking the way for the two.

"It's really weird, where did the ox cart come from, there is usually no one ...... here" The aunt was anxious to turn around, and she reached out to pull the old ox in front of the cart.

It was like a boulder tied to his feet, and the oxtail waved a few times, making a loud nose, and remained motionless.

The bull's nose ring was almost pulled open, and the snot was mixed with blood.

This cow is too stubborn.

"I'll come." Lu Qingcao stretched out her hand and slammed it hard, the old scalper didn't want to move, she slapped the old scalper on the back.

Syllable!

The old ox mooed twice, reluctantly moved his hooves, and walked towards the side of the road.

Zhao Xiaozi jumped out: "What are you doing?" Steal my bullock cart?! I'm going to sue the officer! ”

He was covered in mud and water, and his trousers were rolled up high to reveal his thin calves, which looked a little funny.

Zhao Xiaozi, who was full of anger, slandered in his heart, what happened to the old scalper of the Qin family, it was not the famous stubborn temper, it was not that his family couldn't be dragged to death, how could he be taken away so easily? !

Zhao Xiaozi suppressed the anger in his heart, straightened his waist and said, "You lose money!" Otherwise, it's a cattle thief! ”

A few days ago, he rubbed Zhao Xiaozi's face, and the people of Fanbang didn't trust him because of this, so they asked him to get out of the house on the spot.

The circle in the mountains is already small, and after such a fuss, his job is completely yellow, how can he not be angry? !

He squatted at the bottom of the mountain for several days, and finally squatted on Lu Qingcao and the others.

When he was in the grass, he heard the two talking about such a big deal, and his gums were about to crumble.

If he talks about this business, how much money will he have to make!

Slanderers are not so open-minded, so everyone else is a fool!

Lu Qingcao looked at the jealousy on his face, he had already guessed seven or eight, and asked rhetorically, "Which eye did you see us stealing cattle?" I'm leading the ox cart myself, and I'm going to steal yours, and my brain is broken? ”

He was angry, this little girl looked so thin, how could she scold people so slippery.

Zhao Xiaozi scolded: "I can see it with both eyes!" You might as well have stolen this bullock cart! You're a habitual thief! ”

He has a red mouth and white teeth, and he slanders people with a hand.

His voice attracted a lot of second-class dealers, whether they were familiar with it or not, to come and watch.

The aunt also hurriedly proved herself: "No, this car belongs to Qingcao's own family, and it only pulled beans in the morning." ”

Zhao Xiaozi seemed to have found a breakthrough point, raised his hand happily, and said like a clown: "Own? Which family can rest assured that a woman can pull a cart alone? There was also a cart of beans! What about your man? I think it's stolen! ”

The onlookers also nodded in agreement: "That's it, such a strong cow, I am reluctant to let my mother-in-law pull it out." ”

"A cart full of beans, how much does it cost, if it's my family, at least I have to bring my father, my mother, and my daughter-in-law."

The crowd burst into laughter.
