16 Chapter 16

After Huo Aowu left, after a while, Ruan Yimian waited for his cousin again.

Ruan Yiquan also looked happy when he came back this time, and before he could go home, he came here first. As soon as Ruan Yimian looked at his complexion, he knew that the cotton rouge should sell well.

"Brother Mian'er, why are you the only one at home?" After Ruan Yiquan sat down, he wiped the sweat with the sweat towel on his shoulder.

Ruan Yimian brought tea to his cousin: "My cousin drinks tea, my father and mother have gone to the field, and I guess I won't come back until later." ”

Ruan Yiquan was very thirsty, so he drank half a glass of water, and after putting down the cup, he smiled at his cousin: "There is good news, I wanted to say it with them, so that the uncle and the aunt will be happy and happy, since they are not here, then I will tell you, and you will tell them when they come back." ”

Ruan Yimian nodded: "Cousin, you can say it." ”

Ruan Yiquan was a little proud on his face: "The five hundred pieces of cotton rouge have been sold out!" And guess whom? ”

Without waiting for Ruan Yimian to reply, he couldn't wait to say: "More than two hundred sheets were sold in those villages, and the rest were sold to the grocery store where I bought them!" ”

Ruan Yimian's heart moved, selling to grocery stores is indeed a good way, although it is not comparable to rouge shops, but it is much better than letting Ruan Yiquan push the cart and sell them one by one.

Moreover, most of the customers in the grocery store are the people of the town, who are still richer than the farmers in the village, and it should be easier to sell there than in the villages.

"Cousin, you're so powerful that you can let the grocery store collect our rouge!" Ruan Yimian looked overjoyed and praised with a smile.

Ruan Yiquan didn't show it on his face, but in his heart, he was actually like his younger brother Brother Orange, he liked to be praised by others, Ruan Yimian's words could be regarded as talking about his heart.

"Hey, it's still your rouge that is well done. I wanted to go to the grocery store to buy some mirrors and sell them with cotton rouge, but the shopkeeper was a little surprised when I told me to buy ten small mirrors, and I was an old acquaintance with him, so I explained it to him. When he heard that the rouge I sold was so cheap, he still didn't believe it, so he took our rouge and looked at it for a while. I saw that he seemed to be a little interested, so I took one and asked him to try it, and he tried it on his hand, and thought it was good, and immediately asked me to buy a hundred. ”

"I went out for three or four days this time, walked two villages, and only sold more than 100 pieces of rouge, and the mirrors were all sold out, so I wanted to come back first, rest for two days, get some goods and go out again. As a result, when I went to the grocery store to pick up the goods, the shopkeeper said that the cotton rouge was selling very well, and bought all the 100 or so sheets I had left! ”

Speaking of this, Ruan Yiquan was still a little excited: "The shopkeeper said that we will send another hundred copies next month!" ”

After Huo Aowu discussed with his good brothers about repairing the house, he returned to Ruan's house.

As soon as he came back, he found Ruan Yimian sitting in the hall stunned, with a little joy on his face, a little sorrow, and seemed to be a little troubled.

Huo Aowu looked at the extra teacups on the table, thoughtful: "What, who came over in the afternoon?" ”

Ruan Yimian hesitated, and stopped talking: "My cousin came over, and he said that the rouge was sold out." ”

"That's a good thing, why aren't you upset?" Huo Aowu stared at Ruan Yimian in a daze, as if he wanted to find out that he was ugly from his face.

Ruan Yimian was a little embarrassed, he turned his face sideways, twisted his fingers and whispered: "No, no upset, it's just ......"

Seeing that he had been refusing to speak, Huo Aowu was a little anxious, for fear that there would be some moths on Jiang Qingyao's side, so he coughed lightly and asked casually, "Is there anything you can't say to Brother Huo?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ruan Yimian without blinking.

Ruan Yimian was a little flustered by his deep eyes, and unconsciously said what was in his heart: "I want to make some rouge to sell, but the family has no money, and the money from the sale this time will be kept for me to catch medicine, and it will also be used for the family's expenses......."

Selling only rouge is not a long-term solution, and since the grocery store has opened an opening, Ruan Yimian wants to make a few boxes of more expensive rouge cream to try.

But as soon as the words fell, he regretted it.

It's no different from borrowing money directly from Brother Huo, yesterday he insisted on returning the five taels of silver, and today he borrowed money from others because of the rouge, which is really shameless.

Huo Aowu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it was not Jiang Qingyao's business.

"It's simple, I'll lend you as much silver as you need."

Ruan Yimian knew that his eldest brother Huo would say this, and he secretly blamed himself for talking with no brains, and always bothering others.

"Brother Huo, you have already helped us a lot, I haven't paid off the last consultation fee and medicine money yet, I can't trouble you anymore." Ruan Yimian felt a little guilty when she thought of this, and her voice was a little lower.

Huo Aowu's heart tightened, he really couldn't see this little brother sad.

He took out a silver ticket from his arms, pushed it in front of Ruan Yimian, and said in a low voice: "Is twenty taels enough?" ”

Huo Aowu actually had twenty taels of silver tickets on his body! Ruan Yimian was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said, "My mother is right, you just came back, and there are many places to use money, so I shouldn't take your money anymore." ”

His eyebrows were lowered, his long eyelashes covered his eyes, and he looked really pitiful, Huo Aowu squatted in front of him, slowed down his voice, and patiently followed the temptation: "It's useless for me to take this silver now, I'll lend it to you first, and when I want to use it, why don't you just give it back to me?" ”

"But ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Aowu interrupted: "Didn't you still come over to help when I repaired the house?" If I lend you money, I will thank you, okay? ”

Ruan Yimian was silent for a while.

He didn't agree, so Huo Aowu kept staring at him, as if he had to wait for him to nod. Ruan Yimian hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed to the matter.

He gently pushed the silver ticket back, and whispered timidly: "Five taels of silver is enough." ”

Huo Aowu couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and the rare smile on his face softened the scar on his side face.

Ruan Yimian was stunned for a while.

His eldest brother Huo is actually quite handsome, different from Jiang Qingyao's noble scholar of Zhilan Yushu, he is a wild and wild coldness. The scar on his face added a bit of anger to him, but it was not ugly, but it gave him a different kind of charm.

At this moment, the two got closer, Huo Aowu's sturdy arm rested on the arm of his chair, which seemed to encircle his whole person, and Ruan Yimian blushed unconsciously.

He hung his head, not knowing that the man in front of him was reluctant to look away from the hair on the top of his head and the crimson earlobes.
