Chapter 13: There is no such thing
"Tianshu, where is the sixth child?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, obviously not realizing the boss of the young people.
The daily counting of the number of people is all him, what's going on today?
"Huh? Kaiyang? What about people? Still with me just now? After Tianshu reacted, he was also numb.
The other children also panicked and looked around.
"Mother, look, Kaiyang is over there." Tianxuan was the first to see the person, pointing to the front.
Hong Xiaoduo looked in the direction of his finger, and really saw Kaiyang, at this time he followed a man in a brocade robe, and he couldn't hear what he was talking about from a distance.
However, not only other children can guess, but even Hong Xiaoduo, who is not familiar with begging, understands in an instant.
Kaiyang is seeing rich people, habitually following and begging!
"Mother, it looks like that person should give something." Tianshu whispered.
Several other children also nodded their heads in agreement.
The children's eyes were bright, they looked at Hong Xiaoduo, and then looked towards Kaiyang.
Hong Xiaoduo was in a complicated mood and couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't know what to say, the children's posture was based on their previous experience of begging to analyze her.
"Mother, Brother Kaiyang is really lucky, he should be able to get a money." The Yaoguang on Hong Xiaoduo's back was also a little excited.
These words made Hong Xiaoduo a little sad, the luck in their mouths was good, that is, they might ask for a copper coin.
Although she doesn't know the skills of begging, Kaiyang in her sight has already followed that person for such a good way, if that person can give, she has to delay not to give!
Maybe people are deliberately dragging it out and not giving it, enjoying the feeling of being begged for? Perhaps, I don't want to give it at all, and I have to give it when I can't bear it?
No matter what the situation, Hong Xiaoduo can't stand it.
Not to mention that she now has a hundred taels of silver on her, that is a hundred yuan of money, and the money has always been a thousand.
It's that she is penniless now, and she doesn't want the children to beg in a low voice.
Looking at Tianshu's slightly excited expressions, Hong Xiaoduo gave up his plan to let him call Kaiyang, and strode over there.
Tianshu and a few of them realized that their mother didn't seem to be happy, so they hurriedly followed.
"The lord is good, give some, the lord is kind and makes a fortune." Kaiyang prayed while making a gesture.
Why can't he suddenly move at a critical time, Kaiyang felt that he was off the ground, and when he turned his head anxiously, he saw the person carrying his collar - mother!
Mother's face was wrong, very serious, Kaiyang didn't dare to squeak, and looked at Tianshu who came over, what did it mean?
Tianshu shook his head secretly, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Looking at Kaiyang with a worried face, Hong Xiaoduo couldn't bear to reprimand him for anything, gently put the person on the ground, said don't run around, and turned away.
Tianshu and they hurriedly followed, Kaiyang looked back at the person he had been with for most of the day with some regret, and he couldn't see it anymore, hey, just a little bit, that person would give it!
Hong Xiaoduo stopped in front of a ready-to-wear shop, and Xiao Er at the door saw it, and immediately took a broom to Tianshu and drove them away: "Where is it called Huazi, go away and go away." ”
"Ah Kuan must not be rude." The shopkeeper inside heard the voice and walked out and scolded Xiao Er.
Hong Xiaoduo originally wanted to change the family, because the attitude of the second child to the children just now made her feel that if the guy was not kind-hearted, the boss was not a good person.
But when he saw the face of the middle-aged shopkeeper, he changed his mind and stood still.
"The guy who just came yesterday is not sensible, and please don't blame the little lady." The shopkeeper said apologetically to Hong Xiaoduo.
Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo didn't squeak, the shopkeeper said again: "Little lady, please take a look inside, if you can have what you want, the ready-to-wear in this store is very complete, and there are shoes and socks and everything." ”
"They're with me, can they?" Hong Xiaoduo asked deliberately.
The meaning is obvious, if she can enter, she will enter, if not, she will leave.
Anyway, if the shopkeeper said that she could go in, and it was better for a few children to stay outside, then no matter how good his clothes were and how cheap the price was, she would not buy them.
"Since it's with the little lady, it's natural to be able to enter, please." The shopkeeper responded without thinking.
This is about the same, Hong Xiaoduo raised his feet and entered the shop.
There were no customers in the shop at this time, and a woman was sorting out the things on the hanger, and looked back, although she was a little surprised, her face did not show disgust.
The guest was a woman, and when she entered the shop, the woman stepped forward to entertain: "I don't know what the little lady wants to buy?" We have everything in our house. ”
Tianshu and the others came in, but they were very consciously huddled together, trying to stay away from the hanging clothes.
"Buy a full body, we each have one, and the aunt will help them choose it, and the fabric is medium." The woman's attitude, Hong Xiaoduo was very satisfied and said to her with a smile.
Pick one for everyone? Oh, big business, the woman hurriedly called, "Boss, you also hurry up and help choose." ”
The guy who was trained before has been at the door, and he was not convinced.
Kindly thought about the business in the shop, and was reprimanded by the shopkeeper.
Now I heard that this little lady actually had to buy clothes for seven little beggars, although it was very unexpected, but she still subconsciously entered the shop and wanted to help.
"Don't come in, you won't be needed here." But the treasurer drove him out.
I'm really afraid that he will be impatient to wait for the next one, or an inappropriate expression or something, which will annoy this little lady.
"Mother? Buy us new clothes too? Tianquan looked at the shopkeeper who measured himself, turned his head and asked in a low voice.
"Well, of course, if you don't want to wear new clothes, you can do it." Hong Xiaoduo said with a straight face.
"Mother, Yaoguang wants to wear new clothes." Just got untied, standing on the ground of the little dot, for fear that any of the brothers and sisters who are too sensible will say no, and rush to say it.
After speaking, seeing his brothers and sisters staring at him, he realized that he might not be right like this, and immediately lowered his head: "Mother, you can also ask the shopkeeper, if there are any old clothes for sale, then it should be cheaper, right?" ”
"Poof, little girl, our family only sells new clothes. If you don't wear clean clothes, your mother wants to take you into whatever shop, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. The shopkeeper was very surprised when he heard the little flower call Hong Xiaoduo Niang, but in the end, he has been in business for many years and has seen a lot, so he suppressed his inner curiosity and completed the business first.
"Or, you can choose your own color and style." After Hong Xiaoduo finished speaking, she began to look at what she was wearing at her age.
When the little ones heard that they could choose by themselves, they all looked at Tianshu.
"Please help us choose, just don't be too light." Tianshu looks like an elder brother. They have always found the size of the old clothes from the charity of the good, but they have never worn new clothes, let alone choose them in the shop, how to choose? No! I don't understand either!
The height of the children, the shopkeeper and his wife actually don't need a ruler to measure how big they are, and they quickly choose for them. There are also underwear, cloth socks and shoes that wear underwear.
They also wrapped themselves in cotton cloth and let them carry them by themselves.
One by one, the body is dirty, and it must not be replaced like this.
"Little lady, but I don't have anything you like in my house?" The woman was busy with the small one here, and found that Hong Xiaoduo hadn't chosen it yet, so she stepped forward and asked.
"Auntie, you also saw it, I'm walking outside, and it's definitely inconvenient to wear a skirt, but I haven't seen anything similar to mine." Hong Xiaoduo said very directly.
When the woman heard this, she smiled: "Yes, yes, the little lady will come and see, but this style?" He led Hong Xiaoduo to the corner and asked.
Hong Xiaoduo reached out and took a look, not to mention, it was really what he wanted.
The cotton silk dark flower material, the snow blue top with the collar, and the bottom are loose neem bloomers, and the size and length are about the same.
"Auntie, that's it." Hong Xiaoduo is very satisfied, and it is much easier to choose shoes and socks and underwear.
Looking back at the little guys, each of them has a big cloth bag with a bulging bag, and they all purse their mouths, looking like they don't dare to laugh.
Hong Xiaoduo asked the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and she didn't plan to bargain with others, through the contact just now, it was already determined that the couple was not that kind of profiteer.
The shopkeeper took the abacus, crackled and operated, looked up and told her: "Little lady, it's three taels and eight dollars together, it's okay to charge the little lady three taels and six dollars if you buy so much?" ”
"Okay, then thank you shopkeeper." Hong Xiaoduo responded.
I also thought about it in my heart, one big and seven small, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, it only costs three, two or six dollars, which is too cheap. And it's not the cheapest material.
One tael of silver can be exchanged for ten pieces of silver, and one piece of silver is a hundred copper coins.
The shopkeeper's discount of two coins of silver, which is equivalent to a discount of two hundred copper coins, has asked Tianshu in the past two days, and the price of meat buns is two cents a piece. In other words, the shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop gave her a total discount of 200 Wen, that is, the children can eat 100 meat buns.
Hey, think about it, just now on the street, Kaiyang has been currying favor for so long, just for a penny!
"Excuse me, auntie, which inn in the town is better? I mean attitude, after all, we are. After paying the silver and putting away the loose silver that was recovered, Hong Xiaoduo remembered and asked.
"The shopkeepers of the three inns in the town are all very good, but you can stay in the little lady, I'm afraid they can't." The shopkeeper told.
Hong Xiaoduo was stunned: "Why?" ”
"Little lady, you must have a way to guide you when you go out, but a few of them shouldn't have it, right? In the inn, the store should be registered, and the government also checks it from time to time. The shopkeeper said again.
The heart said, in the end, he was young, and he probably didn't take this into account!
Lead? Hong Xiaoduo was a little dumbfounded, and vaguely remembered in his impression that Lu Yin seemed to be the pass of the ancients, and some places were ten miles away from home to the local yamen to open this kind of thing.
I don't seem to have found that thing on my body.,Seven small ones weren't needed originally.,Then now it's definitely not there at all.,What should I do......
