peasant queen

Chapter 34

Old man Chen came to the field of Ma'er's family and saw that there was no one there.

But there are two wooden buckets and a pole in the field, presumably Ma Er used to carry water to irrigate the field.

Seeing the tools in the field, old man Chen guessed that Ma Er was still in the field, so he searched nearby.

Sure enough, by the river not far away, I saw Ma Er grilling fish there.

Seeing old man Chen coming, Ma Er waved to him and said, "Uncle Chen is here! Come and eat grilled fish, it's delicious!"

Old man Chen came to Ma Er and said, "Don't eat, come to live."

"Great, I finally have work to do. Recently, I have been forced by my mother to do farm work at home every day. I am almost exhausted and can't earn any money."

"Okay, stop complaining. Hurry up and pack up your things and follow me, the target has already gone out." Old Man Chen urged.

"Come here!" Ma Er said while stuffing the fish into his mouth, almost got stuck by the fishbone.

After finally getting the fishbone stuck in his throat out, he threw the fish into the fire without even eating it.

Then, quickly put out the fire on the ground, and threw the eaten fish bones into the ashes.Then he left with old man Chen.

When passing by the field, I did not forget to take back the wooden bucket that carried the water.

Old man Chen hurried to the town with Ma Er, and found that Jiang Wan had already entered the dim sum shop.

Old man Chen just wanted to follow, but Ma Er stopped him and said, "Uncle Chen, don't worry.

You watch her here first, don't let her run away.I'm going to get something from my friend. "

"Take something? What are you taking?" Old man Chen asked in confusion.

"Don't ask what it is, anyway, it's a good thing." After saying that, Ma Er left.

Jiang Wan came to the town to see her uncle first, and gave him some pickles and seasonings from home.

The seasoning was given to the master of the academy, and the pickles were given to Jiang Chengshan.After seeing her uncle, Jiang Wan came to the town to do some shopping.

The first thing I came to was the snack shop. There are not only snacks in this shop, but also sweets.

It is cheap and good, and the villagers around here like to come here when they come to the town, and they will buy something to go back.

Jiang Wan bought four catties of snacks and ten catties of candies.The prices she bought were all average. After all, the quantity was so large, she would be reluctant to buy all the expensive ones.

Besides, she didn't have much money with her, so she had to save some money.

After Jiang Wan bought sweets and snacks, she went to the grain store to buy ten catties of brown rice and ten catties of black noodles.There are more people in the family, and the food consumption is also fast.

Seeing that the money in her pocket was getting less and less, Jiang Wan felt a little impatient.

This money is really worthless. A few days ago, she was a little rich woman with several thousand taels of silver.

It's only been a few days!He didn't even have five taels of silver on him, only two taels of broken silver, and dozens of copper plates.

No, I have to find a way to earn money quickly.If things go on like this, the family will return to the days before, when they ate their last meal and never finished their next meal.

I bought food, but I didn't have any money on me.Jiang Wan couldn't bear to spend any more money on a horse-drawn cart to transport food.

In the end, Jiang Wan had no choice but to walk back slowly with food and snacks on her shoulders.

These things don't feel heavy when you just carry them, but after walking for a while, they don't feel heavy.Jiang Wan felt like a donkey carrying cotton across the river was getting heavier and heavier.

Not long after leaving the town, Jiang Wan felt very tired.Just about to stop and look around, if no one was there, she would put these things into the space.

It's a pity that before she put down her things, a person walked by and sprinkled a handful of powder on her.Then, Jiang Wan fainted.

Seeing Jiang Wan fell to the ground, old man Chen stepped forward and kicked Jiang Wan and said, "I'm really dizzy? I didn't expect your friend to have such a good thing.

Just like that, it makes people dizzy.Ma Er, can you give me some of this drug? "

"You want it too? But this thing is inconvenient. This is a new drug that my friend spent a lot of money on, and the effect is better than ordinary drugs.

If you really want me, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price. Who told you to be my uncle! "Ma Er picked up Jiang Wan who was on the ground and said.

Old man Chen also consciously picked up the things on the ground, followed behind Ma Er and asked, "How much money?"

"12 taels, that's the price my friend gave me, and you won't earn a single copper coin. Uncle!" Ma Er said as he walked.

"Ten... 12 taels?"

This price frightened old man Chen, not to mention 12 taels on his body, he was reluctant to take out even [-] taels.

After finishing speaking, old man Chen kept silent and followed Ma Er silently.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ma Er didn't say anything.Who doesn't want good things, the key is whether they can afford the money?

Ma Er carried Jiang Wan to the only child in the town, who was familiar with the way.

On the surface, this shop is an ordinary shop, and the sellers are ordinary poor people.

But they will secretly take some beautiful women to Fucheng, and sell them to those rich families as concubines or something.

Sometimes, those who look particularly good will be sold to Hualou, so that they can sell more money.

Ma Er came to the back door of a family and knocked on the door three times.Then the door opened, and a man's head stuck out, saying, "What's the matter?"

"Brother, I'm here to find Grandma Hu, please pass on my message." As he said, Ma Er took out ten copper coins from his pocket and put them in his hand.

The man looked at the copper plate in his hand, and then at Ma Er.I saw a girl on his shoulders, she seemed to be dizzy, her hair was loose, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

The man thought that Jiang Wan was Ma Er's younger sister or something, after all, there were a lot of selling sisters and such.

Most of them are to make money for their brothers, or they are all to support the brothers in the family.

If the family is very poor and wants to get married or something.Not to mention sisters, even widowed aunts and aunts can sell them.It's not like this happened before.

After the man glanced at it, he didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Wait." After speaking, he closed the door again.

The old man Chen, who was following Ma Er, approached carefully and said, "Ma Er, is this babe reliable! Will you accept the goods and not give me money?"

"Don't worry! This baby shop has been in the town for so many years and is a very trustworthy person. As long as she likes it, she will pay any amount of money.

What I'm afraid of is that I don't like it. In that case, it's useless to ask for it. "Ma Er said confidently.

After hearing Ma Er's words, old man Chen felt relieved.He said twice: "That's good, that's good."

After a while, the door opened again.It was the same man just now, and he said to Ma Er: "Come in! Our little girl is not in a good mood recently, so be careful what you say."

"Yes yes yes!" Ma Erlian replied.

The man opened the whole door so that Ma Er could carry the man in.Old man Chen, who was following behind, saw it and walked in.

The man looked at him and didn't stop him.After they all came in, the door was closed.

Ma Er walked into the courtyard with Jiang Wan on his shoulders, when a maid stepped forward and said to him, "Come with me! The master is waiting in the side hall."

Following the servant girl to the side hall, Ma Er saw that Granny Hu was sitting on the upper chair drinking fragrant tea.

There is also a beautiful woman beside him, fanning him from time to time.
