Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 44
Wu Youcai's purse is very delicate, inlaid with gold and silver threads, and has exquisite patterns.If you sell it, you can sell it for two taels of silver.

Huo Xi glanced back and forth, then poured out the contents.

The golden beans and silver beans fell out first. There were five gold beans for one tael, and eight broken silver beans for one tael.There are five silver bills of one hundred taels.

"Wow, is this gold? I've never seen gold!"

Yang Fu took a golden bean and turned it over in his hand, his eyes wide open.Very rare, he was lucky enough to touch gold!
"Give these golden beans to uncle."

Yang Fu burned his hand and threw it back: "No, Xi'er, you keep it."

Seeing that he really didn't want them, Huo Xi put them back into his purse: "Then I'll keep them first, and uncle can tell me what he wants to buy."

Yang Fu nodded happily: "Yeah." Looking at the papers again, "Xi'er, is this a bank note?"

"En." Huo Xi nodded, and taught him to read the bank notes and the words on them.

These days Yang Fu has already read some characters, but it will take some time before he can recognize the characters on the bank notes.

I am really lucky today, I was able to touch gold again, and saw silver bills again.I didn't even dare to think about it before.Yang Fu had a smile on his face.

"Uncle, can you hide what happened today from your parents?"

It's not that I can't say it, it's just that I don't know where to start.She went to steal Wu Youcai's purse because she was afraid that they would not like it.He was also afraid that Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai would show their traces.She wishes them well.

Yang Fu nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything. My mouth is tight."

"Thank you, Uncle. You are very kind, Uncle."

Yang Fu scratched his head, a little embarrassed.He must not tell his sister and brother-in-law.Not even in the dream.

"Uncle, let's go shopping."

"Okay." Yang Fu responded and pulled her up.

The two bought in the outer city, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, charcoal, clay oven, baking pan, iron pot, porcelain pot, rice wine, seasoning, wooden bowls, tubs, wooden plates, spoons and chopsticks, hemp rope, tarpaulin felt, windproof mast lamp, tung oil, candles ...

The two bought two baskets, one bamboo basket, which they carried and carried.

Panting, he returned to the outer city ferry.

Too tired.

Li Yi escorted them back to the ferry safely, looking at Huo Xi who was paralyzed on the shore, his heart ached.Still a child under the age of seven, the Zhang family is simply not human.

Shaking his head and sighing, he left.

Mu Yan listened to Li Yi's report with a gloomy expression.

These days, he has inquired about the situation of Zhang's family and Wu's natal family.Relying on his relative relationship with Zhang Fu's old lady, Wu climbed into Zhang Fu's bed during his wedding.The concubine's daughter was only one month younger than that little liar.

Wu's family is just a shabby household, and originally relied on Zhang's family to win the autumn wind.Now that Mrs. Wu has been righted, the whole family followed the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, and even Mrs. Wu's father was hired as a sixth-rank idle official.The family changed their appearance and became a family of officials and eunuchs.

Gee.

"Master, I found out, that Jinxiu workshop is the dowry of Mrs. Zhang's mother." Li Yi said.

The corner of Mu Yan's mouth twitched into a sneer.

"That Zhang Fu, Zhang Wenbi, fought fiercely, but the inner chamber was in a mess. He didn't even protect his dead wife's dowry. No wonder he aroused so much hatred from the little liar, and he wanted to take the risk to beat Wu Youcai."

"Master, if I see him next time, I'll help Miss Zhang beat him up too!" Kan Er was very angry when he heard this, and felt sorry for Huo Xi, he only felt that he beat Wu Youcai lightly today.

Mu Yan raised his eyelids, but didn't speak.

But Kan Er knew that the young master had acquiesced.Hmph, Wu Youcai, you'd better take more servants with you when you go out to the streets, otherwise the master will beat you every time he sees you!
Before sunset, Huo Erhuai came to pick up his uncle and nephew by boat.

Together with Mrs. Yang, they helped to move things onto the boat. Seeing the two children paralyzed on the boat, they were obviously very tired and distressed.

"Why do you buy so much? You are still young, how can you recite it? Let your father and brother-in-law recite it next time." Yang asked Huo Xi to lie on her stomach, and rubbed her body distressedly.

Yang Fu also leaned over: "Sister, I want it too."

"Rough skin and thick flesh, just rest for a while." Even though he said so, after kneading it for Huo Xi, he also kneaded it for Yang Fu.

Huo Xiping lay down, sighing in comfort, it's better to be on his own boat.

"Mom, where's Nian'er?"

"Asleep."

"Mom, did you buy any cloth today? What did you buy?"

"I have bought it. I have bought a lot. Your grandma Zhao took me to collect linen from door to door in the village. This time, my mother bought almost all Gema. I only bought five pieces of coarse linen and fine linen, and only cotton and cotton cloth. I bought three horses. It’s better to sell Ge Ma.”

"I also collected a lot of vegetables in the village with Grandma Zhao. Everyone is happy to sell them for money without going to the city. In the future, the sales will be good, and my mother will go to collect vegetables every day. Then Qianjin Village is big, there are more than three hundred almost every household has a loom.”

Huo Xi nodded as she listened: "Will Aunt Zhao accept the embroidered job?"

"Why don't you. We don't want any exquisite patterns, just embroider a few big characters of 'Huo Ji Water Grocery Store', add some embroidery patterns on the corners, and you can get a tael of silver. Your Aunt Zhao is very happy that we gave it to her Well, he said he could pick it up the day after tomorrow.”

"That's good."

"Your grandma Zhao heard that we were going to open a grocery store on the water, and she enthusiastically took her to the village and neighboring villages to find people who make wine, vinegar, and weave baskets and dustpans. They bought a lot of things, and they also gave us a lot of onion and garlic. .”

Yang's heart is very emotional, meeting a warm-hearted family.

"But the bacon salted duck, mother thought about it and didn't want it. I can cook bacon salted duck sauce duck style chicken. At that time, we only need to collect the meat in the village, take it back to the boat and cook it ourselves, and it can save a lot of money. Money. And we hang it on the boat to dry, so we can look at it at any time, which is very convenient.”

Listening to Yang's careful calculation, Huo Xi smiled.

Mrs. Yang is a good hand as a director.With her in charge, this family will get better and better.

Yang Shi told Huo Xi about today's events one by one. Now that she and Huo Erhuai have something to do, she also likes to hear Xi'er's opinion.Although the child was young, she had ideas, had more knowledge than them, and was able to read and write. They were willing to discuss with her when they encountered problems.

Huo Xiyuan responded with a few words from time to time, but gradually fell silent.

Yang Shi was arranging things, paused, glanced at her, saw that she was asleep, quickly took a quilt and covered her lightly.Looking again, Yang Fu also fell asleep.

Immediately, he looked at the uncle and nephew with some distress, and he didn't know why he went today, he was so tired.

Huo Xi slept until Mrs. Yang prepared dinner, and slept until Huo Erhuai rolled the boat back to Taoyedu.

"Yang Fu, Yang Fu, I'm still coming to sleep with you tonight!"

As soon as Qian Xiaoxia's voice sounded, Yang Fu hurriedly rolled over from his sleep.After hearing it clearly, I was so angry that I wanted to cover my head and continue to sleep, pretending that I couldn't hear.

Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoxia had already jumped onto the Huo family's boat and entered Yang Fu's cabin.

Yang Fu wanted him to keep his voice down, afraid that he would disturb Huo Xi, but Huo Xi woke up unexpectedly.
