Chapter 34
"Ok?"

Xu Baozhu concentrated her mind, waiting for his next words.

Zhu Yun cleared his throat, and said: "Actually, it's the lady of the county magistrate's family. If I want to hire someone to paint, I'll just go there."

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

Zhu Yun really didn't lie, he did help the county magistrate's lady paint, but it's just a coincidence, the real reason, it's not good to say, and it's not a good thing.

"In that case, why didn't you just explain it directly?" Xu Baozhu asked.

"I'm a girl, I'm afraid you'll think too much."

Xu Baozhu smiled, "You earn money with your own ability, what am I thinking about, you are so secretive, I suspect there is a ghost."

"Okay." Xu Baozhu shook the silver in his hand again, and said, "Since it's the right way to come, forget it, let's go to buy something and go to Brother A Cheng and the others."

"Ah."

It was a relief that Xu Baozhu didn't continue to ask questions.

The two went into several shops, bought some cakes, and bought a long-lived silver lock for the newborn Ah Qiu, and then returned to the shopping street. When they came back, the Qian brothers had sold all the skins. Right there waiting for them.

"All sold out?"

"Well, you don't know, Sister Baozhu, after you left, there is..." Qian Jin laughed happily, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Qian Cheng just in time.

Xu Baozhu glanced at the two of them, "What's the matter? Is there anything you can't say?"

Qian Cheng blushed and said nothing, Qian Jin whispered: "My brother is shy, don't let me speak."

He said that's what he said, but he still couldn't hold back the words that popped out of his mouth.

"After you left just now, I thought I couldn't sell it, so I hung the skin on my brother. Guess what, it was a coincidence. A woman happened to pass by and bought it, and asked Do we have any, and we said that if we have the goods in the future, we can give them to her."

"Good thing, there's nothing to say about it." Xu Baozhu looked at Qian Cheng, he was strong, his sleeveless arms were bulging with muscles, and his body was muscular, those leathers looked good on him, it was not like the human body Does it look like a model?
No wonder people like it.

Qian Cheng lowered his head, his face turned red like a pig's liver, and said in a low voice, "Ah Jin, stop talking!"

"It's okay, Brother Qian, this is a good thing." Xu Baozhu comforted: "Doesn't this just mean that you two have the right idea? If you keep leaving it like this, people don't know what's so good about our things. Someone bought it, right?"

"But……"

Qian Cheng felt that it was too disrespectful to hang things on himself in public and let others watch and choose like monkeys, and it insulted a man's dignity.

"Don't think too much." Xu Baozhu said, "Selling things is the most important thing, isn't it?"

While speaking, there was a rush of voices, and several people looked back, it was her cousin Xu Huai.

"It's fine if you don't leave."

Xu Huai was out of breath when he spoke, his head was covered with sweat, and he seemed to be running all the way.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Xu Huai took out the neatly wrapped handkerchief from his pocket with trembling hands, "This is a little gift from my father to Ah Qiu, please help me take it back to him."

Xu Baozhu took it and opened it up little by little. Inside was a silver bracelet for a baby.

"and this."

Xu Huai took out another handkerchief and said, "I paid some wages in advance to the shopkeeper, please help me take it back to your sister-in-law."

He glanced at several people, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Don't let my mother know."

Seeing this, Xu Baozhu understood.

This eldest brother's house is the housekeeper of the uncle Liu's housekeeper. The daughter-in-law here is restricted everywhere and has no real rights. Usually, she has to go through Liu's for everything. If she wants to buy things, she has to go through Liu's hands to get the money, but There will always be a lot of unnecessary abuse and accusations.

He feels sorry for his wife.

Xu Baozhu was moved, "Okay, don't worry big brother, I will definitely hand them over to my sister-in-law, you have a heart."

"It's troublesome." Xu Huai said: "Your sister-in-law is at home, there must be a lot of inconvenience, and now there is Ah Qiu, it is even more difficult, brother can't go back here, if possible, I would like to invite you and ..."

He glanced at Zhu Yun, "Please help me and Brother Yun, and take care of me."

"Well, I will."

……

After bidding farewell to Xu Huai, a few people went to the stall to eat a bowl of plain noodles, and left the city while the city gate was still open.

"Let's hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to go back until late at night." Qian Jin said looking at the sun.

Xu Baozhu looked at Zhu Yun, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Zhu Yun raised his foot, as if to prove himself, "It's no problem."

"Well, let's go then."

Several people subconsciously quickened their pace, but after all the journey was very long. When they returned home, it was already dark. The old man Xu went home from a doctor’s visit, but no one came back. He couldn’t sit still anxiously, so he came to the village to wait. .

Xu Baozhu saw dots of light sources at the head of the village from a distance, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but feel hot, and ran over.

"Father!"

"I'm back." Seeing the person standing in front of him, Old Man Xu heaved a sigh of relief, stroked her messy temples affectionately, and said with concern: "How about it, I told you not to go, I'm so tired Alright."

"No, it's all right." Xu Baozhu smiled, and took his hand, "I've gained a lot from this trip, and I'll tell you when I get home."

"it is good."

Xu Baozhu and the Qian family brothers separated at the entrance of the village and went back to their respective homes.

After entering the door and lighting the oil lamp, Xu Baozhu took out the silver from his pocket and handed it to the old man Xu, saying: "Brother Yun and I earned it today, he took 15 taels, my goods, sell them I paid a good price, 20 taels, we bought some pens and ink, some food, and this..."

She showed the hairpin of Bingti Furong to old man Xu, "I bought another hairpin, so I spent a lot of money, and this is all I have left."

The old man Xu weighed the money, it was at least 20 taels, if given to him, the old man might not be able to earn that much in a year.

However, he didn't doubt the reason. From his point of view, his daughter was already a capable person. After being ill, her mind became more active, and it was no exception that she could earn a lot. As for this fake son-in-law...

At first glance, he is a clever person, and someone who can read and hyphenate characters must be better than him, a villager who guards the Sophora Flower Village.

He felt nothing but relief at the sight of so much money.

His daughter has really grown up.

The old man Xu handed over the money to the man, and said: "You are married now, and you earned the money yourself, so keep it well. If you need something, then it will be easy to do things."

Xu Baozhu thought about it, took out two liang of silver from it, and said: "I'll just keep this little, usually there's nothing I need to do in the village, and I won't accept anything else, otherwise you see me and Brother Yun, There is no limit to spending money, this little money, in our hands, will be over sooner or later."

Old man Xu looked at Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun nodded with a smile, "Yes, father, just keep it."

"Hey." Old man Xu stuffed the silver into his pocket happily, and said, "If you need anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you."

"Ah."

After explaining, Xu Baozhu led Zhu Yun into the house.

Today he has been trying to be brave, the injury must not be good, she has to take a good look at it.
