Chapter 79

Chen Shouxing weighed the one tael of silver in his hand and put it into his arms after a while.

"Mr. Chen, have you finished copying the book?" It was an uncle wearing a blue padded jacket.

Chen Shouxing raised his head and replied, "Okay!"

With that said, he turned around and took out a few books from the bookcase, and handed them to him, "Uncle Yang, take a look, is there any problem?"

Uncle Yang picked up a few books and flipped through them a few times. The fonts were neat, the ink smelled good, and the paper felt good. He nodded in satisfaction, took out the money from his pocket, and paid for the books.

Chen Shouxing squeezed the more than 100 coins he got. Although ordering and copying books was not as good as selling books, the income was not bad and he could continue to work.

He looked at the sky, closed the stall, first went to the powder store to buy a box of noodle fat and pig pancreas soap, then went to the market to buy two chickens, and spent nine cents to buy ten yuan of tofu at the tofu shop , I went to the butcher shop again, and asked for three catties of pork, a pair of large and small intestines and a few pig bones.

……

There were too many things to take, so I bought a bamboo basket from an uncle for thirty yuan.

Then he went back to the gate of the county seat and saw Chen Shouye had been waiting there for a long time.

Chen Shouxing thought, it seems that the second brother didn't find any work today.

Chen Shouye saw that he had bought so many things, so he didn't ask much. The weather was too cold, and the fifth brother went to the county to write letters for him. Instead of one day, he went every three to five days. These things should be from the fifth brother's house for a few days. eat.

After more than half an hour, Chen Shoushan arrived late with his donkey cart.

Chen Shouye lifted the bamboo basket first, and Chen Shouxing carried two roosters with tied feet, and they got into the donkey cart.

Seeing that they were all seated, Chen Shoushan waved his whip, and while driving the donkey, he said, "The place where the last customer needs to move things is a bit far away, so there was a delay."

Chen Shouxing nodded. The fourth brother now uses a donkey cart to pull things for people in the county, and the money he earns is shared equally between them.

As soon as I got home, I smelled the fragrance wafting in the yard and knew that dinner was almost ready.

Chen Shouxing untied the rooster first, put it into the chicken coop, then picked up the bamboo basket and went back to the room.

When Zhao Miaomiao saw him coming in, she reached out to take off his coat.

Chen Shouxing took off his gloves, shook his head and said, "Don't take off your clothes yet, I have to go out later."

Zhao Miaomiao took back her hand and poured him a bowl of water, which was cooked in time for his return. The water was still scalding and smoking.

Chen Shouxing held the bowl and warmed his hands, but when his fat son didn't see him, he asked, "Where's Ruirui, the little fat man?"

Zhao Miaomiao pointed to the opposite side and said, "Ruirui should be practicing calligraphy, little fat..."

Thinking of how Little Pangdun was dipping a brush in water and trying to scribble on the table, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Jin Bao is writing on the table with a brush in water, and Pangdun is also writing with a brush, I miss you later Look, what did your son draw?"

Little Fatty is so old, I'm afraid he can't even hold the pen steady, what he can write, it must be scribbles, Chen Shouxing's mouth curled up, and his mood became better.

Zhao Miaomiao blinked, her eyes fell on the basket, and asked doubtfully, "Did you buy this bamboo basket?"

Chen Shouxing took a sip of water and did not reply. He smiled and talked to her about today's events, and gave her a tael of silver in his arms.

Zhao Miaomiao was frightened when she heard this. She stared at the two taels of silver with lowered eyebrows. She knew that her husband was safe, which was already a great blessing. Mrs. Qi was kind-hearted to be compensated with the silver. She understood the truth, but she couldn't help but feel angry. Very angry.

Flying disaster!If it wasn't for my husband's cleverness, I'm afraid I'd be framed in prison. Mrs. Qi seemed to be comforting others, but she didn't say a word of apology. One tael of money was not too much, and it happened that Young Master Qi smashed her husband's money and scolded her. Xianggong is only worth the price.

In the final analysis, they have no status, so they can do whatever they want!

Chen Shouxing pinched her angry face with his hand, and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, why are you angry? Your husband is very smart. If Master Qi makes such a fuss every time, I can get a tael of silver. The God of Wealth comes to make trouble every day."

Zhao Miaomiao's swollen face suddenly leaked, Shen Wei said, "Sir, don't make jokes, just make me happy, we don't want the money you gamble with your life!"

Seeing how serious his daughter-in-law is, why is she so cute, Chen Shouxing laughed and said, "I have nothing to do with Mrs. Qi, after this time, I'm afraid Young Master Qi won't bother me anymore, so the money can only be earned once." .”

Zhao Miaomiao glared at him, and snorted, "We don't want to earn this money! Then Young Master Qi better get away, don't come to trouble you, Mrs. Qi, if you can, then Mrs. Qi should get away too! "

Chen Shouxing covered her hand and said softly, "Don't be angry, wife! Look, I'm taking good care of myself. I was frightened a lot today, but it's not without gain."

Zhao Miaomiao thought he was talking about money, and the anger she was holding in her heart became even worse.

Chen Shouxing touched her and frowned and said, "There were many high-ranking officials in the ancestors of the Qi family, and the grandfather of Young Master Qi's deceased father was also a scholar. There must be a lot of treasured books in the house, and they can't be bought outside. Of course, we may not be able to afford it..."

Zhao Miaomiao raised her eyes and understood what he was thinking.

Chen Shouxing continued, "I have never met Young Master Qi before, and there is nothing about us that can make me befriend someone like him, but today's incident gave me some hope. Although Young Master Qi is very smart and calculating, but I care about Mrs. Qi very much. As long as I keep in touch with Mrs. Qi, I am not afraid that I will not be able to get in touch with him. As for whether I will make friends with him, I am not sure, but in exchange with him, I will leave a few books that are helpful for the imperial examination from him to copy. It's still possible!"

After all, Young Master Qi doesn't have much money in his hand, otherwise he would be so stupid as to go to Mrs. Qi's Ruyi Building to meet him. Isn't this doing bad things in front of people's eyes!Of course, Young Master Qi may also have the intention of testing Mrs. Qi.

But judging by the way he spends money, he must be poor. He just throws away a tael of silver, and he won't even add a little bit of money, and he can't pick it up like this!
Thinking of this, Chen Shouxing couldn't help laughing, "Daughter-in-law, that Young Master Qi had the nerve to throw out my clothes. He couldn't even pay for a meal, and he didn't take a bite of the good food on the table, so he returned it. Fortunately, it was his mother The restaurant, otherwise he would have been sent to the government!"

The corners of Zhao Miaomiao's mouth twitched, this young master Qi is also a strange person.

After talking about this, Chen Shouxing took out the flour fat and pig pancreas soap from his arms and gave her, and then took out the things in the bamboo basket, "These glued dates and pears are for the children to make snacks, and let's keep two pieces of tofu and freeze them outside." Eat tomorrow."

A pound of jujubes costs ten cents. This small and cheap pear only costs ten cents per catty. She has seen pears that are almost as big as the mouth of a bowl, and they cost fifty cents per catty.

Zhao Miaomiao nodded, took the things and put them away.

Chen Shouxing hung the pork outside, lifted the basket and said, "I'll take the remaining tofu, pig intestines and bones to my mother."

Zhao Miaomiao stood by the door and answered.

Chen Shouxing carried the things to Mrs. Chen.
