I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 96 Survival in the Wilderness
Li Xiuju stared at Baoyu's frizzy look, fearing that he would get too excited and drop the bowl, "Chen Yu, brother is fooling around, why can't you clear it up? Jixiang Tower is where dignitaries go, we spend that unjust What’s the money for?”

It was not easy for Zhou Chenyu to earn these three taels of silver. She knew that Li Xiuju felt bad that the money was not used wisely, but who told her that she had traveled through time?

Only the combination of work and rest agrees with her ideas!
Zhou Chenyu reasoned with the old lady seriously, "Old lady, from selling sugar water to working in the Tang Mansion, I have earned more than three taels of silver in the past few months. A meal costs several hundred cash, and I still have a lot of money." There is a lot left. After being tired for so long, let’s have a good meal together to reward ourselves, so that we can have the strength to work until autumn and winter, right? And there is still half a year before the Chinese New Year. Baoyu and I will definitely be able to spend that money Earn it back.”

Baoyu also agreed, "That's right! My sister has such a bright mind. In a while, I will also go hunting in the mountains! If I am lucky enough to encounter a wild boar, I will earn back my money in a few clicks."

Both children said that they must go to Jixiang Tower.No matter how much Li Xiuju felt sorry for Yinzi, she didn't want to dampen her children's interest. She doted on her and said, "Okay, okay, let's go to Jixiang Tower!"

With God's blessing, the mother and son said they were going to Jixianglou for dinner. The sun came out when they got together early the next morning.

After breakfast, Li Xiuju turned around and entered the room, put on her best clothes, combed her hair and asked nervously: "Baoyu, Chenyu, is this okay for me?"

When Li Xiuju was at home, her clothes were covered with pudding. She looked like she had worn them for many years. There were too many chores and her hair was messy because of her busy schedule. She was like a microcosm among thousands of mothers.

Today is a rare trip to town, so naturally I have to dress up.

Baoyu had a big heart and replied blankly: "Mom, we are not going to be thieves when we go to the city to eat out, so why can't we do it?"

Zhou Chenyu knocked the jade, turned to look at Li Xiuju, and smiled cutely: "Yeah, it looks good. She looks more than ten years younger. This is how she should dress up."

Her affirmation made Li Xiuju sweeter than eating honey, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Well, let's go to the market. Mom has a lot of things to buy!"

Huang Dou stayed at home and locked the door. Before leaving, he made sure that the chickens and ducks were closed, and then the three of them slowly went out.

This time, the market day coincided with the end of farm work. Along the way, I met many people from surrounding villages and towns who were traveling with me, including many people Li Xiuju knew.

They saw that Li Xiuju was full of energy, much better than Zhou Wenbin's haggard appearance when he was ill, and couldn't help but feel happy for her, "Xiuju, are you going to the city with your children to go to the market?"

Li Xiuju saw an acquaintance, walked over with a limp, and said with a smile: "Yes, the rain has stopped today. I am idle at home, so why not go to the market to buy some things."

The woman laughed again, "I heard that your family Chen Yu has a good mind and Bao Yu has great strength. The two of them are not only engaged in the sugar water business, but can also take over the work of a wealthy family. Your two children are doing well! Unlike our family Those few only make me angry!"

There is no reason for a mother to be unhappy when her child is praised. Li Xiuju couldn't help but smile, "Everything is fine, everything is fine."

The family has saved some money in the past few months, so they don't have to go hungry. Li Xiuju chatted with several women along the way, smiling and talking more than usual.

The group of people walked into the city talking and laughing. It was not yet lunch time. They first went to the silver jewelry shop to buy an exquisite silver lock. Although the silver lock was not more valuable than jade or gold, its own value plus the artificial engraving , the whole set cost nearly two hundred coppers.

After buying the silver lock, I went to the cloth store and bought two pieces of the cheapest coarse cloth for [-] yuan.Summer is coming to an end, and I don’t know when autumn will begin, and I have to go hunting in the mountains. The temperature in the mountains is colder than down below, so wear more thick clothes to be prepared.

After coming out of the cloth shop, they walked to Jixiang Tower.

Jixianglou is indeed the best restaurant in Qingshui Town. With it standing there, the surrounding restaurants and food stalls have become more crowded.When Zhou Wenbin was there, Baoyu also went to school for several years and learned a few words. He looked at the three characters "Jixianglou" and said with a proud smile: "Jixianglou, oh my, I didn't expect that I can eat in a place like this." .”

Zhou Chenyu just couldn't see his proud look and poured cold water on it: "Seeing how excited you are, let me see how delicious it is."

Baoyu snorted coldly, "We'll see, it must be good."

The sister and brother were bickering and forgot to block the door. Li Xiuju pulled them aside. A woman with a beautiful appearance and wisdom stepped forward. As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhou Chenyu lost his appetite.

The woman threw out the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, covered her mouth and nose, and looked at them disdainfully, "Nowadays, the price of this Jixiang Tower has really dropped, and anyone can come here. If it weren't for the plaque above the head with the three words "Jixiang Tower" engraved on it, Damn, I thought I was going to some remote country?"

There are a few of them standing at the door, shouldn't we just talk about them?

Baoyu frowned angrily, "How can a woman like you speak like this?!"

Li Xiuju knew that Baoyu was young and impulsive, so she held him tightly, "Baoyu, don't cause trouble."

The woman glanced at the mother and son, her eyes full of contempt, and she did not feel that what she just said was inappropriate at all.

Zhou Chenyu looked lazy, imitating her sinister tone, and spoke slowly: "It's not for any other reason. I just saw you here and thought the food in the restaurant should be cheap, so we came here with confidence. of."

Is she expensive?
"You!" The woman saw Zhou Chenyu's sneer, and the blood rushed to her neck with anger.

But she knew that she was the one who started the trouble, and she met a powerful opponent. She was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so she pretended to put on a bad face and left.

Baoyu clapped her hands and applauded, "Sister, you are so powerful, you sent her away with just one sentence!"

Li Xiuju also gave Zhou Chenyu a thumbs up, "Chen Yu, well done!"

Zhou Chenyu raised the corners of his lips, and his open smile was as bright as a camellia in full bloom. It was so beautiful that it couldn't be better. "Come on, let's go to a restaurant!"

"Let's go to the restaurant!"

After the three of them entered, the curtain of the carriage parked opposite Jixiang Building had not been lowered for a long time. The scene of the beauty's smiling face stayed in Qian Rushan's mind for a long time and could not forget, "Why didn't I realize that this girl was so good-looking before? I Could it be that I'm blind? Isn't the beauty right next to me?"

The attendant remembered Zhou Chenyu's fierce and fierce appearance several times, and still trembled with fear, "Sir, she is just a vulgar country girl, how can she compare to the lady in your house?"

"What do you know?"

Qian Rushan straightened the clothes on his chest, opened the car door, jumped out of the carriage without saying a word, and prepared to go to Jixiang Tower to meet the beauty.
