Jin Xi sized up Hong Shi a few times, secretly surprised.

Liang Lihui, however, is a white-faced scholar, although he can't be said to be a beautiful tree, but he is also tall and thin.

His fiancée, Hong Shi, said in the Geng post that Chang Liang Lihui was three years old, and the old Liang Tou also said that the female junior was holding a gold brick, but Hong Shi was born with this appearance. It looks like 21 six.

She was wearing a brand-new red skirt and jacket, her face was powdered, and her eyebrows were carefully painted, but they still didn't look tender.

Moreover, Jin Xi also noticed Hong's gaze, from the moment she entered the door, she sneaked a glance at Liang Lihui no less than three times.

The old Liang's family moved to Jinjishan Village later, and they were the only family with the surname Liang in the village, so it could be said that they had no clan members in the village.

So he invited old Liangtou in the village, the daughters-in-law and girls from the old brother's family who were close friends, to come over to accompany him.

There are two tables for banquets, the men's table is placed in the back hall of the front room, and the women's table is placed in the backyard dining hall.

The dishes are in Jinjishan area, the usual dishes for banquets, the first one is the glutinous rice balls sprinkled with black sesame seeds, followed by the local specialties meatballs and patties, followed by vegetarian stir-fried meat and cold soup desserts The two pheasants sent by Sun Erhu were stewed with dried mushrooms and peppers, and made into two game pots, which became a highlight of the banquet.

The last dish for pressing the tail must be deep-fried small fish nuggets.

The dishes at the two tables were exactly the same, the only difference was that the men at the table drank shochu, while the women at the back drank sweet rice wine.

During the banquet, Mrs. Tan was also busy receiving some women from the same village who came to accept the lottery.Those women's families are all friends with Lao Liang's family, or they are neighbors.

Nacai has almost the same things, six eggs and a handkerchief.Mrs. Tan accepted the prized gifts and gave them a handful of maltose in return.

The eggs and handkerchiefs that were delivered had to be gathered into baskets, covered with red cloth, and when Hong's group returned, they had to be taken away!

So far, Liang Hong and his family have officially become related by marriage.

Liang Yuzhong had already told Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Tan about Mrs. Sun's illness.After seeing off the Hong family, Liang Yuzhong went to Tan's house in the afternoon, waiting for Tan to give him a gift for a relative who was away.

Liang Yuzhong and the others hadn't returned to Sunjiagou for three years. Mrs. Tan picked out ten small eggs from the eggs she picked during the day and asked Mrs. Sun to take them to Sunjiagou.

Liang Yuzhong took those eggs, and he didn't know how to tell Mrs. Sun in distress.After begging and begging, it was Lao Liang who finally spoke, and Tan opened the cage again, took a bag of maltose and a bag of dried dates, and sent Liang Yuzhong out of the house.

"Mother, don't worry, we still have fifty cents in our hands." Jin Xi comforted Sun.

Over the past dynasties, the prices of each period have varied widely. Due to the different times and regions,
The purchasing power of silver is also very different.

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, Princess Taiping once slipped out to play and ate six taels of silver for a meal.During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there were some prosperous shops in the Huguang area, and they could not make a net profit of two or three taels a month.

In order to know more about the price level of this era, Liang Yuzhong went to the town to sell the little pheasant yesterday, and Jin Xi followed.

After wandering around the market for an entire day to inquire, Jin Xi also figured out some purchase matters.

In this area of ​​this era, one tael of silver is worth one thousand Wen, or a penny.

Two pennies can buy a large steamed stuffed bun with thin skin and meat filling.

"Let dad come to the town again later. Let's sell a catty of pork for forty renminbi, and with the remaining ten renminbi, I can bring five thin-skinned meat stuffed buns to Granny to try something new!"

"Your granny loves fried dough sticks."

"Okay, then let dad buy fried dough sticks, the ones just caught in the oil pan, you can buy five sticks too!" Jin Xi excitedly said.

The gloom on Sun's face dissipated.

It was just dawn the next day, Sun's wife and three were already fully dressed, and Lao Liangtou and Tan were still sleeping, so they didn't kowtow to say goodbye to them.

In three steps, Niang came to the twisted door of the front house. On the bluestone road, Liang Yuzhong was pulling an ox cart. The ox was borrowed from someone in the village yesterday.

The so-called harnessing means that the ox and the wooden cart carrying people and goods are tightly harnessed together.

This section of the journey was bumpy, and some straw was padded on the car to make it more comfortable to sit on.

Sunjiagou and Laoliang's house are separated by the Jinji Mountain behind, and they go around the side of the willow forest into Shanchong, and they can reach it after turning over a mountain.

There are hills and plains in this area. Although the hills are not too steep, it is not easy to drive a bullock cart over the hills.As soon as Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun made up their minds, they took the smoother road. Although there were many twists and turns, it was still early in the day, and it was estimated that they could arrive at Sunjiagou at noon.

This is the first time Jin Xi has left Lao Liang's house since she came to this era, and she feels naturally happy.

Jin Rou was in Sun's arms all the way, chattering about Ga Po's house, Ga Po's house, like an excited little sparrow.Mrs. Sun was obviously relaxed, but also a little anxious and expectant.

Jin Xi sat holding the handles on both sides of the cart, looking at the scenery along the mountain road.Because it is autumn, the scenery is a bit bleak.

The wheels of the wheel crush the thick withered grass, making a soft sound, and the thorns and dead vines on the side of the road will catch the sleeves and hair inadvertently.The maple leaves in the mountains turned red, and the pine hairs also turned red. When the mountain wind blew, the pine hairs fell thickly to the ground.

The mountain is very quiet and deep, and occasionally a few birds pass by.The sound of the ox's hooves kicking, the creaking of the wooden wheels, and the family's talking and laughing echoed in the mountains in the morning.

"Xi'er, Rou'er, we're almost at Granny Ga's house, it's time to wake up."

Jinxi vaguely felt Sun Shi gently calling her to push her, Jinxi opened her eyes, only to realize that Sun Shi was holding her with one arm, and Jinrou with the other, Liang Yuzhong also turned his head and looked at the pair with a smile. Sleeping daughter.

The big jacket he put on when he went out had already covered the two sisters, and the two sisters fell asleep on the road at some point.

Jin Xi stretched her waist, sat up straight, looked around, there were still mountains on several sides, but in front of her was a well-trimmed and flat path that meandered to a village.Jin Xi looked up at the setting sun. At this time, the cooking smoke in the village must be cooking lunch, right?

The bullock cart continued to move forward, and the road was basically no longer bumpy. At the entrance of the village, a half-person-high stone tablet was erected in the dry grass, with the words "Sunjiagou" engraved on it.The body of the stele is not old, so it must have been erected together when the road was repaired, right?

A few snot-nosed children in slit trousers were laughing and joking around the stele, and when they saw Jin Xi and the others' ox cart, they all opened their eyes and looked curiously at the person from outside the mountain.
