Chapter 105

"What are you going to buy?" Bai Jinli couldn't help being curious.

"I just... just want to buy some candles for my mother, she often secretly embroiders at night, using oil lamps.

The oil lamps and candles are small, and I am afraid that my mother's eyes will be sore and tired after a long time. "Bai Meng thought about it, but said it truthfully.

Her mother also told her that the things she embroidered were all sold by the sister-in-law, so the sister-in-law must know about this, so there is no need to hide it.

"You are a filial child, how about it, I will go with you." Bai Jinli couldn't help but praise her.

Bai Meng and Bai Moli obviously live in the same family, but their conduct is completely different.

Bai Meng is understanding, considerate, knows how to love others, and never complains.

On the other hand, Bai Jasmine complained all day long, blaming others for all bad things.

They are all human, so why is there such a big difference?

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Bai Meng thanked her.

"Well, let's go."

Speaking of which, they rarely use lamps in the countryside, because the oil lamps they use also need to waste oil.

The oil of the lamp oil is squeezed from the fruit of the "tung tree" tree, and it is placed in the lamp pan, and then two or three rushes are placed, and the grass is pulled outside the lamp pan to light it up.

But the flame of the oil lamp is not big, only the flame of a bean, which will naturally consume the eyes after using it for a long time.

Candles are much more useful than oil lamps, but they are expensive, and ordinary country people are not willing to waste this money.

Even if you buy it back, you will keep it at home. Under normal circumstances, you are not willing to use it.

After the three of them arrived at a grocery store, Bai Meng politely and shyly asked about the shopkeeper.

"Hello, do you have any candles in your store? How do you sell them?"

"Candles? Which one do you want? Red or white? Thicker or thinner? How many do you want?" The fat shopkeeper looked up at the three of them and asked casually.

"How do you sell the red ones? What's the price for the white ones?"

"Twenty characters in red, eighteen characters in white, 25 characters in red and 22 characters in white."

The shopkeeper was not impatient, and told them in detail.

"Sister, I still have the twelve coins from my sister-in-law, all for you." Hearing this, Bai Mo quickly took out the twelve coins he had saved up.

"Mo'er..." Bai Meng was a little relieved, but also a little embarrassed to accept the money that Bai Mo handed over.

"Sister, take it, that's our mother." Bai Mo pushed the private money that he finally got over without any regrets.

"En." Bai Meng touched Bai Mo's head with a gentle expression after taking it.

Then he took out her 24 Wen coins from her body, collected a total of [-] Wen coins and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"Hello, we only have 24 Wen in total, can you sell me a thicker red candle for a cheaper price, please!"

"This... girl, our store is also doing small business, how can you bargain with me like this?" The shopkeeper frowned slightly.

"Uncle the shopkeeper, you seem to be a good man at first glance, so you can sell it to my sister for 24 coins." Bai Mo's big dark and bright eyes were full of prayers.

"Okay, just treat me as a good person once." The shopkeeper nodded, took Bai Meng's money, took a thicker red candle and handed it over.

"Thank you uncle shopkeeper, you are very kind." The two took the candle and looked at it for a while, then thanked the shopkeeper with beaming faces.

"Hehe, if you want to buy something next time, come here again."

"Yeah." The two nodded.

Bai Jinli watched from the side, without interfering too much.

The two of them are always going to grow up, and as long as there is no problem, she is happy to watch the two of them grow up by themselves.

As for the candles, Bai Meng and Bai Mo can buy them for Mrs. Zhang, and so can she.

She shared so much of Zhang's money for selling embroidered handkerchiefs, and it is also appropriate to reciprocate and buy something to give back to her.

After the three of them had left the door, Bai Jinli said that she suddenly wanted to go shopping, and asked the two of them to stand still and wait for her.

Then she went back to the store, bought ten of the same red candles at the same price of 24 Wen, and hid them away.

"Let's go, I have to go to Zhong Lingxiufang, you come with me."

"Yeah." Bai Meng and Bai Mo followed closely.

When approaching Zhongling Embroidery Workshop, Bai Jinli saw a man selling candied haws, so he simply stopped him and bought five bunches.

Handed Bai Meng and Bai Mo each a skewer, ate one skewer by themselves, and wrapped up the other two skewers.

When Bai Meng and Bai Mo ate candied haws for the first time, they were both excited and delighted, but Bai Jinli, who looked at them cautiously, felt sad again.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, you are so kind to us now."

The two thanked each other, shared one piece and wrapped the other one, planning to go back and give Mrs. Zhang a taste.

When they arrived at Zhong Ling Embroidery Workshop, Bai Jinli saw Mrs. Zhong Ling and called out to her, and saw Mrs. Zhong Ling greet her with a face full of joy.

"Miss Bai, you are here. I have been looking forward to you for a long time."

"Hey, who are these two?"

"They are my niece and nephew. One is Bai Meng and the other is Bai Mo." Bai Jinli explained.

"Hi, I'm the shopkeeper of this store, come in and sit down. Come on, put down the basket first, it's so heavy." Mrs. Zhong Ling greeted them warmly.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhong Ling." The two thanked them flattered, and walked in.

"Come on, you must have worked hard, have a sip of tea, here are some dried fruits and snacks, come and try them all."

Mrs. Zhong Ling greeted the three of them to sit in the resting place beside them, and enthusiastically went to make some tea.

Bai Jinli took a sip of tea indifferently, and asked with a smile: "Miss Zhong Ling, when I came here in the past, you were always concentrating on reading the script, why are you free today?"

"Hey, don't mention it. I used to think that the story books on the market were very good-looking. Since you sent Journey to the West last time, when I go back to read those story books, I find them boring.

The stories are just like that, pretentious.Hey, by the way, what happened after your story got there?any left? "Ms. Zhong Ling looked at Bai Jinli expectantly.

Only then did Bai Jinli understand why Mrs. Zhong Ling was so enthusiastic about her when she came here today.

Feelings are about her words.

"Miss Zhong Ling, what do you think of my script? If it enters the market, will it be worth seeing?" Bai Jinli didn't answer her, but asked instead.

"Miss Bai, didn't you come here today to talk to our young master about this issue?"

"Your young master, who is that?" Bai Jinli couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

"To be honest, this shop belongs to my young master, and I'm just the storekeeper on the surface.

Last time, I showed the young master the book you gave me. He liked it very much. He even went to Shitou Village to find you, and wanted to talk about cooperation, but he didn't see anyone from you.

But I heard from the young master that someone left you a message, so it looks like you don't know anything? "Ms. Zhong Ling felt very strange.

"Sister-in-law, when you and grandma were visiting relatives, someone knocked on the door of our house. It was Jasmine who opened the door. Later I asked her who knocked, and she said no one. Could it be that day?" Bai Meng weakly opening.

"Well, it seems that your young master did ask my other niece to help pass the message, but she forgot."

"Oh, so that's what I said. It's okay, since Miss Bai is here, you might as well sit and wait for a while. I'll send someone to deliver a letter to the young master. When he comes, you can talk to him."

"Yes, that's fine." Bai Jinli nodded.

The young master that Mrs. Zhong Ling talked about could go to their house for her story, which means that he is really optimistic about her story.

Thinking of it this way, Bai Jinli was relieved, and his whole body became more and more relaxed.

"The three of you haven't had time to eat before you go out in the morning, have you? There are some pastries here, you should fill them up first."

Mrs. Zhong Ling went out for a while, and came in with a particularly delicate plate of dim sum.

The dim sum is small and exquisite, green and clear, similar to mung bean cake, but not quite the same.

"Thank you, then I'm welcome."

After Bai Jinli thanked her, she picked up a pastry and handed a piece to Bai Meng and Bai Mo, and then picked up a piece and tasted it herself.

It was also the first time for Bai Meng and Bai Mo to eat such delicate pastries, and the two looked happy.

After eating two pieces, Bai Jinli couldn't eat anymore.

Although this pastry is good, it will get greasy if you eat too much.

Taking another sip of tea and pressing it down, Bai Jinli was about to ask Mrs. Zhong Ling how long she had to wait when she heard a voice outside.

She got up and walked outside, and when she saw who was coming, she was taken aback again.

"Why are you? You are the young master behind this shop?"

"It's right here. Miss Bai, what a coincidence, we meet again." Yan Su still had his cynical yet warm signature smile on his face.

Bai Meng and Bai Mo also got up and followed Bai Jinli out. They were stunned for a moment when they saw the person standing in front of their sister-in-law.

They thought that my sister-in-law's man was rare and stunning in the world, but only now did they realize that there are actually quite a few good-looking and outstanding men.

The man in front of him was dressed luxuriously, with a free and easy demeanor, and an extraordinary bearing. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.

I didn't expect their sister-in-law to know such a character, which is really amazing.

"Who are these two?"

When Bai Meng and Bai Mo peeked at Yan Su, Yan Su also took a look at the two, and asked curiously.

For some reason, he felt that the two children looked vaguely familiar.

Could it be that they passed by inadvertently before?
"My niece and nephew, it doesn't matter if I bring them here today?" Bai Jinli replied.

"Where is Miss Bai talking about? It's my honor to know them." Yan Su still smiled kindly.

"Little brother, we are also very happy to meet you." Bai Mo smiled at him and greeted him in a low voice.
