Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 121
The official media told Li Dehe that the best magician in Liucheng was invited to marry Shangji, and the marriage was set on the auspicious day of the eighth day of April in the coming year.After Li Dehe received the invitation card, he replied immediately, and attached a return gift, which was brought back by the matchmaker.In return, there were shoes and hats made by Li Yulan herself, and the Four Treasures of the Study selected by Li Dehe himself.From then on, Li Yulan's marriage was settled.

Li Yulan's marriage was decided with great fanfare. Xu Baoqiang's dowry was a total of sixteen liters, which was considered the first in Lijia Village. It opened the eyes of the old and young in Lijia Village. Let go of the geniuses, everyone talked about it with great interest, and the only one who felt uncomfortable listening to it was Zhang Erlang of Zhang Tuhu's family.

He always thought that his family and Li Yulan's family were "bar door to bar door, and board door to board door", but he didn't know that the good news of Li Zonghui's selection came last year, so his mother was a little hesitant, after all, he was the family of Ju Ren.But Zhang Erlang couldn't help but mention it to Wang when he was slaughtering pigs in the twelfth lunar month. Wang said that he still had to discuss with his family to put the marriage on hold.In March, news came that Li Zonghui had won Tanhualang, and Zhang Erlang knew at that time that he would never have a fate with Li Yulan in this life.But hearing that Li Yulan was engaged was another matter, but the bitterness in my heart couldn't be wiped away.

Not to mention how frustrated Zhang Erlang is, but Li Yulan is very happy. Xu Baoqiang can be regarded as both knowledgeable and good-looking among the men Li Yulan has met. If you have a deep love, otherwise, you won't send a matchmaker to propose marriage immediately after meeting.

Mrs. Wang has now called Li Yulan back from the town, and every day she sits in her own room embroidering the dowry.In order for Li Yulan to get married, Wang also decided to take Li Shasha to Lixian County to find Li Shasha's sister-in-law, Li Deyuan, and ask her to find some good silk and satin fabrics.Now Li Shasha also bought a horse specially designed to pull a cart. She really felt that a horse like Lightning could never pull a cart, so she repainted the cart that Lei Zhengtang drove with black paint when he was building the house. He invited a person who can drive a carriage in the village to drive a carriage for his family.

In this way, an auspicious day was chosen. Early in the morning, Mrs. Wang took Li Shasha, and Li Shasha took Qiuju to wait on her. They arrived in the county seat of Li County in a carriage.This is the first time for Li Shasha to go to a county that is bigger than Yanbo Town. Although the city in the previous life was ten thousand times better than the county this time, it is not as old-fashioned as a modern city.Before entering the city, I saw the legendary Lishui River. There are fishing boats fishing in twos and threes on the river, and there are even some people who use ospreys to fish, that is, the cormorants in the previous text. Some of them stand in a row with the fishing boats. There are also those who are bouncing up and down in the water, which is very lively.

Li Shasha lifted the curtain to watch with relish, and suddenly got a blow on the head, and turned her face to see that it was Wang's face pretending to be angry.She had no choice but to put down the curtain reluctantly, and said to Mrs. Wang with a smile, "Grandma, you knocked so hard, it seems like I have a big bump on my head."

When Wang heard this, she became a little anxious, and quickly touched Li Shasha's head again and again, muttering: "I didn't use much strength, why did you pick up the bag?" Li Shasha hurriedly took off Wang's head with a playful smile. She said with her hand: "Grandma, it seems that the bag has gone down again." Only then did Wang realize that she was lying to herself, and couldn't help pinching her little face: "Little girl, you still lied to me!" Your grandma is here." Li Shasha covered her pinched red face and said, "Grandma, I want to see an osprey catching fish, but this is not available in our town, why are you hitting me?"

Mrs. Wang poked her forehead again with her finger and said: "You crazy girl, now that your father has become the county magistrate, you are the lady of the official family, and you can no longer be like a wild girl like before, so as not to get caught in time. It's a joke. When you ride in a carriage in the future, you can't just lift the curtain for people to see, you understand?"

Li Shasha said with a sad face: "Why is it that my daughter is not at ease when my father becomes an official?" Wang said with a smile: "You think it's so easy to be an official lady?" Li Shasha looked at Wang strangely Said: "Grandma, how do you know how to be an official lady?" Wang was also a little stunned when she heard this, and she murmured to herself: "Yes, how did I know?"

Seeing that Wang herself couldn't explain clearly, Li Shasha felt a little strange. Her grandma had many things that were different from country women, such as washing hands. This hygienic habit is not something that country women can develop. There is also embroidery. Wang The flowers embroidered by Shi are also different from others, and the color selection and color matching are not as rustic as ordinary village women, which is a bit interesting when I think about it.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, when Qiu Ju shouted outside the carriage: "Old lady, eldest lady, we are going to the city soon!" The two people in the carriage who were in a daze suddenly woke up.Li Shasha involuntarily stretched her hand towards the curtain of the car again. Wang couldn't help smiling when she saw it, but she still coughed heavily, and Li Shasha had to retract her outstretched hand.After entering the city, the sounds outside gradually became lively. There were all kinds of hawking and bargaining, and even the sound of silk and bamboo drifted over from time to time, which made Li Shasha's heart itch.However, she looked up at Mrs. Wang, who was sitting upright, and she had to put away her little thoughts. Anyway, this time, she came to the county to buy a dowry for her aunt, so she didn't worry about going out for a stroll, so she just put up with it.

After entering the city, Mrs. Wang asked the coachman to find an inn to stay in first, and Li Shasha also thought it was right to do so.She also doesn't like that powerful little aunt very much, so that the family spends money to stay in the hotel, and there is no problem of depending on others.But she said something extra and asked the coachman to find the best inn in the county.Wang said angrily: "Why spend that money, you don't always live everywhere, it's only a matter of two or three days, just bear it and pass."

Li Shasha has her own thoughts. She is not in good health. She likes to listen to colleagues and friends talk about going out to play. She remembers a friend who loves traveling very much saying that when going out to play, she must stay in a big restaurant and eat in a small restaurant.She also asked this friend why she thought this way, and she still remembers what the friend said, that staying in a big restaurant can guarantee her safety, and eating in a small restaurant is the only way to eat the most distinctive local dishes.

She raised her head and said to Wang: "Grandma, you don't know that staying in the best inn is the safest. To be able to afford such a good inn, the owner must have a big background. First of all, the little gangsters on the street Don’t dare to harass, and there will be no dubious people who can live in the inn casually, so we don’t have to worry about leaving things in the inn for people to touch.” Wang has always known that her granddaughter Zao Hui, she can tell These words were not very strange, on the contrary, she felt that what she said made sense, so she kept nodding her head in agreement.

While talking, the coachman shouted outside: "Old lady, Missy, I found out that the best inn in this county is Yunlai Inn, let's go there now!" Mrs. Wang replied in the car: "Okay, let's live in that room!" But Li Shasha was thinking in her heart, Yun Lai, did she mean that the guest is like Yun Lai?

When they arrived at Yunlai Inn, the coachman stopped the carriage, and Qiu Ju quickly put the stool beside the cart outside, and helped Wang Shi and Li Shasha out one by one.Qiu Ju is 12 years old, and she is very neat in her work. During this time, Li Shasha has trained carefully for a period of time. Although she is not as shrewd as Qiu Xiang in handling accounts, she is also a bold and careful person, and Li Shasha loves her even more in serving others. Some eyes blinked and eyebrows moved, which made her enjoy it.In fact, Li Shasha sometimes wonders if she has become corrupted here, and she is beginning to enjoy the days of being served by others.

After getting off the carriage, Li Shasha looked at this ancient inn for the first time. The inn had two floors, and a signboard with gold letters on a red background was hung on the lintel. Like a cloud.Qiu Ju helped them out of the carriage, got into the carriage again and carried the burden on her back, then got out of the carriage and helped Wang Shi to walk towards the inn. Li Shasha followed behind them, before they reached the door, shoulders Xiao Er, who was wearing a white towel, greeted him with a smile on his face.He called out politely: "Old lady, are you staying at the hotel or eating?"

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and was about to speak, when Li Shasha replied from behind: "My little brother, we are going to stay in a hotel, do we still have a room?" The pink girl doll is not very luxuriously dressed, but she is attractive and not petty.He hastily stepped forward and said, "Miss, there are still rooms in the upper house, how many rooms do you want?"

Li Shasha said with a smile: "I want two upper rooms, and I can arrange a place for my groom, and my carriage will be ready." The waiter hurriedly winked at the waiter next to him, and the one next to him immediately led the driver Got into the carriage and went to the side.Li Shasha asked: "Hey, what do you mean?" The little girl said with a smile: "The carriage can be parked in the backyard of my inn. You can rest assured that your horses will be fed with good fodder, sure." Let it run fast and well tomorrow."

Li Shasha nodded and said, "How much is a room for the upper house?" Xiao Er replied next to him, "One tael for a room. If you want two rooms, it is two taels of silver for a day. How long do you think you want to stay?" Knowing that the house is so expensive, I hesitated.Li Shasha hurriedly stepped forward and pressed her hand and said, "Okay, give us two upper rooms, and we may live for about three days." After speaking, she took out a ten tael of silver from her bosom and threw it to the little girl. two.Xiaoer stretched out his hand to take the silver, bowed with a smile and said, "Guest officer, please come in with me."

The three of them followed Xiaoer to the shopkeeper to get the room key. Li Shasha began to observe the inn, and saw that the first floor was a place to eat, and the lobby was chaotic.Smelling the aroma of the food, Li Shasha's stomach was rumbling.Xiao Er took the keys and led the three of them to the backyard.When I came in, I realized that the inn was not what I saw from the outside. The backyard was lush with flowers and plants, and the winding paths led to secluded places. It was like being in the back garden of a rich family, and I could no longer hear the noise in the front lobby.

Xiao Er led the three of them to a small building, which had two floors. Xiao Er pointed and said: "Guest officer, the two upper rooms you want are on the right hand side of the upper building." One room and the second room, the two upper rooms are next to each other." After speaking, he led the three people upstairs, opened the door and invited the three people in.After briefly introducing the room, he said: "Guest officers, if you need anything, please pull the knot beside the bed, and the people in the shop will come to obey your orders. The little ones, please go down and ask for hot water." Come up, so that you can cleanse your face." After speaking, he pointed to the location of the knot beside the bed and bowed back.

Only then did Li Shasha take a closer look at the room. The room was not big. There was a round table at the entrance, surrounded by a few round stools.There is also a set of exquisite teapots and tea bowls on the round table, inside is a Babu bed, the bed curtains and curtains are neatly hung, and the bedding on the bed looks fluffy and soft, making people look like they want to sleep.

Sitting on the round stool, Mrs. Wang said to Li Shasha, "My good fellow, such a small room costs one tael of silver a day, and I can build a house by myself after living in it for three months." Li Shasha smiled and said, "Grandma, Think about it, did we stay at my aunt's place this time? If we live in another crappy place, my aunt would drag us to live with them. I don't want to live in her house to see people's faces. Besides, let's I also bring some silver money to buy things, if I live in a cheap place, how about letting people take away the silver money?" Hearing what Li Shasha said, Wang suffocated and did not continue.

Not long after, someone brought hot water and boiling water. Qiu Ju helped them wash their faces and drank some hot tea.Li Shasha asked Qiu Ju to wash it herself, and then went to the next room to check. The layout was similar to this one, except that the bedding on the bed was slightly different in color and pattern.

After tossing around like this for a while, Li Shasha's stomach started to growl. Wang looked at her with a smile, and kept her mouth shut.Li Shasha could only mock herself and said: "Hey, I'm hungry, it's time for us to eat." After she finished speaking, she turned around and pulled the knot beside the bed, and sure enough, a waiter knocked on the door after a while, and Li Shasha asked him When he came in, the waiter asked, "What's your order?" Li Shasha replied, "We don't want to eat in front, can you bring some food to the room?" The waiter replied, "Yes, the guest wants to eat. What?" Li Shasha ordered something casually, thinking to finish eating quickly so that she could go to visit her aunt's house, finish her work early and go back.

Taking advantage of Xiao Er not retreating, Li Shasha asked him to come over with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.When Xiao Er sent them over, Li Shasha wrote a greeting card and put it in the envelope.When Xiao Er led someone to bring lunch, he said to Xiao Er: "Please call my driver over here, my grandma has something to tell him." Xiao Er led the order and went down.

After a while, the coachman came over to salute and said, "What is the old lady's order?" Li Shasha took out the written greeting card, handed it to the driver, and said, "I will trouble you to send this greeting card to my aunt's house." , the address is the place the old man said." The coachman took the invitation and took the order to go.

Qiu Ju waited on Wang Shi and Li Shasha for lunch, and when they finished eating, Qiu Ju used some of their leftover food.Li Shasha didn't dare to do anything to let the maid eat with her, for fear of being regarded as a different kind, and she could only act as if she didn't see Qiuju like this.

Not long after eating, Li Deyuan led a group of maids and women to look for Wang and Li Shasha.Mrs. Wang had never received such a high-level reception before, so she felt a little at a loss.Li Shasha hurried forward to greet Li Deyuan, holding Wang's arm, and Li Deyuan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why are you willing to come to the county town today?" Wang said somewhat cautiously: "Hey, Deyuan, I I also came here to buy some things." Li Deyuan was immediately excited when he heard this, and said politely: "Since my sister-in-law is here in the county, why don't you stay at the inn? Why don't you go home with me!"

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to smile and said: "It's okay, we will leave after shopping, you still have to clean up, it's a bit troublesome, why don't we stay in an inn, Deyuan, you see, this inn is not bad, anyway, it's only two days There is no need to trouble you anymore. But there is one thing that I must trouble you with. We are here to buy a batch of silk and satin fabrics. I wonder if your shop in Deyuan can accept us?" Li Deyuan heard yes Those who came to buy fabrics immediately said: "It's not easy, so I went to my family's Fangji silk and satin shop. I don't say it was the first one in our Dachu Dynasty, but it was also the first one in our Lixian silk and satin shop. Besides. Now, everyone who comes is a guest, let alone an ordinary guest, you are my own sister-in-law, who dares not to welcome you?"

Li Shasha was also happy to hear that she was able to go out, she stood up and said to Wang: "Grandma, what are you waiting for, let's go to the silk shop of my aunt's house, and if it is suitable, I can buy it in the shop. After hearing this, Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement, and the group went to Fangji silk and satin village in a mighty way.

Sitting in the Fang family's carriage, Li Shasha didn't dare to lift the curtain casually this time, and sat in a well-behaved manner without glancing at her eyes.When we arrived at Fangji Silk and Satin Shop, it was really not Li Deyuan's bragging rights, it really was a big shop, and all kinds of silk and satin were arranged in colorful ways, which made people dazzled.The shop actually has two floors, and there is a private room on the upper floor, which is specially used by regular customers or female relatives of wealthy families.

Li Deyuan invited the two of them to a private room on the second floor, and the shop assistants began to bring up all kinds of fabrics continuously.At first, Li Deyuan brought Wang and Li Shasha to the shop to introduce them enthusiastically, but later he heard that the fabric was for Li Yulan's wedding, and his enthusiasm dropped by more than half.She couldn't be interested in marrying a concubine daughter, and marrying an ordinary family who just won a prize.

Of course, it is still very good to Li Shasha, after all, she is the daughter of Xinke Tanhualang, and I heard that Li Zonghui has already become the magistrate of Lizhou County in Yizhou Prefecture, so I kept complaining about my sister-in-law, why such a big happy event was not brought forward Send someone to inform, so I can go back to have fun.

Wang made Li Deyuan very embarrassed. She was an honest and responsible person, and she couldn't keep up with her words. When she encountered this situation, she had to keep her mouth shut.Seeing her grandmother's appearance, Li Shasha stepped forward and said to Li Deyuan: "Grandma, my father came back because he was afraid of disturbing his relatives, so he just walked around a few houses and returned to the capital after staying for a few days. There is really no chance." To report to everyone, I really didn’t deliberately not notify my aunt.”

Although Li Deyuan said that he looked down on his stupid and incompetent sister-in-law, he didn't dare to care about the sharp-tongued Li Shasha, so he could only smile and said: "Hey, look at what Sister Sha said, we are all of our own flesh and blood, your father It should be known to everyone in the ten miles and eight villages, so that our old Li's family can have a good reputation. Let me, the old lady, also enjoy the glory."

Li Shasha couldn't bear to hear a person who looked only in her 30s say that she was an old woman, so she joked: "Grandma, I don't agree with you saying that you are an old woman. You look like my mother's sister , I don’t even think it’s appropriate to call you auntie.” Li Deyuan was so happy with what he said, so he stopped chasing after that matter.
