Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 43 Zhuangzi
Jinhua followed Mrs. Sun to help outside for a few years, and Mrs. Sun taught her a lot of bargaining skills. She knew at a glance that the seasoning that Zhuhua wanted to buy was stocked up in the store, and there was probably no one if they didn't buy it. Buy it, no matter how much it is bought for, if you lose everything, it is better to exchange some money.Besides, she still felt that the price of three taels of silver was high, and she kept the bargaining price for the New Year's Eve not to be too harsh, so she didn't continue to cut down.

The man was really in a dilemma, the price was indeed too low, before he could make a decision, Jinhua pulled Zhuhua up and went out, when he saw them, he immediately called to stop them, "You two ladies stay here."

Hard-hearted, he agreed, "Three taels of silver, let's treat it as a good relationship for the Chinese New Year. If there is anything you want to buy in the future, you must remember to take care of us Chengji."

"Definitely." Jin Hua said lightly, without any sign of guilt.

Zhuhua looked at Jinhua in surprise, and Jinhua thought she didn't bring any money, so she untied her purse and wanted to pay for her.Only then did Zhuhua come to her senses, and immediately looked at Qiuyun. She only had a few silver peanuts for emergency use, and Qiuyun had the rest of the money.Qiuyun had already prepared the money. When Zhuhua looked at her, she immediately stepped forward to pay the money. She thought that Jinhua would pay the money, but she didn't rush forward. After all, if this thing is eaten Most of them will enter Jinhua's stomach.

Before the old uncle came to the house, the small things that Zhuhua bought for Sun Daniu were at most [-] Wen, and they were paid as soon as they were paid, but the spices cost three taels of silver, even if it was Zhuhua who wanted to buy it, it was not her. If one person wants to use it, why does she have to pay for it? Shouldn't this be a public account?Qiuyun thought to herself, silently feeling that her young lady was at a disadvantage.Fortunately, it ended up in the belly of the eldest lady. If the eldest lady has any good things, she is willing to share it with her younger sisters. If it enters the stomach of the second lady, Qiuyun will feel even worse. Things always go in and out, and the three maids around her are not easy to get along with.

After paying the money, Uncle Li helped him to carry the fennel back to the carriage. Qiu Yun wanted to help, but Uncle Li refused.The group of people took a look on the street again, bought a sesame seed cake to fill their stomachs, and then got on the carriage again and set off.

"Do you know how to eat this food?" Jin Hua asked worriedly when she got in the car.

"Yes, I saw it on the street."

Jin Hua didn't ask in detail, as long as the money was not wasted.But Qiuyun thought about it carefully, she was the one who waited on Zhuhua on the street, why hadn't she seen this thing before, if she had seen such a strange name, she would definitely remember it.After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with an answer. Qiuyun guessed that Zhuhua's memory was wrong and refused to admit it. After all, she was only a child of six or seven years old.

The two farms managed by Uncle Li are separated by a village in Chengxiao, one is [-] mu and the other is [-] mu.All of the [-] acres were leased to nearby villagers, and the [-] acres hired long-term workers. Uncle Li lived in Datianzhuang. When he bought it, he brought a second-entry house. live long-term workers.

There is also a house in Xiaotianzhuang, which is built in the middle of a field, and there is a big camphor tree outside the house. It looks quite artistic from a distance in winter, but when it rains in summer, the house is often flooded. It was inconvenient, and Uncle Li didn't arrange long-term workers to live there. Later, a family wanted to rent it out, so Uncle Li rented it out.

Datianzhuang's house is on the side of the road, at the outermost part of the village.In ancient times, there were no street signs, so Zhuhua didn't know what the village was called.Looking from a distance, most of the village is made of mud houses, and there are a few neatly repaired tile houses in the middle, which look richer than Lijia Village in my hometown.When the carriage arrived in front of the house, Aunt Li came out to greet her. She was wearing old clothes with some stains on her body, obviously she had just come out of the kitchen and hadn't had time to change.Standing behind her was a thin girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. After glancing at the two of them timidly, she lowered her head and bowed her body, not daring to make a sound.

"Aunt Li, happy Chinese New Year." Zhuhua greeted with a smile, and jumped off the carriage.

"Oh, how can you dance?" Aunt Li hurried over to help her.

"It's okay, and I'm not tall. I've grown up now." Zhuhua said with a smile, not daring to say that her feet were actually a little numb from the shock.

"Yes, Ah Zhu has grown up, and Ah Jin has also become a big girl." Aunt Li smiled gratifiedly, remembering her niece behind her, and pulled her out, "This is my niece, you can just call her cousin .”

"Hello, cousin."

Aunt Li's niece is called Xiaoya, and now her mother's surname is Sun. When two cousins ​​whom she has never met call her cousin, she dare not answer.She was once sold to a rich family as a rough girl, and she has seen many young ladies who are not taken down as human beings. Even if these two cousins ​​don't look like such people, she is still inexplicably afraid.

"Your cousin is timid, it will be fine if you get along for a long time." Aunt Li smiled and welcomed them into the house, "Go and wash up, I have prepared the food, you can eat it when you come out."

"Thank you, Aunt Li, I will trouble you these days."

"This villain is so good at talking. You can eat with your stomach open. If you don't eat and gain a few pounds, Aunt Li won't let you go back."

"Okay." Zhuhua responded with a smile and clapped her hands, then cast a teasing look at Jinhua.

Jinhua pretended not to notice, anyway, she was already planning to ask Chunshui to buy some steamed buns for her to hide as snacks, so as not to make the Li family poor.There are not many rooms in the house. Fortunately, the long-term workers who celebrated the Chinese New Year have all left, and the servants they brought can live in the backyard.The door in the middle of the front and back yards of the house is usually locked, and there are kitchens on both sides. On weekdays, a woman from the village is invited to help cook.Now that the long-term worker is away, the door does not need to be locked.

After Jinhua and Zhuhua came out after washing up, Aunt Li had already prepared the meals.When arranging the seats, Aunt Li was still in a dilemma for a while, and finally arranged their seats in the upper seat.If you are a guest from afar, even if it is a small guest, you have to sit in the main seat.When Jinhua and Zhuhua saw it, they immediately refused to sit down.

"Aunt Li is still so polite, we don't dare to come here in the future." Zhuhua said half-truthfully.

Aunt Li had no choice but to rearrange the position.Only then did they stand in front of their seats with peace of mind, and wait for the host to sit down before sitting down.Mrs. Sun is a carefree person and doesn't pay much attention to rules. When she used to eat at Cheng's house, the two families were always very casual. Seeing the two sisters become so polite all of a sudden, Uncle Li and Aunt Li were still a little uncomfortable.Not only that, the eating movements of the two of them have changed a lot, and even their walking has become more delicate when they think about it. Except for the moment when Zhuhua jumped out of the carriage just now, the two of them are basically no different from Miss Da.

Of course, Miss Da, who had only been studying for a year and came out to let the air go, quickly broke her skills.After eating, Jin Hua proposed that she wanted to go hunting in the mountains.Even a girl from a farmer's family would not dare to follow a man up the mountain, and what kind of words would be spread.Jinhua used to go hunting with Mrs. Sun, but Mrs. Sun was her mother, how could it be the same.

"Your mother agreed to this matter?" Aunt Li asked hesitantly.

"En." Jin Hua nodded without changing her expression.

Zhuhua once again got to know herself as the eldest sister who seemed to be honest but actually has her own opinions. Holding back her smile, Zhuhua also helped and said: "Let me follow, let me watch, and let eldest sister see Follow me."

Since the two sisters, one big and one small, said so, it is probably true. Uncle Li and Aunt Li glanced at each other, and Uncle Li made a decision: "Well, let me ask first. I haven't finished my walk yet, so I need to know which one is free first. We will go up the mountain after we gather three people, but we are not allowed to go to the deep mountains, and we can't go for too long, we have to come back in half a day."

"Okay." Jin Hua agreed, slightly raising the corners of her mouth.

After returning to the house, Jinhua embraced Zhuhua enthusiastically and lifted it a few times, which made Zhuhua's face turn pale with fright.

"Sister, don't scare me." Zhuhua patted her hand in fear.

"What are you afraid of? I'm strong, why don't I go to the yard and play high throws with you?"

"Don't, don't!" Zhuhua said quickly, pretending to be about to cry.

Jin Hua had no choice but to put her down, and asked again persistently: "I really don't want it, it's fun tossing it high, and all the children in the village like it."

Are there many people at risk in the village?Zhuhua thought to herself, bowed silently in her heart and apologized to them, and then reiterated very seriously: "I really don't play, I'm a girl."

Although Jinhua can't accept this reason, because as a girl, she liked her father throwing her flying and then catching her, but since Zhuhua kept saying no to play, she would not make things difficult for her.It is a duplicity that Zhuhua is not Yinhua.The two of them slept peacefully throughout the night, regardless of the fact that Yinhua, who was far away in Chang'an, could not fall asleep for a long time.
