Farming through books: The villain's wife just wants to save money

Chapter 27 The Kind Grandpa Who Sells Candied Haws

At dawn, Su Xiaoqing went to wake Er Bao up. Today, the three of them will go to the city together.

Er Bao was forced to scream before he woke up, and he was obedient and didn't cry, but when he was combing his hair, his sleepy head was bit by bit.After washing my face, I was completely awake.

Seeing his cute appearance, Su Xiaoqing kissed his fat and tender face overflowing with maternal love.

After taking care of the second treasure, he took the bamboo basket and put the six peach blossoms he had wrapped around in it.

Yesterday, in order to get a good price for these tangled flowers, she specially made a few gift boxes to make them look tall and expensive.

When everything was ready, Lin Yunlan carried the backpack on his back very resolutely, and Su Xiaoqing led the second treasure naturally.

What's the embarrassment of my own fathers.

Uncle Wei's ox cart didn't come out today, it seems that the ox is sick.

Without a car, the city is far away.

Afraid that his wife would suffer, Lin Yunlan spent two hundred copper coins to rent a carriage.

The carriage creaked and was extremely bumpy.Even the thin cushions under the buttocks can't hide the hardness of the board.

Su Xiaoqing was a little bit distressed about Yinzi, thinking about the price-performance ratio, she felt that the bullock cart was still the best deal.

The difference between two copper coins and two hundred copper coins was too great, and it took an hour to add one more cushion.

It is also the same as a convertible car, with no shelter from the wind and rain.Sitting hurts my ass.

Taking the cheap one can also comfort yourself that you get what you pay for.

In the future, I will choose Uncle Wei's ox cart when going out, which is a good deal.

When he arrived at the place, Erbao became energetic and kept asking, like a hundred thousand whys.

This is the first time he has been in the city since he was born.

Lin Yunlan settled the carriage and took Su Xiaoqing to find a booth.

At first, Su Xiaoqing thought that this street was first come, first served, and she could find a place wherever she wanted.

She took a fancy to a prosperous location, until Lin Yunlan pulled her up and said that it was a location rented by someone else.

Only then did she know that there were stalls renting stalls in ancient times.

When she came to the place where she was writing home letters, Lin Yunlan helped her arrange things.Then he entered the school not far away.

They haven't bought new ones since the stall was gone.The rented space is now vacant.

For his family's livelihood, he found a job of copying books.

That's what Lin Yunlan told Su Xiaoqing.

Because he is working for others, it is not good to take care of children.Su Xiaoqing kept Er Bao by her side to take care of her.

Er Bao stood at the booth and waved goodbye to his uncle cheerfully.

Making money is not easy, he has to be obedient.

It was quiet in the study hall, several scholars sat around together, holding books and chatting in a low voice occasionally.

Lin Yunlan entered the study hall and walked towards the back hall. The owner of the study hall who was guarding the door hurriedly raised the curtain to welcome him in.

This place is dedicated to copying books for workers.Because of the high cost of reading, most scholars will choose to copy books for others to subsidize their families.

It was still early at this time, and those people hadn't arrived yet.Lin Yunlan walked straight to his place.

The owner of the book hall followed behind, waiting for him to sit down.After serving the tea, he said respectfully:

"Master, everything in the capital is ready, waiting for your order."

Lin Yunlan picked up the brush and wet it, smoothed the brush tip:

"Leaving for the capital in a month."

"Yes."

"Take this tea down, I'm just an ordinary scribe now."

"……Yes."

Song Cong'an patted the ashes on his body and pulled up the curtain, and saw Lin Yunlan still sitting there and copying it. :

"Yo! Brother Lin came so early, I thought I was the fastest."

Lin Yunlan poured some water on the inkstone, picked up the ink brick:

"I have a wife and children to support at home, and it's time to go to the capital for the scientific examination in a month's time. I have to spend money everywhere, and I need to copy more to barely get enough."

Song Cong'an wiped off the sweat left on his forehead from the rush, sat next to Lin Yunlan and began to arrange the brushes:

"Yeah, the science exam is about to take a lot of money. I have already saved more than half of it now. As long as I work hard to copy a little more in the past two days, I can pay for food and clothing on the road."

"I hope that if I pass the exam once, I will honor my ancestors."

Lin Yunlan smiled: "Brother Song has an excellent writing style, and he will definitely pass high school once."

Su Xiaoqing arranged the things here, and the vendors next to her were hawking at the top of their voices. The girls passing by had never seen tangled flowers.

Squat down and try wearing it on your head, and ask the price for one tael of silver.They all let go.

Some women even said why she didn't rob money.A few broken threads are so expensive.

It made Su Xiaoqing very depressed, this handmade thing was the most time-consuming.It's not expensive to buy these yourself.

Although Er Bao first entered the city, he was very curious about everything here.But the fairy sister said in the carriage.

There are so many bad guys in the city, so I can't run around.Otherwise, he would be taken away by the bad guys and become a little beggar.

He sat obediently next to the fairy sister, and occasionally helped the baby to call twice.

Thinking that the old lady squatted down to take a closer look, the new trick asked:

"How much money do you spend, girl?"

Seeing the business coming, Su Xiaoqing immediately sold it enthusiastically:

"Take a look at my workmanship, and take a look at the material to ensure that you can wear it for several years."

"I'm already old, how can I still bring such tender flowers. I bought them for my granddaughter who just arrived."

"Give it away, look at my packaging. Your granddaughter will definitely like it when she sees it." Su Xiaoqing took out the gift box she made herself and there are modern garlands on it.

The old lady liked it more and more, and felt that her granddaughter would look good in it:

"Not bad, not bad, how much is it?"

"This whole city is exclusive to my family. One tael of silver."

The old lady gave the money hand a pause, carefully observing the flowers in her hand:

"Yo, it's so expensive."

"One tael of silver is not expensive, and your granddaughter will definitely look beautiful when she wears it."

The old lady just had such a granddaughter, so she just gritted her teeth and bought it.

Su Xiaoqing quickly wrapped it up for her, and presented her with a colorful bracelet that she wove as a gift.

After the old man left, he looked at the silver in his hand and smiled from ear to ear.

This is her first pot of gold in another world.

Er Bao patted his little hands and cheered: "Sister Fairy is amazing, she sold for so much money."

Su Xiaoqing pinched Erbao's delicate face and said proudly:

"Sister Fairy has made money, and I will buy you delicious food. Did you see the candied haws that the old man sold before? Go buy three skewers for uncle..."

Halfway through the conversation, she suddenly remembered something.The study hall is full of clean and tidy books, and the candied haws are sticky. It would be bad if it gets dirty.

"You go and buy two skewers, and we will deliver food to uncle together later."

When Erbao saw the candied haws, he was so greedy that he immediately let go of the candied haws and went to buy them.

"Wait!" Su Xiaoqing grabbed him again. "How much money do you have in your hand?"

Er Bao was drooling while holding the silver, but he still replied obediently: "One tael of silver."

Su Xiaoqing asked again: "How many copper coins is equal to one tael of silver?"

"It's equal to one thousand copper coins." His uncle once told him this question.

"Very good. When you go to buy candied haws, you must first ask how much it is. Then calculate how much you should pay. Do you know?"

Er Bao nodded.

Su Xiaoqing has change in her hand, but she wants to practice Er Bao, after all, he is so stupid and easy to be cheated.

Under her gaze, Er Bao walked towards the grandfather selling candied haws step by step with his calves.

Pulling the hem of the grandfather's clothes, he turned around and found that it was a child.He crouched down. :

"Kid, do you want to buy candied haws?"

Er Bao nodded.Show him the silver in your palm.

Seeing a four-year-old child take so much money, the old man glanced around. :

"So much money, where is your lord?"

Er Bao pointed in the direction of the adults.Su Xiaoqing looked at him and nodded.

Only then did the old man feel relieved, if he stole the adult's money, he would not sell it.Put the candied haws where Erbao can reach and say:

"How many strings do you want, choose by yourself."
