Red House Farm Stay

Qing'er continued to recite the words, "I just moved here, and the house is in a mess. The elder sister who waits on the lady is not free. My father often walks outside, so he sent me to deliver flowers. But I haven't entered the yard yet. My sister asked me not to answer in front of the lady, so as not to embarrass them without rules. If Miss Jun has any orders, I will go back and pass them on to the sisters. Oh, the sisters also said that after the family has been busy for a while, I will post it seriously I invite Miss Jun to have a seat."

This is not quite in line with the rules, but thinking that she just moved here, this girl hasn't started working yet.Seeing how brave she was when she spoke, she was afraid that it was some daughter who was in charge outside, so the eldest maid went in to answer and left the little maid to wait with Qing'er.

After a while, the big maid came back and took a box and a purse.The pouch is a tip for Qing'er, and the box is a gift for Miss Niu.

"Thank you sister, I'll go back now." Qing'er gave a salute, bounced down the steps, and when no one could see, he ran towards the place he had agreed with Jia Zhuo.

"If you succeed, I knew you would do it." Jia Zhuo saw that she was holding a box in her arms and took out a purse from her sleeve, and excitedly hugged Qing'er and twirled around.

"Scared me to death" Qing'er's heart was pounding, she was working hard just now, but she didn't feel anything, now she realizes that she is afraid.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. For a big family like them, you are going to deliver things. If you go wrong, you will not make things difficult for you." This is why Jia Zhuo dared to use such a crooked mind.

Qing'er is a little girl who comes to the door with rare things, who would think too much.Even if someone sees through the telltale signs and makes a wrong statement, and dares to hold on to it, no one will come out with rare things to trick you into giving you a little reward.

Mrs. Liu was sitting in the tea shed where she rested her feet, watching their little sisters jumping and shouting, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Your wish has been fulfilled after delivering the things, so hurry back." Mrs. Liu only regarded it as Jia Zhuo. As said, fulfill a promise.It's funny to see them so happy.

"Wait a minute." Jia Zhuo took the purse first, and took it out to see that it was worth two taels of silver. It seemed that the gift was very suitable for Miss Jun, and the reward was also generous.

He opened the box again and took a look. It was a neat 12 yuan silk handkerchief.Mrs. Liu only glanced at it, then took the handkerchief and held it in the palm of her hand, said a little excitedly, "This is the best Shu embroidery."

Shu embroidery is good at animals. This 12-yuan silk handkerchief embroiders the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, all of which are agile, as if they can be thrown out at any time and become alive.Qing'er caressed carefully, never expecting that such a good thing can be exchanged for a pot of flowers.

"This thing is too expensive, I'm afraid I can't accept it." It's not that Mrs. Liu is ignorant of the behavior of rich families, so she accepts the rewards as soon as they are given, but even she can't estimate the price of this veil, so it may be worth a lot , There was a drum in my heart.

"Don't be afraid, my colored peppers are only more rare than this handkerchief." No matter how expensive Sichuan embroidery is, it is also a valuable item, but colored peppers are something they can't find in the whole of Jinling. Not bad.

Mrs. Liu has never seen colored peppers anywhere else, and when she saw Jia Zhuo, she said it was a rare thing, so it would not be too much of a gift for these handkerchiefs to return.

Jia Zhuo handed over the silver and the handkerchief to Mrs. Liu, "Sell the handkerchief, let's buy some food and go home, and grab some warming and tonic medicinal materials, so that grandma can recover from her illness with peace of mind."

Qing'er looked at the handkerchief eagerly, seeing such exquisite embroidery for the first time, it was about to be sold before it was warmed up, and she felt very sorry.

But this was Jia Zhuo's intentional idea, just to grab some medicine for her grandma to take back. She didn't dare to say anything, and forced herself not to stare at the box, and turned her head away.

Mrs. Liu wanted to take the handkerchief back to the place where she delivered it and sell it, but was stopped by Jia Zhuo, "Let's change the face of the family, let's negotiate the price better." In fact, he didn't want the Jun family to find out about Xiaohou and find them.

"Okay, I know one, the goods are good, and the things are expensive."

"That's what I'm looking for." Guided by Mrs. Liu, the group of three arrived at a three-story Xipu, which is a time-honored shop that makes wedding clothes for people.

He opened the box and handed it to the shopkeeper for a look, and the shopkeeper recognized the name, "This is Shu embroidery."

"My aunt brought it back from outside. It is Shu embroidery. She wanted to buy more property here, and the shopkeeper asked if she would accept it or not, and how much money she would accept." Jia Zhuo naturally took the conversation.

"Accept, of course, this item is not bad, give us a set, and count as 20 taels for you."

Liu's heart skipped a beat, she knew that this set of handkerchiefs was worth a lot, but she never thought that it was worth so much.Just about to open her mouth to agree, when Jia Zhuo scratched her palm, she immediately shut up.

Jia Zhuo went to look at the shopkeeper's hand, held the box and did not let it go, his fingers tightened tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.

"No, my aunt said, 30 taels of silver, otherwise I won't sell it. Let's go to another house to see, this one might not work." Jia Zhuo went to pick up the box, and the shopkeeper hid the box in his arms.

"What's the hurry, little girl? Let's talk about it if it doesn't work. Didn't your adults say they want to leave?"

At the end of the bargain, the deal was settled at 27 taels of silver. When Liu received the silver, his mouth trembled, and finally he held back and did not speak.

"Let's go back and buy some nourishing herbs for grandma." Jia Zhuo took Qing'er's hand and looked back at Liu Shi.

"Okay, buy some red beans and go back to make porridge. Your grandma likes red bean porridge the most."

There are ready-made nourishing pills in the herbal medicine shop, but according to the buddy, they are right for the symptoms, but they cost one tael of silver per bottle.Without hesitation, Jia Zhuo said, "Buy it, one bottle can last for a month, then come three bottles."

The man looked at Mrs. Liu, and what the children said could not be taken seriously.

"Just as she said, buy it." Mrs. Liu touched the silver.

Only then did the buddy raise his smiling face, and with a long tail, he sang, "Well."

After leaving the medicine store, I went to the rice store and bought some red beans, red dates and walnuts.They asked the price of white rice and white noodles, but they couldn't afford it. The clerk at the rice store was clever, knowing that he had to go back by car, so he took the rice noodles and sent them to the place where they got on the car.

When it was time for dinner, the women in the village came back one after another, and they more or less brought something back home.Seeing the rice noodles and two baskets piled up at Wang's feet, they looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

Mrs. Liu bought steamed buns and ate them on the road. Qing'er hadn't tasted white flour and meat for a long time, so she ate three of them in one go, and smacked her lips to look at the basket.

"Eat another one." Jia Zhuo gave Qing'er another one, and Qing'er just shook his head.

"Don't be afraid, there is enough for us to eat." Jia Zhuo stuffed it into her hand anyway.

Mrs. Liu bought [-] white buns that cost two cents each. Seeing her daughter like this, she covered her eyes with her sleeve and pressed them.

"Eat, that's enough."

Mother said so, Qing'er just picked it up, and took a small bite, the previous three hadn't even tasted, and she had already eaten, this one, she had to taste it.

Along the way, the women on the donkey cart tried to talk to them several times, but Jia Zhuo evaded the point and flicked them back.

Finally at the entrance of the village, Mrs. Liu touched ten copper coins and gave them one more than the money for the car ride, begging the man driving the car to help them carry the rice noodles home.

It's just a matter of little effort, and there are still money to be made, the man is happy to agree.He was quick on his feet, picked up a bag in one hand, and was the first to arrive.

"I put it at the door for you." The man clapped his hands and went back.

"Thank you." Mrs. Liu went to open the door with a basket on her arm. Qing'er and Jia Zhuo walked behind hand in hand. A man carrying a bucket of washed clothes and struggling to move caught their attention.

"Who is this person? I don't think I've seen him before." Qing'er stretched her neck to look.

"I'm afraid of the Liu family's daughter-in-law." Recently, there is no baby girl in the village. If you look at the direction she is walking, it is likely that the young girl of this age is the new child bride-in-law of the Liu family.

"It's so pitiful." Thinking of Liu Xiaoyao, Qing'er automatically felt that this girl was pitiful.

"Little Miss." When they got closer, the girl who was struggling to carry a bucket of clothes with both hands blurted out when she saw Jia Zhuo.

Jia Zhuo didn't realize who the lady was calling for a while, the girl had already let go of her hands, and she didn't care about anything else, she just grabbed Jia Zhuo and wept.

"My servant thought that I would never see Miss again in this life, Miss, you..." Seeing Jia Zhuo's old clothes, her nose became more sore, and then she looked at Qing'er who was wearing a new dress next to her, covering her mouth, "Miss, how is it possible, miss..."

It was so obvious that Jia Zhuo could guess with his toes that she must be a former girl from the Jia family who was sold out and bought back by the Liu family by such a coincidence.

She held the girl firmly, and said softly, "What's your name?"

The little girl raised her head in surprise, "Miss, this servant is Wan Qing. Where is Lian's second master, and Lian's second grandma."

It seems that it was sold relatively early, and I don't know what happened to Jia's family afterwards.

When Jia Zhuo mentioned Sister Feng, he was obviously a stranger to her, but somehow felt a little sad.

"My mother is gone, and my father is running outside to make a living, so he put me temporarily in Grandma Liu's house. People here only know that I am a distant relative of Grandma Liu, and don't know anything else."

Regarding her tortuous experience of being sold and stolen back, she naturally didn't want to mention it again.If it wasn't for this girl's too sure recognition, she wouldn't even admit that she is Qiaojie.

"Grandma Liu, so it turns out that Grandma Liu is this Grandma Liu." No one in the Jia family knew that Grandma Liu was just a little girl. How could anyone know where Grandma Liu was from and where her family was.Naturally, he didn't associate the Liu family's double mother-in-law who was talking about it with Grandma Liu who had been a guest in the Grand View Garden before.

"Yes, how did you end up here." Jia Zhuo saw an abnormal blush on her face, and after thinking about it for a while, she knew what was going on.

Shouting inwardly that Liu Xiaoyao must die, she took out a steamed bun from the basket on her arm and stuffed it into her hand, "Eat quickly, talk after eating."
