There is a girl in the village

It rained all night in autumn, and when we got up in the morning, the light rain was still pattering, the cold wind blew, the pedestrians were in a hurry, and the market seemed more depressed than yesterday.

Lu Yuanchang was a little melancholy. She originally planned to bring Gu Xiaofu to the city to have a good time, but now it was obvious that she couldn't do so.There are a lot fewer food stalls on the roadside, and there are no jugglers. It is even difficult to buy a candied haws.

But Gu Xiaofu was in a good mood, Lu Yuanchang was in good health, Lu Yuanchang had himself in his heart, the price of food was high and he could sell more money, a few major things went well.She looked at Lu Yuanchang and recalled that this man kept stroking her back last night, his nasal voice had a suppressed panting, and she felt ashamed and sweet in her heart. That feeling was like scratching her heart, which was both comfortable and nervous.

Lu Yuanchang casually inquired about today's grain prices, and found that they had risen a bit compared to yesterday, but the grain prices in all grain shops were still quite uniform.

This situation made Lu Yuanchang more and more convinced that the rumors in the city must be rumors.Now that the autumn harvest is over, there is a lot of surplus grain in the farmers' homes, so there is no need to go to the city to buy it. However, because of the prestige of General Song, the cautious farmers dare not sell the grain to the grain merchants.

Grain merchants in the south are holding on to the grain, and the local grain merchants are short of grain. Buying grain everywhere can only alleviate the temporary shortage, and it is not a long-term solution. Therefore, the local grain merchants should have reached a consensus to increase grain prices to reduce grain output. A strategy to meet foreign grain merchants together.

After all, foreign grain merchants can't hold on to the grain all the time. They just want to raise the price of grain. Not satisfied with the current food prices.

Therefore, local grain merchants can only hold on and compete patiently with foreign grain merchants.

Lu Yuanchang told Gu Xiaofu what he thought, which reassured Gu Xiaofu completely. They found a random grain store and sold all the grain in the two carts.

Because Lu Yuanchang's old grain was a bit moldy, each stone of grain was sold for one or six taels of silver, and the two carts of grain were sold for a total of 40 taels of silver. Gu Xiaofu smiled when he saw the shining white silver.

Lu Yuanchang looked at Gu Xiaofu with a teasing smile, which made Gu Xiaofu blush a little. She said coquettishly, "My family has never seen so many silver taels. Da Lang is not allowed to make fun of my family."

Lu Yuanchang also laughed along with "hehe", and let Gu Xiaofu hold the whole bag of silver. Gu Xiaofu hugged it for a while, felt the warmth of the silver, and then threw the silver to Lu Yuanchang again. Weak woman, the money is heavy!

After selling grain, I went to a fur shop. Although this place is in the north, it did not do business with Rongdi because of the tense relationship. It was cold in winter, and the demand for fur was very high. Lu Yuanchang also left at will. Several fur shops sold off half a cart of furs, and sold a total of 30 taels of silver, which is not bad.

This is Lu Yuanchang's first time since he was in charge of a large number of sellers, and he got a total of 70 taels of silver. This income is not insignificant. Dress up from head to toe.

Yesterday, Gu Xiaofu's beauty was deeply reflected in Lu Yuanchang's heart. She thought that if Gu Xiaofu dressed up as everyone's daughter, she would be extremely beautiful.

Let the four tenants pull the cart behind, and Lu Yuanchang took Gu Xiaofu to sweep from the east of the street.

Entering a silk and satin shop, the shopkeeper saw that Lu Yuanchang was well dressed and had a bulging backpack, so he knew that he was a rich owner, so he hurriedly invited people to invite Lu Yuanchang into the inner room and serve refreshments.

"What kind of cloth do you want to buy? Our store is the largest silk and satin shop in Linchuan City, and we have all kinds of rare cloth." The shopkeeper asked, clasping his hands.

Lu Yuanchang sat down peacefully and thought to himself: In this rural place like theirs, where do they get good things, and if there are any good things among the people, don't they all be given to the emperor.

She took a sip of hot tea slowly, and said: "Bring me the best cotton cloth in your store, and pick some softer ones, satin, and cloud silk."

"Please wait a moment, senior officials, and have some refreshments first." When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyebrows glowed with joy. According to this posture, this business is probably not small.

"Da Lang!" When Gu Xiaofu heard this, she began to feel sorry for Yinzi again.

In rural areas, most farmers wear sackcloth, which is cheap and tough, and it is the most suitable for doing farm work.In winter, it would be nice to be able to wear a jacket stuffed with cotton wool.Dyed fine cotton cloth is very expensive, let alone silk and satin, which ordinary people dare not even think about.

"Fu Niang, don't feel sorry for Yinzi. You are already my Lu family. Although my Lu family is not an official family, it is still okay to buy some new clothes. When the cloth arrives, you should pick it carefully. If I catch a cold and get sick, I will definitely be angry." Gu Xiaofu was very generous to Lu Yuanchang in Lu's house, eating and drinking, but she was still relatively economical to herself, and Lu Yuanchang had not liked this for a long time.

"I thank Da Lang." Gu Xiaofu felt warm in his heart when he heard this.

"My family, why don't you thank me, sit down and drink some hot tea to warm your body, and see that your face is turning blue from the cold." Because of the autumn rain, it was obviously colder today, and the autumn clothes that Zhenniang wore for Gu Xiaofu looked a bit thin.

The shopkeeper was very concerned about this single big business, and after a while, the guys brought in a lot of fabrics. Lu Yuanchang didn't know anything about fabrics, but she wore a lot of good fabrics. Looking at the fabrics, she felt that the texture was okay. .

The shopkeeper saw that the little lady who was standing before was now sitting next to the senior official. The senior official gave him a wink, and the young lady got up to pick up the cloth. What contemptuous words and deeds did the lady have?He thought that the little lady was the girl of a high official, but according to this posture, she was the lady of a high official. Who told the little lady to dress poorly, first respect the clothes and then respect others, this makes sense everywhere .

However, the shopkeeper's professionalism was solid enough, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and began to introduce Gu Xiaofu.

Gu Xiaofu was choosing while listening to the shopkeeper's introduction.Although she doesn't have good clothes to wear herself, she would do some show work for big families when she was free in the past years, and earn some money to help the Zheng family, so she saw a lot of good clothes.With her fingertips, she gently felt the softness of the cotton and the smoothness of the satin, carefully observing the texture of the fabric and the evenness of the dyeing.

"Little lady, this batch of cloud silk came in from Yunzhou in our shop this spring. It's called Wealthy Flowers Blooming. It's called Double Lotus. This meaning is also very good." Seeing that Gu Xiaofu knew the goods, the shopkeeper began to boast.

"Da Lang, what do you think of this horse? Is it good-looking?" Gu Xiaofu asked with some excitement.

After all, she is a young woman, who does not love beauty, and with the support of the little landlord Lu Yuanchang, if she is not tempted, she can only become a nun.In fact, Gu Xiaofu knew that she dressed better to make Lu Yuanchang look good. Being sensitive, she naturally understood the reason for the shopkeeper's change.

"Fu Niang looks good in anything she wears, so just ask for it all." Lu Yuanchang said with a faint smile, drinking tea and eating refreshments, looking at Gu Xiaofu's slim figure, he felt very comfortable in his heart.

Gu Xiaofu picked out a few pieces of satin cloud silk that suited her, and a few pieces of white cotton cloth, then turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Does your store have any fabrics suitable for men?"

"Yes, of course there is, little lady, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard the words. Just now, there were quite a few selected by the young lady. Seeing the situation now, I'm afraid it will be selected for high officials. .

Seeing that the shopkeeper led the people out, Gu Xiaofu smiled at Lu Yuanchang and said, "Da Lang, I will make some clothes for you."

Lu Yuanchang looked at Gu Xiaofu, and grinned involuntarily. Who made Gu Xiaofu have a childish fawning expression on his face? No matter how Lu Yuanchang looked at it, he thought it was so cute. He stretched out his hand to hold Gu Xiaofu's hand, and said: "Fu Niang, do you like these cloths?"

"I like it, it looks good." Gu Xiaofu replied shyly.

"It looks good on my wife's body."

The shopkeeper brought someone in again, Gu Xiaofu pulled her hand out in fright, the shopkeeper was also a clever person, pretending that he couldn't see the blush on Gu Xiaofu's face at all, and introduced it eloquently.

At this moment, Lu Yuanchang couldn't sit still any longer, she was pulled up by Gu Xiaofu, and she was drawn with pieces of cloth on her body.Looking down, it was Gu Xiaofu's extremely serious face, as if choosing cloth for herself was the most important thing, it was a kind of satisfaction of being taken to heart.

After dawdling for a long time, the two finally finished picking out the cloth. At this time, the light rain had stopped, and the air was fresh and refreshing.

The shopkeeper carefully wrapped the cloth and the cotton that Lu Yuanchang wanted, and sent them to the car. The tenants had already covered the car with oil paper, took care of it, pulled up the car, and continued shopping with the owner.

Rouge and gouache, dressing table, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, bird’s nest supplements, and even specialty pastries. There are more and more things in the car. The tenants are really shocked. Who wants to pull two cars? , It was still two cars that pulled back.

Of course, what shocked them the most was seeing their master's family go to the silver building. Is the master's family planning to make a dowry for the lady?

That's right, Lu Yuanchang intends to give Gu Xiaofu a proper dowry!

Both of them were amateurs in choosing jewelry, Lu Yuanchang didn't have that kind of heart, Gu Xiaofu didn't have that kind of energy, so when they went to the silver building, their eyes were darkened.

However, the shopkeeper of the silver building was quite knowledgeable, and led the two of them to choose carefully.This time, no matter how much Lu Yuanchang insisted, Gu Xiaofu was unwilling to choose. The two carts of goods had already cost Lu Yuanchang more than 20 taels of silver, and most of them were bought for her. Can't afford more than that.

But Lu Yuanchang didn't care, he pulled Gu Xiaofu by his side, and put a pile of gold and silver jewelry on Gu Xiaofu, making the shopkeeper laugh secretly.

It was the first time for the shopkeeper to see a young couple shopping like this. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty and lovely. The two argued, the woman frowned, and the man frowned too. The woman's almond eyes widened, and the man also stared , It's like a competition, which makes the shopkeeper feel really interesting, but it's also very eye-catching.

Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, the shopkeeper took a deep breath, suppressed the smile in his heart, and said, "Little lady, I feel sorry for you. Senior official, women don't dress like you."

When the two heard this, they couldn't help but blush.

So with the help of the shopkeeper, Lu Yuanchang bought two silver hairpins, a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, three pairs of earrings, one gold, one silver, and one emerald for Gu Xiaofu.

On this day, the two of them were so busy shopping that they didn't even use lunch. Fortunately, they had refreshments in the two shops, and they had something to rest on. By the time they came out of the silver building, the four tenants were already hungry. Straight call.

Lu Yuanchang brought people to the restaurant to have a full meal. Of course, his class status was still obvious. Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu ordered four dishes with meat and vegetables, while the tenants could only eat Yangchun noodles. Luckily, Lu Yuanchang Chang was not evil, she put down her words, as long as the tenants could eat, a few bowls would not be a problem.

After eating, it was already late time, and the group of people returned home with two carts full of things.
