Stingy Husband Farming

Regardless of the intrigue within the Zhong family, Song Bai and Shen Mu had already returned to their home with a large amount of fabric.

Mrs. Liu was at a loss at home, she didn't dare to let people in casually, a group of servants of Zhongfu stood at the gate of Song's house holding cloths and looked at each other, until Song Bai and Shen Mu came back, Mrs. Liu let them go.

"I was scared to death. I thought what happened. Suddenly, so many people wanted to enter our house with things." Mrs. Liu patted her chest, "Didn't you say to see Xiao Zhong? Why did you buy so many things. "

"It's our fault, and we didn't tell mother." Song Bai said embarrassingly: "Brother Zhong's family just happened to overstock some goods and couldn't sell them. I saw that the price was quite right, so I bought it. Mother was surprised. "

"Senior brother said that he will come to visit you after he settles his family affairs." Shen Mu smiled.Mrs. Liu can also be regarded as Zhong Liangjun's teacher's wife, so she should come to visit her.

While talking, the Zhong family's servants had already transported all the fabrics into the yard.They only lived in two of the four-entry courtyards, and the rest of the rooms were all prepared for the grain and grass brought by Mr. Song and his wife, and they could also be used to store cloth at this moment.

Thousands of bolts of cloth filled the courtyard, and Shen Mu touched his chest. Only at this moment did he really feel like getting rich overnight.

Although I held a bank note in the past, that thin piece of paper did not have the huge visual conflict it has today.He looked at the dazzling silk and satin in front of him, and then at the ordinary cotton cloth on his body, and suddenly understood the meaning behind the disgusted eyes of Aunt Zhong and Aunt Zhong.

"Brother Bai, don't I...wouldn't be good to dress like this again?" Shen Mu touched his clothes. "I shamed senior brother today... If I dress like this again, will I still embarrass you in the future?"

Song Bai put his arms around Shen Mu: "Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others. It's a sarcastic statement. It's only when there are more and more people like this that it becomes a helpless sigh. You are not wrong."

Those who are wrong are those superficial people who step on the highs and step on the lows, and look at people through the cracks of the door.

Shen Mu smiled, and expressed the unfinished meaning in Song Bai's words: "But everyone in the world is like this, we can't change the world, can we?"

"But if you are unhappy because of this, I don't think it is necessary to change yourself for the sake of the world." Song Bai looked into Shen Mu's eyes seriously.

This is his husband, he will love and protect him, so that he will not be despised by others for the rest of his life.Just like today, if you have money and ability, are you afraid that you won't be able to slap the other party in the face?

As long as Shen Mu doesn't like it, he will work hard to make money and improve his family's social status so that no one dares to underestimate them.

People in the world are like this.Shen Mu would be looked down upon if he wore ordinary cotton clothes, but if the emperor wore cotton clothes, would anyone dare to look down on them?

Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty wore straw sandals to go to court, the dragon robe was torn and asked the queen to mend it and continue to wear it, and he wore coarse cloth to mend his scars every day, and the queen was married to Nongsang... Who would dare to underestimate him?Can only praise him!

"Okay, when Brother Bo's business grows so big that no one dares to underestimate us, I will return to my original intentions and wear the clothes I like." Shen Mu helped Song Bai rub the knot between his brows away: "But now, let's make some changes. Bar."

"Because while it hurts to wear expensive clothes, I'm also unhappy if I'm underestimated."

And I will be even more unhappy if people who I care about, such as you or senior, are underestimated.Song Bai said that he wants to live a comfortable life and not care about the eyes of the world, but who in this world can really not care about the eyes of others?

too difficult.Since you can't transcend the vulgar, let's be a layman in the mundane.

"It's not like wearing it every day." Shen Mu smiled, calming Song Bai's emotions: "Just be yourself at home, and just wear better clothes when you go out...I don't always go out."

"Okay..." Shen Mu made the decision, and Song Bai let him do it.

However, although the determination was made, the nature of the country is easy to change, so when it comes to choosing fabrics, Shen Mu still asked Song Bai the same price, trying to pick out the most cost-effective fabrics.

Song Bai took the opportunity to beat the side drum: "Let's buy a few servants. In this way, you can also let them make clothes for you, and you don't have to go outside to find someone to order, which saves more money. You won't be willing, the old maid will come to you. Make clothes?"

"It's fine if mother does it for you. I'm always too embarrassed to ask mother to do it for me. Besides, it hurts my eyes too much doing needlework all the time."

"Even if you don't buy anything else, at least you have to buy a concierge, right? Like today, if we go out to discuss business in the future, can we ask my mother to open the door?" Guan Niang didn't dare to open it yet.

Shen Mu hesitated for a while, remembering the series of servants he met at Zhong's house, and finally nodded.

After all, it is not like in the village before, there is only a small yard.Shouts outside the courtyard can be heard inside the house.Now they can be regarded as a big family. Although he has no specific concept of wealth, he vaguely feels that his family seems to be richer than the Zhong family.If this should be the standard equipment for the rich, at least I have to make some appearances.

Shen Mu has always been competitive since he was a child, and he is good-natured. He cannot accept being looked down upon for no reason.

Song Bai was very happy.He is not a person who likes to order his servants around, but he always wants Shen Mu and Liu Shi to relax.Like the big house I bought, if nothing else, it would take half a day to clean it, and there are only two people living in it.If all the four entrances were used, Shen Mu and Liu Shi wouldn't do anything for a day, and they would be exhausted just cleaning.

"Don't buy too much, don't we have to go back to the village in the future." Shen Mu said awkwardly.From the proletariat to people who can be bought, this leap is a bit big, Shen Mu is trying to accept it, but it is still a bit difficult.

"Of course." Song Bai also knew that he couldn't become fat if he ate one mouthful, and it was already a big improvement for Shen Mu to let go: "Just like in Xing'an County, the two little girls in the yard clean up, and let them do needlework by the way. I can talk to my mother-in-law. Add another concierge. How about three people?"

It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. After lunch, the two went to the street.This time, Shen Mu's memory grew, and he deliberately found two silk clothes made in Xing'an County.

Nowadays, there is no need to go to the market to buy people. The streets are full of people who sell their sons and daughters and themselves.The prices are very cheap, and those who sell children and girls want to save some money, and those who sell themselves basically promise to have enough food, and they can go with you.

The two were walking down the street in gorgeous clothes, but there were people constantly blocking the way for sale. Shen Mu was not used to wearing silk at all, and at this moment he was annoyed so much that he regretted it, and whispered: "I knew I wouldn't dress like this."

Song Bai also leaned into his ear in a low voice: "If you don't dress like this, people will be afraid that you won't be able to afford rice, so they won't dare to go with you."

This is true.Especially those who sell themselves are also picky.I'm afraid of being coaxed, and then sold.

"My lord, look at my daughter. She can cook, do needlework, and can do the work in the field. She looks pretty." A skinny woman timidly pulled her daughter to Song Bai and introduced: " Only four taels of silver, or a stone of rice."

Shen Mu was taken aback: "Has the price of food already risen to four taels a stone?"

During the Taiping period, a stone of coarsely ground rice cost only one tael of silver, and polished rice cost only one tael of silver per stone.

Listening to the woman's introduction, Song Bai was somewhat satisfied: "You can do needlework and cook, it's quite suitable. What do you think?"

Shen Mu shifted his gaze to the little girl's face, hesitating a bit: "She... looks a little pretty."

When washing the dishes after eating, Mrs. Liu knew that they were going out to buy someone, so she deliberately pulled Shen Mu into the kitchen and told them not to let the pretty girls and brothers come back.

"Although Xiao Song is a good person, most of those good-looking and self-aware people are a bit big-hearted. Although it doesn't mean that everyone is like this, but it's better if we kill the signs in the cradle?"

Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "If you two get married, I won't say that anymore. But you still have some time before you leave the filial piety..." Get a pretty little girl and a little brother in front of you Shaking, I was afraid that I would get angry even if I was fine.

Shen Mu remembered his mother's teachings in his heart.

It took Song Bai a long time to understand Shen Mu's meaning, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you look good with me?"

"Ah?" Shen Mu looked at Song Bai's face, and then at the little girl.Although the clothes are full of patches, the hair is meticulously combed, and the melon-seeded face is also washed white and clean.It can be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu.

But compared with Song Bailili's prosperous beauty, it was much worse.

"Of course it's not as good-looking as yours. You're the best." Shen Mu didn't understand why Song Bai asked this question.

"That's fine. If you're prettier than me, I'm afraid you, a little nymphomaniac, will only look at her and not me." Song Bai smiled and pinched Shen Mu's face: "I'm the only one in your eyes. people."

"Similarly, you are the only one in my eyes." Song Baidao: "In this life, I will never have anyone else except you. I only have you in my heart. Whether other people look good or not has nothing to do with me."

After being confessed by Song Bai in public, Shen Mu blushed a little, and said uncomfortably: "Then...then you think it's suitable, just buy it."

Unexpectedly, the thin woman who watched the whole process and ate a lot of dog food pulled her daughter back a few steps, and said with a smile: "You two, why don't you watch more."

Shen Mu: "??"

Song Bai: "..."

Just kidding, with such a beautiful daughter in my family, and deliberately tidying her up so neatly, can she really be an ordinary maid?What their family wanted was to send their daughter to be a concubine, so that in addition to the current stone of rice, they could help their natal family in the future.

You don't plan to take concubines, why are you joining in the fun?

"...All right." Song Bai shrugged.They don't have to rely on this little girl, there are so many people on the street, just take a look.

In the end, Shen Mu was very satisfied and bought a pair of ordinary-looking sisters.The older one is 13 years old and the younger one is only 11 years old. Both sisters can cook, the elder sister is better at sewing, and although the younger sister can't make ready-made clothes, she still knows how to make shoes, socks and purses.The two were sold by their parents, because of their ordinary appearance, the price was much cheaper than the little girl before, and the two spent four taels of silver.

The concierge bought an old man who sold himself. He was 50 years old. His family members died in the flood, and he didn't need money.

A group of people signed a sell-off contract, and followed Song Bai and Shen Mu back home.Just turned the corner of the street, but saw from a distance that the gate was blocked by several donkey carts.
