After the big fool gets married

"No wonder such a beautiful child as Doudou wants to marry you wholeheartedly!"

Lady Ling trotted to the shelf to get another more delicate cloth bag, and said, "There are more silk threads, sixteen colors in total. If you want them all, I will wipe off the change for you, and only charge two taels of silver. "

"I usually sell cotton thread and a complete set of needles and scissors for 580 renminbi, but I only charge you [-] renminbi." Lady Ling took out a basket from under the counter and put the two cloth bags in it.

Wu Xuan took out a silver ingot of five taels from the bag and handed it over.

Lady Ling put the silver ingot on the balance and weighed it, then took out two pieces of broken silver and weighed it, and gave it to Wu Xuan.

She handed the basket to Doudou, and said sincerely: "Xiao Doudou, you are very well married, your husband is so willing to spend money for you!" Ordinary people may not be willing to buy a roll of silk thread in a year, but Wu Xuan once I bought sixteen volumes for Doudou!So generous!

Doudou smiled shyly, brother Xuan really treated him very well. "Miss Ling, we still need to buy some fabric, so let's go first."

"Are you going to the Jiang's cloth shop next door?" Seeing Doudou nodding, Lady Ling yelled at the neighbor, "Brother Ayu, Doudou is my regular customer, it's cheaper for them!"

"Okay!" A thick male voice came from the next door.

The shop of Jiang's cloth shop is much larger than that of Ling Niangzi's needlework shop.There are two floors, the first floor sells cheap coarse linen, and the second floor sells silk.

Doudou picked out two bolts of dark coarse cloth, which can be used for both bedding and clothes, and gritted her teeth and picked out a bolt of blue fine cotton cloth, intending to make a gown for Wu Xuan.

The brother A Yu that Mrs. Ling was talking about was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face. His name was Jiang Yusheng, and he was the owner of the cloth shop and also served as the shopkeeper.

He said: "You are Miss Ling's friends, so I won't quote false prices. Coarse cloth is [-] Wen a piece, fine cloth is [-] Wen a piece, delivery is included!"

"Is there any cotton?" Doudou asked.

"Yes, the new cotton just harvested in August costs [-] Wen and [-] catties. There is also last year's cotton, [-] Wen and [-] catties." Jiang Yusheng said.

Doudou asked for fifty catties of new cotton.The bedding at home has to be remade, and the winter clothes have to be prepared.

"Okay. Two bolts of coarse cloth, one bolt of fine cloth, fifty catties of cotton, a total of one tael and eight dollars." Jiang Yusheng tied up the three bolts of cloth with rope, and ordered the boy to go to the warehouse in the backyard to move the cotton.

"Don't we want to buy something else?" Wu Xuan took two steps towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Doudou grabbed him, "I don't want to buy it, it's enough."

"Didn't you just buy silk thread? Silk thread embroidered on cotton doesn't match well—" Wu Xuan thought of a reason.

"It's nothing, it's a perfect match!" Doudou said firmly.

Wu Xuan wanted to struggle again, "Let me see what's upstairs—"

"The upstairs is silk. A batch of new materials from the south of the Yangtze River have just arrived. The color is very elegant." Jiang Yusheng said, "You two can go upstairs and have a look."

"I won't go." Doudou tugged on Wu Xuan's arm and whispered, "Silk is very expensive, at least ten taels of silver a piece." A piece of silk can buy fifty pieces of coarse cloth.And fifty bolts of coarse cloth are enough for a family to wear for a lifetime.

"Haha, there are also eight taels of silver a horse." Jiang Yusheng laughed.

Doudou's ears turned red quietly, he gave Wu Xuan a look, it's all your fault, you made me laugh!

I thought it was so expensive!Isn't it just ten taels of silver?The nouveau riche Wu Xuan has long forgotten the simple life of eating boiled cabbage, and he has to spend a lot of money to stop. "If you don't go, Doudou, I'll go by myself! Don't blame me for the ugly color you choose."

"Brother Xuan, you!" Doudou beat him twice angrily, but there was nothing he could do about it.Let's fight, it doesn't hurt at all.Scold it, I can't bear it.

"Hey, let's go, my Doudou's craftsmanship is so good, it should use the best material." Wu Xuan took his shoulders and went up the stairs.

"Ordinary, ordinary ones are fine, don't buy the best ones." Doudou felt that brother Xuan was like a big furnace, and wherever he touched him, it became hot.

Jiang Yusheng asked the boy to watch the first floor, and he followed Wu Xuan to the second floor.

"Both of you are young, so they are suitable for brighter fabrics, especially this little brother, who is so beautiful that even the brightest fabrics can't hold back." Jiang Yusheng brought them several bolts of red fabric.

Doudou shook his head.

"Then look over here, it's the new material from the south of the Yangtze River that I just mentioned. It's a bit more expensive, but it's definitely worth the money. You see, there are lake green, sky blue, royal blue, moon white, and indigo. color,--"

Doudou looked at them one by one, and had to admit that they were indeed very beautiful. If they were made into clothes for Brother Xuan, they would be changed every day——

"Okay, I want all these horses!" Wu Xuan waved his hand and wanted to buy them all.

Doudou regained consciousness from the beautiful fantasy in an instant, "No way! Choose at most one horse!"

"But they're all pretty good--" Wu Xuan's eyes scanned the row of materials one by one, "This one looks good, this one looks good too, and this one--how about these?"

"Not good, there are too many!" Doudou's attitude is decisive, not negotiable.

Wu Xuan looked down at him aggrievedly, like a big dog.Doudou's heart softened in an instant, "Then, let's buy two horses!"

"Okay, you pick Doudou!" Wu Xuan became excited again in the blink of an eye, and dragged Doudou to choose carefully.

Doudou originally wanted a sky blue horse, but Wu Xuan insisted that it was unlucky to be green, so Doudou had no choice but to follow him.In the end, I picked two blue ones, royal blue and elegant, moon white and clear, suitable for both of them.

"These two are newly arrived Hangzhou silk, 12 taels of silver each." Jiang Yusheng said, "I'll find a piece of cloth to wrap it for you."

Wu Xuan nodded.

When the three of them went down the stairs, Jiang Yusheng quickly ordered the boy to cut a piece of coarse cloth, and said, "If you don't worry about breaking it, you can ask the boy to buy a wooden box, two hundred cash for willow wood, and four hundred cash for fir wood." About the text."

"Go ahead, buy two fir ones." Wu Xuan said.The house is empty, everything needs to be added!

The clerk quickly pushed two big boxes over with a trolley, moved one box into the store, and packed all the five pieces of cloth Wu Xuan bought into it.

Jiang Yusheng fumbled the abacus at the counter, "Two pieces of Hangzhou silk are 24 taels, coarse cloth and cotton are 26 taels and 26 taels, and the box is [-] taels, a total of [-] taels and six taels of silver. You are a big customer, so I will wipe the change for you, and give you [-] taels." Two will do."

Doudou took out her purse from her arms, counted three bank notes and handed them over.It was the first time he spent so much money, and his hands trembled slightly.But - it's really cool to spend a lot of money!

There were two boxes on the trolley and a huge bag stacked on top of it.Fifty catties of cotton is not heavy, but its volume is still very impressive.

Wu Xuan also handed the sewing basket to the boys, and told them to deliver the things to Wu Bei in Chariot and Horse Alley, and continued shopping with Doudou without incident.

-

As the most prosperous street in Dingshan County, the main street is lined with various shops.Wu Xuan's family looked over, trying to find some things with modern traces.

It's a pity that except for Qianzhuang, the other shops seem to be quite satisfactory and normal.

Hey, Wu Xuan suddenly saw a shop that was even more impressive than a bank!

Other shops have one door, but this one has five doors open at the same time, and the business is surprisingly good. There are even many people queuing outside the two doors on the left.

He asked curiously, "What is that store?"

"That's the Wuyan Pavilion of the Gu family. The bookstore is on the right and the library is on the left. Students can read books for free in the library." Doudou explained to him.

It turned out to be a library!

This is both a bank and a library. Wu Xuan can basically confirm that this world has been transformed by a fellow villager, and he is also a fellow with a high position and authority!

He said: "Let's go in and have a look." The team on the left remained motionless for a long time, and Wu Xuan resolutely chose the door on the right to enter.

Before they stepped into the door, they saw a person running towards them, Wu Xuan quickly put Doudou behind him.

"Boom—" that person hit Wu Xuan's chest straight.

"Liu Siyuan, why are you running!" Two people chased after him.

The scholar named Liu Siyuan held his nose and said "Sorry" to Wu Xuan, then hurried away.

Wu Xuan: Brother, your nose is bleeding, why don't you just wipe it off and run away?

The two people behind chased him out, but Liu Siyuan was nowhere to be seen.The two returned to the library angrily.Huozheng, who was full of worries, had nowhere to go, and saw Wu Xuan and Doudou who were blocking the way just now, looking at the bookstore curiously.

"The poor should go to the library on the left and line up honestly! Can you afford it here?" one of them said with a shady voice.

Another scholar, wearing light green brocade, waved the folding fan in his hand pretending to be elegant, and said, "Vulgar people, how dare you enter the land of scholars!"

Wu Xuan: The two of you just ran out of breath like dogs, now you turn your head around and pretend to be human to imply me?

"Hey, those two poor ghosts, what about you! Get the hell out of here! Is this where you can come?" Seeing that Wu Xuan didn't dare to make a sound, the man spoke even more recklessly.

Wu Xuan turned his head, approached him a few steps, and said word by word: "You say it again?" Just saying me is not enough, how dare you say my Doudou?

"You, you—" The man was startled by Wu Xuan's eyes, and he couldn't speak out the arrogant words.He asked his companion next to him for help, "Brother Shao——"

Shao Zhipeng closed the folding fan in his hand with a "swipe" and said, "Zhai Le, what are you afraid of! I'm a student, how can I be afraid of a mere reckless man."

"It's really shameless, you guys are the ones who scolded people first." Doudou said behind Wu Xuan.

"Everyone, stay safe and don't be impatient." The manager of the bookstore finally heard the movement here, "You are all literati, and you should convince others with reason when you encounter problems. Loud noise is not what a gentleman does."

Seeing the manager came, the scholar named Zhai Le regained his confidence, and he snorted at Wu Xuan: "We are literati, some people are not. If you are a reckless man, if you come in, you will dirty the ground of Wuyan Pavilion!" "

"We are here to buy books, why can't we come in?" Doudou retorted.

"You look so poor, can you afford books?" Zhai Le laughed loudly, "And you, even talking, hide behind others, why, are you too ugly to be seen?"
