The shopkeeper saw clearly that it was Pearl, and he also looked a little uncomfortable, which made Pearl feel a little suspicious: when ordinary people see customers, they should smile for the purpose of doing long-term business, why is he uncomfortable.

It's just that when people come to their own home, it's not easy to kick them out: their daughter-in-law and son are still in their own home.Pearl had no choice but to laugh and said: "I didn't expect to be neighbors with shopkeeper Li. I just came here today. Aunt Li was afraid that I might not be familiar with the neighbors in the alley, so she was pointing me out. Speaking of it, I forgot the time, which delayed shopkeeper Li's dinner." .”

Mother Li hurriedly said: "There is no delay, it's still early for dinner. You don't know, he is a dog who can't hide two taels of ghee, and he must have got something cheap today so he came home early to show it to me. "

In a thrift store, what kind of business is worth making the shopkeeper feel that he has got a big deal, this point Pearl knows it, it must be about the furniture in his shop.It's just that the goods have already been sold, and there is no reason to find a later account, so she just listened to it as a joke.After politely sending the three members of the Li family out of the yard, they put them together with the servants.

Not to mention how the pearls were cleaned up, but Father Li snorted as soon as he got home: "You have a wife's mouth, next time you don't have someone to guard the door, don't go out."

Li's mother was suddenly scolded by her husband, and she couldn't figure it out for a while: "I just went to sit at the new neighbor's house and didn't say anything. Why are you in a hurry with me? Are you really hungry?" People give Li's father to eat.

Father Li stopped her: "Do you know why I came back early today?"

Li's mother shook her head, even Li Sen sat down and listened to his father.I heard Father Li say: "The furniture in the main room of that girl's house you saw just now came from our shop."

Li's mother was just stunned: "Just now I asked Miss Hua the price of those things, and said that she bought them too expensive. What should I do? It's strange that the people who followed her turned green when they heard me say that they were too expensive .”

Li Sen suddenly asked his father: "How much money did father collect for the furniture in that hall, and how much money did he sell to Hua girl?"

Father Li only thought that his son hadn't been to the store for the past two days, and he was worried about the business in the store.Some proudly said: "It's a coincidence that the furniture was delivered to the shop yesterday afternoon. They said that it would be inconvenient for the whole family to return home. I just think that although the wood is only locust wood, the workmanship is very good." It’s very fine. I’ll take it for two taels of silver.”

Li's mother clapped her hands: "I don't think it's such a good deal. It's worth two taels of silver overnight. This kind of business doesn't need to be too much every month, just once or twice is enough."

Father Li curled his lips: "It's so easy, the money is all yours. You don't know, the people that the girl is leading are knowledgeable, but unfortunately they are not really people who are dedicated to the Lord. Before leaving, they still look for me Gestures, I think I have to go to the shop again when it is too late, and I want to charge a tap."

Li's mother became more and more disbelieving, and only thought that the old man wanted to save a private house from it: "That's someone who was brought by the girl herself, how can she cheat her master for you? If that's the case, then Miss Hua can't trust him like that."

Father Li just mocked: "That's why these servants are the worst. He pretended to bargain with me, from ten taels of silver to four taels of five, and the girl saw that the price was more than half, how could she not believe him?"

Mother Li didn't know whether to say that her old man can do business, or to sympathize with that girl.He only asked on the side: "I think the servant didn't dare to go to the shop when he saw that we are neighbors. It's just that he shouldn't take her money."

But Li's father didn't care: "Favours belong to favors, and business belongs to business. The big deal is that she really moves here in the future, so let's congratulate her more generously on her housewarming. Senzi, Senzi?" Only then did he realize that his son didn't know when is no longer in the house.

Li Sen had already been taken aback by what his father said, and only thought that he should tell Miss Hua about the servant, so as not to be fooled by this naughty thief next time.But the matter of my father making money was involved in the middle, and I didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Pearl was giving a handful of money to the servant: "Look where there are ready-made food for sale, buy some and let's have lunch at noon."

The servant was already frightened by the appearance of the Li family, and he dared not handle money matters: "Why don't you go out and buy some by yourself, the little one doesn't know what the girl likes to use. Besides, there are still two things that haven't been sent over." , the little one is still waiting at home."

Pearl only said: "You are more familiar with this place than I am. I don't know where there is anything for sale. You bought it earlier, and we packed it up earlier. We have to go back."

The servant had no choice but to accept the money, and asked Pearl what she wanted to eat.Pearl only told him that it is good now.He also remembered that Li's family brought tea over just now, and at least he had to return the gift, so he gave extra money and asked the servant to make two more gifts.

After the servant left, Pearl stopped putting on airs and leaned on the chair to refresh herself.She didn't want someone to knock on the gate of the courtyard after a while, but Pearl couldn't help it, so she had to get up and answer the door by herself.She couldn't help thinking in her heart, when she really left the mansion, would she buy one or two servants to serve her like Qiao Yun did.I was amused by my own thoughts again, I don't know how long I can stay here, and I still think about the servants forming a group.

So when she opened the door, Pearl had a smile on her face.It became more and more clear that her skin was white and her face was moist, and she added a bit of radiance, which made people feel amiable.Li Sen who knocked on the door was inevitably dumbfounded.It's not that he is a person who has never seen the world, he also welcomes and sees them off in the shop, but how can the demeanor of those people compare with the pearls cultivated by the Rongguo Mansion, he is secretly thinking about it.

Seeing that it was Li Sen, Pearl was also taken aback, wondering if he came here to beg for tea sets.He even laughed before saying anything: "I'm really sorry, we should have sent the tea set back to Mr. Li first, but the servant went out to buy things, it's not a while, so don't blame him."

Hearing that the servant went shopping, Li Sen was overjoyed: "I came here because I have something to say to the girl. It would be great if that man went shopping."

Pearl was stunned when she heard Li Sen's words - if this is the case, it is too easy to cause ambiguity.Li Sen also felt that what he had said was inappropriate, and he was afraid that the servant would come back too soon and he would not be able to remind the girl in time. He didn't know how the girl would be deceived by him next time, so he hurriedly took out a coin from his pocket:

"This is twenty-five cents of silver. Give it back to the girl." Li Sen handed over the silver.

How did Pearl take money from a stranger for no reason? She took a step back: "Where did Mr. Li say that?"

Li Sen said: "My father bought the girl's furniture for only two taels of silver. At that time, he didn't know that the girl was a neighbor in the alley, so he overcharged the girl."

It turned out to be the case.It's also because Zhuzhu didn't know the market conditions of this dynasty, and just looked at the solid wood furniture, and thought it should be worth some money.But I forgot that in this era, there is no furniture that is not solid wood.Coupled with the low labor cost, it is really not worth much to see a lot of furniture in a room, let alone old ones.

It's just that the goods have already been sold, and it was your wish at the time. Pearl just wanted to pay attention to herself next time, but she still refused to accept the money: "My son is serious. What your family does is business, so buying low and selling high is naturally It is a matter of course, and there is no reason to say that you should help in vain just to be a neighbor."

The words left Li Sen speechless, and he felt that the girl was sensible.The more he couldn't let her suffer, seeing that the servant was nowhere to be seen, he said: "The man that the girl followed, it's better not to go out with him in the future."

Just now Pearl was already suspicious, but this time when Li Sen said it, he understood more than ten percent, but he was still very grateful to the person in front of him: he is doing business, he thinks you are a neighbor and doesn’t want to make more money from you, and he wants to It would be kind to remind you that servants are unreliable.

So she solemnly thanked Li Sen for his reminder.But that silver is absolutely unacceptable.Li Sen had no choice but to put away his private money and hurried back to his home.He consciously did it secretly, but he didn't want to, but it all fell into the eyes of his old mother.

"Senzi, did you go to find that flower girl just now?" Mother Li came to her son's room and asked straight to the point.

Li Sen blushed, "Mother."

Mother Li just nodded at him: "Do you have a crush on that girl?"

Facing his old mother, Li Sen still dared to say: "I think that girl is capable, and she can set up a property by herself at a young age. Besides, she is not so frivolous in her actions, and her words are also reasonable. "

This matter has not yet been settled, and his son praised him like this, which made Li's mother feel a little sour.But the son is not young anymore, that girl seems to have one in her hand, it would be a pity to miss it.So she said: "It's a pity that the girl is a servant in the Rongguo Mansion. We also know one or two stewards in their mansion. I heard that no one in the mansion wants to redeem themselves."

This is really a problem.Li Sen thought for a while and asked his mother: "Mother said that our family also knows the steward in the Rongguo Mansion?"

His mother sighed: "Even if we know each other, it's just that we talk nicely outside, I'm afraid we won't be able to stand up in the mansion. But such a person, we look like people outside the sky, and behave It’s not something people like us can compare to.”

It turns out that many ordinary families in Beijing are not ashamed to marry maidservants from rich families.The maidservants from everyone like Gain are well-informed, often have savings in their hands, and have some affection with the original owner, so the old owner can take care of them a little bit.So Li's mother thought that her heart was very hot, and she secretly hated that there was no way to make an agreement with the girl immediately.

While hesitating, someone called at the door: "Is Aunt Li at home?"
