After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 205 Half Embroidery
More than 20 carts of grain, that is really not a decimal!

Even Lu Laohan couldn't help asking: "Why do you buy so much grain? The wheat will be harvested in a month or so. Why are you so anxious to buy grain?"

"Father, it's not what you said, we have to make preparations early? Besides, there are more than 100 people in Zhuangzi's side. If you don't pay wages, you can't let them eat, right?"

Lu Laohan choked, as if he really said this.

However, he just said to make some preparations, and didn't let her buy so much food back!

How much money does this cost!

What's worse, he found that half of the more than 20 carts of grain turned out to be fine grain!
Tsk tsk, it hurts even more.

However, thinking that most of the money in the family is also earned by the daughter-in-law, I have no idea.

Besides, all the food was bought, and it was not considered a prodigal, so it was acceptable.

So much food was temporarily stored in the warehouse of the workshop because there was nothing to do. The granary at Zhuangzi’s side had not been cleaned, and the roof had to be cleaned up again. Otherwise, when it rained, all the food would be gone.

The grain had been stored in Lujia Village for three days, and when the granary at Zhuangzi was finished, it was taken away. Because the amount was a bit large, Chen Jiu even brought people to escort it all the way.

There is no need to worry about the food issue for the time being, so Chen Xingyan found an excuse to go to the county town.

Chen Xingyan hasn't been to the county seat for a while, Mrs. Chen and Ms. Chen miss her a little.

After Chen Xingyan pointed out Miss Chen's embroidery skills, he took people to the jade jewelry shop.

When Chen Youchang went to Fucheng, Chen Xingyan gave him two sticks of ginseng to sell. He said that Lu Daxiong dug them in the mountains before and she kept them all the time. Now that the family needed money, he asked him to sell them. .

Chen Youchang saw that the young lady trusted her so much, so he naturally didn't dare to take it lightly. The price of the two ginsengs was not low. After buying the grain, there were still more than 1000 taels of silver left.

The price of grain is not high now, mainly because the grain supply in Fucheng is sufficient, and there will be new grain coming soon, and the price of old grain will drop at that time, so at this moment, grain merchants have begun to sell their own in large quantities There is food.

Chen Xingyan picked and picked, and only got one jade ornament, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

It would be great if I could go to Fucheng.

There are many jade jewelry shops in Fucheng, and some of them must be of good quality.

After all, Gaoyang County is a small place. There are only two jade jewelry shops in the entire county, and there are not many jade jewelry with a price of more than 100 taels.

If you want to go to Fucheng, you probably have to wait until Lu Daxiong comes back.

Now there is no secret between her and Lu Daxiong. Although there is no mention of her special ability, Lu Daxiong can guess it. If this is the reason, I believe she will not object to her going to Fucheng.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 days since Lu Daxiong left Lujia Village.

The new ancestral hall of the Lu family has also been repaired, and some interior decoration is currently being done. The wooden pillars need to be painted, and the green bricks in some places are not neatly laid out and need to be done slowly. In short, there are only some odd jobs left.

After the new ancestral hall is completed, it is necessary to pick an auspicious day before it can be officially moved in. Now the village chief is thinking that Lu Daxiong must be present at that time.

It can be said that Lu Daxiong contributed more than half of his efforts to such a major event as the construction of the ancestral hall.

Lu Erhu went to the town a few more times, but still no employer was willing to employ him, mainly because he was worried that one day he would betray his master again.

Lu Erhu felt annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't go to the village head about such things. After all, if it wasn't for the arrangement of the village head and others, he wouldn't be sitting at home safe and sound.

It's just that when I think that all the money I got has flown away, and now I can't even find an errand, my mood is quite bad.

At first, I thought my uncle could help him, but unexpectedly, it was also useless.

Lu Erhu simply went to the county seat, and at worst, he would start from scratch. It's not that he, Lu Erhu, had never been a clerk before, so he didn't believe that he would starve to death without leaving Lu Daxiong's house.

Seeing that his son had made up his mind, Lu Dazhu had no choice but to let him go.

Although he didn't say anything, he hated Daxiong's wife in his heart.

Obviously they all live in the same village and are a family, but Chen Xingyan is unwilling to take care of them. He would rather let Lu Youcai and others make money than take care of the two tigers. It is really chilling.

What they thought, Chen Xingyan didn't know, and didn't care, she was busy entertaining a distinguished guest right now.

The distinguished guests who came were accompanied by Mrs. Chen.

Mainly because of Chen Xingyan's double-sided embroidery skills.

Chen Xingyan knew that the opportunity to earn money by himself was coming again.

This time, the other party asked for a screen.

"I understand what Ma'am means. It's just that such a large finished product may take a long time. If Ma'am is in a hurry, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

"To tell you the truth, Mrs. Chen, this screen has already been embroidered for more than half. It was really inconvenient to continue because something happened to my previous embroiderer's family. That's why we thought of inviting Mrs. Chen out of the mountain."

Chen Xingyan hesitated for a moment: "May I ask what happened? Oh, I mean, is there something wrong with the embroidery?"

"Madam Chen, don't worry, the embroidery is in good condition."

When Mrs. Zishang saw and said this, she had nothing to hide.

"To tell you the truth, Mrs. Chen, that mother-in-law of Mrs. Xiu is a domineering and powerful woman. She beat her up just because of a bowl of porridge, and ended up hurting her finger. The doctor said that she would have to take care of her for at least three months. She had to wait. , but we can't wait. I also ask Mrs. Chen to take over this embroidery so that it can be completed smoothly."

Chen Xingyan was not very willing to take on such a job.

A semi-finished product, who knows if there is anything tricky about this thing?
What if something happened to the part that someone else embroidered, and she was to be blamed in the end?
"I don't know if Madam brought the embroidery pattern? Although I can do double-sided embroidery, it doesn't mean that I can do it with any difficulty."

"I've brought it with me, please let Mrs. Chen take a look."

Chen Xingyan took it over and took a look. The pattern wasn't too complicated, it was just an auspicious pattern, and it should be given to the elders.

"Dare to ask Madam this embroidery, but do you want to give it to the elders?"

Mrs. Zishang smiled and said: "Exactly, this is my mother-in-law's birthday. I specially ordered someone to rush to make it. I never thought that something like this would happen halfway. I also ask Mrs. Chen to help."

Chen Xingyan pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, where is the semi-finished product now? I have to look at the thing before deciding whether to take it or not."

"It should be. I have brought the things."

After Madam Zishang finished speaking, she ordered the people behind her to go to the carriage to bring in the things.
