Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

Chapter 158 Jian Shiming, Can You Stop Looking at Me That Way?

The two kept moving forward in this weird atmosphere. Tao Xi tried her best to let herself ignore the sight from her side, but she still couldn't hold back being looked at like this.

"Jian Shiming, can you stop looking at me like that?"

Seeing her was very embarrassing, she almost went the wrong way just now, but fortunately Niu remembered the way.

"I didn't look at you."

Jian Shiming spoke stiffly, "I was thinking about the problem, and by the way, I was looking at the road ahead."

"Then you really worked hard!"

Tao Xi gritted her teeth, but luckily she arrived in Yun County soon, otherwise she would have been pissed off by this guy.

This time, Tao Xi was familiar with the road, and he still took Jian Shiming to the vegetable market, and saw Liu Tie's men standing guard around here from a distance.

Xu was looking for Tao Xi who had beaten his master before, but they would never find him again, because Tao Xi never planned to use that makeup again.

He didn't even plan to go to the Qian Mansion. As a customer, he could develop further.

The bustling city is much more popular than before. Every household has something to eat, is more energetic, and has more energy to toss new things.

Still the same as last time, five cents a catty. To make a difference from last time, Tao Xi also got some radishes this time.

Jian Shiming had already discovered that there was a bag of radishes on the bullock cart, but he had the right to pretend that he didn't know.

"Carrots, potatoes and sweet potatoes, all five cents a catty!"

Different from the last time, Tao Xi used his own voice this time, which was sweet and sweet. With such a call, it instantly attracted the attention of many people.

Everyone in the countryside has grown grain, but many people living in the city still need to buy grain, so when they heard Tao Xi's words, they all crowded around excitedly.

"Little lady, it's a bit expensive for you. Last time, an aunt only sold it for four Wen a catty."

The little lady of a certain family spoke in a decent manner, if it weren't for the fact that she was also the aunt last time, Tao Xi almost believed it.

She sighed faintly, "Oh, the world is hard, the food our family collects is actually enough for our family to eat.

But there is no way, my husband is a good seedling who is studying, and now he is a scholar. We have to save some money for him to take the exam, so we can sell the food.

Sister, if you think it’s too expensive, go and look elsewhere. If I really can’t sell it, I’ll take it back and eat it myself. "

Jian Shiming: ...

He finally understood why Tao Xi asked him to hold the book and read it by the side just now, it was for this reason.

He couldn't help but twitched his mouth, but he still listened to her and read the book obediently.

The little lady saw that Tao Xi was speaking decently, and the person beside her said impatiently:

"If she doesn't want it, I want it. The little lady will give me ten catties as well."

"Okay."

Tao Xi raised a bright smile, showing her white teeth, shaking the eyes of the little lady who was bargaining just now, fearing that the things would be stolen, she also hurriedly said:
"And me, I want ten catties of sweet potatoes and five catties of radishes."

"Don't worry, don't worry, come one by one!"

Tao Xi couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and the movements of his hands never stopped. Seeing her so busy, Jian Shiming couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly put down the book in his hand.

"Ma'am, let me help you."

"No, no, Mr., your task is to study hard and try to make me a lady in the future!"

Tao Xi stopped him with a serious tone, and at that moment Jian Shiming almost blurted out the words that he will definitely make you a lady of Juren.

And all the people who heard these words smiled kindly, "Young lady is still considerate of your husband."

"Little scholar, work hard, your wife is so kind to you, you must not let her down!"

"Yes, yes, please study hard, we will not bully your wife!"

"..."

Xu has survived the disaster, and these people's faces are full of hope for a new life.

Tao Xi swiftly sold the grain on the bullock cart. In fact, she was not the only one who sold the grain, but she was the one with the most stuff.

Jian Shiming helped her forehead helplessly, and finally understood why she agreed so readily when she asked her to be with her this morning. It turned out that she had already planned it.

One of the two worked hard to sell things, and the other read decently. Soon there were fewer and fewer things on the bullock cart.

There were more and more copper coins in the basket in front of Tao Xi, she curled her lips with a contented smile.

This scene happened to be seen by a little girl who came out to buy vegetables not far away. Jian Sini's eyes widened slightly, and her eyes were full of shock.

That...that's the big brother and the big sister!
How do they have so much food?

Jian Sini was full of doubts, and raised her foot to ask, but the clinker was grabbed by the woman behind her.

"What are you going to do?"

"No."

Jian Sini lowered her eyelids, trembling, afraid to speak, for fear of being hated by this woman.

"Go, mom is still waiting for us to go back."

The mother-in-law had a straight face, and Jian Sini tightly pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingertips, her heart was full of hatred.

Earlier, her parents clearly said that she went to live a good life, but in the end she was able to eat and clothe herself warmly. She thought she was really lucky.

As a result, she only knew now that it was not like that at all, she was actually sold to the old bustard and became a lowly citizen.

When she was older and life in Yun County was easier, she would have to pick up guests. Thinking of this, Jian Sini hated the Jian family.

Can't help but glance back at Tao Xi and Jian Shiming bitterly, she stopped Sanni at that time, why didn't she stop her?
Tao Xi felt a malicious gaze, and suddenly looked over there, only to see an old woman walking into the corner.

She was busy at the moment and didn't have time to observe, but after more than an hour, these things were sold out.

"Would you like to go buy some more books?"

Tao Xi looked at Jian Shiming. Tao Xi had always supported the male protagonist's participation in the imperial examination.

Hearing the words, Jian Shiming nodded, "Okay, then let's go to the bookstore to have a look."

The two cleaned up the sacks on the ox cart. This time Tao Xi didn't drive the ox cart, but led the ox to go out of the downtown area.

But soon she caught a glimpse of a puppy nestling in front of an aunt. The puppy looked very small, and looked at the world curiously with wet eyes.

Its hair color is black, maybe the aunt didn't wash it, so it looks a bit dirty, Tao Xi doesn't know what kind it is.

But it can be seen that the puppy should not have been born for a long time. When she found that she had been staring at the puppy, the aunt couldn't help but speak.

"Little lady, this dog was just born by my big dog. The family is in difficulty and can't afford it. Do you want it?"

"Where's the bitch?"

Tao Xi frowned. When she asked this question, she found that the puppy stood up weakly and wagged its tail at her.

It's so cute, she softened her heart for a moment.

The aunt sighed, "In this damn drought, people can't get enough to eat, so how can there be food for dogs?

It goes out to look for food every day by itself, but it is still very hungry and skinny. Didn't it disappear after giving birth to a puppy? "

Anyway, it is a dog that has been raised for several years. The aunt is still a little bit reluctant, but there is no way, they can't afford it.
