Nongmen's fierce wife: the prince brings a huge amount of the national treasury to seek marriag

Chapter 9 The Ruler
The boss looked back at Xu Ruoruo, and said to Mrs. Song: "This is a customer who just came to my place to buy cloth. I want to make two clothes by myself, so I brought them here for you."

"Thank you, sister," Mrs. Song turned to Pei Zigui and said, "Zigui, hurry up and pour a glass of water for the guests."

It wasn't for the sake of her family's tea, the boss quickly said, "Don't bother."

Xu Ruoruo also refused: "No need."

Pei Ziguiquan pretended not to hear, and strode into the house.

Xu Ruoruo looked at Mrs. Song, and found that Mrs. Song and her son looked about six to seven cents alike. Her complexion was rather bitter, and her face was full of traces of hard work. She could vaguely see her youthful appearance. A pair of starches has shed some skin.

Xu Ruoruo nodded to Mrs. Song: "Hello Mrs. Song, my surname is Xu, this is my husband, surnamed Lu, I am really clumsy, the boss said you are good at making clothes, so I would like to ask you to give me and my husband Lang each makes two pieces of clothing, and I don't know how to calculate the price."

Although Xu Ruoruo was poorly dressed, he couldn't hide the vitality on his body, and he looked like an ordinary person.

And because Lu Xing was here, Mrs. Song was a little cautious, and said in a low voice, "The boss is too flattering. The clothes I make here have always been priced at the same price. A child's seven pennies, a girl's nine pennies, and a gentleman's ten pennies."

Of course, the kind of clothes Mrs. Song mentioned refers to the kind without embroidery.

As soon as Xu Ruoruo heard the price, he knew it was a real bargain. In this era, there were no tools such as sewing machines, and clothes were all made by hand, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

She has no problem: "Then please trouble Mrs. Song, make two clothes for me and Fu Lang each, this is the fabric."

"No problem, Mrs. Xu will come in with me to measure the size."

Xu Ruoruo: "Okay."

When the two of them went in, they bumped into Pei Zigui who came out with tea.

Mrs. Song hurriedly said: "Zigui, you can measure Lu Langjun's size later."

Because Pei Zigui was going to test his fame, Mrs. Song was very concerned about her reputation, and subconsciously avoided Lu Xing.

Pei Zigui agreed.

After Xu Ruoruo finished measuring the size, Pei Zigui led Lu Xing into the house.

The boss smiled and said to Xu Ruoruo: "Boy Pei is very good at studying. I heard that next year he will go to Fucheng to take the exam. If he passes the exam, he will be the only master of Juren in our town."

Xu Ruoruo was startled, and couldn't help looking into the room. She didn't expect the quiet Pei Zigui to be so good. Since the boss said so, it means that the probability of being admitted to Juren is still very high.

That's Juren, you can be an official after you pass the exam.

Truly a child prodigy.

Xu Ruoruo couldn't help sighing: "Then Mrs. Song has finally come to the end of her hardships."

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand how much Miss Song has suffered in order to support Pei Zigui to study.

"That's not it," the boss said with a smile, "Boy Pei was only 12 years old when he was admitted as a scholar last year. Not to mention the town, even in the county, there are many people who want him to be their son-in-law, but they are all rejected by him." The boy declined."

"When I get admitted to Juren in the future, I don't know how lucky it will be."

Speaking of this, Xu Ruoruo couldn't help being curious: "Then no one sent some money to his family."

To be honest, the situation of Mrs. Song's family is really bad. It seems that Pei Zigui doesn't even have a good dress on him.

Moreover, Xu Ruoruo knew from Yuanshen's memory that the masters in the school in the town were just as talented as Pei Zigui, and that if Pei Zigui wanted to take the exam, going to school in Fucheng was the best choice.

The boss said: "Of course someone gave them away. The Liu family on the east side of the town, the Wang family on the west side of the town, and several houses in the middle of our Tianshui Lane. They were all sent back by Boy Pei's family."

"I can't remember what he said. Anyway, he didn't want it. He would help Mrs. Song starch and wash clothes when he came back from school, copy books in the bookstore, and write letters to people around him. He earned hard money. "

Thinking about it differently, the boss felt that if he was Pei Zigui, he would never be able to refuse those belongings, but Pei Zigui refused.

So she firmly believed that Pei Zigui would do something.

This is also the reason why she usually introduces Mrs. Song to Mrs. Song when she has customers who want to make clothes and starch laundry. The boss hopes that Pei Zigui will remember this, so that she can go on multiple paths in the future.

The boss was very close to Xu Ruoruo, and his voice was so low that Mrs. Song didn't hear it at all.

Xu Ruoruo couldn't help but think of Lu Xing, this cheap husband seems to be a year older than Pei Zigui.

There is really no comparison between people and people, and the gap will be revealed once they are compared.

Xu Ruoruo smacked her mouth twice, but she would not force Lu Xing to study just because of this.

Everyone has aspirations.

And she believed that she would not be unable to pay the taxes in the future. As for Lu Xing, what happened to him after reconciliation had nothing to do with her.

Xu Ruoruo changed the subject and started chatting with the boss.

Lady Song also interjected from time to time.

The atmosphere among the three of them was exceptionally harmonious, and when they were chatting happily, a painful wail came from the room:
"grandmother--"

It was Pei Zigui's voice.

Lady Song immediately stood up and ran into the house.

Xu Ruoruo and the boss looked at each other: "Let's go and have a look too."

Before the two of them walked over, they heard Lady Song crying: "Mom, wake up—"

"Why did you leave like this, you, you haven't seen Zigui High School yet, woo woo woo—"

Mrs. Song sobbed softly at first, and her voice became louder and louder. Finally, her knees gave way and her whole body fell to the ground. She simply sat on the ground, rubbing her hands back and forth on her legs, her throat gradually letting go. Open, and finally burst into tears.

After the boss rushed in, he quickly squatted down to support Mrs. Song: "Sister, you, you have to take care of yourself."

At this time, Grandma Pei fell to the ground, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and anyone who looked at it felt that there was no hope.

Xu Ruoruo said calmly, "Lu Xing, call the doctor."

Pei Zigui choked up his voice: "It's useless, grandma isn't breathing anymore."

After saying this, the corners of Pei Zigui's mouth twitched involuntarily, his chest heaved violently, tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably, he felt the crying rolling in his throat, and finally he couldn't suppress it completely.

Xu Ruoruo took a deep breath: "Go and shout."

Lu Xing hesitated for a moment, then ran away: "Okay."

The boss wanted to say no, he was out of breath, and it was useless to call the doctor. When he looked up, Lu Xingying was gone, so he had to hug Mrs. Song tightly.

Xu Ruoruo knelt down beside Grandma Pei, reached out and groped Grandma Pei's chest, and untied the clothes on her chest.

Pei Zigui was so shocked by this scene that he couldn't speak: "You, what are you doing?"

Xu Ruoruo didn't raise her head: "Don't talk, your grandma may still be saved."
