Xianyu's leisurely life through books

Chapter 22

From the corner of the eye, I saw Du Rouhui's sharp gaze, and Pei Xiaoxiao's scalp went numb.

Song Yu, thank you so much!

As if stung by a bee, Pei Xiaoxiao suddenly withdrew her hand, and kept her distance from him calmly.

Song Yu raised his eyebrows and scanned the crowd, but he didn't see Song Ziyang's sour talent.

Confused in his heart, he deliberately approached her, and said in a gentle and doting voice: "Xiaoxiao, are you tired today?"

Pei Xiaoxiao's scalp was numb.

What's going on with this guy?
If eyes can kill, she believes that she has already been hacked to pieces by Du Rouhui.

Pei Xiaoxiao smiled stiffly: "Hehe, it's okay."

Without waiting for him to react, he quickly returned to the East Wing.

He was indeed deliberately keeping a distance from himself.

Song Yu's eyes darkened, and he turned his head to scan the crowd again.

Song Ziyang was indeed not there.

Who is she worried about?

Song Yu walked into the kitchen sullenly, and Uncle Big Niu put the charcoal stove away, then turned to drive the ox cart home.

The Song family closed the courtyard door, and swarmed into the east wing, surrounding Pei Xiaoxiao and Song Qi who were settling accounts.

"The meatballs are really sold out?" Xiao Han asked impatiently.

Listen carefully, it's still a little sour.

Pei Xiaoxiao smiled but said, "Second sister-in-law, I have let you down, I am really sold out."

Xiao Han: "..."

Mother Song changed the topic: "You didn't lose money, did you?"

In fact, what she wanted to ask more was how much she earned.

However, asking this question is suspected of asking for money.

Pei Xiaoxiao paused, took out a small string of copper coins that she had just counted, and handed it to Mother Song.

"I sold a total of 150 Wen. After excluding charcoal fire, travel expenses, labor and other costs, there are 58 Wen left. This is 29 Wen. Mother, you take it first."

Song Qi hurriedly said: "The third sister-in-law said that I would go out to help today, and forced me to give me ten Wen. Mother, this is five Wen. You take it."

Going out for a trip, working for half a day, and earning 34 liters from the public...

Jia sincerely praised: "Wow, I'm almost as strong as two strong laborers!"

A grown-up laborer works part-time in the county town, earning [-] Wen a day.

Pei Xiaoxiao and Song Qi were also busy for most of the day.

This job is very good...

"Meatballs are very popular, and there are not enough to sell today." Song Qi said with a smile, "Sister-in-law San said that I will order an extra catty of pork later."

"It's so easy to sell, are you too busy?" Jia Shi was eager to try.

"It's just about poking a meatball and collecting money." Song Qi waved her hand, "I won't follow tomorrow."

"That's it." Jia was a little disappointed, and laughed again, "The third sibling is really amazing, one person can support two strong laborers."

"More than that!" Song Qi said, "If you increase the amount tomorrow, you might earn nearly a hundred dollars!"

Everyone groaned.

"A hundred cash a day, wouldn't you be able to earn three taels of silver in that month?"

Even if you pay half of it, you still have one, two or five dollars.

Pei Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "There will be rainy days, and I can't earn that much in a month, and if holidays are excluded, two taels will be enough."

Erliang is also very good!

Six mu of land, harvested twice a year, produces about 12 catties of rice, [-]% of the ascites is removed, and five cents a catty, only [-] taels a year.

In other words, the money Pei Xiaoxiao earns alone is enough for their whole family to work hard for a whole year!

This is too...

Song's mother was overjoyed.

She never thought that Pei Xiaoxiao could really make money.

Unexpected joy!
She just said that the third child's eyesight can't be so bad, it turned out to be a wise eye.

Song Rui was still chopping firewood in the yard, and when he heard the conversation inside, his eyes were complicated.

Unexpectedly, this troublemaker really came up with something famous.

The children swarmed around Pei Xiaoxiao, holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she gave, their eyes filled with joy.

Third aunt is really nice.

People are beautiful, can make money, and buy them delicious food!
Almost everyone is quite happy.

Xiao Han stood behind the crowd with an uncertain expression on his face.

Looking at it this way, isn't Pei Xiaoxiao better than her?

No, this is just the beginning, only one successful sale.

In business, if you earn, you lose.

It's hard to say whether Pei Xiaoxiao can continue to make money!
She, Han Xiaojuan, is the one who can really support this family.

The sun was half setting.

Song Yu was carrying two catties of boar pork to Song San's house, but happened to meet him at the gate of his courtyard.

"Brother Yu, come here as soon as you come, why don't you bring any gifts." Song San greeted with a smile.

"Just hunted, fresh, bring it here for you to taste."

"Come in and have a drink!" Song San warmly invited.

"No, I've already eaten."

"Hey, let's have a good chat, brother." Song San couldn't help but drag Song Yu into the room.

Song San works in the yamen of the county, and his family background is not bad, and he has all kinds of leeks and meat.

"Brother Yu, don't worry, I have already greeted the Yamen brothers, they will help to pay attention to my sister-in-law, and nothing happened today." Song San knew what he was concerned about, so he went straight to the point.

Song Yu smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Should be." Song San waved his hand, then said hesitantly, "Brother, Song Ziyang is also studying at Liuyun Academy... Sister-in-law is setting up a stall there... Is it all right?"

Song Yu squeezed the wine glass in his hand, and said after a while: "As long as no one disturbs her to do business."

If Pei Xiaoxiao dares to cuckold him...

Break the little short leg.

Song San nodded: "I've already said hello to my brothers, and you should also tell my sister-in-law that if anything happens, just ask her to come and look for it."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Song Yu thanked again.

After saying that, he pinched the wine glass and was slightly lost in thought.

His knuckles were all white.

Song San knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed the subject: "Brother, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Song Yu came back to his senses.

"Aren't you taking Brother Ting and Brother Xiao to learn martial arts now? Can you let my nephew Song Ji follow?" Song San pulled a twelve or thirteen-year-old child to him and asked.

Are you apprentice?
Looking at the sturdy half-sized man, Song Yu pondered, "He's a bit old, his aptitude..."

The last time he caught the traffickers, he owed Song San a favor, so it was hard to shirk.

Song San waved his hand: "Just learn some boxing skills and archery during the slack season, so that you can be a fast catcher in the future, or you can go hunting in the mountains."

"It's not difficult." Song Yu nodded.

Song San smiled openly: "Ah Ji, why don't you come over to see your master."

Different from ordinary embroidered legs, Song Yu has learned kung fu from an expert in a serious way, the kind with inner feelings.

If my nephew follows him, even if he can only learn leftovers, he won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future!
Song Yu smiled and said, "Just call me Uncle Yu."

In a twinkling of an eye, September [-]th is around the corner, the Double Ninth Festival, and the college is closed.

Pei Xiaoxiao was very happy.

She hasn't had a good time traveling so far.

Make an appointment tomorrow!
However, when you go out to play, you must look beautiful.

Shaping eyebrows, applying rouge, washing hair, preparing beautiful clothes... are also arranged.

Everything else is easy to say, but washing the hair is the most troublesome thing.

In ancient times, government offices and academies usually had one day off every five days, which was called a holiday for washing hair and bathing.

These people do not do hard work on weekdays, and are much cleaner.

Pei Xiaoxiao works under the sun every day, she can't compare to these civil servants and scholars, she has to wash once every two or three days.

However, the most unbearable thing for her is that the fragrant soap sold in the market has no effect on hair care.

There is no hair conditioner or anything.

I don't know if it's because I washed too often recently, and my hair started to feel a little dry.

This made her very unhappy.

For this reason, she inquired many ways, and finally got a folk prescription: use egg white.

Good light in the middle of the afternoon.

Mother Song and Aunt Song Qi were doing needlework in the outer hall.

Pei Xiaoxiao was at the entrance of the East Chamber, pinching the bronze mirror to carefully trim her eyebrows.

Well, the eyebrow shape is perfect, which is what she wants, but it's a little pale.

Tomorrow before going out, just use Meidai to touch up the color.

Thinking about hair care, she took out eleven copper coins from her bosom: "Xiaoxue, go buy ten eggs for Third Aunt...the remaining one copper coin is your errand fee."

Song's mother didn't even raise her head: "There are still eggs at home. If you want to eat, you can take a few. What do you do with the unjust money?"
