After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 54
"Mom, it will be much more convenient for us to go to the city to do business after we have an ox cart. For example, we can rub the ice powder at home in advance, so we don't have to get up early every day to go to the shop to work." .”

Li Shi was collecting the clothes, so Su Xiaomu followed her and tirelessly explained the benefits of having a bullock cart.

But Mrs. Li didn't think the money had to be spent.

She put the clean clothes on the chair next to her, looked at her and said, "It's just a matter of getting up early, and it doesn't take much effort.

Besides, before you and your sister-in-law pushed the scooter into the city, didn't you also do business?At that time, I got up earlier than now. "

Mrs. Li is not so generous, a cow costs seven or eight taels of silver.

Seven or eight taels is enough for their family to live for several months.

They have some spare money now, but it is definitely not enough to live a life with a car and no walking.

"But even if my mother doesn't think about my business with my sister-in-law, she should think about my husband, right?"

That's all Su Xiaomu said, knowing that she and Yin's family were not enough to cause Li's distress, she used Gu Jingcheng's trump card with ease.

Everything at home is for him to study, so it doesn't matter if he sacrifices a little.

Sure enough, upon hearing that the car purchase was related to Gu Jingcheng, Li's eyebrows immediately relaxed.

She said, "What does this have to do with Jingcheng?"

"Of course it does matter, if our family has an ox cart, wouldn't it be much more convenient for Xianggong to go home every time?
And even if you don't consider this, if it's like yesterday, Xianggong didn't take something, he doesn't have to wait until the next day to go back to the academy in someone else's ox cart. "

Su Xiaomu replaced Gu Jingcheng, and by the way, recalled the inconvenience of going to school when she was studying, so she spoke more clearly.

"Xianggong is already very tired from studying in the academy.

He can neither get the love of his parents at home, nor enjoy the care of his elder brother. He is outside alone, and it is inconvenient for him to go home occasionally.

Mother, you think, if you are a husband, wouldn't you feel very sad? "

When she said this, she wiped her nose with tears in her eyes, looking emotional.

Mrs. Li never thought of this.

She recalled seeing Gu Jingcheng's thin appearance yesterday, and her heart ached a lot: "Okay, what you said makes sense, we really must buy this car."

There were no conditions before, but now that there are conditions, Jingcheng must not be wronged anymore.

"I just said, Mother loves my husband so much, how could she be willing to let him be wronged?
Tomorrow, tomorrow, my sister-in-law and I will go to the city to see the carriage. By the way, I will tell my husband the good news and let him know that it will be convenient for him to come back later! "

Su Xiaomu is really excited now, she doesn't know that Gu Jingcheng is inconvenient, anyway, she won't have to walk anymore!
The second day was originally a day when the store was closed for rest, but Su Xiaomu still got up early and went to the city to buy a bullock cart.

For the time being, only she and Li Shi know about this matter.

What Li meant was to tell the family after buying it, otherwise, she didn't like to hear the whole family talking about it.

When she arrived at the market, she immediately fell in love with a strong bull, but the price was not as beautiful as the bull's appearance.

"Boss, I really want it. You can sell it to me for four taels of silver. I brought all the money. As long as you nod, I will take the cart along the way."

Su Xiaomu looked at the scalper she liked, and was really only so satisfied.

This ox has a tall body, with the prefix of "Guo", and its nose makes "huchi" and "huchi" sounds from time to time. It has a pair of sensitive ears erected on both sides of its head, which swing from time to time.

The curved and pointed horns on both sides of the ears are like two steel drills, and the limbs are well-proportioned and powerful, which can be called the best among cattle.

"Little girl, no matter how sincere you are, you can't let me suffer, right? You are straightforward, and I will tell you the truth. My scalper can't get it without ten taels of silver. This is a good scalper from other places. Our local Calves of this size cannot be bred."

The boss didn't hold her back either, and recommended the cow next to her.

He patted the cow on the back, and the cow let out a "moo..."

"This one, six silver coins, you take it away, if you want a cart, six taels and a half."

"Okay, then I'll take this end."

Reluctantly, Su Xiaomu led the cow in a cart back home, she looked back at the prince in the cow every step of the way, tears streaming down her face!
Ten cars of silver... It was a huge sum of money that she couldn't part with at all.

To put it bluntly, ten taels of silver are enough to buy five of her.

But this cow is really the most handsome cow she has ever seen.

Slowly driving the bullock cart back to the village, Su Xiaomu heard the exclamation of the passing villagers as soon as he reached the gate of the village.

The aunt gasped, and came forward to look at the bullock cart in disbelief: "I said, daughter-in-law of the Gu family, your family is living so well now, do you have the money to buy a car?"

"That's not right, didn't all your family's money go to support Gu Lao San's education?

How can there be extra money to buy this thing?My God, look at this cow, it is very strong, it can help the family with a lot of farm work. "

Auntie's eyes were full of envy, and of course there was a trace of jealousy.

Who in this village doesn't know that although the Gu family has a scholar, they are as poor as ordinary farmers like them.

Even life is not as good as them.

After all, reading costs money, and buying books and ink, isn't that a big expense?

When my aunt called, people wandering around in the village heard it, and they all came to Su Xiaomu to join in the fun.

One and two surrounded the cart, looking at their cows, and exclaimed with envy and jealousy.

The Gu family also came over at this time, Mrs. Li didn't go out on purpose today, but planned to come to the gate of the village at the right time to wait for Su Xiaomu to come back.

However, they came a bit late, and now the gate of the village has been completely surrounded.

"Gu Ruochen, Gu Ruochen, this is the malt candy my mother gave me. I'll share it with you. Can you let me see the ox cart later?"

The children in the village couldn't squeeze into the crowd of adults, and they were curious to see the ox cart, so they took candies to please the children of Gu's family.

Gu Ruonan's place was also very lively, several half-grown girls held a large bunch of wild flowers in their hands, and talked to her softly: "Let's take a look too, after watching Niu Niu, let's play house together!" , let you be my mother."

"Then let's make an agreement. I'll invite you to come and see it later when the third aunt brings the cow back!"

Gu Ruonan was not tempted at first, but when she heard that she could be a "mother", she couldn't hold back the temptation.

The adults of the Gu family are also very excited now. Li Shi only told them that they had to come to the gate of the village for something, but he didn't say that the family had added an ox cart.
