farming female castellan

Chapter 42 She is the county magistrate's prostitute

Seeing her surprised face, Huaishan asked her, "Is the bag not good-looking?"

Chen Fan smiled: "I am amazed at the style of the bag, it is very beautiful, and the embroidery on the bag is very delicate."

"Does it look good? I embroidered it!" Huai Shan was very proud.

"So powerful?" Chen Fan blurted out, "You're only 12 years old."

"Girls start learning needlework when they are five or six years old. My mother's embroidery skills are very good, and many embroiderers in the Liu family are also very good. I will embroider one for you some other day."

"Then I'm really happy." Chen Fan expressed his thanks, lifted up the hem of his skirt, and took off his two purses, which made Huaishan's eyes widen.

"Miss' things are all tied here?" Xiao He asked.

Chen Fan nodded: "Yes, it feels safer to keep it next to your body when fleeing." If she didn't flirt like this, how would she explain the purse she gave Huaishan that night?
Huaishan said, "I prepared money for my sister."

"I know my sister is kind to my sister. It's always good to have something on your body." Chen Fan said and handed the purse to Xiao He.

The carriage stopped in a certain street, and they got out of the carriage.

This street is not the one that Chen Fan visited the day before yesterday, and it is not as wide as that street.Order has been restored on the street, and there is no panic on the faces of pedestrians and businesses.The streets are clean and there is almost no rubbish in sight.

Huaishan said: "This street is the busiest. There are many shops, snacks, and various items. We can have lunch on the street after a while."

Both Dao Sui and Xiao He nodded happily.

Perhaps it was a comfort or revenge consumption after the turmoil. There were so many people on the street, shoulder to shoulder, no wonder the carriage didn't drive in.

Chen Fan moved among the bustling crowd, looking at the famous shops on both sides of the street, and the open stalls on the street.Clothes, jewelry, clay figurines... It dazzled her eyes.In my eyes, there are altars of wine piled up into the wall, boxes of attractively colored rouge powder, bursts of heat rising from the pot, the intoxicating aroma of wine lingers at the tip of the nose, and the rich scent of powder in an instant. After a while, there are all kinds of meaty aromas sandwiched with onion, garlic, and fennel.Enthusiastic yelling came one after another, and they even competed openly and secretly: "Seed cakes and sesame cakes", "steamed cakes and steamed cakes"... It seems that whoever has a louder voice and warmer emotions will make the cakes bigger and more delicious.

This time, instead of visiting the old streets in the ancient town, she really lingered in the ancient streets.She felt the breath of life in this world, felt her existence in this breath of life, and a smile could not help but curl up at the corner of her mouth.

They went into a shop.Chen Fan took a closer look and saw that it was a jewelry store.

She remembered the jewelry store on her first day in town, but what happened?

Huaishan introduced to Chen Fan: "This store is not the most upscale in Yuanfeng County, but it is the most exquisite. There are many kinds of jewelry here, and the workmanship is very fine. Many people like to buy here."

Chen Fan nodded in agreement.Different commodities always have their own selling points.She looked at the ancient jewelry with great interest.

She was quickly attracted to the jewelry, and she liked every piece, especially the step rockers.Every line and every embellishment of those jewelry was exquisite to her.Even if it was a simple hairpin, she felt that the shape just made her feel smooth and comfortable.

Huaishan saw that she was fascinated by it, so she wanted to buy it, but she saw that she also liked the other one very much, and she was fascinated by the other one, and she looked at a row of satisfied expressions. hesitated.

"Does sister like the jewelry here?" Huaishan asked her.Seeing that Chen Fan didn't respond, he asked again.

Chen Fan came back to his senses: "Ah? Ah, I like it, I like it very much. I like to appreciate beautiful things." After thinking for a while, he added, "I just like to appreciate, not want to own. Owning has a trade-off. Appreciating You don’t need to choose, you can enjoy it to your heart’s content.”

Huaishan smiled: "Then I will help my sister to choose two pieces, I hope my sister will like it." She pointed to a Bu Yao: "Shopkeeper Liu, please show me this one."

"Shopkeeper Liu, please show me this." A voice sounded at the same time as Huaishan.

Chen Fan's whole body trembled, is he about to encounter a scene of stealing jewelry?
Huai Shan turned her head and looked at a girl, and that girl happened to be looking at Huai Shan.

All the people in the store saluted the girl and said in unison: "Hello, Miss Shi." Chen Fan followed suit, but his lips moved, but no sound came out.She doesn't know the lady, and the lines can't be synchronized.

That Miss Shi also bowed back, and then looked at Huai Shan: "I just came in, and I fell in love with that one right away. Coincidentally, Miss Liu also fell in love with that one?"

Huai Shan smiled and replied: "I also suddenly thought that one was pretty. Ms. Shi likes it, so I'll buy other ones. The jewelry here is pretty good."

Ms. Shi also smiled and said: "Miss Liu likes it, so I should buy it for Miss Liu. I see that the other jewelry is the same. The jewelry in this shop is indeed very beautiful." out of the shop.

Chen Fan was stunned, this scene is over after just one round?This round is still a friendly one-person conversation.

Before Chen Fan could ask, Huai Shan started to introduce: "She is the daughter of County Magistrate Shi, Miss Shi."

Miss official?This official lady is quite kind.

Huaishan pointed to another piece of jewelry: "Shopkeeper Liu, please wrap that piece for me."

Shopkeeper Liu put the jewelry into a box and handed it to Huaishan.Rice ear opened the bag and took out the copper coins to pay.Chen Fan didn't want to have a few rounds with her, so he said thank you and took the box.

Chen Fan also pointed out a piece of jewelry that seemed suitable for Huaishan, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up.

Xiao He took out the two purses from his bag, Chen Fan opened one of the purses, took out a very small piece of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.The silver bar was only half the size of her little finger, but it was delicately made, like a small cube of sugar.

All the eyes on the scene were focused on Chen Fan, making Chen Fan's scalp tingle and his heart flustered.Did she use the silver wrongly?Although copper plates and cloth were the main materials in ancient times, gold and silver can also be used, right?She was embarrassed to use the copper coins that Liu Jiannan and the others gave her at the Liu family, but she hadn't had time to exchange them for some copper coins of this era.

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes lit up, he looked at the small silver piece over and over again, put it in his mouth and bit it, then took out a small scale, weighed the silver, said one, two or six, and put it on the counter. A string of copper coins, two small strings of copper coins, and another pile of copper coins.This series of operations stunned Chen Fan.

So cautious and precise?

She couldn't help but look at her little finger, secretly surprised: it turned out that such an inconspicuous piece of silver was more than one or two halves.

Xiao He neatly took out a handkerchief and wrapped the copper plate.

"Let's go." Huai Shan said, and the four of them turned around and walked out.There was a murmur of discussion from behind.

Dao Sui and Xiao He looked at Chen Fan several times.

Chen Fan smiled: "If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Dao Sui hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back, and asked Chen Fan softly, "Does the girl use silver in her hometown?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "We also use copper plates, not many silver ones. I only have three very small pieces of silver. I don't have any copper plates on me, so I can only use silver." After telling Liu Huaishan that in order to give a gift, she used her only three pieces of silver, so she tried to make up a sentence: "For a small piece of silver, I found such a large string, two small strings, and a pile of copper coins for me. I feel that I have earned it." many."

The three of Huaishan couldn't help laughing.
