Beloved Concubine

Chapter 6
Chen Xiao folded his clothes on the wooden bed and lay down, and soon fell asleep.She is so tired.

Although she has participated in outdoor hiking before, her "teammates" are different.

Fang Yu and Chun Hong are too capable to leave!And it's fast.In order not to be delayed, she tried her best to keep up, without resting all the way.

Her physical fitness is not bad, but compared with Fang Yu and Chun Hong, she feels so weak.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she was awakened by voices outside the house.

"How much do you give me?"

a man's voice.

"Fifty Wen."

Chunhong's voice.

"Only fifty coins!" The man raised his voice: "His one is not much more than mine, and you gave seventy coins."

"His is better than yours." Chunhong said.

"Add more."

"I can't add it, just fifty coins. If you want to sell it, sell it."

"Okay, okay." The man compromised.

Then came another woman's voice.

"Look at me, how much is it?"

"Two hundred Wen." Chunhong said.

"Two hundred coins! If you sell it in the county, you can sell it for at least three hundred coins!" The woman was not satisfied with the price.

"Then you can take it to the county seat and sell it. It's more than 100 miles back and forth." Chunhong said.

"Add more, two hundred words is really too little."

"220 texts. That's the maximum number."

"Add more, 240 Wen?"

"220 essays. You see we have so many things, we can't even memorize them."

Chunhong bargained harder with the woman.

Chen Xiao got up from the bed suspiciously and walked out of the house.I saw five or six villagers surrounding Chunhong, carrying baskets on their backs.

"you're awake."

Standing at the door with arms folded, Fang Yu saw Chen Xiao coming out and greeted her.

"What are you doing?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Elder Sister Pu went to exchange money before, but she couldn't find it, so Chunhong proposed to pay with something. This little girl is really good at calculating, and she doesn't suffer at all."

With a smile on Fang Yu's mouth, it was interesting to watch Chunhong bargain with others.

"Miss Pu?"

"It's the hostess of this house."

"Oh. So she's now...?"

Sister Pu stood next to Chunhong, and they seemed to be shopping for something from the villagers together.

Fang Yu said: "I weighed one or two taels of silver for Chunhong, and it was worth 600 Wen. She had made an agreement with Elder Sister Pu before that we would pay [-] Wen for one night's stay here, and food was not included. Buying chickens, plus buying clothes, there are more than [-] coins in total. I said that I don’t need to look for it, but this little girl doesn’t want to suffer, so she wants to exchange the remaining money for things.”

"Buying clothes?" Chen Xiao was puzzled.

Fang Yu glanced at her.

"Your clothes, as well as my clothes, should be changed. Do as the Romans do, our clothes are too eye-catching."

Chen Xiao took it for granted.

Fang Yu's attire is at least the costume of this era, but it doesn't look like an ordinary person.

And her own body is completely "alien".

Thinking of the clothes on her body, Chen Xiao hurriedly hid inside the house.

Fang Yu followed into the room and said:
"The meal is already ready, I want to let you sleep for a while. Let Miss Pu prepare the meal now?"

"it is good."

Fang Yu went to ask Sister Pu to prepare a meal, while Chunhong was still bargaining with the villagers outside.

Chen Xiao asked: "Isn't it hard to find money? How can Chunhong pay others?"

Sister Pu said while serving the dishes: "She and others will count the number first, and then they will come to me to get it."

Then he said: "My man and child have gone to the county seat. When they come back, they will have money."

"Oh."

Chen Xiao still didn't understand.Miss Pu couldn't find any money, so shouldn't she use her family's things to pay for it, why did she buy it from other villagers?

But it doesn't matter, it's their business.She asked Fang Yu:
"How much did you buy for me?"

Fang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why, you want to give me money?"

"Yes."

"You have money?"

Chen Xiao was silent for a while.There are gold, silver, and many things that can be exchanged for money in her dimension. She does have money.But "Lu Fu" doesn't seem to be doing well.So he said:

"I'll find a way to pay you back."

"What can you do?" Fang Yu asked with a smile.

"This one……"

Chen Xiao was thinking of making up some excuse when Chunhong walked into the room.

She was a little embarrassed and said:
"Brother Fang, do you have any money? Lend me three hundred Wen."

"What's wrong?" Fang Yu asked.

Chunhong murmured, "A villager brought a honeycomb and wanted to sell it to me for [-] Wen, but...we only have [-] Wen left..."

Then she said again: "The hive can be sold at least [-] yuan more if it is carried to the county seat."

She bought these things from the villagers and carried them to the county town to sell them.

This village is more than 50 miles away from the county seat, and it is not easy for the villagers to go to the county seat.If you don't have much goods, you might as well sell them to Chunhong here if you go to the county.

People from Chunhong's village often come to buy mountain goods, and she understands how this kind of "middleman" makes money.

She once wanted to be a "middleman", but she had no money.Doing this business requires at least several thousand pennies, but she has no penny in hand.Usually when she spins flax at home, her mother sells it, and her mother keeps the money from the sale.

Fang Yu said: "I don't have money, but I still have broken silver. It's just that I'm worried that you won't be able to carry it."

Chunhong's eyes lit up: "I can carry more than 100 catties."

Fang Yu said: "We won't help you carry it."

Chunhong waved her hands again and again: "No, no, I can do it by myself."

Fang Yu took out the broken silver and threw it to Chunhong.

"Thank you, Brother Fang!"

Watching Chunhong go out happily, Chen Xiao suddenly felt that she seemed to have underestimated Chunhong before.I thought she was just a little girl who escaped from marriage, but I didn't expect the little girl to be very smart.

But think about it too.A person who has the courage to run away from marriage and successfully escapes without starving to death in the mountains for several days and nights is not a foolish girl.

Chen Xiao lowered his head to eat, thinking about what to use to deduct the money for the clothes.

All she had with her now was a lighter and a jackknife.

Sparkling sticks are worthless, and pocket knives are worth too much.Neither of these things are appropriate.It seems that I have to go to the space to find a suitable one, or wait until the county seat to exchange some money that can be used in this world.

Fang Yu looked at Miss Chen who was buried in the cooking, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and suddenly he said:
"Follow me from now on! I will support you."

Chen Xiao looked up in surprise, and looked at him like a fool.

"How about I follow you, and I'll be your cow or horse." Fang Yu added.

Seeing his joking expression, Chen Xiao didn't respond, just lowered her head and continued to eat.

Chunhong and Sister Pu finished collecting the mountain goods outside and came in for dinner.The broken silver that Fang Yu gave later has not been weighed yet, but after buying the beehive, there will definitely be hundreds of cash left over. What mountain goods can be collected.

These things have nothing to do with Chen Xiao, she didn't listen to them deliberately.

Chunhong consulted Fang Yu's opinion, and Fang Yu said that it was up to her to make the decision.
