Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 28
When she felt that the time was only one-third of half a cup of tea, she quickly jumped down from the tree, carried the bag and hurried to the sea of ​​flowers, and began to pick flowers.

The elegant style is prevalent in Tokyo, not only high-ranking officials and aristocrats are popular in flower arrangement, but even small households, if they have the conditions, they will buy a few fresh flowers and put them in a vase in the bedroom for decoration.

Especially in this season, the flowers outside are withered, and the only ones that are still in full bloom are the plum blossoms. If these jasmines are in the early summer when the flowers are in full bloom, they are not very eye-catching, but right now they are a rare commodity.

Wen Shumo, who is well versed in business, read the time, and her hands moved faster and faster. She was used to the work, and then a pair of bare hands fluttered among the flowers, and countless delicate flowers and branches were picked off.

After all this work, she was already sweating in thick clothes, but she didn't care about loosening her clothes because of the time constraints, and continued to pick flowers like rain.

[Beep—the retention time has expired—the transmission channel is open——]

At the same time as the words sounded in her mind, the air in front of Wen Shu suddenly rippled. She hurriedly grasped the pocket in her hand, and before she could retract her other hand on the tip of the leaf, she felt a huge suction coming from ahead.

The next moment the world spun.
"Bang, bang, bang." There was the sound of a watch from the street outside, and three gongs sounded, which meant that the third watch had arrived.

The sound of waking up on the front street could be heard faintly in the silent night, and Wen Tai was anxiously pacing back and forth in the room with the box in his arms.
Why don't you come out, nothing will happen to you!

If he knew he shouldn't have followed her, the more Wen Tai thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Just when he was anxious and unable to restrain himself, the top cover of the iron box in his hand suddenly opened by itself, a dazzling white light flashed, and Wen Shu appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

"A-Ning!" Wen Tai shouted excitedly, looked her up and down, and saw that there was no wound on her body, so he was relieved: "Nothing happened this time!"

Wen Shu smiled and shook his head: "No, and I got a lot of good things." Then, he opened the sack like offering a treasure, revealing the flowers inside.

"This is Jasmine!" Wen Tai was shocked.

Wen Shu nodded triumphantly, and then peeled away the jasmine, revealing the bright red and fragrant peaches underneath.

Wen Tai was even more startled, and murmured, "How can there be jasmine and peaches in this season?"

"Father, you don't know, that end is not in the same season as us. I'm almost too hot to die in that place with all these clothes on. Now my underwear is drenched in sweat."

Wen Tai was shocked when he heard the words: "Then hurry up and change it, don't freeze it anymore."

Wen Shu nodded, hurried back to her room, and changed her underwear.

When he came out again, he described everything he saw in another world in detail, but the matter of Xiaoxing was subtly hidden in the words.

It's not that she wants to hide something on purpose, but what the hell is Xiaoxing?Where are you hiding again?Why can't she see it, but hear it speak?

Before she understood these questions, she felt a little panic in her heart, so she didn't want to scare her father anymore.

After hearing her strange experience, Wen Tai didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

This time I was really lucky and didn't encounter any danger, but next time, who can guarantee that I will have this kind of good luck, if it is the same as last time, if I encounter a monster, it is not a narrow escape.

Since he couldn't go with him, his heart was always in suspense. In the short quarter of an hour just now, he had already lived like a year.
After thinking for a while, Wen Tai said solemnly: "Don't go to that place again, this time you will be lucky, but it is still dangerous after all." Then, he picked up the box on the ground worriedly and said: "This, I Come and keep it."

"Don't, dad!" Wen Shu hastily stopped his hand from holding the box: "I'm still counting on it to make money. Look at this peach, it's so juicy. If you sell it outside, it will definitely fetch a good price."

Wen Tai shook his head: "As long as you have enough money, your father doesn't care about this kind of terrible money, and you are not allowed to be rare. Although our family is not rich, it is not so poor that you will work hard to make money. If you still want your father to live longer After two years, I will stop thinking about it." After saying that, he grabbed the box and locked it in the bedside cabinet.

Wen Shu was anxious to see it, and his heart broke, so he told about the debt.

"... That Mr. Lu a few days ago is actually very likely to come to collect debts." After saying this, she lowered her head and dared not look at Wen Tai.

"So, the thing you said that you helped him is false, and it was all made up to deceive me."

"No, that's true too. I did help him."

Wen Tai froze on the spot for a long time, then said half aloud: "That doesn't make you fight with your life, father will find a way to owe the fifty pennies."

"Do you think of a way to borrow it?" Wen Shu was a little frustrated, "We have a good relationship with our family, Uncle Sun and Uncle Hu, the family situation is not as good as ours, even if they are willing to borrow, it will be one or two times at most The matter, these fifty strings."

She wanted to say that she couldn't raise it no matter what.

"That doesn't allow you to take risks. It's a big deal. The shop will not be repaired. Dad will go to the countryside to pick up some jobs. Although the wages are less, it is still an income." Then, he kicked the sack under his feet and said: "You are here today. I'm lucky this time, I got these things, peaches are precious this season, let's find a few restaurants to sell them, and we can get a lot of money, and there will always be a way for the rest."

He had already talked about this, what else could Wen Shu say, and he could only nod his head wearily.

The next day, the weather was fine, and the snow on the roof and road gradually melted under the sunshine.

At noon, Wen Shu deliberately dressed up and put on a turban to make sure that there was nothing bright about her face, and then she took a bamboo basket with jasmine flowers on her shoulders and stopped a bullock cart on the street.

"Where is the little lady going?"

"Xingcang Square in the south of the city."

"Hey, the journey is a bit long. If the lady goes alone, the journey will cost forty cents."

Wen Shu thought of the flowers in the basket, and nodded painfully.

Xing Cang Fang in the south of the city is a well-known gathering place for the rich, and the people living in it are either rich or noble. I heard that there are court officials, all of whom are of the third rank.

She wants to sell this jasmine at a high price, so she can only go there.

The south of the city and the north of the city are in opposite directions, and it took two quarters of an hour to get there even if we hired a bullock cart.

Wen Shu paid the fare, entered the gate of Fangshi, chose a back alley where no one was hawking, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Selling flowers, selling flowers, fragrant jasmine."

Inside the vermilion lacquered wooden door of a family on the right, Zhou Manyin, the youngest daughter of the Yin family of the Zhou family, was being punished by her parents to sit in her room thinking about her mistakes because she made a mistake.

I can't go out now, Miss Zhou thought about doing something to pass the time, when the maid at the side saw this, she suggested: "Miss, why don't you practice flower arranging."

Miss Zhou's face instantly fell when she heard this, and she said angrily, "Even you think the flowers I put in are not good-looking!"

"How could it be?" The maid hurriedly smoothed things over: "Young girl just learned, it's normal not to be as good as the third and fourth girls. They have been learning for almost a year. Naturally, they have learned something about color matching and pruning, but the girl is no better than the third girl." They are poor, as long as they practice more, they will definitely be recognized by Wang Momo."

Miss Zhou thought of the stern Wang Momo, and thought of the pride of the two concubine sisters when they were praised. After thinking about it, she said harshly: "You are right, I don't believe that I am really worse than them, go, let People go outside to buy some flowers, such as plum blossoms, wood springs, orchids and narcissus, I have done nothing for the past three days and just practiced flower arrangement, I still don’t believe it.”

Seeing that it was effective, the maid responded with a smile on her face, then lifted the curtain and told the maid on duty outside.
