Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 58 Matchmaker Wang brings Qin Huairu to the door
After hearing Yan Bugui's words, Li Xiuzhu said: "Since Brother Yan has already talked about two types, let's talk about the last one."

Li Xiuzhu remembered that small-leaf red sandalwood was not as valuable as Nanhai huanghuali.

But Yan Bugui has already talked about two types. If I don’t understand the last one, I always feel that something is missing.

As for Siamese Rosewood.

Well, he has never heard of it, so it should be even less valuable.

However, he also admired Yan Bugui's knowledge, otherwise he might not be able to buy good things even if they were all the same kind of wood.

Yan Bugui smiled proudly upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, isn't this what I'm about to say?"

"The last of these three tribute trees is small-leaf rosewood. The full name of this small-leaf rosewood is Indian small-leaf rosewood."

"There is a saying in the book: Rosewood comes from Funan and is purple in color, so it is also called red sandalwood."

“Compared to Nanhai Huanghuali, small-leaf red sandalwood is the royal family’s first choice.”

"Since the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, furniture and handicrafts made of small-leaf red sandalwood can only be used by the royal family if they have a gold star. The princes and nobles have to watch and reward them before using them."

"This kind of wood grows slowly. It will take hundreds of years to become a useful material. It is extremely rare to find large quantities of mature materials."

“And the small-leaf rosewood wood is hard and dense, suitable for carving various exquisite patterns.”

"The carved texture is slender and floating, with endless changes. In addition, its deep tone makes it appear stable, elegant and beautiful, so it is regarded as the best among woods. It is said that every inch of red sandalwood is an inch of gold."

"Of course, for this red sandalwood to be one inch red sandalwood and one inch gold, it must be Venus wood, and it must be small leaf red sandalwood full of gold stars."

"That is to say, now that the feudal dynasty has been overthrown, we can now buy Venus rosewood. You can't even think about it a few decades ago."

"How's it going? Brother, I've said so much. Can you tell me what kind of wood you want?"

In Li Xiuzhu's impression, small-leaf red sandalwood was not as good as Nanhai huanghuali, but when Yan Bugui said this, he realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

The small-leaf red sandalwood full of gold stars may be even rarer.

"How about I buy some small-leaf red sandalwood full of gold stars and South China Sea huanghuali?"

"Um? Did you use this much?"

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "I won't tell you whether this is necessary, but I'm curious about what you said."

"In this way, you go and take a look first, there may not be anything there."

"Just buy whatever you have from these two."

"If you can find me a piece of wood that's not full of Venus leaf rosewood, how about I give you another dollar?"

Yan Bugui was stunned. He didn't expect Li Xiuzhu to be so generous and give so much, and he immediately smiled.

"Okay, let's walk then?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled.

"Go what?"

Now it was Yan Bugui's turn to be stunned.

"Um, aren't you going with me?"

Li Xiuzhu said matter-of-factly: "Of course, why should I do it if I don't know how to do it?"

"You just go and see it. If you like it, I'll buy it."

"No, you want me to run alone? Then you can lend me your bicycle for a while?"

Li Xiuzhu shrugged.

"My little wife has taken the bicycle away, so I can only trouble Brother Yan to walk."

Yan Bugui was a little unhappy when he heard this.

"It's only seven or eight kilometers away from Liulichang. I can't make much money here."

Go to Liulichang, it seems the profit margin is not enough.

"In this case, I will reimburse you [-] cents for the fare alone?"

A rickshaw costs [-] cents for one kilometer, [-] cents for seven kilometers to Liulichang, and [-] cents for a round trip.

The fare is not high, but it saves you pedaling, which Yan Bugui is obviously happy with. "Okay, then it's settled. I'll show you the wood first. If it's good, I'll sue you when I come back in the evening."

"Get on your bike tomorrow and let's go see it together."

Li Xiuzhu agreed. Although he had nothing to do this afternoon, it was not a big problem.

"Sure, then go ahead, Brother Yan."

Yan Bugui didn't move when he heard the words.

"Xiuzhu, let's not talk about the wages for now, but you have to pay me the fare first."

Um, good guy, Yan Laoxi is Yan Laoxi after all. He won't lose money if he plays the main one.

Li Xiuzhu didn't even write any ink, so he directly took out a dollar and gave it to Yan Bugui.

"Fifty cents for the car, fifty cents for the deposit, and I'll give you the rest when I see the item."

"If you don't have the oil-checked huanghuali and the small-leaf rosewood with gold stars, I won't be able to give you much."

"Of course, if you have me, I will add fifty cents to you. If there are other good woods of the same grade, I will give you another piece. But forget about Siamese rosewood, it is not my type. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Yanbu Gui heard this and asked quickly: "What if there are no Youge Huanghuali and Venus Small Leaf Rosewood, but only others?"

Li Xiuzhu thought for a while and said: "You have found the same level. If it is higher than this, I will give you an extra fifty cents. What do you think?"

Yan Bugui was pretty smart, so he knew the prices were equal when he heard this, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, wait for my message."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Li Xiuzhu also went back to the house to rest.

I was so bored that the sun just happened to shine in the east room in the afternoon, which was a good time to go to bed.

While Li Xiuzhu was resting, Wang Guifang, whom Chen Xueru had longed for, appeared on Qianmen Street with two women.

Wang Guifang's eyes lit up when she saw the words Xueru Silk Shop.

She is a matchmaker and needs to read horoscopes and marriage certificates. Naturally, she is also literate. She knows that this is Chen Xueru's silk shop.

The two women who came with them were stunned. Why did the matchmaker bring them here?
The two of them are also literate, without much knowledge. They are only at the third grade level of junior high school, and can barely recognize hundreds or even thousands of characters.

buying clothes?But they have no money.

"Aunt Wang, why did you bring us here?"

Wang Guifang smiled and said: "I found this for Huairu..."

She didn't say the word "in-law's family", but she understood it. Li Xiuzhu's parents were gone, so this didn't count as her in-law's family, right?

And this is not the property of Qin Huairu and her future man, but the property of Chen Xueru, the eldest wife.

After a pause, Wang Guifang thought of some words to make up for.

"This is Huairu's eldest sister's house. She asked us to come and meet her first."

"Come on, let's go in together."

As he said this, Wang Guifang pulled the two girls in. They were all dressed in shabby patches, even though they were the best clothes.

As soon as they entered, the three of them were shocked by the dazzling array of silks and satins.

What kind of family? How much money would you get for so much silk?

That's woolen cloth. I heard it's the favorite clothing material of the Soviet Union and beautiful Chinese people.

At this time, Chen Xueru also saw Matchmaker Wang, and her eyes lit up as she walked over.

"Hey, Aunt Wang, you are here."

The two rural girls were facing stares and discussions from all directions. Before they could feel inferior, they heard Chen Xueru continue: "Let's go upstairs and sit down."

Matchmaker Wang had a smile on her face and thought to herself, if the girl I brought looks good, let's call her Aunt Wang.

When I was talking to you before, I was remembering you and remembering me. I was so scared that I didn’t have a good meal for three days.

But this is the God of Wealth, so she has to endure and pay for whatever dissatisfaction she has.
