Chapter 85 Delivery
Ding Fuguang frowned and said, "Why not? This girl is very good. I think Feng'er is totally ahead of her in being matched with Feng'er!"

The second son has an acceptable appearance, but his temper is too soft and soft. As a man, this is really despising.

On the other hand, Pomegranate is elegant, calm, articulate, and looks upright and comely. Except for her birth status, there is nothing that her son can compare with.

Ding Fuguang really felt that way, but he didn't know the heart of a mother-in-law.

As a mother, who doesn’t think that her child is the best?

But when her husband said that this girl was still ahead of her, Wang became unhappy immediately.

Girls from farmers’ families, are they so successful?

What if she doesn't know what girls from peasant families are like?
Just think back to what she was like when she was a girl.

At that time, she was famous for her good looks, hardworking and virtuous people from all over the country.

But she thought that even though she was like this, she was not worthy of her son.

Even though her son was the worst at studying in school, he could at least read and write. His father was the shopkeeper of the famous Datong Warehouse in Luoshui City. He ran a shop at home and collected rent from the fields outside the city. He took turns doing whatever he wanted. Why not marry a girl from a peasant family?
Although her husband acted like he was right and had his own plans, Wang couldn't utter a single word in his full rebuttal.

She has always respected and admired her husband, and felt that it was very impressive that her husband could grow from a small apprentice to his current family fortune. As for her husband's vision and intelligence, she could not match him.

Therefore, she swallowed those words and just thought that she wanted to see what kind of girl she was that could win such praise from her husband.

-

Little did Pomegranate know that shopkeeper Ding, whom she had met several times, had decided to hire her as his daughter-in-law, so he would soon break into her life.

She was busy now. In front of the Laba Festival she had agreed with Mr. Bai, she arrived right before her eyes. Thirty wooden boxes were carved out one after another, then painted and dried.

One by one, they were carefully packed with pomegranates and fructose, and neatly stacked in a backpack covered with a layer of grass and a layer of cloth.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Pomegranate and Li Rongzong, who were in good spirits in their new clothes, left together with thirty wooden gift boxes for Mr. Bai and twenty wooden gift boxes for Shopkeeper Huang. From home, go to Luoshui City.

Also going with him was Lord Li Jizhong.

Li Jihe was busy carving and couldn't get away, and he was worried about Shiliu and his brother and sister coming to the city. After Jiang knew about it, he strongly recommended his men. Anyway, the Jinhuo Banquet was already finished and there was nothing to do at home. It's nice to let him run errands with you.

But Li Jihe thought that the fourth child was unconventional and was even more worried about having him accompany him, so he said that the wooden box was important and it was better to go back quickly, so he simply took a car.

No, Li Jizhong was going to the city to buy new year's goods. He took the vegetables he grew at home to his younger brother Li Jili in the city and dropped by.

Sitting in the bullock cart, the shaking and bumping made my butt hurt, but at least it was better than walking with useless legs. Pomegranate sat on the edge of the cart, with two legs hanging down, admiring the slow scenery along the way, which was also unique. an experience.

She thought that if she earned two more sums of money, her family would buy a car for transportation. She often went out and had no means of transportation. It would be troublesome and troublesome to rely on just one pair of legs. She said that she would go there in the future. Deliveries in the city come and go, and walking takes a lot of time.

It would be better to buy a car as soon as possible. I don’t know how much an ox-cart costs.

Thinking like this, Shiliu Shao had no choice but to set up a dragon gate formation with the lobby uncle. Li Jizhong had only bought the bullock cart a year ago, and the cart was made by Li Jihe, which cost almost fifteen tons of money in total.

Pomegranate was stunned when she heard this, thinking that the cow was quite expensive, otherwise why would it be so rare?

The uncle in the lobby has a lot of land, so he bought a cow to cultivate the land. Their family only has three acres of land. It doesn't matter if they want the cow to plow the land or not. She thought, she might as well buy a mule then!
Mules have faster legs than oxen, are better for pulling carts, and are much cheaper.

They talked leisurely all the way and without noticing, they arrived at the gate of the city.

Pomegranate estimated the time. It took less than two hours to come here without any breaks. Compared with walking, it saved three quarters of an hour. The round trip only took six quarters of an hour. If we used a mule cart, we could save even more. !
She couldn't help but nodded secretly, and her desire to buy a car became stronger.

Li Jizhong was not very familiar with the city. He only knew the way to Jixiang Inn and the small courtyard rented by Li Jili. Where Gongyang Lane was, he couldn't figure out the direction.

However, it was not convenient for bullock carts to drive in the city's markets, so the three of them went straight to the small courtyard of Li Jili's house in the west of the city after entering the city.

Li Jizhong unloaded the cabbage and radish he had brought, and the three of them were warmly greeted by Tian Guiying, who probably kept them and ate a bowl of sugar-watered eggs before leaving with the wooden box on their backs.

After leaving the alley and taking to the street, Shiliu asked someone to find out where Gongyang Lane was. After learning how to get there, the three of them went straight to Gongyang Lane.

After arriving at Gongyang Lane and finding Hairpin Hutong, Shiliu saw the door plaque of Bai Zhai at a glance.

But she "can't read", so of course she couldn't speak out. In the end, she had to ask a lot of questions before she came to the door. This process made Shiliu feel tired. She thought to herself, celebrate the New Year quickly and finish the New Year. She wanted to send Brother Zhang to study as soon as possible.

Along the way here, Pomegranate has been carefully scrutinized. The whole Gongyang Lane exudes a scholarly atmosphere, and the people who want to live there are all scholarly families.

Sure enough, when there was a knock on the door, the concierge who opened the door spoke in a formal tone, "May I ask why you are here?"

Li Jizhong and Li Rongzong didn't understand. They couldn't help but look at each other. Shiliu spoke first, "Excuse me, is this the White House? In the middle of winter, the master of your house ordered a wooden gift box from our family on the street. We are here today." The wooden box has arrived as promised! Please also ask this big brother to come in and inform you."

As soon as the porter heard Shiliu's words, he thought that he had to give the explanation a long time ago. He quickly let the three people in and waited at the door while the other porter went inside to report the matter.

After a while, the concierge came back, and there was another person with him.

Pomegranate recognized this person at a glance as the young man who followed the master last time.

The young man asked: "Have the wooden boxes been made?"

"It's all done! Take a look!" Pomegranate responded hurriedly, then opened the cloth cover on the basket that Li Rongzong had put down, and took out the thirty wooden boxes one by one for the convenience of the other party. Can check better.

The young man looked at the thirty wooden boxes, which were round, square, and rhombus-shaped. The carvings were exquisite and lifelike, and the fructose inside was indeed the same as last time. He couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Immediately he nodded and said: "How much silver is the total?"

Shiliu hurriedly said: "This gift box costs six hundred and sixty cents a piece, sixty-six dashes, and thirty wooden boxes. The total is nineteen taels. Last time, your master already gave me one or two cents, and I still need to pay more." Eighteen taels and eight cents."

The young man said: "Follow me to the accounting room to get some money."
