After Nianfu went out, the girl who followed her had a little leisure time, and Liu'er started to write down things with a pen.

The memory of chanting blessings is not good, and I am afraid that I will forget things, so I specially prepared a small notebook, and tell her or Wu'er, the two well-versed little girls, about any big things and small things, and ask them to write them down to avoid delays.

Liu'er remembered that when she came back from Nianfu yesterday, she told her about an important matter, but she couldn't remember the shock last night.

"Wu'er, did my sister tell you anything yesterday?"

"No. Oh, that's right." Wu'er came over, lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I see that there are not many tissues in my sister's box, so I have to remind her to buy them. In a few days, her little The day has come."

Yes, this is an urgent matter.There is also brown sugar, I will check it later to see if it is enough.Liu'er hurriedly wrote down, originally wanted to wait for Nianfu to come back, and then ask her what she confessed yesterday, but was quickly called downstairs to help with work.

Even if the cave was closed last night and the wind stopped, the black shadow hadn't been caught yet, and people's hearts were a little unstable after all.And to prepare for the New Year's gift to be sent back to his hometown, the second survey of the cave has to be postponed for the time being.Therefore, the most urgent task is to do a good job of defense, and first repair the walls and trenches behind them to be stronger.

Of course, Liu'er would not be asked to do these menial tasks, but the stout servants were all sent to work, so she had to take care of the stove downstairs, boil water for everyone, do chores, and do logistics services.Once interrupted like this, when Liu'er got busy, she forgot all about asking her to read blessings and the five-day agreement that she had to record.

After arranging the trivial matters at home, Ouyang Kang went to Su Cheng's house to ask for leave.

I was surprised when I went out.I don't know when last night, the first snow of this winter fell.The snow is not heavy, most of it has melted, but there is still a thin layer of white in some places, and the wind has become particularly bitter.

Winter is finally here.

Well, I don't know how the business negotiation between my brother and me is going?

Last night, when Ouyang Kang came home, except for Ouyang Jin who told him about going back to his hometown with some New Year gifts.Ouyang Zhuang also mentioned it to him.

On the day he came to eat, he saw that Ouyang Kang's iron stove was very useful, so he recommended it to the Ministry of Industry. If the negotiation can be made, it will be a big fortune.When the time comes to tell Nianfu, how happy will she be?

Ouyang Kang thought.Can't help grinning.

Then what should I buy her?Is it a mink coat or a carriage?The only small carriage in the family has to be pulled out every day to do business, and it is not easy to ride a horse in such a cold day, so it is really inconvenient to go out.But she really doesn't have a good leather jacket, which is also very urgently needed...

Ouch!Before the money was in hand, Ouyang, who was planning how to spend it, accidentally stepped on an ice floe, staggered and almost fell.Fortunately, the servant next to him quickly helped him up.Young Master Ouyang didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he concentrated.Walk well.

West of the city.A relief shelter supervised by the Ministry of Industry has been basically completed.

Ouyang Zhuang stomped his icy cold feet twice, looked at a gap, and followed Master Tong, the boss with the goatee who dominated the only brazier.

"My lord, although this house has been repaired, but the brazier and charcoal should be prepared next?"

"Of course." Master Tong squinted at him, and his thin body blocked him in the direction of his approach, as if blaming him for dissipating the heat from the brazier.He said lukewarmly, "There are also rice porridge and quilts for disaster relief. They will all be prepared, just keep an eye on them."

Ouyang Zhuang retreated half a step wisely, took a breath into his palm, and said with a smile, "My brother has thought about a new stove, which is easy to burn and saves charcoal, and it is not easy to be poisoned by charcoal. If you are interested, my lord, Shall I take one for you to see?"

whispering sound!Master Tong snorted immediately, and said in an old-fashioned way, "Young man, don't think about those crooked ways to get rich before you have worked for three days. What to use, you have to arrange it yourself, where is it your turn to worry about it?"

Ouyang Zhuang blushed, "My lord, I didn't mean that! My brother is real..."

"Okay, okay." Master Tong pointed out the mountain beard in displeasure, "The houses here have been repaired, but the ones in the south of the city haven't been repaired yet. Hurry up and bring a few people over there to watch."

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Ouyang Zhuang left in a rage, thinking that if it was reported, wouldn't it be your credit?Such short-sightedness, he deserves to be a small eighth-rank master for the rest of his life!

At this time, Nianfu, who had already gone shopping in Beishi, was struggling to bargain with the boss, "I have already bought so many things, so let me sell this piece of leather at a lower price."

We are familiar with Beishi, so shopping here is also the first choice.

Although the winter at home does not come as early as in the capital, it is so cold that it will freeze to the bones.In this era, there are no light and warm down jackets. No matter how thick an ordinary cotton jacket is worn, it can’t block the cold. Nianfu thinks about the money he makes from selling crystal rolls these days, so he wants to buy a leather jacket for grandma, grandpa and mother. winter.

But she didn't expect that when it snowed, the prices of all kinds of fur goods would suddenly increase. She calculated for a long time, and had no choice but to buy three sheepskin coats from Hui Niang and the others.However, when I tried it on, the warmth retention was not bad, and Nianfu was very satisfied, and it was already wrapped up.But when she was about to leave, she accidentally saw a dark red fox scarf that was very beautiful and comfortable to wear, so she thought about buying one for Hui Niang.

It's not that she is partial, she knows that she is not at home, it must be her mother who has supported the whole house against the wind and rain, she often runs outside, and really needs a good scarf.

But the boss refused to bargain, "Don't look at this scarf as an old product, but look at how fine the stitches are? Sister Mu, you are also in business on this street. Everyone is a neighbor. I tricked you What? 12 taels of silver, really nothing less. If it weren’t for you, I would have asked for at least 20 taels. You think it’s too expensive right now, but it will have to go up in a few days.”

12 taels of silver, which was almost the total price of the three leather jackets. Nianfu wanted to buy it, but felt that it was a bit expensive, so he wanted to talk to the boss again, "Boss, I know you don't like me, but Look at this piece of leather, it is obviously damaged, so you can make it cheaper."

But when it snowed, the business was good and there were many customers. After talking for a long time, the boss got impatient and said, "If it could be less, I would have sold it a long time ago. Why wait until now? I'm not boasting about such a good idea, as long as If you take care of it carefully, you can use it for at least 50 years. If it weren’t for the bigger wound, this whole fox scarf would sell for at least 50 taels. If you think it’s not good, go get the one over there. Think about it again, sister, it’s the price anyway, there’s really nothing to lose. I’ll go greet the others first, and you can call me or the buddy after you decide.”

Having said so much, Nianfu is really helpless, holding that fox scarf is a dilemma.Of course, she can buy it if she insists.She has no money, but Ouyang Kang still has money.

However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many places to spend money at home. Although Su Cheng helped them build the house, but how many meals do you have to take care of?And they also have to buy special purchases for the New Year.By the end of the year, the Guozijian will officially start school.Among other things, Ouyang Kang should at least wear two big woolen clothes, right?

Nianfu has just seen the price, it is really expensive.Regardless of the fact that Ouyang Mulan left them 1000 taels, if he really went all out to buy them, he would be able to spend a whole lot of money on two pieces of clothing.

Caressing the warm dark red fur again, Nianfu was determined to put it back on the shelf, but thinking of Hui Niang, he was really reluctant to part with it.

She was in a difficult situation, and suddenly, someone greeted her.

"Sister Mu?"

"Miss Lu?"

Nianfu turned his head and saw Lu Ying still carrying a basket to buy ingredients.Although her coat was simple and low-key, but the collar and cuffs showed a circle of fringe. Nianfu was popularized by the staff when he was looking at leather goods just now, and he recognized them as high-quality leather goods.

Seeing that she was holding a fox scarf in her hand, Lu Ying smiled generously, "What a coincidence, you also come shopping?"

"Yes." Pulling the cuffs of his cotton coat, for some reason, Nianfu suddenly felt a little cramped.

Just in time, the clerk came and wrapped up the fur coats she had bought, and delivered them, "Three sheepskin coats, sister, take a look. If you're right, these three are 15 taels."

After chanting blessings and thanking them, Lu Ying asked casually, "You bought these for your servants to wear? But there are so many servants in your family, even three pieces are not enough."

The smile on Nianfu's face froze immediately, and at this time another clerk handed over the leather goods Lu Ying wanted, "Miss, yours, a high-quality silver-gray fox scarf, 60 taels."

"Oh, thank you." Lu Ying readily paid the silver ticket, as if she was buying an ordinary cabbage.Seeing that Nianfu remained silent, he explained to himself, "My mother is most afraid of the cold. Last year I bought her a sable. She thought it was too thick. She got burned and didn't like it very much. I bought her a pair today. Thinner. Look, isn't it pretty?"

"Pretty...beautiful." The smile on Nianfu's face was almost unstoppable, and he looked at the fox scarf that Lu Ying brought in front of him with complicated eyes.

After all, Lu Ying is an intelligent woman. Looking at the scarf she was hiding behind, she suddenly realized something. She felt a little embarrassed, but it was hard to tell, so she had to change the subject, "By the way, the tofu you made last time The flowers are pretty good, and Mrs. Pingguo specially gave something as a reward, which is probably worth 20 taels of silver. Should I give it to you now, or send it to you later?"

"No...Okay." Nianfu suddenly smiled again, and said truthfully as if he didn't care at all, "To tell you the truth, I'm preparing an annual gift to send home now, if you want to send it, hurry up. In the end It was given by a noble family, and I will also send it back to the countryside to show to my family."

Seeing her being so generous, Lu Ying also felt relieved, but she was too embarrassed to stay any longer, "Then I'll go first, let's get together when I have time next year."

She took her fox scarf and left, and the guy who greeted Nianfu kindly stepped forward and asked, "Girl, do you want this scarf? There is a guest over there who wants to see it too."

"Then tell him, I'll buy this one." After paying the money readily, Nianfu went out with the things, his face relaxed, holding the dark red fox scarf, a little want to cry. (To be continued.
