Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 600 Selling Umbrellas
After the old man tied the colored silk on the pole, he turned around and saw that Liu Ya had already decorated several umbrellas.As long as the umbrella is opened, there will be a small silk flower on the rib, which looks very delicate.And when the umbrella was closed, a piece of silk wrapped around the umbrella handle also hung down, which looked like an extra tassel, which was much more eye-catching than the plain, dull oil-paper umbrella just now.

"Little girl, this umbrella is really much prettier with you dressed up like this." The old man also praised repeatedly.

Liu Ya smiled and said, "Since it looks good, it's easy to sell. But old man, you have to remember that when I'm selling umbrellas, you can't even say a word."

"Hey, okay, I'll remember." The old man is very honest, but he doesn't usually talk much.According to Liu Ya's intention, she went to tie a few pieces of colored silk to the stall, making it colorful and eye-catching.

Originally, there were not many pedestrians on the street in this gloomy weather, but the sudden appearance of such a stall in red and green was more conspicuous.So there are some people who are very trustworthy. They walked here and saw that they were selling umbrellas, and there was a little girl who was busy tying colored silk to the umbrella ribs there, so they smiled and asked, "Little girl, are you selling umbrellas?" Ah, still selling flowers?"

Liu Ya looked up and saw a young man who came to inquire, and said with a smile: "Of course it's selling flowers. However, on rainy days, decorate flowers in umbrellas and look at them as you walk, won't you feel better?"

After finishing speaking, she opened the oil-paper umbrella that had just been knotted with silk flowers in her hand, leaned the handle of the umbrella on her shoulder, got up and took two steps, then turned around again, and said to the man: "Did you see, big brother, umbrella?" When the umbrella is opened, the silk flower inside the umbrella is on the side of the head, walking with such an umbrella, does it seem to be wearing a beautiful flower?"

Not to mention, Liu Ya looks exquisite and handsome, although the umbrella is not very attractive, but the lavender silk flower is on the side of the umbrella bone, just like it is inserted in Liu Ya's hair.When she walked, she had a graceful figure and a light gait, and the silk cloth on the handle of the umbrella swayed gently, which was really beautiful.

But the man looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm a seven-foot-tall man, so I can't carry such an umbrella on the street, can I? People won't laugh at me after seeing it?"

When Liu Ya heard this, she closed her umbrella and said, "Brother, I am selling flowers, of course not for you. However, you can buy this umbrella and give it to your daughter-in-law. If you don't have a daughter-in-law, send it You can give it to your sweetheart."

"Ah? I've never heard of giving an umbrella to a daughter-in-law." The man shook his head repeatedly and said, "Umbrella and San have the same pronunciation. How can there be such a way to give it. Little girl, if you don't understand it, don't say it."

"Brother, you are wrong. There are too many words with the same sound, but not all of them can be explained in this way. Look at this umbrella, one umbrella handle supports so many ribs, and it supports the whole umbrella. Doesn’t it mean that your daughter-in-law can support you in a family? This is a good sign, and it proves that your family cannot live without your daughter-in-law, and you must have her to support you. Don’t everyone say that a good wife in a family is like a treasure Well."

After Liu Ya finished speaking, the man scratched his head, looked at the umbrella again, and said, "It seems to be true.

Liu Ya immediately said: "Brother, think about it, how difficult is it for your wife to give birth to you and help you support the family? You bought an umbrella to tell her that you have her in your heart and miss her so that you Remember to bring an umbrella when she goes out, don't get caught in the rain, how considerate. Besides, if you buy an umbrella now, I will give you a handkerchief."

As she said that, Liu Ya took out an embroidered handkerchief from the bamboo basket, shook it out for the man to see, and said, "Look, brother, this handkerchief is embroidered with flowers, how delicate is it? Think about it." , when you and your sister-in-law made love, did you give a handkerchief?"

"No, I haven't." The man shook his head, smiled naively, and said, "On the day we got married, I lifted the red hijab to see what she looks like. There is no handkerchief for love. "

Liu Ya hurriedly said: "That's just right, hurry up and give it away now. You don't need to buy it, and you don't need my sister-in-law to sew it for you. I bought an umbrella here, and this handkerchief will be given to you. You go back and give it to your sister-in-law. , the family is so harmonious and beautiful."

Hearing Liu Ya's clever words, the man thought for a while, then looked at the embroidered handkerchief, and said, "Then how do you sell this umbrella?"

Liu Ya said: "Forty Wen, and I will give you a handkerchief. It is embroidered, and the color of this handkerchief matches the silk flowers on this umbrella very well."

"What? It's so expensive? An oil-paper umbrella costs more than 25 yuan. If it's cheap, you can buy it for [-] yuan." When the man heard it, he felt that it was really expensive.

Liu Ya shook her head and said: "It's cheap, you can't buy the silk flowers made by my handicraft, and you can't buy the handkerchief embroidered by my sister. It's not the same as ordinary oil-paper umbrellas at all."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya closed the umbrella, bowed her head and tied the silk flower again, and said: "It's okay, brother, if you don't want to buy it, you can have a look. I'm not a force to buy or sell. But, I just think it's okay not to give one away." Give the beautiful umbrella to my sister-in-law, and she is in a panic when I mention it. Think about it, she has lived with you for so many years, I guess you haven’t even bought a decent handkerchief for her? Now that you have this opportunity, handkerchiefs and umbrellas are both It’s ready for you, but you think it’s too expensive.”

What Liu Ya said seemed to be unintentional, but the man lowered his head.

At this moment, a woman next to her stood up, took an umbrella from Liu Ya's side, looked at it and asked, "Little girl, how much is this umbrella for you?"

"It's the same, they are all forty Wen. The umbrellas are all the same, but the colors and shapes of the silk flowers are different. Sister, you can choose which color you like." After finishing speaking, Liu Ya put it in the basket again. She picked out a plain handkerchief from the pocket and said: "The umbrella in my sister's hand, the silk flowers on it are too gorgeous, I gave you a plain handkerchief to match it. It would look tacky if they were all gorgeous."

The woman looked at the handkerchief in Liu Ya's hand, then at the umbrella in her own hand, and said with a wry smile, "Okay, forty coins, I'll buy it. My dead ghost passed away the first year. I'm pretty good, but I haven't bought anything for me. Now I take care of my parents-in-law and my parents-in-law. I'm supporting the whole family. You're right, this An umbrella is not just an umbrella, it can support a home."

After finishing speaking, the woman took out [-] Wen, handed it to Liu Ya and said, "Here, [-] Wen. It's like buying a thought for myself, so that I won't be able to hold on."

After receiving forty essays, Liu Ya felt a little sore in her heart.Seeing the woman leaving with the umbrella, Liu Ya suddenly stopped her and said, "Sister, please wait."
