Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 602
Liu Ya said to give the "Tongxin Knot", the name is nice, and it looks good, and the people who came to buy umbrellas have nothing to complain about. A few girls were very happy, and begged Liu Ya to say, if you can give it the same heart knot Forget it as a pair.

Liu Ya laughed as soon as she heard it, and said: "That's fine, but you need to add five Wen."

Even if you add more money, those who buy umbrellas still buy umbrellas, and those who want sympathy knots still need sympathy knots.The remaining ten umbrellas were quickly sold.Even the two umbrellas hanging from the poles were taken down, and Liu Ya quickly tied silk flowers on them and sold them as well.

Now, the stall selling umbrellas is empty, that is, there is still a lot of colored silk left in the small bamboo basket with colored silk cloth heads at Liu Ya's feet.

In the end, there were still a few girls who didn't buy the umbrella, so they came to Liu Ya to buy the sympathetic knot.Five cents a piece, eight cents a pair, and seven pairs of concentric knots were sold in a short time.

Liu Ya only felt that her hands were sore, and her fingers began to stiffen. She quickly waved her hands and said, "Okay, okay, the stall is closed. I still have to buy concentric knots. Let's talk about it next time I come. Now it's really fingers. It hurts my head, and the concentric knots I made don’t look good.”

Liu Ya said here that the stall was closed, and there were a few who hadn't bought it before and suddenly panicked. Two girls ran over and stopped Liu Ya and said, "Little girl, we also want to pay double the price. Let's make a couple."

double?All right.Liu Ya felt that she was a bit of a money fanatic.But I still didn't forget to say: "Then these are the last two pairs of today, and there really can't be any more."

The two girls were afraid that Liu Ya would not do it, so they immediately took out sixteen cents and stuffed it into Liu Ya's arms.

Well, the money is all in hand, no matter how sore your hands are, you have to endure it.Liu Ya picked out the colors from the bamboo basket, twisted them into cloth ropes and tied two pairs of "concentric knots", and handed them to the two girls respectively.

Seeing that the umbrellas were sold out, the rest of the people couldn't make the same heart knot anymore, so they gradually fell apart.But there are still people who are sighing while walking, telling the beautiful "legend" to the people around them over and over again.

Liu Ya no longer cares what other people say about legends or stories, anyway, she has made a lot of money.

Liu Ya looked down at the small cloth pocket that was used to hold the money just now, it was already heavy and began to fall down.I didn't feel like I was busy collecting money just now, but now it seems that my neck is about to be broken.It is really inconvenient to have too many ancient copper plates.

However, fortunately, when she came out, she found a big cloth bag to carry on her back, the belt was reinforced by Liu Xu'er for her, so it was very strong, otherwise, the belt would probably have broken long ago.

Liu Ya took off the cloth pocket, weighed it, and made a "cracking" sound, then glanced at the stunned old man standing beside her, and called him, "Old man, let's settle the accounts. Hurry up and put your money away." Here you go, I have something else to do."

That old man is quite obedient, when Liu Ya was selling umbrellas, he was really helping without saying a word.However, when he was asked why one umbrella was missing, he was not very serious.

Now that the people dispersed, Liu Ya asked: "Old man, now you should tell me, where did the umbrella that was missing go? It won't grow legs and fly away."

When the old man heard Liu Ya's question, his face blushed again, and it seemed that the wrinkles on his face had deepened a lot.

However, the old man still said: "It didn't fly, I put it away." After speaking, he touched under his umbrella stand, and took out an umbrella from the inside.

Liu Ya saw that it was really the old man who put it away, and couldn't help but wondered: "Old man, this is your umbrella, if you don't want to sell it, just tell me, why are you putting it away without telling me?"

Hearing what Liu Ya said, the old man blushed even more, and he didn't speak, but just opened the umbrella to show Liu Ya.

Liu Ya saw that there was nothing special about the umbrella, except that there was an extra silk flower on the rib inside which she had knotted.Liu Ya was even more surprised and said: "Old man, I made this flower, what's the problem? If you have something to say, just say it, I'm anxious after guessing like this. Besides, I really have something to do."

The old man took a deep breath, as if he had taken some great courage, and said: "This is indeed the silk flower you made, little girl. I stayed quietly because I wanted... I wanted to take it back and give it to my family." My wife’s. I heard you say those things here, and listened to those people tell the story over and over again. I feel that my wife has been with me all my life. I really haven’t given her anything. Don’t say it’s a handkerchief. I am an umbrella maker. I have made umbrellas all my life, and I have never made an umbrella for my wife. Today you put a flower on this umbrella and call it a love umbrella. I was thinking about it. My wife is also affectionate, so I gave this umbrella to her. However, this umbrella can obviously sell for so much more money, so I put it away privately in case you are not happy."

After hearing the old man's words, Liu Ya was completely stunned.A different kind of feeling surged in my heart again, which was more touching than what the eldest sister said about her and her deceased husband.The life and death parting of that pair, who can no longer live together, is a kind of regretful and poignant love.

And the relationship between this old man and his wife is a love for each other, a long life, a deep love that misses each other but doesn't know how to express it, this is another rare true love in the world.

Liu Ya lowered her head and picked out two more colored silks from the bamboo basket, tied a pair of concentric knots and presented them to the old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, this pair of concentric knots is a little of my heart, I wish you a long life, and the whole family Happiness. Thank you also for lending me the stall today."

After speaking, Liu Ya began to count the copper coins.According to the previous agreement, as long as more than ten umbrellas are sold, each umbrella will be counted at twenty cents.Now I have sold 120 umbrellas, totaling 560 liters.However, not all the money collected this time was in copper coins, some people also gave broken silver coins.

Liu Ya said to the old man: "Old man, Pingshan Village is farther away from my home. I have to ride home in a while, and it's inconvenient to bring copper coins, so can I give you the copper coins you deserve? I will give you twenty copper coins, and it will be regarded as a payment of silver, okay."

Liu Ya knows that silver is actually easier to use than copper plates.If the fineness is good, two or three cents of silver can be exchanged for one more copper plate.These two thousand and 560 Wen coins would be more than two taels if converted into silver, so Liu Ya planned to give him an extra twenty copper coins.

What's more, what Liu Ya left behind was not all silver, a small half was broken silver, and more than half was copper plate, no matter how you say it, it's not a loss to him.

The old man heard this, and quickly said: "Okay, just give the copper coins. You don't need to give the twenty extra copper coins. You can sell all the umbrellas I have been making for a year. I have to thank you." Woolen cloth."
