Chapter 92, Yuan Shi is finally relieved

Shu Xin felt that it made sense, and he wanted to buy a small mountain more and more. If he wanted to buy a mountain, he needed money.

I earned 500 taels from doing embroidery work, gave it to Liu’s 100 taels, left 400 taels, and got 300 taels from the vegetable seller. These days, I spent almost 100 taels on shopping and house repairs, and I lent 50 taels to Huzi. Now there are only 550 taels left. If you buy grain, you can buy a lot, but if you buy a small mountain, you may have to go a few hundred taels.

After thinking about it, Shu Xin decided to go to Dai Zhenzhu's house and ask if there was anyone who wanted to embroider.

She plans to embroider another pair, and with the first one, the second one should be taller.

There are thread and brocade at home, as long as there are patterns.

I wanted to talk to Huzi about buying the hill, but thinking that there were other people in the carriage, Shu Xin held back.

When they reached the gate of the town, the villagers got out of the carriage, said a few words of thanks to Shu Xin, and went shopping.

"Ah Xin, shall we go shopping too?"

"Go to Sister Pearl's house first, I have something to discuss with my godfather!"

Huzi was eager to go to Dai Zhenzhu's house, so he eagerly responded, "Okay!" and drove the carriage towards Dai Zhenzhu's house.

When I arrived at Dai Zhenzhu's house, I learned that Dai Zhenzhu and Mrs. Dai had gone to the capital.

It turned out that Mrs. Dai's aunt had passed away, and all the married daughters had to go back. As for why shopkeeper Dai's family came to Conghe Town, shopkeeper Dai didn't say anything, and Shu Xin didn't ask.

"Godfather, I'm planning to embroider another piece of embroidery. You can contact me, or as we said before, you get [-]% commission!"

Shopkeeper Dai laughed out loud, "I used to be the shopkeeper, and profit was the most important thing in everything. Now that I'm your godfather, I can't focus on profit. Several people have said that they want embroidery, but I see you I don’t really want to embroider, so I gave it up. Don’t you still have embroidery thread and satin cloth at home, why don’t you help me embroider one for my godfather, and I will use it as a treasure of the store, so my godfather will not wrong you, so I will give it to you How about 1000 taels of silver!"

"Godfather just give me 500 taels!"

"No, no, the price you agreed on last time was a good price for your embroidery. It was difficult for me to raise the price later, but people also said that the embroidery is excellent. The embroidery skill is worth 3000 taels. I will give you 1000 taels, or If you take advantage of you, don't refuse, I'll get you a scroll of money!"

"it is good!"

As soon as shopkeeper Dai left, Huzi pulled Shu Xin and said in surprise, "3000 taels, Ah Xin, I heard right!"

Shu Xin smiled and shook his head.

Huzi sat alone on the stool and didn't recover for a long time.

Shopkeeper Dai came out after a while, holding a large bag of silver in his hand, "Godfather, you are..."

"Nowadays the world is in chaos, and the banknotes may not be exchanged at any time. It's better to dig a hole and bury them. You can still use them after a year or so. I'm afraid it will be difficult for banknotes!" Dai shopkeeper As he spoke, he continued, "If you have bank notes at home, I'll exchange them for you earlier. By the way, can you still buy land and repair houses at your home?"

"It's possible. Recently, a family came to build a new house. I'll go back and ask the village chief for my godfather!"

"it is good!"

Shu Xin bought some fabrics and threads and put them in the carriage. Shopkeeper Dai said he wanted to give them away, but Shu Xin refused, and finally sold them to Shu Xin at the purchase price. He looked at the stack of fabrics and a small box in the carriage.

Inside is 1000 taels of silver, 1000 taels.

The amount he never dared to dream of was just the money for a piece of embroidery.

"Ah Xin, I'm nervous!" Hu Zi whispered.

The palms of the hands holding the horse's reins were sweaty.

"Why are you nervous? What was it like driving a carriage in the past? What is it like now? Let's go buy pork!"

"Aren't you nervous?"

"Don't be nervous, why should I be nervous!" Shu Xin raised his eyebrows.

1000 taels is indeed too much compared to when she first traveled through time, but step by step, she has already adapted to it.

When he arrived at the pork place, Shu Xin ordered half of the pork, a pig's head, a pig's belly, a pig's small intestine, and a pig's liver.

Also bought a few big bones, whole.

I'm going to take it back and cook it for reunion and peace of mind.

The man at the pork shop next door couldn't help asking, "Little girl, I still have a few big bones here, do you want to buy them?"

"If you make it cheaper, I'll buy it!" Shu Xin said.

I bought a big bone, and went to buy a half box of radishes. Although I have radishes at home, they are still small. Shu Xin plans to pull them out and eat them after the Chinese New Year, so that they can be raised in the field.

Went to the grain store again.

There is food, but it is ridiculously expensive.

Shu Xin finally bought fifty catties of salt, and the shopkeeper saw that Shu Xin had bought so much, so he persuaded Shu Xin to buy grain.

Shu Xin declined with a smile.

"Food is really expensive now!" Shu Xin couldn't help but said.

Huzi nodded, "Fortunately, the land at home is all planted with wheat. When the wheat is harvested, we won't sell a single grain, and keep everything for ourselves!"

Thinking of eating steamed buns every day, Shu Xinmo.

But compared to a hungry stomach, having steamed buns is not bad.

"Let's go buy some green vegetable seeds. Let's sprinkle the seeds around where we can grow green vegetables. Even if we can't eat them all in the coming year, let's dry them into dried vegetables!"

"Row!"

The two went to buy some seeds again, and dragged a carriage full back home.

I met villagers on the road and said hello, but it was not easy to take them with me, so I could only smile and apologize. Fortunately, everyone understood and didn't say much.

Just looking at the leaving carriage, I can't help but sigh.

"Shu Xin's family is living a prosperous life!"

"No, we bought a carriage now. It's useless for us to work hard for the rest of our lives. Why don't we give birth to a capable and good daughter!"

"Only Mrs. Shu is blind. She keeps calling Sister Shu Xin a loser. Don't even think about it. She also gave birth to three!"

"Speaking of which, have you noticed that Mrs. Shu hasn't been at home for a long time, and her daughters haven't come back yet. By the way, it's past the time for the list to be published this time. Is there anyone in Mr. Shu's family who is elected? !"

"You are stupid, no one has come out to show off, and no firecrackers have been set off, so you must have missed!"

"Ahahaha, how refreshing!"

"That's right, as far as that family is concerned, they can't even be good at being a human being. No matter how good knowledge is, what's the use of it? God has eyes!"

"Maybe it's because I'm not good enough in knowledge that I didn't pass the exam!"

"Who knows, I said that the elder above knows that this family is not a good person, so don't let them bully us ordinary people!"

"It's a drop, it's a drop!"

The people in the village are talking, but Shu Xin doesn't know. She has not paid attention to the Shu family for a long time.

Whether they live or die has nothing to do with their family.

Back home, Douhua ran out after a good rest, and the family moved everything into the house.

Seeing that there was no food, Mrs. Liu asked, "Isn't food very expensive outside now?"

"Well, it's very expensive. Polished rice is more than three times more expensive than before, flour is also much more expensive, and salt is also more expensive than before. I bought fifty catties, and I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it again in the future!" Shu Xin said, He carried the suitcase and dragged Liu Shi into the house, and asked Caihua and Huzi to move things.

After entering the room, Shu Xin said, "Mom, I took another piece of embroidery, it's 1000 taels of silver!"

"How much?" Liu exclaimed.

I used to think that having ten taels of silver in my hand was a big deal.

Later, Shu Xin gave her 100 taels, but at first she couldn't sleep, dreaming every night for fear of being stolen, but gradually she got used to it.

Spending money is also lavish.

But now Shu Xin told her that the family would receive another 1000 taels, which made her surprised, happy, and scared.

"So many!"

"Well, I told my mother that I wanted to discuss it with my mother. I plan to buy the hill in the back. By the way, I will see if there is anyone in the village selling paddy fields. If so, let's buy a few acres and plant them next year. In order not to buy it outside, it is expensive and you may not be able to buy it!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu thought about it seriously, "Then let's buy it. Let's buy the mountain in the back first. The firewood is also good!"

"Yes!"

Mrs. Liu rubbed Shu Xin's head, "Hide the money well, don't tell others where it is hidden!"

"Well, I'll go to the village chief's house later, and take a look at Fifth Brother, I haven't seen him for several days!"

"Go!"

Liu knows that there are some things that cannot be persuaded, and some things that cannot be said.

Shu Xin has no love for men and women for Shu Youren, but has a brother-sister relationship. Shu Xin treats Shu Youren as an older brother.

Shu Xin took the cakes and sugar out of the house and went to the village chief's house.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Niu carefully called Shu Xin into the yard.

"Is Fifth Brother still teaching everyone how to read and write?"

"Yeah, it's just that you didn't come, your cauliflowers didn't come!" Niu asked puzzled.

"It's cold now, so I don't want to go out, so I'm staying at home to warm up by the fire!" Shu Xin said.

But he didn't say anything, he just felt embarrassed when he saw Shu Youren.

He was also afraid of seeing Yuan Shi, so the whole family didn't come much. Shu Xin also came in a hurry, put down his things and left.

Niu didn't tell the truth, "What good things did you bring here today!"

"It's nothing, I brought some candy and snacks for Fifth Brother to eat, I'll go and see Fifth Brother!"

"it is good!"

Shu Xin didn't bother Shu Youren's teaching, but hid behind the door frame, watching Shu Youren earnestly teach the children in the village to read, he was no longer as stupid as he was a few months ago, wearing a fine cotton Tsing Yi embroidered with bamboo, clean There is no wrinkle at all, but it feels a bit like the wind of the moonlight.

After watching for a while, Shu Xin turned and left.

After Shu Youren took the book and looked at the empty door frame, he suddenly felt a little lonely.

He knew that Shu Xin was coming, and he also knew that she was watching him from behind the door, so he wanted to go up and say a few words, but he didn't dare.

He knew that he was a fool, and everyone didn't like fools, and Ah Xin didn't like fools either.

"gentlemen……"

"gentlemen?"

Shu Youren regained consciousness after hearing the words, looked at the students in front of him, "Huh?"

"Sir, what is this word?"

Shu Youren looked at it carefully, and then said, "This word is pronounced wide, and the word wide is wide, and it is also long and wide!"

"Thank you sir!"

Shu Youren nodded, sitting on the chair in a daze.

How can I not be stupid?
What can I do to make Ah Xin like him and marry him as his wife!

When Shu Xin came out, he saw Niu Shi, "Sister-in-law, is the village elder at home?"

"I'm here, I'll call for you!" Niu said, thinking for a while and then said, "Mother is at home too!"

Shu Xin suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Thinking of Yuan Shi, I feel inexplicably guilty, but also a little apprehensive.

Niu looked at Shu Xin and said nothing, and patted Shu Xin on the shoulder, "Mother is not a stingy person, and she didn't take that matter to heart, don't think too much, sit down for a while, and I'll call Dad over for you!"

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

Niu smiled.

It's just that the second younger brother and sister are so rambunctious, and now they are obediently nesting in their own yard and dare not come out to make a fuss.

In the past, the second younger sibling, Mrs. Zhang, had given birth to two sons and two daughters by herself. She looked down on her for only giving birth to one son and one daughter, so she was complacent about being superior to her when she talked and acted.

When the fifth brother was sick, he ran back to his mother's house to get Joe, and the mother-in-law did not allow the second brother to pick him up. Later, he had no choice but to let his parents send him back, but the mother-in-law said directly, only this time, if there was Next time, let her go back to Zhang's house completely.

So people, you still have to thoroughly see your own status.

She was quite disappointed that Shu Xin did not marry Youren.

After all, he had helped Shu Xin's family so much back then, but Shu Xin had saved Youren's life. If you really want to talk about it, no one can figure out this muddled account.

After a while, the village chief came over.

Shu Xin quickly stood up, "Uncle Village!"

The village head nodded, "Sit down and talk!"

"En!" Shu Xin sat down obediently.

He lowered his head, hesitating how to speak.

The village chief laughed when he saw it, "Why? Is there something difficult to say?"

This child is probably in embarrassment because of the failure of his marriage with Youren.

Shu Xin raised his head and smiled at the village head, "Uncle Village, I am here today to do something!"

"Tell me!"

"I'm going to buy the hill behind my house!"

"..."

It was quiet in the main room. The village head thought he had heard wrongly. He looked at Shu Xin for a long time. Seeing that Shu Xin was no longer joking, he remained silent for a long time before he said, "Are you sure? Does your mother know?"

Shu Xin pursed her lips and nodded, "My mother knew about it and agreed!"

"That hill is not cheap!"

"How much silver do you want?"

The village chief thought about it carefully, "If you buy them all, it will cost three to four hundred taels, two-thirds of which will be sent to the yamen, and one third will be distributed to the villagers. A piece of firewood or something, once you buy it, everyone will lose their share!"

Shu Xin thought that the mountain was not small, and after thinking about it, it was worth 400 taels.

"Then trouble the village elder, I decided to buy the hill, and the village elder, can we still embroider a house next to the Qian family in the village? My godfather plans to build a house here!"

The village chief immediately sat up straight when he heard the words, "Is it very chaotic outside?"

"The godfather didn't say anything about this, he only told my family to change the banknotes into silver earlier!"

The village chief was silent.

It took a while before he said, "Do you plan to buy a few acres of paddy fields?"

Shu Xin asked in surprise, "Anyone want to sell?"

"That's right..." The village head looked at Shu Xin and said with a smile, "Many people in Mr. Shu's house have stopped planting, and they can't grow it themselves, so they plan to sell 20 mu, [-] taels of silver per mu, do you want to buy it? "

"Their family..." Shu Xin still couldn't help asking.

"Those boys went to the scholar examination, none of them passed the exam, and now they are arguing about dividing the family. It's just that the old and the young of the family are not fuel-efficient. It is difficult for this family to divide, so I plan to sell thirty. Acres of land, these fields are all connected together, not far from your home, do you think you want to buy it? If you want to buy it, I will help you deal with it!"

Shu Xin pondered for a moment before solemnly saying, "Buy!"

"How many acres do you want to buy?"

"Buy all thirty acres!"

The village head looked at Shu Xin in surprise.

How much money does this kid have?This buys mountains and fields.

"Ah Xin..." The village head hesitated to speak.

Seeing Shu Xin's earnest expression, he said, "Well then, I'll help you fix the hill first, and then take care of the paddy field. I just want to tell the Shu family that you bought the field?"

"Tell them, but there is one thing. I will give the money after the land deed must be transferred, so as not to give the money when the time comes. Eldest Uncle, play tricks!"

The village chief looked at Shu Xin and sighed, "Ah Xin, Uncle hopes that you will think about it more and more, and you are married!"

Shu Xin blushed instantly.

"Uncle, I..."

"I know, your fifth brother is a fool, not good enough for you...!"

"It's not like this!" Shu Xin quickly interrupted the village chief, "Uncle Village, it's not like this, but I don't have any affection for Brother Fifth. Think about him, take care of him, but marry him...!" Shu Xin took a deep breath, "I can't do it, and my family's situation, if I get married, my mother is weak, and my younger siblings are still young. I can’t support this family, and I still want to raise my younger brother so that he can be a scholar or something in the future, so don’t nest in this ravine!”

The village chief was silent.

Who doesn't want the son of the family to be capable.

It's good for Shu Xin to have this idea.

Yuan Shi walked over and said, "If you still live with your family after you get married, we don't object to how you want to help your mother's family?"

"..."

Shu Xin looked at Yuan Shi, and dryly called out, "Auntie!"

Yuan Shi looked at Shu Xin, "Ah Xin, you answer me, if I don't care how you help your mother's family? Will you agree?"

"I..." Shu Xin was silent.

It took a while to seriously say, "I can't do it!"

Maybe you won't object at first, but what about in the long run?

The younger brother is still a baby boy, and it will take at least 20 years for him to be successful, let alone 20 years, too many things can happen in just two days.

Yuan Shi looked at Shu Xin, her eyes were slightly red, and she said after a while, "Ah Xin, you are a good boy, better than my aunt imagined!" Walking to Shu Xin, he reached out to touch Shu Xin's head, Only then said softly, "You have your concerns, my aunt understands, so I won't force you, go home, come and play more in the future!"

"Yeah!" Shu Xin stood up, glanced at Yuan Shi, and saw that her eyes were red and full of tears.

It was so sad.

But in the end he didn't scold her.

Feeling very uncomfortable for a while, he ran out of the village chief's house with red eyes.

As soon as Shu Xin left, Yuan shi shed tears, sat on the chair and said quietly, "I won't talk about this marriage again in the future!"

"..."

The village chief was silent.

Such a good child, brave and resourceful, courageous and knowledgeable, kind-hearted and sensible, it is indeed a great fortune for the family to be married.

He raised his hand to wipe Yuan's tears, "Don't think too much about it. From now on, you won't talk about marriage in front of Youren. He is an adult, and he knows what he wants? What can we do to get it? Let's not intervene. not good!"

"..."

The village head smiled lightly.

His little one will be fine.
