peasant girl

Chapter 163, Sowing discord (3 more

The shopkeeper immediately asked the staff to wrap the three pairs of earrings in red cloth.

He took out a thin silver bracelet again.

Zhu Xiao always chooses the simplest ones, which are atmospheric and good-looking, and they are all solid. If you really have no money in the future, you can exchange them for emergency.

Zhu Zhaodi looked at Zhu Xiaochou with a smile, she knew that her vision was not good enough.

Zhu Hua'er liked those beautiful ones, but they were expensive, so she looked at Zhu Xiao anxiously.

How could Zhu Xiao not see her little thought, but she didn't plan to spoil her, so she picked three of the same style, "Shopkeeper, can these three be engraved inside the bracelet?"

"This is fine, but if it's just engraving, you won't be able to get the bracelet today, and you'll have to wait a few days!"

"How many days?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"At least three days!"

Three days later, before the Chinese New Year, Zhu Xiao felt that it was just right, "Then three days later, let my father come and pick it up, do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper immediately began to count the money.

One silver bracelet is five taels of silver, three are 15 taels, and a pair of silver earrings are two taels of silver.

"A total of 21 taels of silver!"

In fact, this is already a big expense.

Ordinary people don’t buy solid bracelets like this, most of them buy hollow ones, even earrings. People from poor families buy earrings. The three pairs of earrings Zhu Xiao chose look small and delicate, but they are all Solid, but there is weight.

Zhu Xiao didn't know how much profit there was.

"Shopkeeper, you see we bought so much, you think it's cheaper, how about 20 taels?" Zhu Xiao counter-offered.

"This……"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment.

These things must be earned, and it is only a question of how much.

But he couldn't stand the loss of a tael of silver all of a sudden, "Let's do it this way, five hundred cash less, and I'll give you three sets of tremella needles. You can wear these after your ears are pierced!"

The shopkeeper immediately brought three pairs of white fungus needles.

Zhu Xiao looked at it and thought it was okay, so she nodded her head as a response.

The bracelet was to be placed in the shop for engraving. Zhu Xiao paid the silver and wrote down the name to be engraved. After the shopkeeper opened it for three days, he took the receipt for the bracelet, wrapped the earrings, and enthusiastically sent the father and daughter out of the shop.

Zhu Hua'er was still very happy, with smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows, holding Zhu Xiao's hand, and carefully flattering her.

Zhu Xiao patted her head, and decided to talk to her after returning home.

Why, why not.

Zhu Erlang was preoccupied.

After all, it cost more than 20 taels of silver all at once, and it was Zhu Xiao who made up his mind the whole time, and he sat on the side without even daring to speak.

Because he has no money and no confidence.

The things were basically bought, and the father and daughter decided to go home. Zhu Xiao didn't want to walk back, nor did he want to take the slow-moving ox cart, "Father, let's go back in a carriage!" Zhu Xiao said.

Zhu Erlang thought for a while, "OK!"

Going back earlier, he can also catch more sparrows.

Zhu Xiao and the others left the Qiaoli Pavilion, and not far away, Zhu Mingguang slowly walked out.

I looked at the sign of Qiaoli Pavilion.

Are they rich enough to buy things in Qiaoli Pavilion?

Zhu Mingguang walked into Qiaoli Pavilion slowly, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him, "What do you want to buy, sir?"

"It's a shopkeeper like this. The four people who just left are my second uncle and three cousins. I want to ask them what they bought?"

"..." The shopkeeper looked at Zhu Mingguang, smiled and said, "I didn't buy anything, but the little girl is going to have her ears pierced, so I just bought three pairs of silver earrings!"

The other shopkeepers never mentioned it.

No matter what, when you come to his shop to buy something, you are a customer, and the customer has the privacy of the customer, so he knows what to say and what not to say.

"It's like this!" Zhu Mingguang murmured.

Three pairs of silver earrings are more than how much money.

After thanking the shopkeeper, Zhu Mingguang left the shop.

The shopkeeper looked at his back and frowned slightly. This young man looked pretty, but there was something evil in his eyes, he didn't look like a good person.The father and daughter found a carriage, boarded the carriage, and passed by Wei Ding Xian on purpose, looking at the sign outside Wei Ding Xian for collecting sparrows, they felt a little relieved.

Thinking about going home, I must catch more sparrows and sell them in the town tomorrow.

If possible, he would like to send it overnight.

Let's talk about old man Zhu rushing to the town, Zhu Erlang and the others were nowhere to be seen at the gate of the town. He also knew that he didn't invite his father and daughter to see him, and he also knew that they didn't intend to pay attention to him, so he simply looked for Zhu Dalang.

I just went to several places, but neither Zhu Erlang nor Zhu Mingguang was found. I asked several acquaintances, and they all said that they did not see Zhu Mingguang.

There is no money in hand, and the whole person is hungry and thirsty.

Seeing a lot of people gathered at the entrance of Wei Ding Xian, old man Zhu asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"You don't know yet, Wei Dingxian just posted a notice saying that you want to get a sparrow, no matter how much you want, and it costs a penny!"

"What..." Zhu old man shook his head.

For a penny a piece, this sparrow can still be sold so expensive.

I didn't care about looking for Zhu Dalang and Zhu Mingguang, so I hurried to find the ox cart and drove to Zhujia Village.

I was thinking in my mind, how many sparrows were caught this morning, and how much money?
Thinking again, how much Zhu Erlang and the others have earned, will he hand it over?

Zhu Erlang and the others arrived at the house first, and Lu Shi and the others also caught a lot of sparrows, killed a large pot, and waited for Zhu Xiaowan to continue cooking the sparrows to eat.

"Erlang, you are back, where is your father?" Lu Shi asked.

"..." Zhu Erlang was taken aback.

He forgot about old man Zhu.

In that room, Zhu Xiao took the meat, bones, and pig intestines to the kitchen, and asked Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer to take the cloth and rags to the house.

Regarding Lu Shi's words, she just smiled coldly.

She didn't forget it, but she didn't care how old man Zhu came back.

"I, I forgot!"

After Zhu Erlang finished speaking, he was a little embarrassed, and quickly took out the five taels of silver and handed it to Mrs. Lu, "This is the money they got for catching sparrows in the morning. They got a total of ten taels of silver. I split the five taels of silver and it's yours!"

Seeing the silver, Lu Shi, who was a little angry, suddenly laughed, "So much...!" He quickly took the silver in his hand, feeling overjoyed.

I never dreamed that I could earn five taels of silver in one morning.

"Erlang, you don't need money by yourself, Zongbao will go to the academy to study in the new year soon, why don't you give the money to mother, mother..."

"That's impossible, don't even think about it!" After Zhu Erlang finished speaking, he went out to catch sparrows after getting his things.

Anyway, he wouldn't give Lu Shi any more money.

As for shopping, as Xiao Xiao said, if the Zhu family doesn't eat them, they will.

Lu Shi stood where he was, habitually opening his mouth to scold.

Just when Zhu Erlang looked back, his eyes were cold and heavy, and she was so startled that she quickly swallowed her words.

Don't dare to say a word.

Thinking about the pot of sparrows that he killed, Lu felt regretful.

How could he be killed by a cheap hand and a greedy mouth?

In the kitchen, Zhu Jinzhi and Zhu Jinhong put the sparrow away, and when they saw Zhu Xiao come in, they hurried forward, "Has the sparrow been sold?" Zhu Jinzhi asked.

"It's sold. I sold it for ten taels of silver. We divided it equally. I gave you five taels of silver. Your share is in your grandma's hands. Go and ask her for it!" Zhu Xiao smiled mischievously. Looking, the eyes are full of teasing.
