Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 597 Leisure
Guan Wen sent a letter to Guan Quan, and asked someone to keep an eye out in the town to see if there was any sign of Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng, father and son.But in the end, apart from bringing a little haze to the three brothers of the Guan family, they didn't receive any news.

This made Guan Wen also puzzled.

He simply asked someone to inquire about the movements of the fourth wife of Shen's residence, and only said that the fourth wife of Shen's family was raising her baby with peace of mind every day, and she never took a step out of the house.

Fourth Mrs. Shen's behavior is even more incomprehensible.

Li Xin pinched the outer skin of the roasted sweet potato with his fingertips, took it gently, and blew two mouthfuls.Xing'er dug out the exposed potato meat with a small spoon, tested the temperature, and then fed it into the mouth of little Geng'er who opened his mouth.

Little Geng'er had already started babbling, and Yang'er and Xiaokang added something to the fun of going home every day to tease little Geng'er.The three brothers didn't know what they were talking to each other, but they talked happily.

After feeding Xiao Geng'er, Xiao Bi hugged her and went to play, leaving room for Li Xin and Xing'er to talk.

Seeing Li Xin frowning slightly, Xing'er persuaded softly: "It's not useless to think so much, she told you such a series of ambiguous words just to disturb you? In my opinion, Don't think about it too much, if the sky falls, there will be a taller one to hold it up, and the eldest brother will always stand in front of you."

Li Xin smiled, nodded lightly and said: "I know, thinking too much is not good for my body. Hey, I just like to think about it when I have nothing to do. You said that a pregnant woman is Aren't they all like this?"

Xing'er smiled, nodded and said: "That's true. But for your own health, it's useless to think too much, why don't you find something else to do."

Xing'er rolled her eyes, clapped her hands and said, "Yes! Why don't you make silk flowers and sell them!"

"silk flower?"

Xing'er nodded with a smile and said: "There are quite a few patterns of silk flowers that have been handed down from the capital, and there is even a pattern that is said to be made in the palace! We in Hui County have not passed it on to us, and there are few people who do this. There are jewelry shops in the town My mate is a distant nephew of my mother, who is attached to my mother's house, and drew a few patterns of silk flowers, and we will follow suit when we have nothing to do, and maybe we can sell for a lot of money."

Li Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's fine with me, left and right are fine, don't you still want to take care of your pig farm?"

"Now I have figured out the rules of these pigs. Besides, I have hired people to watch them day and night. In fact, Awu and I don't need to be nailed there every day. In the extra free time, I also do other things to earn money. My son."

Li Xin covered her mouth and smiled, "To put it bluntly, you just want to save some pocket money."

Xing'er squinted her eyes and nodded: "Who has trouble with money? I don't think there is too much money."

Xing'er was very interested in making silk flowers. In the afternoon of the same day, she went to the cloth shop in the town to buy a piece of plain cloth, chatted with the shopkeeper, and gave twenty Wen to pick up the broken cloth in the shop. When the fabric came back, there were two big bundles, many of which were leftovers of silk and satin.

Xing'er proudly asked Li Xin for credit: "It's useless to keep these things. We can make them into head flowers. If we can't sell them, we can wear them by ourselves. There is no shortage of money to buy materials."

"Then what about your plain cloth?" The plain cloth Xing'er bought is pretty good, and the texture is good to the touch.

Xing'er laughed and said, "I have to cut some plain handkerchiefs or something and sell them side by side. It's too shabby to sell silk flowers only."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

After ordering the long-term workers to find fine wire, Li Xin and Xing'er started making silk flowers.

At first Li Xin had to follow Xing'er's style. After making a few more flowers, Li Xin began to think of patterns and make styles by herself.Myolie looked surprised, and hurriedly came up to learn from Li Xin.After coaxing Xiao Geng'er to sleep, Xiaobi came to watch out of curiosity, and was very interested at first glance, so she took a wire and imitated Li Xin.

An hour passed quickly.

Xing'er smiled and said, "Doing this really kills the time, doesn't it? I don't want you to think about it."

Li Xin nodded, but couldn't help but find it funny looking at the bunch of unruly haircuts: "If it's done, I don't know if it can be sold."

"Of course I can. People in the town can still afford a few pennies. Which sister doesn't like to be pretty!" Xing'er giggled and said, "I'm afraid that it won't sell quickly when the time comes."

Seeing Xing'er's confident appearance, Li Xin didn't want to say anything, so she just nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, Xing'er's idea was right.

When the first flowers and silk flowers had accumulated to a certain amount, Xing'er entrusted Xiao Geng'er to Xiaobi's care, and excitedly dragged Yinhuan to the town to set up a stall to sell first flowers.

The first customer was Yinhuan. He bought three of them at once, and immediately put one on his head.

Xing'er went there in the morning, and came back in the afternoon with empty hands and a smile on her face.

"Come back so soon?" Li Xin asked in surprise, "Where's the stuff?"

"It's all sold out." Myolie shook her two arms, and approached Li Xin with a smile: "All sold out."

"No way..." Li Xin was very surprised: "In such a short time..."

Xing'er smiled and said: "When I said that these styles were passed down from the capital, wouldn't everyone be vying to buy them? After all, your style is rare, and we don't have anything to sell in this area, and it will be sold out in a while." It’s not impossible.”

Li Xin realized it, and squinted at Xing'er: "It's such a clever trick."

Xing'er laughed and said, "We didn't ask for the price out of conscience. A silk flower is only two or three copper coins. Ordinary people can buy one. It's not expensive at all if you go home to please your mother-in-law and sister."

Li Xin just nodded and smiled.

Xing'er suddenly stretched out her hand and patted her forehead: "Look at me, I forgot about business when I was happy."

Xing'er sat down, reached out her hand and took out a money bag from her pocket: "Today I made a total of more than 500 Wen, Xiaobi didn't do as much as we did, she still did it piecemeal, this money can't be fooled by her." , I will give her fifty cents. We will divide the rest between the two of us."

Xing'er counted the money in a hurry, took her own share, and took two shots: "Do this in your spare time, so as not to think about it. Let's do it again when we have time. When we have accumulated a certain amount, let's take it again." Go to town and sell."

Li Xin nodded.

Xing'er called Xiao Bi, hugged Xiao Geng'er, pushed her and said with a smile: "Hurry up and get the money, and buy yourself two more beautiful clothes that the girl wears."

Xiaobi's face turned red, Li Xin smiled and pointed to the money on the table, and said, "Mrs. Guan Er gave it to you, and you also made a share of the first flower that was sold, so hurry up and keep it."

Xiao Bi hurriedly thanked Xing'er and Li Xin, carefully put the money into the purse, and put it in her arms with preciousness.

Myolie jokingly said, "Look at this Xiaocai's delusional appearance."

Xiaobi smiled shyly, accused her of a crime and went to cook in the kitchen.

Li Xin saw her entering the kitchen, so Fang said to Xing'er: "Xiaobi's deed of prostitution is in my hands. If she doesn't get out of slavery, she won't be free for a day. I promise." Pass her, when she is old, find a family for her, let her get rid of slavery and marry, and she agrees. I'm afraid I'm saving a private dowry for myself right now."

Xing'er sighed: "You are so generous, if someone has a maid, it is impossible to let the maid out of slavery. Unless the family can't afford the maid, it is also sold for a sum of money. Or The family is big and the business is big, give the slave a grace and let the slave out."

Li Xin leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hand to tease the little Geng'er in Xing'er's arms, listened to him talking to her, and said back to Xing'er: "Xiaobi is also a poor girl, let alone me Old acquaintance, there is some affection in it. She is not a person who steals, rapes and plays tricks. After coming to the house, she will be diligent and conscientious in everything she does. So I started thinking about wandering around Ah Wen. It can be seen that she is a pure and kind girl, and she should be nice to her."

Xing'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard that Gu Haitang is getting married."

"Married?" Li Xin was suddenly surprised: "I've never heard of it..."

"It seems that her parents told her about the family, and they are in a hurry." Xing'er said, "I guess, it's the fact that she seduced the eldest brother that everyone knew secretly, and her parents still want that card." Old face, I can only marry my daughter far away."

Xing'er said "Oops": "By the way, the man's house seems to be quite far away from us."

"That's fine." Li Xin nodded and said, "It's far away, and the news is not very clear. Gu Haitang's normal life, I can only listen to the superficial, and it doesn't have much impact on her reputation. .If she can live a good life in the future, she can still live comfortably. If she is still stubborn, then there is really no way, even the gods of Da Luo can't save her. "

Xing'er coughed, lowered her voice and said, "Maybe it's still a death sentence."

"Myolie!"

Xing'er chuckled softly, patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "I know, I know, you may also thank Gu Haitang for being in between you and Big Brother, so that you can understand Big Brother's intentions better... But She really deserves what she deserves, and she will know how bad it is if she suffers a little more."

Li Xin shook his head: "Forget it, what happened to her has nothing to do with me."

"You just have a good heart." Xing'er curled her lips: "But that's true. As the old saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. Since she has not harmed you now, we will also Leave her alone."

Myolie and Li Xin said that this was just an episode, but they forgot about it, and they continued to make haircuts in their free time.

Unexpectedly, one day, when Myolie came back from selling her head flowers, she found that rumors spread everywhere in the village, and the women in the village pointed at her when they saw her.

Myolie didn't know what to do, and when she returned home, she happily shared the money with Li Xin, but unexpectedly her mother came to the door and pulled Xinger to have a private conversation.

After Aunt Qian left, Xing'er hurried to find Li Xin, but seeing Li Xin's calm and peaceful appearance, she couldn't say a word.

"What's wrong?" Li Xin asked suspiciously.

Xing'er took a deep breath and forced a smile: "It's okay, my mother said that the sugarcane in the field is ripe, so she pulled me a bundle, and I'll give you half of it, the juice is so sweet."

Li Xin nodded, no doubt about him.

Xing'er left the door with a solemn expression, and immediately went to find Guan Wu. The husband and wife muttered to each other, and went to the entrance of the village to wait for Guan Wen to come back.
