Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 72
Li Xin sighed secretly, she thought that Wei Xingzhi was a good person, but Axiu probably had resistance to scholars.

I'm not happy, and it's meaningless to get married.

Thinking about it again, Wei Xingzhi is a scholar.Although it is said that the family is in the middle of nowhere, but he has a reputation, a clean net worth, and a bright future.If he becomes prosperous in the future, it is hard to guarantee that he will not change his mind.Axiu is a typical country girl. After Wei Xingzhi has been wandering around in the world for a long time, he will inevitably find Axiu tacky.

Anyway, people are changeable.

Li Xin stopped this topic and patted Axiu's head, "I'll go and ask my mother if there is any good young man of the right age in two days, and I will definitely find a good one for Axiu."

Only then did Axiu lower her head shyly, "Thank you sister-in-law for planning for me..."

"When a girl gets married, it's like being born again. You can't be sloppy. I naturally hope you will be well." Li Xin sighed, "Such a good girl, I'm still reluctant to marry someone else."

Axiu burst out laughing, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law chatted for a while. Amei came back with five candy balls in her hands, handed one to Li Xin and Axiu, and then ran to her second brother. One, came back and looked around for her elder brother, only to find that her elder brother was chatting with someone at a stall, looking very happy.

A-mei hesitated and turned to Li Xin, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, what is elder brother doing there?"

"I've met an acquaintance, it's not bad to let him chat with him." Li Xin said with a smile: "I'm afraid your elder brother doesn't eat sweets, so you can eat one more by yourself."

A-mei wanted to shake her head, but recalled that she gave it to the second brother just now, and the second brother frowned and reluctantly took it, and lowered his head slightly disappointed, "I can't eat two, and I can't give it back..."

"Then you can take it to that old lady." Seeing that Amei was very depressed, Li Xin pointed to Wei Xingzhi's side, "That old lady, you can just call me Aunt Wei, take it to Aunt Wei Try it."

A-mei glanced at her and saw that she was a kind-faced old lady, she felt a little relieved, she nodded shyly and walked over with two small bamboo sticks holding two sugar balls.

Axiu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think our younger sister looks like a rich lady in a boudoir? Demeanor and behavior, we think it's quite slow, it seems that the ladies of the big family are like this Sister Haitang from the old Gu family in our village works as a maid in the Shen family in the town. When she came back, what she described to us was that the young lady of the Shen family talked with small mouths, walked with small steps, and even sneezed. Incredibly many."

Li Xin asked in surprise, "Old Gu's family?"

"Sister-in-law may not be very familiar with our family, and the two families are still far apart. But Sister Haitang is quite a nice person. At that time, their family was poor, so they sent Sister Haitang to be a maid so that the family Save a bite." Seeing that Li Xin didn't know her, Axiu told her carefully, "Sister Haitang has worked in the Shen family for many years, and it seems that the Shen family's mistress has matched her for marriage recently. It was said that Sister Haitang would return to our village to prepare for her marriage in a few days. She would come back every three months and told us many rules of the Shen family."

Li Xin was thoughtful.

The Shen family...

I remember that day at Liuzhenfang, Miss Cui's family asked for a string of garlands, but she was ordered by a Mrs. Shen. no.

The Shen family should be a wealthy family in the town, at least comparable to the Cui family.The Cui family is famous for being "kind", and the master and wife of the Cui family are all kind people.Then this Shen family...

Just as she was thinking about it, A-Mei ran back blushing and sat quietly behind Li Xin, pursing her lips carefully, looking like... shy?

Axiu laughed and said, "What are you doing hiding in front of sister-in-law? Let's quickly sell all the leftovers, sister-in-law said, take us to eat delicious food today."

"You naughty girl, you remember this sentence clearly!"

Axiu accepted Li Xin's scolding with a laugh, and parroted her tongue to solicit business.A few knots strewn here and there on the bamboo poles and two other gadgets were also quickly sold.

Axiu and Amei hid aside and counted the money. Li Xin looked at the deserted deer in front of Guan Wu, frowned and said, "Second brother, if this wild thing can't be sold, it can't be carried back, or it will be sold at a lower price." I can go."

Wild animals are basically free of cost. If you sell more and sell less, you will make money, but if you wait for half a day and no one comes to buy it, then the gain will outweigh the loss.

Li Xin looked at the deer that was no longer so manic in the back, and coughed softly, "It's better to sell it quickly, and I can go to Fumanlou for a good meal at this point. I made money today , or enjoy it.”

Calculating carefully, one dish of Fumanlou would cost about twenty or thirty dollars, and the four of them plus her, five of them, would order five or six dishes, which would only cost about two hundred dollars.Today, the woman half-bought and half-rewarded half taels of silver was enough, besides, she brought some money from her own house to buy some better silk thread to make embroidery purses and so on. The price can also be higher.

The weather is getting colder, and I'm about to wear two cotton coats.In recent days, after the autumn harvest, straw was burned and returned to the field to increase fertilizer. Many people went to the temple to fulfill their vows and pray for a good weather next year. Yuanguang Temple should also welcome visitors today, and there will be many people.If she catches up with this time to sell some small things, she thinks the business will be very good.If you can sell some food, you can make more money.

It will be Lidong in a few days, and it will be Xiaoxue in a few days. There must be a lot of people in Yuanguang Temple on the day of Xiaoxue, so it is just right to go there at that time.

There are not many days left now, if you really want to set up a stall at Yuanguang Temple to do business at night, you have to rest in the town for a night, and you have to say hello to Awen's aunt's house for the night.

Guan Wulue looked embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, brother said that there will always be someone to buy."

"What should I do if no one comes to buy it after sunset?" Li Xin said with a smile, and then asked: "How much does your elder brother say you need to sell this deer?"

"Five taels of silver."

Li Xin was stunned, "Your elder brother is not afraid that he won't be able to carry it. The price is so high that people are scared away."

Guan Wu chuckled, "Brother said that people nowadays like to bargain, if you ask for a higher price, it's not good for them to pay you too low, and we will earn more."

"But why didn't he think that the price was so high that people wouldn't be willing to take a second look?"

Li Xin shook his head helplessly, and shouted to Wei Xingzhi, "Awen, come here!"

Guan Wen and Wei Xingzhi were chatting excitedly, and when their daughter-in-law called out to say hello, they ran over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You only care about chatting with people, and the second brother is here alone, so you are ashamed!" Li Xin whispered in his ear, then gave him another look, and said, "The price of this deer is too high. Just ask for three taels of silver to see if anyone comes to buy it. If someone bargains with you, you can try to lift it up as much as possible. If you think it’s more than one tael of silver, you can sell it. The weather is fine today, so we packed up earlier and went to Fukuoka. Eat all over the building. Last time when my aunt was there, didn’t Brother Changhui say that the food in their restaurant was pretty good?”

Guan Wen was not angry after being told by his wife, and stood next to Guan Wu after agreeing, "Second brother is tired, go and rest, I'll just come here to sell."

Guan Wu stood there like a log, blushing and didn't call for people to buy his deer.

Li Xin shook his head and went back to Axiu's side, and was about to say hello to the sisters and talk to Aunt Wei, when Axiu suddenly exclaimed, turned her head and said to Li Xin: "Sister-in-law, that lady just now is Mrs. Shen's family!"

Li Xin's eyes widened in surprise, and he took a few steps quickly. Axiu pointed to Amei and said, "The boss of Tangyuanqiu said that when Amei went to buy candy balls to eat."

A-mei nodded quickly, and said in a low voice: "The uncle said that it was Mrs. Shen's. He saw it at the door of Shen's house when he was carrying the burden of selling syrup. He couldn't be wrong."

Axiu was amazed, "The wives of rich families also like to visit our market? I thought they would think this place is dirty. Sister Haitang said that wives and ladies have to take a handkerchief if there is a little dust on their feet." I wiped it away, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Shen is not like this."

Li Xin was amused, thinking, it must be that Gu Haitang said this to coax them, the little girls in the village, to play.Probably because he thought that he had stayed in the Shen family for a long time and became a member of the town. He thought he was better than others, so he came back and told some things that a little girl like Axiu didn't know to show his superiority. Surprised or envious or jealous expressions to fill their own sense of superiority.Naturally, there are many exaggerated elements in these words.

However, Li Xin was a little surprised that Mrs. Shen's family would come to this market to hang out.

However, Axiu was thoughtful: "Speaking of the owner of Tangyuanqiu... I haven't asked you yet. You went to deliver Tangyuanqiu to the old lady, why did you turn red when you came back?"

Amei took a step back after a "crush", hesitated and hummed Yiyi for a long time but didn't hum a word.Axiu stretched out her hand to pinch her tender face, glanced at Wei Xingzhi, and asked in surprise, "Did Amei see the scholar?"

Li Xin paused and took a closer look. Amei's eyebrows were indeed lowered. When Axiu said this, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

It stands to reason that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's cardamom age is just the time when her love begins to bloom.A-mei has been confined at home since she was a child, and in those few years, Mrs. Sun was taunting and scolding at home, so her temper has long since been put away, maybe she won't be able to find someone to open up if she is just in love?
She only saw the four older brothers most of the time, but Guan Wen was often away, Guan Wu was dull and reticent, and Guan Quan was also busy with farm work, so when he came home, he would probably fall asleep right away.The only person in the family who can let her have more contact is Guan Zhicheng.

Although Guan Zhicheng's temperament is not in Li Xin's way, he is still a handsome young man, and because he has studied, he has the noble temperament of a scholar, which is most attractive to little girls.

Of course, it may be that A-mei is shy because she rarely sees non-blood relatives in her age group?

Li Xin just thought about it, but didn't take this matter to heart, after all, Amei is still young.

Axiu on the other end was still jokingly asking: "Tell Fifth Sister, Fifth Sister will never laugh at you! Did you see that the book grows beautifully?"

"Fifth Sister...you, you bully..." Amei turned her head to ignore her, grabbed Li Xin's clothes and asked her for help, "Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister bullied me..."

Li Xin waved Axiu away amusedly and said, "Okay, you don't know that Amei is thin-skinned, so don't tease her. Clean up everything, let's go to Fumanlou to order food first, and wait for your eldest brother and second brother to come."
