Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 73
Asking the two sisters to clean up and wait, Li Xin walked over and pulled Guan Wen out, hesitantly said: "Let's go and ask Brother Wei how much that calligraphy and painting can be sold for, and convert it into silver. It's weird. I'm not very comfortable dealing with people like this."

Guan Wen paused, hesitated and asked, "Give... five taels of silver?"

"Of course not. The five taels of silver was sold by your sixth brother. We don't know how. It's not good to keep this matter from Brother Wei. Tell him lightly, and then give him the silver taels." Li Xin After a pause, "I don't think Brother Wei is too fussy. He shouldn't blame us."

He laughed again, "If he draws a line with us just because of this, then forget it."

Guan Wen nodded silently, held Li Xin down and said, "I'll go and talk."

I don't know how Guan Wen told Wei Shusheng. When Li Xin passed by, he heard Wei Xing know: "It's not to blame Brother Wen and sister-in-law, and there is no need for Brother Wen to fold it into silver taels and return it to me. Since I sent If it goes out, you will naturally deal with it, even if I sell it, I can’t ask you for money, can I?”

Wei Xingzhi waved his hand graciously and asked for no money, Li Xin took out a tael of silver after thinking about it and insisted on stuffing it in his arms, Wei Xingzhi hurriedly refused.It was inconvenient for Li Xin to push back and forth with him like this, so after thinking about it, he handed it directly to Aunt Wei's hand, then backed out without waiting for Aunt Wei's reaction, and said with a smile: "We understand what Brother Wei means, but we feel very sorry. If you If you think highly of us, you can accept the money, and it is not in vain for us to make friends."

Aunt Wei stood up, and Li Xin hurriedly said: "Don't push it to me, auntie!" Then he said to Wei Shusheng: "Even if it is to buy medicine for auntie, it will cost money? You keep it, it will be winter soon, and the bed at home will be covered." If it’s cold, you can buy more quilts. The aunt’s body is weak, but she can’t get cold.”

Wei Xingzhi was in a dilemma, Guan Wen made a final decision, "That's it! Brother Wei, don't push any further, or you'll be a little childish!"

Wei Xingzhi had no choice but to nod generously, and said, "Brother Wen and sister-in-law are both genuine people, and they are also my nobles, Wei Xingzhi!"

"Brother Wei will be our nobleman when he goes to high school!" Li Xin smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you. Our home is in Hehua Village. If you come to Hehua Village, you must come to our house as a guest."

"Definitely!" Wei Xingzhi cupped his hands, Li Xin smiled and said to Aunt Wei: "Auntie often comes to play when she is free."

"Good! Good!" Aunt Wei nodded and smiled, "You guys come to play, too. We live at the entrance of Jiuzi Alley, and there is a medicine shop next to it. It's easy to find. You must come and play!"

Li Xin naturally agreed.

After saying goodbye to Guan Wen and the mother and son of the Wei family, Li Xin said to Guan Wen, "Hurry up and sell that deer, Axiu and sister-in-law and I will go to Fumanlou to order and wait for you, and we will go back to the village in the afternoon. .”

Guan Wen sighed, "I'm afraid it won't be sold for a while."

Just as he was talking, Guan Wu called him, "Brother, someone bought a deer!"

"Look, didn't someone come and buy it?"

The deal went smoothly. Guan Wen asked for three taels, and others paid back two and a half.

Li Xin simply waited for the two brothers to leave together.

Everything was sold out today, and Li Xin was very emotional. Although her father-in-law gave her bad luck early in the morning, her luck was good afterwards.

The two and a half Guan Wen was directly given to Li Xin.

Not only was it equivalent to one tael given to Wei Shusheng, but there was also a tael or two left over.

Along the way, A Xiu told Li Xin this and that from time to time, the most talked about was how much money she made today, and she never closed her mouth with a grin.On the other hand, A-mei seemed more mature and steady, she kept smiling and said nothing, only occasionally looked at the places she was interested in, and then looked away well, it seemed that she had let go of her temper today.

Li Xin was helplessly dragged by Axiu's arm, and patted her forehead unbearably, "I know you are happy today, but don't go around yelling about how much you have gained today! You are not afraid of attracting someone to touch your body." His money was touched."

Axiu was frightened all of a sudden, looked around at the people around her, and then asked Li Xin in a low voice, "Really?"

"If you keep yelling, it will come true." Li Xin poked her head angrily, "You heartless girl, keep the money that other people have, for fear that others will find out. You are good, I wish others Do you know?"

Axiu shyly twisted Li Xin's arm, "It's the first time I hold such a large sum of money in my hand, I can't help being excited..."

Li Xin patted her on the head, and said: "Be careful and watch carefully, you were really touched by someone, you have no place to cry."

Seeing Axiu tightly hugging the purse in her waist and abdomen like a thief, with a serious expression, Li Xin couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't make everyone look like a thief, I'm afraid others won't know that you have money on you." ? Just relax a bit, and don’t be too loose. It’s not good if you lose your vigilance.”

Axiu nodded quickly.

Guan Wu laughed at the side and said, "It's the first time I see my sister worrying about gains and losses like this, how much did you earn today?"

Axiu curled her lips, "I didn't tell my second brother!"

"Tell Second Brother what's wrong? Are you afraid that Second Brother will ask you to rub it?" Guan Wu laughed.

Guan Wen said: "You and sister have already used sugar balls to gag your second brother, does he dare to let you treat him again?"

Li Xin and A-Mei laughed at the same time.

Being told by her elder brother about the little calculation in her heart, Axiu was not ashamed, and said happily: "I must earn less money than the eldest brother and the second brother, but that is because of the hard work of my sister and me." I got it in exchange for hard work. I have never made so much money before! As for how much... I won’t tell you!”

Pouted and hugged Li Xin's arm, Axiu said softly: "Sister-in-law, do you think my elder brother and second brother are jealous of me?"

"I'm jealous of you. You only made a little money and you're so happy." Guan Wu waved his hands pretending to be disgusted, "Little miser."

Axiu snorted, rubbed her belly and asked Li Xin, "Sister-in-law, is Fumanlou here yet?"

"almost."

The county town of Hui County is very prosperous, because there is a Dagui River passing by, the transportation is quite convenient, and there are many merchants.Huixian County is famous for three things. One is the aged wine from the deep cellar, the other is the lychee groves with hundreds of acres of land, and the third is the various kinds of lychees that have been washed out over the years on the banks of the Dagui River. Strange stone.

The old wine from the cellar was served on the emperor's table;

The three things that Huixian people are proud of are continuing the prosperity of Huixian County.Aged wine is exported to various provinces and prefectures, and mature lychees are rushed to the mansions of various dignitaries. The "Gem Fair" held every year selects the most unique stones in the competition for tribute, and goes directly from the prefectures and provincial capitals to the central capital of the capital.

Fumanlou is a very high-end restaurant in Huixian County. Generally, restaurants have two floors. The lower floor is the lobby, and the upper floor is a small room. You can go to the box on the second floor.

Fuman Building has three floors, which is a bit taller than other buildings.The eaves teeth are pecked high, and the green tiles are displayed, which is very imposing.The business model of this restaurant is quite interesting - the restaurant does not provide accommodation, the accommodation can only be in inns, and there are several inns around Fumanlou, and the business is surprisingly good.

There is no lobby on the first floor, but an empty space in the center, singing and dancing yesterday, storytelling today, singing and dancing the next day, and some small competitions will be held every once in a while, or a "tasting" for people to try new dishes when the restaurant launches. Tasting meeting".Boxes are set up around the venue, so that you can have a closer look at any situation in the venue.

The second floor is the lobby, which spreads out in a circular shape, where you can watch the performances in the venue.The third floor is a box, and it is not open to see the venue, it is only for talking and eating.

Because of these factors, Fumanlou has a high reputation.There is nothing other restaurants can do if they want to imitate Dongshi - no other restaurant has three floors than Fumanlou, and there is only two floors, so they can't just leave one floor empty.

When Li Xin and his group arrived at Fumanlou, it was the time when the restaurant was bustling. The waiters on the second floor were very busy, and the people on the edge of the second floor all went to the center of the venue to watch the excitement.Fuman Building occupies a spacious area. When Li Xin entered, the clever little Er had already greeted him warmly, "Who are the guest officers? Please, please, please!"

Guan Wen has been through darts, so he has rich social experience, and he has also been to this Fumanlou.After discussing with Li Xin, Guan Wen said, "There are five of us, are there any vacancies on the second floor?"

"Yes, the guest officer will come with me."

Xiao Er threw the towel on his shoulders and went forward to welcome the guests. Li Xin took a good look at the layout of Fanfumanlou, only to think that the owner who runs Fumanlou must be an active and business-minded person.He couldn't help sighing: "Little brother, this restaurant of yours is the only one in Hui County, and the shopkeeper is well-run."

The second brother smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is also what the boss says and he will do it. Our boss is the real good talent!"

"Who is your boss? This dance is quite beautiful, don't you feel tired all the time?" Axiu asked curiously.

The second elder brother smiled lightly and said, "Don't you know this little lady? Our owner is the master of the Shen family. Master Shen and Mrs. Shen have a deep love for each other. The husband and wife have jointly established many properties, and this Fumanlou is one of them." Laughing again Said: "Of course it's tiring to dance all the time. During the day, I just dance for a while at noon and in the evening. I don't dance all the time. It's just for the meal."

Axiu opened her mouth slightly, "The Shen family... Which Shen family?"

"Look at what the little lady asked, is there a second Shen family in Hui County? Naturally, it is the number one merchant in Hui County, Shen Cexing, Master Shen."

The second brother smiled and led Li Xin and his party to a seat next to the window that opened outwards, and apologized: "There are a lot of people eating at noon, so they all go to the side of the building, there is really no place. Can the guest sit here?"

"It's okay," Li Xin said with a smile, "We're not here to watch a performance."

The second brother hurriedly apologized, bowed slightly and asked Li Xin what he wanted to eat.Li Xin ordered three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and one soup from a wooden vegetable price board hanging on a wall, and the younger brother read it silently, poured tea for them courteously, and then smiled. Goodbye.

Axiu was still a little bit stunned, "Sister-in-law, just now the younger brother said... This Fumanlou is opened by the Shen family? It's the wife of the Shen family who bought us half a tael of silver earlier?"

Li Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, took a sip of tea and said slowly: "If the two Shen wives are really the same person, then it is."
