Under the flower field fence

Chapter 293
Huamu was amused by Huali's words, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Huali said was very reasonable.

In addition, Huamu doesn't have so many fancy things in his heart. He has never thought about such things as taking concubines. Although Uncle Li and the others will make fun of him sometimes, he feels that as long as he can be with the one he loves for the rest of his life, it is enough. Now, just like his deceased parents, a lifetime of cuddling each other is enough.

The carriage went all the way to the south of the city, inside Baile Lane, there was a place for renting sedan chairs.

As soon as he walked into the alley, he saw all kinds of sedan chairs parked on both sides of the alley. Huamu parked the carriage directly at the street corner, and said to Huali, "I won't accompany you down. Not far ahead, there is a big That’s it, I stayed there for too long yesterday, so I think the bearer has already remembered me, so I won’t go, then you won’t be able to talk about business.”

In fact, Huamu felt somewhat annoyed in his heart, his mouth was almost worn out yesterday, how could he know that what he got in exchange was that understatement in the end.

If Huali knew what Huali was thinking now, she would be speechless. After all, Huamu had been asking the other party to be cheaper yesterday. Think about it, no matter how much Huamu said, the other party would not agree! So Huamu said so much. It's a waste of time.
Huali nodded, and got off the carriage, "By the way, brother, did you tell the bearer where we live?"

Hua Mu shook his head, "I didn't say anything, you go, as long as this matter is settled, everything is easy to talk about, then the bearer knows who I am and won't worry about it, and as long as the other party agrees, nothing will happen." It's important."

Huali smiled slightly, this was an ordinary business transaction, Huali didn't say anything, even if the bearer knew who Huamu was, it wouldn't have much impact, so asking this question would be superfluous.
Huali walked straight ahead, the alley was not very wide, and after the sedan chairs on both sides were parked, there was only a narrow alley in the middle.

As soon as Huali walked into the alley, there were voices calling for business from both sides.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, it is not difficult to imagine that this business must not be very good.

If you think about it, the rich families all have sedan chairs and bearers, but only some small households with a decent life can have spare money to rent sedan chairs, and only when they care about face can they rent sedan chairs. Will come to rent a sedan chair.
It is also conceivable that the business is not going well there.

Without squinting, Huali walked straight to the innermost part of the alley, and a big red sedan chair appeared conspicuously in front of Huali.

Several bearers squatted on the open space beside them, and when they saw someone coming, they looked at Huali with burning eyes.

"Boss rents a sedan chair." Huali walked up to one of the bearers and said loudly.

Xijiao's usual business is to wait until the auspicious day for business, and there are few people who can afford eight sedan chairs, so the business is naturally not so good.

Huali glanced at the back of the eight-carried sedan chair, and there were several sedan chairs carried by four people, also red Xijiao, and it seemed that these bearers were also managing them.

The person Huali asked was a man in his twenties, he looked very young, but the vicissitudes of life on his face made Huali take a second look.

"What kind of sedan chair does Miss need?" Perhaps seeing the clothes on Huali's body and the headgear on her head, she felt that Huali looked like a rich man, and the man's expression gradually eased. Just now, he had a stern face because of poor business. The expression on the man's face gradually softened a lot.

Huali pretended to be watching the sedan chairs, and after looking around several red sedan chairs, she pointed to the sedan chair carried by four people and asked, "How is this sedan chair counted?"

As soon as the young man heard this, he came up and said in a very gentle voice, "The sedan chair carried by four people costs one tael of silver a day, and the wedding money given to the bearers on the way is not included in the middle."

It is a rule to give money to the bearer who carries the sedan chair. Because the bearer is too tired to carry the sedan chair, he will usually stop and go. Naturally, he doesn’t care when he walks, but if he stops, the bride will give it to the bearer when he rests. Those who like money, when they encounter bridges and other places, they also have to give them money.

Therefore, the income of the bearers is actually quite considerable. If you meet one or two generous families, you can earn some money.

Huali asked someone for advice when she came here, so she naturally understood the meaning, "Of course, this small sedan chair costs a tael of silver a day, so what about the big red sedan chair over there?" On the sedan chair.

The young man became even more joyful when he heard it. He really didn't expect that there were so many people who needed eight sedan chairs recently.

"Miss, that day is five taels of silver, and the happy money is calculated separately."

When Huali heard the price, she could accept it, but if she wanted to securely get the sedan chair, the price might not be suitable.

"Have you taken over business for this sedan chair recently?" Huali asked with a slight smile.

In fact, Huali knew in her heart that in the past few days until the eighth day of the lunar new year, there were no good and auspicious days, so naturally no one would use this sedan chair.

Sure enough, when the young man heard this, he shook his head without hesitation and said, "Recently, there is no business, but there are several reservations, but because I haven't found a suitable employer, so the whole family has not been confirmed, the lady asked I don't know what this means?"

Huali said without talking nonsense, "There are still seven days until the eighth day, right?"

The young man nodded, indicating that it was so.

Huali continued, "From tomorrow onwards, I will give you one tael of silver every day. Until the wedding is over on the eighth day of the lunar new year, I will give you a total of 12 taels of silver. What do you think?"

The young man was very surprised. Even the bearers who were squatting aside raised their heads in surprise and looked at Huali in surprise.

The young man asked Huali with a look of astonishment, "What does Miss mean by making such a decision?"

The young man didn't understand, 12 taels of silver was not a small amount, even if it was some big family in the city, it would be impossible to just take it out so easily, not to mention the woman standing in front of her now, she seemed to be a little girl.

Huali ignored the surprise of these people and continued, "What I need is that you not be late on the eighth day of the lunar new year. I have an important role in this sedan chair. I will not hide this from you. I know that your business has been good recently. The sedan chair must be right. Yes, but you can think about the price I gave you, whether you think it is suitable, if you think about it now, I will deposit gold and silver for you."

The young man obviously didn't think that Huali didn't make fun of them, and it seemed that there was such a thing.

Hesitantly, the man asked, "Why did Miss do this, can I know?"

Huali smiled slightly, "I just want to ensure that the sedan chair is safe. As long as you do things well, I will still reward you. The money will definitely be indispensable to you."

Huali doesn't believe that money can turn ghosts, this money can't satisfy the man.

Obviously, Huali gave the highest price. In the past two days, I saw other people bidding, Huali gave the highest and most suitable price.

The man is not stupid, and so are the other bearers. He knows that if he misses the business in front of him now, it will be very rare to find someone who can afford 12 taels of silver.

What Huali wants is the current effect, a one-time attack with a psychological defense in place, although the money may be a little more, but what she wants now is an affirmative answer, not a perfunctory like she did to Huamu yesterday.

Several bearers had a good discussion, and finally the young man came up as a representative and said to Huali, "Miss, we agree."

Huali was overjoyed when she heard that, and then said to the young man, "Do you have ink here?" Huali had already written the contract last night, so he just needed to sign both copies.

The young man didn't understand the meaning of Huali's question, but he still said, "We don't have pens, inks, papers and inkstones here. I don't know what the lady is going to do with these?"

Huali also said without ambiguity, "I just want to say that there is no proof. I will give you the deposit and silver first. Naturally, I want something safe. I can hold it in my hands like this. I don't worry about it."

Hearing this, the man smiled embarrassingly, "Miss is careful in doing things, don't worry, we are all honest."

A bearer has already prepared his pen and ink.

Huali directly dumped five liang of silver to the young man, "You take the silver, do you want me to read this contract to you, or do you want to read it yourself?"

The young man stepped forward to accept the contract, and looked carefully, "We have no objection to this."

As soon as Huali heard it, she signed the key points directly, and then gave it to the young man.

He left a copy of the signed contract for the young man, and put the remaining Huali in his arms.

"On the evening of the seventh day, I hope you can come to Huajiazhuang outside the city early. You should know the location of Huajiazhuang."

Huali asked seriously.

The young man nodded, "We know Huajiazhuang, we will be there on the night of the seventh day."

Because of preparations and the like, the bearers usually arrive on the evening of the seventh day of the lunar new year, rest at the employer's house for one night, and then go to pick up the relatives the next day.

Huali handed over some details of her family to the bearers, said goodbye, and walked out of Baile Lane.

Huamu looked into the alley with a worried face, worried that Huali would not be able to talk about this matter, but he saw Huali walking over with a relaxed face from a distance.

Huamu's heart also raised, "How is it? Has the matter been completed?" Huamu is most worried about this matter, so naturally he should be more eager.

Huali chuckled, "Brother, don't you feel relieved when I go out? It's just a few taels of money." Huali didn't hide anything, and said directly.
