A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 141

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Cai quickly ran into the house, but was frightened after taking a few steps.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a weird back of the head, and the thick hair that should have been full of black jokes was gone.Instead, there are a few sparse strands of hair, and there are patches of baldness on the scalp without a trace of hair.

Those bare spots are neat, each piece is bigger than a copper coin, and the exposed scalp is red and swollen.At first glance, it looks like a sore has just grown, and the hair has not had time to grow.

The hair is bald in patches, like grass that has been pulled maliciously.The rest of the hair can't be loose, let alone in a bun... How ugly it is, it's even uglier than the bald heads of monks and nuns!
The Zhou family became like this overnight. This condition is very similar to a disease called alopecia areata, which is generally called ghost shaved head among the people.It's just that the disease is very rare, let alone Zhou himself, people in the nearby villages have only heard of it but never seen it.

It turned out to be a ghost who shaved his head!Overnight, so much hair can be lost.The bald ones are so round and neat, if they were not shaved by a ghost, who could do it?

When I woke up in the morning, I saw that most of Zhou's originally black hair without a trace of white hair had fallen out, and it was piled up in a thick layer beside the pillow.Boss Liu was shocked at first, and after he hurriedly brought the mirror, Zhou was even more frightened by his ghostly appearance and screamed repeatedly.He almost made his voice hoarse, which alarmed the neighbors to watch the excitement.

Body, hair and skin, influenced by parents. In ancient times, even men did not cut their hair, let alone women!That is part of beauty at all, and it would take a long time to feel distressed if a strand of hair is broken.Zhou usually loves her shiny black hair the most and is most proud of it, but suddenly she became a mangled head overnight.I and my husband didn't feel anything at night. Didn't it mean that they met a ghost?
Zhou Shi was scared to death.

She immediately remembered: Xin Changning said that the first month is the time when all kinds of monsters, big and small, go on holiday.Is it true that because I wanted to touch her marriage, I offended the gods and got retribution?

The more Zhou thought about it, the more frightened she became. After she calmed down, she immediately ordered Boss Liu to send Xin Changning's family back, and then went around to inquire about Xin Changning's falling into the water.Only then did he realize that Xin Changning had come back to life after his dead body was completely cold, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh my God, the person whom the gods have a crush on really can't move. It seems that Xin Changning is destined to be an official's wife. Liu Cai doesn't have that kind of blessing!

She instantly gave up the idea of ​​getting married, prepared a generous gift and delivered it to her door in person, and humbly apologized to Xin Changning and Liu Shi.

When such a strange thing happened, it would naturally spread quickly. People in the countryside are ignorant, and they believe it the most.As a result, people from ten miles and eight villages who wanted to play Xin Changning's ideas all stopped and weighed themselves at home.

Soon there were rumors that she had a strange fate, was blessed by ghosts and gods, and would have great fortune in the future!Besides, she is beautiful, maybe she is a heavenly girl, and ordinary people are not worthy of it.

"Xin Changning actually has such good luck! Our Huzi went to join the army, can he become an officer in the future? Will he be happy when he becomes an officer and marries Changning? If Huzi becomes an official If Changning is settled, will it offend the gods and implicate the tiger?"

Thinking of this, Master Cheng didn't dare to let Matchmaker Yu come to the house anymore, and the idea of ​​asking for marriage was temporarily put to rest.

Scaring away a Zhou family is equivalent to scaring away a lot of troubles. It's better to have people, and it's easy to do things with people!

Xin Changning, who was at leisure, smiled slightly, and pushed all the pastries and snacks sent by Mrs. Zhou to Xiao Ling, saying, "Eat it!"

"Thank you girl."

Xiao Ling was growing up, and she practiced martial arts and eats a lot. She is usually very greedy, so she immediately took it and ate it.After destroying most of the snacks in one go, he patted his full stomach and said, "Girl, my craft is good. I made a full twelve circles for her. It's all smooth and there is no stubble left. Even the doctor saw it and thought it was really a 'ghost shaves his head'!"

Zhou's hair was just plucked and shaved by Xiao Ling who sneaked into the husband and wife's room in the middle of the night, touched each other's sleeping points.

"Okay, okay, of course, it's really great." Xin Changning quickly gave a thumbs up in appreciation: "When I write a letter later, I will definitely praise you and ask your young master to reward you a lot."

"Girl, speaking of writing letters, last time you said you were going to draw a picture of cotton armor, and you haven't drawn it yet?"

"Oh, I've been busy these days and forgot, I'll draw now."

Reminded by Xiao Ling, Xin Changning quickly drew the shape and structure of the cotton armor that he knew in detail while the shop had time before it officially started.

This time there are more than a dozen sheets of paper in one painting, and the carrier pigeon must not be able to carry it.Xiao Ling used the channels of Zhenbei Palace to quickly deliver the letter to Xiao Qian.

"I know that my dear must have a way. What can I ask for if I have a wife like this!" Looking at the detailed front views, side views, section views and text explanations on the drawing paper, Xiao Qianxin's head is as sweet as swallowing honey. .He sighed softly, and immediately recruited his confidants, asking him to take the blueprints and try to make it.

At the same time, he racked his brains, trying to give Xin Changning something in return.

Send gold and silver directly, I'm afraid Xin Changning will be unhappy, as for other things... Xiao Qian thought about it, and suddenly remembered that Xin Changning had said in the letter that she wanted to sell bedding and make some cheap jewelry at the same time.

Since it is cheap jewelry, gold, silver, pearls and jade are naturally not used, but besides gold, silver, pearls and jade, there are many beautiful things in nature.For example, in the northwest of China, a particularly beautiful and cheap stone, agate, is produced.

Compared with Hetian jade, agate is the favorite decoration of women from poor families.It has rich and varied colors, especially a particularly beautiful fiery red, which has long been the hottest and most brilliant color on women in Northwest China.

However, there are not many agate ornaments in the mainland, the main reason is that it is cheap and does not attract nobles.The finished product can't be sold for much money, and not many merchants are willing to transport agate for thousands of miles to sell.

Or, give her a box of onyx.

Anyway, Zhenbei Wangfu pays tribute to the emperor every spring, and by the way, it is easy to put a box of agate among the items.

After making up his mind, Xiao Qian sent someone to buy a box of high-grade agate.

When the box of agate was delivered, it was the auspicious day when the dragon raised its head on the second day of February, and it was also the day when Songming Academy in the suburbs of Beijing started school.Xin Changning sent the finished bedding to the academy with his own hands, and got the balance of 70 taels of silver from Wu Xiucai.

Xin Changning had never been to the capital city before, so she came to see it specially this time. After paying Wu Xiucai a commission for ten cars, she took Xiao Ling and went to the capital happily. trouble.
