Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 205 Rare is more expensive (2)
"If Xiaohua chooses me in the end, I won't give you this chance." Li Zhao said solemnly.

"Hehe, I hope so." Du Yuchen revealed bitterness.

"I'm leaving first, I won't give him a chance to be alone with Xiaohua." Li Zhao said, waved his hand, and left quickly.

By the time Du Yuchen walked out from Xie's Mansion, several of them had already left Qingzhou City and were on their way back to Shuiwan Town.Because it rained for a long time some time ago, it didn't stop until a few days ago.The reason for being soaked in rain for a long time is that the mud on the official road has been everywhere in the past few days, and the entire official road is extremely muddy, which affects the speed of the carriage.

"This carriage is so slow, when will we get home." Xiaohua raised the curtain and looked at the dirt road that had been run over by people and carriages these days, and complained.

A Hong followed Xiao Hua's gaze, and then said: "Miss, this dirt road is like this. After the rain, people leave, and the carriage passes, it can't be like this, can it be the same as before? Now it's all counted. Okay, everyone was hit by a disaster a while ago. I guess they are still busy now, and there are relatively few people leaving. If it is normal, you will get muddy when you step on it, and you can’t even lift it. Besides, the weather is now It's gloomy, and although it hasn't rained these days, the sun hasn't been seen yet."

Xiaohua misses the modern asphalt and cement roads very much.As soon as the rain stopped, the road was basically dry, so we should do what we usually do.

"Miss, don't complain. We're pretty good, we all go out in a carriage. Now that it's raining, you don't want to go this way, miss."

Xiaohua thinks about it too, when did she become so hypocritical?I think when I first came here, even if it was raining, I still walked in straw sandals.I think I still had chilblains on my feet, and when I went to visit my grandpa’s grave, I fell and broke the chilblains. I spent days and nights in order to repay the big money I owed. Worrying, thinking about how to make money every day, but not coming here as usual.It's better now, life is more comfortable, and I'm going to dislike this road in a carriage.Looking at the quickly embroidered cloth shoes on her feet, Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel amused by her changes.It seems that this problem has to be corrected.There is a saying: It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.There is another saying: be prepared for danger in times of peace!

Just when Xiaohua wanted to say something, You Zixuan said: "This road is too difficult, why don't the official roads be built into sand and stones?"

Thinking of when he was in Kyoto, where would he not go on a gravel road, this dirt road is really difficult to walk.At this speed, it is estimated that we will not be able to reach Chengjiakeng until tomorrow.

"Young Lord, that's not right. The gravel road is not something we ordinary people can afford to walk on. No, it's something we, an unknown town, can afford to build. Little Lord, do you know how much money it takes to build a gravel road? Is it?" Ah Hong looked at You Zixuan with eyes that you must not know.

You Zixuan asked Xiao Hua with his eyes, and Xiao Hua said flatly, "I think it's three or four times as long as the dirt road."

"Miss, how did you know?" Ah Hong looked at Xiao Hua suspiciously.After all, the reason why she knew it was because her father was conscripted into hard labor when she was a child, and she only found out after hearing what her father said.

"What's so difficult about this? The gravel road is paved with gravel on the foundation of the dirt road. The gravel is either transported to the river or sent to the big rocks on the mountain to be crushed and then transported. The cost is very high. It came out, didn't it?" Xiao Hua just imagined according to the current principle.Of course, she didn't think the gravel roads they were talking about were modern asphalt roads.

"Miss, you are so amazing, you know everything." Ah Hong looked at Xiao Hua with admiration.

"Okay, stop sycophating. By the way, what did you buy?"

Ah Hong knew that Xiao Hua was referring to the things she wanted to bring back to Chengjiakeng.Then he said: "I bought ten bolts of high-quality cotton cloth and five bolts of ordinary cotton cloth. Among them, the top-quality cotton cloth is arranged in this way, two bolts are given to my cousin and wife, two bolts are given to the young lady and the cousin, and two bolts are given to me. Young Master, the remaining four are one for Miss Bailuo, one for Miss Xiaocao, and two for my uncle’s family. The common ones are two for Uncle Changgui’s, two for the village chief’s, and the remaining one is for Mrs. Bai .I don’t know if Miss is satisfied with the servant girl’s arrangement?”

"Then you didn't buy it for yourselves?" Xiao Hua asked in amazement, it's a rare visit to Qingzhou City, the cloth here is indeed cheaper than the one in Shuiwan Town, and the colors are better.

"Miss, the servants have enough clothes. Miss, you buy clothes or cloth for the holidays. You can have several clothes in one year alone. This is something that slaves never dared to think about before." Ah Hong felt a little The eye sockets were red with emotion.After all, when my family was suffering in the past, I couldn't wear a suit of clothes for several years, and I always picked up what others didn't want to wear.

"Silly girl, I'll buy some for you when we go back to Shuiwan Town. Isn't it the festival coming soon? Each of you is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and each of you has a piece of cloth. Choose yourself." Xiaohua sighed leisurely.

In ancient times, people who really had no money would always be struggling underneath.Fighting to the death for a few big money, an egg can cause a tragedy.And rich people will only get richer if they roll forward the money.

"The ones in front, wait." Suddenly hearing a voice calling from behind, Xiaohua felt that the voice was a little familiar.

You Zixuan's originally squinted eyes opened instantly.He glanced back and said, "It's okay, you continue to talk." Unexpectedly, Li Zhao was quite fast, and he caught up so quickly.

"Wow..." Li Zhao rode his horse to the carriage and stopped.He asked the horse to stop, and then asked Shuqi No. [-], who was driving the carriage, to tie the two horses together, and climbed into the carriage by himself.

"I'm here." Li Zhao got into the car and smiled at Xiao Hua.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Hua didn't understand why these people were so clinging to her.I am still so young, what is going on with these people?

"Of course I came to see you." Li Zhao replied without thinking.

"Didn't you just see this in the morning, what are you doing again?"

"Let me put it this way, I like you, and I want you to be my wife, Li Zhao."

Li Zhao's sudden confession left Xiao Hua stunned, but she quickly realized: "Do you know what liking is? What do you like about me?"

You Zixuan had already gotten into the carriage by Li Zhao, and when Xiaohua confessed his love, his anger had already risen. He dared to think about his own woman, is this kid tired of working?But when I heard Xiaohua's words, I couldn't help but ask myself, what is it like?What do you like about her?

After thinking about it for a long time, You Zixuan didn't know what he really liked about Xiao Hua, it seemed that he fell in love with her out of nowhere.And he knew that his liking was different from liking Yushan's cousin (Du Yuchen's younger sister).
