Chapter 5 Procurement
Three women in one play.With so many women in the village, there is no shortage of big plays every day.As an outsider, it is normal for Meng Yuxuan to be ostracized by them.

"How did I hear that you don't want to marry Xi'er's father?" Huier's mother said angrily, "This foxy face can pretend to deceive everyone, right?"

"Sister-in-law, I don't understand why you always target me. Who said that I don't want to marry Xi'er's father? The head of our family risked his life to save me. In my eyes, he is a real man. I like such a man very much. Absolutely no intention of not wanting to marry." Meng Yuxuan said angrily.

"That's enough, that's enough. Xi Erniang has already made it so clear, everyone don't call her Miss Meng anymore. Since she is willing to stay and be Xi'er's father's wife, everyone will still call her Xi Erniang from now on." Aunt Lin pulled Meng Yuxuan's eyes became a little more intimate. "When I saw you yesterday, my aunt also believed in other people's gossip, thinking that you would leave sooner or later, so I called you Miss Meng. Since you are willing to marry Xi'er's father, this address can't be messed up."

"Yeah." Of course Meng Yuxuan had no objection.She and Shangguan Huan did not pay homage, but everyone knew that the Li family sent her here to be Shangguan Huan's wife.Even if you want to leave, that is a matter of the future.Before she left, she was Shangguanhuan's daughter-in-law.

"It's getting late, do you still want to go?" Wang Chengkui put away the dry smoke and called to Hui Erniang.

"Go! Why don't you go?" Hui Erniang rolled her eyes, and pulled the girl next to her to squeeze in.There could have been three people, but they were occupied by two of them.

There were not many people today, and seeing her acting like this, the others moved aside one after another.A large seat was left in the middle, and Meng Yuxuan sat in it.

The girl next to Hui Erniang is the sister-in-law she mentioned.Her name is Chen Moli, and she is the most beautiful girl in the village.No, it should be said that she used to be the most beautiful girl in the village.Ever since Meng Yuxuan came here, she has been completely inferior.This made Chen Moli, who had always been proud and arrogant, very angry.However, she never came forward to say anything about Meng Yuxuan's wrongdoing, and it was her sister-in-law who came forward.

"Sister-in-law, let me change with you! I haven't left the cabinet yet, so sitting with Xi Erniang like this may damage my reputation." Chen Moli said artificially.

"Okay. I'll change with you." Hui Erniang snorted coldly, and changed positions with Chen Moli.

Aunt Lin frowned, pulled Meng Yuxuan, and comforted her silently.

Meng Yuxuan was not quick to talk to them.Everyone is watching the situation here.She didn't say anything wrong, it was Hui Erniang and Chen Moli who bothered her all the time.

The weak are always pitiable.She didn't say anything, not because she was afraid of offending them, but because she didn't want to stink herself.Now that they stink of theirs, everyone knows who is right.

"Xi'erniang, how is Xi'er's father's injury?" The ox cart moved forward slowly, and the people sitting on it felt too bored, so they started to find something to talk about.

"It's okay." Meng Yuxuan silently memorized the names and identities of these people.If you want to live here, you can't really deal with the people in the village. "Thank you, aunt, for your concern. Aunt, did you buy these shoes yourself? Look at how delicate they are!"

"I did it myself. I don't have any other skills. We are a master at making shoes." The woman smiled and rolled her eyes. "Xi'erniang, do you know how to make shoes? After all, you come from a wealthy family, so your craftsmanship must be much better than those of us who can't make it to the stage."

"Auntie, please don't say that, it's embarrassing me. Although Yuxuan has stayed in the Li family since she was a child and learned some things in the Li family, she is not as good at making shoes as you are. A big family like the Li family is There is a sewing room. The maids there are responsible for the clothes, shoes and socks of the entire mansion. We are not from there, so we cannot learn their skills."

"A big family has a lot of rules. But their shoes and socks should look good, right?" The woman chatted with Meng Yuxuan, getting closer to her.

Meng Yuxuan smiled when she saw people, she had no airs, and it was easy for people to have a good impression.Plus beautiful people are always pleasing to look at.These women are all married, and they are somewhat repulsed by Meng Yuxuan's beauty, but they are easy to accept.After all, no matter how beautiful she is, it can't affect them.Only those young girls who are not married are easy to compare with Meng Yuxuan.

"Rich people pay more attention to the materials they use. They always buy the best goods from neighboring countries, and the colors are more colorful. But those shoes and socks look good, but they are not practical. Auntie's shoes are durable, cherish them If you use it, it should not be worn out this year. Of course, we can’t be more beautiful than the rich, but it’s better.” Meng Yuxuan didn’t say, “Auntie’s shoes are better than those of a rich family’s decent embroiderer” against her will talk.If she said that, everyone in the bullock cart would probably look down on her.

She not only praised the woman's craftsmanship, but also explained the characteristics of the rich family.There is no problem in spreading it like this.She didn't say anything wrong with the old master.

Meng Yuxuan can talk, everyone listens comfortably, and more and more people come into contact with her.Before arriving in the town, Hui Erniang and Chen Moli were the only ones in the ox cart who hadn't spoken to her.

"Here we are. Gather here in three hours." Wang Chengkui stopped the ox cart.

Meng Yuxuan got out of the car first, and when everyone else got off, she was about to carry the wild sheep, but Feng Er scrambled to carry it off.Seeing this, Wang Chengkui said, "Don't bother me. I'll help you to the restaurant."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Meng Yuxuan said gratefully.

"You're welcome. Boy Huan is a good person. You are his wife, and I will take care of you where I should take care of you." Wang Chengkui said.

"Since Uncle Wang wants to send you to the restaurant, my mother and I will leave first. If you have anything to do, you can go to the embroidery room to find us." Feng'er stroked her hair honestly and said.

Feng'er is not good-looking.She looks thin, but her features are very masculine.She didn't talk much along the way, and she took the initiative to do things when she was doing things, but she was a real person.

"Thank you, sister-in-law Feng'er." Meng Yuxuan nodded.

"Get things done early and wait for Uncle Wang. Don't wander around. Hey! Remember to wear a veil next time you go out." Aunt Lin shook her head and said.

Meng Yuxuan touched her face.Is her face so ostentatious?Can't it?There are many maids in the Li family, and her beauty can only be regarded as upper-middle-class, far from being a heartthrob.

Wang Chengkui sent Meng Yuxuan to the best restaurant in the town.This restaurant has a great reputation, and the shopkeeper is also a good person.Usually, if you have any good things, you send them here first, and if you don’t accept them here, you go to other places.Meng Yuxuan had dealt with the shopkeeper here, so the price was quickly negotiated.

On the market, a catty of mutton sells for [-] Wen, and a total of [-] catties of mutton sells for a tael of silver and [-] Wen.

"Shopkeeper, what kind of seeds are these?" Meng Yuxuan asked curiously when she found some seeds on the shopkeeper's table as she was about to leave the restaurant.

"Don't mention it. Last year we received a fan. That person had no money to pay the bill after eating, so he gave me the seeds he brought with him. I thought the things from the fan should be good, maybe I can bring them to the restaurant. Order fresh specialties. So I sent people to grow these things. Who would have thought that they would not grow at all." The shopkeeper said with a look of disappointment.

"Can you sell them to me? I'm also curious." Meng Yuxuan laughed.

"What are you selling? If you like it, you can take it! Anyway, I have completely given up." The shopkeeper waved his hand. "There are still a few bags in the backyard, I'll ask the guy to give them all to you."

"Thank you shopkeeper. Please don't refuse this little money!" Meng Yuxuan pushed five cents to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled, and took it casually: "You girl is quite thoughtful. Don't worry, since I gave it to you, even if you plant it, I won't snatch it."

With the shopkeeper's words, Meng Yuxuan was relieved.

Others can't grow it, but she can try it.She has space after all.

"If I really succeed, I will sell the item to the shopkeeper." Meng Yuxuan gave the shopkeeper a promise.

"Okay! If you can really grow it, I will take as much as you have." The shopkeeper and Meng Yuxuan reached a consensus.

After leaving the restaurant, Meng Yuxuan went to the pharmacy first, and spent two taels of silver to dispense medicine for Shangguanxi, and spent another tael of silver to dispense medicine for Shangguan Huan.So she only has [-] Wen in her hand.

She went to the grain store again and bought eight catties of rice and five catties of flour for one hundred Wen.This price is still a discount. If there is no discount, I'm afraid I can't buy so much flour.

Then go to the butcher shop to buy meat, go to the grocery store to buy condiments.After she bought all the things, she stopped when she passed the embroidery pavilion.

She hadn't lied to the woman just now, she had no talent for making shoes, but she was good at embroidery.The eldest lady of the Li family is picky, but she is satisfied with her embroidery work.Her embroidery skills are considered good in the Li family.Later, she was taught by a master embroidery master, and she went up to several levels in embroidery.Before her rebirth, her embroidery had already sold for sky-high prices.

Embroidery Pavilion, with all kinds of embroidery hanging on the wall.The biggest ones are screens and wedding dresses.Meng Yuxuan looked around, and found that the style was old-fashioned and the embroidery was lacking in aura, especially the mandarin duck eyes on the quilt cover were like dead fish eyes.

"Girl, what do you want to buy? Our embroidery is the best in the town, and the price is fair. If you buy it, you will never regret it." A woman dressed in a charming dress greeted her.

Meng Yuxuan looked around.The embroidery the woman was referring to was only average in Meng Yuxuan's eyes, but it was indeed the best in this town.

"Miss Boss, I want to do embroidery work. I don't know if you have any suitable ones here?" Meng Yuxuan looked at the woman, that is, Li Niang, the proprietress of the embroidery pavilion, and said.

Liniang saw that Meng Yuxuan was wearing silk and satin clothes, and the style of the clothes looked like a maid from a certain family.She dared not have any contempt.After all, these maids can sometimes make decisions on behalf of the master.

Li Niang was also an embroiderer when she was young, and she often went to rich and noble families, so she still had some insight.

"Do you want to be big or small? Thick or thin?" Liniang smiled enthusiastically as she wanted to make friends.
