The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 66 The Flower Matchmaker

Yao Chang has seen horses a few times, but he has never ridden one, and now he will touch them curiously, he can't tell if the horse is good or bad, but he can still tell if the appearance is good or bad, "This horse is so beautiful. "

"Isn't that right, Brother Zhimo, how much did you pay for this horse?" A group of people gathered together and chattered.

Xie Zhimo smiled and said, "More than 80 taels of silver." He himself was reluctant, mainly because Yao Yu was on the side, so he decided to buy it all at once.

When the crowd heard that the horse cost more than 80 taels, they gasped, "It's so expensive!"

But Zhang Dehou said, "It's worth the price." I have to say that his savings over the years are already enough to buy a horse, especially after seeing Xie Zhimo's fine horse today, he decided to wait for Yao Chang's house to be built before going to Jiangxi to buy a horse. State to buy one.

Nuo'er heard the voice and knew that Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo had returned. She ran outside and saw a red horse. She ran over immediately and asked curiously, "Father, can I touch it?"

Xie Zhimo said, "Yes." The horse has been tamed, so he is not worried about hurting Nuo'er.

Nuo'er touched it curiously for a long time, "Father, can I take a carriage?"

Xie Zhimo reported Nuo'er to the carriage, "Of course, sit down, we are ready to go."

Nuo'er sat on the carriage and shouted, "Let's go, drive, drive, drive!"

Xie Zhimo just took Nuoer around the east side of Shuangshui Village, and didn't dare to run in the village in a high-profile way, but even so, he was seen by some villagers. In less than a day, everyone knew that Xie Zhimo's family bought a carriage up.

"Have you heard? The third son of the Xie family bought a carriage!"

"That's right! That's a carriage, at least it's a few dozen taels."

"Didn't you give Xie's second child 300 taels of silver before? I didn't expect them to still have money!"

"That's not because of marrying a good wife, her family is strong."

"Isn't that right? You see, after Xie Nuo was kidnapped, Yao's brother bought a piece of land directly under their house, and construction started."

"That's right, I'm going to pay them to buy a carriage again right now, tsk tsk tsk, it's nice to have such a brother-in-law."

It has to be said that people's imagination is huge, and these logics seem wrong after a little thought. If Yao Yu really had a huge family, then he wouldn't have found a ghost marriage for Yao Yu just because of money.

The person involved, Yao Yu, is on his way to Wang Fengzhen's house. As soon as he entered the door, Yao Yu was shocked. Unexpectedly, in just two days, Wang Fengzhen's small room was full of people. Leading to another room, "A lot of people have come to make clothes these days, and I think the female celebrities are good, so they all stay." Of course, at the beginning, they can only make lower quality ones, and Wang Fengzhen who is a female celebrity will give them to them. Six hundred wen a piece of cloth.

"I made a total of [-] sets in two days, and I checked them carefully." Wang Fengzhen handed the clothes to Yao Yu.

Yao Yu took the clothes and handed Wang Fengzhen five taels of silver, "It was said that the goods were delivered once every three days, but I may come once every other day, so I have worked hard for you these few days." Before selling the down jacket, Yao Yu I was ready to sell it, but I didn't expect that the ability of the ancients to accept new things was not bad.

Wang Fengzhen was about to ask Yao Yu for money, but Yao Yu stopped her, "The money is for you, so don't look for it."

Wang Fengzhen waved her hand, "How could I have done so much?" The amount of money was one tael of silver, or ten sets of clothes.

"I took a look, there are so many people here today, sister Fengzhen must guide them to do it, in this case, you will have no time to do it yourself, so this money is also wages, it is your wages for helping me train these personnel. " Yao Yu said.

Wang Fengzhen didn't expect Yao Yu to be able to see so clearly, and she felt a little complicated for a while, and had to admit that sometimes she was a little irritable when teaching when there were too many people, because when she wanted to teach her, she had to stop what she was doing. , although in the end he will still be patient, "I can't take this, I heard that my sister's family bought a horse, and the money must be running out."

Yao Yu shook her head, "Don't worry, these few taels of silver are still affordable, I have to rush back to eat, and leave the matter of clothes to Sister Fengzhen." Yao Yu said and was about to leave.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job." After this incident, Wang Fengzhen completely regarded Yao Yu as a confidant, and could even say that she took Yao Yu's affairs as her own.Wang Fengzhen sent Yao Yu outside the door, calmed down her emotions, and went back to the house and said, "Sister Yao brought her wages again."

The people present immediately stopped what they were doing, and they all said that Yao Yu paid her wages in a timely manner, and as long as you do it well, you will not lose a penny. I didn't expect it to come so soon, Wang Fengzhen said, "Sister Yao trusts you so much." We, we have to repay her in the same way, you continue to make clothes carefully, and I will pay your wages one by one."

Yao Yu put his clothes in his room when he got home, and started to prepare dinner. Seeing that it was almost the twelfth lunar month, he had to prepare the New Year's goods. When he went to Jiangzhou the next day, he had a look. Shi also prepared one for him. Yao Yu planned while preparing dinner. This year will definitely be lively. Besides their family of three, there are also Mr. Ji and Yao Chang.

After dinner, Yao Yu began to stuff duck down into his clothes. Forty sets of clothes still took a lot of time, but someone came to Yao Yu early in the morning, and the person who came was the well-known matchmaker from Shuangshui Village.

Yao Yu didn't have a good impression of her. After all, she made a lot of sarcastic remarks about Xie Xiuhong's marriage back then. Yao Yu remembered it clearly. , it is better to separate them as soon as possible, Xiuhong's marriage is a matter, and the future of your fourth child cannot be ignored!"

Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to find her today. Yao Yu didn't look very happy. The matchmaker twisted her fat waist and walked into the room, "Oh, sister, I'm that flower matchmaker."

Yao Yu didn't invite Lao Shizi's flower matchmaker to sit down, but said coldly, "It seems that you have come to the wrong place. Zhimo and I are both married, and Nuoer is only four years old now, so he hasn't reached the age of marriage yet."

The flower matchmaker is a popular host wherever she goes. I didn't expect that she would be so unpopular when she came to Yao Yu's house today. She couldn't help her face at the moment, but when she thought of the money given by the woman after this matter was completed, the flower matchmaker immediately changed to another one. With a flattering smile, "Sister, I'm here because of another person."

Yao Yu didn't talk to her, she hated this kind of guesswork that made her guess. If there is something to say, it's fine, it has to be so obscene, they are not tired, she is tired!
Seeing that Yao Yu ignored her, the flower matchmaker said angrily, "I'm here for your second brother's marriage."

Of course, Yao Yu didn't think his second brother was so attractive. Just seeing him once could make someone marry him. Moreover, many people in Shuangshui Village had never met his second brother. Those who went with the money, Yao Yu also knew about the rumors in the village that Yao Chang gave 300 taels of silver to rescue Nuoer, sold the land to build a house, and now bought horses for Xie Zhimo, "Well, then you I have to talk to my second brother, but my second brother is busy recently and doesn't have time."

The flower matchmaker went to see it when she came. Yao Chang was building a house, and there were a lot of men there. Although she was married, there were so many men. After all, it was not good for her to go. You need to find out clearly, for example, what kind of woman Yao Chang likes, and when she introduces her, she will say that the other party's woman is exactly like this, won't it be possible?

It's just that Yao Yu didn't expect that Yao Yu didn't give the flower matchmaker any face at all, and just drove her away.The flower matchmaker has never been neglected so much since she became a matchmaker, "Hmph, what's the big deal, offended my flower matchmaker, let me see what will happen to your second brother's marriage."

Seeing that the flower matchmaker was still trying to threaten him, Yao Yu's tone became even worse, "I'm sorry, but I really don't plan to rely on you for my second brother's marriage. You always walk slowly and don't send it off."

The flower matchmaker twisted her waist angrily and went out. When she reached the door, she didn't forget to turn around and shout, "Let's wait and see."

After seeing off the flower matchmaker, Yao Yu continued to go back to the room to make duck down jackets. It was a waste of time. Next time, Yao Yu decided to throw people out of the house with a stick. Yao Yu didn't finish all the down jackets until it was getting dark. .

When he went to Jiangzhou again, Yao Yu rented a stall for another ten days, and Yao Yu's down jackets were well-known in Jiangzhou, and sometimes they were sold out as soon as Yao Yu put them on display.It is said that it was because the maid of a large family in Jiangzhou bought one and was taken aback by the master, and it became popular all of a sudden, but there were indeed many people who bought several at once, but Yao Yu didn't think that those rich and noble families would look at it. deserve a dress like this.

25 bolts of cloth. In the end, a total of [-] sets of clothes were made, fifty of which were [-]-wen cloth. Yao Yu kept fifteen sets of duck down jackets made of [-]-wen cloth for the three members of the family plus Yao Chang and Mr. Ji had three sets for each person, and the rest were all sold.

The total income was 170 taels, Yao Yu gave Wang Fengzhen 40 taels of silver, and after deducting the money for collecting duck feathers, Yao Yu made a lot of money from this single business.

The carriage is much bigger than the ox cart. Yao Yu took the money and followed Xie Zhimo to buy new year's goods. First, he went to the vegetable market and bought ten chickens. Yao Yu planned to keep them if he couldn't finish them. As for fish, he could fish in the river. Yao Yu planned to buy pork, but Xie Zhimo said that he would take advantage of these few days and go to the mountains to have a look. If he really didn't catch any hunting, he would come to Jiangzhou to buy it.
