farmer's husband

Chapter 148

The person who came to him this time was indeed the young master of the Kang family in the county. Kang Lin, who passed the Tongsheng exam with Chai Dong last year.

This year, he and Chai Dong went to the provincial capital to take the exam for scholar, but he failed.

They hadn't been in touch since they left at Kang's house last year.How could this person take the initiative to come to the door today?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Chun Zhi still warmly invited him to come in and sit down.

Kang Lin also came in generously.

"Master Chai, Mrs. Chai, I'm actually here to thank you this time." He cupped his hands and saluted Chai Dong and Chun Zhi, "My grandma likes the round fan that you entrusted someone to send to you a few days ago, and I have been holding it in my hand these days. I was reluctant to put it down, and put it next to the pillow when I slept at night. This way, the old man sleeps much better and is more energetic during the day. My parents are very happy about this, and this time they specially called me to thank you.”

"I don't need this one!" Chun Zhi laughed dryly after hearing this, "I just made that fan casually, and then gave it to Mrs. Chai as a thank you gift. It's also a little bit of help for your family to help my husband-in-law take the exam at the beginning of the year." repay."

That's right, back then she asked Chunlei to help make five round fans, four of which were sold to silk thread shops, and the only one left was embroidered with jujubes.After it was finished, she entrusted someone to take it to the county and handed it over to the old lady of Kangfu.This is regarded as a little compensation from her to the Kang family.Now thinking about the situation at the beginning of the year, when the couple came to the door with a handkerchief to beat the autumn wind, Chun Zhi couldn't help but blush. 20 taels of silver was really too much, she couldn't help feeling sorry for it, and always thought that she had to do something to make up for it.So when the round fan was made this time, she gave it to Mrs. Chai.

However, this time she didn't intend to ask for money!

Conlin nodded with a smile. "I understand. My grandma and parents also understand what you mean. However, it is rare that every time you send something that suits grandma's wishes. My parents are still very grateful to you. And now the aunts and sisters at home When we saw that fan, everyone liked it very much and wanted one. So now, besides coming to thank me, I am also shouldering the task they entrusted to me—please make more round fans for them Just have fun."

It turned out that his purpose was this!

Chunzhi quickly patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.What did she think he was here for!
"My embroidery skills are also average. Don't you have girls who are good at embroidery in your family? Why do you come here and ask me to do it?" But she was still a little puzzled.

"There are girls who can embroider well, but according to grandma, the vegetation they embroider can still be seen, but it's hard to say such living things as birds and cats. But the things you produce, those kittens are like living ones." It’s the same, so that people can almost take it seriously when they look at it from a distance! This is why you have a love for cats in your heart, and you inject spirituality into it, which is beyond the reach of other people’s embroidery work.” Kang Lin quickly said The old lady Kang told her exactly what she had said.

It turned out that in the eyes of Mrs. Kang, she was already so powerful!

Chun Zhi was in a good mood, she nodded cheerfully. "This is easy! I don't know what tricks they all like? You told me, I will do it when I have time!"

It seems that the eyes are bright. "Miss Chai talks so fast, I really admire you! If that's the case, then I won't talk nonsense with you."

He took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over. "Their preferences and requirements are already written on it, you just need to do what is written on it."

Chun Zhi took it and handed the things to Chai Dong. "Sir, read it to me at night, I don't know myself."

"Okay." Chai Dong conveniently put away the paper.

Kang Lin winked at the boy again, and the boy came over with a red paper bag in both hands.

"This is for your hard work, Mrs. Chai," he said.

"Ah? There's no need for this!" Chun Zhi quickly waved his hand.

That mere round fan couldn't be sold for 20 taels in the first place, and she was still thinking about how to get 20 taels of silver for their family!As a result, now, Kang Lin took the initiative to send her work.Chunzhi had already made up his mind to use these round fans to offset the money.That being the case, how could she collect money?

When Kang Lin saw this, he looked solemn: "This is necessary! Before I came here, I went to the silk thread shop in the county to check. There was a round fan, which was very similar to the one my grandma was holding. The cat is alive and well, and there is a price tag of [-] yuan in the shop! And the things were bought by people not long after they were put on display. Others wanted to buy them, but they were told that the person who made this round fan has limited energy, and it takes a month I can only make one at most, so the price is extremely high. When other people heard about it, they all gave him a deposit and asked him to help keep the tuanfan for the next few months. When I left, they had already booked to go to next year!"

"Good things are worth a high price. What's more, now that we are asking you to customize it, the price will inevitably increase several times. It is not too much for you to charge a tael of silver. This is what you earn from your own labor. It should be." Kang Lin spoke righteously, and finally took the red paper bag and handed it to her, "I also ask Mrs. Chai to accept it with a smile, and don't refuse."

This scholar can also speak.Chun Zhi couldn't find words to refute what he said.

She hurriedly turned her head to look at Chai Dong, only to see Chai Dong nodding her head: "You deserve this, you can accept it! As long as they are satisfied with what they made later, then their money will be worth paying. As for the former It's all in the past, don't need to mention it again."

The "before incident" in his mouth, of course, is the incident of two people holding handkerchiefs and going to Kang's mansion to play the autumn wind.

When Kang Lin heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Although he is not used to Chun Zhi's obsequious appearance now, it seems that he has a debt of 20 taels of silver and must pay it off quickly.Since her mother gave the money back, she did so willingly, and she didn't expect any more compensation from them.

However, he is even more displeased with someone like Chai Dong who directly collected the money without showing any gratitude until now.

"Young Master Chai really has a chest, he doesn't care about trifles!" He satirized him coldly.

Chai Dong smiled lightly. "Thank you for the compliment."

Kang Lin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

This brat is really shameless!He can be regarded as understanding why this person has such a shame to play autumn wind on their house!Fortunately, he still regarded him as an upright gentleman with a good character at the beginning!He missed it!
Chun Zhi has always listened to Chai Dong's words.Since Chai Dong said that she could accept the money, she happily accepted it.

Weighing the weight of the red paper bag, the silver inside weighed at least ten taels, she was immediately overjoyed.

This can be considered a windfall, right?Originally thought that her second attempt had also failed, but who knew, she made compensation unintentionally, and ended up getting herself such a large sum of money in exchange for it!

Ten taels of silver, if they make the round fan for five cents a piece for the silk thread shop in the town, how many years will it take to get so much money?
She is completely balanced now.

It's just that they are happy, but Kang Lin is already so angry that he can't stand still because of Chai Dong's stinking shamelessness.

No, he has to go to Wang Zongping quickly and complain about this person to him!Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to utter this tone!
So, he hurriedly cupped his hands at Chun Zhi. "Since the matter is finished, I will not bother you any more, and I will take my leave."

"Young Master Kang, go slowly!" Chun Zhi hurriedly waved to him cheerfully.

As soon as Kang Lin finished speaking, he turned around and strode out the door.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the door, and turned around after a while. "He went to find that kid Wang Zongping."

"He had a good relationship with Wang Zongping in the first place. This time, he probably came here with the intention of meeting Wang Zongping." Chunzhi said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang didn't say much, she just stretched her hand towards Chun Zhi. "Give me the money."

Chunzhi handed in honestly. "But mother, I will definitely need the help of my natal brothers and sisters to make the round fan. That..."

"Understood, I will pay for their hard work! This time, it's okay to give each of them two pennies, right?" Mrs. Wang replied angrily.

Chun Zhi smiled happily. "Okay, okay, thank you mother!"

Wang frowned again, and quickly went back to the room to hide the money like a treasure.

Chunzhi couldn't be happier.She turned back and took Chai Dong's hand again. "Sir, is this what you said that you can get it without any effort? This is the money delivered to your door! No, since they gave me such a high price, then I must do it well. , give them the best things! Well, if they take it out, show it to others, and others like it, and let me do it, then we can make more money! Don’t you think so?”

"Yes." Chai Dong nodded, but frowned, "Kang Lin didn't tell the truth just now."

"Huh? He didn't tell the truth?" Chun Zhi thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

Chai Dong looked down at her. "The round fan he said earlier that sold for [-] yuan should be made by you."
