The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 52

Yingniang slept until dawn, and when she opened her eyes, she found that Birming's bright eyes were staring at her.

Yingniang was very unconfident about her sleeping appearance, she immediately blushed, "Why are you staring at me like this, how long have you been staring at me?"

Bo Ming smiled wryly and said, "I guess it's been more than an hour."

"Ah?" Ying Niang sat up suddenly, "Such a comfortable bed, such a soft quilt, if you don't sleep well, why are you looking at me?"

Boming sighed: "Maybe I was born with mud legs in the country. Sleeping on such a bed feels light and unsteady, so I woke up early."

Yingniang couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, "You really don't know how to enjoy life, you are poor. My sleeping position...is it unsightly?"

Bo Ming shook his head, "It's not indecent at all, it's just a smile on your face all the time, dreaming big dreams, and I heard you talking in your sleep."

Yingniang knew that she had the problem of talking in her sleep, but now she couldn't remember what dream she had, "What did I talk in my sleep? Could it be that I found money and smiled happily?"

Boming laughed, "You don't dream of picking up money, but dream of making a lot of money. You say, 'Oh my God, how can you spend all of the money you made in one go? There are so many sacks, you can't even count them!'" '" He imitated Yingniang's tone, but Yingniang was amused.

Yingniang thought about it carefully, and it seemed that she really dreamed that she had earned a lot of money, and there were several sacks of copper coins in total, and then she and Bo Ming pulled it in a bullock cart to exchange for the vain silver.

Boming laughed at her, "You really are a little money fanatic, you actually put money in big bags, it's a shame you figured it out."

Yingniang giggled while putting on her clothes, "Think about it every day, and dream about it at night. Aunt Yao's troubles are solved, and I'll start thinking about earning money."

Bo Ming reminded: "It's better for us to go out less these two days. That Yen Zicha may also stay in Wuzhou and hasn't returned home in time. It would be bad if he ran into us."

Yingniang has already considered this point, she got out of bed, sat in front of the dressing table, brushed her hair and said, "I know I can't go out easily, the hair flowers brought from home let Aunt Yao find someone from the house to go In exchange for money, just get some silk materials. As for the work, let’s ask Aunt Yao, she is much more familiar with Wuzhou than we are, and she also knows better than us about what’s popular in the market and what sells well. "

After she finished speaking, she waved to Boming, "Come here, this mirror is really big enough, you can take a picture too."

Bo Ming came over and stood behind her, looking at the pair in the mirror, he said with emotion on the spur of the moment: "It is said that Mr. Yue will never make a wrong line. This seems to be true. You see , we're a pretty good match, aren't we?"

Ying Niang joked: "If you want to be a good match with me, wait until your gauze is removed."

"It's just like that if you don't fit well, you said yesterday that you want to stick to it, anyway, you can't change it anymore." Birming said proudly.

Ying Niang smiled and pouted: "If you arrange it temporarily, you should take it seriously!"

"Hey, a young couple is flirting here!" Aunt Yao walked in with a smile, followed by two maids, one carrying a basin full of water, the other carrying a large tray , with various side dishes and two large bowls of porridge, as well as white noodles and exquisite pastries.

Aunt Yao personally prepared breakfast for the two of them, "These belong to both of you, and I have already eaten them. Because I have to watch the four children study early in the morning, and then eat with them, so I didn't wait until this hour Come with you, don't take offense."

After hearing this, Yingniang felt that Aunt Yao was really working hard. It wasn't long before she was born, and she had already been busy with the children for a long time.After the two servant girls had gone out, Yingniang asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement in your stomach?"

Aunt Yao blushed, "No, I've only been married for more than three months, how can it be so fast. You guys wash up and come over to eat, it won't taste good if it gets cold. I'll go see if the teacher has come to give me some food. The kids are in class, come back later."

"Well, hurry up and get busy." Yingniang looked at Aunt Yao and it was really not easy. She hadn't given birth to a child yet, but she wanted to be the mother of four children.

After breakfast, Yingniang stared blankly at the two sweaters she brought, wondering whether such sweaters could be sold.

At first, Birming thought she was bringing them to wear. Seeing her staring at her like this, and touching her hands over and over from time to time, he finally realized, "You don't want to knit this kind of yarn for sale, do you?"

Yingniang nodded, "The shopkeeper who received the hair flowers gave me a lot less silk material last time. He said that although there are many merchants from other places who come here to buy goods, it is not so easy to sell too much. Now Both Zhaodi and I stayed at home, and it’s too free to just make those nodding flowers, if only we could make money by weaving clothes, it’s not tiring anyway.”

At this time, Aunt Yao came in again, and Ying Niang showed her the thread clothes, "Aunt Yao, if you saw such clothes in the shop, would you buy them? You try them on, they are warm. It's also very comfortable."

Although Aunt Yao is well-informed, she has never seen such a sweater. She took the sweater and gestured on her body, "It looks really good! I'll go to the back room and try it on."

When she came out wearing Yingniang's purple sweater, Yingniang's eyes really brightened, especially when Aunt Yao exposed the collar of her white undershirt, and underneath was a gauze pleated white skirt. It looks elegant and generous, with some soft taste.

Yingniang pulled her to the mirror, "Look, it's so beautiful! I knitted this for myself, why do you fit me better than me!"

Aunt Yao looked at herself in the mirror, and she was really satisfied, "Your hand is so skillful that you can weave such a thread. I have seen someone weave a shawl, and a piece sold for hundreds of dollars! If you weave such a thread Clothes can sell at least three or four hundred yuan a piece."

Ying Niang jumped up and said: "Really? But... will there be no market for the price? It is so expensive that not many people can afford it."

Aunt Yao nodded and said, "It's true that only wealthy people can afford it, but if it's sold cheap, you won't be able to earn a lot of money. It will take you quite a while to weave such a thing, right?"

"It takes seven or eight days to weave one piece. As long as it can sell for two hundred wen, I think it is a high price. After deducting the cost of materials, one piece can earn 140 five yuan, which is equivalent to twenty yuan a day's wages. Although it is not as good as I am in The weaving workshop earns more, but it is much more than the men who work as part-time workers in the Zhen family, I am just worried that there is no shop willing to accept such goods."

Aunt Yao took a closer look at the sweater on her body, "This kind of clothes can be loose or tight, even fat and thin people can wear them, and they are also warm and comfortable. As long as they know the benefits of it, rich people will definitely buy it. Everyone likes to wear something new in the new year. After you get home, weave a few more and send them to me. The sisters who went out of the palace with me will definitely be willing to ask for them. They usually make friends with wealthy people How can people not be greedy when they see how well dressed they are? When the time comes, I will find a shop that rich and noble people usually go to, and sell the thread clothes there, and I should not worry about not being able to sell them."

Yingniang was ready to move when she heard this, "Okay, I'll knit when I get back! It's just that I don't dare to go out to buy yarn and cotton thread now."

Aunt Yao smiled, "You can't go out now, but I can go out for a while. Even if Zhen Zicha saw me, he wouldn't dare to do anything. He was frightened by Li Changan. As long as he didn't know it was You are a ghost, he probably has to hide away when he sees me."

Yingniang was still a little worried, "What if the surname Zhen eats leopard guts, or just ask people in your house to help buy it."

"I'm going out with my servants and maids. I'm not afraid, unless he really wants to be ginsenged in his family. I can rest assured that I choose the ingredients myself. The servants don't understand this, and they won't pick good-looking ones at all. I just want to Let someone ask if he has left Wuzhou. I heard that rich people like to live in Jingui Inn. After they leave, I will let you go home. Otherwise, he will know something and attack your family again. My The sin is great."

Yingniang felt that Aunt Yao was very considerate, so she listened to her.Seeing that Aunt Yao was about to take off the sweater, she hurriedly said: "Don't take it off, just wear it like this, you are more suitable for this than me, so I will give it to you."

Aunt Yao knew that even if she refused, she could not be rejected, so she happily accepted. She thought in her heart that when Yingniang left, she couldn't let Yingniang and Boming suffer.They live a small life in a farm family, and there are a bunch of younger brothers in the family. Unlike her, they never worry about food and clothing.Although Li Changan took her very seriously, she still let her spend the money.In fact, with the money she had saved before, it was enough for her to spend her whole life.

Aunt Yao left the mansion with a few servants and maidservants, but they came back after leaving the house for more than an hour.

Aunt Yao has a good eye, and the yarns and cotton threads she chooses are all high-quality, and the colors are also in line with the tastes of wealthy families.She also told Yingniang the good news that Yen Zicha checked out of the room this morning and left Wuzhou. "You can take Birming around Wuzhou now. Birming is nesting here. I feel very uncomfortable looking at him."

These words really touched Bo Ming's heart, but he didn't want to visit Wuzhou for novelty and fun, he still had one thing in his heart.

In the afternoon, Yingniang and Birming went shopping.Seeing that Boming was looking for something seriously, Yingniang wondered, "What are you looking for?"

Bo Ming shook his head, "I don't want to buy anything, I just look around."

At this time, he suddenly saw the shop where he wanted to buy things, and hurriedly said to Yingniang: "You wait here, I will come as soon as I go."

Although Yingniang was curious, she was not in a hurry to ask, she would know when he bought it back.She leisurely looked at the stalls selling gadgets as she passed by, and when she saw one selling cotton gloves, she bought a pair for Birming.At first she wanted to knit a pair of thread gloves for him when she got home, but she thought that his palm would be injured like that, and he would have to drive home tomorrow, so she couldn't buy it just to save some money and make Birming suffer. .

After buying something, Bo Ming carried it carefully in his bosom, and then went to the side to buy a bunch of candied haws before coming to Yingniang's side.

When Yingniang saw the candied haws, she couldn't help laughing, "You just looked left and right just to buy candied haws?"

Bo Ming smiled mysteriously: "Why, can't you? You don't like candied haws?"

Yingniang took it and immediately took a bite, "I love it so much, why did you only buy one bunch?"

"I don't like sweet food. Look, it's full of sugar." In fact, Birming not only doesn't like sweet food, he has never eaten candied haws at all.

Yingniang guessed that he had never eaten it, and wanted to tease him, so she asked in surprise, "Don't you know that candied haws are actually spicy! Its name and taste don't match."

"Spicy?" Birming was dubious.Yingniang stuffed candied haws into his mouth, insisting that he bite off one.

As soon as Bo Ming took a bite, he knew immediately that he had been fooled, "It's sour and sweet, why is it spicy?"

Yingniang couldn't breathe with a smile, "You big bumpkin, you haven't even eaten candied haws, you believe it's spicy."

Birming stared at her angrily, "You are not allowed to play with me like this in the future."

The two of them wandered around Wuzhou for a whole afternoon before returning to Li's Mansion. After dinner in the evening, they began to pack up their luggage and the silk and thread materials they bought, and planned to rush home early the next morning. .

In the evening, Aunt Yao came over to talk to Yingniang, and while the two of them were not paying attention, she stuffed a small purse of broken silver into their bags.

She also knew that there was no shop for exchanging money in Yongzhen, and everyone was spending copper coins, and the money couldn't be bought in Yongzhen.But it's inconvenient for her to secretly put a few large strings of copper plates in the bag, because the copper plates take up too much space and they will jingle, and Yingniang will definitely not accept them if they make too much noise.

Aunt Yao thought that Boming's third younger brother, Shuchang, was going to get married next year, and it would be very respectable in the countryside to take broken silver as a bride price, and Qian Xiucai would not make things difficult for Shuchang.

In fact, she really wanted to give Yingniang more money, so that Yingniang would not have to worry about how to make money.But she also knows that Yingniang's temperament is definitely the kind that refuses to accept others' favors in vain, and has to spend the money she earns to be at ease.

Aunt Yao talked with Yingniang for a while before leaving.Yingniang and Boming thought about the hard work tomorrow, so they took a rest early.

When Yingniang woke up, she found that Bo Ming was looking at her with his eyes open again.Yingniang expressed her panic, "Boming, if you keep doing this, I won't dare to sleep in the future. If you keep peeping at my sleeping appearance like this, you will get a needle's eye!"

Birming sneered, "I'm not peeping at your sleeping face, I just woke up. I want to wait for you to see me the first moment you open your eyes, and then hear me say 'birthday' to you." Fule, a hundred years of happiness, a lifetime of peace and health!'”

Ying Niang blinked her eyes, a little dazed, today is her birthday?She really didn't remember very clearly, she only had a deep memory of her birthday in her previous life.Thinking that she has only turned 16 today makes her feel a little unbelievable, and she often forgets her age.

At this time, Bo Ming took out a silver bracelet from under the pillow and put it on Yingniang's wrist.

Ying Niang said anxiously: "Wait! Where did this come from?"

Bo Ming smiled happily, "I bought it yesterday afternoon. You married me without even a pair of jewelry on your body. How outrageous."

Bo Ming carefully put it on for her, "Look, how beautiful it is, the silver-white bracelet fits your white and tender wrist very well."

Only then did Yingniang realize that Bo Ming was not just buying candied haws for her.She looked at her wrist, although it had become whiter in the past few months, it was far from tender. Birming's mouth is really deceptive!

She looked at the silver bracelet engraved with peonies, which was pretty pretty. Although she felt that this kind of bracelet was a little old-fashioned from her aesthetic point of view, it was probably very good in this ancient time.

"How much does this silver bracelet cost?" Yingniang felt distressed at the thought of spending money.

"It only weighs fifteen baht, and it's less than seven hundred Wen. You can't feel sorry for money. You earn so much money, it's not too much to give you things." (One tael of silver is equal to 24 baht, one baht That’s a little over two grams today.)
Yingniang touched it distressedly, "Six or seven hundred Wen, it's really expensive! It's worth more than 100 catties of soybeans!"

Bo Ming was not happy, "Don't mention money anymore. If you mention it again, I will use all the money I brought to buy you jewelry, silver hairpins, silver earrings, and..."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, don't buy it again, it will ruin your family." It cost almost [-] Wen, this is the first time Yingniang has worn such a valuable thing since she came to this ancient time.

Bo Ming didn't seem to feel distressed at all, and was very happy, "How can we go bankrupt, our family has saved thousands of dollars!"

"Thousands of pennies can't afford you to spend so much!" Yingniang looked at the silver bracelet carefully, and suddenly wondered, "You didn't let me go into the shop with you to try it on, why did you buy it so well? Just right up."

Boming was very proud, "I know you well, can I not know the size of your wrist?" In fact, he secretly wrapped a thin rope around Yingniang's wrist yesterday when she was asleep, and then took it with him. Just use the string to compare and buy.

Yingniang believed it stupidly, "Your eyes are so accurate? Could it be that you also know how thick my waist is, and this chest..." She almost said how big her chest was.

Birming threw himself on her body, lifted her underwear and watched, "Let me take another look and remember."

"You..." Yingniang quickly tucked into the corner of her clothes, "Don't look!"

However, Boming didn't obey her at all, he came to untie her button with both hands, he not only wanted to see, but also wanted to see for real.
