The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 60

Changes in imperial power are often bloody and tearful, and An Huaiyuan, who survived to protect the eleventh prince, is considered lucky.

The new emperor did not massacre the former emperor's old ministers, and he also allowed An Huaiyuan to retire from his old age.So he naturally didn't dare to stay in the capital anymore, and almost fled out of the capital in a hurry and returned to Ping County.

After a few days of fearful days with his tail between his legs, he found that no one in Beijing was staring at him anymore.I can't help feeling that the new emperor is open-minded, governing the world with benevolence, and pushing himself to be human.Although he won the throne with thunderous means, he didn't use killing to poison others. Only this is much better than the first emperor!

After thinking about it, An Huaiyuan opened the academy again, just wanting to teach a few more talented students to serve the court, which can be regarded as a repayment for His Majesty's kindness of not killing.Min Lansheng is the most outstanding among his students.

"The shopkeeper, the scholar lady said that there are three hundred eggs in this batch." The shopkeeper bent over and approached shopkeeper Li.

"Well, got it." Waving his hand, he signaled the waiter to leave. Shopkeeper Li raised his head and closed his eyes to calculate the amount of silver, then took out a cloth bag from his arms, took out two pieces of silver and put them away, holding the small cloth bag with both hands To Min Lansheng: "Three hundred eggs, one piece of nine coins, here is exactly two twenty-seven coins, Mr. Min, please keep it!"

Min Lansheng quickly waved his hands, shook his head and said, "Lansheng is really not good at such things as housekeeping and calculations. All the arrangements in the family are made by me, so I can take it easy..."

Since the lady deliberately separates his identity from the merchant, the scholar will naturally not go to the "trivial matter" of breaking an egg and a few pennies with the shopkeeper.This is a matter of status, and it cannot be sloppy.

"Oh!" Shopkeeper Li nodded like a woodpecker, then turned around and handed the money to Su Xiazhi: "The reception in Jufulou was not good last time, another day, another day, invite the virtuous couple to sit with me, and let me I will prepare some wine and food for you to apologize!"

Shopkeeper Li is a businessman, and he speaks politely and humbly when facing scholars.Su Xiazhi wouldn't just believe it.

She also took the cloth bag with both hands without even looking at it, Miss Su smiled innocently: "Look at what you said, what apology, when the time is right, when you are not busy, our husband and wife will definitely bother you! "

People don't count the eggs, it's because of Min Lansheng's face.Miss Su didn't even look at the silver taels in the bag, because she didn't want to lose face to her husband-in-law.She knew very well in her heart that shopkeeper Li couldn't do it if she was greedy for her few pennies.

"Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea." Min Lansheng was delighted by the fool's behavior. He didn't expect the cooperation between the husband and wife to be so tacit, so he couldn't help but look at her with a little complacency, and then politely said to shopkeeper Li.

drink tea?Almost all the money in the family was used to save eggs and buy salt and shochu. It turned out that half a tael of tea was stolen from my sister-in-law's house and I drank it long ago. What do I use to make tea now?Miss Su rolled her eyes at the nonchalant husband, and replied in a very enthusiastic tone: "Then shopkeeper Li, please sit in the room first, and I will go to the mountain to chop firewood and boil water. It will be very fast. How can it be so long? I have to greet you for a cup of tea before leaving!"

As she said that, she hurried towards the broken knife standing in the corner, presumably she was going to use it to cut firewood on the mountain.

"Don't be too busy!" Shopkeeper Li hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "I came in a hurry, and I have to go back before noon. I just wanted to see where the eggs were pickled, and now it's time to say goodbye."

In order to drink a cup of tea, he had to wait for the firewood to be chopped, and shopkeeper Li couldn't afford to wait.He looked into the kitchen just now, and it was true that there was not much firewood by the stove, so he didn't think about it.Now that I have chatted with Xiucai and picked up the eggs, it is time to say goodbye.

Hearing that someone had something to do, Min Lansheng no longer pretended to be polite, and followed shopkeeper Li out of the yard. The carriage parked at the door was surrounded by many people from the mountain village.

Shanxia Village is next to the mountain, and most of the farmers in the village have enough food and clothing to live. It is rare to see a set of carts coming in in the village, let alone the carriage in front of Xiucai's house.

"From the Xiucai family, just now the young man said that you made these pickled eggs and sold them to Ping County?" Aunt Six, who just likes to inquire about gossip, couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Auntie also You know how to pickle eggs, why don't you talk to the shopkeeper and buy a few eggs from my aunt."

"Sixth Aunt, do you still have the time to pickle eggs?" Su Xiazhi, who followed Li shopkeeper and Min Lansheng out of the yard, smiled at the woman who spoke: "All the patients in a village go to Sixth Uncle for treatment. It's enough to be busy with Uncle's help..."

Aunt Six had a big mouth and small eyes, and she looked like she was eating everything. Her house was diagonally opposite the Min's house, and the two houses were only separated by a street.Before Su Xiazhi entered the door, she was a little scared when she saw the scholar going in and out alone.

As for why she was afraid, she couldn't tell.I always feel that the scholar knows all about the tricks and abductions my old man has done.Uncle Six also told her in private: the young man at the opposite door has poisonous eyes, you should carry him behind you when you are grinning outside.

Now that she listened to Su Xiazhi's Pian'ertang talk, she obviously didn't want to help her talk to the big shopkeeper from the county town. Standing on the steps, the scholar who was as cold as the orchid and jade tree was looking at her indifferently, and she felt that she was half short, so she shut her mouth and dared not speak anymore.

The old and young women who watched the excitement nearby and also had some thoughts in their hearts were stunned when they saw Aunt Six who was the first to speak, so they all consciously silenced and continued to look around the carriage.

"Stay, stay!" Walking a few steps to the carriage, the waiter had already closed the curtain and waited for shopkeeper Li to get on the carriage. He hurriedly said goodbye to Min Lansheng: "We must go to Jufulou for a ride some other day."

Min Lansheng nodded with a chuckle, walked down the steps slowly, turned around and looked at the lady who had already put on the pannier: "It's just right, we sent shopkeeper Li out of the village, and we also went to town."

"Mr. Min is going out too?" Shopkeeper Li, who was about to get into the car after raising his leg, couldn't help but push Min Lansheng's arm with both hands and pushed into the car: "It's on the way."

"The road is not very far. My husband and I can walk. Don't delay your business." Min Lansheng declined politely, and got into the car with one foot, and then stretched out his hand to Su Xiazhi who was standing under the car and grabbed her. Pulling it up, he shook his head helplessly: "Just go to the town and put us down."

Anyway, it's on the way, and the two of Dora are nothing.What's more, shopkeeper Li is very willing to get close to Min Xiucai. His youngest son has also reached the age of Kaimeng, and he will study in other private schools for a few years. to study.
