Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 3 You Are My Lucky Star
The Lu family finally wanted to see each other poorly, so if they divorced, they would divorce. Wang Xiu tore up the engagement letter of both parties, which aroused Wang Cheng's fury, but fortunately, Mrs. Xie persuaded her.

"Father, we can't compete with the Lu family, let's see how much these betrothal gifts are worth."

Seeing his son's indifferent appearance, Wang Cheng smiled wryly and couldn't touch him. His son was obsessed with the fifth sister of the Lu family.

"Officer, since the eldest brother doesn't care, I will retire."

"Is Brother Wang here?"

Just as he was talking, there was a crisp sound from outside, Wang Xiu turned around and saw that Youqin and Moyan brought in a black lacquered bamboo basket, he was really good at timing.

Wang Cheng was surprised, the Lu family had just divorced and just left, why the sister of Widow Li's family came over, he also had to look at Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu was aggrieved, and people wondered if there was something wrong, and he still couldn't explain clearly. When Youqin Moyan arrived at the door, he saw the two elders, and hurriedly blessed him, saying: "Uncle, aunt, I'm so polite. My mother did it." I ordered the steamed goose and asked my servant to send half of it." As he spoke, he put the bamboo basket on the table,

"Miss Li is too irritating, how can you be so embarrassing!" With a smile on her face, Mrs. Xie took Youqin Moyan's plain hand, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, you are getting more and more handsome."

Youqin Mo Yan blushed and said in a low voice, "Ma'am."

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Xie's smile flashed, and he said in a low voice: "I am going to pay the rent at your house today. I wonder if Mrs. Li is at home?"

"Auntie, my mother said that they are all relatives and neighbors, and the money can be paid a few days later." Youqin Moyan is smart and sees through Xie's embarrassment.

"Thanks to Mrs. Li." Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

"My family is going to deliver raw silk, and I want my brother to help me."

"Oh, brother, then you can go." Wang Cheng was absent-minded, but he didn't notice his son's surprised gaze.

As soon as the two of them left the house, Youqin Mo Yan blushed and looked at Wang Xiu from time to time with his eyes blinking. "Brother, those dowry boxes inside your house."

"The Lu family has withdrawn their marriage." Wang Xiu was very indifferent to the baby's marriage, and it was no big deal.

"Ah! Retire?" Youqin Mo Yan blushed.

All the way in silence, when they arrived at the door of Youqin's house, Widow Li saw Wang Xiu approaching from a distance, and said with a smile, "Brother Xiu! Xiao Nizi must call you, come in and have a cup of tea."

"Ma'am, it's okay, let's send the raw silk first." Wang Xiu secretly felt bitter when he saw the wheelbarrow in front of the door. This thing needs to be controlled carefully, and it will fall over if you are not careful.

"Mother, don't talk about it, daughter and brother go and come back quickly."

"You child." Widow Li shook her head helplessly, rolled her eyes at Youqin Moyan, and smiled at Wang Xiu: "Brother Xiu, I'll thank you for your hard work."

"Where is the aunt talking? By the way, if the aunt slaughters a goose, is the feather on the wings still useful?"

"Still in the kitchen, Brother Xiu, do you want goose feathers?"

"Ma'am, can you give me two?" Wang Xiu's eyes lit up.

"Look at what you said, the aunt will keep it for you."

Along the way, Wang Xiu was incomparably hard, the car was pushed to and fro, but she received Youqin Moyan's ridicule, her efforts were not appreciated, and she wished to gag her little mouth.

After finally delivering the raw silk, on the way back, Youqin Moyan was attracted by a burst of selling 'buttered abalone'.

"Ma'am, give me half a catty."

Youqin and Mo Yan hopped over, and Wang Xiu had to follow.

"Little official is so generous. Your wife wants to eat, so she won't buy a two or three catties." The short and fat lady who sells cakes ran on Wang Xiudao.

"Ah!" Youqin Mo Yan blushed and rolled his eyes at Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu took advantage and said with a wicked smile: "That's it, that's it." After saying that, she went to take out the money, touched her sleeve by the way, and her face turned slightly bitter.

It's broken, there's only three pennies, not enough to buy it, so it's a big loss now.

"Did the little official come out without any money?" Seeing Wang Xiu's embarrassment, the mother-in-law laughed at Wang Xiu, but her eyes were full of contempt.

"This... this, how much. How do you sell it?" Wang Xiu held on to the three Wen coins, blushing as she looked at the boiled crab.

"Four dollars and a half catty."

Wang Xiu stared in shock, panicked, and blurted out: "What? Four cents is only half a catty, you mother-in-law want to steal it!"

This unintentional remark doesn't matter, it directly stabbed the hornet's nest.

The old woman frowned, pinched her waist with her left hand, pointed at Wang Xiu with her right hand, and shouted: "Hey, I say, you little official, the old woman has been buying and selling all her life, since she was a young lady until now, no one has told the old woman that you are expensive. , how can you be such a miser, who would not be willing to spend eight cents."

The woman was so excited that her saliva flew all over the place, and she opened the official dialect in a swipe, and she was speechless. She wanted to refute who is the opponent with a big lung capacity. I have lost my interest, I can only roll my eyes, the talent is among the people!
Youqin Moyan saw Wang Xiu deflated, and then saw the short and fat woman insolently, suddenly smiled and said: "Brother, you have to save your money to buy books, and my sister has it herself." He took out the pink purse and poured out eight cents Passed it over, and said: "Don't worry, my aunt, my brother is going to take the exam, and at least he wants to pay the tribute. Today, I forgot to bring money when I came out with me, so I can't be a minority."

Seeing the sweet little dimple, Wang Xiu felt a little dazed.

"Oh, it turns out that you are a young scholar! Tell me earlier, and the old woman will give you six fen a catty when the junior official pays tribute to the juror." When the woman heard that Wang Xiu was a scholar, her attitude immediately changed [-] degrees. Although no longer taunting people, but implied sarcasm.

"Ma'am, let's sell it for eight bucks! No one can bargain with you." Youqin Moyan took the bag containing the fruit and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Wang Xiu curled her lips, rolled her eyes at the short and fat neck, and followed Youqin Moyan honestly.

"Little lady, I will patronize the old woman's stall again next time." The short and fat woman gave Wang Xiu a hard look from the back, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing, a miser, bah, you want to pass the state test even if you are so ugly!" .”

A penny stumps a hero, and Wang Xiu loses all face!No way, no money and no confidence!

"Brother, eat one." Youqin Moyan dimpled sweetly, took out a buttered abalone and handed it to Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu smelled the milky aroma on the fruit, felt very uncomfortable, shook her head and said, "I don't like it."

Youqin Moyan rolled his eyes at Wang Xiu, pouted his mouth and said, "I want to eat but I want to save face, so I won't give it to you." Then, he took the buttered abalone and ate it by himself, muttering, "It's a pity that you still have to eat it." From time to time in summer, there are no red fruits to eat."

Facing a girl who was like a little sister, Wang Xiu felt very caring. Hearing Youqin Moyan talking to himself, he thought of the hawthorn tree in Widow Li's house, the red fruit, isn't it hawthorn?Candied haws, and then I thought of sugar, brown sugar, frosting sugar, white sugar?crystal sugar?His eyes lit up, as if he was grasping something, he stared at the pretty girl with wide eyes, and said in a low voice, "Girl, you are really my lucky star!"

Youqin Moyan bought some fruits in the street market, but it was half full, Wang Xiu was very surprised, after buying so many fruits, he didn't know how to eat them.

At the intersection, Youqin Moyan suddenly stopped, hesitantly said: "Brother, you go back first!"

Wang Xiu stopped the car and said puzzledly: "What's the matter, there are so many fruits in the car, how can you push the cart like a little lady."

"It's okay, I can push it." Youqin Mo Yan's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she was avoiding something.
