Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

33 The Return
She doesn't even bother explaining, but her temper is arrogant, Feng Yao thought to herself, isn't she afraid that the little guy won't remember who she is?Just as she was thinking, she turned to look at the boy, but suddenly found that the boy's face was very ugly.

Not only is it ugly, but some eyes dodge, and they don't dare to look at her.

Feng Yao's heart moved: "Could it be that the two pieces of cloth ordered by her wife are these two?" She pointed to the two pieces of pear-blossom white and bright red cloth, and saw that the boy's face became more and more ugly, extremely unkind "Puchi" let out a laugh: "It's God's will, God's will!"

The little guy was embarrassed, but he didn't lose his temper. After all, this kind of thing often happens in the store, so it's not so rare.He rubbed his nose, and soon raised a face as if nothing had happened: "Now these two pieces of cloth are ownerless, how much does Madam want, I will cut it for you?"

"What if I don't want it anymore?" Feng Yao had a faint smile on her lips.

The little guy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little anxious. He pulled the cloth in his hand and said, "How can Madam not want it? This is such a good cloth. There is no second cloth in Huangsha Town!"

"You say it's good, but the magistrate of the county doesn't like it." Feng Yao said flatly.

"Then how can it be the same—" the boy suddenly stopped talking when he said this, looking at the slight slyness in Feng Yao's eyes, he immediately understood. "Oh" and said: "Madam wants to bargain, right? Yes! I will give you half a tael cheaper for each piece of cloth. How about it? Isn't it righteous?"

The little guy is going all out, anyway, he is selling it, who is not selling it to?What's more, there are not many people who come to buy such expensive fabrics.

To say that Fengyao was not a person who took advantage of the fire, but at this moment she couldn't help but said: "The one with white pear blossoms costs three taels of silver per foot. The one with bright red flowers costs four taels of silver per foot. If you agree, I will buy it." .If you disagree, don’t need to say more, I still have something to do, so I should leave now.”

The little guy gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, as if he had been bitten off by a human being, he puffed up and said fiercely, "Okay!"

"Okay, give me a foot for everything." Feng Yao laughed.

"What? You only want one foot?" The little boy stared at Feng Yao's heart, and said frantically, "I only want one foot, what price will Madam tell me?"

Feng Yao sneered: "Don't think that I don't understand anything. This price is already very kind to you. Taking ten thousand steps back, the wife of the county magistrate doesn't want it, and the wives of other rich families in the town don't want it. Will you buy it? I’m afraid you don’t understand the psychology of a woman. Let me advise you, if someone is willing to buy it, just enjoy it!”

The little guy just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.With blood dripping from her heart, she saw that Feng Yao's divorce was getting stronger, and she said ruthlessly, "I'll sell it to you!" Picking up the scissors, as if afraid of regretting it in the next moment, she cut off each piece by a foot.

"Give me another ten feet of crimson cotton cloth, and one ten feet of blue cotton cloth." The sewn and patched clothes on her body brought Feng Yao a lot of trouble, and Feng Yao wanted to throw them away.What's more, even if there is no trouble, Feng Yao doesn't want to dress so shabby.From the bottom of her heart, Fengyao is still the ordinary woman in her previous life who followed fashion and followed fashion magazines when she had no tasks.

Compared with silk and satin, cotton cloth is much cheaper, two feet of cotton cloth adds up to only [-] Wen, which is still the best cotton cloth.A total of seven taels of silver and three hundred wen was paid. After Feng Yao paid, she carefully put away the fabric, turned around and walked out.

On the Cloth Art Street, there are everything related to dressing. Feng Yao turned around and walked into an embroidery workshop. After buying some embroidery threads, she left the street.

Not long after she left, the servant girl of the magistrate's wife who had just left came back again, raised her head and said, "I made a mistake just now, what our wife doesn't want is cloth from another cloth shop, and the ones from yours are still the same." Yes. Where's the cloth? Has it arrived?"

Hearing this, the boy felt his eyes go dark!
"Chase! Go after it!" The wife of the magistrate is the most difficult to serve. If she knew that the cloth she ordered was cut off by a foot, wouldn't she be furious?The little guy hurriedly packed up his things, got out the door and chased outside.The little maid also turned pale, and hurriedly followed behind.

Fengyao didn't know that the maid of the magistrate's wife and the boy just now were frantically looking for her.At this time, she came to the grain market, walked into a shop selling rice and noodles, and weighed ten catties of white noodles and ten catties of rice.White noodles cost three Wen a catty, rice five Wen a catty, and a total of eighty Wen was spent.

After thinking about it carefully, Feng Yao turned to the vegetable market again and bought some eggs and meat.It's too hot, and there is no refrigerator in this world, so Feng Yao didn't dare to buy more, not to mention that it doesn't take much effort to go to the city.

Bought one in sevens and eights, and the small back basket was almost full before Feng Yao set foot on the return journey.After leaving the gate of the city, it happened that there was still an ox cart in the village, and it stopped under a big tree outside the city. Three women were already sitting there, and they were about to leave.

"Uncle Bai, give me a ride!" Coincidentally, the driver was none other than Uncle Bai who lived at the entrance of the village and treated Feng Yao.

Looking at this old man, Feng Yao respected him from the bottom of her heart.Not only because Uncle Bai treated her, but also because Uncle Bai was not easy, even at an age, but still struggling to make a living.

In the early years, Uncle Bai's only son and daughter-in-law both passed away, leaving only a juicy granddaughter, who was about to be married.On weekdays, besides treating the villagers in several neighboring villages, Uncle Bai often drove people into the city in a bullock cart, earning some money to make a dowry for his granddaughter.

Uncle Bai glanced at her, then tapped the cigarette bag: "Come on."

"Wait!" At this time, a woman in the car said: "Mr. Feng is carrying such a big backpack, you can't just pay two Wen for the fare, at least three Wen!"

Feng Yao raised her eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Aunt Six is ​​a fair person." I saw Aunt Six's fat body, sitting on half of the car shaft, with one butt supporting two others, I don't know if she gave more money?

This sixth aunt is the woman who murmured in the morning that Fengyao was possessed by a ghost.In terms of seniority, Feng has to call her sixth aunt.Originally, she didn't want to call out, but in front of so many people, Feng Yao didn't want to show it, so she called out obediently, but she felt very contemptuous in her heart.It's just because the sixth aunt has a very good relationship with the Zhu family, and she is very fussy and often does things that harm others and benefit herself.

"No need." Uncle Bai said with drooping eyes.He has been to Fengyao's house and knows how poor it is. Although his family is not rich, and he has to save a dowry for his granddaughter, he doesn't want to make it difficult for the younger generation.

Feng Yao admired Uncle Bai's kindness the most, so she took out four Wen coins from her bosom and handed it over: "A few days ago, thank you for taking care of me, Uncle Bai. Aunt Six made a lot of sense just now. I have a big basket on my back." It’s too heavy, and it’s time to pay extra.”

Seeing this, Uncle Bai didn't say anything more, took the money and stuffed it into his bosom, picked up his whip and yelled: "Let's go—"

The bullock cart creaked forward, Feng Yao sat on the edge with her back basket in her arms, silently counting in her heart.Today, I got 13, [-] Wen for selling star anise, [-], [-] Wen for cloth, and [-] Wen for embroidery thread, food, meat, eggs, and other miscellaneous things.After all, there are five taels of silver left on him.

Five taels of silver, not too much, not too much.It is enough to deal with an emergency on weekdays.Thinking of this, the expression on his face gradually relaxed.Today I bought two feet of cotton cloth, one foot for myself, and one foot for Doudou.After a few days, when the things for the mysterious man are finished, I will make two clothes for myself and Doudou.

He thought in his heart again, with the shopkeeper of Wuyou Building, with this friendship today, the business will definitely go much smoother in the future.Thinking of it like this, it seemed as if the white silver was spread on the road not far away, just waiting for her to pick it up.

"Yo? What did the Feng family buy today, so happy?" Aunt Six sat beside Feng Yao, looking at the basket in her arms.

This sixth aunt has a lot of things to do, if she hides it and doesn't show it to her, she doesn't know what will happen later.Fengyao was clear in her heart, so she let go of her hand on the basket, revealing the bags of rice and noodles piled on top of the basket, and said, "I didn't buy anything, it's just some rice noodles."

"Oh, I see such a big basket, it's not just some rice noodles, right?" Aunt Six glanced at it, stretched out her hands and pulled it up: "What's underneath?"

Feng Yao pursed her lips slightly, separated the sixth aunt's hand, and gently pushed aside a corner of the noodle bag, revealing a little egg and pork: "My Doudou was growing up, so I bought some eggs and meat, Go home and cook for him."

"Tsk tsk, I really have spare money!" Aunt Six said with a half-smile, "This time, I have broken away from my natal family, and I am willing to buy eggs and eat pork."

Feng Yao's eyes turned cold, and she almost couldn't help kicking her off - what kind of stupid talk is this?Was the Feng clan not filial in the past?She was so filial that she lost her life, how many people would be wronged for her?He gave Aunt Six a cold look, don't ignore her.

The sixth aunt was so busy that her cheeks ached, she took out a handful of watermelon seeds from her pocket, and said coolly while nibbling: "You can put these away when you get home, lest your mother take them away again. Sigh, Look at what I said, where do you still have a mother? You were originally an abandoned daughter picked up by my sister-in-law from the foot of the mountain, and now you have broken ties with my sister-in-law, but you are a man without father or mother."

"Stop talking!" At this moment, a woman sitting on the other side of the shaft with her back to the two said.

Sixth Aunt turned her head to glance at the woman, and said, "What? What am I wrong? Is Feng an abandoned daughter? Was she picked up by my sister-in-law? Did she raise her? Did she accompany her?" She married someone? Later she was divorced, but she was incompetent and had an unknown traitor, no one can blame anyone! If it weren't for the sake of my sister-in-law's family, how could the village accommodate her? She was kicked out early in the morning out--"

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly kicked in the waist, fell out of the car with an "ah", and fell into the mud!
As far as Feng Yao is concerned, she doesn't like fan theory the most. She can't learn and doesn't like to do those tricks.After all, she has a whole body of kung fu, who can do anything to her?She just didn't like to hear Aunt Six's nonsense, so she simply didn't wrong herself, and followed her heart's will, kicked her off.

"Ah yo!" Aunt Six stood up with her waist supported, and with a big painted face covered in mud, she started to catch up with the bullock cart: "Well, you little hoof, you are so disrespectful to your elders! What can I say to you?" Did you give birth? Could it be that you have been wronged? How dare you kick me! Little hoof, I will never end with you!"

Uncle Bai didn't know whether his ears were hard to use because he was old, or he was doing it on purpose, he insisted on dropping the whip on Niu'er's buttocks, and said in a long and hoarse voice: "Run, Niu'er, run faster—"
