Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 22

Originally, Meng Duo was reluctant to part with the money, but he walked back and forth for a day, but Meng Da didn't agree.In addition, she calculated an account, and the peddler from the village had quite a lot of things, but the price was high.If you buy more cotton and needles and threads, you can save these five copper coins, and the quality of the things is good.

Early the next morning, she entrusted Sanchun and Siya to Aunt Wang to take care of them, cleaned up and went to the entrance of the village to wait.

Since Meng Da rescued Mr. Lin, the matter of the spirit snake has been exposed, and everyone is not as repulsive when they see the Meng family as before.

It was old man Li who was driving the car. He saw Meng Duo took out five copper coins and hurriedly called "Uncle Li", so he deliberately picked a good seat for her.

After a while, a carload of people gathered together, and old man Li slammed his whip into the town.A carload of women naturally never stops along the way.Meng Duo just listened and didn't speak, but no one rushed to run her down.

After more than an hour, the carriage arrived in the town.Old man Li asked everyone to get off the car and set a time to return to this place.

Everyone went for a stroll in twos and threes immediately, and old man Li's wife also came, and she dragged Meng Duo to follow her.

"What do you want to buy? I'm a frequent visitor in the town. I know where things are sold cheaply. Just follow me." Mrs. Li said with a smile.

She doesn't spend money by car, and she will come with her once a month at least. She is warm and straightforward, and nine out of ten merchants in this town know her.

Meng Duo was not polite when she heard her say that, and replied with a smile: "Then please trouble Aunt Li. It's the first time I'm shopping in the town, and I'm afraid I'll be cheated."

"With me here, you can never be deceived! Don't worry, safekeeping allows you to buy desirable and cheap things."

Mrs. Li led Meng Duo to go through the small alleys. Those small shops looked dark and inconspicuous, but the things inside were really good, and the most important thing was that the prices were fair.

Meng Duo bought a lot of cotton and flower thread, and also bought two red-headed ropes for Si Ya, thinking of tying them on her birthday.That girl counted the days on her fingers every day, wishing it would be the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

"Go, put your things in the car. I'll take you to the bustling streets to learn more, and it's not in vain." Mrs. Li likes Meng Duo's quiet and quiet appearance.

Meng Duo didn't want to go, those places looked lively, the storefronts were big and bright, but the things inside could only be seen, and he didn't even dare to touch them lightly, what's the point?
She couldn't bear Mrs. Li's efforts, so she had no choice but to follow.

Mrs. Li took Meng Duo to the busiest street. The road was wide and there were many cars and horses, and there were neat shops on both sides.Meng Duo walked timidly, and did not dare to look casually after Mrs. Li.

The folks in this town are all witty masters, and you can tell that they are almost the same just by looking at their clothes.Seeing that they did not look like people who could buy things, many shop assistants simply ignored them.After visiting several Meng Duo stores, she felt uncomfortable and dragged Mrs. Li to go out.

"Why don't you buy more and look at a few stores? Why don't you buy it? Why don't people see it?" Mrs. Li is old and thick-skinned, so she doesn't care about the boy's face at all.

"Look at it, old man, don't do it. If it gets dirty or damaged, you will have to pay for it!" The young man who was cleaning the counter said with a smile, "There is no reason to open the door for business, but You always have some eyesight, don't hinder us from doing business."

"You know that I won't buy it? You're just a brat, why don't you play tricks when you become the shopkeeper!" Mrs. Li didn't like it, and her mouth didn't make anyone.

Meng Duo hurriedly dragged her out, but unexpectedly, someone came in at the door, and bumped into him.

Before Meng Duo could react, the little guy behind jumped over, smiling all over his face to accompany Xiaoxin, "Grandma hasn't come for a few days, and the little one is wondering if the little one annoyed my aunt last time. When I got up early in the morning, the magpies in the yard didn’t listen to me. I thought it was a happy event, but I didn’t expect that it was my aunt who came. Are you hurt? Even if you lose a hair, a villain can’t afford it.”

"Slick-tongued bastard, you can't take good things to look at your mouth." The fat and white woman next to her scolded with a smile, carefully supporting a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was dressed in silk and satin, with a delicate bun on her head, a hairpin painted with gold and emerald green was inserted on it, and she wore golden ornaments on her fingers and wrists.

Meng Duo felt that his eyes were dazzled, and it was the first time in his life that he saw such a wealthy person.

The guy squeezed Meng Duo and Mrs. Li with his body, and protected the woman to go inside.Meng Duo was staggered by his elbow, took two steps back and nearly fell down.

"Where are you going to hit?" Mrs. Li supported Meng Duo, seeing that she was fine, she didn't dare to yell loudly, and gave the man a dissatisfied look.She also saw that the woman was not an ordinary person, so let's just forget that she didn't suffer much.

Meng Duo tugged at her clothes, motioning her to leave quickly.When the two walked to the door, they suddenly heard someone shouting "Leave a step".

"The pattern of the clothes you are wearing is very special, where did you buy them?" The woman asked while staring at Meng Duo's front.Her voice was soft, and she looked at Meng Duo with kindness in her eyes.

Meng Duo felt that the woman in front of him didn't mean to be scornful at all, so he let down his guard a lot.

"This is the eldest aunt of Mayor Chen's family. Why don't you hurry up when I ask you something?" Seeing Meng Duo's dumbfounded look, the young man hurriedly scolded her softly.

The woman's eyes flashed, and the woman immediately scolded: "Don't scare the little girl, go aside!"

"I made this dress myself. If the front was scratched, I embroidered some patterns to cover it up. It's rare for my aunt to catch my eyes!" Meng Duo replied sharply.

The woman liked her a little more when she saw that she was generous and not shy when she spoke.

"Come on, follow me upstairs." There was a smile in the woman's eyes.

As he was talking, the shopkeeper went upstairs and downstairs, and when he saw the woman, he came over with a smile on his face.He smiled and led the woman upstairs, while Meng Duo stood downstairs hesitating.

"Girl, go up quickly. You are in the eyes of that aunt. Be careful and wait for you. There are many benefits." The man's face changed quickly, and Meng Duo hurried upstairs.

Mrs. Li didn't have time to tease him, so she pulled him and asked in a low voice: "That aunt got married immediately at first glance, which master did she marry? She looks even more powerful than Mayor Chen."

"You don't even know. Anyway, you are a high-ranking official in Kyoto. There are thousands of houses in the house, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and there are groups of servants. Every day is a feast of delicacies from mountains and seas. My aunt misses her parents, and the weather in Kyoto is dry. , I just came back to recuperate." The man said happily.

Mrs. Li was stunned when she heard this, but Meng Duo was thinking in her heart whether she should go upstairs.

The woman who followed upstairs came down again and summoned Meng Duo to go up to talk, but Mrs. Li dragged her up.
