Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 11

Wen Yue looked at the woman with a embarrassed expression and said: "Sister, you are a businessman, but I am just a little peasant woman, relying on this skill to beg for food, if you can't give me a price, I will leave naturally. Otherwise, what should I do if I annoy you." Wen Yue didn't really want to leave, but she slowed down when she saw her stop her.

The boss looked at Wen Yue and said with a smile: "Big sister, your mouth is no worse than that of me who keeps the shop all the year round. It is no problem to open a shop. Haha, sit down, sit down and say, come on, drink first saliva."

The boss also sat opposite Wen Yue, thought for a while and said, "Sister, how about I add another 500 words for you?"

Wen Yue shook her head. When the boss saw her, she looked at Wen Yue with embarrassment and said, "Big sister, you have to give me a little head."

Seeing that Wen Yue was still silent, the boss gritted his teeth and said, "That's okay, big girl, let's do it this way, 2 taels of silver is not enough, you have to give me these two lotuses as a gift."

Wen Yue put down the tea bowl that had been placed by her mouth, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are really good at this business. Based on our fate, I planned to give you one. But you want two at once. Oh, sister, it’s too much. We are a small family, and every penny is counted and spent. You want me to pay for [-] pennies. I really feel... How about, sister, give me some silk thread , I’ll buy some more good material with you, I plan to go back and embroider two fans, and I’ll take it from you later.”

The boss was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wen Yue with a wry smile and said, "Oh, sister, you have such a clever mouth, I don't even know whether I should be happy or sad when I know you."

She stood up and said to Wen Yue: "Success, you wait, the eldest sister will get you the money."

When she turned around and went to the counter, the woman who had been picking up embroidery in the store came to Wen Yue, swept the things on the table from the corner of her eyes, and said to Wen Yue: "This little lady , I wonder if you want to embroider wedding dresses?"

Seeing the woman's demeanor and movements in front of her, Wen Yue wondered if it was the wife of a rich family, so she stood up and said to the woman, "Hello, madam!"

The woman looked at Wen Yue with a flash of satisfaction in her eyes, she was not bad, looking at her generous demeanor, one could tell that she was not that vulgar and ignorant village woman.

The woman nodded and sat on the chair, looked at Wen Yue who was standing aside and asked again: "Little lady, have you thought about what I just asked?"

Wen Yue hurriedly said: "I don't know how many pieces Madam will embroider? What's the deadline?"

The female boss of Xiuzhuang went to the lady to have a direct conversation with Wen Yue, and she showed a bit of unwillingness in her eyes. The lady in front of her was the mother in charge of the Zhu family, the richest family in Luoshui Town.The Zhu family's property spread all over the Great Xia Dynasty, and the money flowing in and out every day was like the Jiuqu River in Luoshui Town, and it couldn't run out.Recently, it was only said that the fourth daughter of the Zhu family was married to the son of a high-ranking official in the capital, and was about to marry in autumn to become the wife of an official.

Originally, their small embroidery workshop never thought that they could earn money from the Zhu family. You must know what kind of embroidery the Zhu family wanted, so how could they value the things in their small shop.But today was just a coincidence, when she saw the manager's mother enter their shop, she was in a bad mood

Happiness popped out of my throat.It's a pity, she looked at the woman who was talking to Wen Yue, and she felt very sorry.

The mother in charge was also very happy at this time. She originally wanted to pick something for her own granddaughter to add to the dowry, but she didn't expect to meet such a good embroiderer.The wife at home is worrying about the young lady's dowry, because the order is for the young master of a dignified family, so the dowry will naturally have to be upgraded to a higher level, and some bad ones prepared before have been removed, and the wife starts to worry.

Although the Zhu family is also a big family, with money in hand, it is not in a hurry to buy things now, but good embroidery products are different. If good things come out of the big embroidery workshop, they will naturally be picked up by powerful people. How dare you rob those people.Now it's all right, if she brings back what the little lady embroidered to show the master, as long as it is finished, she will make another great achievement here.

Thinking of this, she looked at Wen Yue and said, "I can't say the specifics right now. How about this, tell me where you live. If we need you, I'll go to your house to find you."

Wen Yue didn't agree immediately, she looked at the woman with a look of embarrassment and said: "Ma'am, I'm afraid you can see it too, little lady, I am pregnant now, and I will give birth in a few months, so I The time you can work is not long. If you need to embroider a lot of things and take a long time, then I'm afraid I won't be able to take it on."

After the woman's eyes fell on Wen Yue's lower abdomen, she nodded her head and said, "You don't have to worry about it, I will figure it out."

Wen Yue nodded, and after telling the woman the address of her home, she took the money and left the embroidery village with Fang Dachuan.

After the two walked a certain distance, Fang Dachuan looked at Wen Yue and said, "Yue Niang, you are so powerful. I thought one tael of silver was already a lot, but I didn't expect that you could make her have an extra tael."

"They are businessmen, so there is no truth. Don't trust them because of their sincerity. In fact, they are cunning." Wen Yue smiled and stuffed the money she was holding into Fang Dachuan's hand.

Holding the silver in his hand, Fang Dachuan only felt that it was hot, and he was very happy that his daughter-in-law was capable, but when he thought that if he could not make more money in the future and let his wife support the family, he would not feel very happy.He had to think of a way to earn more money for the family. Although the wife earned a lot of money, he also saw how much embroidery hurt her body. How could he make his wife work so hard as a big man.

Wen Yue didn't know Fang Dachuan's mental activities, she just followed Fang Dachuan's side and looked left and right. The market had not yet dispersed, and all kinds of ancient shouts filled her ears.With money, Wen Yue couldn't control her desire to shop again. In the end, the two of them filled their empty baskets in the future, and two taels of silver became one tael. The bullock cart that went back.

When Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li came back at night and saw a table full of fish, meat, and eggs, Mrs. Zhao's face fell again: "Wen Yue'e, what's going on?"

Knowing that Mrs. Zhao would make trouble, Wen Yue waved her chopsticks and said, "Grandma, I don't know what's going on. When I saw the sellers selling these things in the town today, I salivated. I was so slanderous. It just happened to be a delivery." I'll buy some money back, grandma, don't be angry, I'm really slanderous, maybe this little thing in my stomach wants to eat it."

Mrs. Zhao heard Wen Yue say that she was slandering her mouth and that the child in her stomach was making trouble. She lost her temper again and just muttered: "If you are slanderous, buy less. You can eat it yourself. Why do you have to buy so much? It's such a waste."

Wen Yue winked at Fang Dachuan, meaning to serve up the rice quickly. Seeing Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li, who almost only ate but refused to add food, Wen Yue sniffed and took a piece into their bowls respectively. The braised pork said: "Hurry up, eat it, it's hot, and it will be spoiled tomorrow. Dachuan, eat it yourself." Under Wen Yue's half persuasion and half pressure, Zhao Shi and Li Shi finally took the initiative to grab their own bowls I ate the vegetables inside.

At night, just when Wen Yue thought that Fang Dachuan had fallen asleep, she suddenly heard him say: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the mountain to get off the trap. There are many things on the mountain. Even if I can't trap every day, I can do it in ten and a half months." Put on a rabbit."

Wen Yue turned her head, looked at Fang Dachuan's bright eyes in the dark, touched her belly and said, "Baby, we will often have meat to eat in the future, please cheer for your father. Fang Dachuan, come on! Come on!" ...

Wen Yue's voice stopped abruptly, because she felt a heat source on her lower abdomen, which was Fang Dachuan's hand.This is the first time since Wen Yue became pregnant, Fang Dachuan felt the existence of this little life so close. Before, he also wanted to touch this little life that was pregnant with him.
However, he was always worried that he would accidentally injure the child again because of his rough hands and feet, so he never dared to move.

And just now, when Wen Yue spoke to the child in her stomach in such a soft tone, he could no longer hold back the excitement and longing in his heart, and before his mind could react, he had already covered it with his hands.

Perhaps it was because of feeling the presence of her father for the first time. The child who had never moved so fiercely kicked left and right in Wen Yue's stomach. Wen Yue only felt her stomach bulging Picking up small bags one by one, Fang Dachuan, who had an infinitely warm face, got up in panic: "Yue Niang, is there any discomfort? Tell me, what's wrong with my stomach, does it hurt?"

Seeing Fang Dachuan's nervous look, Wen Yue, who was not in a hurry to feel the joy of the baby's fetal movement for the first time, burst out laughing: "Idiot, then our child is greeting you!"

As she spoke, she took Fang Dachuan's hand and gently placed it on the slightly bulging little bag, and said softly, "Baby, this is Daddy!"

Fang Dachuan was already stiff, and the hand on Wenyue's lower abdomen even trembled a little, until he felt the small protrusion under his hand disappear, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with concern: "If he is like this, will you Will it hurt?"

Wen Yue smiled and shook her head: "No, he is a good boy."

Fang Dachuan slowly lay beside Wen Yue. After experiencing the fetal movement incident just now, he felt that the gap between Wen Yue and Wen Yue seemed to have disappeared a lot, and the child who had always existed in Wen Yue's belly It also suddenly became a lot more real in his heart.Holding Wen Yue's hand tightly, Fang Dachuan once again made up his mind in his heart, even if he really can't make a lot of money to let his family live a good life, he will definitely do his best to let these dear relatives in his heart live a happy life. be happy.
