after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 53 You didn't discuss it!
Chapter 53 You didn't discuss it!
It's better in the border town of Beidi, Manzi often trades beef for some rice and grains, Xiaoxi has only eaten one piece in Jiang's house for many years.

"It's delicious but hard to find. In the past, barbarians rarely sold beef."

He Xing spoke halfway, and when Jiang Baozhu looked over, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "But this year is different. I heard that there was a snowstorm in Manzi, and there was even a shortage of food."

"If only I had the chance to buy one."

Xiaoxi was still a little girl, all she could think about was eating, but Lin Yuesha was different, sensitively aware that there was something in He Xing's words.

The snowstorm in the north is not a good omen, and Manzi is not as talkative as he imagined.

The barbarians are warlike, and almost all the people are soldiers. They often invade the border towns in the north and harass some poor people.

The times are not good, and the friction between the two countries is even worse.

However, He Xing, who is a scholar, is not worried about these things. This is what the official should do, only Lin Yuesha thinks more.

As the New Year approached, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and the carriage was walking on the stone-paved road, occasionally stopping to make way for the other party.

"Hickory nuts, high-quality hickory nuts, homemade candied fruit, if they don't taste good, you don't need money!"

"Come and take a look, the pouch embroidered handkerchief sachets are all styles from the south, fresh!"

From time to time, there are shopkeepers passing by on the street, yelling in their mouths, and meeting buyers is called a sweet mouth.

Xiaoxi couldn't sit still anymore, her buttocks twisted from side to side.She lives in the town, and only goes out once or twice a year, so she has long wanted to go down and have a look.

Seeing this, Jiang Baozhu nodded, and waited for the carriage to stop before getting off first.

"Sister Lin, do you think this silk flower looks good?"

Xiaoxi took a big red peony and compared it to Lin Yuesha's head.

"Big red is festive, but it won't be worn by the bride?"

Lin Yuesha took the silk flower and looked at it carefully. It was different from the modern mass-production operation. The petals and stamens were all handmade, layered on top of each other, and looked like the real thing from a distance.

"Little lady has good eyesight. This is the handicraft of the southern embroiderer. We can't do it."

The salesman laughed. It is true that the ladies in the south like simple and elegant colors, but in the north, the simple and elegant colors are not easy to sell. There are aesthetic differences between the two places.

Who made the border towns to be in winter for half a year, with no other colors except for the snowy and gray houses and mountains.

"nice."

Lin Yuesha agrees with the salesman, she wants to buy a silk flower for her second cousin Chen Xiaohua, but unfortunately, the Chen family has just experienced a funeral, so it is obviously inappropriate to buy red.

"How do you sell this peony flower?"

Lin Yuesha picked and picked, and picked out a pale pink peony flower from the bottom of the box.

"This one……"

The peony flower was the first addition to his shipment. It had been thrown in the box for several months, and no one cared about it. Unexpectedly, it was found out today.

"In this case, you will take twenty Wen."

Other silk flowers cost fifty Wen, and twenty Wen for peony flowers is already a conscience price.

However, Lin Yuesha was still tongue-tied because of the price. The silk flowers on the stalls cost only three to five yuan, and the goods in the south were beautiful, but expensive.

"Girl, do you still need to hesitate?"

The salesman said clearly, "From the north, all the way through the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, it's almost a thousand miles away. There are high rivers and long rivers, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation on the way, so you don't need money? It's a huge cost!"

The peddler doesn't need to go to the south to get the goods at all, he just needs to find a familiar escort team to bring the goods, but he also needs to pay money.

"Looking at it this way, is twenty Wen still expensive?"

If it was someone else, the peddler wouldn't bother to say so much. He saw that no one wanted peony flowers, and even giving them away would be disliked and not festive.

"Not expensive."

Lin Yuesha was instantly convinced, she was not someone who would bargain.I don't have a lot of money in my hands, so I always want to be cheaper and better.

"Xiaoxi, Sister Lin, do you guys have any favorites?"

He Xing took out his purse, intending to pay for the two of them, "Look at the hairpin ring, the small mirror is pretty good."

It's just a style that was eliminated in the south, and it's so soiled that it can't be soiled anymore.

He Xing didn't inquire about Lin Yuesha's identity, and thought she was a distant relative of the Jiang family when he saw her clothes, so he didn't expect to spend money so petty.

Do you have to bargain for [-] Wen?This made He Xing look contemptuous, but he didn't show it.

Such a girl is the most vain, and if you give her some sweetness, she can make the other party obedient.

Thinking of the hobbies of a nobleman he knew, He Xing's eyes showed a hint of malice, don't worry, take your time.

"Young Master He, it's not a relationship or a reason, how can you be so mean?"

Lin Yuesha didn't want to owe favors, thinking that she was in modern times, and always refused things from people around her.

She has no family support, and is always very sensitive, because what she got for nothing requires giving, and Lin Yuesha is always afraid that she will not be able to pay it back.

Originally, when He Xing wanted to give something, she could refuse it, but it was only twenty coins, so there was no need for any interaction with the other party.

"Then thank you Mr. He."

Lin Yuesha raised her head and blinked innocently. Seeing the viciousness in He Xing's eyes, she felt even more ironic.

What He Xing was thinking, she didn't know, it was just a crooked idea.In this case, if the other party is willing to pretend to be taken advantage of, it is hard for her to refuse.

Not to mention, the shopkeeper had a lot of good things at the bottom of the box. Lin Yuesha liked a silver hairpin and asked for two taels of silver. She pretended to like it, asked the price, and put it back feeling hot.

"Miss Lin, don't be polite to me. If you accompany Baozhu, I will treat you like a sister."

He Xing thought that Lin Yuesha was so petty, and she would definitely have dismissed the hundred and ten texts. He didn't expect her to be so greedy, and went straight to the good things!
For a hairpin of two taels of silver, you can buy it at a bigger silver shop at this price, maybe the one wrapped in silver is not so expensive!

"I... don't buy it, I just look at it, I don't like it."

Lin Yuesha endured the pain and stopped looking at the silver hairpin.

She sneered in her heart, but it was just a small temptation, and she could see He Xing's personality, her premonition was indeed right, He Xing had bad intentions for her!
It was almost impossible for her to please Jiang Baozhu, so it was only for her.

Now that she has bad intentions, if she wants the silver hairpin, the other party can't let her go, so it's better for the soldiers to cover the water and cover it with earth, and there is no need for a large sum of money.

Lin Yuesha is good at taking advantage of her, and she doesn't know how many times she has practiced against her stepbrother.

"Sister Lin, Mr. He is the most generous and the best person, so just accept it."

Xiaoxi got a wink from her own lady and joined in the fun.

Although she didn't understand why elder sister Lin wanted such an expensive silver hairpin, it was a gift from Mr. He, but she had to understand what Miss meant!
In the end, He Xing spent five taels of silver at the shopkeeper to buy everything Lin Yuesha and Xiaoxi had.

After tricking He Xing, Lin Yuesha was in a good mood but remained vigilant.

In fact, from the very beginning, she could see that He Xing was a very purposeful person, and Jiang Baozhu's dislike for him just showed that this person was not pleasing, and his eyes made people feel that he was not upright, and he pretended to be indifferent gentleman.

Nonsence!

After bleeding profusely, He Xing's purse was almost empty, and he didn't dare to say that he would take the initiative to pay.
