from widow to dame

Chapter 28

"So that's it!" Su Huiniang secretly sighed.Under the torment of Pi and others, Wang Qilang was able to jump up to this point, probably because of this reason, a good body is better than anything else!

"I don't know much about martial arts, but you are still young and you don't have anyone to guide you, so it's better not to practice randomly!" Su Huiniang has never been in contact with this kind of thing in two lifetimes, but she has seen it occasionally Some chivalrous legends and the like, know that once the skill is poorly practiced, it is easy to hurt the muscles and bones, and go crazy.

Wang Qilang listened, nodded obediently, and said: "Sister Hui, don't worry, Xiaoqi has a sense of propriety."

The two of them sat here for a while longer, seeing that it was really getting late, and just started to go down the mountain. Of course, Su Huiniang put away the jade pendant and the "Huo's Boxing Manual". I have a hunch that these two things will come in handy one day.When she got home, Mrs. Lin had already prepared the meals, and Su Huiniang specially washed the wild vegetables picked today into a small pot, dipped them in golden egg sauce, and it looked like a juicy drink in her mouth.

After the meal, Su Huiniang lit the oil lamp and started to do embroidery work. It was still small things like handkerchiefs and sachets. Now she can make five or six pieces a month, which can add about ten taels of silver to the family. An indispensable steady income.Su Wen and Wang Qilang were reviewing their homework at their own desks. Their learning progress was different, but they were always working hard, especially Wang Qilang, who had to write big characters at least five hundred times a day, with a pair of small hands. , It didn't take long to grind out a thick cocoon, which shows that he really put his heart into it.

At Haishi, Su Huiniang sent the two of them back to sleep, turned off the lights, drew the curtains, and ran to the portable space to take a good hot spring bath as usual. She lowered her head and looked at herself, then Seeing the girl reflected on the water looking at her, Su Huiniang twitched the corners of her mouth in satisfaction. This body and appearance are definitely not comparable to her in the previous life, and she can only be regarded as pretty if she dies, but Su Huiniang didn't care, she took a closer look at her face, the erythema on it was only left with a light pink halo, I believe that it will all disappear in a month or two, her request is true It's not high, as long as you can "see people"!
After soaking in the bath and washing away her exhaustion, Su Huiniang was not too sleepy at this time, so she came up with the idea of ​​tidying up the land in the space. At this time, the space is no longer planted with the precious flowers in patches After all, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they cannot be eaten as food. There are no weeds growing in the space, and there is no need to water them. All you need to do is harvest.Su Huiniang had already placed several large bamboo baskets in the space ahead of time, which happened to come in handy at this time.For half a day, she collected a basket of emerald green cucumbers, a basket of eggplants, a basket of potatoes, and two baskets of big red dates. These dates were planted when she first discovered the space, and now they have grown into big, thick Jujube tree, shake it up and the dates will fall down.

Looking contentedly at the vegetables and fruits in front of her, a kind of joy of harvest filled her heart. Of course, she was also slightly troubled in this joy. How could she explain the origin of these things? Su Huiniang shook her head helplessly.

Two days later, Lin looked at the baskets of jujubes in front of her, her rare eyes lit up.

"Huiniang, where did you pick it? Why is it so big, it looks so juicy!"

"Picked from the mountain." Su Huiniang didn't want to dwell on this issue, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Mother, tomorrow is the day to go to the market, you can go with me, and these things happen to be sold."

"I think it will work!" Hearing that he was going to sell for money, there was no reason why Lin would not agree.The next day, it was the day of Muxiu in the village school, Su Wen and Wang Qilang yelled to follow, Su Huiniang thought that there were more people and strength, so she agreed.So the four of them, carrying two large baskets of red dates, a large basket of fresh bean sprouts born a few days ago, and a basket of eggs, hurriedly boarded the ox cart to the town.In order to hurry up, they set off before dawn, but when they arrived in the town, the market had already come to an end, and several people hurriedly found a place to put down the things they brought. The peddlers were all hawking by their necks, and they wanted to learn a few words, but after all, she had never done such a thing in public, so she couldn't help opening her mouth.

It was Wang Qilang who was more courageous, and the child stood in front of him without changing his face, and yelled loudly: "Big red dates, sweet and crispy big red dates, five cents a catty!" Su Huiniang looked at it with a smile. With a glance, he thought to himself that at his age, how could he be inferior to a child, his heart surged up, and he also started to shout loudly without realizing it.What mountain to stand on, what to say, I am no longer a marquis, Su Huiniang, who is constantly running around for life, is the most real her at this moment.

Wang Qilang was good-looking, and he stood there very eye-catching, and soon some people came to ask the price.The first one to open for Su Huiniang was an old lady with white hair and a vegetable basket on her arm.

"Five Wen a catty is too expensive, and four Wen is about the same." Haggling is probably the habit of every buyer.

"Grandma, my sister went to the mountains to pick these dates before dawn, and drove more than ten miles. It's hard work to get here!" Wang Qilang grabbed a big red date and handed it to him with a cute face. He gave it to her: "Besides, this jujube is crispy and sweet, and it's delicious. If you don't believe me, you can try it." Looking at such a cute child of Yuxue, the old lady thought of her little grandson unconsciously, He took it with a smile on his face, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and sure enough, it was delicious, so he bought two catties on the spot, and Su Huiniang got ten coins. Inspired by Wang Qilang, Su Huiniang was selling it At that time, I unconsciously uttered the slogan: "Taste first, buy later, no money if it's not good", which attracted many people. Now it's April, and apples and pears have not yet come down. Su Huiniang's jujubes look All of them are thin-skinned and thick-fleshed, red and round. When you get close, you can still smell the smell of jujube, which is very attractive, and it is only five yuan a catty, which is extremely cheap.

Su Huiniang and Wang Qilang were in charge of hawking, Su Wen asked Cheng to collect the money, and Lin was in charge of bringing dates wrapped in paper for everyone. For a while, several people were busy walking around. Su Huiniang introduced "bean sprouts" to everyone, but most of the people here don't recognize this dish, so it's not as fast as red dates, so Su Huiniang only sold it for more than half an hour. Only half of the two big baskets of red dates and bean sprouts were left, but the one hundred eggs were all bought away.

Su Huiniang saw that the sale was almost done, so she was about to close the stall, but at this moment, she happened to run into an acquaintance.

"Mother Rong... It's been a long time." The person who came was the mother of the Chen residence who was familiar with Su Huiniang.

"It's you!" Mother Rong was obviously surprised, she still had an impression of Su Huiniang, she couldn't help but smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence."

After the two chatted for a while, Su Huiniang asked about Chen Ruyue's marriage with a smile.Mother Rong said: "Missy won't get married until mid-June, and our young master will stay in Beijing until that time, but Madam came back first." When Mrs. Chen was mentioned, Mama Rong's face was rather stagnant.Su Huiniang clearly thought that Mrs. Chen must have encountered something unhappy in Shangjing, or else she would have come back so soon after traveling thousands of miles.But this matter has nothing to do with her after all, and it is not her turn to ask.

"What are you selling?" Mother Rong obviously didn't want to say more, she lowered her head and looked at the bamboo basket in front of her.

"Some red dates and bean sprouts." Su Huiniang quickly wrapped up all the remaining dates and bean sprouts, and stuffed them all to Mama Rong: "Take it back, mom, let's try something new!"

"How can this be done? You need money." Mama Rong actually just asked casually, not wanting to pay for it. Their family doesn't like these things, but Su Huiniang didn't pay for them when she gave them like this. no more.

"The jujubes are picked from the mountains, and the bean sprouts are grown by ourselves. How can there be any capital? My mother has taken care of us like that, so what are these things?" , Mom, don't refuse, just accept it."

Mother Rong's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, Madam has a weak stomach these days, and she's tired of eating fresh fruit, maybe this date is a new one.In this way, without any further excuses, she accepted it with a smile, and Su Huiniang briefly said about the practice of bean sprouts, let mother keep it in her heart, and then said something, Rong mother just took the two behind her with their arms The woman who planted things left.

"Huiniang, this is the person from the Chen family you mentioned before..." Mrs. Lin asked softly beside her.

Su Huiniang nodded slightly.

"It's so grand..." Lin said enviously, "Look, she's even more grand than Landlord Liu's grandma."

Although Su Huiniang didn't know who she was referring to as the grandma of Landlord Liu's family, she still joked with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, when your younger brother gets the honor, you will be a veritable old lady." Wen, Lin immediately burst into laughter again, shook his head and said: "Mother doesn't want those extravagantly, as long as you two are well, mother will be satisfied."

The conversation between the two reached Su Wen behind him lightly, but he clenched his fists hard, and the look in his eyes became more determined.

After happily selling these things, Su Huiniang went to "Ruyifang" again and sold six handkerchiefs, earning 12 taels of silver. Reluctant to give up, they kept talking about waste, but Su Wen and Wang Qilang ate happily, and Su Huiniang ate a mouthful of stir-fried crescent bones with a smile, um...the fried crescent bone was very crispy, she thought: I should learn more.
