Rebirth of First Daughter

Hearing that tie Hu was going to the town, tie Kui asked strangely, "Daddy, what are you going to do in the town?" If it is not something, Iron Tiger will not go to town

"Sell the tiger skin."

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Daddy, if you want to sell tiger skin, you can't sell it in the town. It's too bad."

Hearing this, tie Hu looks at tie Kui.

"Dad, although the price Chen Ji shop gave us was more reasonable, it was also relative to other people in the town. But actually we sell leather very cheaply With that, tie Kui gave an example: "if the last complete sheepskin was in the capital, it would be at least seventy-eight Liang, but we could only get one or two yuan." For ordinary people, one or two dollars and silver are already a lot, but tie Kui thinks their skin has been sold at a low price.

Hear the capital two words, Iron Tiger heart a Deng. My son has a wide range of knowledge and intelligence, and he has a very plain tone when talking about the capital. It is very likely that he is from the capital.

Suppressing his fright, tie Hu said, "kuizi, you said it was the capital. I'm afraid it will take me a month or two to get to the capital! And on the way, it's not peaceful. "

Tie Kui said: "Daddy, the capital is far away from us, but Shengjing is not far away. Even walking to Shengjing, it's only half a month. "

Iron tiger asked: "do you mean to take tiger skin to Shengjing to sell? But the road is not peaceful. It's not safe for us to go there. What's more, if you take it to Shengjing, you may not be able to get a good price. "

Tie Kui said with a smile: "definitely not now. We'll go again at the end of October. It will be cold and the leather will sell well Naturally, the price will not be lower.

After hesitating, tie Kui said, "if I take it to town, this tiger skin can be sold for 134 taels of silver. If you take it to Shengjing, how much money do you think you can sell? "

"This tiger skin is very complete. It can sell at least 300 taels of silver." If you are in the capital, you may not be able to buy a thousand taels of silver. Unfortunately, the price of leather in Liaodong is not high.

If you are afraid of death, you dare not be a hunter. Iron Tiger a listen to can sell double price, without thinking to say: "good, then we go to Shengjing." More than 170 taels of silver, he may not praise it for ten years. Besides, the money was exchanged by life. A trip to Shengjing can be more dangerous than fighting tigers.

The next time, iron tiger is at home. Tiekui heard that there were wild boars on the mountain. He ran to the mountain and dug some traps. Unfortunately, he didn't even hit a small wild boar. It was father Li who got a wild boar of 1780 Jin. They didn't sell it to the town, but sold it to the villagers.

Tie Kui is not reconciled and goes out early and comes back late every day. Unfortunately, he catches two pheasants and a mountain rat. They didn't sell any wild animals. They ate them by themselves.

Tiehu and tiekui are at home, so the sisters don't have to be so tired, but Chunxiang and Chunni don't like to worry. If iron tiger can't hunt, it has no income. There is not much food left at home now. How can we spend this winter.

Although the family stored a large number of pumpkins, wax gourds, dried vegetables, peanuts, beans and other things. But these things can't make her hungry. She doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't save more food at home.

This evening, Chunxiang summoned up the courage to ask: "Daddy, how much money do you have at home? Should we save some grain for the winter

Iron Tiger said with a smile: "is it difficult to be afraid that your father is starving you?"

Seeing the tangle on Chunni's face, tie Kui said with a smile: "don't worry, I have bought 600 Jin of grain, and I will carry it back after winter." Because at the end of October, they are going to travel far away. There are only Chunxiang and Chunni at home. It's not safe to put so much food at home. So I agreed with the seller to get the grain at the end of November.

Hearing this, Chunni was relieved.

Iron Tiger looked at a lot of thin Chunni said: "you and Chunxiang don't be too tired, my father can support you." During this period of time, the two sisters are busy inside and outside for a moment. He always let the two children have more rest, but he didn't listen.

Chunni said with a smile: "Daddy, I'm not tired with my elder sister." Although they do a lot of things, but they can eat and wear warm, and Iron Tiger never beat them. Compared with many girls in the village, their sisters are very lucky.

This period of time, is Chunni sensible since the most comfortable. Even though they are tired day by day, the two sisters have gained some weight during this period.

Iron Tiger is not good at words, silent said: "you rest assured, father will give you save a rich dowry."

Come whatever you want.

The next evening, a guest came to Tiehu's house. Chunni saw the visitor and said with a smile, "aunt osmanthus, why are you here?" The woman's surname is Li, and her name is Osmanthus fragrans. Her husband and tie Hu are of the same generation. But Tiehu didn't deal with her. She was just familiar with her.

In Chunni's introduction, iron tiger just know each other's identity: "osmanthus sister-in-law, please sit down." Since the other party came, something must have happened.

Chunxiang brought a cup of hot water, put it down and went out.

Li Guihua didn't beat around the Bush either. He made his future meaning clear. She came here this time to say goodbye to his mother's nephew: "my nephew is 15 years old, one year older than Chunxiang. It's not my boast. My nephew is a good-looking man. He is also a good farmer. I really like Chunxiang, and I told my sister-in-law about it. If you feel better, I'll bring my nephew to you in two days. "

Sitting on one side of tie Kui heard this, his face was not good-looking, and he said: "aunt, my elder sister is still young, my father is going to stay her for another two years."

Li Guihua's heart stagnated, but she said to Tiehu with a smile: "brother, Chunxiang is 14 years old this year, and she will be 16 years old if she stays for another two years. A 16-year-old girl is an old girl before she talks about others. Elder brother, you can't delay the children

Tie Hu shook his head and said, "I've got my sister-in-law's kindness, but I'm going to stay for another two years." Although I don't know why tie Kui said that, there must be a reason for his son to speak.

Li Guihua's face is not pretty. She was boasting to her mother's sister-in-law that she would be able to make the match. As a result, the iron family was rejected.

After Li Guihua went out, tie Hu asked tie Kui, "what's wrong with this sister-in-law's nephew?"

Tie Hu shook his head and said, "when people come to visit, they always talk first. She's very good. She said in a hurry that she wanted someone to show us. It's not right to hear that. " It's time for people to come to the door. People who don't know the details think they've taken a fancy to it and are ready to make an engagement.

Iron Tiger said: "you two elder sister's marriage, at that time you give to guard." A lot of things, he did not tie Kui think carefully.

Marriage did not say, Li Guihua by the mother's sister-in-law complain, go home more think more not reconciled. Then, the Iron Tiger will be ready to spring fragrance to stay a few years, this matter said out.

When Aunt Li got the news, she went to Tiehu and said, "I heard that you are not going to marry Chunxiang for the time being. How many years do you want to keep her at home? Huzi, that's not good. If the girl's family wants to miss Huaxing, it's hard to find a good marriage in the future. "

Iron Tiger some puzzled to say: "even if Chunxiang sixteen say, it's not too late!" 28, it is the time of cardamom, which has passed the apricot.

To find out the reason, Aunt Li said, "fortunately you didn't answer, or you would have hurt Chunxiang."

"What? What's wrong with Sister Li's nephew? "

Aunt Li shook her head and said, "that's not true. The three boys of the Li family are very good. They are good-looking and diligent. But the Li family had three sons, and they had only three acres of good land and five acres of dry land. In front of the two sons married owe a butt of debt, up to now there are still more than half not paid. Also, the two wives of the Li family are very shrewd. Chunxiang has a soft temper. How can she have a good life married to the Li family? "

The Li family is not only poor, but also full of people. No one who loves his daughter will marry her to such a family.

Tiehu said with some annoyance: "sister-in-law, Chunxiang should talk about others. But I don't know many people. There's no woman in charge at home, and I'm worried, too. "

Aunt Li said with a smile, "don't worry. Chunxiang is good-looking and diligent. You can't worry about finding a good family."

Aunt Li helped refute the rumors, and soon she helped to talk to her parents. But the object of this marriage is not the family is very poor, or the man has a disability, or the man's mother is particularly mean. Anyway, none of them satisfied Tiehu.

I know that it's because Jin's family has been divorced, so there's no good family to ask for marriage. Tiehu regrets that he shouldn't divorce his wife. But now that it's over, it's no use regretting.

Tiekui's idea is different: "Dad, when we sell the tiger skin, we will buy two mu more land. At that time, I will tell people that we will marry my eldest sister for two acres of land. I don't worry that there will be no good family to ask for marriage. " In the face of interests, who cares if the girl's mother is divorced.

Iron Tiger shook his head and said: "can for two acres of land door-to-door marriage, visible also is not a good family."

This idea is also right, tie Kui said: "don't worry, Dad, elder sister is so good, I'm sure I can find a good family."

Tiehu sighed, blaming him for his thoughtlessness.

At the end of October, tie Hu told the village head and Tong that the father and son were going to travel far away, and then said that he wanted to invite Tong to live in their house for a month.

"Where are you going?" Tong asked

"We are going to Shengjing to do some business. It may take about a month to go back and forth." As for what to do specifically, I did not say.

Tong did not ask much, just said: "Chunxiang and Chunni are big girls, during this period of time during the day I let ershui brother accompany them." I'm not afraid to have her to accompany me at night.

Ershui, Tong's third grandson, is 12 years old. There is a boy to follow, not afraid of what dirty people bully the two sisters.

There are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, and there are some scum who always want to take advantage of women in Tiejia village. Although Tiehu and tiekui have a good reputation, it's better to take precautions when they go out.

Iron Tiger a face feel ground say: "thank nine granny." So, men are always not considerate. Even tie Kui didn't think of this layer.

Father and son were on their way the next day. It's cold when I go out. I can't sleep if I don't have a fire. However, Tiehu has been used to the life in the wild, but tiekui is not used to it. Fortunately, he doesn't have to watch at night, so he can sleep well.

After eight days' walking, they arrived at Shengjing. After paying the entrance fee, they went to Shengjing.

Although Tiehu is in his thirties, he has been to the county as far as possible. So as soon as he entered Shengjing City, he was dazzled by the crowds, shops and stalls.

After walking for a long time, Tiehu said, "kuizi, where are we going to sell leather?" He can't understand what people here say, and he can't read. How can he know where to sell leather.

Tie Kui said with a smile: "Daddy, let's find an inn to stay, and then ask the shopkeeper where the fur shop is."

Father and son searched for a little while and found a small inn. After entering, tie Kui and Xiao er said, "we're going to stay." It's Mandarin, of course.

Listening to this pure Mandarin, even though tie Kui was poorly dressed, the second child did not dare to despise him: "my guest, two liang silver for a superior room, one or two for a medium room, and one or two for a inferior room. Datong shop, 80 Wen per person. " It's still a small inn with a relatively small location. If it's a big one in a prosperous area, even the inferior rooms will cost two or three Liang silver.

"A medium-sized room, please." There's nothing in the second class room, just one bed. It's better to spend 600 Wen more, at least have a hot bath!

Father and son took a hot bath to get rid of their fatigue. Tie Kui said: "Daddy, I went to buy some food. By the way, I asked which shop in Shengjing bought fur." Only the best rooms serve meals, and they have to go out and find food themselves. Although the tiger skin is wrapped tightly, it is always inappropriate to take things out and in.

Tiehu nodded and said, "good."

About an hour later, tie Kui came back with six big meat buns and four scallion oil cakes.

Iron Tiger some worry ground asks a way: "how to go so long?"? Is it that those people are not easy to talk When you come to the city from the countryside, you always feel a little timid.

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "no, just to be on the safe side, I asked a lot of people. Dad, I've already inquired about it. There's a fur shop in the name of Yongsheng business. Their store has a good reputation. We'll go to their house tomorrow and sell leather. " Most people say that. The price of this store should be more reasonable.

Because tie Kui went to this house yesterday and knew how to get there. Early in the morning, the father and son left the room and passed without breakfast.

At the door, I saw someone carrying goods to the carriage. It's clear that we are going to transport goods outside.

After entering the shop, the sophomore came up. The attitude was very good. There was no arrogance.

Tie Kui said, "we are here to sell leather. I don't know where your shopkeeper is."

Little two is a little surprised. He seems to be a hunter's child, but he speaks authentic Beijing dialect. What's more, I didn't feel timid when I entered their shop. In the heart some feel puzzled, on the surface actually half does not show: "you two wait a moment, I immediately invite the shopkeeper to come."
