Chapter 142 II.
Tian Erya was very happy: "According to the estimated distance, your brother has just arrived in Ninggu Tower. It would be great if we could know his current situation."

Zheng Jiaqi nodded: "Shizu will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of my brother. He has a wide network of resources, I believe there will be news, you can wait at ease."

Tian Erya sighed softly: "I forge scissors here every day, and my mind is restless. What I hope most is your brother's safety."

"I guess you have the same thought in your heart. Shizu originally wanted to wait for him to come back from the Northeast and find out about my brother before telling you. But, I think, if I let you know that someone went there to inquire about my brother , you'll be happier."

"Of course, in this way, I also have a thought in my heart, so I won't feel sad."

Zheng Jiaqi fiddled with the scissors on the desk: "One more thing, Shizu said that the Northeast only produces grain and soybeans, and lacks iron tools. He can bring some scissors for you to sell. You can bring him two baskets of scissors."

Tian Erya hesitated: "A basket of scissors is also quite heavy, will it cause trouble for Shizu?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, they are also taking boats and horse-drawn carriages, so they don't need to carry their own shoulders. He will transport a lot of silk and Juan cloth to the northeast, and he doesn't care about your one or two baskets of scissors. Shizu said that if the market can be opened, it can help You sell more scissors."

Tian Erya smiled: "I slapped your ancestor a few times before, thinking that he would hate me very much, but I didn't expect him to be willing to help me. He really has a lot of adults."

Zheng Jiaqi also smiled: "Shizu is not such a narrow-minded person. Thanks to your two slaps for waking him up, now he is particularly hardworking."

"As he made progress, I followed suit."

Zheng Jiaqi glanced at the old man Tian who glanced at her from time to time, and whispered: "Your father is very strict with you now! I'm afraid someone will kidnap you and run away."

"He's like that, don't worry about it."

"I don't blame him either. My brother is a prisoner, and you still have deep affection for him. If it were any other family, they would not want their daughter to associate with him. I understand how uncle feels."

"You are very kind, and you can put yourself in other people's shoes." Tian Erya counted the scissors, "When will Shizu leave? The scissors here can hold a basket and a half."

"He's leaving the morning of the day after tomorrow. You still have some time to prepare. Tomorrow night, Shizu will send a young man to pick it up." Zheng Jiaqi remembered a little, and quickly said, "However, Shizu can't give you the money in advance, and you have to wait for your money." After the scissors are sold, I will give you silver."

"It's natural. If you tell Shizu, I will give him a commission. Every pair of scissors will be distributed to him..."

Zheng Jiaqi interrupted her: "Sister Erya, if our family doesn't say this, Shizu already thought that you would not make him busy. He said that if you want to give him a commission, he will not sell scissors for you. If you If you insist on giving him money, that would be to slap him in the face!"

"Then I won't mention the money. Thank you for his kindness."

"Sister Erya, I've already said everything I need to say, I have to go back first, the child is waiting at home!"

"Go slowly." Tian Erya was about to see her off, but was stopped by Old Man Tian.

The old man Tian's face was gloomy: "I think this lady is Zheng Yuansheng's younger sister. My Erya and your elder brother have no three matchmaking and six engagements. They have formally established a marriage contract. I hope you will come here less often in the future, so as not to cause others to misunderstand you. Ya is very close to your family."

"Father." Tian Erya was angry.

"Don't talk too much, it's for your own good that I tell Miss Zheng's family clearly."

"I do not need……"

"Sister Erya, Uncle is doing it for your own good. You must not get into conflict with Uncle because of me." Zheng Jiaqi bowed to Old Man Tian: "Uncle, I was the one who was rude, and I will not go against your wishes in the future. All the best to you."

Old man Tian saw her leaving Shi Shiran, and sighed again and again: "Misses from rich and noble families are different. They are generous, decent and elegant, and their voice is soft, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at them. Erya, you have to learn from others, you You have to be aware of the gap between you and other people. Just like you, you do rough work in the countryside and cannot enter the door of a rich family. Don’t forget that you and Zheng Yuansheng share the same difficulties. You can marry him and share the same life after he recovers. Wealth and wealth. A big family wants a lady like Miss Zheng, so you are worthy of being a poor servant girl. The most important thing about a man is self-knowledge, so don't overestimate your capabilities."

Tian Erya ignored it, counted the hanging scissors, and began to think about how to increase the number of forged scissors. She started forging more scissors in the middle of the night.

at night.

After Tie Zhu finished washing, he lay on the bed and heard the clanging sound, got up and looked into the yard.

Cuicui blew out the oil lamp: "Don't look, it's Erya blacksmithing in the shed."

"It's too late. She will disturb the neighbors if she continues to operate like this. You tell her to stop and do it tomorrow."

"She knows in her heart that she won't disturb others. Listen, isn't the knocking sound much quieter?"

Tie Zhu was dissatisfied, and put on his clothes and got out of bed: "She stopped beating, but she started sharpening the scissors again. Listening to the sound of sharpening the scissors, my heart trembled."

Cui Cui held him back: "Erya is feeling bored, so you can let her go! Don't worry about your father not being promoted yet. If you can't sleep, cover your head with a quilt and sleep."

Tie Zhu had no choice but to go back to the kang to sleep.

Old man Tian watched his daughter busy in the shed through the window, picked up the sickle under the pillow and hesitated, lay down angrily, and covered his head with the quilt.

After two whole nights of busy work, Tian Erya finally filled two large bamboo baskets with scissors, and after Chen Shizu sent someone to take them away,

Thinking day and night, waiting for his news.

Five months later.

When Tian Erya waited eagerly, she finally heard that Chen Shizu had returned,

Very happy.She waited at home, but only waited until Chen Shizu sent someone to give him money.She asked the other party about Zheng Yuansheng's news, the other party shook his head, put down the money and ran away.

Seeing his daughter receiving dozens of taels of silver, Old Man Tian's eyes lit up with greed: "Ah, you have something to tell your brother and me, and let us make some money."

"I dare not tell you about things I'm not sure about." Tian Erya put the money away with her back to him.She waited at home for another two days, but before Zheng Jiaqi or Chen Shizu sent someone to send her a message, she couldn't help but quietly left the shop and went to Chen's house.

Chen Shizu was about to go out when he saw her startled and let her in: "Jiaqi, Sister Erya is here."

Zheng Jiaqi was coaxing the child in the house. Hearing this, she handed the child to the nanny and walked over with a look of embarrassment on her face: "Sister Erya, why are you here?"

Tian Erya stuffed a bag of candies over: "I heard that Shizu came back from the Northeast, so I came here to have a look. Shizu, do you have any news about Zheng Yuansheng?"
