Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 133 Snooping
Wen Shu went to a restaurant on the street and had a big meal. When she got home, Wen Shu took out the waist protector she bought for her father.

Because Wen Tai had heard her talk about it when he was eating, now he saw the waistband in his hand, which was about two feet long and one foot wide, with a pocket sewn in the middle and a medicine bag hidden in it, and he was moved again. Distressed again.

I was moved by my daughter's filial piety, and I felt distressed that the Sanguan money was gone!
After the fire, the family’s only dozen or so savings were almost used up to build the house. Later, Aning suffered from an inexplicable serious illness and spent three or four savings.

Immediately afterwards, he bought new year's goods for the new year. At that time, although he took on a job going to the countryside and got back two pennies, it was only enough to cover the expenses of the new year.

Had it not been for the reward of ten taels of silver for Aning's cooperating with the officials to arrest people on the street, the family would almost have to borrow money to survive.

And since years later.The business in the shop has not been very good. It has only sold a pair of coffins in the past two months. After excluding the cost and labor, the money earned is less than two guan.

Now the family is full of games and calculations, and it is only a little over eleven.

And the little waist protector in his hand cost three pennies!Can he not feel bad?

But after all, it was my daughter's wish, and there is no reason to return the medicine after buying it, so I can only wear it happily and distressed.

Seeing that her father didn't say anything about returning it, Wen Shu was very happy. After a while, she asked expectantly: "Father, how is it? Do you feel better about your waist?"

Wen Tai felt it carefully, but he didn't feel any difference.

However, seeing the concerned look on my daughter's face, I couldn't bear her disappointment, so I could only boast against my will: "It's not bad, it feels warm. After wearing it, my waist really feels much better."

"Yeah, I just said it's useful." Wen Shu showed a smug face, "I told you to buy it a long time ago, if you don't listen, or you don't have to suffer for so long."

Wen Tai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, go to bed after washing up, you don't feel tired after a day's driving."

The father and daughter talked again, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, just after dawn, Wen Shu opened his eyes. There was still a lot to do today, so he couldn't snooze.

Getting off the familiar bed, she sighed and stretched.

Still sleep comfortably at home!

Last night, she practiced archery for another half an hour in the world of mountains and seas. With the continuous improvement of her technique and eyesight, although her archery skills are still far from the hundred-step piercing Yang, she can hit the knot most of the time.

After a simple wash, she plunged into the kitchen. Although there were no fresh vegetables in the house, there was still no shortage of flour and pickled radish.

Not long after, she brought two steaming bowls of sour radish and bacon noodles to the table.

The deserted family was popular again, and Father Wen was in a good mood, he ate the noodles in a hurry, gave Wen Shu half a copper coin to let her go to buy vegetables, and went to work ahead humming a little song.

Wen Shu didn't refuse either. Although she had money, the money could not be cleared. She even made a fuss about the three rounds of money for waist protection, saying that she brought out the second round of money from Beijing. The girl rewarded some more to make up enough.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, they put them away in the kitchen, and went back to the room to change into the skirt that she hadn't worn for a long time. Then, with a fruit in her mouth, she hired a car and went to the Marquis of Weiyuan.

Mrs. Lu said that the IOUs are collected by Guanshi Lu, and she is going to collect the IOUs today.The task has been completed, and the IOU should be brought back earlier for peace of mind.

Two quarters of an hour later, the side entrance of Hou Mansion.

Lu Xi smiled and took out the IOU from his cuff, "The little lady has returned safely this time and has successfully completed the task. I am really gratified."

"It's thanks to Steward Lu." Wen Shu responded with a smile, and quickly opened the IOU in his hand to read it.

Seeing that the content was correct and the fingerprints were correct, he tore up the IOU on the spot.The IOU was gone, and she was light with no debts. She felt that the sky was blue at this moment!
After exchanging a few words with Guanshi Lu, Wen Shu said goodbye and left, then turned around and went to the nearby jade shop.

It seems that the private school will start in ten days, but the tuition fee is still a big difference. Now her whole body is no more than five pennies, which is not a little short of thirty pennies.

She wanted to continue studying, firstly because she wanted to learn something more, and secondly because Master Li had the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Xiaoxing said that as long as she accumulates [-] points, she can start fixed-point teleportation and lingering time, but the premise is that she has to understand that world.

Otherwise, how would she know which mountains are inside?What else is there on the mountain?Which mountain has what she wants, and which mountain has fierce beasts haunting it.

As for being able to gather so much money in a short period of time, she thought about it again and again, except for the jade she just got, there is nothing else.

This jade store in the south of the city is called Zhouji. It is a two-story shop with three doors. The agarwood counters are filled with jade articles of various shapes and exquisite carvings, ranging from jade pendants and jade hairpins to food items. There are everything from jade bowls and lamps to jade ornaments placed on the desk.

At this time, in the store, there were a few customers standing or sitting looking at the jade in twos and threes, and the shop assistants introduced them attentively.Wen Shu looked down at his clothes and felt that he would not be too picky in this luxurious place, so he walked in with confidence.

As soon as she entered, an idle clerk saw her and immediately asked: "Young lady, do you want to buy jade? I don't know what kind of jade you want to buy? May I help you introduce it?"

Wen Shu pondered for a while: "I want to see a jade pendant, but what kind of styles are there, and what is the selling price?"

"Does the lady use it for herself or as a gift?"

"For personal use."

"The little lady, please look over here. Here are the styles that women often wear, like this auspicious grass twirling pendant, which means wealth, auspiciousness, peace and joy. Many young ladies will buy a pressed box before they get married."

What the man said is not nonsense. It is popular nowadays to marry generously. Generally, as long as the family can live well, when the daughter gets married, a few gold and silver jewelry will be prepared in the dowry.Of course, if he could buy one or two pieces of jade pendant, it would be even more embarrassing.

So even though the guy saw that Wen Shu was dressed very plainly, and he didn't look down on Wen Shu who was not a daughter of a wealthy family, he still seriously introduced her.

"It's really good. I don't know the selling price."

"Twenty guan." After the clerk finished speaking, he glanced at her expression again, seeing that the clothes could only be considered middle-class, he was afraid that she would think it was expensive, so he continued, "However, there are activities in the shop recently, if the lady buys it now If so, you can give me two zippers with silver beads."

Luozi with silver beads?Wen Shu felt relieved.

If she really came to buy the jade pendant, she would be moved after hearing this, but...
Twenty!
Although she didn't understand jade, she could tell from the position of the jade and the look of the shop assistant that this jade was definitely the most common and cheapest kind in the shop.But such an ordinary piece of jade pendant can be sold for twenty pieces!
Calculated in this way, even if all the stones in her storage basket were made of ordinary materials, it would still cost a lot of money to sell them!
