Who understands? I took the library with me to farm

Chapter 9 Rich! Consumption!
  He Miao couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what disease did Yuen Long suffer from? It looked like he was really better than a scholar just now."

"Hey, I feel sad when I talk about this. The third child has been smart since he was a child. He was always praised by his teacher when he was in school, saying that he has a good brain and a photographic memory.

The whole family thought that he would be able to become an official in the future. Who would have thought that when he was twelve years old, he somehow fell off a cliff and found himself like this when he woke up. "

The sad memories were brought back, and Feng Liu's eyes were red.

"It seems that he broke his brain. Then why don't you go see a doctor and get treatment?" He Miao was puzzled.

"The third child is nineteen this year. He has been cured of his illness for six years. He drank a lot of bitter medicine and spent a lot of money, but he is not getting better at all.

Hanging around with a medicine jar every day, the marriage was also delayed. Last winter, your father and I decided not to treat it. "

Speaking of this, Feng Liu's eyes showed a hint of joy.

"It's strange. As soon as the medicine stopped, good news came from the matchmaker, and then as soon as spring started, you came in."

He Miao: "..."

If Feng Yuanlang had an ordinary person's mind, he would probably have to say: "Mom, dad, I can still cure him!"

The hippocampus in his brain must still store memories that can be restarted. He Miao thought about unlocking more medical books in the library in the future and finding ways to cure him.

"I don't want to anymore! Isn't this great now!" Mrs. Feng Liu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and took out a money bag embroidered with bamboo leaves from her arms.

He carefully counted the eighty copper coins he received from selling the pillow cover, put it back, tied the bag tightly, and put it in his pocket again.

He muttered: "This is your second sister-in-law's money. Give it to her in full when you go back. Your second sister-in-law, her parents died when she was young, and she and her sister lived together. Fortunately, they can do embroidery, and they grew up pulling each other." , It’s a hard life.”

He Miao nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder Chen Xiu'e is so evil-minded and has been struggling to survive since she was a child.

"After we sell these eggs in a while, mother will take you to pull a piece of cloth to make a new dress, and then buy you some rouge and gouache.

The dressing shelves in your house are all empty, and your mother is just waiting for you to come and buy them according to your wishes.

If there is still time, I will buy you a few more pieces of jewelry, and I will take a couple of pieces to your sister-in-law and the others along the way. I am very happy. "

He Miao heard that he was going to buy jewelry, so he silently found two books on ancient jewelry appreciation in the library and did some homework while he was free.

During the New Year in modern time and space, Grandma He Miao would take her to a gold store to buy New Year gifts. She was used to searching for identification tutorials on various software in advance, for fear of being cheated.

Mrs. Feng Liu was very curious when she saw her daughter-in-law holding a book with words and reading it.

"Eh? When your Aunt Zhou was proposing to marry me, she told me that you had never read a book since you were a child and you couldn't read a single Chinese character. Just now at the restaurant, you asked shopkeeper Tao to help you write the recipe. Is this...?"

He Miao smiled awkwardly: "Hey, when I was young, I learned a lot from my neighbor's grandfather and could read some simple books. My parents didn't know about this and never explained it to the matchmaker."

In fact, she just asked Shopkeeper Tao to copy the prescription just because she couldn't write with a brush and was afraid of showing her cowardice.

"Our old Feng family has really found a treasure! Not only can he wield a knife and a shovel, but he is also eloquent and can actually read." Mrs. Feng Liu cast an appreciative look and did not go into details.

Feng Liu wiped the eggs in the basket one by one with a soft cloth. They looked good and the price was cheap. They were sold out in less than two quarters of an hour.

Ms. Feng Liu was very satisfied and took her two children into the tailor shop.

"Look at your clothes, which are piled with patches. The material is already rough, and it's been ruined by washing. Your stepmother really doesn't care about it. She wants to make more clothes today." She tugged on He Miao's body distressedly. of commoners. I picked and selected, and finally ordered three new sets of clothes tailored to my needs.

A set of kudzu short brown crotch pants, convenient for daily work; a set of pomegranate red petticoats, which are more decent to wear when visiting guests;

Making three sets of clothes in one go is something a country person would never dare to think of.

Mrs. Feng Liu paid the deposit without hesitation and just waited until she came to town next time to pick up the clothes.

He Miao thought that the hard-working and frugal persona could not be broken, so she asked weakly: "Mom, the eggs are not sold for much money. Isn't this too wasteful?"

"What's the matter? You can spend it if you can earn it. Don't worry, my mother has enough money." Ms. Feng Liu patted her waist to reassure her daughter-in-law.

Passing by a stall selling makeup noodles, Ms. Feng Liu grabbed He Miao and said, "Quick, you don't have anything in your makeup box. Hurry up and pick a few things!"

"Mom, I don't like dressing up. Besides, I don't go out very often. Applying makeup and makeup would be troublesome."

He Miao meant it sincerely. She didn't like makeup in the first place because she thought the pores on her face were clogged.

"You really don't need these vulgar things for your handsome face, but you can't lack the things that a woman should have. Maybe one day you will think of it and want to wipe it on a few times."

Under the instigation of her mother-in-law, He Miao chose a few basic rouges and gouache. Feng Liu was not partial and chose the same set for the other two daughters-in-law and younger daughters.

It was still early, so I went to the condiment shop "Wuxiangju" to buy daily condiments. Salt, sugar, sauce and vinegar were not cheap in the Dayan Dynasty, and some types were even more expensive than oil.

After selecting and buying a few items, he put them all in the empty basket. Feng Yuanlang took the initiative to carry them and followed his mother and daughter-in-law obediently to continue shopping.

There were also many stalls selling jewelry in the market. Feng Liu was not satisfied with any of them, so she finally led her two children into the "Gu Pan Pavilion".

This is a famous jewelry shop in Qingyuan Town. There are many good things in it and the prices are certainly not low.

The jewelry store has many windows and plenty of light. The gold and silver jewelry are shining brightly.

It was the first time that Feng Liu had set foot in such a "high-consumption place", feeling uncomfortable all over and walking with the same hands and feet.

The shopkeeper's wife, Gu Manniang, had quick eyesight and was very good at recognizing people and things. From a distance, she saw three "bumpkins", one old, two young and young, walking straight into the store.

This looks like a countryman who has never seen anything good, but has some money in his pocket and plans to buy something for his new wife.

It's best to fool this kind of person, she twisted her waist to meet him.

"Auntie, are you bringing your son and daughter-in-law to buy a house? You really came to the right place. We have everything you need here."

Gu Manniang entertained the guests warmly, and filled the counter with brocade boxes with quick hands and feet.

There are two rows of boxes containing regular styles of hairpins, gold hairpins, jade bracelets, and earrings, as well as necklaces, rockers, and necklaces that ordinary people cannot use at all.

He Miao fiddled with them one by one, but none of them were to his liking, except for a pair of gilt earrings inlaid with turquoise that were quite elegant.

"Mom, I think these earrings are okay. The color is elegant and not too showy."

Feng Liu picked up the earrings, gestured to He Miao's ears, nodded and said, "Well, the color is translucent, which makes your skin look even whiter."
