Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 837: Touching Porcelain (4)
Mammy Yu sighed softly, "Miss, originally I thought the medicine was not bitter, but one day I was curious, so I tasted it..."

Seeing that Mammy Yu's eyebrows and eyes were tangled together, Qingli knew that the medicine was very bitter, and good medicine was good for the disease. It seemed that she wanted to buy wild honey because of Ophiopogon japonicus. After Mammy Yu arrived in Pingyang, she changed a lot.

The three continued to walk. This time, Mai Ya and Nanny Yu paid attention to the wild honey together, but to their disappointment, they went all the way from one side to the other, but they didn't see anyone selling it. When they came back, the three went around to the other side. A street, there is also a small market here, and there are small shops on both sides.

"Miss, there is a lot of noise in front, it seems that someone is scolding."

The three of Qingli's master and servant made a detour to inquire about the current grain prices. The newly harvested grain had just arrived, and the military supplies of the Northern Army had not dispatched much grain and grass from Pingyang. The war had little impact on the people. The three of them had just arrived At the grain shop, I heard a woman's crying indistinctly in front of me.

"Miss, isn't that the girl who just bought honey?"

Yu Yu's eyes were sharp, there was a small gap in the crowd, she saw the corner of her dress was exposed, the girl who bought honey just now was sitting on the ground sobbing, as if begging for mercy, and beside her stood a man with two moustache The skinny little old man, with his hips on his hips, is very imposing.

Mammy Yu was a little frustrated when she couldn't buy wild honey, but she had a good impression of the girl just now.After visiting the market, she bought a few sweet preserved fruits, as well as the special winter melon strips of the Northland, and wanted to go back and drink medicine for Ophiopogon japonicus to sweeten her mouth.

The girl in the floral dress sat on the ground, wiped her tears with her hands, and begged repeatedly, "Shopkeeper, please, let me take it easy, just a few days, I will make do with the money and pay you back." of!"

"No, no, girl, we never do business on credit. You broke the most precious teapot in the store. The price is 17 taels, and you are only asked to pay 15 taels. You are an old man and kind!"

The little old man with two mustaches kept looking at the woman on the ground with treacherous eyes, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

"I said Shopkeeper Xu, it's not easy for other female dolls. They all live in this area, so you can't wait for a few days? Her brother is still a sick child! Aren't you driving people to a dead end!"

The surrounding people are familiar with them, and they sighed in place. The world is hard, they live in the market, they have no land, and they can’t work in winter. They can only save enough money before Maodong, otherwise they can’t afford it in winter. For firewood, you have to walk to the surrounding hills to cut firewood.

"That's right, shopkeeper Xu, her elder brother was originally a bodyguard teacher, and his family was also rich, but something happened, and his family was emptied. It turns out that Ma Laosan is also a good person, and he even walked through the bodyguard in your shop, and he didn't even ask for it." Your money, how can you be such a person!"

The common people talked a lot, looking at the crying woman on the ground, with sympathy in their eyes, 15 taels of silver, no matter what, no one can afford so much, if it is forced, the Ma family can only sell the property, the family The son was exiled to the ruined temple, and winter is about to begin, isn't it going to kill people?

"Why don't you know how to be a man? Ma Laosan did pass by the dart, and he helped her along the way. Besides, didn't the old man make her lose money according to the cost of money? The old man's things were not brought by the strong wind. Why are they treated differently!"

Shopkeeper Xu raised his beard and jumped on the spot. The girl in the floral dress cried for a moment, wiped her tears with her hands and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, I broke the teapot. One person does the work and the other takes care of it. How much should I pay?" I will not renege on money, but please allow me a few days, and I will definitely find a way."

"Glennity, grace, you will have money? Who doesn't know the conditions of your family, bad luck!"

Shopkeeper Xu was aggressive, with calculations in his eyes, Qing Li felt that the matter was not that simple, but Yu Mammy and Mai Dong sighed, a small shabby grocery store with 15 taels of teapots, just for show?There are ordinary people around here, who is willing to spend so much money to buy something that can't be eaten or worn.

"Don't tell the old man that you must pay back the money. What do you use to pay it back? Sell yourself to pay off the debt? Now that a big family in Pingyang recruits a servant girl who has died, can you give me 15 taels of silver?"

Shopkeeper Xu chattered endlessly, and the people around shook their heads again and again. After all, it was the girl from the Ma family who broke the treasure of shopkeeper Xu, a teapot. It is worse.

"Shopkeeper Xu, don't worry, even if you sell yourself, you will definitely pay back."

Girl Ma slowly got up from the ground, picked up the small jar of wild honey beside her, she smiled sadly, and begged, "If you let me write an IOU first, send the things home, and then find a tooth, my brother is at this time It's time to drink medicine."

It was already noon, but the sky suddenly darkened, and when the cold wind blew, Nanny Yu and Mai Dong shrunk their necks together, rubbed their hands together, and didn't want to continue watching the fun, thinking to themselves, Miss Pingri doesn't like to meddle in business, but today she is Abnormal.

"Sell yourself?"

Shopkeeper Xu rolled his eyes, and smiled on his face, which was completely different from the domineering attitude just now. He pretended to be kind and said, "My youngest son has not married a wife yet. If you are willing to marry into our Xu family..."

As soon as these words came out, the people around were dumbfounded. Everyone knew that shopkeeper Xu had some problems. He had an affair with his cousin and had a silly son. He was like a baby on weekdays. His youngest son was also in his twenties. His intelligence is about the same as that of the third child, and he is playing hide-and-seek with the maid all day long, or playing with kisses.

"I will sell myself as a maid to pay off my debts."

Miss Ma flatly refused, which stepped on shopkeeper Xu's painful feet. He yelled, "The Ma family is a shabby family, what kind of family do you want to marry, and you still don't agree to be my youngest son's wife? What, you want to work for a rich family Young Mistress? Don’t take a pee and take a photo. If that’s the case, you should pay the money now, otherwise, we’ll see the officials!”

The situation took a turn for the worse, and the eyes of the surrounding people were full of sympathy, and they were also anxious. The Ma family is also a good family, and it cannot be ruined like this.But every household uses copper plates, and I have never seen any silver, and I can't help if I try my best. 15 taels is really terrible, so I can only do it in a hurry.

"Let's go, Nanny Yu, Mai Ya, let's also go to this shop to see the baby."

Qingli didn't want to be nosy at first, but she couldn't see the villain succeeding, every time she saw such a scene, she felt a toothache, and today was the Double Ninth Festival, so she thought that she didn't want to see this old man relying on the old and selling the old, and wanted to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

In the shop, it was a mess, full of things worth a few pennies, rows of wooden cabinets, on which were some coarse porcelain teapots and bowls, wooden basins, wooden barrels, and some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, trivial daily necessities In one corner, there are broken porcelain pieces all over the ground, which should be the so-called treasure of the store that Miss Ma accidentally knocked over.
