Chapter 129

As soon as the first and second grades are over, everyone is busy steaming steamed buns to visit relatives. Generally, everyone marks a "ten" on the dough, so that the steamed steamed buns will crack and bloom.

The method here in Xiayang Village is to add some sugar to it, and call these steamed buns with "flowers" as hair buns, presumably for the meaning of sweetness and congratulations on getting rich.

Hey, actually Xiu Niang couldn't figure it out, this place and customs, even in modern times, are still so particular, let alone in this ancient time, anyway, she has traveled here, so she can only do as the Romans do.

Originally, as a young girl, she was supposed to go to the old generation's house to pay New Year's greetings, let alone a son-in-law. The day before, Xiu Niang was busy steaming steamed buns with sugar and flour, and then picked some good-looking ones and put them in the basket. , and Chu Ge packed up and dressed up, and then they had to go to Shen's.

But Xiuniang still doesn't really want to go, she won't have two minds just because of old father Chu and Mrs. Shen, but isn't there still Mrs. Wen in that room now? She has a big belly and is full of months. It is estimated that she will give birth in a short time. Who in the family will not listen to her at the moment.

Although I don't like her, I can't confront her head-on, I still pick up the good things about the New Year's Eve, and I don't want to be angry...

Hey, thinking of this Xiu Niang frowned, but she still couldn't resist this old man, the Shen's family still had to go, anyway, it was only a matter of time, just bear with it.

Chu Ge looked exactly as Xiu Niang thought, he lingered in the back room for half a while, and after half an hour it was time for dinner, he went out wearing new clothes.

Xiuniang knew that Chu Ge didn't want to go to Shen's for a meal, but now that the two of them have passed by, they only need to stay for a quarter of an hour, and they can get away as soon as the meal is over. Mrs. Chen wouldn't say anything, anyway, Mrs. Shen wouldn't spend an extra penny on herself, let alone a meal.

Because Xiu Niang found a big house for Shen Shi and the others since it came out a few years ago, but she charged a high price, and Chu Ge didn't come forward to manage the meeting, Shen thought that if Chu Ge spoke, the price might drop even more Some, but Chu Ge was also angry at that time, so he didn't ask about this from the beginning to the end, which made Shen very unhappy.

She always thought in her heart that she (Xiuniang) must have added something to the price that Xiuniang quoted, but she herself was not sure how much Xiuniang added, and just for this matter, Shen also approached Liu. Several times, thinking about what to get out of her mouth.

Mrs. Liu also secretly asked Xiuniang about this matter, and she also wanted to know that the big house of Zhuzi's family was bought by someone from a foreign country earlier, but now it has turned around and fell into Xiuniang's hands again. Lie.

Xiuniang had already prepared her heart, and what she said was still the same set of arguments she told Shen earlier, that is, the big house of Zhuzi's family was originally bought by a family in the town, and Xiuniang went to buy it one day. Egg, it happened that I found that family, and the two started chatting about it.

Mrs. Liu saw what Xiuniang said about having a nose and eyes, so she didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, it's not a day or two since Aunt Chu doesn't want to see Xiuniang, so she can talk about it as she likes.

However, if you come back to that, the thing Shen pondered in her heart is really true, and Xiu Niang really made money from her. The big house that Chu Fu bought in the past was actually called Xiu. Mother took care of it, but she entrusted shopkeeper Ren Ertian to help with this matter.

At that time, Xiuniang spent nine taels of silver to buy Zhuzi's big house, because Zhuzi had been clamoring for a long time in the village but no one wanted it, and he was in a hurry to move to another country. Of course, he sold it for money.

At that time, Xiu Niang gave Wen Shi a 25 tael deal, and she earned more than a dozen taels. Anyway, Shen Shi couldn't find the source, so Xiu Niang didn't say anything, and let her go around. The more Shen babbled, the more she would discredit herself, and the more she would make Xiu Niang look good.

The people in that village listened to what Shen said, and they all said a few words in compliance with her, but they started nagging afterward.

Oh, Ren'er Chu Ge's family went to the town to find a big house, and when they arrived, they didn't get any good things to say, but Chu Ge's mother was suspicious and wondered why Ren'er Chu Ge's family took her money.

But why didn’t Chuge’s mother tell me what he had done before? He drove Chugo to Xiayang Village, and when he couldn’t get along with the boss’s family, why didn’t he come to Chuge’s house? Let people find a house for them, Chu Ge's family's willingness is not bad, and they still hate this and that all day long...

Besides, for the ten or so silver that Xiuniang earned from Wen's hand, she is Wen's apology to Chu Ge. Who told her to say that Shen's drove Chu Ge out of the house all those years ago, so that the Chu Ge lived alone with his younger siblings, and suffered a lot.

Afterwards, Xiuniang still regretted a little, she was not cruel enough at that time, otherwise she would have told Wen Shi and the others about ten taels of high... Uh, but Wen Shi was not that stupid, and was willing to spend three to forty taels to buy and sell one room.

"Xiu Niang, what's wrong with you?"

Almost at the Hanchizi, Chu Ge turned his head and wanted to say something to Xiu Niang, but he saw her grinning with a look of disgust.

Xiu Niang came back to her senses and looked at Chu Ge, "What? Oh, no, what's the matter... Hey, it's all here, I haven't noticed yet, so let's go quickly."

Chu Ge looked at her, and replied dumbly, Xiu Niang stepped forward a few steps, and Chu Ge walked together, he thought about it and said, "Xiuniang, I will arrive at Niang's place in a while, maybe her old man I'll talk about something..."

Xiu Niang smiled at Chu Ge, was this fool trying to reassure her? He knew that he would not speak softly to Wen Shi, but now Wen Shi's belly is full, what about Shen Shi and Father Chu? Follow her for everything, and if she and Wen Shi get into trouble for a while, then of course the old couple will follow Wen Shi first.

"You, you are not afraid of what your mother-in-law will say, but what your sister-in-law will say. Hey, really, it's the New Year's Eve, and she's thinking about it, so I just ignore her."

Seeing that Chu Ge seemed to be in disbelief, Xiu Niang smiled half-complainingly, "What's wrong, could it be that in your eyes, I'm such a person who can't calm down?"

Chu Ge stared at Xiu Niang, shook his head in a daze, and said dumbly, "No, no, I, I mean..."

"Pfft." Xiu Niang smiled unconsciously, this idiot is really funny.

Chu Ge realized what was going on, his face darkened, he mumbled something sullenly and left, "Xiu Niang, you know that's not what I meant." But halfway through, he still stopped.

Seeing Chu Ge's awkward look, Xiu Niang suddenly felt that she was also pretty bad.She smiled and rushed forward.

"Chuge, the eighth day is the market, and all the shops in the town will be open. Let's go to the market."

Chu Ge turned around to look at her, and said strangely, "Going to the market? Xiu Niang, what do you want to buy?"

"Well, I was thinking about it."

"What?" Chu Ge asked following her.

"Shop, I want to buy or sell a shop."

After Xiuniang finished talking seriously, she looked at Chu Ge in a daze, she smiled and pulled him towards Shen's side...

----------

Chu Ge and Ji Laoliu borrowed an ox cart early in the morning, saying that they wanted to go to the town, so they took Xiuniang out of the village.

There were few cars and horses on the road, and the weather looked good. Chu Ge drove the old cow more slowly, chatting with Xiu Niang, and it took about half an hour to reach the town.

Chu Ge didn't get out of the car, and just drove the old cow in. The street is very empty at the moment, so it's okay for him not to get out of the car and lead him.

Xiu Niang was sitting next to Chu Ge, and she watched that although there were not many business people in the town, the surrounding shops were almost open, just like what she thought earlier, waiting for the two days of visiting relatives to pass, Everyone rests for a while, and then they have to start the busy work of the new year.

After crossing the front street, Chu Ge stopped the car at the entrance of Tairen Pharmacy, and Xiu Niang got off with one hand on the floor of the car, and took the basket beside her.Chu Ge glanced at her and got out of the car.

Xiu Niang waved her hand, and said to him, "Chuge, you don't need to come down, I'll go to shopkeeper Hetian and talk it out."

Chu Ge bypassed her, stretched out his hands to remove the two bamboo baskets from the back of the cart, and carried them to the door of Tairen Medicine Store.

He turned around and said to Xiu Niang who came with him, "Xiu Niang, these two things are very serious, you can ask the guys inside to help you get them in later."

If Chu Ge hadn't remembered it, she would have forgotten about it, Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge and responded, "Oh, I see, so are you going now?"

Chu Ge said, "Well, there are a few wood shops in the back streets and alleys, I'll go and have a look first," he thought for a while and then said, "Xiu Niang, you will come out later, if you don't want to wait for me at the entrance of the town , you go to Yuanmuhang, do you know where Yuanmuhang is?"

Xiu Niang nodded, "Isn't the Yuanmu shop in the middle of the back alley? Their shop specializes in making furniture (furniture) for big houses, and it's also the biggest shop in the town. where."

Chu Ge listened to what Xiu Niang had to say, and without further nagging, he put down the bamboo basket and pulled the ox cart and left.

The boy from Tairen Pharmacy saw someone at the door, he followed by and took a look, and when he saw it was Xiu Niang, he immediately greeted her with a smile, and now there are eggs to eat.

"Hey, little sister-in-law, I'm here for the market today."

Xiu Niang was holding a bamboo basket, and smiled at the boy, "Yeah, anyway, it's fine to stay at home, why don't you come here now, is the shopkeeper Hantian here?"

"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper took the mother-in-law and aunt to the market earlier, and she will come later, or the sister-in-law will wait in the yard first."

Xiu Niang thought about it, so she said, "Then I'll just wait, little brother, I'm carrying two bamboo baskets outside the door, help me bring them here."

The boy glanced at the eggs in Xiuniang's basket and smiled, "Cheng Li, sister-in-law, you can go inside and wait."

After he finished speaking, he walked out the door, muttering in his heart, hey, this little sister-in-law is really extraordinary, at this time, she can still find Erbao vines to sell.

On the edge of the steps, the boy found the bamboo basket that Xiuniang mentioned. It was the bamboo basket that Xiuniang had been holding in earlier. Baotou...
