sweet wife little confused

Chapter 4 Going to the Market
After a hasty meal, Mrs. Liang instructed Da Ya and Er Ya to go out to hunt pigweed, but she took the pigweed picked by her two nieces in the morning to the backyard to chop it up, and started cooking again.

An Xiu'er went back to her room and started to work on her needlework.

There was an unfinished handkerchief on her hand, and the Bingdi lotus on it was lifelike. Although she was an ordinary peasant girl, An Xiu'er had always been ingenious. The embroidered handkerchiefs were very delicate and very popular in the town, but this piece The handkerchief was originally intended to be embroidered by her for Gu Linlang.

An Xiu'er will always remember this scene in her dream, the peach grove behind the village, she blushed, and gave this square embroidered handkerchief to Gu Linlang, Gu Linlang took it with her hand, grasped her hand, and the two held tightly Under his sweet talk, she was dizzy and agreed to elope with him.

She admitted that Gu Linlangsheng was good-looking, completely different from these people in the village. He was always dressed in long robes and handsome, and all the girls in the village liked him.

But good looks can't be eaten as food. Gu Linlang's good looks didn't mean she was abandoned by a wolf-hearted man. She was good-looking by herself, but in the end she wasn't spoiled by a widower.

Thinking in this way, she stretched out her hand and tore off the veil. After looking at it twice, she fixed it on again, still embroidering seriously with needle and thread.

In a few days it will be time to go to the market. If you can embroider a few more square handkerchiefs, you can sell them for a lot of money when you take them to the town.

Dad and the others have worked so hard, and they have cared about themselves since they were young. If they could save enough money to buy a cigarette rod for dad and a plain hairpin for mother before they got married, that would be great.

Thinking of this, An Xiu'er's movements became quicker.

This Luohe town holds a market every five days, and every February [-]th, An Xiuer has been rushing to embroider these few nights. It is already blue and purple, but her hard work pays off, and she finally rushed to the market to save money. I bought six veils and some nets.

She had already agreed with Mr. Liang that she would go to the market before dinner, and this must be the last time she would go to the market as a girl.

The next day, she woke up early. After washing, she pulled out a sweet potato from the fire. It was buried by the cooking sparks in the stove last night. It was still warm this morning. She peeled it off in a hurry. After eating and drinking, he rushed to the town with the basket.

It's several miles from this village to the town, and it would take an hour to walk at An Xiu'er's speed, so she arrived early, fearing that if she was late, there would be no place to set up a stall.

Along the way, I also met some women in the village. When they saw An Xiu'er, they all teased her, saying: "Xiu'er, are you going to the market alone?"

"Yes, how are the aunts?" An Xiu'er greeted the aunts in the village with a smile.

These aunts laughed at her and said: "Doesn't that blind man have a boat? You won't be much faster in his boat, but you still have to walk by yourself."

"Auntie, don't make fun of me." An Xiu'er blushed when she heard these auntie's words, lowered her head, walked quickly, and walked forward alone.

"Look at this girl, she's blushing."

"What a pity, Xiu'er is so beautiful, marrying such a person."

The words of these aunts behind her kept coming, but An Xiu'er felt calm in her heart. What happened to Zhang Zhen'an?
Although he is getting older and looks a bit vicious, other things may not be as bad as what they said, let's not talk about anything else, at least at this juncture, he is willing to take money to marry him, that is to save his father's life, Is my own benefactor.

The sun climbed up from the hillside, and the golden sunlight seemed to cover the whole road with a layer of gold. It was golden, An Xiu'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, and continued to walk forward.

She seldom walked such a long distance. When she came to the town, she only felt that her legs were a little sore, but she didn't care about so much, so she hurried to the middle of the market, and found a place in a crowded place. Squat down in the open space.

She asked her second brother An Tiemu to make a small folded stool for her earlier, and it happened to be sitting on the street at the moment. The small basket was her booth. She took out a few strings and tied them On the handle of the basket, I took out another small clip and fastened the handkerchief on it.

The market was very lively, and after a while someone came to ask, An Xiu'er's embroidery was beautiful and the price was cheap, after a while, she sold two handkerchiefs and five nets, and got 25 Wen. Holding the purse, An Xiu'er's heart was full of sweetness, thinking that her hard work these past few days was finally not in vain.

Next, An Xiu'er waited for the guest to ask while she was making a net.

With her ingenuity and dexterity, a beautiful net slowly took shape in her hands with her ten fingers flying. This time she wove a small butterfly with silk thread. Even the lady selling eggs beside her was amazed and couldn't help it. He praised: "Girl, your hands are really clever."

"Thank you, grandma, for your compliment." An Xiu'er pursed her lips and continued knitting.

She is handy and knits on the spot, which soon attracted many girls to stop in front of her small stall, and her things were sold out in a short while.

Seeing that it was getting late, An Xiuer was about to call it a day, so she stood up from her booth and was about to leave when a man who looked like a scholar stopped in front of her booth, An Xiuer hurriedly greeted her: "Hello, officer, just looking around."

Originally, the scholar just wanted to buy a net to match his jade pendant, but when he heard this pleasant voice, he couldn't help but glance at An Xiu'er, and his eyes were straightened instantly. Just like the people in the painting.

An Xiu'er was a little annoyed by his rude behavior, so she coughed, and the scholar came back to her senses, and asked casually, "May I ask you, how much is this worth?"

"A net is a penny." An Xiu'er heard the scholar's ostentatious words, she felt a little unhappy in her heart, and put away the smile on her face.

"Then I'll buy one." The scholar handed over a penny, his face flushed, but An Xiu'er didn't pick it up, but let him put it in the basket and let him choose one by himself.

The scholar realized his impoliteness and left in a hurry. An Xiu'er just breathed a sigh of relief, but she never thought that another young man with a rascal appearance happened to pass by with his servants, and a frivolous voice sounded beside her:
"Hey, little lady, come out to sell things by yourself, let me see what they sell..." He lowered his head slightly and looked into An Xiu'er's basket: "Yo, a net seller?"

An Xiu'er felt that she was really unlucky today, no matter how she rushed to a fair to sell things, she could encounter these things.

The world is not stable, and women are quite tolerant nowadays. It is normal for women and girls in the countryside to sell things. It is just that she was born to her. Today, I met this prodigal son.

Seeing that this young man was flamboyant, fair-skinned, and his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised when he spoke, with some frivolous intentions, he didn't look like a good person at first glance, An Xiu'er quickly put away her things, and said: "I Not for sale."

"Hey, why don't you sell it when others buy you?" The young man was relentless and stopped An Xiu'er from leaving.

"I just don't want to sell it to you, why, can't I?" An Xiu'er took two steps back.

The servant behind the young man stood quietly behind An Xiu'er, leaving An Xiu'er nowhere to go.

"My lord gave you some flair, and you even opened a dyeing workshop." The young man obviously didn't expect that An Xiu'er would dare to choke him, he took two steps forward, stared at An Xiu'er, and said: "If you don't make it clear today, don't even think about it." Walk."

This person is not a good person at first glance, An Xiu'er was thinking about countermeasures in her heart, seeing this person with a lewd smile on his face, stretching out his hand to tease her, she felt very uncomfortable, she didn't think about anything at the time, just raised He kicked the man's crotch heavily...

"Hiss..." The young man's hand was still stretched in the air, and he was kicked in the lower part of the body. Dang even bent down in pain, and the peddlers at the side covered their mouths and laughed when they saw him. The young man became more and more annoyed, and turned to everyone He shouted, "What are you laughing at?" Then he turned to the servant and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Even if the servant chased An Xiu'er, the rascal followed behind the servant. An Xiu'er ran forward in a panic. There were many people on the street, and she was not walking fast. Seeing that she was about to be overtaken, she turned her head and looked around Look, the swinger gave her a sneer smile, like you're dead.

An Xiu'er was startled, and continued to run forward, but bumped into a wall unexpectedly.

"Give way!" An Xiu'er said in an anxious voice, she was about to pass this man, but she never thought that this man would stand still.

Only then did she raise her head, but when she saw that this man was wearing a bamboo hat and his eyes were covered with a piece of black gauze, through the gauze he unexpectedly met his dark eyes, An Xiu'er panicked and felt a faint hair on her face It's hot, so I quickly lowered my head.

"Haha, let me catch you. If you dare to kick me, I want you to look good!" Seeing that An Xiu'er was right in front, the rascal smirked.

"I came here to sell handkerchiefs on the street, and I never wanted to meet such sluts." An Xiu'er explained to Zhang Zhen'an in a low voice, and then hid behind him.

Zhang Zhen'an is not a nosy person. Hearing An Xiu'er's words and seeing her appearance again, he felt a little strange in his heart, and there was a hint of puzzlement in his eyes. He only said that this girl wanted to find a place to hide, but unexpectedly Even if someone like him hides with a vicious face, isn't he afraid that he is also a bad person?

Seeing that An Xiu'er was hiding behind him, the rascal murmured to him angrily: "Who are you, what are you doing, do you know who this young master is? Hand over that little lady if you are sensible!"

Zhang Zhenan was still thinking about whether to help this girl, but his hands were quicker than his head. When the swinger pointed at him, he held the swinger's hand without saying a word, Click and fold.

"what!"

The screams of this swinger were like a pig waiting to be slaughtered. After Zhang Zhenan let go of his hand, he put down two harsh words, as if he was afraid that Zhang Zhenan would come after him again, and flew away with his servants.
