As soon as County Magistrate Zhao left, the Yun family suddenly became much more spacious. Yun's father was busy writing couplets for the people in the village. Finally, there was a literate man in Jiangning Village who had been an official. Although he made a mistake, he came here.
There were still many people going to Yun's house to take back the free couplets, which was a happy occasion.
Yun Miaomiao took Yun Su, Gu Fengqing and Xiao Zhuo to the market. The street was lively. They walked around and bought a lot of new year's goods. They also bought ten kilograms of pork and several
Chicken.
That is, Gu Fengqing and Xiao Zhuo came out with bamboo baskets on their backs. These were placed in the bamboo baskets so that outsiders could not tell what they bought.
In addition to meat, Yun Miaomiao also bought ten pounds of candies, ten pounds of preserved fruits and dried meat, all fresh snacks for the Chinese New Year. It was a joy to buy them.
Yun Su and Gu Fengqing looked at Yun Miaomiao spending money like running water. When she wanted to continue shopping, they quickly pulled people away.
"Why are you dragging me out?" Yun Miaomiao was almost dragged out by Gu Fengqing.
Gu Fengqing took a breath and said slowly, "Although I know you can make money, there are only a few of us. After the three of us are out of school, we will leave for Ruizhou Academy, and I need you alone at home."
Hold on, just save some flowers."
The other two nodded in agreement, "Yes, sister, we still need a lot of money to study. It will take June to get the money from selling the briquettes this time. There is still money left at home."
More than anything, my mother’s health is not good, so we’d better save some money.”
Xiao Zhuo didn't feel too much, but since he didn't make any money, the other two people said so, and he felt it was right, so he agreed.
Yun Miaomiao saw that the three of them felt sorry for the money in their hands. When they saw that they had almost bought everything, they stopped buying. Otherwise, if they bought more, they would probably not dare to go to school.
Since she came to the county town, Yun Miaomiao went to Yun Cui Pavilion. Although there are not many people in the Yun Cui Pavilion store, its reputation is not small.
When Xiao Yang saw Yun Miaomiao, he immediately came out and said, "Sister Yun, you are here. The shopkeeper is in the backyard. I will call him."
Yun Miaomiao stopped him, "No, I'll go by myself."
After saying that, she looked back at the three people following her, "You guys sit here for a while, and I'll go find someone in the back."
Gu Fengqing watched her disappear from sight, then looked away and looked at the surrounding environment. Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo also looked at it curiously.
Yun Su felt strange in his heart, why did his sister come to this place?
Does your sister want to buy jewelry?
That's right, my sister used to wear endless jewelry every month, but now she only wears a wooden hairpin to hold her hair up, which is pretty plain.
Forget it, since sister likes it, he will just eat less in the future.
Xiao Zhuo and Gu Feng were slightly older, so what they saw and thought were of course different from Yun Su's.
Gu Fengqing was also curious. He had always known that Yun Miaomiao often came to the county town, but now it seemed that she came to the county town for Yun Cui Pavilion.
She is quite capable, and she keeps such a big thing a secret.
The waiter from Yun Cui Pavilion seems to have a good relationship with Yun Miaomiao and is very familiar with him. The shopkeeper they mentioned just now must have something to do with Yun Miaomiao.
Xiao Zhuo was thinking the same thing as Gu Fengqing, but he didn't think much about it. He knew that this was Yun Miaomiao's private matter and it was not convenient for him to interfere too much.
Yun Miaomiao entered the backyard. The fallen leaves in the yard had been swept clean, and the chrysanthemums planted in the corner were blooming brilliantly. A faint floral fragrance came to her face. The fragrance was astounding and it smelled very sweet.
Shopkeeper Liu was sitting on a stool in front of the table, holding a carving knife in one hand and a jade stone in the other, and was carving attentively.
He carefully carved a stripe path, fearing that this perfect piece of jade would be damaged by accident.
Yun Miaomiao walked over lightly, then stood at the door and knocked on the door frame. Shopkeeper Liu took a deep breath, stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at her.
A woman appeared in his field of vision. Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment that he was hallucinating. Seeing him stop, Yun Miaomiao walked directly in.
"Shopkeeper Liu, long time no see." Yun Miaomiao put the purchased preserves on the table, "You craftsmen, you forget to eat and sleep while doing your work. These are the preserves I bought for you. If you are hungry, just
Eat some, and I'll buy it for you next time when you're done."
Shopkeeper Liu was moved and said, "What are you spending this money on? I'm an old man, why can't I buy it myself?"
"That's different. How can you look at what I bought and what you bought yourself? This is my filial piety to you." Yun Miaomiao took out a piece of paper from her arms, "New Year is coming soon, and Shopkeeper Liu should stop.
Stop it, don’t rush these things, you can take your time after the New Year.”
"No matter how a person lives his life, he can live it, is this?" He reached out and took the paper handed over by Yun Miaomiao, which was a drawing.
On the drawing is a gift prepared by Yun Miaomiao for the queen.
It is a set of deep purple phoenix crowns with double lotus embroidery on the head and face. On the left and right sides are phoenix hairpins with peacock patterns embroidered with golden flower patterns, a double-sided hairpin with white cranes engraved on the silk jade, and a pair of red smudged hairpins.
The earrings, this drawing, are simply perfect.
No matter how many beautiful things Mr. Liu had seen, he was still shocked by this drawing.
"This is~" Shopkeeper Liu found his voice after a long time and asked.
Yun Miaomiao told him her plan, "This thing must be made beautiful and exquisite, and it cannot be careless at all."
Even without Yun Miaomiao, he would not be sloppy. This thing was made many times better than the Yunxiang made before. He was reluctant to waste such a good thing.
It was time to talk, and Yun Miaomiao also planned to go back. When she came out, she saw Gu Fengqing and three people staring at her, which made her feel confused.
Xiao Yang saw her coming out and walked over with a smile, "Sister Yun, are you leaving so soon?"
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "Yes, it's not the Chinese New Year. I'll go back after shopping and take a look at Shopkeeper Liu."
"The shopkeeper must be very happy. In previous years, he was alone and deserted. This year, he must be happy to have you come to see him."
Yun Miaomiao paused before leaving, "Where are shopkeeper Liu's family members?"
Xiaoyang was stunned for a while before answering her, "Shopkeeper Liu married a wife when he was young. His wife seemed to have died early. He spent the New Year alone for so many years. You also know that pawnshops are getting more and more popular."
The less people visit at the end of the year, the holiday starts one month earlier in previous years. This year, the business of Yuncui Pavilion is good, it is different, and it will be the 29th of the year."
