When the sky was dim and bright, Chen Xiaobei set out. He took thirty wild eggs with him and wanted to try his luck in the market. He also took fifty coins, which was enough for him to buy in the county town.
His luck is pretty good.
Lao Wu tidied up a corner of his vegetable stall and asked him to put wild eggs on it.
What made him even more happy was that not long after, the God of Wealth, Miss Liu Rumei, appeared again.
This time Chen Xiaobei was much bolder. Taking advantage of Liu Rumei's time picking vegetables, he said with a smile, "Miss Liu, look at these pheasants. They are from the pheasants you bought two days ago. You can eat them."
Physical fitness."
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Rumei's eyes.
She stretched out her delicate hand, pinched a wild egg, held it in front of her and observed it carefully.
Just looking at it made Chen Xiaobei almost drool.
Her arms were as white as lotus roots, her fingers were slender and spotless, and her nails were painted that bright red. I don’t know what kind of material the nail polish was made of in this era.
And the moment he stretched it out, there was a faint fragrance, which made him feel relaxed and relaxed.
Sigh, you said it was easy for you to travel through time, why don't you travel back to Liu Rumei's side?
Liu Rumei raised her head and was about to ask the price when she saw Chen Xiaobei staring at her stupidly.
Liu Rumei coughed lightly, but Chen Xiaobei obviously hadn't woken up from his meditation yet.
At this time, Xiao Qing, the long-haired maid next to Liu Rumei, got angry. She picked up a vegetable leaf and threw it into Chen Xiaobei's face, "You are so rude, who made you stare at my lady like that?"
?”
Seeing this, Lao Wu hurriedly came forward and tugged Chen Xiaobei's arm, "Are you getting sick again? Miss Liu is asking you, why are you giggling there?"
What Chen Xiaobei said in his heart was not that he was giggling, but that he was thinking of an excuse.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he hugged Liu Rumei and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I was distracted just now. I suddenly wanted to add two wild eggs when frying cucumbers. It must taste delicious.
."
I have to say that Chen Xiaobei’s promotion really made Liu Rumei tempted.
"That's true, I haven't tasted wild eggs fried with cucumbers."
"Okay, go back and deliver your wild eggs to my house."
After saying that, he turned to look at the long-haired maid next to him, "Xiao Qing, please make amends to this young master."
Young Master?
There was clearly a trace of contempt in Xiaoqing's eyes, and Chen Xiaobei also understood that he didn't look like a young man in the way he was dressed. Rather, he looked like a beggar. He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, it was my fault just now. I was really distracted. Why?
Please forgive me, Miss Liu."
After Liu Rumei left, Old Wu glanced at him and said, "My little brother hasn't married yet!"
Chen Xiaobei sighed, "Hey, my family is so poor, how can I marry my wife?"
"Regardless of whether you have a wife or not, in the future, don't look so straight when you see Miss Liu. If she gets angry and sends you to the government, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
As soon as Chen Xiaobei delivered the wild eggs to Liu Mansion, the thirty wild eggs were exchanged for thirty copper coins.
With these thirty copper coins, Chen Xiaobei became happy again.
In addition to buying salt, he also bought some grain. In addition, he went to the rouge gouache shop and bought a box of rouge. When he left the city gate, he also bought six steamed buns.
Chen Xiaobei came back before noon. When she saw the meat buns, Chen Qiaoer clapped her hands and jumped with joy. She grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Oh, Qiao'er, don't choke. I'll get you some water." Cui Hongyu quickly got up and went into the house to pour some water.
Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to follow him into the room, took out the hidden rouge from his sleeve, and handed it to Cui Hongyu.
"This is for you!"
"rouge."
Cui Hongyu subconsciously exclaimed.
She knows the goods, this is not only Rouge, but also the best one in the county, produced by Zhao Ji.
This box of rouge costs five big bucks.
From the surprise in her eyes, Chen Xiaobei knew that he had made the right purchase.
"Kuyu, do you like it?"
Cui Hongyu nodded, then shook his head, "No, no, husband, this rouge is too expensive, I..."
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, "It's not expensive at all. My woman will use the best."
His words revealed confidence and a hint of domineering.
Cui Hongyu was stunned.
Everyone said that Chen Xiaobei was timid, cowardly and a useless guy, but the gift he gave himself today was too much of a surprise, and what he said just now was also very convincing.
This seems to be different from the legend.
But thinking about what Chen Xiaobei said last night, Cui Hongyu hesitated again.
After lunch, Chen Xiaobei went to catch up on his sleep.
After all, I got up early in the morning and made another trip to the county town.
He fell asleep but Cui Hongyu didn't. It wasn't that she wasn't sleepy, but that she decided to do something big.
As the saying goes, no merit will be rewarded, so if Chen Xiaobei gave him such a precious rouge, he would have to give some more subsidies to the family.
Cui Hongyu took out a bundle from her dowry, which contained silk and satin that she bought from the county town.
This silk satin originally cost dozens of copper coins. I dreamed of wearing a red wedding dress made of this silk satin and getting married in a glorious manner, but now this silk satin is no longer needed.
Therefore, the only purpose of this silk is to convert it into money to support the family.
"Qiao'er, when your brother wakes up soon, you can tell me that I'm going back to my parents' house, and I'll be back before dark!"
Chen Qiaoer nodded obediently and continued playing in the yard. What does she know at such a young age?
Cui Hongyu left Hetou Village, followed by Chen Ermao and the others.
Three miles away from the village, seeing no one around, Chen Ermao waved his hand, and a few second-rate men swarmed up and surrounded Cui Hongyu.
Seeing Chen Ermao and the others coming up, Cui Hongyu panicked.
He hurriedly picked up a stone from the ground, held it in his hand, and deliberately shouted at the top of his voice, "Chen Ermao, what do you want to do again?"
Chen Ermao chuckled, "Don't be afraid, Miss Hongyu, you are married to brother Xiaobei. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. I am Chen Xiaobei's brother, so I will be your father."
Cui Hongyu's eyes widened, "Chen Ermao, you are talking nonsense and you are not afraid of being punished by God."
Chen Ermao looked around and saw that no one was coming. He became more courageous and said, "Being punished by God will happen in the future. Now, I just want to have fun with you."
As he spoke, he lunged forward to catch Cui Hongyu.
Cui Hongyu was a weak woman after all. Although she pretended to be calm on the outside, she was already panicking in her heart. When she saw Chen Ermao approaching, she immediately threw the stone in her hand in panic.
The stone was impartial and hit Chen Ermao right in the eye. The boy was so painful that he groaned, covered his eyes and squatted on the ground.
