Fast Travel: Those Years of Saving Destiny

Although he couldn't figure out what Li Zizhao's purpose was, Rong Luo, who had settled his life well, could only accept the other party's concern. However, Xu accepted it too easily and always felt a little uneasy, so Rong Luo decided to prepare some small gifts to express his gratitude.

But as soon as he knocked on the door of Li's house, he was told by Butler Li that Mrs. Li was unwell and that the third young master in charge had gone with General Li to inspect the defense line, so Rong Luo could only return home again with gifts.

In the room, Rong Luo looked at the gifts on the table, "What kind of illness is Mrs. Li? I remember that she was still very lively when she left Beijing. Although she looked a little bad, she couldn't be so sick that she couldn't get out of bed. "

"I don't know about this, miss, what should we do with these gifts?" Lian Qing looked at these hugely expensive gifts with some distress. It was almost as if he felt distressed after using them, and even more distressed if he kept them.

Looking at Lian Qing's distressed and stingy look, Rong Luo held up his forehead and said, "We will share the food, and we will keep the cloth. We will buy some clothes for the New Year, but these beautiful colors are not suitable now, so now It's winter, and the winter here should be much colder than in the capital. We recently went out to store more food, and we still have some money left to see if we can find some business, otherwise we will really be sitting on nothing."

"Young miss is so considerate," Lian Qing complimented with a smile, "When I went out to buy things, I heard that the winter here is extremely cold. It's like dripping water turns into ice. Many people on the street said that those who have cellars at home can save some. Vegetables that can withstand freezing, but more people buy coarse salt for pickling. The vegetables here are not cheap, and the ones in the yard seem to be growing a little wilted these days."

"Indeed, the weather is getting colder day by day, which will probably have an impact on the growth." Rong Luo looked at the decadent vegetables outside the door and sighed, "For the cellar, let's go to the blacksmith shop to get some tools. As long as the land is not frozen, we can start construction first."

"Okay, I'll go there now." Lian Qing couldn't wait. She often went out during this period, and her temper became more and more lively and aggressive. At least her ability to bargain for shopping had impressed Rong Luo. .

"Okay, let's divide the work. You go to the blacksmith shop and I'll go to the cloth shop to see if we can get some cotton." Rong Luo took some silver and copper plates from his purse and handed them to Lian Qing. "You can take these. If there's not enough, Go to the cloth shop to find me. I happen to have accumulated a lot of embroidered fan handkerchiefs these days, so I will take advantage of today to make a move."

"Okay, then I'll go and come back quickly." When Lian Qing heard that Rong Luo was going to Buzhuang, he quickly got up and ran out, saying as he ran, "Miss, leave the price to me, please take your time. Just walk over.”

His concern revealed his distrust of Rong Luo's price making, which made Rong Luo shake his head dumbfounded. After the other party left, he went back to the house and carried the packed fan and handkerchief out.

Perhaps after listening to Lian Qing's words, Rong Luo's footsteps were not very fast and she was swaying all the way. When she arrived at Buzhuang, Lian Qing happened to run over panting and carrying a bag of farm tools.

Seeing the sweat on the other person's forehead, Rong Luo quickly took out his handkerchief to wipe it, feeling distressed and funny at the same time, "Why are you running so fast? It's such a cold day and it makes you want to get sick."

Lian Qing chuckled after being scolded, and Lian Qing's arrival also made Rong Luo quicken his pace, "Let's go, let's go store some food after everything is sold. It never hurts to have more."

"Don't worry, miss, I've asked a lot about the prices recently. Our embroidery work will be fine." Lian Qing patted his chest as a guarantee.

And her guarantee was indeed correct. Rong Luo and Lian Qing learned their embroidery work from the embroiderers in the palace. They had no choice in terms of style or needlework. What's more, in the past, the two of them bought charcoal to earn money. He often used his money to sell embroidery secretly to make a transition, but now there is nothing uncomfortable about returning to his old business.

However, Qingzhou is a desolate place in the northwest after all. Although such exquisite embroidery is very scarce, the price offered has shrunk a lot compared to the capital. However, neither Rong Luo nor Lian Qing can do this. Disappointed. After all, I had already inquired about it when I came and had done some psychological preparation, so I accepted the price given by the boss well.

With three round fans and more than twenty handkerchiefs, Rong Luo and Lian Qing received a total of nearly twenty taels of silver. Looking at the silver they received, their faces were filled with indescribable joy.

The excited two people shuttled through the streets and alleys. When they returned home at noon, they also had a dazzling array of things hanging on their hands, including cotton, grain, and the cart full of cabbage. Looking at the cabbage piled at the door of the kitchen, Rong Luo and Lian Qing had a clear division of labor, as one cooked and the other dug the cellar.

As the rice paddies were moved in and filled, Rong Luo and Lian Qing's hearts were completely relieved.

As the days got on track day by day, Rong Luo never visited the door next door. However, although no one came to the door, he would occasionally ask Lian Qing to deliver some home-made snacks or handkerchiefs and purses. After all, he was on the other side. On your own territory, you have to show something, right? Even if the hostess of the house doesn't want to see you, you still have to have the proper etiquette.

Such peaceful days lasted until the first snow fell in Qingzhou. Li Zizuo and General Li, who had been away for a long time, finally returned from patrolling the border. Residents on the street lined up on both sides to watch the father and son of the Li family riding a tall horse. As they passed by, behind them was the well-disciplined Li Jiajun, and the streets were filled with cheers of joy. Rong Luo and Lian Qing were also moved by such joy, and subconsciously waved and cheered along with them.

Li Zizuo seemed to have heard Rong Luo's call. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Rong Luo was so frightened that he covered his mouth and immediately closed his mouth. Fortunately, the other person's eyes only hurriedly passed by where Rong Luo was. The position turned back again, so that Rong Luo didn't know whether the other party really saw it or not.

However, this entanglement did not last long, because as the team went away, some people spontaneously formed a team to follow, but some people returned to their stalls to conduct small business. Rong Luo and Lian Qing was the latter. The two of them walked in the opposite direction of the team with baskets on their shoulders. They bartered or gave money along the way. The two of them bought a lot of lower-priced food such as croquettes and tube bones. .

Looking at the tube bones in the basket, Rong Luo counted the time and said, "Lian Qing, go back first and stew the tube bones. You can still catch some purses and handkerchiefs."

"Okay, listen to Miss." Lian Qing, who looked at the bundle of firewood he had just received on his shoulder, nodded repeatedly, "It just so happened that the fan I came out with was a bit missing, so I might as well finish the rest when I go back. If you sell it before the end of the year, you might be able to get a higher price."

"Okay, we will start construction after the new year and build a house and shop then. We can embroider more during this period and the shelves will be full by then." Rong Luo nodded and led Lian Qing back.
