Qingzhou trip

In previous years, before the festival of the Autumn Rewarding the Gods, several elderly households in the craftsman camp would discuss with the Li family how to prepare for this year's festival.But Wudou's illness was cured, and the business of the shop selling pine and cypress incense seals on the street was booming.But today, on the Rewarding God Festival, no one came to look for Li Suyue.

She has nothing to do in the shop today, and she doesn't need to go to Beixia to do business recently, and she doesn't need to hurry, so she has to burn incense for the patriarch Laojun.First buy some incense seals, and then make two clothes for Shan Cui and his younger brother.

In previous years, festivals usually followed the old rules of the craftsman camp. Everyone had a good meal in the backyard of Li's shop, but today it was saved.Because Li Suyue went to several houses a few days ago, they were all shut down, and the old man Wu's family in the carpenter's camp even poured a basin of dirty water on her heels.Li Suyue knew that they were angry with her for annulling the engagement before Wu Zhaoan was alive, and also angry that she refused to mourn as a widow after Wu Zhaoan died.Not to mention the fact that Wu Zhaoli's descendants were almost abolished with one blow.

She probably knew in her heart: the Wu family must not be the only one who secretly had an affair with Bei Xia.The suspected Sun family, Liu family, and Yuchi's family cried for real while supporting Wu Zhaoan's tomb.He was afraid that he would not only be robbed of money for this transaction, but also that he would lose a supporter in Manguan in the future.

Anyway, she was taken by others. If the people in the craftsman camp don't want to celebrate the Rewarding God Festival together, they should separate.What's more, after the defeat of the war that year, the craftsman camp has been in harmony.Before the war, she was happiest when she received the blueprints from the Ministry of Industry. She could make Duyuan crossbows and divine arm bows.She is very good at frying glue and wearing tendons, even the yellow steel sword in Yun Fangjiang's hand was forged by her.The people from the Ministry of Industry read it and even said that they would transfer her to the capital hospital.

At that time, everyone in the craftsman's camp praised Li's daughter's skillful workmanship, and the first time she presided over the meeting of rewarding the gods was a hit, and the people in the craftsman's camp were so crowded that the small courtyard of the Li family couldn't get through.

After the war, not to mention the confiscation of utensils by the transshipment envoys, they used inferior goods as good ones, and even the payment to the craftsman camp was repeatedly withheld.The lack of armaments in the Northwest is not only due to the lack of borders and weak soldiers, but also the depression of the craftsman camp.

In her heart, she could understand that the people in the old craftsman's camp secretly did some business with Beixia to make money.But she couldn't bear to make weapons for the opponent.Not only her parents, but many households in Jiangying had their parents and relatives lost their lives under Beixia's iron hoof.She would not feel guilty if she robbed someone who worked for a thief.

In her bosom is the ten taels of silver that Lu Jinhua stuffed for her.The master said, "We have to distinguish between rewards and punishments for robbing houses. You have done the most meritorious service this time, so you will get more money." Ten taels, she has not earned this amount in two years of traveling from Shahai to Manguan.But she is still diligent, in order to observe the wind and grass on the commercial road.If you get a chance, join Master and the others to grab a fortune.

At first she was apprehensive, and even more disturbed.Lu Jinhua said it well, "This money is like big dung. If someone uses it to nourish one crop, you can also take it to nourish another. It will always be in harmony with the law of heaven and business. After spending it, it is not in vain to grab it."

At that time, Li Suyue asked the master, "Then we are looking for smells?" The master stared at him, "Don't you understand?"

Later, Li Suyue understood, but she was still cautious when spending money, for fear that people would see the unknown money in her hand.After saving for so many years, it was long enough for the sisters to move out of Shahai and return to their hometown in Jiangnan.

There are currently no customers in Yanniang's shop, seeing Li Suyue coming, she smiled knowingly, "Every year you come to make two sets of clothes on the Rewarding God Festival, I'm still wondering why you haven't come yet?"

Yan Niang brought her tea, took out the regular customer booklet that she had prepared earlier, found the size that Li Suyue had left earlier, and asked, "Has it changed?"

"It hasn't changed." Li Suyue put down the teacup, "Please trouble Yanniang to make Shan Cui and my junior brother each make a winter robe. I don't lack clothes, so I won't do it."

"I have to do it." Yanniang's catkin took Li Suyue's hand cordially, "My stuffy cousin, I had to go to your shop to get enough food and learn a lot of skills. Yueniang, you wait I have always taken care of you, and this year I will give you a suit of clothes." After she finished speaking, she took out some clothes that had been neatly folded a long time ago, "The two robes belonged to Shancui and Yunhan, and the lamb fur underneath was from my last trip. Guan bought it. If you don’t come today, I’m going to send it to your house.”

Li Suyue insisted on resigning, but Yanniang's hand touched her palm, and her tone was soft and pleasant, "You know... I am a woman, I support the silk shop by myself, and it is because of you and my cousin that I am not bullied." " Just as she was talking, her tears kept ticking, "I have to learn to ride a horse, learn to go to Beixia to do business, and when I come back, I have to take care of the shop and my husband, I..." She wiped the tip of her nose, "I'm not that If you can cultivate the temperament of being a good person but not knowing it, Yueniang, if you want to treat me as an outsider, accept it this time."

Yan Niang and her cousin Yan Yunhan are exiled officials, one of them married a sick husband, and the other entered the artisan camp to worship as a teacher, so they survived in Shahaigou.Li Suyue understood what she said, but she had already leaned over half of her body and fell onto her shoulders while crying. Li Suyue was covered by her hot tears and scalded her face, so she pulled Yanniang away with great difficulty, "Then...then accept it." Yan Niang's heart, but this money..."

Before she took out the money, Yanniang's hand was already attached to the chest.Li Suyue sat upright in shock, and pulled Yanniang's hand, "Yanniang, I...I'm not that kind of person."

Yanniang suddenly raised her face and looked at Li Suyue's blushing expression, "I'm sorry, Yueniang, I lost my shape when I thought about sad things." She got up and stood up, Yueniang thought for a while, "I'll come back tomorrow." She was not sure how much money to give, so she had to ask others.

At this moment, a sharp cough came from behind the shop, Yanniang frowned, and then sighed, "I'll go to work first."

Li Suyue took the clothes and turned them on Wudou's back, patted it, "Today is the holiday, let's not go for a stroll outside the city. Go back and feed you well." When she turned her head to look at Yanniang's silk shop, her heart was filled with tears. But it felt like there was still something to be done.

When she turned to the entrance of the alley, she met Yun Bailu who was oncoming her. She was holding a heavy bean cake in her left hand, wine and food in her right hand, and a few pieces of cloth under her armpits. "Yue Niang, are you back?" She smiled flatteringly. Smiling, he threw bean cakes at Wudou, "Wudou hasn't eaten well these days, so I bought bean cakes for him."

Turning to the right side again, "The appeasement envoys of the three states are hosting a banquet for officials of all sizes in Shahai today, and I will come back after receiving the ceremony. These cloths are for you, and I can't wear them alone."

Li Suyue got off the horse, and the clothes in her hands were seen by Yun Bailu, "Eh? This lamb fur is nice, but it doesn't look like what you can buy in the sand sea." Li Suyue knew it with her sharp eyes, and immediately asked, "Do you know how much?"

"The quality is acceptable, and the price is...two sheep." Yun Bailu looked at Li Suyue curiously, "Didn't you buy it?"

"Yes...it was a gift from someone." Li Suyue thought for a while, "It's not something that a person like me can wear." Besides, she leans against the iron stove all year round, and there is no shortage of coal at home, so she doesn't really need these things to keep out the cold.But she wanted to buy this lamb fur and wanted to give it to the master later.

"Dress well." Yun Bailu's clear eyes burst into a naive smile, "Yue Niang looks good in plain colors, after all, the moon is bright and full of brilliance."

After she finished laughing, the two stood opposite each other for a while, Yun Bailu threw the bean cake on Wudou's back, and pressed the cloth under his arm on the lamb fur, "Here...for you.

"Let's go... let's go." The eloquence was sealed in an instant.

Li Suyue thought for a while, "Why don't you celebrate the festival with the comforter?"

Yun Bailu pursed his lips, "Anyway, I used to be an envoy. Although I have a false title, I am also a high-ranking person in Shahai. Nowadays, everyone who sees me reads the same sentence as Yunshi, which sounds harsh, doesn't it?" ?”

"But you don't see much displeasure in being an attendant. You sleep until noon every day, and you wake up at [-] o'clock." Li Suyue was still laughing, but suddenly felt that this was inappropriate, and after closing her voice Staring at the cloth that Yun Bailu sent.She didn't even think of picking a suit for Yun Bailu.

Yes.What I didn't do was prepare a thank you gift for her.

"Then...then come to my house." Li Suyue was going to lead the horse, and Yun Bailu had already pulled five buckets, "Okay." Anyway, she wasn't going to eat alone.Just like that, the two rode together, occasionally rubbing shoulders and squeezed into the alley.
