The Sweet Little Fulang

After collecting a total of [-] Wen, Lu Gu was so happy that he didn't know what to say, his eyes were crooked, he was a little shy, but he couldn't stop himself from looking at Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Xuanqing was also laughing, and the two just sat opposite each other for a while.

"I, I'm going to get the twine." Lu Gu lowered his head in embarrassment, seeing so many copper coins on the table, he thought he should string them together, otherwise they would be too scattered, so he got up to search for the twine.

Shen Xuanqing was only looking at Lu Gu just now, and only now began to count the money.

In the purse, there are five taels of broken silver and more than 300 copper plates, as well as 28 taels of dwarf deer that have not been moved, and the 20 taels of silver that I saved before. Get it right, he doesn't need to take care of Lu Wen and Li Mingshan's affairs.

He spent more than two taels today, and only six coins and a dozen copper coins were left on him. These scattered silver coins were enough for daily expenses as he earned and spent.

Compared to 38 taels, these eleven coins may not seem like much money, but to these country folks, it can be regarded as a lot of money.

Lu Gu came over with a ball of twine, his [-] Wen was not enough for a consistent money, so he had to string a hundred of them, leaving a piece of twine at the end, enough for a hundred, to wind it up and tie a knot.

He earns a small amount of money, not as good as Shen Xuanqing, but in the village, it would be a big deal for any husband to have a few hundred coins, not to mention that he still has nineteen coins, and people may not believe it when he tells it.

The reason why Lu Gu was able to save up was because Shen Xuanqing treated him well and didn't take his money away, and he didn't let him pay for things outside.

Shen Xuanqing also helped him string the money, the eight hundred Wen coins were stringed together, each small coin was heavy, the mouth of the money bag was open, there was a five taels of silver in it, his nineteen coins were also there, Lu Gu looked at it more The happier I am, the more reluctantly I put the copper coins into the purse.

Shen Xuanqing didn't count his copper coins just now, so he just poured them out from the big money bag, and also took a string of twine. He will go to Fucheng to sell fox fur in the next two days.

"I'll help you." Lu Gu tightened the mouth of the big money bag, and when he saw him stringing money, he pulled a length of twine to help.

A total of 340 liuwen, strung three small plates with twine, 26 Wen Shen Xuanqing put it in the purse, Fucheng is far away, you must eat there, if you buy a few sesame seed cakes, you don’t need to untie the 26 Wen string of money.

He pushed the remaining [-] Wen to Lu Gu, and said with a smile: "Your money is whole money, keep it, it will be enough for ten strings later, if you want to change it into silver, you can go to the town to change it, and these [-] Wen are for you. Take it, just in case you want to buy something."

Lu Gu was quite embarrassed, smiled shyly, and carefully put the twenty coins into a small purse, so that he could carry it close to his body without fear of losing it when he went out.

In fact, he only buys some needlework and silk at most. Usually, whether at home or on the mountain, he seldom carries money on his body, but these twenty coins are different. If you don’t have money, you won’t be afraid of embarrassment if you can’t afford it.

After hiding the two big money bags at the bottom of the box, the thin quilt and clothes were pressed on top so they couldn't be seen, and then locked the box, Lu Gu was completely at ease.

-

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Xuanqing picked up the bamboo basket and went out after breakfast. Before going to Fucheng, she had to go to the old Orion to inquire about the price of fox fur in Fucheng. You may not come back late.

Lu Gu sent him out, and Da Hui and the puppy who were not on a leash also followed, and Da Hui subconsciously wanted to follow.

"Don't follow, go watch the house." Shen Xuanqing said something to it, and Lu Gu also called it from behind, and Big Hui stopped.

After Shen Xuanqing walked away, Lu Gu returned to the yard.

Shen Yan touched a few duck eggs laid in the night from the backyard, and asked, "Brother Guzi, brother Erqing is gone?"

"Let's go." Lu Gu replied, seeing the duck eggs, he couldn't help but think of the chickens and ducks he was still on the mountain, so he was a little fond of the house, and asked her with concern: "Have you chopped the chicken grass?"

"No, Brother Daqing is cleaning up in the backyard. I'll put the eggs away and chop them." Shen Yan said as she walked towards the kitchen.

When going down the mountain, there was a lot of grass and chaff for the chickens and ducks, which was enough for them to eat for a few days. Lu Gu was used to staying on the mountain. Every time Shen Xuanqing went hunting, he was busy by himself, and he couldn’t take it easy now. , Seeing that there were not many fine firewood, he took a bench and sat in the courtyard to chop fine firewood.

Sitting down and chopping wood will inevitably spread the legs to make room in front of the body, and the legs and feet are widely spread on both sides. The dog cuddled over and lay down next to his left leg.

Wei Lanxiang came out with a sewing basket. Seeing how hardworking he was, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She sat under the eaves and chatted with Lu Gu while picking up the soles of her shoes. After a while, there was a lot of food for the winter at home, autumn vegetables and They have pickled some white cabbage, they don't grow much white cabbage this year, just the two rows in the front yard vegetable field, after a while they can buy some from other houses and stock up, it will be enough for winter.

After a while, we talked about the soles of Na's shoes. Wei Lanxiang talked about his son even more. He said that Shen Xuanqing used to wear shoes since he was a child. Running around, that makes a person dislike dogs, and a little girl of the same age, Xiao Shuang'er, ignores him, and dismisses him as too wild.

The new shoes that I just put on were dirty and torn within two days. Up to now, Wei Lanxiang couldn't figure out how Shen Xuanqing walked at that time. The new shoes were torn in two days. Even Shen Yaoqing didn't waste the shoes so much , She was angry and thought it was funny, she even grabbed Shen Xuanqing's ears, not only that, Shen Xuanqing was also very strong, when she was nine or ten years old, she couldn't hold her.

"At that time, Da Chen was also a bastard. He called Erqing to go out to play all day long. He either filled weasel holes or fished and poked honeycombs. When he played, he didn't care about anything. He was crazy. I wouldn't let Erqing go. , he ran out in a hurry, and I let him run without holding him back."

Since arriving at Shen's house, Lu Gu saw Shen Xuanqing as calm and steady, never thought that he was so different when he was a child, and forgot to chop firewood after listening to it.

"The two of them went to play in the quagmire of Heqian Village. When they came back, they were covered in mud and dirt. They covered their face and head. Their hair was stuck to the mud. They couldn't wash it off. I was so angry that I beat him with a rolling pin. He even dragged Er Qing to Da Chen's house to look for Da Chen's mother, you don't know, Da Chen was beaten up that day and howled like ghosts and wolves, after a lesson, he was honest for the next six months."

Wei Lanxiang couldn't help laughing when she talked about the beating of Shen Xuanqing and Da Chen, which shows how much she couldn't stand the two bastards back then.

Lu Gu also raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly. He still wanted to hear it, but Shen Yan drove the ducks out from the backyard after chopping the chicken grass, and took them to swim outside. The ducks quacked, and the puppies stood up and barked at them. interrupted.

At this time, Ji Qiuyue also took a sewing basket and sat next to Wei Lanxiang, intending to mend Shen Yaoqing's torn old clothes, but when she distracted Wei Lanxiang from paying attention, she turned away and said something else to Ji Qiuyue.

Lu Gu started chopping firewood again, he was still thinking about Wei Lanxiang's words, a slight smile appeared on his face as he thought about it.

-

In the evening, Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue walked around the paddy fields and dry land. When he came back, he kept looking around on the road to the town. The dog cub ran back and forth with them. People in the village said that the dog was really strong when they saw it.

The sun was about to sink, and Shen Xuanqing's figure was never seen, and she thought she would not come back tonight.

Ji Qiuyue joked with him with a smile, and said, "Why, you miss Erqing after only going out for a day?"

These words made Lu Gu extremely embarrassed, he lowered his head and denied in a low voice: "No, no."

Seeing that his face was blushing, Ji Qiuyue smiled like a flower, but she knew that Lu Gu was thin-skinned, so she stopped teasing him.

The two of them walked through the village, meeting people in the village along the way, Ji Qiuyue spoke briskly, could chat and laugh with everyone, and arrived home as soon as they talked.

As soon as Lu Gu entered the courtyard, he saw a young woman talking to Wei Lanxiang, and Wei Lanxiang handed her a bowl of white noodles.

"Go back quickly, and pay it back when you have it tomorrow." Wei Lanxiang said.

"Aunt Xie Lanxiang." The young woman thanked her, then turned and left.

After she turned around, Lu Gu saw the bruises on her face, which looked like she had been beaten, and was a little startled in his heart, since he had been beaten, he naturally knew how painful it was.

The woman was familiar with Ji Qiuyue, she put on a smile on her face and said something before leaving.

"Old Zhang's family really committed crimes, and the good daughter-in-law wants to beat her." Wei Lanxiang sighed after the man left.

Lu Gu often went up the mountain with Shen Xuanqing, so he was not that familiar with the affairs of the village, but he had met that woman twice, she was Zhang Zhengzi's daughter-in-law a few houses away, she was close to their home, and Zhang Zhengzi's wife was called the old lady by the villagers. Zhang's, he knows that too.

"That's not it." Ji Qiuyue responded. When she said this, she felt very lucky. Fortunately, her mother found Shen Yaoqing and Wei Lanxiang for her back then. The daughter-in-law sets the rules, and I'm afraid she will die of anger.

The old Zhang’s rules are strict. She eats in the room, and the daughter-in-law brings the food in without saying anything. She has to kneel down to pay her respects. She beats and scolds her if she doesn’t like it. .

It is not uncommon to serve parents-in-law. There are other families who kneel down to say hello, but there are not many people who are as strict as the old Zhang family. Everyone in their farming households has to work, and they will pick the daughter-in-law's spare time when they have nothing to do.

Others in the village don't say that Wei Lanxiang has never suffered this kind of anger at the hands of her mother-in-law. Although Shen Shunfu is a big bastard, he treats her well and protects her all the time, so she also treats Ji Qiuyue well. After Lu Gu came, he also did not beat or scold her. , even the rules are not established.

Besides, she has Shen Yan, and when she thinks that her little daughter will be tortured by someone in the future, she feels uncomfortable.

Not to mention the daughter-in-law of others, Ji Qiuyue was loved by her parents, and even Lu Gu was loved by her mother when she was a child. How could she treat others harshly when she came to their house? .

Ji Qiuyue was in the kitchen boiling water for the family to wash and wash. She said that there was not much firewood, so Lu Gu went in with the firewood and listened to her talk about the Zhang family.

Gradually getting used to the Shen family, Lu Gu seldom thinks about the days when he was beaten. After hearing this, he was panicked and at the same time he couldn't help but feel that he was lucky. He met Wei Lanxiang and the Shen family.
