Zhang Xiaoli asked Liu Wenyao: "Sister-in-law, your brother-in-law and his family still know the ancient shopkeeper of Boguxuan?"
Liu Wenyao shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't seen Wen Yu for a long time, and I haven't heard anything from Wen Yu."
Liu Wenyao knew a little bit about the reason. She heard from her father that Xuan Bao was studying with Bo Guxuan's boss.
But she wouldn't tell Zhang Xiaoli.
My sister-in-law is not a polite person, and she is quite good at climbing up the pole.
If she knew that Xuan Bao was studying with Bogu Xuan's boss, she would probably dare to use Xuan Bao's connections to go shopping at Bogu Xuan and make it cheaper for him.
She won't cause trouble to her sister's family!
Zhang Xiaoli was a little dissatisfied with her answer, "That's the matter of your biological sister's family. How come you don't know anything about it! You don't know that Xuan Bao received such a big reward from the emperor. Xuan Bao and the shopkeeper of Bogu Xuan know each other." You don’t know either!”
The weak family received a reward from the emperor because after Xuan Bao left yesterday, Zhang Xiaoli saw that the new year's gift sent by the weak family was much better than in previous years, especially the pieces of cloth. She wanted to give two to them. I make clothes for myself, my husband, and my children.
And Zhang Rui didn't like this little girl who was always sarcastic towards her mother, and she remembered that Xuan Bao said that this was a piece of cloth given by the emperor and could not be passed on to others, so she said that it was a piece of cloth given by the emperor and could not be passed on, as she would be beheaded. of.
These words shocked Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Xiaoli deeply!
Then Zhang Xiaoli asked Liu Wenyao what was going on. Liu Wenyao was not someone who liked to show off. She had always kept a low profile and would not publicize it in her husband's house just because her relatives on her mother's side received any honor. She only said: She was busy in the grocery store all day long and didn't know. She just heard her father mention Xuan Bao as if he had done something good and was rewarded by the emperor.
What Liu Wenyao said couldn't satisfy Zhang Xiaoli's curiosity. She felt that someone outside would have heard of such a big thing, so she immediately went out to find her good sisters to find out the news.
After this inquiring, she realized that Xiuxuan had made such a great contribution.
It was also because of this that today she changed her attitude from yesterday and warmly greeted Xuan Bao to come in and sit down.
Liu Wenyao said calmly: "I am busy in the shop from morning to night every day, and I don't have time to eat. How do I know?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiaoli frowned.
There were three women in a drama. Zhang Chengye was afraid that they would quarrel, so he hurriedly said: "It's my fault that I don't accompany you to your parents' house anymore. I don't even know that Xuan Bao got such a big reward from the emperor. After the Chinese New Year, I I will definitely accompany you to visit your mother’s house more often.”
Zhang Xiaoli actually knew that Liu Wenyao was really working in the grocery store all day long, and she relied on her to talk to Xuan Bao, so she didn't quarrel with Liu Wenyao anymore.
Liu Wenyao didn't want to see her husband-in-law sandwiched between three women, so she said, "Mom, I'll go and hang this picture of Guanyin sending children to the house first."
Mrs. Zhang nodded: "Yes, hang up the portrait first. You must hang it according to Xuan Bao's instructions."
Mrs. Zhang now only puts her grandson first.
Liu Wenyao went back to the house.
Zhang Xiaoli guessed: "I heard that Boguxuan has a relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo in the capital. Could it be that the weak family received a reward from the emperor, so the two families moved around because of this?"
"It should be!" Mrs. Zhang didn't have the heart to pay attention to this. She left these words and went back to the house to take a look at the family heirloom of the weak family.
She was worried that Mrs. Liu was not pious enough. After all, whether she could have a grandson in the coming year depended on it!
Zhang Xiaoli liked Boguxuan's things the most. Shopkeeper Gu might take Ruoxuan to Boguxuan. Thinking of this, she couldn't stay any longer and ran out in a hurry.
The grain store that Ruoxuan wanted to buy was across the street from Boguxuan.
As the end of the year approaches, there are many people in the city every day. Xianxuan's mouth is already watering when she smells the aroma of various snacks on the street.
When shopkeeper Gu drove a carriage to the vicinity of Bogu Boguxuan, then walk over and take a look, okay?"
Shopkeeper Gu refused directly: "There are too many people on the street and it is unsafe to walk."
Xuanyuan Que had long seen that a certain flower was so greedy that his mouth watered.
He was afraid that the carriage would be drowned in the flower's saliva, so he said: "Okay."
After hearing this, shopkeeper Gu could only say: "Then I will park the carriage at Boguxuan and let's walk!"
So shopkeeper Gu parked the carriage back to Boguxuan and walked on the street with his two children.
When Xiuxuan saw the stall selling popcorn, she immediately ran over: "Brother Xuanyuan, this is delicious! It tastes delicious!"
Then she said to the woman buying popcorn: "Mom, I want a pound of this!"
The woman said happily: "Okay, my popcorn is also sweetened with honey. It is very sweet and has a bit of floral fragrance, so it costs fifty cents per catty. I will weigh it for the girl."
Popcorn candy is made from popped rice and syrup.
At this time, rice is very expensive, sugar is even more expensive, and honey is the noblest among sugars. Ordinary popcorn candy costs 40 cents per catty, and the one with honey can be purchased directly for 50 cents per catty.
Others are only willing to spend two pennies to buy a small piece for their children to try. Only wealthy families are willing to buy it by the pound.
Ruoxuan took out a handful of money.
Shopkeeper Gu hurriedly said: "Miss Xuanbao, I'll just pay the money."
Xuanyuan Que said: "The ancient shopkeeper just needs to pay the money."
Shopkeeper Gu took out a handful of money, counted fifty coins and paid the silver.
"Xuan Bao!" At this time, a cheerful voice sounded from behind.
Zhang Jie went shopping with her eldest and second brothers today. She saw Ruoxuan and Xuanyuan Que from a distance. She quickly pulled her eldest and second brothers over and said, "Xuan Bao, are you coming to the city to go shopping too?"
Ruoxuan was also very happy to hear Zhang Jie's voice. She turned around and responded with a smile: "No, I came to see the shop."
Zhang Jie didn't know why: "What store are you looking at?"
"I plan to buy a shop, so I came to take a look!"
"Xuan Bao wants to buy a shop? What are you buying it for? My eldest brother and my second brother will accompany you to have a look and give you some advice!"
"Buy it to open a study."
Zhang Qian's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Xuan Bao opens a study to sell books. I will definitely go to support him as soon as possible and tell my classmates."
Zhang Lian felt that the weak family did not have a shop and did not know how to do business or how to choose a shop. Finally, he knew one thing better than Wei Xuan. He immediately said: "Where is the shop you chose? Let's help you see if it is suitable to open one." Study."
"It's right in front!"
Zhang Lian: "If you want to open a study, the shop must be located near the academy."
Zhang Jie: "No need, no matter where Xuan Bao opens the study, the business must be very good, right?"
Zhang Qian nodded: "Yes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley."
Zhang Xiaoli hurried to Boguxuan. Unexpectedly, she saw Ruoxuan and shopkeeper Gu leaving Boguxuan. She continued to follow. At this moment, she was about to take the opportunity to get close to Ruoxuan while she was shopping. Unexpectedly, she saw The county magistrate's two sons and his daughter ran over to greet Ruoxuan.
She was extremely shocked. Was this Xuan Bao so familiar with the county magistrate's daughter and son?
She didn't step forward, wanting to hear what they had to say.
