Xiao Yichen quickly went down to prepare the Geng Tie and small gifts for the wedding...
Shen Nanbao was not idle either. Every day he was either chatting with his grandmother or going out with Fengyue and others to buy dowry.
Because of this, all the bosses from all over the place got to know her and knew that the newly arrived Zhao family in Dongliu Road had a young lady who was about to get married.
As soon as Shen Nanbaofu stepped into the gold and silver shop, the owner of the gold and silver shop laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "Nanzhu has just arrived. Madam, do you want to take a look?"
Shen Nanbao said well.
When the waiter wearing a melon-skin hat heard this, he picked up the curtain and entered the inner room. As he walked in, his voice sounded in the wall, "I just came down from the city gate yesterday. Our boss hasn't shown it to anyone yet." , Miss, you are the first..."
The sound gradually died down, and when I saw the waiter again, he had already walked out with a box in his hands, put it on the counter with a sigh and handed it to Shen Nanbao to see.
The pearl is round and crystal clear, embedded in a vermilion base, and becomes more and more full of color, like a child's fist, as pleasing to the eye as it is.
Shen Nanbao was indeed pleased, "How much does this cost?"
At this time, the boss said: "Originally, the asking price was twenty taels. If you want it, I will spare you five taels."
Fifteen taels, that's too expensive, it's worth an ordinary person's two or three years of chewing grain.
Shen Nanbao hesitated, stretched out a hand, and put down a silver ingot firmly, "It's just fifteen taels, my boss can say it with a bow on his head."
Shen Nanbao was startled when he heard the familiar voice.
She turned her head and looked at the person who came, her smiling eyes shining like stars, "Why are you here?"
There was a hint of joking in Xiao Yichen's eyes, "How you got here is how I got here."
Shen Nanbao's cheeks were faintly red. From the corner of his eye, he saw his boss holding a button to weigh the silver. He hurriedly said: "Forget it, I won't buy it. I'm sorry for bothering my boss."
The silver was about to be given away before it was warm in his hands. The owner was a little reluctant to give it away. He held the silver ingot and smiled, "My dear, this is a fine southern pearl. It's just one. You can use it as a dowry or something." My son has a face,"
He suddenly said the "dowry", which made Shen Nanbao's face turn red with embarrassment. Then he looked at Xiao Yichen beside him, and the corners of his mouth were not pursed.
Shen Nanbao shook his head vigorously, and pulled Xiao Yichen out of the gold and silver shop with the silver in his pocket.
Xiao Yichen said at this time: "Just buy it. It's not worth much."
His understatement made Shen Nanbao frown, "It's not worth much. When you've finished drinking the water, how much did you bring with you when you came out? How long will it last? It's not easy to make careful calculations. What will happen in the future?" Why don't I have to accompany you to eat bran-thick vegetables?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Shen Nanbao realized what he had said and his ears started to burn.
Xiao Yichen, as for Xiao Yichen, did not show anger after hearing her rebuke, but instead grinned, "Even if I really eat the chaff and swallow the vegetables, I would be reluctant to let you eat the chaff. Besides, I said that Nanzhu is not worth it. How much is it? That’s because it’s given to you. As long as it’s given to you, a thousand and twenty thousand taels are not worth much.”
Shen Nanbao choked for a moment, and listened to the sound of Lu Kui covering her mouth and laughing, and stomped her feet angrily, "You talk nonsense and are full of nonsense! It makes me look like a carefree little woman." . ”
After saying that, regardless of what he was about to say, he turned around and headed back home.
Xiao Yichen hurriedly followed him, "How can I be a nonsense? I am clearly telling the truth."
"You walk slowly, it just rained yesterday, and the bluestone was wet and slippery, so you can't step on it."
Zhengxiang said, Shen Nanbao in front stumbled, his body shook, and he was about to fall down with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky.
Xiao Yichen quickly grabbed her with quick eyes and hands, "Look, what did I say..."
Shen Nanbao let go of his hand and said to him, "You were the one who cursed me. How could I have fallen if I were walking normally?"
No matter how stable the little lady is on weekdays, her little temper will always be outrageous in its own way. Xiao Yichen couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm the one who cursed you. Now that I've cursed you, do you have to let me support you so that you can repay it alive?" My sin just now?”
Shen Nanbao was always pretending to be angry, but after being coaxed by him like this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Yichen saw her smile and took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Wait a minute (this chapter is not over!)
Chapter 55 Neighbors
Wherever you want to go, I will go with you. "
Under the skylight, his brows and eyes were soft, with a strange and comforting warmth, but it did not prevent Shen Nanbao from glancing at him, "Even if I really want to go somewhere, you shouldn't go with me."
How can there be any reason for a young man to accompany his future wife to choose a dowry...
The two of them returned to Zhao Mansion.
As soon as they entered the hospital, they saw the baby squirming and chasing after the duck to bite. Fengyue followed behind and screamed, "Don't run, don't run..."
Seeing Shen Nanbao and his party coming back, Feng Yue whispered with a flushed face: "Master, sister..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the duck and the baby turned around again, and duck down, dog hair, dust and other things rushed towards them.
Fortunately for Shen Nanbao, Xiao Yichen's quick eyesight and hands quickly blocked her completely.
Feng Yue was miserable, because while she was talking, her mouth was stuffed with duck hair, which made her cough.
Old Mrs. Zhao, who was adding firewood to the kitchen, followed the sound. Seeing Fengyue's miserable state, she was angry and amused, "I asked you a few more words just now if it's okay. You tell me it's okay. You are the one." Is this how it works?"
Fengyue's face was already red, but when she heard these words, the red color reached to the root of her neck, "No wonder me, this duck is so good at jumping, I can't catch it no matter what."
Mrs. Zhao saw through it but didn't say anything. She just glanced at Fengyue and said, "You go to the kitchen and boil the water for me, and I'll catch the duck."
There was no reason for Fengyue to disobey, so she immediately said "Okay" and stumbled into the kitchen as if her feet were greased.
When Shen Nanbao and the others were left, Mrs. Zhao only glanced at them and said, "I'm tired after going out for such a long time. Let's go back to the house to drink some water and rest for a while."
Seeing that Shen Nanbao was about to speak, Mrs. Zhao stood up and stretched out her hands to grab the duck that was flapping its wings.
When Shen Nanbao saw this, he swallowed his throat and swallowed back what he had just planned to do to help. Xiao Yichen said, "Shall I help you pluck your hair?"
Mrs. Zhao looked unbelieving, "You know how?"
Xiao Yichen bared his big white teeth and said, "I used to replace the Huotou Army in the tent camp for some time, so I know a little bit about it."
This was not the first time that Shen Nanbao heard him talk about the past, but every time she heard it, it felt very strange. She really couldn't imagine the scene of such a porcelain person dancing in the smoke.
Therefore, Shen Nan Baoshui stopped drinking, moved a small spoon and sat under the dripping water, and watched Xiao Yichen from a distance sitting in the yard, rolling up his sleeves, holding a duck in one hand and plucking the feathers with bamboo tweezers in the other. After plucking for a while, Holding the bamboo tweezers, he dipped them in the hot soup and plucked out the hair again.
That movement... was as skillful as a master who specialized in this.
Shen Nanbao smiled as he looked at it.
It was at this time that there was a knock on the front door. Fengyue and Lu Kui were helping Old Mrs. Zhao in the kitchen. Old Mrs. Zhao went to find Mr. Wang and the others to play chess again. Shen Nanbao greeted Xiao Yichen and went there in person. The front yard door opened.
Standing outside the door was a woman with her head wrapped in pink cloth. She had high cheekbones, a thin face, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that had been dulled by time. When she saw Shen Nanbao, they twinkled slightly.
Shen Nanbao hesitated, "You are..."
The woman rubbed her hands on her apron and said, "I, I belong to your neighbor..."
He hesitated to say this, and his face turned completely red.
The old woman with inverted triangular eyes behind her couldn't stand it anymore, so she pushed the woman away and said, "It's just a trivial matter. I can't even talk about it. I don't know what the use of my eldest son marrying you is."
Cursing and spitting, the old woman turned to look at Shen Nanbao.
She had probably never seen such a beautiful person before. The old woman's cloudy eyes suddenly shone with light, "I heard from the neighbors that a beautiful little lady came to our alley. I still don't believe it. I fell in love with her at first sight." It really is……"
Shen Nanbao extended his hand not to hit the smiling person, so Shen Nanbao was very polite, "Old lady, I'm so complimentary. What's the reason for you coming?"
The old woman didn't want to talk about it, and said with a snarl: "I forgot to introduce you. I am the mother of my neighbor Wang Fugui. You can just call me Wang Po. This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Fang. We are here. Because of my daughter...she just gave birth and is a little weak...and our family..."
Wang Po smiled dryly, turned out her two empty pockets for Shen Nanbao to take a look at, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I just heard (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 55 Neighbors
There are ducks quacking here, so I want to come to you and ask for wings and legs. I can go back and make some soup for our youngest daughter to drink and nourish her. "
This was an easy thing, so Shen Nanbao agreed, "However, we are still plucking the hair. How about we finish plucking the hair later and ask someone to send it over?"
Wang Po said, "What's so good about this? We've taken your things and we're going to make you work hard."
As she said that, Mrs. Wang pushed Chen Fang forward and said, "My daughter-in-law is the most diligent in these tasks on weekdays. I let her pull it out for you. This is our thanks to you."
Before Shen Nanbao could make a sound, Wang Po pushed Chen Fang through the door, minding her own business.
Although Shen Nanbao had just moved in, Xiao Yichen spent enough money to provide them with a good living, so he purchased these furniture and furnishings, which were not only better than those in Gyeonggi Province before, but were at least worth some money.
Therefore, when Wang Po and Chen Fang saw it, their eyes widened.
Chen Fang was okay. She came back to her senses and saw the velvet blanket under her feet. She was immediately frightened and jumped back a few steps. "Girl, I'm sorry. My shoes were dirty and I stepped on them and broke them." blanket."
Shen Nanbao was just about to say that it was okay, but Wang Po on the other side shrugged her nose and made a snort, "What did I tell you in the past? I told you to be more careful, but you just didn't listen. Take a look. , you have trampled on people’s blankets and soiled them! You are so stupid! I don’t know what the use of my eldest son marrying you! He can’t lay eggs, and his hands and feet are not very good..."
