When the sky was dim, Chen Xiaobei set out. He brought thirty wild eggs with him to try his luck in the market. He also took fifty coins, which was enough for him to buy in the county.
He's pretty lucky.
Old Wu tidied up a corner of his vegetable stall and asked him to put wild eggs on it.
What made him even more delighted was that not long after, the God of Wealth, Miss Liu Rumei, appeared again.
This time Chen Xiaobei was much bolder. Taking advantage of Liu Rumei's picking of vegetables, he said with a smile, "Miss Liu, look at these pheasants. They are laid by the pheasants you bought two days ago. You can eat them." Physical fitness."
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Rumei's eyes.
She stretched out her jade hand, pinched a wild egg, held it in front of her and observed it carefully.
The sight just now made Chen Xiaobei almost drool.
Her arms were as white as lotus roots, her fingers were slender and spotless, and her nails were painted that bright red. She didn’t know what material the nail polish was made of in this era.
And the moment he stretched it out, there was a faint fragrance, which made him feel relaxed and relaxed.
Sigh, you said it was so easy for you to travel through time, why don't you travel back to Liu Rumei's side?
Liu Rumei raised her head and was about to ask the price when she saw Chen Xiaobei staring at her stupidly.
Liu Rumei coughed lightly, but Chen Xiaobei obviously hadn't woken up from his meditation yet.
At this time, Xiao Qing, the long-haired maid next to Liu Rumei, got angry. She picked up a vegetable leaf and threw it in Chen Xiaobei's face, "You are so rude, who made you stare at my lady like that?" ?”
Upon seeing this, Lao Wu hurried forward and tugged Chen Xiaobei's arm, "Are you getting sick again? Miss Liu is asking you something, why are you giggling there?"
What Chen Xiaobei said in his heart was not that he was giggling, but that he was thinking of an excuse.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he hugged Liu Rumei and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I was distracted just now. I suddenly wanted to add two wild eggs when frying cucumbers. It must taste delicious. .”
I have to say that Chen Xiaobei's promotion really tempted Liu Rumei.
"That's true. I haven't tasted wild eggs fried with cucumbers."
"Okay, go back and deliver your wild eggs to my house."
After saying that, he turned to look at the long-haired maid next to him, "Xiao Qing, please make amends to this young master."
Young Master?
There was obviously a trace of contempt in Xiao Qing's eyes, and Chen Xiaobei also understood that he didn't look like a young man in the way he was dressed. Like a beggar, he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, it was my fault just now. I was really distracted. Please forgive me, Miss Liu."
After Liu Rumei left, Old Wu glanced at him and said, "My little brother hasn't married yet!"
Chen Xiaobei pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Hey, my family is so poor, how can I marry my wife?"
"Whether you have a wife or not, in the future, don't look so straight when you see Miss Liu. If she gets angry and sends you to the government, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
As soon as Chen Xiaobei delivered the wild eggs to Liu Mansion, thirty wild eggs were exchanged for thirty copper coins.
With these thirty copper coins, Chen Xiaobei became happy again.
In addition to buying salt, he also bought some grain. In addition, he went to the rouge and gouache store to buy a box of rouge. On the way out of the city gate, I bought six more steamed buns.
Before noon, Chen Xiaobei came back. When she saw the meat buns, Chen Qiaoer clapped her hands and jumped with joy. She grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Oh, Qiao'er, don't choke. I'll get you some water." Cui Hongyu quickly got up and went into the house to pour some water.
Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to follow him into the room, took out the hidden rouge from his sleeve, and handed it to Cui Hongyu.
"This is for you!"
"rouge."
Cui Hongyu subconsciously exclaimed.
She knows the goods, this is not only Rouge, but also the best one in the county, produced by Zhao Ji.
This box of rouge costs five eldest sons.
From the surprise in her eyes, Chen Xiaobei knew that he had made the right purchase.
"Kuyu, do you like it?"
Cui Hongyu nodded, then shook his head, "No, no, husband, this rouge is too expensive, I..."
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, "It's not expensive at all. My woman will use the best."
His words revealed confidence and a hint of domineering.
Cui Hongyu was stunned.
Everyone said that Chen Xiaobei was timid and cowardly. He is a useless guy, but the gift he gave himself today was too much of a surprise, and what he said just now was also very convincing.
This seems different from the legend.
But thinking about what Chen Xiaobei said last night, Cui Hongyu hesitated again.
After lunch, Chen Xiaobei went to catch up on his sleep.
After all, I got up early in the morning and made another trip to the county town.
He fell asleep, but Cui Hongyu didn't. It wasn't that she wasn't sleepy, but that she decided to do something big.
As the saying goes, no merit will be rewarded, so Chen Xiaobei gave him such a precious rouge, so he couldn't help but give some more subsidies to the family.
Cui Hongyu took out a baggage from her dowry, which contained silk and satin that she bought from the county town.
This silk satin originally cost dozens of copper coins. I dreamed of wearing a red wedding dress made of this silk satin and marrying in style, but now I no longer have any use for this silk satin.
Therefore, the only use of this silk is to exchange it for copper coins to subsidize the family.
"Qiao'er, when your brother wakes up soon, you can tell me that I'm going back to my parents' house, and I'll be back before dark!"
Chen Qiaoer nodded obediently and continued playing in the yard. What did she know at such a young age?
Cui Hongyu left Hetou Village, followed by Chen Ermao and the others.
Three miles away from the village, seeing no one around, Chen Ermao waved his hand, and several second-rate men swarmed up and surrounded Cui Hongyu.
Cui Hongyu panicked when he saw Chen Ermao and the others coming up.
He hurriedly picked up a stone from the ground, held it in his hand, and deliberately shouted at the top of his voice, "Chen Ermao, what do you want to do?"
Chen Ermao chuckled and said, "Miss Hongyu, don't be afraid. You are married to brother Xiaobei. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. I am Chen Xiaobei's brother, so I am your father."
Cui Hongyu's eyes widened, "Chen Ermao, you are full of nonsense and you are not afraid of God's punishment."
Chen Ermao looked around and saw that no one was coming. He became more courageous and said, "Being punished by God will happen in the future. Now, I just want to have fun with you."
As he spoke, he pounced forward to catch Cui Hongyu.
Cui Hongyu is a weak woman after all. Although he tried to remain calm on the surface, he was already panicking in his heart. When he saw Chen Ermao approaching, he immediately threw the stone in his hand in panic.
The stone was impartial and hit Chen Ermao's eyes, which hurt the boy so much that he groaned and squatted on the ground, covering his eyes.
