Old Man Li subconsciously glanced at Li Yuan and saw her rummaging around in the big backpack, and then handed it over with a package in her hand.
"Sir, this is shredded tobacco. We don't sell it in Liuyun County. I brought it back from Fucheng."
When Old Man Li heard that it was a rare thing, he quickly reached out to take it, and then opened the oil paper outside.
After seeing the tobacco inside, he lowered his head and took a special sniff.
"Good smoke!"
Li Yuan saw this and smiled: "I hope you like it!"
Now that the delivery has begun, Li Yuan will directly deliver all the things she brought.
The things she gave were not very expensive, they were just the things that everyone would give when they came home.
Such as meat, pastries, and brown sugar.
The ones given to his sister-in-law and siblings were the rouge, lipstick, makeup powder and other items that Xie Yanzhi bought from Shuxiang Pavilion.
Of course, those few feet of cloth were also given.
There are few women who really don't like this, including Ling and Ma who are mothers-in-law.
Mrs. Wang felt distressed. She directly pulled Li Yuan into her room, and then asked: "Tell me honestly, how much did you spend on those things today? You child, how many times have I told you this?" Now, you have to live a careful life. Everyone says that Shao'an can pass the imperial examination, and he will go to Beijing to take the exam. You can calculate for yourself, how much will this expense cost? When Shao'an becomes a Jinshi and becomes an official, you can do the calculation again. How much will it cost to buy a house or something later?"
As she said this, the old lady felt so distressed that she wished she could take back everything she had just given away and take it back in exchange for money.
Li Yuan knew that the old lady cared about her, so she whispered: "Hey, actually those don't have much money. I went to Fucheng before and was lucky enough to make a lot of money, so I haven't touched the money that Brother Xie gave me yet." ,Do not worry."
Mrs. Wang looked at her with disbelief: "Besides setting up a stall selling noodles and doing embroidery work, what else can you make?"
Li Yuan was a little speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to give people the impression that this was it!
After thinking about it, she said: "Miscellaneous, I took a cart full of corn cobs to Fucheng to sell. Do you know how rare these fresh corn cobs are before the Chinese New Year? I sold one cart for fifty two."
Mrs. Wang was a little suspicious and asked, "Where did you get the fresh corn on the cob today?"
"Milk, we can all grow fresh vegetables today, so what's wrong with growing corn on the cob? Okay, don't worry about money, I've got it all figured out."
Mrs. Wang still looked at her suspiciously: "You really didn't lie to me? You didn't spend a penny of the money Shaoan gave you?"
"No! Nai, I promise you. Also, the story book written by Brother Xie is very popular in Fucheng, so he shared a lot of money. I gave him another book before the year. If nothing happens, he will be a Jinshi next year If I stay in the capital, I can definitely buy a larger second hospital."
Mrs. Wang felt relieved after hearing what she said so confidently.
But after all, he still cared about her, and said: "Shao'an's drinking ability is bad. I heard Junzi and Zhengzi come back and say that on the night you got married, some Master Bai came to the door, seemingly asking for money, and then Shaoan got drunk. Then have you consummated your marriage? Didn't you give me any money? The county magistrate hasn't arrived yet, so why does he ask you for money? If you are targeted by him in the future, how can you get away with it? "
Li Yuan was a little embarrassed to talk about the boudoir to outsiders, even if that person was her grandmother.
Hearing this, she directly changed the subject: "It's because I didn't give you the money that Brother Xie drank all the wine. Don't worry, Magistrate Xu won't do anything to us. Brother Xie said that someone will come over today, probably In the afternoon. So milk, we have to go back after dinner."
Mrs. Wang was a little anxious and asked: "This person is coming this afternoon, isn't he County Magistrate Xu?"
"No, he is the eldest grandson of the General Protector's Mansion. He has a good relationship with Brother Xie. His uncle is what I told you before. The person who takes over the government office now is Mr. Meng, the young minister of Dali Temple. Mr. Chen is here to take a look. I just happened to meet Magistrate Xu, do you think he would dare to act rashly when he saw that our backer is so big?"
The biggest official Mrs. Wang has ever seen in her life is the county magistrate. Who knows what the Protector General's Mansion is like.
When she heard that he was from the general's mansion, she thought he was a very powerful person.
How dare a mere county magistrate dare to confront a general head-on.
With such a backer, she really doesn't have to worry.
Thinking of this, she said, go talk to your aunt first and ask her to cook early. After you have eaten, you should go back quickly. Remember to treat others well and don’t neglect them. "
"Miscellaneous, I know! Also, Brother Xie has taken care of all the road signs and Mr. Chen helped stamp them. If things go wrong here, don't be reluctant to part with your belongings and go to Luyang Mansion to find Mr. Chen. In addition, , you should be aware that this is still during the Lantern Festival. The temperature in the past few days is obviously higher than in previous years. You must keep an eye on the tribesmen and let them plant drought-resistant crops. Don’t continue to plant them. It’s rice.”
"Don't worry. After Jun Zizhengzi came back yesterday, he went to see your Uncle Hua, and then they called your father over to discuss it. The clan means that since the weather is getting warmer, there is no need to wait until the first month of the year, and the land can be cultivated now. . Our Junzi family has no land and two cows. Many people in the clan want to lend it to them when I use it up."
"Since we are about to start plowing the land, I will first prepare the sweet potatoes that have been improved and can produce high yields in the next few days. In a few days, um, the twentieth of the first lunar month, you ask Uncle Hua to bring people to the county to pull them out, and we will unify the Li family'ao Seedlings are grown by cuttings.”
"Okay, then prepare things when you go back. You can't give this to the clan for free. Let your father discuss with everyone later how to get some money back to you. After all, we didn't spend money to buy anything and give it to everyone for free. That’s the truth!”
"Nai, I'll leave all the family affairs to you. I'll go back here and Channiang and the others will open the business the day after tomorrow."
The old lady felt sorry for Caiwei. When she heard this, she took out two pairs of pink cloth shoes from the kang cabinet.
"Mother Yuan, I have to use the money I have on hand now, so I can't buy many good things for Caiwei, so I made two pairs of cloth shoes with my own hands."
Li Yuan reached out and took it: "I want to thank Grandma Caiwei. These shoes are very good. She will definitely like them!"
Mrs. Wang thought about it for a while, still a little worried, and said: "Mother Yuan, Caiwei is getting better and better now. You are busy working in the county town, and the men in the family are busy with scientific examinations. Just let the two of you go." It's not the same thing if you have a child at home. Otherwise, you can send it back so that your aunt, your aunt, and Miaomiao and I can watch it, and everything will be fine."
"Nai, if there is nothing going on at home, the door will be closed, and Brother Xie and Junzi are both here. If anything happens, just call out. And look at Caiwei's appearance now, even if she is thrown on the street, she will No one is going to give it a second glance. So just relax and don’t think about it.”
