Several ladies who were familiar with each other greeted each other.
Then we discussed clothes.
"This goose-yellow material is suitable for Mrs. Liang, who has fair skin."
"Then I'll buy this one. The purple one is pretty good too."
"Buy them all, your family doesn't need that little money."
"I have so many clothes that I can't finish them all. If you buy this purple one, it will definitely look good. You are tall and tall."
Ren Li glanced at Su Yan from time to time, a little worried that she was feeling uncomfortable. After all, she was the only woman who couldn't go.
This is not a good thing for anyone.
I was quite envious of her before, but now it seems that I am lucky to be famous and influential.
She didn't waste long, picked out some clothes and paid the bill.
On the contrary, Su Yan carefully selected clothes for a long time, choosing two sets for each family member, and also bought Qin An a belt inlaid with white jade.
One piece is worth more than ten taels of silver.
But I didn’t feel bad, so I simply bought it with the hair crown and the jade hairpin. The hair crown was made of pure white jade, so it cost about a hundred taels of silver.
Even though Ren Li was not short of money, she was shocked, "You bought it so expensively?"
“I don’t have these at home, so if you want to buy them, just buy them.”
Su Yan has a lot of money now. In the past two days, seven shops in the county have paid her money, and she has five to six thousand silver.
Now the family is not as good as before but more than below.
"That's great too."
Ren Li was a little curious and asked directly: "Then the academy said it was a rumor that your family copied filthy books. Why didn't you say it?"
Su Yan did not shy away and admitted directly: "I copied it. At that time, my ears could not be cured. My family was worried that the money at home was not enough for my treatment."
Ren Li didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked at Su Yan and sighed in her heart, Su Yan was actually very lucky.
When she remarries, her husband-in-law treats her wholeheartedly. Even if the name is unfair, it is already very good.
"No one will mention this matter after a while."
Su Yan smiled and said with her eyes that nothing was wrong, "Have you not bought anything yet?"
“I’ll go back if I don’t buy it.”
Ren Li shook her head and sent her back first before turning back to her house.
She had to discuss this matter with her father-in-law. Su Yan was more important to their family and they couldn't afford to offend her.
Mr. Ren thought about it and couldn't find a way to get the best of both worlds. If he didn't go to the book club, the Ren family would have one less option.
If you offend Su Yan, the shop won't be able to ask her to help in the future.
"She asked you to go? What was her tone?"
"Well, the tone is quite good."
"I don't know whether this woman is generous or indifferent."
"I think she doesn't seem to care. She doesn't like it very much."
Mrs. Ren Li has dealt with Su Yan many times and said that she is good at doing business, but she is not a philistine, but has a sense of contentment and getting what she wants.
Master Ren glanced at her and said, "If she cares, no one in the county can tolerate her."
If she goes against all the food shops in the county, she will not end well.
On the contrary, it is very good for her now.
Firstly, every shop will take care of her, so she can do well in any business. Secondly, it is easier and she can earn more money.
Then he said: "If you have nothing to do, just teach her a lesson. In the future, you will still have to take care of this house on your own."
This statement is obviously an endorsement of Ren Li's daughter-in-law. Although she sometimes has a bad temper, she knows how to do good for the family.
Qin family
Qin An didn't find his wife when he came back, so he came out and asked Erdan in the hall: "Where is mother?"
Erdan is taking a break today and doing homework at home. "Mom and an aunt went out to buy clothes."
"Mom said that when dad comes back, you should turn over the dried meat in the stove and don't break it."
He suddenly remembered something, "Mom said I need to apply hot sauce. The hot sauce is in the cabinet."
"Dad, I just wanted to do it, but I was afraid it wouldn't work."
Qin An said "Yeah", "You don't need to worry about these things. Let's go out and play now. I'll do my homework later."
The exam is coming up soon, and Erdan wants to do well on his own so that his parents don't have to worry.
"I don't want to go out and play."
Qin An glanced at him but said nothing. He turned around and went to the kitchen to see the dried meat his wife had made. The aroma was already coming out.
After turning the noodles and applying the chili sauce, Su Yan came in after a while carrying large and small bags, panting from exhaustion, "Erdan, has your father come back yet?"
"I'm back. Daddy is working in the kitchen." Erdan quickly ran over to help her carry it.
Su Yan sat on the stool and took a breath, "That gray cloth bag is your clothes. Go try it on and see if you can wear it."
"It depends on whether you like the color or not. If you don't like it, you can change it."
It’s not that you don’t take him to buy something, you take him to buy it. He points to the cheap one and sometimes refuses to buy it.
"Mom, I still have a lot of clothes." Erdan said sadly for Yinqian.
Su Yan stretched out her hand to touch his head and said with a smile: "Mom doesn't even care about money. Why do you feel so worried about it? Everyone in the family has it. Mom also bought two pairs. I'll show you how to wear them later. You can help me see if they look good or not."
"Mom looks good in anything she wears." Erdan said from the bottom of his heart.
Qin An in the kitchen came out when he heard his wife's voice. When their eyes met, Su Yan waved and said, "The collar is not done yet."
Qin An subconsciously bent over, and Su Yan stretched out her hand to help him, "You have to look in the mirror if you are in a hurry when you go out, otherwise I will blame you again."
She was amused and helpless when she talked about this matter. He was a very rough man in dressing, and sometimes he couldn't dress well. His master had told him several times to pay attention to his appearance.
Having said several times that he had a short memory, the Master started with her and made her serve him well and dress him well.
But there was a reason why he was anxious. He got up early to cook, feed the children, and feed the horses.
He will go out after doing these things.
Qin An looked at her with a smile, and finally his lips landed on the tip of her nose, and he said in a low voice: "Go to the book club with me tomorrow."
Afraid that she might not hear clearly, he raised his voice and said, "Come to the book club with me."
Su Yan thought he didn't know about the lack of post, so she explained: "The academy didn't give me a post, so I can't go."
"You go by yourself tomorrow. I bought some clothes for you. They will be washed later and I will dry them for you at night."
"I saw a nice-looking belt today. I bought it for you. I'll wear it to the academy tomorrow."
"Well, I'll go even if I don't have any book stickers." Qin An insisted.
Before Su Yan could say anything, she heard his slightly quiet voice, "I know who my wife is better than anyone else."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You are my wife, not a concubine."
The less these people want to see his wife, the more he will show up with her. He only has one wife.
He has only one name and no right words.
Su Yan's heart warmed, but she still shook her head and said, "It's hard to get in touch with those people in the academy, and it's even harder to get in touch with you when I go there."
She knew better than anyone else that it was probably because of her that Qin An offended his colleagues in the academy.
If it weren't for the fact that she was a widow, he would have received so much criticism and discrimination.
Another man wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
Qin An said in a low voice: "If you don't go, I won't go either. Others have wives, but I don't."
He paused and then said: "No face."
She didn't expect him to say this. Su Yan looked at him funny and finally agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you. Then you go out with me to buy a pair of embroidered shoes. The threads of these pairs have come out."
You can't be frugal at this time, others just want to laugh at them.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to turn off the fire and cook the bacon."
"I saw wild garlic for sale when I came back. I'll buy some later."
"good."
I went out late, and most of the shops were closed. I walked around half a circle before I saw a shop.
The owner greeted: "These are the only pairs left. They come from the capital, but they are a bit expensive, only eighteen taels per pair."
It was indeed more expensive. Su Yan took it and looked at it carefully. Just when she was about to say something, Qin An took a piece of fifty taels of silver and gave it to her boss, "I want two pairs."
Su Yan quickly stopped and said, "I just want a pair."
"Liangshuang, Master asked me to visit Master Sun during the New Year." Qin An insisted.
Hearing this, Su Yan didn't ask anything. After buying it, she asked: "Master Sun?"
"Nancheng Bian was written by him." Qin An said.
Su Yan still knew a little about Nancheng. He was a very famous master. The master at the academy was willing to introduce Qin An to him, which proved that he valued Qin An.
It's probably also the work of Xiao Lan and the others.
Of course they have to accept it, they have no choice.
"The money from the academy?"
Seeing him nodding, she held his arm and said, "You have worked hard for half a month, and you just used it to buy me shoes."
"I'll buy it for you if I have it." Qin An didn't hesitate at all.
Su Yan smiled, raised her head slightly and looked at the sunset in the distance, "The sky is beautiful today."
"I'll take you to see it."
"Um?"
"Go and take a look at the mountainside."
"Now that we have eaten, we will feed Tuantuan later."
"It's okay."
The two came back to lead the horses. Cuilan asked, "Master, madam, where are you going?"
Su Yan was embarrassed to say that Qin An took her to see the sunset, "Go pick some wild garlic. If you are hungry, eat first."
Qin An looked at her and chuckled. The two of them arrived at the halfway point of the mountain where the sunset had just set, so there was not much to see.
Su Yan smiled and said: "Look for wild garlic."
Wild garlic is plentiful this season and can be found everywhere. Just pull a few handfuls and it will be enough to stir-fry bacon.
It was a bit cold going down the mountain, so Qin An asked Su Yan to sit facing him, then held her in his arms and covered her with his coat.
She looks like a stolen daughter-in-law.
He laughed out loud, and Su Yan looked up at him, "Why are you laughing?"
"My wife is pretty."
"After studying, you will be able to praise others."
…
Academy, Chenshi
People were coming and going, and there was a lot of calligraphy and painting from the moment you entered the door. This was not a book club, it was obviously selling calligraphy and painting, but it just sounded elegant.
When Qin An brought Su Yan in, many people looked over. The ladies who knew the goods could see that their clothes were not cheap.
I felt a little contemptuous of him.
But Qin An and Su Yan ignored their gazes. Qin An put his arm around Su Yan's shoulders in front of everyone, regardless of his behavior.
Let Su Yan not be afraid, he will be there to support her.
Originally, Su Yan just wanted to look at calligraphy and paintings with Qin An, but when she met Mrs. Qi, she wanted to buy some calligraphy and paintings, and there were quite a few, so she bought a dozen or so paintings.
It's obvious that he's trying to show off his fatness.
Su Yan said out loud: "I sold these calligraphy and paintings. I will pay double the amount of money for selling them."
The calligraphy and painting books are for the highest price.
She wants to make Mrs. Qi lose face like this. The scholarly family is actually an empty shell.
Mrs. Qi's face suddenly turned ugly, but she still put on airs and said, "I'll pay double as well."
Su Yan said "Oh" and said with a smile: "I will pay three times."
Mrs. Qi was so angry that the square handkerchief in her hand wrinkled, "I'll pay three times as well."
Three times that's a few hundred taels of silver, so Su Yan stopped arguing with her, "Mrs. Qi really comes from a scholarly family, so I'll give it to you."
Then he turned around and pointed at the row of calligraphy and paintings on the other side, "I want those."
If she didn't buy it, others would think she couldn't afford it. Just to show these people, even though she was a widow, she was still richer than them.
Mrs. Qi forced herself to spend a lot of extra money, naturally she didn't want to because her family wouldn't be able to afford so much money for a while.
But in front of so many respectable people, she had to buy it even if she didn't want to, otherwise she would have thought that his Qi family couldn't compare to these two.
"Send it to my house tomorrow."
She turned around and said, "I'm afraid those calligraphy and paintings are not cheap."
It means she is afraid that Su Yan cannot afford it.
The master who recorded it was also a little embarrassed. After all, the Qin family was not very famous in the county, and the Qi family had a family business there.
Su Yan said: "I didn't bring any money, but this little money is not difficult for my family."
"If you are not worried, go to the bank to get it now."
Ren Li helped and said: "I will guarantee them."
"I can do that too." The lady from another restaurant also said.
Mrs. Qi looked at the two people and was a little angry, but Mrs. Ren Li was not afraid of her, and the two families had no business contacts.
With their guarantee, the master who recorded it nodded, "The total is one thousand two hundred taels of silver."
His voice was a little soft, and Su Yan didn't hear it clearly for a moment. She looked at Qin An, who said, "One thousand, two hundred taels of silver."
Before Su Yan said anything, Mrs. Qi stabbed: "Don't you think it's cheap?"
Su Yan smiled and said: "It's quite cheap, only more than a thousand taels."
Mrs. Qi suddenly choked and had nothing to say.
"I don't want any of these paintings and calligraphy. I'll give them to the private school in the town."
As soon as Su Yan said this, everyone was shocked. They said they didn't want more than a thousand silver.
There are calligraphy and paintings that can be sold for some silver in the future, but now more than a thousand taels of silver have been wasted.
"Please ask the boy at the door to go to the bank and tell him that the Qin family of the perfume shop wants to withdraw money."
Immediately, a boy ran out. After more than a quarter of an hour, the shopkeeper of the bank came over and was very polite to Su Yan, "Mrs. Qin, do you want to withdraw some money?"
"Well, I want one thousand two hundred taels of silver." Su Yan said.
The shopkeeper of the bank nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone send it over in a minute. Please sign it."
Su Yan gently patted Qin An and motioned for him to sign. Qin An didn't move, obviously wanting her to sign.
Let outsiders know that she is in charge.
Not many men can give in at this time. Su Yan was moved, and she would not let him lose face at this time.
She said aloud: "Mr. Sir, go and sign, my hand hurts."
Qin An had no choice but to bring it over to sign. The shopkeeper acted quickly and sent it over in a moment. Then Su Yan looked at Mrs. Qi. "Mrs. Qi, won't you hand it over?"
Mrs. Qi held back her breath and said, "I am not from a small family like you."
Su Yan said "Oh", "Mrs. Qi is quite generous."
Who in the entire county doesn't know how much money the Qi family can have from just a perfume shop?
But he has a lot of calligraphy and paintings at home.
After the book meeting ended, the Qin family left. On the way, Su Yan whispered: "I'm afraid the Qi family will sell their shop or calligraphy and painting."
"Ms. sir, later you ask someone to go to the Qi family and ask if they want to sell the shop. The Qi family will probably sell it."
"When the Qi family found out, their faces would probably be crooked with anger." After saying this, she laughed.
