Chapter 32 The question of how to spend money
Although Lian Man'er was the first time to collect money, Zhang followed him this time. In the opinion of Manager Wang, Lian Man'er and others are still children after all, and the money should be collected by adults.
"Just give me the money." Lian Man'er was not polite.
"This money is pocket money that the children earn themselves." Zhang also smiled.
Manager Wang handed the money to Lian Man'er. According to the last example, the four-dragon money was exchanged for four taels of silver, and the other three strings of money were 250 cents. Lian Man'er took the money and kept it carefully. When he looked up, he saw Wang Youheng smiling at her.
She seemed too urgent when she asked for money just now? No, she controlled her emotions well. Well, maybe no matter what, it would be strange to outsiders to take so much money by her, a little girl who has not yet left her head. Lian Man'er can't control so much. She is useful and has never planned to hand it over to others.
This time it was four taels of silver, plus the last two taels, which was six taels. I could already buy a mu of good land, and those with a little worse could even buy two mu. Lian Man'er read "Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life, and Liu Laolao lived on two mu of land. Many people never had their own land in their lives, and could only make a living by relying on tenant planting other people's land. After accumulating a lot, she must live a rich landlord life.
"Brother Youheng, do you have time?" Lian Man'er asked Wang Youheng.
"What's wrong with Man'er?"
"Brother Youheng, we want to treat you to dinner." Lian Man'er said. She could make this money thanks to Wang Youheng. She didn't want to move the six taels of silver, but this time the 250 cents, plus the remaining 200 cents (the other 93 cents were spent in the town that day, and the remaining 11 cents were spent in pieces these days, so there were only 200 cents left), which was 450 cents. She planned to use this money to invite Wang Youheng to dinner.
"What are Man'er going to treat me?" Wang Youheng didn't expect Lian Man'er to treat him to dinner, so he immediately asked.
"Well, I plan to invite Brother Youheng to eat at two cover shops. I know Brother Youheng usually eats better than that, but this is our wish. If someone else had changed, I would definitely not dare to, and I would not invite him. Because it was Brother Youheng, I dared to invite him." Lian Man'er said.
Last time in the town, they spent 37 cents and ate a full meal at the Chenji bun shop with a guise for 450 cents. Although they couldn't enter a big restaurant, they could also go to a small shop with two guise for a decent meal.
Of course, this specification is a bit low for Wang Youheng. However, Wang Youheng never treats them very much and is as kind as a big brother, so Lian Man'er made such a proposal.
Wang Youheng smiled, his two slender eyes were bright.
The children looked at Wang Youheng nervously, afraid that he would not agree.
"Okay, I'll go." Wang Youheng said.
Lian Man'er breathed a sigh of relief. Ya Yanqing
"What is the identity of the Imperial Doctor Wang? They don't know the importance of their children's family. Don't be surprised." Zhang hurriedly stood up and said.
"Aunt Four, you said this to be a stranger. It is better for Man'er to treat me to a bowl of noodles than to treat me to a bowl of noodles," said Wang Youheng.
Zhang was a little moved, so he stopped talking, let alone the children were happy.
Everyone stood up and walked out, and while talking about which small shop to eat, they saw a young man hurried in.
"Young master, Murakami's uncle Huai is here." The young man said to Wang Youheng.
As he was talking, Manager Wang had already walked in with a tall boy. The boy was tall, fair-faced, and a tall nose. He looked a little similar to Wang Youheng's appearance, but his lips were more plump, and his eyes always looked at him with a smile.
"Youheng," the young man greeted Wang Youheng. His eyes turned and saw Zhang, Lian Man'er and his son standing with Wang Youheng, "This is..."
"Big Young Master!" Zhang hurriedly saluted the young man.
Lian Man'er knew this person. He was the eldest son of Wang Juren, the son of Sanshiliying. His name was Wang Youhuai. He was a cousin and cousin. Because Wang Youheng's mother and Wang Youhuai's mother were sisters of the relatives, they married two cousins of the Wang family. Wang Youhuai was two years older than Wang Youheng, and he was seventeen years old this year. He also got the fame of a scholar.
"I have something to discuss with you." Wang Youhuai nodded to Zhang and was about to pull Wang Youheng into the house.
"Brother Seven, what's wrong? I have a guest." Wang Youheng didn't move.
Wang Youhuai looked at Wang Youheng strangely, then turned his head and looked at Lian Man'er several times.
"Oh..." Wang Youhuai pulled out his voice and laughed, then lowered his voice and said something in Wang Youheng's ear.
Wang Youheng's brows frowned slightly.
"Please come in and sit down, I'll come later." Wang Youheng asked the shopkeeper Wang to lead Wang Youhuai into the house first. The brothers of the same ancestor of the Wang family are ranked, Wang Youhuai is sixth, and Wang Youheng is seventh.
Wang Youheng turned around again and said apologetically to Lian Man'er, "There are some things at home, I'm afraid I can't go with you."
Lian Man'er just saw Wang Youheng's face change, and he guessed in his heart what might be a big deal. Besides, Wang Youhuai came to find him, so he couldn't leave Wang Youhuai behind and went to dinner with them.
"Brother Youheng, go and do your business. Write down this meal first, let's ask for it next time." Lian Man'er said.
"Okay, I'm afraid that this shop will not be there after passing this village. I will definitely remember it." Wang Youheng said with a smile.
Everyone started to laugh.
…………
After leaving Jishengtang of the Wang family, my mother and mother discussed that they even brought so many farm tools to repair, which took at least half a day. They were not in a hurry to go there. Since they had time, they should just go shopping in the town.
Even Man'er still looked at every store, and she asked about the price of almost everything.
"Mom, do we want to buy some things?" Lian Man'er asked Zhang, and then asked Lian Zhi'er a few more, "Sister, brother, Xiaoqi, what do you want?"
"Second sister, I still want to eat meat buns." Xiao Qi answered the fastest.
"You will definitely let the buns eat. Let's see if you want anything else?" Lian Man'er smiled.
Xiaoqi couldn't answer. He had been living in a materially poor environment and was not used to spending money. Apart from limited food, he couldn't think of anything to ask for.
"Look slowly, tell me what I think of." Lian Man'er said. Although she said this, she knew that Xiaoqi was very sensible and would never ask for expensive things.
The mother and son walked slowly and saw a lot of people surrounding the shop in front of the shop. When they stepped forward, they found that it was a silk shop. They took out the remaining pieces of cloth they usually sold for sale at a low price. Although it was a cloth head, they were all good cloth. It was suitable to make a veil and cut an upper.
"Just about to buy your breasts for your breasts." Zhang walked over and picked them up.
"Should we add two pairs of socks?" Lian Man'er suddenly remembered and discussed with Lian Zhier, "Sister, we should buy some fine cloth and make two small clothes."
"Man'er, cloth is a bit expensive." Lian Zhi'er said.
In Jinyang County, there are very few cotton and thread-woven fabrics, and no one raises silkworms. All the cloths are bought from the south, so the price is more expensive than other things.
"You have to buy it even if it is expensive, otherwise what we can wear." Lian Man'er said, and he squeezed into the crowd and picked it up with Lian Zhier.
Lian Man'er was choosing and planning in his mind. First, it was white cotton and muslin. You should buy more of this. Add at least a set of clothes for everyone in the family and two pairs of socks. Zhang and Lian Zhier were able to cut, needle and embroidery, and just go back to the fabric and sew it at home. After calculating, buy twelve feet first.
Oh, these silks, satin and silk are so beautiful. Lian Man'er picked up two pieces of satin and looked at it. It was the size of it that could be made into a veil.
"Sister, let's pick a few good veils." Lian Man'er said to Lian Zhi'er.
Lian Man'er picked a piece of bean-green and a piece of goose yellow yarn silk, and then a piece of silver-red plain satin. Lian Er picked a piece of big red yarn silk and a piece of royal blue plain satin. Lian Man'er thought about it and picked another piece of moon-white Lu silk, a piece of indigo lu silk, and two light green Lu silk.
"It's a bit too much, Man'er." Lian Zhi'er laughed. She was used to being frugal, but when she saw these colorful materials, she couldn't help but like it. "But it will definitely look good when you make a veil. I can lock the edges and embroider it."
"We'll buy some color lines later," said Lian Man'er. At present, she is in the stage of saving money, and these are not essentials, but there is no way. She is also a woman and cannot resist these temptations. She has been very patient without attacking those whole rulers, and those rulers are more beautiful.
At this time, Zhang also picked out the cloth head. She picked two large pieces of stone blue satin and two pieces of silver red satin.
"Mom, what are you choosing these for?" Lian Man'er asked.
"These two stone green pieces, make two pairs of uppers for your breasts, these two silver red pieces, and smaller pieces, and also make a pair of shoes for your aunt. The larger pieces should be able to make a bellyband. Your aunt loves these bright colors." Zhang said, "Man'er, have you also picked such cloth heads?"
Lian Man'er rolled her eyes and handed the few pieces of materials Zhang had just picked to the shopkeeper, asking the shopkeeper how much it cost.
"You really have a good idea. The two pieces of stone green are carved silk, and the ones with dark patterns are the most expensive materials in our store. The cloth head is much cheaper. These two pieces are only 60 cents, and the two pieces of silver red are forty cents, which is a total of 100 cents." The shopkeeper said.
"Mom, how much money do you have?" Lian Man'er asked Zhang.
Zhang took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it, and it was a small piece of silver.
"This is almost a money. Last time I became a hairpin, I bought medicine for you and your milk, and that's all that left." Zhang said.
"Mom, how much did you make your hairpin cost? Where did I use my medicine so much? Doctor Wang didn't even need the medical fee." Lian Man'er said.
"You have more than one or two silver coins for your hairpin. Your medicine costs more than one yuan. What kind of Yangrong Pills you want? It says that someone ginseng is a bit expensive." Zhang said.
When Lian Man'er heard Zhang as a hairpin to buy medicine for her and Zhou, she ignored it. This was the first time today when she heard how the money was spent, she immediately laughed angry.
"Yangrong Wan, I have never heard of it in my life." Lian Man'er said angrily.
"Your grandfather used to be a shopkeeper in the county town, but your mother has enjoyed a blessing for several years. I have never eaten anything and I have seen it." Zhang said.
Zhang got the point wrong. Lian Man'er felt a little painful. Zhou was not sick at all that time, but she was just a trick. She refused to pay for Lian Man'er to buy medicine. She heard that Zhang wanted to be a hairpin, so she said she wanted to take ginseng Yangrong Pills. This was to bully Zhang and Lian Shuxin, honest and filial.
Lian Man'er took the small piece of silver from Zhang's hand and held it tightly in her hand. Zhang's hand was too weak and filial, so she would confiscate the money.
"Man'er, what are you doing?" Zhang was shocked.
