"So that's how it is."
After talking for a while, Mrs. Tang handed the silver to Jiang Cheng.
Thirty-six handkerchiefs earned him nine hundred coins, and He Xiaomi's wood carvings totaled thirty, each worth thirty coins, also for a total of nine hundred coins.
Mrs. Tang originally wanted to invite Jiang Cheng to dinner, but Jiang Cheng declined because he thought Song Tingzhi was still waiting for him.
Mrs. Tang didn't force him and sent him out.
On the other side, after Qi Yu and Song Tingzhi talked for a while, Song Tingzhi saw that the time was almost up and planned to get up and leave.
Qi Yu wanted him to stay a little longer, but Song Tingzhi said that her husband was still waiting for him. Qi Yu didn't want to stay any longer after hearing that.
As he stood up to see him off and walked through the noisy crowd, Song Tingzhi suddenly heard someone say the name "He Pingshan". When he turned around to look, the name had disappeared.
Maybe I heard it wrong.
Song Tingzhi drove a donkey cart to Mingyue Lane and received some strange looks when asking for directions. When he arrived at the entrance of Mingyue Lane, Song Tingzhi looked at the red and green colors inside and did not go in. He waited for Jiang Cheng to come out at the door.
He had more or less heard of the reputation of Mingyue Lane. He heard that it was a relatively elegant place where people sold their skills but not their bodies. If anyone did something indecent, they would be dragged out. It was safe for boys and girls.
Song Tingzhi didn't go in simply because he was afraid of being pestered. After all, there would be physical contact when soliciting customers.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Cheng came out with a smile on his face.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Jiang Cheng looked at Song Tingzhi.
"No. Why are you so happy?" Song Tingzhi asked, seeing that the smile on Jiang Cheng's face had never faded.
"Hehe, I won't tell you." Jiang Cheng said arrogantly.
"Okay~ If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I have something for you."
"Shouldn't you continue asking? You are such a..." boring.
Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he heard the second half.
"What is that?" Jiang Cheng looked over in confusion.
Song Tingzhi took out a small object from his arms. Jiang Cheng pulled his hand to see that it was a hairpin.
"Spending money recklessly again!" Jiang Cheng glared at him and took it over to have a look without any hesitation.
It was a jade hairpin, aqua green in color, with bamboo leaves carved on it.
"Do you like it?" Song Tingzhi looked at Jiang Cheng's profile.
"Guess?" Jiang Cheng did not give Song Tingzhi the answer he wanted, but his actions had already revealed his good mood.
"As long as you like it!" Song Tingzhi looked at Jiang Cheng's expression and knew that it touched his heart.
"Hmph!" Jiang Cheng didn't say anything. He kept walking towards the donkey cart regardless of Song Tingzhi. However, Song Tingzhi was half a head taller than Jiang Cheng and had longer legs, so he quickly caught up with Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng got in the car and directed Song Tingzhi to buy cloth and silk thread, and also to buy some vegetable seeds.
Then I went back to the village.
As soon as he arrived in the village, Jiang Cheng left Song Tingzhi and went to find He Xiaomi first.
"Xiaomi!" Jiang Cheng pushed open the door of the He family courtyard and walked in.
"Jiang Cheng! You're back so soon!" He Xiaomi was carving something in her room when she heard Jiang Cheng's voice coming from the door.
"Yes! Count them! A total of nine hundred coins." Jiang Cheng took out some copper coins and silver and placed them on the table.
"So much?" He Xiaomi looked at the silver and money on the table in disbelief.
I asked someone to sell it before, and the maximum I got was one or two hundred coins.
"Yes, if you carve well, you can sell it naturally." Jiang Cheng said.
"Thank you so much, Jiang Cheng. This will help me survive for a few more days!" He Xiaomi was very excited and decided to carve more so that she could continue to make money.
"Xiaomi, have you ever considered carving some complicated designs? That way, not only will more people buy it, but the price will also go up."
Jiang Cheng thought about it and told He Xiaomi about his idea.
"But apart from these little animals, I haven't learned any complicated styles." He Xiaomi was a little worried.
He learned his craft from He's father, who used to be a carpenter in the village and could carve some things. When He Xiaomi was young and had not yet become addicted to gambling, his father taught He Xiaomi a lot, but it was only the basics.
"Look!" Jiang Cheng pulled out a booklet from his pocket. "I found this. There are some complicated patterns in it. You can learn from them."
It was Madam Tang who told Jiang Cheng his idea, and it was Madam Tang who gave him the booklet.
"I really thank you so much!" He Xiaomi wanted to hug Jiang Cheng excitedly.
"But don't keep carving complicated things. Try doing some simple ones as well." Jiang Cheng was afraid that He Xiaomi would keep studying the patterns in the booklet, so he reminded her worriedly.
"I know!" He Xiaomi looked at the small booklet in her hand happily, her heart already flying into the house.
Jiang Cheng looked at He Xiaomi and had no idea how much he had heard. Seeing that he looked absent-minded, he said something to him and got up to go back.
…
Seeing Jiang Cheng going to He's house without looking back, Song Tingzhi felt jealous of He Xiaomi.
We've only known each other for a few days, and we're already so close!
Song Tingzhi thought so without stopping what he was doing. He put everything away and filled the donkey shed with water and food before going into the house.
After closing the door, Song Tingzhi took out the things Qi Yu gave him. He turned a page and saw the contents inside. His face turned red instantly and he slammed the book shut.
Song Tingzhi thought for a while, then opened it and took a closer look, feeling hot all over.
It was not until he heard the sound of Jiang Cheng and Xu Sanniang chatting outside the door that Song Tingzhi raised his head in a daze.
As Jiang Cheng's voice got closer, Song Tingzhi hurriedly found a place that Jiang Cheng usually didn't touch and hid the thing there.
When Song Tingzhi finished hiding and pretended to be busy, Jiang Cheng pushed the door and walked in.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Cheng looked at Song Tingzhi's unnatural expression and red ears, and expressed his doubts.
"It's okay, it's too hot."
Song Tingzhi fanned himself awkwardly with his hands.
"Oh!" Jiang Cheng had no doubts. After all, Song Tingzhi had a hot temper. Every night when they slept together, Jiang Cheng felt like he was in a furnace.
"I earned nine hundred coins today!" Jiang Cheng took out the piggy bank and put all the money he earned today into it. After thinking for a while, he took out another five hundred coins.
She put it into the purse she had embroidered and handed it to Song Tingzhi.
"These are for your daily expenses. Tell me if you have nothing left."
Jiang Cheng controls the family's finances, but still gives Song Tingzhi some pocket money.
"Yeah." Song Tingzhi nodded.
Jiang Cheng glanced at Song Tingzhi and felt that he was weird today, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
It was not until the evening, when Jiang Cheng realized something was wrong, seeing Song Tingzhi's energetic appearance and the new posture that Song Tingzhi had learned from somewhere.
But it was too late. Jiang Cheng felt like he was about to fall apart, but Song Tingzhi still didn't stop.
In the end, Jiang Cheng fainted, and he didn't know when Song Tingzhi ended.
Only the sore waist and unspeakable parts of his body the next day reminded Jiang Cheng of his madness last night.
