The seller was a young man with dark skin, speaking a somewhat obscure dialect that Su Wei couldn't understand, but Chen Yan did, and translated for her: "Three cents a string... He said he picked up these stones himself and earned his hard-earned money."
That’s true…
Su Wei was selecting and asked casually, "Are there many stones like this? Where did you pick them up?"
The young man chattered for a long time.
Chen Yan: "I found it on the riverbank near his home."
The young man spoke at length again. Chen Yan said, "There are still many more. Do you want them?"
Su Wei “…”
Something just doesn't feel right.
The young man looked at Chen Yan speechlessly. In fact, he had been praising Su Wei, saying that she looked good in it. If she liked it, he could get more next time and give it to her at a lower price because Su Wei was pretty.
Su Wei nodded: "I'll take this much first."
The young man offered a very reasonable price, twenty cents for so many stones.
After handing the small stone to Chen Yan, Su Wei went to the silk shop to buy some colorful threads.
This silk shop is where the owner died. It is said that he was not a decent person. When Su Wei saw Doctor Qin, she thought it was Doctor Qin who killed people. Now think about it, that may not be the case.
The shop assistant greeted Su Wei. Su Wei picked out some nice-looking threads and casually asked, "Where is your former shopkeeper?"
The waiter glanced at her, then at Chen Yan, probably thinking that Su Wei was having some affair with the former shopkeeper behind Chen Yan's back...
"Isn't the guest a local?"
"No, I came here to buy it once before..." Su Wei said casually.
The clerk nodded: "No wonder...something happened to our shopkeeper not long ago..."
The guy didn't give any details, but Su Wei was very excited: "He...how did he die? Who killed him?"
I'm used to it, but the beauty in front of me is really beautiful...
Shopkeeper Wu eats really well...
"The shopkeeper was murdered, and the government hasn't come to a conclusion yet. We don't know who the murderer is."
Su Wei frowned: "Then was there anyone suspicious that day?"
The waiter thought for a moment and gently reminded Su Wei: "There's a woman..." He paused and said: "You know, our shopkeeper Wu has a good relationship with female guests."
If you ask again, the guy won’t know either.
Su Wei bought the thread and left.
Another guy came over and sighed, "Where did this beauty come from?"
"I don't know. I came to see Shopkeeper Wu."
"Manager Wu is truly...worth dying for."
The two people smiled at each other.
Su Wei was only thinking about his own affairs and didn't notice that Chen Yan's face looked a little ugly.
"The waiter said he saw a female customer. Could it be that the shopkeeper Wu was killed by the female customer? Doctor Qin just happened to be at the scene..."
Su Wei stopped, turned to Chen Yan and said, "Perhaps that female guest is Madam Fang?"
Mrs. Fang has a bad reputation. Perhaps she really had something to do with that shopkeeper Wu. The two had a conflict and he accidentally killed someone. When Su Wei saw Doctor Qin, he was following Mrs. Fang.
This explains it.
Su Wei patted his head: "I should have called Doctor Qin at that time, maybe he wouldn't have..."
Chen Yan also imitated her and patted her head: "It's not your fault."
Su Wei frowned: "You messed up my hair."
Chen Yan chuckled: "I'll help you comb your hair later."
Su Wei: "Then let's go buy a comb..."
There are many types of combs in ancient times, and they are beautiful in shape. Some are made of wood, some are made of jade, and some are made of ox horns. Each one is very simple and exquisite...
Su Wei was dazzled by the sight. The vendor was also good at business and suggested that if he liked them, he could buy them all. Su Wei ignored him and chose a cow horn comb.
After the two returned home, Su Wei laid out her things and wanted to make a bracelet.
In his previous life, Su Wei did nothing but poke lambs and weave bracelets.
Chen Yan became the tool man holding the rope as a support.
The yarn bought from the silk shop was very good, thick and thin, and in many colors. Su Weiyi knitted three in the afternoon. They were all very beautiful. The red one was given to Aunt Lan, the green one to Su Zhuo, and the black one to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan liked it very much and wore the bracelet and looked at it for a long time.
Su Wei braided another blue and yellow one for herself...
The two people were busy for a few days, and after making dozens of chains, they went out to set up a stall. The bracelets were very beautiful, and many people came to look at them at first. However, when they heard that one chain cost twenty cents, they were still discouraged, and not many people came to buy.
In a blink of an eye, it was Aunt Lan's day off. Early in the morning, Chen Yan drove a ox cart to pick her up. Aunt Lan said a few words to this serious son-in-law, and then she didn't know what to say.
She only breathed a sigh of relief when she arrived at the yard and saw Su Wei.
"Mom, come and eat." Su Wei called Aunt Lan. It was also the first time Aunt Lan had eaten the food Su Wei cooked. She was a little moved and couldn't help but tear up. "If your father knew you were like this, he would definitely be very happy."
Su Wei was afraid that she would cry, so he hurried to comfort her: "Mom, we will definitely find Dad."
Aunt Lan nodded.
After dinner, Su Wei gave the bracelet he made to Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan was very happy and put it on her hand immediately, looking at it from left to right.
"That's great. Have you taken it out to sell?"
Su Wei nodded: "I sold it, but it didn't sell well."
When Aunt Lan left, she took a few and went back to the dealer.
She is good-looking and has fair skin. When she cooks, she rolls up her sleeves, and the red chain looks very beautiful on her fair wrist.
"Auntie Lan, your chain is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
The little maid who came to get the food asked.
Aunt Lan said, "My daughter gave it to me."
The maid took a look at it for a while and said: "The chain is really well woven, I have never seen anything like it. And this stone is also very interesting..."
Aunt Lan said, "My daughter said that this stone has absorbed the essence of the heaven, earth, sun, and moon. After being polished by time, each one is unique, just like each of us..."
The little maid nodded, a little moved, opened her mouth, and finally couldn't help asking: "Where did she buy it?"
"She made them herself and sold them. She gave me a few..."
"Can you sell me one?"
Aunt Lan hesitated for a moment: "Okay..."
Aunt Lan took out a few and the maid picked out a pink one. Not long after she put it on, someone came to ask about it again.
The Zhuang family treated their servants well and paid them a lot of money, so the maids had no shortage of money. Soon, all the necklaces that Aunt Lan was wearing were sold out.
Madam Zhuang also noticed it quickly. The stones on it weren't worth much, but the chain was intricately woven. Madam Zhuang wasn't so picky as to be interested in a maid's things, but she thought the one Aunt Lan was wearing was really beautiful. If the red stones were replaced with red jade gemstones...
Mrs. Zhuang couldn't help but ask a question, and after getting Aunt Lan's answer, Mrs. Zhuang felt that Aunt Lan's daughter was also a clever and interesting person.
Su Wei didn't expect that Mrs. Zhuang would meet her.
Aunt Lan talked about the bracelet.
Su Wei understood.
