Chapter 26 Ye Beixiu Insists on Giving Jewelry
Thanks to Ye Beishan's help along the way, he carried the deer all the way and didn't let Ye Beixiu carry it again.
When they arrived at the gate of Jinshui Town, they separated.
Li Yiqun and Ye Suyun hadn't been to town for a long time and had a lot to buy, so they made an appointment to meet at the entrance of Yaoji Cloth Shop in about an hour.
Ye Beixiu took the deer and went straight to Li’s Pharmacy with Zhang Juexia.
Shopkeeper Li looked at the fawn on Ye Beixiu's shoulder with his eyes wide open. He took them directly to the backyard and bought the fawn for a high price of one hundred taels of silver.
Zhang Juexia took the opportunity to ask if there was any news about his senior brother. Manager Li told them that his senior brother had sent someone to tell him that he would return to Shunhe County in about two months, and then they could go directly to Dejitang in Shunhe County to find him.
"Shopkeeper Li, may I know your senior brother's name?"
Shopkeeper Li slapped his forehead in frustration. "My brain is so good that I forget the real thing when I see something nice. My senior brother's name is Liu Mingda. You can find out by asking around in Shunhe County."
Shopkeeper Li arranged for his waiter to collect the herbs that Zhang Juexia had carried back. Since the herbs were not valuable this time, he gave him a total of five hundred coins.
After leaving the pharmacy, Zhang Juexia felt like he was dreaming. However, Ye Beixiu looked calm and asked Zhang Juexia what he wanted to buy.
Zhang Juexia pulled Ye Beixiu towards the grain store and said, "Let's go buy some more grain. After all, we have grain at home, so we don't have to worry."
Ye Beixiu also strongly agreed.
This time, Zhang Juexia refused to believe it and insisted on going to another grain store to have a look.
After comparing them, she felt that the grain shop she went to last time was not a scam and that the prices were fair and the quality was high.
When she and Ye Beixiu entered, the waiter recognized them at a glance and ran over enthusiastically.
"Sir, what would you like to buy?"
"Give me twenty catties of flour, twenty catties of rice, and ten catties of millet."
The young man couldn't stop smiling and quickly ran to weigh the grain.
Ye Beixiu took the food from the waiter and put it in his backpack. He then asked Zhang Juexia, "Do you want to eat anything else?"
Zhang Juexia shook his head. "These are enough."
"That's fine, we'll buy more after we finish eating."
Arriving at the jewelry store, Ye Beixiu wanted to go in and buy some jewelry for Zhang Juexia. "When we got married, I didn't buy you a decent piece of jewelry. Come in and take a look."
"I'm not that interested in that. We have plenty of other uses for our money, so let's spend it sparingly."
"It won't cost much."
Ye Beixiu insisted on going, so Zhang Juexia had to follow him in. After choosing for a while, she chose a small teardrop-shaped silver earring and put it on her ear immediately.
Ye Beixiu wanted to buy something else, but Zhang Juexia forcibly pulled him out, "It's getting late, don't keep my brother and sister-in-law waiting anxiously."
Yaoji Cloth Shop was just ahead. When the two men rushed over, Li Yiqun and Ye Suyun had just arrived.
After Zhang Juexia led them in, Shopkeeper Yao saw that it was Zhang Juexia and greeted her with a smile, "Young lady, nice to meet you again so soon."
"Hello, Manager Yao."
Zhang Juexia greeted Manager Yao with a smile, took out the woven cord she had made from her backpack and handed it to Manager Yao to see.
The more Shopkeeper Yao looked at it, the happier he became. "Young lady, your craftsmanship is excellent. How about fifteen cents per piece?"
Li Yiqun and Ye Suyun, who had been standing behind Zhang Juexia and seemed a little reserved, also took a breath after hearing the price quoted by Manager Yao.
Zhang Juexia bargained with Shopkeeper Yao for a while, and the price didn't go up. However, Shopkeeper Yao agreed that the colored thread for making brocade in the future would be hers. However, she emphasized, "Young lady, you must send the brocade you make to me in the future."
"Young lady, your craftsmanship is truly remarkable. My family is having a wedding in a few days. Manager Yao, please leave me a few of these festive silk threads."
Shopkeeper Yao immediately grinned and said, "This thing caught the eye of your wife Liu, so it must be really good."
Mrs. Liu picked up the lace Zhang Juexia had made, examined it carefully in her hands, and said, "This technique is really good."
She raised her head and looked at Zhang Juexia again, "Where are you from, young lady?"
"My husband's family is from Yejia Village."
Shopkeeper Yao pulled Zhang Juexia over to Madam Liu and said, "Madam Liu is a famous embroiderer in our town. It would be a great honor for you if you could get her guidance."
Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "Don't listen to Manager Yao's nonsense. My craftsmanship is far inferior to that of my sister. What a pity..." After saying this, she went to choose what she needed.
When Zhang Juexia saw Li Yiqun waving at her, she also went to get busy.
Although she was helping Li Yiqun and the others choose colored threads, she could vaguely hear some of the conversation between Mrs. Liu and Manager Yao.
As she listened, her heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this Mrs. Liu was Zhang Qiuye's future mother-in-law.
She deliberately turned her head to glance at Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu saw her gaze and gave her a big smile in return.
She turned her head away awkwardly...
Shopkeeper Yao politely escorted Mrs. Liu out of the shop, and the other women in the shop surrounded her.
"Is Mrs. Liu's third son really getting married? I heard he's marrying a girl from Dahe Village, whose mother was Mrs. Liu's former best friend."
"Then the little girls in Jinshui Town will cry."
"What's so good about Liu Sanle? He's just a nerd. I don't know what these girls like about him."
"He's quite careless. I heard he's getting married soon, but he hasn't returned from the county yet."
"He's studying in the county town, not doing anything else. Mrs. Liu and Liu Hong are both capable, so it's fine if they take care of it."
"That's right, that's right. On the wedding day, just come back and be the groom."
"That girl from Dahe Village is also very lucky, to be able to marry into the Liu family, such a wealthy family..."
Then a woman looked around and lowered her voice deliberately. Zhang Juexia couldn't hear anything even though he wanted to.
Then they chirped again...
"This matter cannot be casually told to anyone. Getting married is such a big deal. Besides, this marriage was arranged by both families a long time ago. How could it be wrong?"
"That girl is now a stepmother, this matter is hard to say..."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Whether this matter is true or false, it has nothing to do with us."
"That's right, the Liu family doesn't know about this yet."
The women dispersed as they talked.
Zhang Juexia raised the corner of his mouth, there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world.
Tian Caihong has the ability to get Zhang Qiuye to marry into the Liu family, but whether Zhang Qiuye has the ability to gain a foothold in the Liu family depends on her ability.
Li Yiqun and Ye Suyun were envious when they saw that Zhang Juexia had sold a lot of money for the woven threads. Considering that it was not easy to come to the town, they could not help but buy some more colored threads.
Shopkeeper Yao readily gave the lowest price, and they didn't even have to bargain.
