Chapter 320 Buying a Handkerchief

"Uncle, what happened? I just heard a loud noise in here." Deng Siyuan, who was hiding in the dark, saw his cousin and the others leave.

Just walked in.

His father was beheaded in August, and his mother was taken back by her maternal family and remarried.

The house was also taken away by the government.

He could only live in his uncle's house.

Fortunately, his uncle was nice to him.

After being kicked out of the school, he stayed in the house and didn't go anywhere.

After being bored for more than a month, he strolled to the front yard in the evening, wanting to discuss finding a new school for him with his uncle, when he happened to hear a noise.

"Siyuan, you're here. Nothing happened. Your brother-in-law is back. You should go back to bed early."

Deng Jinian's attitude towards Deng Siyuan is okay.

Better than before.

But it is limited to this.

He had vowed to treat his nephew well.

I have put this matter behind me long ago.

It’s only been over a month.

"Uncle, I, I want to ask you a favor." Deng Siyuan did not leave. He stood in front of Deng Jinian, lowered his head slightly, and said with a pitiful expression: "Can you find a new school for me? I thought about it and decided to study hard and take the path of imperial examinations in the future."

As soon as these words came out.

Deng Jinian almost laughed out loud.

"Silly child, your father was beheaded by the government. You will never be able to take the imperial examination in your life, do you understand? It's because the laws of the current dynasty are not strict, otherwise even your cousin's son would not be able to take the imperial examination in the future. It's a blessing in disguise. Okay, okay, I'm sleepy, go back to the room, I want to rest."

Deng Jinian waved his hand and walked away.

Deng Siyuan was stunned for a long time.

Wait until all the candles in the main room are out.

He walked stiffly to his own yard.

He could no longer pursue the imperial examination, and his uncle also forbade him to get involved in the family's business.

What else can he do?

His future seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, and he couldn't see it clearly.

It's late at night.

In a shabby house on Wanlu Street.

Zhou Yuanyuan, who was squeezed into the same bed with her mother, couldn't fall asleep.

"Mom, are you asleep? I'm a little scared." Thinking of Ma Wuxing's attitude towards her on the way back, she felt uneasy.

"Don't think about it. You are pregnant with his eldest son. He will only be angry for a while. How can he really be angry with you? This is indeed your fault. He is away on an expedition. How can you pester him every day? Isn't this nonsense?"

The room was too dark to see anything.

So when Chen talked to her daughter, her eyes were closed.

After she finished speaking, she realized that her tone was a little harsh, so she turned around and gently patted Zhou Yuanyuan's shoulder.

Coaxed a few words.

Only then did the mother and daughter fall asleep peacefully.

Daybreak soon arrived.

The Jiang family's ox cart was already halfway along the road.

There is one more person on the ox cart today.

It’s money and joy.

Her pregnancy was stable, but Zhang Jinlan was still worried and planned to take her to the town to see a doctor.

After arriving at the shop, Zhang Jinlan took her granddaughter-in-law straight to the clinic. They left early and came back early too.

The shop is open for business.

Jiang Fubao played with his sister-in-law.

All the persimmons on the tree have been eaten, and there are no grapes left.

The scenery is not as good as in summer.

But the temperature is just right and there are no mosquitoes, which is enough to beat the summer.

Jiang Fubao likes spring and autumn the most.

After lunch at noon, she slept for half an hour. When she got up, she felt a little bored.

Just as she remembered that grandma's birthday was the day after tomorrow, her big eyes rolled around.

"Grandma, I want to go out for a walk with my sister-in-law, is that okay? My sister-in-law is so bored at home, you can't let her get depressed, it's not easy for my sister-in-law to come to town."

Jiang Fubao used money and joy as an excuse.

It is really useful.

I was led to the street by my sister-in-law.

She looked up and smiled: "Sister-in-law, can we go to Shibu Street?"

"What are you going there for? Our Fubao wants to buy some beautiful clothes?" Qian Xile looked at her in confusion.

"No, you'll know when you get there." Jiang Fubao remembered the way, so she took the lead and walked towards Decorative Cloth Street, holding her sister-in-law's hand.

Come to Embroidery Lane.

Her eyes roamed around the surrounding stalls.

Qian Xile didn't know what she was looking for.

Although there were not many people here, he was worried that Jiang Fubao might get lost, so he held her hand tightly.

"Found it!" Jiang Fubao's eyes lit up and she walked to the left.

She remembered very clearly the stall owner with a round face that looked like a Buddha statue.

When she first came to the town, her grandmother took her shopping and they met each other.

The handkerchiefs sold by this lady are particularly beautiful, with the flowers and butterflies embroidered on them lifelike.

But it’s very expensive.

At first, my family couldn't even afford meat.

How could grandma buy it?

However, she had promised her grandmother that when she had money in the future, she would buy her seven pairs of shoes so that she could use them every day.

He touched the money in his pocket.

Jiang Fubao walked over confidently.

Although this amount of money is not enough to buy seven pairs, it is definitely enough for two pairs.

"Auntie, I'm here to buy a handkerchief for grandma~"

Jiang Fubao's soft voice reached the ears of stall owner Yang Suqi.

She bowed her head.

I saw a chubby, very cute little girl.

Yang Suqi has a deep memory of Jiang Fubao because he was good-looking and well-raised.

It only took me three seconds to think about it and I remembered her.

"It's you, little girl. Long time no see. Are you here again? Where's your grandma?"

Yang Suqi has been setting up a stall all year round and is particularly knowledgeable about goods.

You can tell at a glance what material the clothes Jiang Fubao is wearing are made of.

Just a few months.

Huge changes.

Could it be that this little girl's family is wealthy?

She thought to herself.

"Yes, I'm buying a birthday present for grandma. Auntie, can I see the handkerchief?" Jiang Fubao smiled sweetly.

She didn't expect that the stall owner still remembered her.

"Look, look at whatever you want." Seeing Qian Xile looked pregnant, Yang Suqi took the initiative to pick up Jiang Fubao.

After all, the stall is too high.

With Jiang Fubao's height, he couldn't even see clearly even if he stood on tiptoe.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. But I still want the handkerchief I saw last time. Auntie, is that handkerchief still there? There are butterflies and many flowers embroidered on it." Jiang Fubao asked happily, hugging Yang Suqi's neck.

"What a coincidence! It's still there, but the price has been reduced. It only costs half an ounce of silver now."

Yang Suqi hugged Jiang Fubao with one hand and pulled out a handkerchief with her left hand.

Give it to her.

Jiang Fubao took it and took a look.

It really was the handkerchief embroidered with butterflies and flowers.

Very beautiful.

It uses seven-color embroidery thread and feels soft and smooth to the touch. I heard from the stall owner before that this is smoke-cloud silk woven with white silk.

It must be very comfortable to use it to wipe your mouth and hands.

There was a white scarf hanging around grandma's waist.

I bought it three months ago and it has turned yellow, but my grandma is reluctant to replace it.

"Auntie, I want this one. I also want to buy another one for grandma to use in rotation." Jiang Fubao took out a tael of silver from her pocket. This was all her belongings.

Plus the birthday gift and what I saved before.

Just one or two.

I even specially exchanged it for a whole silver coin from my mother.
