In mid-August, the weather is already very cold, especially in the morning and evening.
Chi Xingyue took the scarves and gloves she had knitted during this period to the county to sell. She didn't even need to shout. She just stood on the street and set up her stall, and people came to ask about her products.
"What is this?"
Chi Xingyue demonstrated to everyone the uses of scarves and gloves.
She even took out a black scarf for them to feel: "Don't touch those with light colors. If you touch them, you have to buy them."
This statement may sound quite unreasonable in later generations, but it was not the case in the Yong Dynasty.
Because many people's hands have become rough and dark due to years of hard work, they will get snagged or leave black marks when touching light-colored fabrics.
Take the initiative to remind people to avoid losses on both sides and no one should have any grudges.
She touched the black scarf excitedly, took it from Chi Xingyue, and wrapped it around her neck.
In just a moment, I felt the warmth. I couldn't help but ask in surprise, "How much is this scarf?"
Chi Xingyue raised two fingers: "Two taels of silver."
"Fuck, it's so expensive?"
Chi Xingyue smiled and didn't respond.
To be honest, she also thinks it is expensive, after all, the cost is not high.
But wool is not easy to collect. It took so long and she only collected this little. If she sells it too cheaply, it would be a waste of her time.
The little girl put down her scarf shyly and left.
Others gathered around the stall and whispered to each other, but no one paid for anything.
Chi Xingyue was not in a hurry and sat in a chair drinking tea.
After waiting for a while, the ladies from the Bai and Liu mansions, as well as several other mansions, came over.
I didn't really choose and just bought almost everything on Chi Xingyue's stall.
Chi Xingyue asked if they wanted sweaters, but Miss Bai smiled and said, "Of course, your clothes are so beautiful, we're just afraid we can't buy them.
Okay, let's go back first. I'll send the sweater straight to your house after it's knitted, so you don't have to come over and fight with the sisters for it!"
Chi Xingyue nodded "yes" and prepared to close the stall.
As a result, Mrs. Huang brought Huang Yingying and several concubines to support the business.
Although he was not too warm towards Chi Xingyue, he nodded towards Ling Jiheng with gratitude.
Huang Yingying thanked Chi Xingyue uncomfortably, "Well, I heard from them that you have some nice clothes at home. Next time, could you send some to the county government office?"
Don't worry, I'll pay you!"
Chi Xingyue chuckled: "Sure, if Miss Huang is willing, you can also go to Qingshan Village to buy it."
Huang Yingying's eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly went out.
Although nothing serious happened the last time she was kidnapped, it left a huge psychological shadow on her.
Be careful in what you say and do, and don't go out often.
His original arrogance and domineering attitude began to subside, and his personality became even more likable.
Of course, I also feel a little sad.
Madam Huang sighed slightly, pulled Yun Miao over, and asked her, "Is there anyone Madam Yun who likes you?"
Yun Miao smiled gently, her eyes lingering on the stall for a moment, and finally she chose a white one with yellow and green floral patterns, which looked pure and lively.
Mrs. Huang nodded: "It looks good!"
Let the maid pay the silver.
Most of the Huang family's money had been recovered. Life wasn't so difficult now, and they could still afford a scarf.
But it couldn't be compared with before, so County Magistrate Huang took a small half of it to appease the families of the yamen runners.
During this period, a new group of people were recruited.
Chi Xingyue accidentally heard that being a yamen runner in the county government was originally considered a lucrative job and one could not get in without some connections.
But so many people died last time, and everyone knows it is dangerous, so those who have a little bit of ability are unwilling to go.
Most of those who were willing to go were ugly and unfit, and County Magistrate Huang looked down upon them.
In the end, he spent a lot of money and hired some people from the martial arts school with high salaries to barely fill the vacancy.
Chi Xingyue smiled and raised an eyebrow at Ling Jiheng, implying, "See? This is Yun Miao. She's changed a lot compared to her previous appearance!"
Ling Jiheng smiled, but did not turn his face to the women of the Huang family.
He turned around and got into the car to avoid suspicion.
Yun Miao seemed to have sensed something and stared at the ox cart for a long time.
I always felt that the man just now looked familiar, but I couldn't tell where I had seen him.
When she heard Mrs. Huang calling her, she smiled softly and left.
Only after they left did people start talking in low voices.
"That one just now must be the county magistrate's new concubine, she looks about the same age as Miss Huang."
"After all, he's the county magistrate, he can marry anyone he wants, age doesn't matter!
However, I heard that Madam Huang treated Concubine Yun with special favor because she saved the county magistrate."
"No wonder, they get along so well and aren't afraid of each other sharing their affection."
"You don't understand this, don't you? As long as a big family doesn't favor concubines over wives, the wives of the head of the family would be eager to get their husbands ten or eight concubines.
How great would it be to have both money and free time?
You don't rely on men for food, so you don't have to have that old cucumber!"
Chi Xingyue looked at the young man in surprise and thought, okay, he sees things so clearly, he must be a talented person.
Seeing that it was getting late, he packed up his stall and went home.
I made about two hundred taels of silver in this trip, which was a good return on my investment.
I passed by a pastry shop along the way and bought thirty-six bags of pastries to take home.
Chi Xingyue was surprised to find that the price of pastries had increased again this year.
But it didn't matter, she could afford it. She bought everything with a generous hand and left in the envious eyes of others.
Then the remuneration is calculated according to the workload of the village aunts, young girls and young wives.
Once we arrive at Qingshan Village, we will be paid directly.
Sixth Auntie smiled so hard that her teeth showed, praising the Ling family for being so generous. In addition to the silver, they also gave cakes. They were much more generous than those landlords.
Chi Xingyue said a few polite words and asked everyone to go back and rest early.
I've been busy for more than ten days, so I'll take half a day off to rest and recuperate.
The young wives' eyes immediately turned red, and the older girls also expressed their gratitude.
I decided to go to the county in the afternoon and buy some hair fabrics for the festival.
That’s right, it’s Mid-Autumn Festival again, and Chi Xingyue has handed over the task of making mooncakes to Baozhu.
The young girl's skills have been honed to perfection, and Chi Xingyue feels that she is old enough to open a shop.
But Baozhu didn't have that ambition, and Chi Xingyue didn't force her.
Life is easy, no matter what. There's nothing wrong with a little comfort.
As long as everything is safe and sound.
Ling Jiren and Ling Jihao, who were far away in the northern Liao territory, missed home very much.
After not seeing each other for a few months, the fair-skinned young man had turned into a rough-faced burly man. The brothers' faces showed varying degrees of vicissitudes of life.
Ling Jihao asked Ling Jiren, "Brother, what do you think my second brother and his family are eating for Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Ling Jiren loosened the gauze wrapped around his waist: "Meat, what else can it be. Are you greedy?"
I was definitely greedy, but the most important thing was that I had never been away from my parents since I was little. I missed them so much after being away for three months.
"Brother, do you miss your sister-in-law, Mingyue, Minghao, and Weiwei?"
Ling Jiren paused, then sneered and patted Ling Jihao on the back of the head: "If you're wasting your time, you might as well think about how to protect yourself."
