Chu Xiuming looked at the easy-to-satisfy little wife, didn't say anything more, took her by the hand to a booth selling leather, and asked, "Is there any white fox fur?"
The owner of the stall is a man who looks dark and strong, and there is a petite woman standing beside him. The woman's facial features are not delicate and her skin is not white enough, but she has an indescribable charm, as if she is in full bloom. The flowers in full bloom are gorgeous and fiery, and when they smile, they have a hearty taste, "Is it for the little lady next to you? There are white fox furs, how many pieces do you want?"
"How many?" Chu Xiuming asked.
"Let's take a look at the goods first." The woman gave the man behind her a look, and the man bent down and pulled out a complete white fox fur from underneath. "It's a fox hunted in winter. The fur is dense and good."
Chu Xiuming also saw that the fox fur in his house was really good, and it was well cleaned. Shen Jin looked at the fluffy fur all over the stall, his eyes lit up, and some wanted to touch it twice but felt embarrassed, and so on After taking out the white fox fur, she couldn't help but pick Chu Xiuming's palm with her fingers. Seeing that Chu Xiuming didn't respond, she picked it a few more times. She had never seen so many leathers.
Prince Rui’s mansion distributes skins every year, but they are all given according to the share. It’s not like Concubine Xu is favored. King Rui always gives Xu a lot more in private. Shen Jin also gets extra from Princess Rui’s side, but After all, Princess Rui still has to give her daughter and two sons, Chu Xiuming looked down at Shen Jin, and Shen Jin said, "Will it be very expensive?"
"No." Chu Xiuming said, "Like these?"
"En." Shen Jin said, "All the skins my mother saved are given to me."
Chu Xiuming responded, "Then buy more and send them to your mother-in-law." In fact, there were a lot of warehouses at home, but they were used up by the besieged city, and now the rest are newly brought back by him. , Because of the war, not all the skins were brought back, only the precious ones were kept.
However, Shen Jin didn't know that there was a warehouse at home, and Chu Xiuming only realized that the key to the warehouse at home hadn't been handed over to Shen Jin. In fact, leather is the most indispensable thing in border towns. On the contrary, fabric is more expensive than leather, and he just I want to get a whole set of white fox fur clothes for Shen Jin, so I need to buy them outside. Since Shen Jin likes fur so much, I can save a lot of fur when I think about it next year when it gets cold, so I can cover the room with thick Shen Jin will definitely like the skin, but Chu Xiuming didn't say, just wait until the weather gets cold and then give her a surprise, "How many white fox furs are there in total?"
"Four." The woman said, "This thing is very cunning and hard to catch."
Chu Xiuming said, "How much?"
"I don't need money, I want tea and salt." The woman has long seen that these two people are unusual. Tea and salt are controlled by the imperial court, and they can only be bought from the government. You can buy private salt or wait for the mutual market to open to exchange.
Chu Xiuming was not surprised, just nodded and said, "How much?"
The woman said a number, Chu Xiuming frowned and said, "It's too high, the weather is getting warmer, so I won't need it this year." It is also harmless, especially white fox fur.
"It can be discussed." The woman said, she looked at Shen Jin with an innocent face, and then at Chu Xiuming, thinking in her heart, it really is that the boy is unreliable, it doesn't mean that Tianqi's man loves face and likes to behave in front of women !
Only then did Chu Xiuming respond, "Take some more and choose."
When the woman heard the words, she asked the man to take out the good leather bags that had been put away. Chu Xiuming looked down at Shen Jin and said, "You choose the one for your mother-in-law."
"Okay." Shen Jin's voice was soft and waxy. She just listened to Chu Xiuming's communication with others with a confused face. After Chu Xiuming didn't know what to say, the woman communicated with Chu Xiuming in words she couldn't understand, but when Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin were talking, they switched back, so she could understand again.
Shen Jin not only chose for his mother, but also for King Rui and Princess Rui, because his mother still stayed in Prince Rui's mansion, and she couldn't do without Princess Rui's care. She didn't expect King Rui to take care of her mother, and it wasn't rare for her mother.
After Shen Jin finished choosing, Chu Xiuming chose some more, then communicated with those two people, and then led Shen Jin away. Shen Jin followed obediently, and said softly, "There are still many places that sell leather. Let's choose slowly." She thought that the deal hadn't been settled, and Chu Xiuming didn't want it.
Chu Xiuming paused and said with a smile, "Don't worry, those leathers belong to you, I'll let them send them directly to the General's Mansion in the border town."
Shen Jin responded, and didn't ask any more questions. Chu Xiuming bought a lot of things one after another, some of which were directly used in silver, and some were sent to the general's mansion like those leathers. Later, Shen Jin was tired. , and sat Shen Jin on his shoulders again. After an experience, Shen Jin sat more comfortingly, and even shook his legs leisurely.
Soon Chu Xiuming bought all the things he wanted to buy, and went to the area where he walked. Not only horses and other things were sold in this area, but also various live small animals. Seeing that Chu Xiu was far away, he lowered his head and pointed to Chu Xiuming, and Chu Xiuming took her there.
And Chu Xiuyuan, who saw Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin, was stunned. He first looked up at his sister-in-law, then at his elder brother, and finally at the two guards behind him. His elder brother was being ridden on the head. Are you on
Chu Xiuming's face was too calm, and Shen Jin's expression was also very natural. Chu Xiuyuan felt that he shouldn't make such a fuss, and when Chu Xiuming hugged Shen Jin down, he took the initiative to say, "Brother, there is a mare with a cub Yes, but the asking price is high and I don’t know what breed the stallion is, so come and see.”
"Okay." Although Chu Xiuming put Shen Jin down, he still didn't let go of his hand. The mare carrying the cub was tied up alone, and her belly was already pregnant. It looked as if she was about to give birth. Shen Jin It was the first time I saw it, but the smell around here was terrible, no wonder Chu Xiuming brought her here last.
There is nothing to be seen from the distance, Chu Xiuming thought for a while before letting go of Shen Jin's hand and said, "Don't you want to buy something small? Let Xiuyuan take you to look elsewhere."
"I'll wait for you here." Shen Jin said very obediently.
Chu Xiuming's heart warmed up when he heard the words, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Chu Xiuyuan say, "Sister-in-law, there are snow rabbits over there. I just saw a litter of them. The little rabbits are not as big as my hand."
Shen Jin's eyes lit up, and she said in a more obedient and sensible manner, "Husband, please be busy, you are easily distracted when I am here, remember to come to me and Xiuyuan when you are done."
Seeing Shen Jin's innocent appearance, Chu Xiuming felt speechless, and paused before saying, "Go."
"Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of my sister-in-law." Chu Xiuyuan promised.
Chu Xiuming waved his hand, and when Shen Jin left with Chu Xiuyuan happily, he kept urging, "Hurry up, what if someone buys it away."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, that food is too much to eat, no one wants it." Chu Xiuyuan said.
Chu Xiuming's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Let's go."
The two remaining guards looked at the general's back sympathetically, and then turned their heads to look at the general's wife who did not miss him. It turned out that in the wife's heart, the general's status was not as high as a nest of rabbits. Go in behind the general.
Because all the things sold here are live animals, there are inevitably some animal feces on the ground. When walking with Chu Xiuming, he always chooses a clean place to walk or directly picks up Shen Jin, but Chu Xiuyuan does not pay attention to these , Shen Jin stepped on something soft on the soles of his feet, and couldn't dare to think about what it was.
However, all these discomforts disappeared when I saw the litter of rabbits that Chu Xiuyuan mentioned. This rabbit is very cute, with shorter ears and a shorter tail than ordinary rabbits, big and round eyes, and a fluffy body. But it is not a solid color, the depth and shade are not the same, as if it is moulting, the abdomen is white, the tips of the ears and eye circles are dark brown, the soles of the feet are light yellow, two slightly larger rabbits are squatting, four or five small ones The rabbit was right beside them, Chu Xiuyuan said, "Don't look at their fur color now, it will turn white in winter, and these little rabbits should be less than twenty days old."
"Little brother knows a lot." The rabbit seller said, "I wanted to sell the skin, but who knew that the rabbit would be killed if it had cubs. My family didn't want to raise it so I just brought it here. The female rabbit is on the road. It was born, the little boy is only eleven days old today."
"How do you know that they are less than twenty days old?" Shen Jin asked curiously.
"Because the cubs are twenty days old, the big rabbits won't be so close to them." Chu Xiuyuan said, "Do you want sister-in-law?"
When the rabbit seller heard Chu Xiuyuan's address, he knew that the girl was married. He thought the two were just playing around without guessing.
"Can I touch them?" Shen Jin looked at the rabbit seller and asked.
"Just don't get hurt by them." The rabbit seller said, I'm afraid no one can bear to reject such a lovely girl, but it's a pity that she married too early, but I think she married into a rich family. Otherwise, there is no way to raise such a cute baby.
Shen Jin nodded, his eyes were wide open, Chu Xiuyuan almost laughed, because the two big rabbits in the cage were also looking at Shen Jin with wide eyes, they seemed to be communicating across the cage, their eyes were round Youliang, Shen Jin stretched out his finger and poked the rabbit along the gap in the cage, then immediately retracted his hand, stared at the rabbit, saw that the rabbit didn't respond, then stuck in and poked again, the rabbit responded this time, the rabbit that was poked She moved slowly, then pointed her short tail at Shen Jin.
"How much?" Shen Jin was full of love, she decided to go back and circle a place alone to plant a lot of grass for the rabbit to eat, and the rabbit could change color!
She remembered that there were two sentences in "Yin Xi's House" written by Wei Zhuang of Qianshu, "The rooster sings in the misty evening rain and the spring, the rabbit jumps in the desert and cold snow." It was this kind of rabbit that was written.
The rabbit seller didn't ask for more, so he said a number, Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan, Chu Xiuyuan nodded and said, "We bought it."
Before Chu Xiuyuan could pay, Shen Jin paid the money, and Chu Xiuyuan didn't fight, but after Shen Jin paid the money, he took the initiative to pick up the rabbits. So many big and small rabbits added up, it's not enough. It's easy, let Shen Jin carry it and be seen by his elder brother, so he can't deal with him when he goes back.
