MTL - Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 19 Selling Beans (4)

Hu's face was touched and his face suddenly turned blue and white. It was so wonderful.

"A box of rouge costs one or two silver dollars? Isn't this too expensive?"

Ms. Zhao was dumbfounded. She had always thought that the rouge used by those ladies and ladies only cost ten or twenty cents. She never expected it to be so expensive.

“Auntie, I’ve never bought rouge at a rouge shop in town, right? I’m afraid I don’t know the price there.”

The reason why Gu Panxia knew this was that the original owner had gone to the town with her father Gu Dahai to sell prey. Later, Gu Dahai bought a box of better rouge for Zhou. He bought it from the rouge shop in the town, which was rougher. The high-end ones cost several hundred cents, the medium ones cost one tael, and the better ones cost at least two or three taels of silver.

 “It sounds like you have bought it.”

Yang Xiaocui curled her lips. She couldn't stand the way Gu Panxia looked now. She always felt that everything was under her control. She even spoke like an adult, not at all like someone her own age.

Gu Panxia smiled and said nothing, but looked into the distance and fell into deep thought again.

Mrs. Hu looked at her thoughtfully, with a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes. She didn't dare to compare Gu Panxia, ​​who spoke generously and methodically, with the original Gu Panxia, ​​who was submissive and didn't even dare to raise her head when speaking. Xia sees them as the same person.

I heard that she threw herself into the river on the day her engagement was annulled. I don’t know whether it was true or not. After she took the marriage certificate with her that day, she went directly to the town with Yang Shan. When she came back, she heard other people talk about it.

But early the next morning, she heard rumors that the Yang family disliked poverty and loved wealth. Later, when she and Yang Shan went there, they found no one was harmed, and even their personalities had changed.

She suspected that this girl's previous personality must have been pretending, but she couldn't figure out why she was pretending.

After driving for half an hour, the ox cart finally slowly approached the town gate.

Gu Panxia looked at the three big red letters "Qingyou Town" on the big stone and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

 Along the way, the road was bumpy and bumpy. Not only did her **** hurt, her courage was almost broken. This trip to town was as uncomfortable as experiencing life and death.

As soon as the car stopped, she couldn't wait to get out of the oxcart. After handing the two cents to the uncle driving the car, she ignored Hu's sarcastic words and walked away directly.

“Mom, why does Gu Panxia look so weird now?” Yang Xiaocui looked at the direction Gu Panxia was leaving and wondered.

Mrs. Hu spat and said: "This girl is very evil now. Don't mess with her anymore. She slandered our family. Your father and I came to talk to her, but she was unwilling to come forward to explain. It's like she has changed."

When he mentioned this, Mrs. Zhao, who originally wanted to say goodbye to their mother and daughter, hurriedly stopped her words of farewell and sneaked away when the two of them were not paying attention.

She couldn't let the Yang family know that she had done this. They were marrying the county magistrate, and she couldn't afford to offend them.

As soon as Gu Panxia stepped into the market, she heard the shouts of various sellers. She walked around the vegetable selling area, but she didn't see anyone selling beans. Most of the places were filled with meat and vegetables.

She found a place selling baskets in a corner, bought a big basket for five cents, and then turned around and left.

She remembered that there was an abandoned street in this town, which was originally a market, but later because a new market was built, everyone moved to the new market. Over time, the place became ruins.

 She took the basket to the abandoned market, looked around again, and when she saw no one was there, she took the beans out of the space.

The beans weighed more than 80 kilograms in total, and they were not light. Gu Panxia was very thin and could not move them at all. It took a lot of effort for her to drag the baskets of beans out of the ruins.
