The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

Chapter 254 Thank you! Aunt 4!

She pointed to the old lady Hua who was wearing a big “Fu” pendant and said:

"Look, that is a blue character for blessing, it is elegant and dignified, doesn't it look like what old ladies in wealthy families wear? Of course, we don't only have this style over there.

There are so many styles, including flowers, plants, mountains and rivers. You can get whatever you want. It all depends on your luck."

Shen Zhiqiu's second aunt, who was busy at the side, also interrupted: "Look at this on my neck, there is a magpie standing on the plum tree, this is called a magpie climbing a plum tree,

And what place are we in? It’s the Temple of the Ancestor of Man. Maybe you will get the right one, which means the Ancestor of Man. It’s fate!”

Ordinary people certainly wouldn't dare to talk about the ancestors of mankind casually. In ancient times, gods and ghosts were the most taboo things, but this definitely didn't include the people in Shenjia Village.

They have been through so much and have long understood that when something happens, it is useless to blame the heavens or the earth, or to kneel down to the heavens or the earth. Only by gritting your teeth and persevering can you survive.

So what Cui Fen said about Ren Zu was so justified that it even convinced the young wife.

I muttered to myself, "Yeah! What kind of place is this? Maybe it's the birthday of the ancestor of mankind, and the ancestor of mankind is watching from the sky."

It wasn't just this stall. Today, the girls from Shenjia Village, who were not allowed to wear hairpins, also wore earrings.

Shen Nannan and other little girls were so envious that they had to ask her grandmother, Mr. Shen's eldest daughter-in-law, Old Zhou, when she could get her ears pierced.

In this dynasty, when a girl is about seven or eight years old, she can ask her elders to choose an auspicious day to pierce her ears.

The general method is to first use your fingers and rice grains to soften the girl's earlobe, then use a small needle to poke the concave part of the earplug, insert a thread, apply local medicine, and the ear piercing is completed.

Gradually, a small hole grows in the belly of the ear, and you can wear your favorite earrings. Piercing the ears here is similar to the coming-of-age ceremony, which are both blessings from elders to girls.

Therefore, almost all women in ancient times had pierced ears.

Here, a young wife selling steamed buns is showing off to the wife selling steamed buns across the street. She is wearing a pair of orchid-shaped earrings.

The pride in her eyes could not be hidden, and it was evident in her words. Even though your buns are better than ours, your man is reluctant to spend money on you. Have you seen the jewelry on my ears? I bought them from the most expensive silver shop in our county a few days ago.

The wife originally sold buns, and it wasn't that the man didn't buy from her, but mainly because she was good at managing her life and was well-known for her thriftiness in the surrounding villages.

When I first married into my husband's family, the family lived in a shabby thatched house and there was a blind mother.

As a result, they relied on their skills in selling buns at stalls in markets and temple fairs. Now they have changed into brick and tile businesses, and they have a son studying in the town.

His husband was busy kneading dough, but he pricked up his ears to listen.

Shen Zhiqiu's sister-in-law was introducing a young wife and said:

"Sister, to be honest, my earrings are new style. Farmers like us can't afford gemstones and jade, so my niece came up with the idea of ​​using porcelain to make jewelry.

It is said that we should let the women of ordinary families have some color. I don’t really understand the deep meaning of this, but I feel that there seems to be a kind of hope in it. "

The daughter-in-law also nodded and said, "Yes, I feel encouraged when I hear that. Does it mean that we can get better and better like those people?"

Song nodded: "That should be what you mean. If you like it, wait until our ring-tossing stall is ready and you can go and try it. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to catch one."

Goodness, Shen Youyou meant that she hoped that girls from ordinary families could also live a colorful life. Although the aunt didn't quite understand what she meant, it didn't stop her from promoting the ring.

Fourth Aunt Xiao Yang was even more interesting. She and Li Jingshu were looking at a stall. Just as they were setting up their stalls, they saw a stall selling hair flowers across the street:

"Oh, look at this hairpin of yours. It doesn't have any inlays on it, and you're selling it for five cents. Wow, it's too expensive."

The man at the stall said, "Go away, don't bother me if you don't want to buy anything. Don't you have the five cents to pay?"

Little Yang deliberately touched the Ruyi head on her head and the wooden hairpin inlaid with orange ceramic fragments. The meaning of "I don't like your hairpin" in her eyes was too obvious.

She didn't come here to cause trouble. She asked, "How much did you spend on this?"

At this time, the head flowers are made of silk, satin, damask, satin and other fabrics. After being pulped, chiseled, dyed, and shaped, they are made into petals, stamens, and leaves, which are then glued into flowers and assembled into complete branches.

The items on this stall appear to be made of scraps of cloth, and the workmanship is pretty good.

The man opened his mouth and said, "50 cents. Do you want to buy it?"

Little Yang was startled and blurted out: "Why don't you go and rob it? I think the maximum is five cents."

The man was also very angry and said, "I want whatever you have for five cents. I'll give you ten cents for the one on your head. Will you sell it?"

Young Yang: "No, but if you want, you can go to our stall and try it out. But I'm telling you, I'll buy all your flowers for you. Will you sell them for five cents each?"

The man fell silent after hearing this. In fact, he said fifty cents because he felt that this woman was just here to cause trouble. Now that he saw that she really wanted to buy it, he became a little hesitant.

But five cents is really not much to earn, so he stretched out his hand and gestured back and forth to say, "Ten cents each, that's the lowest."

Little Yang rolled her eyes: "The maximum I can give you is six cents."

The man: "Nine coins, no lower."

Young Yang: "I'll sell it for six cents. If you don't want to sell it, forget it. You should know that I bought it all for you. I want all the hairpins. Can you sell them all by just putting them here for a day?"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I'll sell it to you for seven cents, but that's because you bought it all at once. I won't sell it to you for six cents if I don't make money."

Little Yang didn't believe him. When he said five cents, his eyes were hesitant.

Considering Xiao Yang's original family, she grew up under the influence of others. It can be said that the man's expression could not escape her eyes at all.

"It's only six cents. You can sell it if you want. If you don't, I'll leave. I'm still busy watching the stall."

Just as she pretended to turn around, the man said, "Hey! You are so anxious. You want them all, right? I have more than fifty flowers in my hair. Are you sure you want them all?"

A smile flashed across Little Yang's face before she turned around and said, "I don't have any money with me. Wait for me to get it. You should pack it all up and count it clearly. I will count it when I come back."

She really had no money. In ancient times, all the money of each household was in the hands of her mother-in-law. Even though she and Shen Zhidong had some private money, it was only a hundred or so coins, which was not enough.

Yang found Old Lady Hua and said, "Mom, this is what I'm thinking. Our hairpin stall always has wooden hairpins, which is boring. I've negotiated the price of the hairpins over there, and he said they're six cents each. If we buy all of them, we can put them on the hairpin stall and add more variety."

Old Mrs. Hua really looked at her daughter-in-law several times, and unknowingly discovered that she had experienced a lot because of fleeing famine, and she knew how to think more about everyone.

But: "You have good intentions, but we can't pay for this money by ourselves. You should know that this is for everyone. Go ask your grandfather for money.

We all live together, so it's better to be clear about it to avoid trouble. But if you want to buy it for my grandchildren, I can give you money."

Then he paid money from Master Shen and sold fifty-seven flowers at six cents each. All the girls, young and old, who could not afford to wear a wooden hairpin, got one and were very happy.

Everyone knew that it was Fourth Aunt's idea this time, and they all thanked her in unison, "Thank you, Fourth Aunt."
