Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs
Chapter 24
"Oh, why are you so excited?"
Matchmaker Wang covered her mouth and smiled. Although her relationship with Xia Bai'an was not the best before, she also knew that every time she came to the town, she would talk about the two dolls, which only made people think that she had a good life. hard.
But after all, no one has ever seen the two dolls of the Mo family, only hearing Xia Bai'an's description, they thought they were two country boys like rogue monkeys, they should be ugly in the wind and rain.
But she looked at that girl named Mo Xue, her face hadn't grown up yet, but she could already see a bit of beauty.
Instead of waiting for Xia Bai'an to sell the child to Yazi.
It's better to do the business for her.
Thinking of this, Matchmaker Wang pretended to be generous and took out five taels of silver from her pocket.
"If you agree, take the five taels of silver first, and I'll introduce you right away. When your daughter enters the county magistrate's mansion, she can live a good life, right? It's all about your stepmother." reputation."
Five taels of silver is not a small sum in this village.
Xia Bai'an's brows were only slightly raised.
Since Matchmaker Wang wanted to introduce a man to Xiuhong, she couldn't directly tear herself apart, so she had to make a detour first.
"Xue'er is still young, and I don't know what the character of the county magistrate is, so let it go."
Matchmaker Wang frowned: "Sister Xia, you don't really think that the daughter of the Mo family is the reincarnation of a fairy, do you? You can't even look down on a deposit of five taels of silver?"
"Money is not a problem."
"Stop joking, Sister Xia, who doesn't know that your Xia family's eyes follow money from the master to the wife, down to the servants and servants."
Seeing that we couldn't reach an agreement, Matchmaker Wang simply raised her chin slightly, and put down another five taels of silver, "Forget it, for the sake of our acquaintance, I'll make another payment. This is just a deposit. I can also ask for two silver coins for you."
A hundred taels, you want her to sell her daughter?
Ridiculous.
Even if there are two drops of spiritual spring water in her space, it is more than this price.
She still shook her head: "I said, it's not about money. Xue'er is still young, so don't worry about getting married."
Why did Xia Bai'an change his temper!
Don't listen to her sway, and still protect the two sons of the Mo family like this!
Matchmaker Wang was furious, thinking that she had finally taken a fancy to such a beauty, and she could still make people run away!
Since Xia Bai'an toasted and refused to eat, then don't blame her for turning her face.
Matchmaker Wang immediately went up against the case and scolded angrily.
"Don't pretend to be high-definition here, let me tell you, the shop where you buy rouge and gouache every day is opened by my own sister! If you don't hand over the little girl from the Mo family, I will ask my sister to come over and ask for the bill .You bought rouge and gouache on credit before, but there is a lot of money!"
Xia Bai'an also threw the quilt on the table again, looking straight at Matchmaker Wang with sharp eyes.
"How much is owed, I will pay it back."
"Okay, then I'll see if you can't pay it back! If you can't pay it back then, use the girl to pay off the debt!"
Matchmaker Wang left angrily.
Xia Bai'an sighed again and again.
The original owner's circle of friends is also very strange, and they are all provoked by those who look down on others.
But she should have thought of it earlier, such a thick rouge powder would cost a lot of money on weekdays, how could the original owner get it.
She went back to the room and rummaged through the boxes, but she couldn't find the account books of the original owner.
"I don't keep accounts..."
Xia Bai'an sighed straight away, it seems that he has to go to the rouge shop to ask about it later.
Otherwise, I will always be held accountable, and I will die of discomfort.
She had no choice but to leave the house, and saw two children squatting in the corner just like before, she just said hello to them as if they were tired: "I'll go to town first."
Mo Xue raised her head from her knees and asked her, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the rouge shop."
Xia Bai'an still had some money left in his hand, so he paid it off.
However, Mo Xue watched her figure disappear at the gate, clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes turned red.
"I knew she had been so kind to us recently, and she didn't have good intentions."
Just now she heard outside that the matchmaker and the owner of the rouge shop are sisters.
Isn't Xia Bai'an going to the rouge shop just to sell her?
Mo Yu also squatted beside her: "Hasn't Mother already changed?"
"It hasn't changed at all. Isn't she buying us new clothes and eating delicious food just to sell us at a high price?"
Mo Yu opened his mouth, thinking of how well Xia Bai'an was doing a few days ago, and even more thinking of how Xia Bai'an used to beat and scold.
What's more, my sister is the best person to him.
After thinking for a while, Mo Yu picked up the small hoe from the side: "If she really wants to sell us, I will definitely not let her go."
"Of course!"
Mo Xue gritted her teeth hard, feeling that her life these two days was like a dream, "I failed to finish her off last time, so I will definitely not miss this time."
Last time they were able to leave her dead in the wilderness.
This time, what else can't be done?
……
Qingshan Town.
Xia Bai'an inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.
"It must be someone scolding me behind my back."
She muttered to herself and found the biggest rouge shop in Qingshan Town along the way.
On the plaque of the rouge shop, there are flying and flying phoenixes written Meiyanxuan, and there are many young ladies standing inside, seeming to be choosing.
She turned her face to the sky, and as soon as she took a step inside, there were bursts of exclamations.
"What an ugly girl, how dare you come to the rouge shop to buy things."
"It's really unheard of that there are such ugly people in the world."
Everyone looked disgusted.
Xia Bai'an didn't care, looked around and found a servant: "Is your boss here?"
The servant turned his head, and was frightened out of his wits.
"Oh! Isn't this Miss Xia? Why did you come to our place without applying rouge and gouache? Hurry up and go in, don't scare people."
The servant took her to the private room in the backyard, closed the door, and went to find the boss.
But after a while, a well-dressed woman came over. If you look closely, she looks a bit similar to Wang Matchmaker's eyebrows and eyes. It seems to be the sister she mentioned, the boss of Meiyanxuan.
"Sister Xia, you don't usually go out like this."
Xia Bai'an sneered: "I've used too much rouge and gouache, and I don't even remember what it looked like."
"Sister Xia really knows how to joke."
Boss Wang walked around the table with a smile and sat down opposite her, "I've heard about you from my second sister. Since you refuse to sell your daughter, you decided to pay me back with real money." .”
Xia Bai'an nodded.
"It's just that I don't remember how much I paid on credit, so please ask the boss to take a look at the account book."
"Xiao Cui, go get sister Xia's account book."
Boss Wang narrowed his eyes, and looked at the materials on Xia Bai'an's body, which seemed to be cheaper than the ones he used before. He immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, "Sister Xia has been a frequent customer of mine for many years, and she has a lot of credit."
"No matter how much, I can still afford it." Xia Bai'an said coldly.
Matchmaker Wang covered her mouth and smiled. Although her relationship with Xia Bai'an was not the best before, she also knew that every time she came to the town, she would talk about the two dolls, which only made people think that she had a good life. hard.
