boyutpedia Chapter 232 Framed
Chapter 232 Framed
There are a few small words below: 'Jinmiao Town, Sanshui County', and finally a big red seal.
Magistrate Niu was quite satisfied with his handwriting. He leaned over to sniff the ink, then blew twice to dry the ink.
"Okay, Village Chief Wang, this is for you."
"Oh, is this a reward for me?" Wang Fugui couldn't believe that he could get such a big bargain by coming here.
County Magistrate Niu smiled and said nothing, which was considered as his tacit consent.
Wang Fugui took a look and laughed out loud in surprise.
His ancestral grave is smoking! He actually got the calligraphy of the county magistrate.
Frame it! He must frame it.
Let the village heads in the neighboring villages be envious!
"Thank you, sir, the county magistrate. Thank you, sir, the county magistrate."
"Okay, now that you've finished your work, you can go home early. The county town and Lianglin Village are quite far apart, and it's not easy for you to come here."
The lawyer ordered them to leave, took them through the outer hall, and packed some snacks for them.
Only after leaving the county government gate did Wang Fugui dare to laugh out loud. Fortunately, he had money on him and would go and frame it later.
"Shouren, are you guys in a hurry to leave? I want to frame this calligraphy and hang it in the main hall. Don't you think it will be impressive to outsiders?"
"Uncle Fugui, we are not in a hurry to leave. My mother asked us to see if there are any rare things in the county town so that we can take some back home."
"Ahaha, that's perfect. Let's go quickly and find me a painting and calligraphy shop first."
After sending the man away, the lawyer returned to the inner hall and praised the county magistrate for "killing three birds with one stone".
"How can you praise someone like that? People who don't know would think I have done something evil." County Magistrate Niu took a sip of tea and fiddled with the wooden board in his hand.
"Haha, not only can this make Village Chief Wang feel that he is being valued, but it can also inspire the fighting spirit of other village chiefs, and it can also let everyone see the sincerity of the county magistrate. What else can this be but 'killing three birds with one stone'~"
"Hahaha~"
There was laughter in the hall...
Boss Zhou led the donkey and first went to the street to find a calligraphy and painting mounting shop for the village chief.
"Uncle Fuguier, you can ask them to frame it here, and we can go to the street and take a look."
"Forget it, there's nothing to see or do here. Go ahead. I'll wait for you here."
Wang Fugui didn't want to leave the calligraphy and painting shop. He wanted to watch the craftsman mounting the paintings himself for fear that they would be damaged.
"Okay, we'll pick you up later."
"Okay, go ahead, there's no rush."
Wang Fugui watched Boss Zhou and his three companions leave and sighed slightly.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go shopping, he’s just afraid that he can’t control his wallet!
I just spent all the money I had in my pocket.
That was forced upon me by my wife, otherwise my pockets would be cleaner than my face.
Boss Zhou took his wife and brothers to visit several cloth piles, picked out some cheap and affordable fabrics and bought a lot.
She also picked out some patterns that the little girl liked and made some fashionable clothes for the children in the family.
"Boss, look at how expensive this quilt is. This quilt with a silk cover costs more than three taels of silver. This bed, which I don't think is very good, costs another tael of silver..."
Liu touched the quilt in front of her and was stunned.
In the past, I would never dare to touch or look at such valuable things. If I accidentally broke them, I would have to pay for it, but my family didn’t have the money to do so.
"That's right, these are used by rich people."
The quilt cover and quilt lining are very soft to the touch, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects embroidered on them are lifelike.
If I buy this bed for my daughter as a dowry, she will be very proud in her husband's family.
Boss Zhou laughed when he thought of this.
Liu saw her husband laughing for no apparent reason and was so scared that she poked his shoulder.
"You don't want to buy it, do you? Forget it. Our hands and feet are rough. I wouldn't be willing to use it even if I bought it home."
"Who said I was going to give it to you? I was thinking that when my daughter gets married, I would give her a bed for her. It would be very prestigious."
After hearing what Boss Zhou said, Liu also thought it was a good idea!
"That's a good idea you mentioned. Let's wait until it's done. I don't think Daya is willing to do it."
"Okay, why are you talking about this on the cloth pile? Choose the cloth carefully."
The couple was whispering in front of the quilt rack for a long time, and the waiter next to them was getting anxious. Should he interrupt or not?
It was Zhou Laoer who was standing by, who picked out a few feet of soft cotton cloth.
The fabric feels quite sturdy. When the waiter heard that it was bought for the children at home, he explained it in more detail, saying that it is breathable and skin-friendly...
The description sounded very exaggerated, and although he didn't quite understand what he heard, he knew it was a good thing, so he asked for some without thinking.
"Sister-in-law, this fabric is good. Let's buy some more for Sidan."
Liu reached out and touched the fabric in front of her, and it was indeed good.
This child came at a great time. It's a blessing. Except for him, no other child in the family has been able to use such a good thing.
In addition to these fabrics, Liu also selected some silk threads.
All in all, these fabrics and silk threads are a little more expensive than those sold in Jinmiao Town, but they feel that they are superior in terms of color and quality.
In addition to buying these fabrics, they also visited some other shops.
It was an eye-opener, but they didn't buy it as they didn't really need it.
Thinking it was time for lunch, Boss Zhou drove his donkey cart towards the calligraphy and painting shop.
"Uncle Fugui, have you got your calligraphy and paintings mounted?"
"Okay, okay, I just framed it."
Wang Fugui jumped onto the donkey cart with the things in his hands, smiling happily.
I went out and got the calligraphy of the county magistrate. What's the difference between this and picking up a treasure?
Wang Fugui thought he was going home, but he turned a corner and stopped in front of a restaurant.
"You guys are..." You're not going to eat in the county town? It's so expensive!
"Uncle Fugui, you've come all this way with me, so I have to treat you to a meal before we go. It takes us several hours to get home from the county town, and how can we survive without a meal?"
"Oh~ We are all from the same village, and we have such a close relationship. It doesn't matter whether we are invited or not. It will be the same if we eat at home. You have never eaten in the county. These things are extremely expensive!"
When talking about the price, Wang Fugui gritted his teeth.
"It's okay. We have never eaten out in the county before. Let's try it today."
A few people carried their things and walked into a snack street and chose a shop there.
I ordered two bowls of noodles, two bowls of dumplings, and a plate of cold dishes, and the total cost was almost one hundred coins.
The higher price is understandable, after all, it is a county town and in a good location.
But the taste is a little bit worse! It's not as good as the ones made by my family.
