C59 Shopping (2)

The blacksmith turned around and picked up the iron hoops on the shelf, "These iron hoops each weigh one Jin, you can adjust the weight of your ankles and wrists according to the number of iron hoops you have on your hoops, or you can increase or decrease the number of iron hoops."

After hearing the blacksmith's master's explanation, Fang Ruzhu gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle, you're too amazing."

"Hehe, there, there. These are all requests made to me by some martial artists from our Li Yang County. Sometimes, I will write them down." After hearing Fang Rujin's praise, the fat man scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's just that I didn't realize that the lady was actually a practitioner at such a young age."

"Uncle, you flatter me. I was just playing around. I can't even be called a practitioner." Hearing the blacksmith speak like that, Fang Ruyi waved her hand and said, "Then I don't need a custom-made wristguard. I can just buy some shot balls and iron hoops from you. "Oh right, when can you make that firewood knife just now?"

"It will definitely be completed in an hour." When the blacksmithing master heard Fang Ruxiu speak about proper business, he stood in front of the iron furnace and responded to her while forging.

"Then I'll pick it up in half an hour." As Fang Ru Xiu spoke, she ran to the blacksmith's shop and picked out two shot balls and twenty iron hoops. When she bought them, she didn't even bring any silver taels, but first she put all the items in the shop on her body.

One iron ring weighed one Jin, twenty iron rings were equivalent to twenty Jin, and there were also two three pound shot balls. Since there was a chain on them, Fang Ru had tied them to her legs. Fortunately, the sizes of these iron hoops were a bit different, so Fang Ruzhu could easily put them on. Otherwise, she would feel extremely tired if she was given even a little more weight.

She had no idea how many pounds this little girl weighed, and she had never done anything heavy before. Her body was rather weak, but at this moment, in order to cultivate her martial arts as fast as possible, Fang Ru Xiu had begun to ignore this.

"How much is it?" With this set of equipment on, Fang Ru Xiu directly arrived in front of the blacksmith who had just spoken to her.

When the blacksmith saw Fang Ruzhu's sleeves and pants, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. At this time, he stopped wasting words with her and directly said, "These things will all be worth ten gold coins per catty, they're all twenty-six. This time, you'll be exempted from paying for the goods you bought."

"Well, two hundred and sixty." Fang Ruxiu nodded and said.

"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded and said.

"Then, can I buy so many things? Adding this firewood knife makes a total of three hundred gold coins, doesn't it?" Fang Ru Xiu bargained with the shopkeeper.

"Mm, alright then." The manager said after thinking for a while.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Fang Ruzhu paid him and made an appointment to go back to the machete an hour later before leaving.

Mainly because the three of them carried too many things in their hands, they could only leave them with Fang Changliu who was at the north gate. They then came over to continue strolling.

However, they had just been delayed inside the smithy for a while, and when the three of them went to the north gate, Fang Changliu was already there waiting for them. After seeing Fang Changliu, Fang Ruyi pointed to an uncle who was driving an ox-cart. After receiving Fang Changliu's nod, Fang Ruyi placed the items on the ox-cart, then started to walk back.

This time, on the street, Fang Ruzhu bought twenty catties of cotton, as well as a few extra cloths that she planned to use as a quilt. He then went to buy a lot of pastries, meat and other food. After that, he went to that uncle to get a knife and went back home.

However, there did not seem to be much stuff on display. When the cotton seller and Cloth shop's worker delivered the cotton and fabric to the northern street of North Street, the ox-cart driver's clothes were immediately filled to the brim.

Adding on the food that the three of them were carrying, the three of them had already piled up the ox-cart that the uncle owned.

The uncle looked at his oxcart with a pained look, then looked at Fang Changliu and the other three. Finally, he said, "My oxcart is filled with stuff, the four of you can't sit on it anymore …"

"It's fine, we don't need to take a car, we can catch up to your oxcart even if we walk." Fang Ru Xiu said briskly.

"Sis, are we going to take a taxi?" Fang Yizhi's eyes widened as he looked at Fang Rumian and asked.

"I'm not going to take the bus. Are you going to take the bus?" Fang Ruzhu said, "You didn't train your body in this winter. Now you walk faster than me, and you still have the nerve to sit in a car?"

"Sister, I don't ride." Fang Yizheng immediately said: "Let's just let him sit in the carriage. He's young, so it's fine if I walk with you."

Fang Ruxiu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, then alright."

"I have to walk too." After Fang Yizhi heard Fang Yizheng's words, he immediately said: "I can endure hardships, I can walk and recite poems at the same time."

Hearing Fang Yizhi's words, Fang Ru Xiu smiled and said: "It's fine, we'll be tired after we leave for a while. We'll just sit on Uncle's oxcart."

In reality, she had walked about twenty li in the morning and was already exhausted from running around the streets. Now that she carried twenty-six kilograms of weight on her back, she felt as if her entire body was heavy, as if it was about to fall apart.

However, she wanted to quickly succeed. Other than this method, she didn't know what else she could do. In the past, her grandfather had told her to train more. Because she was lazy, she had already learnt her lesson once, so she didn't want to receive another lesson. After all, she wasn't smart, so she could only rely on her strength.

"Then be careful on your way." Fang Changliu said to the rest of the people.

"Don't worry, uncle." Fang Ruxiu said to Fang Changliu while smiling. During this, she even winked at him, causing him to not know whether to laugh or cry.

After that, Fang Ru Xiu rummaged through the carriage and found a book, it was the simplest of comments. She passed the essay to Fang Changliu and said, "Little uncle, this essay is for you."

"I can recite this from memory, why did you give it to me?" Even though Fang Changliu said this, he still took this essay.

"Uncle, I just want to tell you that you're still very young." Fang Ruxiu smiled and said, "I hope that you will be able to become an Elementary Scholar or even a High Scholar in the future."

"You little girl, you're really weird." Fang Changliu shook his head and said.

How could he not know the meaning behind Fang Ruxiu's words? Confucius was also someone who had reached the Great Dao late stage, so Fang Ruxiu hoped that he would be able to achieve great achievements late as well. In reality, there were a lot of people like Fang Changliu who were still studying, it was just that each person's family's condition was different.

"Little Uncle, you must not give up on yourself. I wish to see the day you ride your horse in a bright red robe." "Little Uncle, you have to believe me, you are a very smart and talented person, I feel that you are still an unpolished jade now, Little Uncle, do your best, there were people who dug a hole in the wall to steal everything from you in the past, so sometimes the condition is not a reason, it's just a form of escape."

After Fang Changliu heard Fang Ruxiu's words, he pondered for a moment. Then, he nodded, and after saying a few more words of caution to Fang Ruxiu and the others, he turned around and left.

As for Fang Ruyan, she looked at Fang Changliu's figure as he turned around to leave. After saying a few words to the uncle driving the carriage, the uncle driving the carriage waved his whip.

However, this time, she was not as relaxed as before. Although she had some skills, she had already expended too much strength previously, and the usual training of her body wasn't much. Most importantly, she was carrying too much weight on her body.

However, she clenched her teeth and endured it, because she thought in her heart that this oxcart belonged to them. Then, this uncle wanted to drive this cart to other places, in order to steal their things.

Fang Yizheng and Fang Yizhi were already out of breath from running, and this uncle who was driving the cow had a good heart as well. Seeing the three of them running like this, he immediately pulled on his oxcart and said: "Children, come up.

"Right, big brother, third brother, hurry up and get on the carriage with the two of you. I see you two sweating profusely, so don't catch a cold." After hearing what the uncle chasing the cow said, Fang Ruxiu immediately nodded her head, indicating that he was right.

"What about you, sister?" Fang Yizhi was actually very tired from running, but he still said while looking at Fang Ruxiu.

"I need to persevere a bit longer." Fang Ruxiu laid on the side of the ox-cart and waved her hand. "I want to see where my limit is."

"Then I want to see where my limit is." Fang Yizhi was actually tempted just now, but seeing how Fang Ruxiu's delicate and weak look was actually able to endure for so long, and because he did not want to be left behind by his sister, he gritted his teeth and spoke in a similar manner.

"Big Brother, don't you need to rest for a while?" Fang Ru Xiu asked.

"You've all decided to run for a bit longer. As your big brother, how could I fall behind?" Fang Yizheng said as he looked at Fang Rumian with extreme arrogance.

After hearing Fang Yizheng's words, Fang Ruyan nodded at him and continued to run forward. Seeing that the three children who had hired him had already run forward, the owner of the oxcart waved his whip and ran forward.

Actually, when the ox-cart didn't catch up to Fang Ruzhu, she had ran rather slowly. Honestly speaking, she was a bit afraid that this uncle would drive the cart away when they weren't paying attention. Then, all of their belongings would be on it.

Although she was running, she was actually keeping an eye on the ox-cart. Only when the ox-cart caught up with them did Fang Ruzhu relax a little, and then she ran to the same position as the old man in the front of the cart. This way, she could also take the chance to chat with him and divert some of her attention.
