Chapter 90 These New Shoes Burn Your Feet!
This wish is really "luxury"!
"Silly girl!" She glanced at her, "Okay, let's go eat noodles! You can eat as many bowls as you want!"
Ruan Ling ate four bowls in one go.
Su Li asked someone to put a thick layer of meat on each bowl of noodles.
After four bowls of noodles, Ruan Ling's belly was bulging, like a pregnant woman who was pregnant with Liujia.
But she is very thin despite her small body. She looks like an inflated frog, which is particularly funny.
The master and the servant walked around the street, and Su Li bought a lot of food, including chicken, fish, meat, cakes and everything else.
Ruan Ling looked at the cart full of food and instantly regretted it.
"If I had known there were so many delicious foods, I wouldn't have been so full just now! Now I want to eat, but my stomach can't hold it. It's really distressing!"
"Then let's go and have some fun!" Su Li said with a smile, "The medicine has just been prepared, so I'll send it to Brother Gu!"
She took a detour and went to Gu Qiancheng's bookstore.
The shops left by Gu Qiancheng's mother were all maintained by the Fang family. He had never married a wife and could not live in another house. Naturally, these dowry shops would not come back.
Fortunately, he liked reading. Because he liked books, when he became the heir apparent, he bought a bookstore.
It seemed inconspicuous at first, but now it has become the basis of his livelihood. All his daily expenses come from this bookstore.
Otherwise, living under the stepmother Fang, with such pitiful circumstances, I might not even be able to afford decent clothes.
When Su left, Gu Qiancheng and his servant Gu Ci were busy in the store.
In order to save money, he did not hire any assistants. Everything in the store was taken care of by the master and servants.
Gu Qiancheng was very surprised when he saw Su Li at first sight. He hurriedly invited her to sit in the tea pavilion of the store and asked Gu Qiancheng to make tea.
Gu Ci was stepping on a stool to write, with his back to them. When he heard Su Li speak, he turned his head suddenly, his body immediately became unstable, and he fell to the ground with a "gudong" sound!
Gu Qiancheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aci, what happened to you today? Either you bumped here or there! From last night to now, you fell four or five times, right?"
"Really?" Su Li's eyes fell on Gu Ci, and after a moment of wandering, they settled on his feet.
Gu Ci wore a pair of brand new leather boots, which were the most fashionable style in Beijing. She remembered that Gu Mingxuan owned a pair.
Her heart sank slightly, but she raised her eyebrows slightly, and joked with a smile: "Maybe it's because the new boots on his feet are burning?"
"New boots?" Gu Qiancheng was startled, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Gu Ci's feet.
But before he could see clearly, Gu Ciren had already run away, and his voice came from inside, "Young madam, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"
"What young lady?" Ruan Ling pursed her lips, "Call her Miss Su! If our girl gets along, she will no longer be the young lady of the Gu family!"
"Yes!" Gu Ci laughed sarcastically, "I'm used to my little one! Let's change it now!"
"Any tea you want!" Su Li smiled back, "I don't choose!"
Gu Ci agreed, tinkered inside for a while, and then came out holding a tea tray.
"Miss Su, please have tea!" He poured tea for Su Li.
Getting closer, Su Li smelled the fragrance of powder on his body, his eyes wandered around his body, and soon he found the source of the fragrance.
It was a purse hanging on Gu Ci's waist.
The purse is very new and the style is very special. It is not a common pattern in embroidery shops. There is a small word "ci" on the side of the purse.
"Aci, do you have someone you like?" Su Li smiled and poked the purse.
It was meant to be a joke, but Gu Ci was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He jumped up high with a cry of surprise, and the teapot he was holding tilted immediately, and all the water in it poured onto his feet!
"Hey, you damn boy, what's wrong?" Gu Qiancheng laughed and scolded, "Is your foot okay?"
He leaned over to look at Gu Ci's feet and said, "Take off your shoes quickly! Rinse with well water..."
But his act of concern made Gu Ci become more and more panicked. He hurriedly stepped back and waved his hand: "I'm fine, I'm going to change a pair of shoes!"
As he spoke, the person ran away as if he had fled.
No matter how arrogant Gu Qiancheng was, he noticed something was wrong at this time.
Moreover, he also saw Gu Ci's feet just now, so he understood why Su Li said that his new boots burned his feet.
His new pair of boots is a new product from Jingzhong Famous Brand Pavilion. A pair of boots costs two taels of silver.
Two taels of silver is nothing to a wealthy family.
However, for the poor, it is just one month's subsistence money for a family.
Gu Ci was a little better off than the poor, but his monthly income was only two taels, which was more than what Gu Qiancheng gave him.
An ordinary boy's monthly income is only one tael.
But Gu Ci grew up as a waiter for Gu Qiancheng, so although he was poor, he had never skimped on this monthly payment.
With Gu Qiancheng's current income, he is reluctant to buy such a pair of boots.
The master was reluctant to buy it, but the boy did.
These boots made Gu Ci's feet really burn!
Gu Qiancheng vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it. He just smiled and said: "This boy must have been secretly dating a girl without telling me! Otherwise, how could he be willing to dress up so richly? Don't tell me, he is indeed here.
It’s the right age to say goodbye! We’re already eighteen!”
"Eighteen..." Su Li asked, "How old was he when he was with his brother?"
"You look like seven or eight years old!" Gu Qiancheng gestured, "Back then, he was dry and thin, and no one wanted him! So I asked for him, and he is as tall as me!"
"Brother, you sound like you are much older than him!" Su Li laughed, "You are only seven or eight years older than him!"
"An elder brother is like a father!" Gu Qiancheng laughed, "Speaking of which, Acicai is more like my brother! I have to think about finding a good girl for him! If I don't get married, I can't delay him too!"
When Su Li heard this, he raised his voice and called inside: "Aci, did you hear that? Your young master is really kind to you! That's right, he is a bit poor..."
Gu Qiancheng laughed: "How dare you say that I am poor? You are much poorer than me!"
"It's okay, we will be prosperous sooner or later!" Su Li smiled back, "When I cure my brother's eyes, he can participate in the Spring Festival again, win the first prize in one fell swoop, be the number one scholar, arrange flowers and parade in the streets, not to mention how glorious it will be!
"
"Haha!" Gu Qiancheng laughed, "A Li, not only have your ability to criticize others improved, your ability to praise others has also improved greatly! You think that the number one scholar is a persimmon on your tree, and you can pick it with just your hand.
Of?"
"But for brother, it's not much harder than picking persimmons!" Su Li said seriously, "Brother, you were the smartest person in Mingyue Academy back then! My cousin said it, if something hadn't happened to you two last year, then
The number one scholar in civil and military affairs must be you two!"
"That's true...it's true!" Gu Qiancheng recalled the glory of the past, his pride suddenly surged, his eyes were as bright as stars, "Back then, Brother Han was unrivaled in the capital, and my poems and articles were unparalleled.
