Zhou Gu thought he was not a very ignorant person, but he was still frightened by the value reported by the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife said to him angrily: "Yun brocade itself is rare, and high-quality Yun brocade is even rarer. The production process is cumbersome and time-consuming. It requires the highest level of craftsmanship and every procedure must not go wrong to produce such a good product.
Let’s talk about materials and patterns. Look at this piece of clothing on your body. It’s as bright as haze and radiant. Not only that, there’s also embroidery work, which contains a lot of gold and colorful threads. Even if you look at it with your eyes, it can be an ordinary piece of clothing.
Material? Even if our family of military commanders doesn’t pay attention to these extravagant styles, you should not understand the value of this dress since you have attended so many palace banquets since you were a child."
"I knew it was expensive, but I didn't know it was so expensive." Zhou Gu Na Na said, "I won't stare at the ladies in the palace."
The Duke's wife was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Gu himself also fell silent.
For a moment, the whole house was quiet.
After Zhou Gu sat dryly for a while, he suddenly straightened his back and said confidently: "I remember that not only the ladies in the palace, but also grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and sisters all wore clothes and materials like this."
Right?" He thought again and said with certainty: "My grandfather, brothers, and I don't seem to have any."
The Duke's wife rolled her eyes at him, "It doesn't seem like it, you just don't have it."
Zhou Gu looked at the Duke's wife, "Why?"
Don’t they deserve to wear such good things?
The Duke's wife looked at his eyes and laughed angrily, "Your grandmother, me, and your aunts all have such materials, which are all rewards from the palace. Your grandmother has a long life and has accumulated it for many years, so naturally there will be more. You and I will
Each of the aunts can only have two sets of clothes. When your sisters are old enough, the family will make one for each person to decorate the appearance. We are women's families, so naturally we have to dress better. Each of you is a big man, so naturally
Wear something rough, no matter how good the material is, it won't stop you from wielding swords and swords every day."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He understood. To put it bluntly, they just didn’t deserve it!
He tugged on his sleeves and looked at the clothes he was wearing. He really didn't expect that this piece of clothes would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. If he had known the price earlier, he would have had to argue with Su Rong about this.
What's wrong with tens of thousands of taels of silver? He insists on wearing it. Although it looks good, to be honest, he doesn't really deserve it.
When he was in Jiangzhou, he cleaned up Jiang Sheng's forces and had a fight with others. At that time, he was also wearing a piece of clothing given by her. Fortunately, he only touched it a few times and didn't tear it. Otherwise, he would be so heartbroken now?
It seems that when you fight with others in the future, you have to take care not to damage your clothes.
Zhou Gu suddenly felt that the clothes on his body were really a bit sweet and burdensome.
The Duke's wife added: "Because you studied literature and studied with you in the East Palace, the clothes your grandmother and I bought for you are more expensive than the materials worn by your brothers. The cheapest clothes you wear are
It's three to four hundred taels of silver. The clothes your brothers wear are basically around a hundred taels of silver. Only a few of them are as expensive as you to attend the palace banquet."
The implication is that you are already the most favored one. Who would have thought that after a trip to Jiangning, you would dare to wear tens of thousands of taels of clothes?
She really underestimated her son.
Zhou Gu was ashamed and his voice became softer, "Well, Xiaoqi made me three sets of ready-made clothes like this in total. There also seems to be such materials in the cloths that were brought back. I don't know how many, I haven't detailed them.
look."
The Duke's wife took a deep breath and said, "Even if you don't know the specific price of this piece of clothing, since you know it's very expensive, why did you accept so much at once? How did you accept it while licking your face?"
Zhou Gu blushed, twisted his body, and told the reason, "Xie Lin was also present at that time."
"What's the matter with Xie Lin?" The Duke's wife didn't understand his son's mind.
Zhou Gu immediately raised his neck with a proud look on his face, "Of course I want Xie Lin to see with his own eyes how envious and jealous he is."
The Duke’s wife: “…”
Princess Sheng'an and others: "..."
The Duke's wife laughed angrily, "Then will you pay back the money afterwards?"
Zhou Gu whispered: "No."
The Duke's wife's face darkened, "Are you really okay with asking your daughter's family to spend so much money on you? How did I educate you? Have you forgotten it?"
Zhou Gu naturally did not forget it, and said in a lower voice: "Afterwards, I asked her to make up for it, but she said that since it was given to me, it was given to me, so what's the point of making up for it? It's not like she sold me the clothes.
Are you there? She has a share in the Jinxiu Pavilion, so she can be considered one of the owners."
He scratched his head, "She really sincerely gave me the clothes, how could I not give her face? Mom, didn't you tell me that you want to give this girl face? She obviously said she would give it away, so I had to force myself to give her money.
, not too bad, right?"
He said with a bit more momentum, "Besides, I don't have a lot of money in my hands. Apart from the few thousand taels of silver I took with me when I left Beijing, I don't have any other valuable things with me as a return gift. I thought
We can only talk about it when we come back. Of course I can't ask for things from others in vain. Why don't I wait until I come back to ask my grandmother and you if there are any good things I can give her?"
The Duke's wife's face brightened slightly when she heard this, "That's the truth. If you think like this, you're not too confused."
Zhou Gu straightened his mouth and wanted to say, "Of course I'm not confused." But after receiving so much, he originally thought it would only be tens of thousands taels of clothes. Suddenly he realized that it might be more than that, and it might be beyond his knowledge, so he gave up.
momentum.
"Okay, have you brought back all those clothes and cloths?" Princess Sheng'an stopped the Duke's wife to prevent her from teaching Zhou Gu any more.
"Bring it back." Zhou Gu nodded.
"Let everyone bring it and let us all take a look and see what kind of good materials they are. If they are similar to what you have, then what this little girl has given you is really a generous gift." Princess Sheng'an said.
Zhou Gu nodded, "Just ask Zhou Xi to deliver it."
Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife immediately ordered someone to send a message to Zhou Xi.
Not long after, Zhou Xi came to the courtyard of the eldest princess of Sheng'an, and at the same time he brought Zhou Gu's clothes and cloths that he had brought back from Jiangning County, which were wrapped extremely tightly and protected.
The Duke's wife asked Zhou Xi, "Manager Zhou, do you know how much the clothes on Brother Gu cost?"
Zhou Xi cupped his hands and nodded, "Madam, I know. The clothes the Fourth Young Master is wearing are made of gold-colored brocade. They are made into ready-made clothes by top-notch embroiderers. Such a piece of clothing costs about a thousand gold pieces. Don't tell me.
It also costs tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Zhou Gu stared at Zhou Xi when he heard this, "Since you know the specific value, why didn't you remind me?"
Zhou Xi was wronged, "Fourth Young Master, I'd like to remind you that when Jinxiufang delivered those cloths to my door, I felt they were extremely valuable when I saw them. After you return home, I will tell you that these cloths are very valuable."
They are all too expensive, and there are so many. Can you let Miss Seven spend so much money? You wave your hand and say it’s okay.”
Zhou Gu: "..."
He thought about it and realized what had happened. He said, "I thought the most expensive clothes wouldn't cost so much money."
Zhou Xi didn't know what to say, "I reminded you twice at that time. You said you had collected them all, so let me put them away carefully..."
Zhou Gu was completely speechless. Indeed, that was what he thought at the time and he accepted it all.
Princess Sheng'an looked at Zhou Gu amused and told Zhou Xi, "Open all these and let us take a look."
Zhou Xiying was afraid that others would be careless, so he opened the packages one by one, arranged them in a row, and placed them on the long table.
As packages were opened one by one, the sound of gasping came to mind one after another from all around.
Zhou Gu knew that he had done something wrong, and he couldn't sit still, but he thought in his heart that Su Rong's expression at that time was too calm, just like looking at ordinary things, and he didn't see her gasping and unable to put it down.
Ah, only Xie Lin exclaimed twice. If Su Rong had shown such a shocked expression when seeing these cloths like her mother and aunts, he would have tried his best to stop them and would never have been coaxed by her.
living.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an was a little better than everyone else. After all, she had seen too many good things. However, she was also very shocked when she looked at these cloths, not one or two pieces, but a pile.
She stood up with help from someone, walked towards the table, looked at all the fabrics one by one, and then turned to wave to the Duke's wife, "Come and take a look, do you know these fabrics? Now they are priced according to the market price
Tell me what the exact price is and do the math."
The Duke's wife nodded and came to the eldest princess Sheng'an.
