Ning Guang was wandering in front of Baozhentang, hesitating, but the boy inside saw it and came out with a smile and asked: "Brother, you want to buy some jewelry for the young lady, why don't you come in and choose it? Our Baozhentang
There are all kinds of gold, silver, pearls and jade, there is always something you will like."
Ning Guang coughed, walked up the stairs, and entered the Baozhen Hall. He suddenly felt that the room was filled with bright colored glass, gold, silver, jewelry, and jade.
"What kind of jewelry does Brother want? Gold and silver? Hosta and precious stones?" The young man introduced enthusiastically: "The jewelry in our Baozhentang are all new styles. Should it be given to the young lady or the old lady?"
"Let me take a look." Ning Guang glanced at him and walked straight in.
The boy was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Brother, please." Usually, most people who say this will not buy it in the end, but he still put on a smile.
Ning Guang looked at it slowly. To be honest, the jewelry in such a small place is not very luxurious, but it is also exquisite. As for the flowers, it is top-notch for ordinary people.
But Ning Guang is dissatisfied. In his opinion, everything here is only average.
"Isn't there any good one?" He looked up at the little boy.
Seeing that he had been looking at him for a long time without making a sound, the boy suddenly heard him speak and hurriedly said: "Of course there are some." After a pause, he tried again: "I wonder what kind of thing does the elder brother want? A bracelet, a hosta, or a necklace.
?”
"Take them all and take a look."
The boy responded and called the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper glanced at Ning Guang and frowned when he saw that he was dressed in common clothes, but he still brought out a tray covered with red silk cloth.
"My guest, please take a look." The shopkeeper smiled and opened the red silk cloth, revealing the items inside.
Ning Guang was a little hesitant about various jade bracelets, hostas, gold bracelets, etc.
Seeing that he was hesitant, the shopkeeper asked tentatively: "May I ask if this is a gift?"
"A girl who hasn't even had hairpins yet." Ning Guang pursed his lips and added: "The fourteenth year of the year."
The shopkeeper laughed and said: "If you have a hairpin, you should give it a jade hairpin. If you haven't got a hairpin yet, you might as well take a look at this bracelet. It is the latest bracelet from our Baozhentang. It is very popular among girls. There is also this
Waiting for the earrings.”
Ning Guang glanced at it, picked up a red gold bracelet and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully. The small and exquisite bracelet was hollowed out and made of thin gold wires wound into a flower pattern. It was very beautiful.
"How much?" Ning Guang handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. This branch bracelet is a new model from our Baozhentang. It was just delivered yesterday." The shopkeeper chattered with a smile on his face.
"How much silver may I ask?"
"Ah, oh, this bracelet only costs twenty-five taels."
Ning Guang frowned, as if he was thinking deeply. When the shopkeeper saw it, he said, "I think the guest is sincere in buying it. How about twenty-two taels?"
Ning Guang remained silent, pursed his lips, as if he was appraising the price, but the shopkeeper couldn't figure it out. He gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty taels, this is the lowest price."
Ning Guang then twitched the corner of his lips, took out a banknote from his chest and handed it over: "Seal it."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then quickly narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said in response: "Sir, you might as well take a look at these earrings. If you like them, they will be cheaper together."
"No need."
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."
After returning from the town, Ning Guang saw that the sky was getting dark. Instead of returning to his home, Ning Guang went directly to Su Liu's place in Bei'aozi. From a distance, he saw Su Liu and a man talking behind his back.
Ning Guang frowned, pursed his lips and walked to the back of the house without saying a word. The words of Su Liu and the man named Xizi drifted over in the wind, and he couldn't help but darken his face.
Su Xizi walked away in despair, her lonely back looking even more desolate under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Su Liu sighed and turned around, only to see Ning Guang standing in the corner of the room.
She walked over and asked with a smile: "You're here now? Why don't you go in?"
Ning Guang raised his chin towards Su Xizi's back and asked, "Who is it?"
Su Liu glanced in his direction and said, "Su Xizi, from the village, has always helped us mother and daughter a lot."
Ning Guang's thick eyebrows were furrowed, he glanced at Su Liu, and said for a long time: "Keep a distance from me in the future."
Su Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hey, are you jealous?"
Ning Guang glared at her, snorted softly, walked around her and walked into the courtyard.
Su Liu shook his head in a funny way and also walked in.
Because it was Su Liu's birthday and it coincided with the Ghost Festival, the dinner was very sumptuous. However, with Ning Guang around, Chen and the others felt a little uncomfortable and even a little restrained. Su Xiao, who had always been active, was also very quiet.
Like a lady, eat properly.
Su Liu, on the other hand, was adjusting the atmosphere throughout the whole process. In the end, he was almost done eating, and Ning Guang stood up and said goodbye.
Su Liu sighed and said, "I'll take you out."
Ning Guang remained silent, which meant that he would not refuse, and the two of them walked out of the door.
On a summer night in July, the earth is completely silent, except for the stars and the chirping of insects.
"Don't blame me, my mother and the others are just not used to it." Su Liu was the first to speak: "In the future, if you come to eat more often, you will gradually get used to it."
Ning Guang glanced at her, pursed his lips, and said, "What are you going to do about the rumors in the village?"
When Ning Guang heard those unpleasant rumors, he was filled with anger and had the urge to teach those people who were talking nonsense a lesson.
Su Liu sneered and said: "The pure will themselves be pure. It's just that the grapes are sour because they can't eat them. Why bother to argue."
Even so, it is still harmful to the reputation, but it has always been said that widows have a lot of troubles in front of them, and they are mothers, so they are destined to become a topic.
Ning Guang still pursed his lips, but Su Liu smiled again and said with a smile: "There is no way to break this rumor."
Seeing Ning Guang looking over in confusion, she smiled and said, "If you marry me, the rumors will be disproven, but is this so?"
Ning Guang's ears felt hot after hearing this. Fortunately, it was dark night and he couldn't see his face. He only showed a slight dissatisfaction and said: "You are not ashamed. Is this what you can say?"
Su Liu shrugged. She didn't mean to say it. In other words, it was just saying that, but getting married now was impossible.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Ning Guang handing over an object.
"What is this?" Su Liu took it. It was wrapped in cloth and seemed to have a box inside.
Just as he was about to open it, Ning Guang's hand came over and just covered her hand. He pulled it back as if he was electrocuted and said hurriedly: "I'll look at it again when I go back. I'm giving you a birthday gift. I'm leaving, so why not?"
Come back." After saying that, Su Liu didn't wait for a reply and walked away in a hurry.
Birthday gift?
Su Liu was a little stunned, looking at Ning Guang's panicked figure walking quickly through Lue County under the starry sky, and suddenly smiled, feeling more and more that his decision was a good one.
