Gu Chengyu heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, he found that it was Senior Brother Huang who wanted to be the host today.
"Senior Brother Huang? What a coincidence!" Gu Chengyu was a little surprised to meet him.
"I just looked like Junior Brother Gu, but I didn't expect it was really you? Are you buying jewelry for the women at home?" In fact, Huang Ming had been watching for a while, and it was him who the shopkeeper received at the beginning.
It's just that Gu Chengyu was only focused on choosing jewelry and didn't pay attention.
Huang Ming's counter here only sells ordinary jewelry. The jewelry where Gu Chengyu is staying is a bit expensive, and Huang Ming saw that he just bought a lot at once. In fact, he had already expected that Gu Chengyu's family must be well-off, otherwise he would not be able to live in Dongsheng Inn.
no
Moreover, Gu Chengyu stayed in the upper room. He and Qian Guineng stayed at the Dongsheng Inn because there were no other inns with vacancies near the examination room. They had no choice but to choose that hotel. The two of them stayed in a room, but they stayed in the lower room.
house.
"Yes! I finally came to the county town and I had to bring some jewelry for the women at home." Gu Chengyu took the twelve taels of silver that the shopkeeper had found and put these jewelry boxes. The shopkeeper also specially wrapped the jewelry boxes together, and from the outside
You can't tell it's jewelry inside, it looks like a gift.
"Senior Brother Huang also bought it for the female relatives at home?" Gu Chengyu said casually.
"Junior Brother Gu's family has quite a few sisters!" He looked carefully just now. Most of the jewelry Gu Chengyu chose were the jewelry of unmarried women, as well as the pearl flowers and silk flowers worn by the cardamom girls, as well as the hairpins of the girls with hairpins. The girls of the Gu family also
There must be a lot of babies.
Gu Chengyu was so willing to buy jewelry for the daughter of the Gu family, so the Gu family was definitely not short of money. Thinking of this, he had an idea in his mind.
Gu Chengyu felt that it was a bit strange that he asked these questions. They were not familiar with each other, so wouldn't it be very rude for the other party to ask about the women in his family? So he chose not to answer.
"It's getting late. If Senior Brother Huang picks your pick carefully, Junior Brother will leave first and will set off soon."
"Junior brother, take care of yourself! I'm just buying a hairpin for my mother." In fact, Huang Ming had already chosen the hairpin, but seeing Gu Chengyu looking at the hairpin in his hand, he deliberately covered it with his sleeves.
"Junior brother, I'll excuse you!" Gu Chengyu said goodbye to Huang Ming with a smile while carrying his things.
After leaving the shop, he looked back at Huang Ming and then walked back! The hairpin in Huang Ming's hand was clearly used by a married young woman to tie her hair. How could it be bought for his mother? But why did Huang Ming want it?
lie?
Suddenly, he thought of something. Gu Chengyu glanced at the jewelry box in his hand, laughed, shook his head, and went back the way he came.
Huang Ming in the shop looked at Gu Chengyu who was gradually walking away. He only looked away when he saw that Gu Chengyu was still buying children's toys at the stall.
"This talented man! Do you still want this hairpin?" The shopkeeper saw that the scholar was holding the hairpin, but he was thinking about something, and he didn't pay any money.
"Oh! How much silver?" Huang Ming looked at the hairpin in his hand. The joy he felt when picking out the hairpin was completely gone. At this moment, he only felt that this silver hairpin was particularly dazzling.
"I'll give you two taels of silver!" The shopkeeper had just made a big deal and was in a good mood right now!
Huang Mingyi frowned, "Can't it be cheaper?"
"Hey! This hairpin of yours is not expensive anymore, and there is no profit in it." The shopkeeper glanced at his mouth, he was a big shop, and he usually didn't bargain. If you buy more, you can get less. It's only two taels of silver.
How can I get a profit from this stuff? It’s not the crudely made junk stuff from the stalls outside.
"Actually, the one you chose is for a newly married young woman. If you want to buy it for your daughter-in-law, the one here is more suitable." Gu Chengyu and the others were talking just now, and the shopkeeper was standing aside, so he made a suggestion.
Huang Ming looked at the jewelry on one side and found that the styles were a bit outdated. These were generally used by older women. They had few designs and colors, mostly flat shapes and oblong shapes, and the hairpins had no carvings or patterns. Like this
The hairpins are cheaper.
"It's just two taels of silver, wrap it up for me!"
Huang Ming took out two taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took a piece of silk and wrapped the hairpin. The jewelry on the counter here does not have a jewelry box.
When Huang Ming saw that there wasn't even a box, his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
When Gu Chengyu returned to the inn with his things, Sun Xian and the others were already back.
"Junior brother! What did you buy? Such a big bag?" He Shunian was about to go upstairs, but found that Gu Chengyu had already entered the inn.
"They are all for my nieces at home. Girls like gadgets." The jewelry of Dayan Dynasty women also belong to women's boudoir. He is an elder, so it doesn't matter. But He Shunian is a foreigner.
Men, of course, can't look at it.
"Junior brother is so kind to my nieces at home. I often see you bringing things to them." He Shunian felt that Gu Chengyu was a bit strange. No matter how prosperous the Gu family was, they were still farmers. A girl from a farmer's family would not help the family every day.
Living? Just give her some food every day. Who would have thought that Gu Chengyu was so kind to his nieces?
What's even more strange is that he is still a little baby! He Shunian can only classify Gu Chengyu as the kind of person who likes to show pity to women. Some men are born to show pity to women, and their requirements for women are generally
Can't refuse.
He Shunian glanced at Gu Chengyu up and down. Maybe the Gu family's food has been good in the past three years. Gu Chengyu has grown a lot taller, and the skin exposed on his body is as white as jade. The most stunning thing is his pair of peach blossom eyes. You can imagine that in the future,
When he grew up, he became a handsome and charming young man.
It's just that Gu Chengyu is upright, otherwise, these eyes would be enough to smile
He shook his head and interrupted his random thoughts.
"Brother, what are you looking at me for? Have you packed your luggage?" Gu Chengyu made He Shunian feel a little uncomfortable, so he walked past He Shunian awkwardly.
"Ah! It's almost done! You guys should do this too!" He Shunian came back to his senses and replied.
"Xiaobao! Why did you buy so many things?" Father Gu was resting in the house. He heard the sound of the door opening, expecting that it was Gu Chengyu who had returned.
"Dad! Let's go back after lunch! We don't need to settle the bill at the inn. Shopkeeper Liu has already paid it. I will find another opportunity to pay it back in the future."
Gu Chengyu thought about it, if he asked shopkeeper Jiang to return the money, it would be too disrespectful to shopkeeper Liu. In the future, he might come to the county school and find an opportunity to return it.
"As long as you know this well, we can't take advantage of others in vain. We have a lot of money to live in these days, right? There is also food money, I'm afraid it will cost dozens of taels, right?"
While Father Gu was talking, Sun Xian and others came into the room, and Ye Zhiqiu was also with them.
"Brother Gu! We've been living here for so long, and we don't know how much the rent is. Let's just put it all together and pay it!" We are going back soon, and we must pay the rent. Father He plans to
You gave the money to the Gu family before leaving, so you can't take advantage of others! They just asked downstairs and they said the money had already been paid, so they came to the Gu family to ask.
