Dad Gu thinks it's expensive, but Gu Chengyu thinks it's okay. According to this estimate, one penny in the Dayan Dynasty is equivalent to one dollar in modern times. He has seen his mother buy pork at twelve pence per pound! This
It's still well braised, and it's not too expensive at 13 cents.
Gu Chengyu pulled Dad Gu and squeezed into the booth with many women in front, expecting that there must be rouge, gouache or jewelry. Dad Gu was too embarrassed to squeeze out the pile of makeup and powder, so he could only watch Gu Chengyu squeeze in, and also
He had no choice but to stay aside and wait. He didn't understand, why did his little kid still like these things? Could it be that his mother had developed a girlish temperament? Thinking about it again, Xiaobao also likes to act coquettishly, and Father Gu suddenly
It feels a little creepy, no! He has to have a good chat with Jinniang when he goes back. Xiaobao can't go on like this. He doesn't go out all day and doesn't play with boys. How can it be done? It seems that the study should be carried out as soon as possible. Wait until then
Schools are full of children who are studying, and they will definitely be able to correct themselves.
Gu Chengyu, who was picking up jewelry, didn't know about his father's disapproval. He didn't like these things now. He wanted to choose a good-looking jewelry for his mother and second sister. Although this kind of small vendor didn't have any good stuff, now their family also
It's not considered rich, it's just a small amount of wealth. Buy these Daidai first, and then you won't have to spend money so carefully when your family starts making some money.
The stall owner was an older woman. Gu Chengyu listened to her introduce the things on the stall while collecting money. She was quick with her hands and feet, and she could even boast about the jewelry on the stall. If she were a big girl and a little wife
When her children wore her jewelry, they all became gods, and Gu Chengyu was really impressed.
"Ouch! Whose little kid is this? He's so handsome! Why did you come to this makeup stall? You know how to buy makeup and jewelry to coax girls at such a young age?" The stall owner saw Gu Chengyu's beauty.
The tender little baby looks as cute as Yuxue, so I joked about it.
"Hey~ that's right! This baby is so good-looking, but he came with your mother?" The girls and wives around them all pursed their lips and smiled, and some of them directly took up the topic of the stall owner's wife and joked.
Gu Chengyu told the stall owner that her face turned red, and then she looked at the jewelry and makeup on the stall seriously, "I want to buy jewelry for my mother, and also for my sister."
"Yeah! This baby is really filial. Yes, you can choose, I'll give you a cheaper one. But you have to be rich! Do you have the money to buy it? If you don't have the money, just be my granddaughter's son-in-law!
Hahaha.” The stall owner was impressed by Gu Chengyu’s filial piety and cleverness, and thought the little baby was extremely cute.
Gu Chengyu was a little speechless. Who told him that women in ancient times were very reserved? He was speechless. He could only look at the stall and choose two pieces to leave. After a rough glance, he saw that most of the stalls were made of crude silver.
Hairpins and gold hairpins, as well as bead flowers made of rice-sized pearls, gold bracelets, silver bracelets, hairpin rings, etc., and rouge are all made of coarse porcelain, so the bead flowers are a bit unique. Gu Chengyu picked up one
The silver hairpin, when you weigh it in your hand, why does the weight feel wrong? If you look carefully, it seems that the outside is plated with a layer of silver. After looking at the luster of other gold and silver jewelry, you have an idea in your mind.
They are probably all silver-plated and gilt, and the ones made of real gold and silver are the thin hairpins. It seems that this stall is full of rough jewelry, which Gu Chengyu doesn't like.
He casually glanced to the side, eh? Next to a pile of rouge, there was a pair of silver shrimp bracelets that caught Gu Chengyu's attention. Gu Chengyu wanted to pick up the pair of bracelets, but was held down by a pair of big hands, "You little kid,
You fell in love with my pair of shrimp whisker bracelets as soon as you came here? These are really sterling silver!" The stall owner was a little doubtful that the little kid couldn't afford it, because the adults in his family were not around, so who kind of little kid would wear it?
So much money? Looking at the clothes this little kid is wearing, he doesn’t look like he belongs to a wealthy family.
Gu Chengyu knew what the stall owner was suspicious of. Of course he had money. But even though the money was with him for the time being, he still had to ask his father.
"Madam, how much is this bracelet of yours?" The workmanship of this shrimp whisker bracelet is different from the crude jewelry next to it. It looks slightly more fine. It is made of silver wire. It should be real silver wire, not silver-plated.
"My dad is over there. I think this bracelet suits my second sister very well. I'll give it to my mother. If it's affordable, I'll pick another hairpin. Do you have any good hairpins? I'll give them to my mother.
." Gu Chengyu saw that the jewelry on the stall was not exquisite, but since there was a shrimp whisker bracelet, maybe the stall owner had some better ones, but he just didn't take them out.
"Are you sure you really want to buy it? Where is your father? There has to be someone who makes the decision, right? Good hairpins are not cheap!" The stall owner said as she took out one that looked like it had a box inside from under the stall next to it.
He opened the cloth bag and found two silver hairpins inside. Gu Chengyu immediately noticed one of the hollow and carved hairpins. It was quite exquisite and unique. He felt that this silver hairpin would be suitable for his mother.
"How much is this hairpin and that bracelet?" Gu Chengyu asked the stall owner as he lit the silver hairpin. He came out early today and was a little hungry. After buying it, he quickly bought some food and went back! My eldest brother must also want it.
The wait is impatient.
"This bracelet costs three taels of silver, but this hairpin is very expensive! It costs five taels!" The aunt was very happy to see that Gu Chengyu really wanted to buy it, but she was worried that his family would not agree.
"Dad, come here quickly." Gu Chengyu shouted towards Dad Gu.
"What's wrong?" Father Gu heard his son calling him, so he walked over to this side.
The girls and wives surrounding him saw that he really wanted to buy jewelry, so they all moved out of the way.
"You kid, what are you doing here? Come out quickly." Dad Gu walked to the stall in embarrassment. The stall owner looked at Dad Gu and saw that such a farmer didn't seem willing to buy jewelry.
People!
"Dad, let's buy a hairpin for mom! I've chosen it, eight taels of silver." Gu Chengyu quietly put a ten-tael silver ingot in the space into his sleeve.
"What? Eight taels? Isn't this too expensive?" Dad Gu was shocked. This kid just didn't look at him for a while, and he dared to spend money on his father.
"Dad, don't you want to buy a hairpin for your mother?" Gu Chengyu squinted at his father. He didn't believe that his father would still refuse to move his mother out.
"Buy, buy, of course I have to buy it." Sure enough, when Father Gu heard that he wanted to buy it for Mrs. Lu, he didn't even care about feeling distressed.
"Auntie, look, if I buy you two expensive ones, can you make them cheaper? I'll pick four more beaded flowers, and you can make them cheaper for me."
"Ouch! This is really not expensive. You also know that I am a small stall and can't even sell at a high price. If you go to the Guangqing Silver Building in front, the price will be much higher than this!" The stall owner said exaggeratedly.
Holding her thighs, she shouted that her things were the most affordable.
