Chapter 2014 Buying Candles and Meeting a Proud Girl (2)
"Well, Xiaonian knows best. Let's do some calculations with Xiaonian. If we divide the front and back yards and light candles in several rooms, how many candles will we have to buy?"
Xiaonian did the math and said: "If we light candles in the front and backyard, minus sleeping time, we will need about 280 candles throughout the night. In addition to temporary use in other places, we will buy 300 candles together."
"Xiao Nian is a good calculation. But in order to be more comfortable, we'd better buy double. The candles won't go bad anyway."
"But Master, candles are very expensive. They cost a penny of silver each. 300 candles cost 30 taels of silver. If you buy 600 candles, it costs 60 taels of silver." Xiaonian was worried.
Mengyu pulled Xiaohong: "We can't even afford to light candles. Come on, let's buy candles too."
The three of them went to a candle shop.
"Xiaoer, how do you sell your candles?"
The waiter in the shop looked at the three of them. They didn't look like people from a big family, but more like a family where a few brothers and sisters came out. He concluded that they were from a small family and said, "One tael of silver and nine cents."
"Isn't it one tael and ten taels of silver?" Xiaonian pointed to a middle-aged man next to him: "I saw him paying you ten taels of silver, and you gave him a hundred taels of silver!"
The waiter looked at the middle-aged man and was about to explain when someone shouted: "Come here, waiter, I want to buy candles."
The waiter looked up and saw a beautiful woman, and ran over quickly: "Girl, how many candles do you want to buy?"
When Xiao Nian saw that the waiter didn't care about his owner and went to sell candles to others, he couldn't help but get angry: "Xiao Er, how do you sell things? We came first, why didn't you sell it to us first? That woman came later, you
But you have to sell it to her first?"
The girl looked at Xiaonian, said ah, pointed at Xiaonian: "So it's you!"
Xiaonian also recognized the girl: "It turns out to be you!"
Mengyu, who was checking the difference between those candles and candles on earth, was startled when she heard that it was someone Xiaonian knew. She looked up at the girl.
This girl was the same beautiful girl who pointed at Gu Dongxing and ordered him to buy her on the day she went to buy someone!
Mengyu remembered hearing from Jiang's mother that this girl was a girl from a wealthy family named Lin who had committed a crime in the provincial capital.
Probably because I used to live a life of masters and could not accept the current situation of being sold into slavery, so it was difficult to sell out.
When she and Gu Dongxing went shopping that time, the robes they wore were just transformed into ordinary clothes. Therefore, when Jiang Ma brought a group of them out, they were not enthusiastic about Mengyu and Gu Dongxing and did not want to
bought by them.
Only this girl saw that Gu Dongxing had first-rate appearance and temperament, so she fell in love with Gu Dongxing. She said to Gu Dongxing in a tone of ordering his servants to do things: "You should buy me."
When they failed to buy her as they wished, she threatened Gu Dongxing: "If you don't buy it, I will regret it."
The girl is here and went out to buy something. It seems that she must have been bought by someone.
The girl also saw Mengyu.
She looked Mengyu up and down. Different from that day when her clothes were dusty, although Mengyu's clothes today were still cotton, they were much better than that day.
But in the eyes of that girl, it was just an ordinary small family.
She snorted, looked at Mengyu and asked disdainfully: "Where is your man? Why didn't he come out with you?"
