Gong Jian didn't pay much attention to the price of the piece of cloth he asked. He took out a twenty-tael banknote from his arms and handed it directly to the fat aunt.
Seeing Gong Jian's generous payment made the fat lady even more surprised. She regretted it now. She just felt too happy. When the young man asked about the price, she told the truth.
Originally, the fat aunt didn't think there would be any customers coming to her door in today's situation. The young man said that he came to buy cloth, and she was already very grateful in her heart. In addition, the young man came up and asked about the whole piece of cloth.
price, so when she was happy, the fat lady directly quoted the lowest price in her heart.
At this time, seeing the young man being so generous and giving away twenty taels of silver, the fat aunt felt tight in her heart and felt a little regretful. She had known that this young man was a man with a lot of money even though he was not a show-off.
Yes, I should have said a few more words just now, and there should be no problem.
But then, the fat aunt also realized that, yes, this young man knew the young man in white robe who was trapped in the crowd. And from the clothes of the young man in white robe, it could be seen that the young man had a certain background.
Extraordinary.
I have never seen the kind of cloth he used to make robes. I just heard that this kind of cloth is usually made by weavers, and it takes a year to make a few pieces of fine quality. The few pieces of cloth produced every year
They are often sent to Beijing, where only high-ranking officials can see the good stuff.
And the young man in front of him actually knew the young man in white robe, so thinking about it, they did not come from an ordinary family. On this point, the fat aunt was mistaken at that time. The reason why the two brothers Gong Jian and the young man in white robe were...
Their acquaintance was also by chance. But Gong Jian and his friends were reborn into the kind of ordinary people that the fat lady thought was impossible.
Gong Yu followed his brother and walked into this cloth store. Although the products in this store did have more varieties than other stores, he did not expect that his elder brother would be able to see something as soon as he entered the door.
It was a piece of cloth, and there was no bargaining about the price. I just took out my banknote and bought it without saying a word.
Now he really can't understand his eldest brother's behavior. Shouldn't they be thinking of ways to help the prince outside? Why did the eldest brother suddenly think so and actually go to the cloth shop to buy fabrics for his family?
Already.
But Gong Yu also has an advantage, that is, he trusts Gong Jian, his elder brother. He believes that everything his elder brother does has his own reason. So even if he can't understand it now, Gong Jian just made a series of actions
, couldn't figure it out, but he followed his eldest brother silently, without raising any objections. He just watched his various actions, waiting for his eldest brother to tell him to do things, or to have time to take some time to talk to himself.
Understand why he behaves this way.
When the fat lady took the banknote, she started selling other pieces of cloth in her shop again: "Brother, don't you look at the other pieces of cloth? That piece of material is a treasure from the Western Regions. The entire West Street
I only have one like this in my store, and it’s perfect as a gift for my family.”
But no matter how the fat lady tried to sell him, Gong Jian always shook his head and said firmly: "I am interested in this one, and forget about the others."
Although she felt it was a pity, when the fat aunt saw Gong Jian's resolute attitude, she hurriedly walked behind the counter to find some silver for Gong Jian. The price of the piece of fabric was eight liang, and the one in her hand was a twenty-liang silver note. She should
I gave Gong Jian twelve taels of silver instead.
Looking at the banknote in her hand, the fat lady couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you want a banknote or twelve taels of cash?"
Gong Jian seemed to be waiting for the fat aunt's question. As soon as he heard her question, he immediately answered: "I want ten taels of silver ingots."
The fat aunt didn't think it was strange. After all, people pay with banknotes, and the money they get back is based on their own preferences. Since this little brother wants cash, I'll prepare silver ingots for him.
Her cloth shop is not small in scale and is quite famous on West Street, so there are quite a few silver ingots worth twelve taels in the store. When the fat aunt has found twelve taels of silver, the news comes out from the counter.
, handed it to Gong Jian with her own hands. She then turned around, picked up the piece of fabric that Gong Jian had just photographed, and wrapped it carefully.
When the fat aunt had wrapped the cloth and was about to hand it to the two brothers, Gong Jian said: "Sister, we need to buy some other things. We will put this piece of cloth in your store first. We will buy it later."
Come and get it."
The fat aunt thought there was no problem when she heard it. Now she was eager to follow the rich and generous brothers in her family more often. It would be great if they could develop into regular customers. So she happily agreed:
"Okay, little brother, don't worry. I guarantee that it will be fine if you leave it here. You can finish buying other things later and pick them up when you leave. Or you can tell me your address and I will have them delivered to where you live.
It’s also possible.”
Gong Jian didn't pay much attention to the fat aunt's warm reception and service. Instead, most of his attention was on the silver ingot in his hand. He weighed the entire ingot of ten taels of silver in his hand.
Then he turned to the fat aunt and said: "Sister, what you just said is that the young man in white robe gave the girl who sold her body to bury her father a piece of silver. Is it this kind of 12 pieces of silver?"
The fat aunt was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and nodded immediately: "Isn't that so? That white-robed young man was really generous. He didn't even hesitate and let his servant take such a large ingot of silver.
Gave it to the girl who sold her body to bury her father. What a pity, who knew
This little white flower, after seeing the silver, immediately stalked the young master. I would say that the white-robed young master was too generous with his actions. Ordinary people would give away only ten taels of silver.
.Isn’t this clearly telling people that he is a rich man?”
At this point, the fat aunt suddenly didn't dare to go on. You must know that the young man just handed out a twenty-tael silver note. When Gong Jian walked into the store, the fat aunt also paid attention.
Yes, that guy didn’t look carefully at all, he just casually
Pointing at a piece of cloth, he decided to buy it. This was considered a generous move. Who knows if what he just said might have offended the young man in front of him. On this point, the fat aunt was overthinking, and Gong Jian didn't listen at all.
