Zhao Rong once again emphasized how rare this material was. In order to emphasize his words, he even mentioned what his mother had said to him repeatedly when he was at home as evidence.
Saying that, Zhao Rong was unwilling to give in. He looked at Gong Yu's clothes again, and then stared at Gong Yu: "Brother Gong, I have said so much, you should know it. Even like us
My family has some influence in the local area, and I can't wear clothes of such materials casually. That's why I just asked if your family is the richest in the area. But you actually told me that your family is just an ordinary wealthy family. You
Isn’t this coaxing me to play?”
Only then did Gong Yu really understand why Zhao Rong was unhappy just now and thought he was joking with him.
Not wanting the little brother he had just met to misunderstand him, Gong Yu quickly explained: "Little brother, don't worry, I really am not joking with you. I really didn't know this material could be so valuable before."
Seeing the expression of disbelief in Zhao Rong's eyes, Gong Yu quickly continued: "This material was given to our family by someone else to celebrate my eldest brother's achievement as a scholar.
Our family really didn’t know that this material was so rare. So we directly made a few clothes for our two brothers. After all, we two brothers were coming to the provincial capital to take the national education examination."
Hearing Gong Yu's explanation, Zhao Rong felt relieved. He finally understood that the reason why Brother Gong was so casually wearing clothes made of this new material and wandering on the street was actually the most fundamental reason.
The problem was that he had no idea how precious and rare this material was. When he thought of this, Zhao Rong couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that he had misunderstood Brother Gong from the beginning.
After laughing, Zhao Rong hurriedly faced Gong Yu with some embarrassment, "It's not Brother Gong. I'm so sorry. I didn't know you didn't know this kind of material at all, so I thought you were talking casually to dismiss me."
Well. I apologize to you. There was really something wrong with my attitude just now.
Thinking of what Brother Gong just said, that his eldest brother had already been selected as a scholar at a young age, and even came to the provincial capital to take the examination, then everything makes sense.
For such a young scholar with a bright future, no one would put a lot of effort and cost into trying to please him. So it is only natural to send such precious materials as gifts.
Zhao Rong remembered again what Brother Gong had just said about the hard life their family had lived in the past. It was not difficult to understand why their family had obtained such a rare material but treated it as ordinary fabric.
Treated normally.
After thinking about this, Zhao Rong felt even more embarrassed. His cheeks were a little red, his head was half lowered, his eyes were floating around, but he didn't dare to look at Gong Yu again.
On the opposite side, Gong Yu felt so uneasy that he didn't dare to ask Zhao Rong again, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. He hurriedly said to comfort: "It's okay, little brother. We must have just met, and there are some misunderstandings. Let's talk about it.
That’s fine.”
Hearing Gong Yu's generous words, Zhao Rong nodded hastily. He knew that Brother Gong was very kind to him and didn't care about his abruptness just now. But when he thought about the big trouble he had just made
What a joke, he felt ashamed again.
How could I doubt such a sincere Brother Gong? Brother Gong opened his heart to me and told him everything about their family. But as for me, I still suspected that he was deceiving me.
Thinking of this, Zhao Rong felt even more ashamed. He hurriedly wanted to change the subject. At the same time, he also wanted to make up for his rudeness to Brother Gong just now. He remembered that when Brother Gong described his family situation just now, he had emphasized
He mentioned to Xiang his eldest brother who was a scholar, and thought of how much eldest brother Gong admired his eldest brother. Zhao Rong thought that mentioning the young scholar named Gong Jian should be the safest topic.
"Brother Gong, you just said that your family's success in the future was entirely due to your eldest brother's efforts, right? I didn't expect that your eldest brother is not only good at reading, but also hunting and doing business.
"
Although there were some misunderstandings and jokes later, Zhao Rong did listen carefully to the family situation introduced by Gong Yu just now. He knew that it was entirely thanks to the help of Brother Gong and his family to get out of the predicament.
It was the efforts of Brother Gong's eldest brother. The young scholar had hunted and done business. In short, with his efforts, the family lived a prosperous life.
The reason why he said this is that Zhao Rong is indeed smart. From the few words Gong Yu just said, he can tell that Gong Yu respects and admires his eldest brother. So, now he brings up this topic and talks about it.
The eldest brother who was already said to be somewhat mythical by Gong Yu, that is, Gong Jian, did not immediately provoke Gong Yu into talking about sex.
Gong Yu immediately talked about the power of his eldest brother with great interest, "Isn't it? Little brother, you don't know that the back mountain behind our original village is something that most people don't dare to enter. There is indeed something deep in the mountain.
There are a lot of ferocious beasts, and the warnings from the elders that have been handed down in the village are to advise everyone not to go to the back mountain."
Gong Yu was still sighing: "Although we are close to the mountains that are rich in resources, the people in our village, yes, not only the people in our village, but also the people in more than a dozen surrounding villages, they only dare to be near the village.
At the foot of the mountain, go chop some firewood and burn it, or dig some wild vegetables nearby, no one dares to go deep into the mountain."
Immediately afterwards, Gong Yu began to describe in detail the several stacked peaks behind their mountain village. He told how his eldest brother was not afraid of danger, bravely entered the back mountain alone, and successfully
He caught a lot of prey.
What Gong Yu focuses on is how Gong Jian bravely went into the mountains to hunt without relying on any tools. The prey he hunted was extremely complete, and there was not even a wound on the body.
When the prey taken to the town is sold, the price is often much higher than the prey hunted by others.
And it was because Gong Jian took such a brave step that the people in the village realized that the words passed down from generation to generation were not entirely correct. (To be continued)
