The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 179
"Then why don't you take a look here?" The waiter led Gu Chengyu to the counter on the left. The jewelry here is usually moderately priced, not those very expensive head jewelry.

"May I ask what are the female family members of the young master's family? You see, these are worn by women, and these are worn by unmarried women." The ancients divided women's jewelry according to whether they were married or not.

Gu Chengyu took a look at the types that the man pointed out, and found that the girls' ones were more delicate and exquisitely made, but gold and silver were not used much, and married women were more particular about wearing them. Not only should they be grand, but also heavy It is heavier, and the carving process is more cumbersome.

In the past two years, Gu Chengyu has also bought some jewelry for the female relatives of his family. When he came to this ancient time, he discovered that the most relaxed time for a woman is before she gets married. Standing straight, to put it bluntly, still depends on her natal family and brothers.

He also tried his best to add some dowry to them in this way before they got married. He knew that the elder brother and the second brother would not give more dowry for the daughter.

"Show me the bead hairpin." Gu Chengyu pointed to a hollow orchid bead hairpin and asked the clerk to take it out.

The man was taken aback, this pearl hairpin is gold!Although the body of the hairpin is a bit thin, the head of the hairpin is hollowed out with small pearls inlaid on it, which is not cheap.It's just that he didn't hesitate. Since the guest wanted to see it, he had naturally weighed his own money, and he didn't need to be annoying.

Gu Chengyu took this hairpin and looked it over carefully and felt very satisfied. The shape of the orchid fits Gu Lan's name and temperament.Besides, in the next year, the eldest girl will reach the hairpin, so this hairpin will just come in handy.

Da Ya is a big girl, so it is naturally different from other nieces, the little girl's is better to choose, either bracelets or pearl flowers.

He chose a pair of gold bracelets for Erya, they were of no color, Gu Chengyu held them upside down in his hand, and they added up to nearly two or two.There's no way, it's not that he doesn't want to buy good-looking ones, but once, Erya ran up to him and asked him shyly, if he buys jewelry for her in the future, can he only buy the real ones?

Gu Chengyu couldn't laugh or cry at the time, which little girl doesn't like beautiful jewelry, but Erya wants something more affordable.Thinking about it afterwards, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. Is it because I am afraid of poverty?
Sanya and Siya are two pairs of red gold earrings.After buying the nieces, he started to choose the ones for his mother and second sister.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu had chosen so many, the guy on the side was a little bit upset.So much is a lot of money!Can such a small baby really afford it?
"Huh? Show me that bead flower?" Gu Chengyu pointed to a hollow peony-shaped red coral bead flower and said to the man.

The man hesitated, and took out Zhuhua with a bitter face.

Gu Chengyu was only looking at Zhuhua, and didn't pay attention to the waiter's hesitation.I am still admiring the ancient jewelry craftsmanship in my heart!It is quite exquisite, and it really is a big shop.Although it is worse than the ones in the space, this place should still belong to the mid-range. Don't forget that he didn't see it in the future. The counter on the right is the high-end area!

He planned to take out the jewelry in the space as a dowry for the daughters of the Gu family when he was able in the future.In fact, he has the ability to earn money, even if he does not use space, he can also buy these luxuries.

"This bead flower is not bad, I want it!" Finally, Gu Chengyu chose another red gold lilac flower hairpin for Mrs. Lu, as for the sister-in-laws!He can only be sorry, he is already eight years old now, let alone buy jewelry for his sisters-in-law.

Before his "Yipinzhai" pastry shop opened, he really earned some money. Although he earned less in the first month, but after the word of mouth came out, it was a lot in the second month. His pastry is not cheap, cheap Some of them cost forty renminbi a catty, and the expensive ones cost five renminbi.Of course, there are many medicinal materials added in it.

He earned more than 100 taels of silver in the first month, and more in the next two months, so he can still afford this bit of jewelry.

"You do the math and see how much money you want!" In fact, he had chosen so many that the shopkeeper beside him had already looked at this side from time to time, but there was someone at the counter over there, and he couldn't leave for the time being.

Only then did Gu Chengyu notice that a few steps away, there was already an extra guy.

Is it because he is afraid that he can't afford the money and is going to take it and run away?hehe!
"The shopkeeper! This young master wants you to settle the score!" The guy let out a sigh of relief when he heard that he wanted to settle the score.

The shopkeeper hurried over and threw the counter over there to the waiter.

The shopkeeper took out an abacus from the counter, "Look! The hollow orchid bead hairpin will give you 22 taels of silver, the gold bracelet is 20 taels, the earrings are two pairs of eight taels, and the bead flower and flower hairpin are 45 taels for you. It’s 95 taels in total!”

The shopkeeper clacked the abacus, and the speed of his hands was so fast that it made people dizzy.Because Gu Chengyu bought all gold jewelry, the price of gold in Dayan Dynasty was one tael of gold and ten taels of silver, so once calculated, it almost cost Gu Chengyu's pastry shop the profit of the first month.Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, it's really expensive!
For the three older girls, these can be used as dowry in the future, and they won't lose their place if they wear them.Two small ones, I will buy them later!
The shopkeeper stared at Gu Chengyu's hand closely, afraid that he would run away in fright after hearing so much money.Unexpectedly, Gu Chengyu calmly took out a bank note from his pocket and patted it on the counter.

The shopkeeper hurriedly held it in his hand and looked at it, yes, this is indeed a real silver ticket!He was a little surprised, this man can't be judged by his appearance!Looking at the unremarkable clothes, who would have thought that this is a fat sheep!

The chubby face of the shopkeeper is almost full of smiles, this is a big customer.Although there are also wives and girls from rich families here to buy jewelry, but the county is so big after all, with just these few big families, how can they come to buy jewelry all day long?
"Wait a minute!" Gu Chengyu saw that the shopkeeper was about to take the banknote and gave him change, but he suddenly stopped the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately looked at him vigilantly. Could it be that he planned not to buy it?
"Shopkeeper, do you open the door to do business, is it a fixed price? You said it was 95 taels, so it's 95 taels?" Gu Chengyu felt extremely uncomfortable if he didn't cut off a piece of silver. It's so expensive?
"Look at what you said, we are all fair-minded, and we never ask random prices. The prices are all unified. But, you see, you bought so much, how about I give you a few taels cheaper?" ? Just treat me as a loss!" said the shopkeeper with a painful face.

Will Gu Chengyu believe it?Of course not, in the end it was five taels cheaper, and five silk flowers were set up. This time the shopkeeper really felt sorry for it.While putting the jewelry in the jewelry box, he kept yelling that it was a loss!loss!
"Huh? It's really Junior Brother Gu?"
