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

Chapter 180 Meeting Brother Huang Again

Gu Chengyu heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, he found that it was Senior Brother Huang who wanted to be the host today.

"Senior brother Huang? What a coincidence!" Gu Chengyu was also a little surprised to meet him.

"I looked like Junior Brother Gu just now, but I didn't expect it was really you? Are you buying jewelry for the family members?" In fact, Huang Ming had been watching for a while just now, and the shopkeeper was the one who received him at the beginning. It's just that Gu Chengyu was only focused on picking out jewelry and didn't pay attention.

Huang Ming's counter here only sells ordinary jewelry, while Gu Chengyu's jewelry is a bit expensive, and Huang Ming saw that he bought a lot at once, in fact, he had already expected that Gu Chengyu's family background should be good, otherwise he would not be able to live in Dongsheng Inn no?
Moreover, Gu Chengyu still lived in the upper room. He and Qian Gui were able to live in the Dongsheng Inn because there were no other inns with vacant rooms near the examination room. They had no choice but to choose that one. house.

"Yes! It's hard to come to the county, and I have to bring some jewelry for the family members." Gu Chengyu took the ten taels of silver that the shopkeeper found, and these jewelry boxes.The shopkeeper also purposely wrapped the jewelry boxes together, so that it could not be seen from the outside that there were jewelry inside, but it looked like a gift for a gift.

"Senior brother Huang also bought it for the family members?" Gu Chengyu casually added.

"Junior Brother Gu's family has quite a few sisters!" He looked carefully just now, and Gu Chengyu chose mostly jewelry for unmarried women, as well as pearl flowers and silk flowers worn by cardamom girls, and hairpins for Jiji girls. There must be a lot of babies.

Gu Chengyu is so willing to buy jewelry for the girls of the Gu family, so the Gu family is definitely not short of money.Thinking of this, he had a thought in his mind.

Gu Chengyu felt that it was a bit strange for him to ask these words.They didn't know each other well, wouldn't it be rash for the other party to ask his family's female relatives?So he chose not to answer.

"It's getting late, if Senior Brother Huang chooses again carefully, Junior Brother will take his leave first, and we will start our journey later."

"Brother, do it yourself! I'm just buying a hairpin for my mother." In fact, Huang Ming had already chosen the hairpin. Seeing Gu Chengyu looking at the hairpin in his hand, he intentionally covered it up with his sleeves.

"Then junior brother will be excused!" Gu Chengyu said goodbye to Huang Ming with a smile while carrying his things.

After leaving the shop, he turned his head and glanced at Huang Ming before heading back!The hairpin in Huang Ming's hand was clearly used by a young married woman, so how could it be bought for his mother?But why did Huang Ming lie?

Suddenly, he thought of something, Gu Chengyu glanced at the jewelry box in his hand, smiled, shook his head, and went back to the original road.

Huang Ming in the shop looked at Gu Chengyu who was fading away, and only looked away after seeing that the other party was still buying children's toys at the stall.

"This talented man! Do you still want this hairpin?" The shopkeeper saw that the scholar was holding the hairpin, but he was thinking about something, and he didn't pay any money.

"Oh! How much silver?" Huang Ming looked at the hairpin in his hand. The joy he felt when picking out the hairpin just now was completely gone. At this moment, he only felt that the silver hairpin was extremely dazzling.

"I'll count two taels of silver for you!" The shopkeeper just made a big deal, and he's in a good mood right now!
Huang Ming frowned, "Can't it be cheaper?"

"Hey! This hairpin of yours is not expensive, and it doesn't make much money." The shopkeeper glanced at his mouth. He is a big shop, and he usually doesn't bargain. If you buy more, you can get less. It's only two taels of silver. Things, how can I make a profit?It's not the crude junk on the stalls outside.

"Actually, the one you chose was worn by a young woman who just got married. If you want to buy it for Lingtang, then this one is more suitable." Just now when Gu Chengyu and the others were talking, the shopkeeper was on the side, and only then did they have a suggestion.

Huang Ming looked at the jewelry on one side, and found that the style was a bit old. This kind of jewelry is usually used by elderly women. There are few designs and colors, and most of them are flat and oblong. The head of the hairpin has no carvings or patterns.Hairpins like this are cheaper.

"It's just two taels of silver, wrap it up for me!"

Huang Ming took out two taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took a piece of silk cloth and wrapped the hairpin. There is no jewelry box at the counter here.

Seeing that Huang Ming didn't even have a box, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

When Gu Chengyu returned to the inn with his things, Sun Xian and the others had already returned.

"Brother! What did you buy? Such a big bag?" He Shunian was about to go upstairs when he found that Gu Chengyu had already entered the inn.

"It's all for the nieces at home. Girls like gadgets." The women's jewelry in the Dayan Dynasty also belonged to the woman's boudoir. He is an elder, so it doesn't matter much.But He Shunian is a foreigner, so naturally he can't read it.

"Junior brother is so kind to the nieces at home. I often see you bring things to them." He Shunian felt that Gu Chengyu was a little strange. No matter how rich the Gu family was, they were farmers, and the daughters of farmers, who didn't help the family every day? Live?Just give him something to eat every day, who would have thought that Gu Chengyu would be so kind to his nieces.

What is even more strange is that he is still a baby himself!He Shunian can only classify Gu Chengyu as the kind of person who likes to pity women. Some men are naturally sympathetic to women, and they generally cannot refuse their requests.

He Shunian glanced at Gu Chengyu, maybe the Gu family's food has been good in the past three years, Gu Chengyu has grown a lot taller, the skin exposed on his body is also as white as jade, and the most amazing thing is his pair of peach blossom eyes.It is conceivable that when he grows up in the future, he will also be a suave and suave young man.

It's just that Gu Chengyu is upright, otherwise, those eyes would be enough to smile
He shook his head, interrupting his wild thoughts.

"Senior brother, why are you looking at me? Have you packed your luggage?" Gu Chengyu made He Shunian feel a little uncomfortable, so he walked past He Shunian awkwardly.

"Ah! It's almost there! You guys are going to do this too!" He Shunian came back to his senses and replied.

"Little Treasure! Why did you buy so many things?" Father Gu was resting in the house, when he heard the door opening, he guessed that it was Gu Chengyu who had returned.

"Father! Come back after lunch! We don't need to settle the inn's bill. Shopkeeper Liu has already paid for it. I will find a chance to pay it back in the future."

Gu Chengyu thought about it, if shopkeeper Jiang was asked to return the money, it would be too embarrassing to shopkeeper Liu.Maybe he will come to the county school to study in the future, and he will just go back when he finds a chance.

"You just have to know it in your heart. We can't take advantage of others for nothing. We live here for a few days, and we have a lot of money, right? There is also food money. I'm afraid it will cost tens of taels?"

Gu Lao was talking, but Sun Xian and the others came into the house, and Ye Zhiqiu was with them.

"Brother Gu! We have lived here for a long time, and we don't know how much the rent is. Let's put it all together and pay it!" We are going back soon, and the rent must be paid. Before leaving, I gave the money to the Gu family, so I can't take advantage of them!They asked downstairs just now and said that they had already paid the money, so they came to Gu's house to ask.
