Chapter 63 Buying Jewelry

Chapter 63 Buying Jewelry
Papa Gu thinks it is expensive, but Gu Chengyu thinks it is not bad. Calculated in this way, a penny of Dayan Dynasty is equivalent to a dollar in modern times.He has seen pork bought by his mother, it is twelve cents a catty!This is still marinated, and thirteen coins are not too expensive.

Gu Chengyu pulled Papa Gu and squeezed in to the booth with many women in front, guessing that there must be rouge, gouache or jewelry inside.Father Gu was embarrassed to squeeze the powder pile, so he could only watch Gu Chengyu squeeze in, so he had to stay by the side and wait, he didn't understand, why did he like these things?Could it be that he was raised by his mother to behave like a girl?Thinking about it again, Xiaobao usually likes to act like a baby, so Father Gu suddenly felt a little creepy, no way!He has to chat with Jinniang when he goes back, Xiaobao can't go on like this, he doesn't go out all day, and he doesn't play with boys, so what's the matter?It seems that the matter of studying should be carried out as soon as possible. When I arrive at the school, there are all children who study, so it will definitely be corrected.

Gu Chengyu, who was picking up jewelry, didn't know his father's slander. He didn't like these now. He wanted to pick a good-looking jewelry for his mother and second sister. It's not considered rich, it's just a small surplus, buy these Daidai first, and then make some money to make a living at home, so you don't have to spend money so carefully.

The owner of the stall was an older woman. Gu Chengyu listened to her introduce the items on the stall while collecting cash, her hands and feet were quick, and her mouth could even boast the jewelry on the stall like a flower. The children all became gods when they wore her jewelry, and Gu Chengyu really admired it.

"Oh hello! Whose little baby is this? She looks so handsome! Why did you come to this makeup stall? You know how to buy makeup jewelry to coax girls at such a young age?" The stall owner saw Gu Chengyu's fan The tender little baby looks like Yuxue and is cute, so I made a joke.

"Hey, isn't it! This baby looks really good, but did he come with your mother?" The girls and wives around all pursed their lips and smiled, and some of them took the topic of the stall owner's wife straightforwardly and joked.

Gu Chengyu blushed at what the stall owner said, and then looked at the jewelry and makeup on the stall solemnly, "I want to buy jewelry for my mother, and I also want to buy for my sister."

"Ah! This baby is filial. Come on, you can choose, I will give you a cheaper price. But you have to be rich! Do you have money to buy it? If you don't have money, you can be my granddaughter's son-in-law! Hahaha" The stall owner was impressed by Gu Chengyu's filial piety and cleverness, and thought the little baby was extremely cute.

Gu Chengyu was a little speechless, who told him that ancient women were very reserved?He was speechless, he could only look at the stall and choose two easy-to-leave clothes. After a rough glance, he saw that most of the stalls were made of crude silver hairpins and gold hairpins, as well as pearls the size of rice grains. Pearl flowers, gold bracelets, silver bracelets, hairpin rings, etc., and the rouge are all made of coarse porcelain, but the pearl flowers are a bit unique. Gu Chengyu picked up a silver hairpin and put it in his hand. How do you feel about the weight? its not right?If you take a closer look, it seems that the outside is plated with a layer of silver. After looking at the luster of other gold and silver jewelry, you have an idea in your heart. This booth is probably all silver-plated and gold-plated. The real gold and silver are made of Those thin hairpins, it seems that this stall is full of rough jewelry, Gu Chengyu is a little bit despised.

I casually glanced aside, huh?Beside a pile of rouge, a pair of silver shrimp whiskers caught Gu Chengyu's attention. Gu Chengyu wanted to pick up the pair of bracelets, but was held down by a pair of big hands, "You little boy, you fell in love with my shrimp A beard bracelet? It’s really made of pure silver!” The stall owner was a little suspicious that the little boy couldn’t afford it, because the adults in his family were not around, who would carry so much silver with him?Look at the clothes on this little baby's body, it doesn't look like a son of a rich family.

Gu Chengyu knew what the stall owner was suspicious of, of course he had money on him.But even though the money is on him for the time being, I still have to ask my father about it.

"Auntie, how much silver is your bracelet?" The workmanship of this shrimp whisker bracelet is different from the rough jewelry next to it, it looks a little more delicate, it is made of silver wire, it should be real silver wire, not silver-plated.

"My father is over there. I think this bracelet is very suitable for my second sister. The aunt said the number. If it is still affordable, I will pick another hairpin. Do you have any good hairpins? I want to give it to my mother." " Gu Chengyu saw that although the jewelry on the booth was not exquisite, since there were shrimp beard bracelets, maybe the stall owner had better ones, but they just didn't take them out.

"Are you sure you really want to buy it? Where's your father? There must be someone who makes the decision, right? Good hairpins are not cheap!" The stall owner said while taking out a box that looked like it had a box inside. Cloth bag, opened it, there were two silver hairpins inside, Gu Chengyu immediately took a fancy to one of the hollowed-out hairpins, the production was quite exquisite and unique, he thought this silver hairpin should be suitable for his mother.

"How much silver is this hairpin and that bracelet?" Gu Chengyu asked the stall owner, pointing to the silver hairpin.I came out early today, and I was a little hungry, so I bought some food and went back!Big brother must have to wait anxiously.

"This bracelet is three taels of silver, but this hairpin is very expensive! It costs five taels!" The aunt was very happy to see that Gu Chengyu really wanted to buy it, but she was worried that his family would not agree.

"Father, come here quickly." Gu Chengyu yelled towards Father Gu.

"What's the matter?" Papa Gu heard his son calling him, so he walked over here.

The girls and daughters-in-law surrounded by him saw that he really wanted to buy jewelry, so they all gave way.

"What are you doing running here, baby? Come out quickly." Papa Gu walked to the booth in embarrassment.The stall owner sized up Papa Gu, and saw that such a farmer didn't seem like someone who was willing to buy jewelry!
"Father, let's buy a hairpin for mother! I've chosen it all, eight taels of silver." Gu Chengyu quietly put a ten taels of silver ingot in his sleeve.

"What? Eight taels? This is too expensive, isn't it?" Father Gu was taken aback. This kid, if he doesn't look at him for a while, he dares to spend money on his father.

"Father, don't you want to buy a hairpin for mother?" Gu Chengyu squinted at his father, and he couldn't believe that his father would refuse to move out of his mother.

"Buy, buy, of course I have to buy it." Sure enough, when Father Gu heard that he wanted to buy it for Mrs. Lu, he couldn't care less about it.

"Auntie, look, I'll buy two of your expensive ones, can you give me a cheaper one? I'll pick four more bead flowers, and you can give me a cheaper one."

"Oh! This is really not expensive. You also know that I am a small stall, and I can't even sell it for a high price. If you go to the Guangqing Silver Building in front, it will be far more than this price!" The stall owner patted exaggeratedly With her thighs in her mouth, she shouted that her things are the most affordable.
