The farmer has a mall

Chapter 51
Jinyu Manlou is the most famous silver building in the town, and it is filled with the most fashionable styles in the capital.

It was the first time for Mrs. Liu to come to this kind of place. Aunt Cui picked up a pair of gold silk earrings and compared them to her face.

"I think this pair is fine, and there is a circle of rich and noble tweed engraved on it, which has a good meaning."

But Bai didn't like it. What she got was a pair of lilac earrings with emeralds the size of her little finger inlaid in the middle.

"The earrings are gaudy. Aunt Liu is prone to scratches during work. This pair of stud earrings is better. It looks grand."

"Wearing stud earrings is boring, but earrings can make people look more agile. We didn't have this style when we were in Beijing. It must be a new one. What do you think, Mrs. Liu?"

As the emperor's favorite concubine, Aunt Cui has a lot of research on jewelry, and she doesn't like Bai's old-fashioned pair of earrings.

Although Mrs. Liu is old, a woman's love for beauty will never grow old, and she thinks both pairs look good.

So he looked down at the price, but almost didn't come up in one breath.

Hey, that pair of earrings is so small that it costs 100 taels of silver, and the pair in Aunt Cui's hand is a total of 150 taels!

Liu smirked twice, and pushed away the hands that were close to her ears.

"The old lady is too old to wear this. I think this plain one is good."

She pointed to a pair of earrings on the silver counter nearby.

There were no flowers on that pair of earrings, just a very ordinary circle, only selling for seven taels of silver.

Aunt Cui was speechless, this is not as good as Bai's couple.

The three argued endlessly and couldn't agree on their opinions. Finally, they all looked at the person sitting in the reception chair.

Gu Nanyan: "..."

How about squeezing three pairs into one?
All three of them must have liked it.

She strolled to the counter and turned around, pointing to the things inside for the clerk to take out.

Those are also a pair of rings, but they are made of gold, and there are no carvings on them.

"This pair is not bad, and it's similar to the one Grandma chose."

Moreover, she is also big and looks heavy, Gu Nanyan is very satisfied with her vision.

Both Aunt Cui and Bai looked at her speechlessly.

Nan Yatou is good at everything, but her eyesight is not very good.

Are you holding earrings?That's a bracelet!

If Mrs. Liu wears this thing, can't she pull her ears off? !

The three rolled their eyes at Gu Nanyan in unison.

Recalling that when they first entered the store, they originally thought that Gu Nanyan would be fifteen after the new year, so they could talk about kissing.

Buy a piece of jewelry and dress up beautifully, so that the matchmaker can tell you a good family.

Aunt Cui thought that at the age of 15, it would be a gift and it would be more appropriate to buy a hairpin, so she chose one for her.

Who knew that Gu Nanyan curled her lips in disgust: "If you don't wear this thing on your waist, don't put a kitchen knife on your waist. If you encounter a thick-skinned one, you won't even be able to pierce the oily skin."

Aunt Cui: "..."

Seeing the embarrassment in the atmosphere, Mrs. Bai hurriedly smoothed things over: "Nan Yan, let's take a look at this pair of bracelets. The flower vines on it are carved like real ones."

Gu Nanyan took a look and frowned.

"The craftsmanship is pretty good. It would be great if we could add something."

Seeing that she likes it, Bai breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips and smiled: "This store can change the style according to the customer's requirements. What Nanyan wants to add to it, I will ask the shopkeeper for you."

Gu Nanyan said "Yes": "Then add a chain between the two bracelets."

This bracelet is very beautifully carved, and it is also very good to make handcuffs for collection.

Bai:? ? ?
Gu Nanyan's voice was so loud that all the customers in the store heard it and all looked at her.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu was afraid of embarrassing her granddaughter, so she quickly laughed dryly: "You girl likes to joke, so forget it if you don't like it, grandma looks at this necklace is pretty good, why don't you try it?"

Gu Nanyan looked at the necklace with the red jade embedded in Liu's hand, and nodded.

"It's pretty, but it's too thin, and it's easy to break when you strangle someone."

Everyone: "..."

Is this girl here to buy jewelry or pick out instruments of torture? Why does she sound so creepy!
Imagine the appearance of the granddaughter going out wearing a torture device.

Liu: "..."

Forget it, the granddaughter looks good without wearing anything.

Gu Nanyan finally bought the pair of bracelets she picked for Mrs. Liu.

There are also gold silk earrings and clove earrings, which she also bought for Aunt Cui and Bai.

The shopkeeper sent them out the door in cold sweat.

If this girl stays in the store for a while, he will suspect that what he opened is actually a torture hall!
Aunt Cui was happily wearing earrings and strolling on the street with Zhao'er in her arms.

This was given to her by Nanyan. She felt that the gold and silver jewelry that the emperor bestowed in the past was a waste compared to this pair.

Bai Shi was also very happy, unexpectedly, Gu Nanyan also gave her a pair.

In the group, only Mrs. Liu was so distressed.

But she still treasured the bracelet on her wrist.

She decided that tomorrow she would go door to door and let those gossiping villagers see how filial her granddaughter is and what a good child she is.

Shopkeeper Wu prepared two large carts of New Year's goods for Gu Nanyan, so they just bought some rice and went back.

There are a lot of goods for the New Year, including sausage and bacon, as well as abalone and shark's fin, and of course they are all dry goods.

Mrs. Liu didn't know abalone, but there were too many of these two carts, and she didn't know how to return the gift.

Gu Nanyan didn't care, she knew that the things were actually given by Li Yi.

Shopkeeper Wu said that Li Yi liked the wine last time, she had already prepared a few jars and put them in the space. It happened that the two drivers were going back to Fumanlou, so she asked them to bring them back to Shopkeeper Wu.

Mrs. Liu was a little worried when she saw the yard full of New Year's goods. There were so many things, they couldn't finish them in a year.

Then he discussed with Gu Nanyan and picked out some common bacon and fungus, thinking of giving some to Liu Cheng tomorrow.

Liu Cheng's family is having a good time recently. Although they are a little tired from grinding tofu, they feel that this day is the best.

Liu Lei pushed the tofu cart through the streets and alleys every morning, and he could still earn a hundred and eighty cash. Calculated in this way, he could save several taels of silver in a month.

The wrinkles on Liu Cheng's face stretched out. He was very grateful to Gu Nanyan, so when he saw her and Liu Shi, he warmly welcomed them into the house.

"It's such a cold day, sister, why are you here?"

Seeing her younger brother smiling all over his face, Mrs. Liu couldn't help grinning as she hadn't seen him so happy for several years.

"Nanyan and I will send you some New Year's goods, and come to see you by the way."

Mrs. Liu took the water from her younger brother and smiled, "Look at you, the tofu is selling well."

Liu Cheng rubbed his hands together and laughed naively.

It was only then that Gu Nanyan realized that Liu Cheng and Liu Lei were worthy of being father and son, and they both laughed foolishly, they were exactly the same.

"Thanks to Miss Nan, this tofu tastes much better than other people's. Lei'er can sell it out within two hours every day."

"I have saved a lot of money in just a few days, and I can live a comfortable year at least this year."

"If I could earn this amount of money back then, my mother wouldn't be able to..."

Liu Cheng thought of his dead wife with grief on his face.

Gu Nanyan had already told Liu about Mrs. Li last night.

Hearing what his younger brother said at this time, Mrs. Liu hesitated to speak.

"Brother, sister has something to tell you about Mrs. Li, but you have to make sure you don't get excited after hearing it."

My younger brother is also in his fifties, so it's no joke if he gets angry and bloody.

Liu Cheng was startled, Mrs. Li?

The Li family is gone, so what else can happen.

However, since he was a child, he has always listened to Liu Shi's words, seeing her serious expression now, he straightened his expression.

"Sister, just say what you want, I'm not excited."

Liu Shi then told him what Gu Nanyan told her,

Master Qian made his fortune by selling rice grains, and almost all the rice shops in the town belonged to Qian's family.

When he was young, he was not so rich. He married the only daughter of the scholar's family, and he was very prosperous for several years.

It's a pity that his wife has never been pregnant, so she took two concubines in desperation.

Unexpectedly, there was no movement in the two concubines' rooms. Master Qian sensed that something was wrong, so he secretly searched for the doctor, which made him collapse.

The doctor said that his chances of having an heir were very small, and that no matter how many concubines he had, it would be useless.

Frustrated, Master Qian devoted all his energy to his career and saved a large fortune.

He only thought that when he was older, he would adopt a boy from a relative's house, so that he would not end up childless.

Decades have passed like this, until now the Qian Mansion is still the one wife and two concubines.

They didn't complain, and there was no dispute between them, but they got along very well.

Until Li Shi appeared.
