Chapter 21 How to get 10 taels

It was already dark when we returned to Gusu.

Gusu in April always gives people a special kind of tenderness. When a group of people entered the house, the garden that had been silent for a long time suddenly became lively.

Gu Mingzhu went to see Gu Ruyan, talked about Xiangbei, and finally asked, "Daddy is going to Jiangling, is there anything interesting?"

Gu Ruyan said: "I'm here for business, not for fun, so I don't care about inquiring about interesting things. I'm going to Jiangling, but I went to Yun's house. Your marriage date with Yun Zhao should also be fixed."

While talking, Gu Ruyan paid attention to Gu Mingzhu's expression, and saw that she was expressionless, and continued: "It will be the fourteenth day of July this year."

Gu Mingzhu smiled softly: "It's up to Dad to make the decision."

She looked very shy like her daughter's family.

The worries in Gu Ruyan's heart were dispelled, and his mood suddenly became smoother: "My fiftieth birthday is two days away, Yun Zhao is here, your brother is already on his way home, Rong'er hasn't returned for more than half a year, your mother is talking about him every day. .”

"Daddy..." Gu Mingzhu hesitated, "I want to inquire about something."

"What's the matter? Come and listen."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Some time ago, I heard that the Song family and the Qi family were going to get married. Does dad know why?"

Gu Ruyan said: "It's not really a secret. It's Song Zhizhou's younger sister, Song Qiu. Something happened in the family and they needed 10 taels of silver. The Qi family used their daughter's marriage as an exchange with the Song family. The two families have made an agreement, and when Song Zixi returns from Jiangling, the two families will sit down and discuss it."

Song Qiu...

Gu Mingzhu had heard that she was Song Zhizhou's direct younger sister who married into Wanpingqiu's family.

Gu Mingzhu said in surprise: "Daddy, isn't the Qi family afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"Joke? Silly girl, Song Zixi looks like a dragon and a phoenix at first glance. He has a bright future. The Qi family is gambling, and they won the bet. This time, Song Zixi's high school visits Hualang in Chunwei, and the two families get married. It’s different than it used to be.”

"Then is there any way to make the Song and Qi families not get married?"

Gu Ruyan was puzzled: "What kind of words are these?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Since Song Zixi's future is limitless, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Gu family if we make friends with him?"

Gu Ruyan said solemnly: "Mingzhu, don't talk nonsense, the marriage between the Song and Qi families is a certainty, if you obstruct it, not only will the Qi family hold grudges, but the Gu family will also be criticized."

Gu Mingzhu stuck out her tongue, pretending to be joking: "Daddy, I just said it casually."

Once out of the study door, Gu Mingzhu couldn't laugh anymore.

If you want to take Song Zixi for your own use, you need to take out 10 taels of silver, 10 taels!

Where did she get so much money?Want it from home?Even if it is possible to come, it is necessary to make it known to everyone.

It wasn't her intention.

Gu Mingzhu turned her head, and soon went to Ning Qing to cry poorly.

"Mother..." Gu Mingzhu acted coquettishly: "Just help me, I just saw something and wanted to buy it. I spent a lot of money going to Xiangbei during this period, mother..."

The little girl's voice was soft, and Ning Qing's heart was full of tears when she called her mother: "Okay, okay, tell me, how much do you want?"

Gu Mingzhu joyfully stretched out five fingers.

"500 taels?" Ning Qing asked.

Gu Mingzhu shook her head.

Ning Qing frowned: "5000 taels? What kind of things do you need so much money for?"

5000 taels is half a month's income for a restaurant.

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips.

Ning Qing was surprised and said, "5 taels?"

Gu Mingzhu was really helpless, and said bravely: "Mother... I just need it urgently..."

Ning Qing lowered her face: "What urgent need can I use 5 taels? Looking at the whole of Gusu, the merchants who can take out 5 taels of silver can be counted on one finger. Be honest! What happened? "

Gu Mingzhu knew it was not easy to fool her, she made up her mind, so she bit her lip and didn't say anything, looking very aggrieved.

Ning Qing couldn't see her being so wronged, she couldn't help but soften her face: "You girl, tell me what happened, you are so worried about my mother!"

Gu Mingzhu's heart seemed to have been stabbed by a sharp knife once, and it hurt a lot.

Now she is so worried just because of her grievances, how much her mother should have worried about her in the days when she lost contact with letters in her previous life...

Gu Mingzhu hugged her, calling mother in a soft voice.

Ning Qing sighed in her heart: "You, you..."

After such an interruption, Gu Mingzhu didn't mention the 5 taels. Early the next morning, before she woke up, Chun'er knocked on the door and said, "Miss, Madam is here."

As soon as the words fell, she was pushed away, and Ning Qing walked in.

As soon as Gu Mingzhu woke up, she called her mother, and Ning Qing took out the bank note: "This is the 5 taels you want."

Gu Mingzhu lost all sleepiness in an instant, sat up straight, walked to the table and saw that it was indeed 5 taels of silver.

Ning Qing frowned: "Shoes, shoes... put on your shoes."

Holding the banknotes, Gu Mingzhu was overjoyed, and hugging Ning Qing was showing her heart: "As expected, mother is the best to me."

"Okay, okay, there are no rules." Ning Qing feigned anger: "The day after tomorrow will be your father's fiftieth birthday, and I will go out to buy, so you should stay at home."

How could Gu Mingzhu be peaceful, almost as soon as Ning Qing went out on her front foot, she would disguise herself and go to Yipin Pavilion on her back foot.

Yipinge is the largest pawn shop in Gusu City. It is not suitable to say that it is a pawn shop, because the items collected by Yipinge will not be discounted directly for you, but will be priced in the form of selling. Draw an appropriate fee from it.

Gu Mingzhu was wearing a man's blue shirt, with a high ponytail, and under the guidance of the servant, he soon met the owner of Yipin Pavilion, Xu Ming'an.

Xu Ming'an saw that although Gu Mingzhu was immature, but she had an extraordinary bearing, he didn't dare to underestimate him, and said with a smile on his face, "Young master, but you want to see the landlord by name?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "I have something here, the landlord will take a look."

Gu Mingzhu handed over the wooden box.

Xu Ming'an was a little surprised that she was so straightforward, took the wooden box with a smile, opened it, and then the smile disappeared.

Xu Ming'an raised his head suddenly: "Three-eyed green pupil snake gall?"

"The landlord knows the goods." Gu Mingzhu said with a smile.

Xu Ming'an stared at Gu Mingzhu: "When will the young master want it?"

"The sooner the better."

Xu Ming'an thought for a while, and quickly said: "Young master, how will tomorrow be? I want to release the news first, such a rare thing, someone must be looking for it."

"Then tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, the Yipin Pavilion will be waiting for the young master."

After sending Gu Mingzhu away, Xu Ming'an immediately ordered someone to spread the news, and a young servant asked in puzzlement, "Master, is this snake gall worth such a big fuss?"

Xu Ming'an's eyes shone brightly: "Three-eyed, green-eyed snake guts can detoxify hundreds of poisons! Who wouldn't want to own such a treasure? If it appears in Yipin Pavilion, if this order is completed, Yipin Pavilion will become famous!"

Xu Ming'an didn't care about guessing Gu Mingzhu's identity, so he hurried upstairs and personally drafted posts and sent them to each family.
