After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 249 Exotics

When the woman said this, the shopkeeper just came down from upstairs, and his face sank immediately.

But the person beside him hastily leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Shopkeeper, this is the second young lady from the Kong family in the capital."

Shopkeeper Qiu frowned, "Why did people from the Kong family come here?"

"It's not because of the improvement of the saline-alkali land recently. The higher-ups are paying close attention to this matter. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the appointment of the new county magistrate in charge of this matter has a bright future."

He slowed down, and pointed out, "The new county magistrate is not married yet."

Shopkeeper Qiu immediately realized that this was what the Kong family had planned, and he sneered, his tone slightly sarcastic.

"It is said that the Confucian family is a Confucian family with a strict family style, and the children in the family are people who are knowledgeable about books and rituals, but they never thought about it and did it."

The people next to Shopkeeper Qiu didn't speak anymore. The Kong family paid too much attention to reputation, and in recent years, the children in the family had mediocre talents, which caused the Kong family's status in the capital's aristocratic family to decline greatly.

This sudden fall from a high place, the loss of glory, naturally cannot be easily accepted, and the old man of the Kong family passed away two years ago, and the head of the family was replaced by the father of the second young lady of the Kong family.

The uncle of the Kong family is not as noble as the old man of the Kong family, otherwise there would be no such thing as Miss Kong's second lady appearing in Haiyan County.

If you really count, the new county magistrate is twenty-four this year, but the second lady of the Kong family is only seventeen. Uncle Kong's eating looks are really ugly. After all, the Kong family is not without other women of the right age.

Shopkeeper Qiu just talked, but no one answered, so he stopped thinking.

He is not stupid, literati fight fiercely, Changhu Trading Company can be said to be as rich as a country, and it is also an imperial merchant, but it can't get a little favor from ordinary courtiers, let alone it is known as a Confucian family the Kongs.

It is not without reason that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Shopkeeper Qiu quickly sorted out his mentality, and with a decent smile on his face, he went downstairs slowly and walked in front of Mrs. Li.

Shopkeeper Qiu had received Steward Lin's orders in private, so he naturally respected Chen Heyun and his wife.

"What kind of wind brought you here today, Mrs. Chen?"

"Treasurer Qiu."

Mrs. Li said hello with a smile, and behaved gracefully.

Shopkeeper Chou nodded slightly, and his sizing eyes fell on Su Mo behind her. Seeing that he was dressed like this, he was a little rich.

Shopkeeper Qiu's expression didn't change at all, his smile remained the same, "Who is this lady?"

Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said what he had considered for a long time, "This is Mrs. Gu from my village, I am here today, and I am also entrusted by Mrs. Gu.

She wants to find something eye-catching and rare for the little girl at home, and I immediately thought of you when I heard it.

After all, if we want to say which shop in our county has the most good things, it has to belong to the shopkeeper Qiu's Zhenbao Pavilion. "

Shopkeeper Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew the news about Chen Heyun and his wife clearly in his heart, upon hearing this, he immediately guessed Su Mo's identity.

After all, there is only one Mrs. Gu in Luoshan Village, the one who proposed the improvement of saline-alkali land and received the imperial decree.

This is a big celebrity nowadays. He still remembered that Manager Lin bought a batch of watermelons last year, and it is said that he also bought them from Mrs. Gu.

That is to say, from then on, Manager Lin gave them an order to take care of Chen Heyun and his wife more on weekdays.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qiu calmed down, and with a deeper smile on his face, he bowed his hands to Su Mo, "It turned out to be Mrs. Gu, who has admired her name for a long time, but seeing her now, she really deserves her reputation."

Su Mo raised her eyebrows, without showing any doubts on her face, she bowed her hands in return with a smile, "Shopkeeper Qiu, you're being polite."

It looks like a tough one to deal with.

Shopkeeper Qiu silently lifted Su Mo up a few more points in his heart, then raised his hand and invited the two of them to go upstairs.

"I don't know what kind of stuff this Mrs. Gu wants?"

"I heard from my sister-in-law that you have imported products from overseas?"

The three of them went upstairs one after another, and the people who were originally following Shopkeeper Qiu recruited two assistants.

"You go to prepare tea and snacks and send them in. You, call a few more people, go to the place where the imported goods are kept together, and pick some small, eye-catching things that are suitable for children to play with. By the way, don't pick things that are too expensive. .”

After all, their Zhenbao Pavilion is located in the county, so the price is naturally not as high as that in the capital city. The lowest is a few taels of silver, and the highest is only a thousand taels of silver, but this is still a sky-high price for ordinary people.

He remembered that Mrs. Gu only got a thousand taels of silver reward. If she bought items with a unit price of more than one hundred taels, Mrs. Gu had three children, so she couldn't just buy one, but had to choose too many, and it would inevitably be a little embarrassing when paying the bill.

He knew that Mrs. Gu didn't make any money, but even funded a village school, and it can be said that she couldn't make ends meet on weekdays...

The clerk got the order and moved quickly. After a while, he carried the tray with the ship's products that met the requirements, and entered the box accordingly.

Shopkeeper Qiu didn't even look at it. If he had to worry about this kind of thing, then the shopkeeper would really be in vain.

He raised his hand and asked the waiters to bring things to Su Mo in turn, "Madam Gu, take a look, is there anyone you like?"

Su Mo was not too polite, she put down her teacup and looked over, this imported product indeed has quite a lot of strange things, the original owner had never seen it in memory.

But think about it, the original owner's family is in Jinzhou, the industry under the name of the Su family also revolves around Jinzhou, and shipping has only developed in recent years.

It's just that this surprise was only for the people of the Great Yong Dynasty. Su Mo looked at the crystal jewelry and glazed products on the first two trays, glanced at them, and then looked away.

She has seen this thing a lot in her own world, and she said that the crystal bracelet is quite similar to the one yuan bracelet in the small shop next to the school...

Shopkeeper Chou has been observing Su Mo, and seeing that she seems to like unusual women, he raised his eyebrows and gave the rest of the staff a wink.

People don't like this kind of stuff, so there's no need to take the rest.

Soon, the guys changed positions, and what was brought to Su Mo finally caught her eye.

There was actually a kaleidoscope, she picked it up and played with it, feeling that the little girl must like it.

Shopkeeper Qiu saw that she had finally picked up the things, waved her hand, and asked the waiter to bring over an empty tray, and said with a smile, "Madam Gu, just put the things here."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Qiu."

Su Mo nodded slightly, and directly put the kaleidoscope down on the tray.

The guys continued to come to her with trays, Su Mo picked left and right, and picked a small whip made of colored rope for spinning tops.

The handle of the whip is made of wood, inlaid with colorful small stones, and the spinning top is also colorful, all of which are very beautiful.

Choosing something for Gu Xingnian, naturally the two brothers Gu Pingan couldn't be left behind.

The person next to shopkeeper Qiu is smart, and he didn't just let people take things that little girls like. Now, on the tray at the back, there are things that are more suitable for little boys.

It is relatively few. Su Mo took a look and picked out the monocular binoculars directly. The lens is not very good and cannot see too far, but it is still okay for children to play with.

Su Mo never favored one or the other, and directly stated that she wanted two of the same, and then she didn't pick anything.

Shopkeeper Qiu was not disappointed when he saw that Su Mo was not selected.

After all, most of the things from overseas are treasures, spices, medicinal materials, etc. Su Mo doesn't like shiny crystal ornaments and glazed products, so naturally there are few things to choose from.
