Tangled

Chapter 93
"Officials, my master is busy and can't come out to meet the guests. He wants me to apologize for everyone. This is what the master asked me to give to you."

Not long after the food was served, the young man came out with a few small boxes, put them on the table and was about to leave.

"The master said that this is not a fun thing, I hope the distinguished guests don't dislike it."

When the people left, Mu Chengze picked up the box and took a look. Inside was a gold ingot, which looked like seven or eight taels.

He opened it for Gu Tingshu and Shen Qiqi to have a look, then closed the lid and put it back.

He sold three ingots of seven or eight taels of gold, and said it was not a good thing. It seems that these families are even richer than he expected.

Shots are the waste of ordinary people for decades, so if you want to put them on him, you may not be so willing.

"Ashu, have you ever heard of such a wealthy businessman as the Zhu family?"

Gu Tingshu shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Ashu is in charge of the news sent from various sources, if the families are really so rich, there is no reason why Ashu would not know about it.

"Perhaps it is a family business passed down from their ancestors. We are here for dinner this time, so we don't care if we don't want to."

After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out why, so Mu Chengze opened his mouth to find a reason for himself. Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, he found that the two people next to him had already started eating.

They all came together, and I didn't know how to call him when I moved my chopsticks, so I didn't talk about martial arts.

After a meal, Shen Qiqi was so full that she could barely walk, holding the small box in her hand, she had to stop after a few steps.

"I heard that the troupe will stay here for three days, cousin, can we leave later?"

"Yes, we don't have anything now, but we have more time. If my cousin wants to read it, then let's go after watching it."

Without waiting for Gu Tingshu to respond, Mu Chengze took the words.

Shen Qiqi looked back at him, then at Gu Tingshu, her clear eyes blinked.

Her half playful and half coquettish appearance is really irresistible.

Gu Tingshu nodded slightly, seeing a smile on her face, holding the jade plaque for a long time, but still couldn't hold back, reached out to touch it.

Shen Qiqi was on the verge of excitement, when she saw his hand stretched out, she subconsciously pressed it against it, and when the warmth came, she took half a step back as if waking up from a dream.

"Well, shall we go back now or go for a walk?"

"Let's go again, and buy two sets of clothes along the way, your clothes should be changed."

The path after the rain was muddy. Although she was walking on the grass next to her, her skirt was inevitably stained with a lot of mud.

I rested against the wall for another night last night, which is really not very clean.

Knowing that her clothes were dirty, Shen Qiqi would still be embarrassed to be told so publicly.

She pressed the back of her hand to her cheek, and waited for the heat on her face to recede before slowly following behind them.

Mu Chengze bought some candied fruit, asked Shen Qiqi to take two, and was just about to put it away when he heard the sound of horseshoes.

He stepped aside, only to see a few black horses running through the market carrying a few bloody people.

Several of them had red ribbons tied around their waists and horses' heads, obviously they were sent off to relatives they met when they entered the city.

The candied fruit in Shen Qiqi's hand fell to the ground before reaching her mouth, she frowned as she looked at the disappearing horses, obviously she also saw the origin of those people.

On the day of marriage, sending the married person back with blood, obviously something happened.

Looking at the small box containing the gold ingot in his hand, Mu Chengze let out a "huh", "It seems that the gold ingot is not easy to hold."

After taking other people's money, I have to go and have a look at it anyway, and ask the family if I don't need to help, otherwise the gold is really hot.

"Ashu, accompany your cousin back to the waiting hall to rest, I'll go and have a look."

Ruthless Gu Tingshu replied, he threw the box into his arms, and walked back while eating candied fruit.

Looking at the background of his departure, Shen Qiqi felt a little worried, "Cousin, nothing will happen, right?"

"will not."

Gu Tingshu was not worried. Although Mu Chengze's martial arts were not as good as his, he was still considered a master. Ordinary people could not beat him.

"Go shopping for clothes first, and then go back after shopping."

When this happened, he didn't even forget about buying clothes, Shen Qiqi really didn't know what to say.

She followed three steps and turned her head. After walking for a short distance, Gu Tingshu stopped and motioned for her to go ahead.

He just followed behind, looking rather covetously, Shen Qiqi was still worried, so she didn't dare to dawdle any longer.

The clothes shops in the city are not big, but they have everything you need, and there are several rows of ready-made clothes.

Shen Qiqi went to the women's clothes, and picked out two clean and unobtrusive ones, but when she came out, she saw that Gu Tingshu had already picked them out.

He was still in the black strong clothes as usual, but Mu Chengze chose two light green light clothes.

Shen Qiqi looked at the red dress hanging in the middle of the showcase, and suddenly wanted to see what he looked like in it.

"Go pick out two more pairs of shoes."

Seeing that she only took the clothes, Gu Tingshu raised his chin towards her, signaling her to go quickly.

The shoes are all dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, which is not very suitable for her.

Gu Tingshu didn't say much, but after checking the hardness of the shoes, he asked people to add an extra layer of insoles.

While he was paying, Shen Qiqi put the gold ingot in the box into her purse, tied it around her waist and held it in her hand.

This ingot of gold was put in, and when added up with her original silver money, it almost weighed two catties, and it was very heavy in her hand.

When he returned to the waiting hall, Mu Chengze hadn't come back yet, but the handyman who used to eat had returned, and now he was delivering tea and water upstairs non-stop.

"The two officials are back. Xiao Er has just brought up the water. It may still be a little hot. You have to wait a while."

The shopkeeper thought they would be good at acrobatics, but he didn't expect them to come back so soon.

He came over and bowed, stretching out his hand to invite them upstairs while talking.

"There happened to be a few adjacent rooms upstairs, and the old man opened them for them. The things in the rooms are all the best."

"Naturally, this price is also slightly more expensive. You two have checked it first. If you are not satisfied, there are other rooms in the hotel."

While speaking, they had already arrived upstairs, and the shopkeeper opened the doors one by one so that they could check one by one.

"No need to change, you go down."

The interior of the house is similar to other waiting halls, but the materials used are much better, no wonder he said hello in advance.

Gu Tingshu entered the middle room and opened the package wrapped with clothes. Seeing Shen Qiqi sitting obediently by the side, he picked up a pink satchel and handed it over.

"Try this."

It's not that Shen Qiqi has never seen this kind of small bag, but she has never used it, so she didn't think about buying one for herself.

Now that he bought it, she put it on her body, put the purse and handkerchief inside, got up and walked around the table, her brows and eyes turned into crescent moons with joy.

"Thank you cousin, this pouch is very convenient."
