Splendid Peasant Girl: The Reborn Husband Asks for a Hug

Chapter 73

It was inconvenient to drive a carriage because there were so many people in the city, and because Chu Ning liked to walk, Fang Shengyu asked Liuzi and Zhuzi to park the carriage in the backyard of the restaurant. The group of people walked, chatted and strolled, which was very pleasant.

As long as Chu Ning doesn't walk so fast, Fang Shengyu is fine. After all, people who have been to the deep mountains can't really walk.

"The shop in front of you with a lot of family members is Yan Kee Foreign Goods Store."

Chu Ning was in high spirits, "Why is their house called a foreign goods store?"

She was a little skeptical, suspecting that the owner of this store was traveling through time, otherwise, how could she have such a name.

"Because most of the contents are shipped from Western countries."

Chu Ning was startled, "Western Country?"

Fang Shengyu smiled and said, "Yes, they are in the west of Great Xia, separated by a piece of sea from us, but a small island country, dare to call themselves the Gao Qiong Kingdom, delusional to let us call him the sky, but in the end they were almost killed by the Emperor Shengzu." After being wiped out, he had no choice but to bow his head and become a minister, willing to be a vassal state of the Great Xia, and then he was given the name Xiyang Kingdom by the Emperor Shengzu."

Chu Ning touched her nose, it turned out that she was thinking too much.

"Subjects, do they pay tribute every year?"

Hearing her question, Fang Shengyu looked at her in surprise, "Naturally, they have to pay tribute, but the imperial court wants to save face, and every time they return a lot of rewards, they don't lose anything."

Chu Ning nodded to express his understanding, "Is this Yan family from the local area?"

She was just a little curious about how a merchant in a small inland county could have contacts with overseas countries.

Fang Shengyu glanced at her again, "The Yan family is a well-known family in the capital, and the Yan family in Linyong County is a commoner branch."

It turned out to be backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade.

While talking, they had already arrived at the door of Yanji Foreign Goods Store. Chu Ning looked at her flat forehead with great interest, but suddenly felt that Fang Shengyu was looking at her with probing eyes.

She immediately realized something, "This word is so beautifully written, it's a pity that I don't know it."

Fang Shengyu looked suspicious, "I really don't know you?"

Chu Ning laughed, "What do you think?"

Of course I don’t know, these are all traditional characters.

Seeing her smile calmly, Fang Shengyu was a little puzzled, "If you can't read, you still know what is Guangfeng Jiyue, and what is Yushu Linfeng?"

When Chu Jing heard this, she also looked over.

In fact, she had a lot of questions hidden in her heart during this time, but she didn't know who to ask, and because Chu Ning was really kind to the sisters, she put those doubts in the deepest part of her heart.

Chu Ning rolled his eyes at Fang Shengyu, "Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs run away? We have a scholar in our family. Isn't it normal to hear a few polite words now and then?"

Fang Shengyu groaned, "Chu Zhengyan, reading is good..."

Thinking of where he was, he didn't say anything later, "Let's go in and have a look."

Chu Ning shrugged indifferently. Under the circumstances at that time, she had to do that, otherwise she and these three poor girls would be sold out.

As for how Chu Dalang will retaliate after he gains power, that is a matter of the future, so there is nothing to worry about now.

Anyway, he can't do anything now, thinking so much about what to do.

Chu Jing lowered her head and thought for a while, followed by Chu Ning and asked in a low voice, "Sister, when did you hear Brother Da Lang read?"

Chu Ning glanced at her, "I haven't heard of it."

"Then how do you know what light and wind that is?"

"Oh, Chu Wanting once showed off in front of me, saying that she would marry a scholar like Chu Dalang, and she said those polite words."

Without guilt, Chu Ning threw the pot on Chu Wanting's head, and excitedly carried Chu Ran into the foreign goods store to see the wonder.

But it's really annoying to be chased after someone who just said something casually.

Chu Ning suffocated, thinking about buying a few more beautiful little things, just to make himself happy.

However, although she had expected that the items in this store were expensive, she did not expect it to be so expensive.

"How much did you say?"

Chu Ning pointed to a set of naive young monks, and asked in surprise, "100 taels of silver? Did I hear correctly?"

Just now she was admiring a string of crystal-clear crystal bracelets, when Chu Ran suddenly pulled her and said with surprise, "Sister, I like that."

It's rare for a little girl to take the initiative to ask for something. Of course, as the eldest sister, she wants to satisfy her, and this set of little monks with different styles looks cute to her, so why hesitate.

As a result, when she asked the price, my good guy, I almost scared her.

The young man had a good attitude, and he didn't despise her because of her ignorant appearance, "This set of little novice monks was made by a master of clay sculpture in Western countries, and it came from a long distance, so the price is higher."

Chu Ning finally confirmed that he heard it right, "It's so expensive."

Just such a set of clay dolls cost 100 taels of silver, so the enamel hand stove Fang Shengyu gave must be more expensive?
Hearing that she said it was expensive, Chu Ran quickly waved his hand, "It's so expensive, I don't want it anymore."

Hearing what she said, Chu Ning was very relieved, this child is really sensible, "However, he is so good..."

"I told you how you do things. You put all the poor and sour goods in, and the room smelled so sour..."

Chu Ning originally bent over to talk to Chu Ran, but after hearing the harsh words, he stood up straight.

She looked at the woman who was speaking, with a pointed melon-shaped face, charming almond-shaped eyes, and curved eyebrows. Well, she looks pretty, but her mouth is too stinky.

Fang Shengyu took a fancy to a piece of black jade before, but he hesitated not to buy it because the price was too high. Now that there is money in it, naturally he took it quickly, just in time to wear it to show off when visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

So after coming in, I went straight to the goal.

At this moment, he was carefully admiring the black jade, when he heard this, he immediately turned his head to look over, and saw Zeng Qian'er squinting at Chu Ning with disdain, and kept talking non-stop, "... You can't go on like this, you can welcome cats and dogs, and those who don't know think that you sell junk here..."

Fang Shengyu was furious, "Zeng Qian'er! What are you, how dare you be rude to my friend!"

Zeng Qianer saw that Chu Ning's sisters were barely dressed but didn't have any accessories, so she knew that their family background was not good, and the sisters all looked disheveled, their hair was yellow and sparse, and they looked like they hadn't eaten enough. The way they look makes them more certain of this point of view. These people are definitely from the countryside, not from the county.

A few people with mud legs from the countryside dared to wander around in the foreign goods store. They thought it was a market, and they didn't know what it meant.

Zeng Qian'er is most annoyed by the poor relatives in her hometown who come to beat the autumn wind, so she even hates all the country people, and whenever she has the opportunity, she wants to step on people's feet. Isn't it because Chu Ning can't even afford a clay doll, so she can't help but sneer up.

But he didn't expect them to be friends with the third young master of the Fang family.

A flash of panic flashed in Zeng Qian'er's eyes, "Fang Shengyu, why are you swearing, I didn't offend you."

"If you bully my friend, you offend me."

Fang Shengyu's expression that you are finished made Zeng Qian'er even more flustered, "I, I just teach my second brother how to do business, why are you bullying others?"
