Shen Kuo looked at Gu Jiujiu with a smile, "If we have our own carriage, we can not only use it next time It takes Brother Yan to school, and, Xiao Jiu, you can go wherever you want in this carriage."

"Brother-in-law, can we really buy such a big carriage?" Sister Yuan raised her head and looked at Shen Kuo expectantly. In the little guy's heart, only the carriages can be bought in the market. Those rich shopkeepers never imagined that they could also buy a carriage now.
