Chapter 11
"Yes, yes." The boss nodded hurriedly: "This street is close to the wharf, so every inch of land is expensive. Most of the shops on this street sell antiques, gold, jade, and fabrics. If it is not for the huge profits, they cannot stand. Like me There is only one comb shop like this."

It seems that the boss was really confused by the boy's words, otherwise how could he say "big profit".

Gu Chongyang shook his head amusedly.

After the boss finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly explained: "My small shop is not as profitable as theirs, so I can only sell the quantity. More than half of the comb shops in Beizhili buy from me."

The boss was very embarrassed, so Gu Chongyang returned his attention to the comb: "Is there only this one color?"

Seeing Gu Chongyang asking this question, the boss didn't say anything to the woman and maid behind him, and immediately knew that the lady in front of him was capable of buying it.In addition to the fact that she rescued him just now, the boss felt that the little girl in front of him was really considerate, and the smile on his face immediately became a little bit: "There are other suits, I will show them to the young lady."

"No need." Gu Chongyang said lightly: "Just tell me what other suits you have."

On the contrary, the boss was not sure whether Gu Chongyang really wanted to buy it, but he still smiled and said: "In addition to the four beauties who are sinking fish and wild goose, and the moon is shameful, there are also the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, spring flowers, autumn moon, summer wind, winter snow. Landscapes of the four seasons, pictures of the twelve zodiac signs, a hundred birds facing the phoenix, peacocks and peonies, a total of six colors."

"Because the workmanship is exquisite and the price is expensive, so the small shop only buys one set of each color. I don't know which color do you like more, miss?"

"I want all these six sets." Gu Chongyang said, "You can pack them for me."

The owner of the comb shop was stunned for a moment, and then an ecstatic expression appeared on his face: "Okay, miss, you really have a unique vision. This comb is very decent whether you use it yourself or give it to others. I will wrap it up for you, miss Wait a minute, sit down for a while."

As he spoke, he shouted loudly to the waiter in the shop again: "Pour tea quickly, pour tea quickly."

The color of joy is beyond words.

Lu Wu and Qing Zhi couldn't help but click their tongues: "Miss, you seem to have bought too many combs, how can you use up all these combs?"

Nanny Wu already understood, she said with a smile: "Miss must have bought it back for the other ladies."

While talking, he paid the boss for the comb.

Lvwu and Qingzhi suddenly realized.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help smiling when he saw that Nanny Wu understood her plan.

When the boss saw Yinzi, he was even more delighted. While he was full of praise for Gu Chongyang's eyes, he personally packed the combs one by one.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and three people walked in from the outside.

The leader is a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He is gorgeously dressed, has exquisite eyebrows, fair skin and is very beautiful.

It's just that a pair of brows were tightly knit together, showing his irritability at the moment.

Behind him were two young men in their twenties, both wearing dark blue muslin arrow-sleeved shirts, dressed like a Lianjiazi.Although these two people are tall and burly, they all have a look of helplessness on their faces.

It seems that it should be the young son of a high-ranking and wealthy family following him on the trip.

The boy walked in without saying a word, and went straight to the boss. Seeing many exquisite boxes on the counter, he opened them.

"Huh!" Seeing the comb, the young man couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and there was a bit of joy on his face.

It seemed that he was as satisfied with the comb as he was himself.

Gu Chongyang thought that he would tell the boss that he wanted to buy this set of combs, but he didn't expect that he didn't say anything at all, but just closed the box, picked it up and left, just like taking something from his own home.

Gu Chongyang stared at this rude young man dumbfounded.

But the boss had already grabbed him and snapped: "What are you doing? In broad daylight, you want to steal something?"

"Steal?" The young man glanced at the boss, and said mockingly, "It's just your crap, it's not worth it for me to steal it at all? If it's not that I can't buy better ones, you just give it to me, and I don't want to steal it." I won’t take a look. The young master bought your comb because your ancestors did good deeds. Zhang San, pay the bill!”

"Yes, sir!" A follower behind him immediately stood up and took out a handful of gold leaves from his pocket.

The boy had already freed himself from the boss's hand, took the comb box, and strode out.

Nanny Wu couldn't help being anxious, they paid for the comb, how could they ask someone else to take it away.

Gu Chongyang didn't speak, just looked at the boss while drinking tea leisurely.

When this boy first came in, Gu Chongyang guessed whether he might be the one who commented on the boss's small shop and dirty curtains at the door just now.As soon as he opened his mouth, Gu Chongyang knew that his guess was right.

This matter has nothing to do with her, she just needs to sit and drink tea and watch a show, and the boss will ask for the comb back.

Sure enough, the boss yelled: "Boy! Stop! You think you are great with two stinky coins. Our shop is too small and the curtains are too broken. I can't afford your big Buddha. I don't want your money." , leave me the comb."

The boy turned his head in response, his beautiful eyes widened, as if he had heard a big joke, he pointed at the boss and asked, "What did you call me?"

Without waiting for the boss to answer, he mocked again: "Talking to the young master like this, you are considered a character!"

He turned back, stood in front of the boss, and said meaningfully: "Are you sure you don't want to sell it to me?"

His tone showed that he was in a bad mood at the moment.As he spoke, a fierce air naturally appeared on his body, giving people the feeling that he was very difficult to get along with, and if he offended him, the end would be very bad.

The two entourages beside him also took a step forward, which made people feel that these people were not just for nothing.

Where is this shopping?It's clearly a robbery!
It's fine to rob, and before you rob, you will demote other people's stores to nothing, as if I value your virtue by robbing you.

Seeing the boss's flushed face, Gu Chongyang couldn't help cursing, if he were the boss, he would be very angry.

Before her rebirth, Gu Chongyang was either in the back house of the He family in the Marquis of Yan'en's mansion, or in the farm in Liangxiang. She had limited contact with people, and even fewer things she had seen.

She came out for a trip today, and when she encountered this kind of situation, she watched it with great interest.

This boy is the kind of bully mentioned in the play, and the boss is a merchant who is not afraid of power.

Gu Chongyang really wanted to know how the story would continue, would the boss rise up and teach the young man a righteous lesson?

Will young people leave the scene in a hurry with guilt on their faces, or will they mess around and show their status as parents and elders to overwhelm others?

She watched the two with interest.

"Master, it's not that the store doesn't want to sell combs to you, but this comb has already been bought by this young lady." The boss laughed with flattery and humility.

Gu Chongyang was shocked!
He didn't expect that the boss's aura would suddenly drop, and the title would change from "boy" to "son", and what's more, he didn't expect that the boss would actually cause trouble and kick the ball to himself.

The young man was taken aback when he heard the words, only then did he realize that Gu Chongyang and his party were still in the room.

He turned his head and glanced at Gu Chongyang, his impatient expression slowly faded and became even more displeased, he glared at Gu Chongyang with hatred, very childish!

It's inexplicable!I didn't offend him, why did he stare at himself like this?Even if she bought what he wanted, she came first.

This young man is gentle and beautiful, how can he be so poor?
The boy said to the boss: "In that case, then I'll buy something else."

The boss smiled and said, "Master, all of these were bought by this young lady."

Hearing this, the young man was not discouraged, but scratched his head, and then reluctantly walked in front of Gu Chongyang.

"Hey!" The young man spoke in a very arrogant manner: "This comb is yours, you sell it to me."

Gu Chongyang saw a delicate and small waist knife pinned to the young man's waist.

She couldn't help being taken aback.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, apart from the servants, the only ones who could wear knives were the children of honorable families.Not everyone is qualified to wield a sword even if they are the sons of a noble family. Only those who have won the ranking in Qiuwei or are members of the holy family Youlong can wield a sword.

In his previous life, He Runnian had never participated in the Qiu Siege. He had studied literature since he was a child, and felt that those who participated in the Qiu Sai were reckless.

The boy in front of him is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he already has a knife.Either he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, or he often walks around the court and is deeply loved by the emperor, but whether it is the former or the latter, she is not something she can afford to offend.

Gu Chongyang decided to avoid the edge, anyway, there are six sets of combs, so if you give him one set, you still have five sets left to give away.

Gu Chongyang lowered his head, as gentle as a real teenage girl: "Okay, sir, please go ahead."

The young man snorted coldly, saying whether he was mocking or belittling, threw two gold leaves to Nanny Wu, and said, "Let's go."

The boss also heaved a sigh of relief after seeing off the bully.

He handed all the wrapped combs to Nanny Wu, and then joked: "Miss, you just bought this set of combs and sold them at twice the price in no time at all. You are so lucky today."

However, Qingzhi looked down on the boss's behavior very much, she snorted and scolded: "Profitable businessman!"

The boss looked up in astonishment, his face flushed with shame: "Miss, the shop is too small, I really can't afford to offend that customer just now, his status is small, the shop can't afford to offend..."

The boss also saw the boy wielding a knife, no wonder his attitude changed so much.
