Chapter 103: Death to save face
"Who do you want to see?" Yang Zheng muttered, isn't Uncle Sai what I want to see. He smiled and said, "Well, yes, going to the capital is to meet the person I want to meet?"
When the eldest lady heard this, her expression darkened a lot, and she stopped talking.
Yang Zheng couldn't help but feel strange when he saw her stop again, and said in his heart: "What's wrong with this girl!" wanted to ask, but seeing that the eldest lady didn't mean to talk to him, he gave up.
The two walked along the street for a while, Yang Zheng came from the later generations, and was very interested in these ancient novelties.
The eldest lady has been running around for the Peng family for many years, and she is bent on her family business, and she has long been accustomed to these things, but she is not very emotionally interested, but she only occasionally glances at it, and her eyes fall more on Yang Zheng's face.
"Here, Miss!" the eldest lady was snickering to herself, and Yang Zheng handed over a string of rock sugar gourds.
The eldest lady looked at the rock sugar gourd, and took it with a red face, and Yang Zheng on the side shouted while eating: "Well, it's delicious!"
Yang Zheng finished eating the rock sugar gourd, and when he saw the eldest lady looking at the rock sugar gourd in a daze, he couldn't help but feel curious, and said, "You're welcome, I'm a treat today, can you eat it?"
The eldest lady snorted: "Who let you have a treat?" After speaking, she opened her red little mouth and took a rock sugar gourd covered with sugar juice into her mouth and chewed it.
Yang Zheng shook his head helplessly, and took out the silver two from his arms: "Uncle, how much is this?"
"One string of three cents, two strings of six cents?"
Yang Zheng touched a ten taels of silver and handed it over: "Uncle, give you money!"
"Ah, I'm sorry for this little brother, this is a small business, it just opened, can't you find this silver?"
Yang Zheng glanced at the uncle, saw that he had a thin face and a ragged clothes, and he looked at a poor family, but after a few glances, he actually remembered his father in later generations, sighed lightly, and said: "The rock sugar gourd that the uncle bought is authentic and delicious, and there is no need to find this silver, and sell more delicious rock sugar gourds in the future!"
The old man was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible, the little brother is willing to eat the old rock sugar gourd, that is the craftsmanship of the old man, how dare the old brother charge more silver taels?"
Yang Zheng saw that he said sincerely, and he was embarrassed to say anything, but he didn't have any loose money in his hands, and eating and drinking for nothing was not his style, and when he was feeling helpless, a white wrist stretched out: "Give, uncle, you give two more strings of rock sugar gourds, here are twelve cents, can you take it?" It turned out to be the voice of the eldest lady.
"Okay!" the old man answered, took the copper coin, and then took out two strings from the straw man of the rock sugar gourd, one string was handed to the eldest lady, and the other was handed to Yang Zheng.
"Little brother, how beautiful is your wife?" the old man muttered quietly as he handed Yang Zheng the rock sugar gourd.
Yang Zheng smiled and said shamelessly: "Of course, this mother-in-law is my choice, can I ask for it?"
"That's, that's!" the old man nodded.
The two of them laughed heartbrokenly, indescribably happy. The eldest lady is not far from the two of them, although the old man's words are small, he can still hear them clearly, and his face suddenly turned red, and when he heard Yang Zheng's words, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly glanced at Yang Zheng, and his pretty face was crimson.
Yang Zheng has a soft spot for this rock sugar gourd, and walked up to the eldest lady one by one, a string of rock sugar gourds was eaten clean by him, and he saw that the rock sugar gourd in the eldest lady's hand only ate one, and the others were pinched in her hands, looking at it in a daze, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
"Well, it's delicious, Miss, why don't you eat it?" Yang Zheng puffed out his cheeks and said vaguely.
"I don't really want to eat?" said the eldest lady with a blushing face and a blank look.
"Don't want to eat or are you reluctant to eat?" Yang Zheng laughed jokingly.
The eldest lady blushed, glanced at him, and said angrily: "I want you to take care of it!" After speaking, he turned around and left, his waist twisted, and his indescribable demeanor was outstanding, causing Yang Zheng to swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
"I obviously want to eat, but I say I don't want to eat, and I want to save face and suffer if I die? Isn't it just to eat a rock sugar gourd, so you can hide from people like this?" Yang Zheng shook his head helplessly and chased after him.
The two walked through the crowd, Yang Zheng saw that there were porcelain all around, silk, literati calligraphy and paintings, and he didn't know what to buy.
The eldest lady pinched two strings of rock sugar gourds and shuttled through the crowd without saying a word.
"Miss, what do you think we should buy?" Yang Zheng tried to ask, and women naturally knew best about gifts, especially these women's birthdays.
The eldest lady didn't say a word, but her eyes were looking for something in the crowd.
"Miss, what are you looking for?" Yang Zheng found the eldest lady looking around.
"Damn, it's not going to be a lover, is it? Ouch, isn't it going to date here, is that Lao Tzu a light bulb?" Yang Zheng felt a burst of regret in his heart.
