Chapter 55: The Gift

"Thirty-five taels of guqin, fifteen taels of piano table, sixty-six taels of purple bamboo flute, five hundred taels of red silk stone inkstone, a total of six hundred and sixteen taels of silver, the odd head is wiped for you, you can give me six hundred and ten taels!"

Shopkeeper Wen said to Zhuang Zihao according to the abacus.

"Give!"

Zhuang Zihao took the silver ticket to the shopkeeper, looked at the piano table and guqin on the ground, and thought about it.

"Shopkeeper Wen, I'll put this thing here for you first, can I move it later?"

looked at the shopkeeper and said.

"Okay, I'll move it to the backyard for you, and you can get it then!"

"Then thank you for the shopkeeper!"

"Then I'll come back later!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Zhuang Zihao exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper and left.

Thinking about giving a gift to a woman, the best thing is jewelry, and rouge gouache, but this rouge gouache is okay, I heard that it's not good to wipe too much, so it's better to buy jewelry!

Zhuang Zihao thought about it and walked towards Jubaozhai.

"You're inside please!"

Now the young man at the door looked at the young Zhuang Zihao dressed in satin clothes and said enthusiastically.

He looks like a rich man in this outfit!

"Guest, what do you need?"

Because it's still early, this Jubao Zhai is now such a customer as Zhuang Zihao.

"Show me the exquisitely made hairpins, jewelry, and get it up!"

Zhuang Zihao shouted with a rich face.

The guy in charge of Zhuang Zihao listened, his eyes lit up, this is a big customer!

I was also very happy in my heart, because they all have a commission, and the more customers buy, the more silver they get!

But he didn't take out the things that were too valuable, so he could only go to the shopkeeper and say.

"Shopkeeper, that kid doesn't look bad for money, let's take out the new batch of good goods and show him it!"

The young man leaned over to the shopkeeper and whispered.

"But, you take him up to the wing room on the second floor, the tea is ready, I'll bring the things later!"

I saw that the shopkeeper pondered for a while, looked at Zhuang Zihao again, nodded and said.

"Okay, shopkeeper, don't worry!"

After speaking, he walked towards Zhuang Zihao.

"Guest officer, please upstairs, our shopkeeper will bring you things in a moment!"

The guy said politely to Zhuang Zihao.

"Let's go!"

With the young man up to the second floor.

After waiting in the box for a while, the shopkeeper brought up the things with a few men.

"Guest, our best goods are here!"

On the table in front of Zhuang Zihao, who placed the things one by one.

There are a total of 20 hairpins, all of which are gold, silver and jade, and there are 12 pairs of bracelets, of which there are three kinds, divided into gold, silver and jade.

"What kind of wooden hairpin is this, it looks pretty good!"

Zhuang Zihao took the wooden hairpin and smelled it, it smelled good!

"The guest officer has a good eye, the hairpin in your hand is made of soothing wood, and we only have this one in the store now, and I don't know when I will go to the next one!"

The shopkeeper looked at Zhuang Zihao with appreciation.

This wooden hairpin is the most valuable of these hairpins, but don't look at it is only made of wood, this soothing wood is rare, and the hairpin is even more rare!

Zhuang Zihao nodded, put the wooden hairpin in his hand aside, and selected a few hairpins according to his vision.

For his mother, he chose a floating hosta with carved peonies, the eldest sister is a butterfly golden hairpin, the second sister is a magnolia hollow silver hairpin, and the third sister is a peach blossom hollow silver hairpin.

Put the five hairpins aside, and then look at the bracelet.

Far away, two pairs of jade bracelets are for the eldest sister and mother, the second sister's choice is a pair of gold bracelets, and the third sister's is a silver bracelet.

The eldest sister has reached the age of looking at each other, and the jewelry and everything have to be prepared, but the second sister and the third sister don't have to worry.

So in the jewelry I bought, the eldest sister's will be more expensive!

"Shopkeeper, that's all, help me pack things and count the silver!"

Zhuang Zihao looked at the jewelry he chose with satisfaction.

"Okay, guest officer, please downstairs!"

motioned to the guy to put away the jewelry, and took Zhuang Zihao to the counter downstairs.

Crackling with an abacus.

While calculating, he read it to Zhuang Zihao.

"Guest officer, a total of one thousand two hundred taels, the fraction has been wiped for you!"

The shopkeeper looked at Zhuang Zihao with a smile.

Zhuang Zihao didn't say anything to the shopkeeper, took a stack of silver tickets out, and counted 1,200 taels to the shopkeeper.

"Are things packed?"

Zhuang Zihao stared at the shopkeeper and asked.

"You wait a moment, and you'll be fine right away!"

"Shopkeeper, things are wrapped!"

The guy ran over with a mahogany box.

"Give it to the guests!"

"Yes!"

The wooden box was given to Zhuang Zihao.

"Guest, your stuff is inside!"

Because Zhuang Zihao bought a lot at one time, the young man divided each of the hairpin bracelets into small boxes and packed them, but in the end, he saw that there were too many small boxes, and the guests were not easy to take, so he found a mahogany handbox and packed everything inside.

"Hmm!"

Zhuang Zihao took the things and left, he still had to go to Wangjiang Tower, his father's gift hadn't landed yet?

He's better to buy drinks, and he's buying a roast duck.

"Brother Xiaoqu, bring me two jars of small twenty-year-old daughter Hong, packing a roast duck!"

Walking into Wangjiang Tower, he looked at Brother Qu who was talking to the shopkeeper and shouted.

"Oh, it's Zihao, why are you alone today, Mr. Zhuang?"

"Brother Xiaoqu, don't ask so much, hurry up and get me something, I dare to have time!"

"Oh yes, two pastries!"

The third sister loves to eat this, so she has to buy some for her.

"Okay, you wait, I'll pack it for you right away."

"Shopkeeper, let's settle the bill first!"

Walked to the shopkeeper and took a silver ticket of one white tael to the shopkeeper.

He knew that his daughter was not cheap.

"Here, it's your surplus!"

The shopkeeper gave the money to Zhuang Zihao.

I took the money, found a table where no one was there, sat on the bench and waited.

"Here's what you want!"

Brother Xiaoqu put the wine and packaged food on the table where Zhuang Zihao was sitting.

"Thank you Brother Xiaoqu, I have already paid the silver, then I will leave first!"

looked at Brother Xiaoqu, who was about to pull him to talk about it again, and said.

"Then you go, be careful on the road......!"

Zhuang Zihao hurriedly walked out, he really couldn't stand him!

This stuff is now bought!

I rented a carriage, went to the shopkeeper to transport the things back to the store, and let the carriage go.

I put the piano table in the store first, and carried my things into the backyard.

"Second brother, are you up?"

looked at the second brother sitting at the stone table drinking tea.

"Well, where have you been, with all this big bag?"

looked at his brother's dress suspiciously.

"Oh, I got up early today, I went to have some breakfast and came back, and I saw that you hadn't gotten up yet, and you didn't get up after waiting for a long time, so I went out to buy gifts for my father and sister."

"That's it!"

"What have you bought here, there is wine and food, well, that's Jubao Zhai's jewelry box."

"Yes, it's a jewelry box, I bought some jewelry for my mother, especially the eldest sister, who is looking at each other, I can't prepare something good for my younger brother early."

"Huh!"

Zhuang Zijie is full of black lines!

"I've got something out there!"

"And? What is it? ”

"The guqin and piano table I bought for Yun Wei, this thing is big, so I didn't move in."

Zhuang Zijie looked at his younger brother curiously.

"Why did you remember to buy this for the third sister?"

Zhuang Zihao scratched his head embarrassedly and explained.

"The last time Yun Wei and I went to the Scholar Pavilion to buy rice paper, I saw her staring at the guqin for a long time, and she was still very reluctant to leave, I thought she must like it."

"You've got a heart!"

Zhuang Zijie listened to what his younger brother said and smiled.
