Chapter 274: Peach Fountain (3)
Nanzhou, a not well-known state capital, the place where Taoyuan Xiaoshan Village is located is Nanzhou, Zhao Gu and Xiaojiu went out to shop, so they naturally went to Nanzhou City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under Xiao Jiu's disguise, the two changed their faces, and then rushed to Nanzhou City in a grand manner.
This place is located in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are no soldiers who want to check the household registration and other certificates, so the two of them were able to enter Nanzhou City without any obstacles.
After entering the city, the two first went to Baiwei Restaurant to eat a bowl of hot dry noodles at Xiao Jiu's request, and then booked a noon lunch, and then began to go shopping.
It can be seen that the reputation of Baiwei Restaurant has been so loud that even Xiao Jiu, a little girl who is located in the depths of Taoyuan, knows its name.
Coming to the most prosperous street in Nanzhou City, Xiao Jiu, a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, was immediately attracted by the prosperous scene on the street, as if she had transformed into a loose horse, constantly shuttling in various stores and stalls, wanting to pick up everything she saw and seeing, and wanting to buy it after reading it, and live like a shopping queen.
Zhao Gu only looked at it with a smile on the side, no matter what Xiao Jiu fancied, Zhao Gu would buy it, fortunately, Xiao Jiu was not interested in gold and silver jewelry, she was interested in some snacks and small jewelry pendants, etc., and it didn't cost a few dollars, and Zhao Gu, who still had some dozens of taels of silver in his hand, said that this little money was really nothing.
The two of them went shopping, paid the other, and carried out a great sweep on this street, from one end to the other.
At this time, it was almost time for lunch, so the two took the things they bought, went to Baiwei Restaurant for lunch, and then brought gifts to the villagers, and then prepared to go home.
When he walked to the city gate, Zhao Gu swept his eyes slightly, and noticed that a few pedestrians seemed to have seen them when they came in the morning, and they were hanging around at the city gate at that time, and they had not left yet, and it was estimated that they would not leave in a short time.
Zhao Gu pondered slightly, estimating that nine times out of ten, these people were Zhao Guangyi's eyeliner and were specifically looking for themselves.
Xiao Jiu also noticed Zhao Gu's expression, but she didn't ask more, the two of them went out of the city all the way, and after driving for a while, they returned to the small mountain village.
The gifts in his hand were sent to everyone one by one, and after a while, it was time for dinner, Xiao Jiu and Zhao Gu were together, and naturally arrived at his house on time.
Zhao Gu didn't break it, and made three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a soup with various ingredients bought in the bazaar, and the main food was hand-rolled noodles.
After the meal, Zhao Gu was going to wash the dishes as usual, but Xiao Jiu twisted and snatched his bowl and ran to wash it by himself.
Zhao Gu was puzzled, he didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Jiu, but he didn't ask much, he didn't want to make her angry anymore.
When Xiao Jiu came back from washing the dishes in the yard, the night was getting darker, but Xiao Jiu had no intention of going back, but took out a jade pendant from his sleeve with a flushed face, handed it to Zhao Gu, and said, "Give it to you." ”
Zhao Gu knew at a glance that this jade pendant was the most expensive of all the things that Xiao Jiu bought today, and it cost thirty taels of silver, although Zhao Gu didn't want to buy it at that time, but since he promised to let Xiao Jiu go shopping, he still paid for it, but he didn't expect Xiao Jiu to buy it for himself.
Why did Zhao Gu feel a little incomprehensible to Xiao Jiu's logic?
"What are you?" So, Zhao Gu asked.
"My father said that this is a bride price for a marriage proposal." Xiao Jiu replied with a red face.
What the!
Zhao Gu was directly stunned, Xiao Jiu wants to propose marriage to me? Propose to me with something I bought? She's a woman who wants to propose to a man of mine?
"But I bought this thing, didn't I?" Zhao Gu asked.
"After we get married, isn't yours mine?" Xiao Jiu asked rhetorically.
Zhao Gu nodded: "That's right, but I can't seem to figure out this logic." ”
"Moreover, do you want to recruit me as your son-in-law?" Zhao Gu said again.
Xiao Jiu laughed out loud: "No, no, it's not financial, it's not a dowry, I remember wrong." ”
Zhao Gu was speechless, why did he still bring this, so he said: "In this way, this jade pendant can be regarded as the return of the original owner?" ”
Xiao Jiu glanced at him: "You think beautifully, this is just our family's dowry, you have to give me ten times the bride price!" ”
I'll it! Zhao Gu rolled his eyes directly in his heart, Xiao Jiu, what kind of logic is this, didn't she say that after getting married, mine is yours? Why are you so arrogant when you ask me for a bride price?
Well, these are nothing more than money, and Zhao Gu doesn't care about these either, but who said he was going to marry Xiao Jiu? And how can the man give the dowry before the bride price?
Faced with Zhao Gu's question, Xiao Jiu was so ashamed that he buried his head in his chest, and said hesitantly: "It's my father who said it." ”
Zhao Gu nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to your father." ”
Zhao Gu found the old man directly, but he didn't expect the old man to know that he was coming, and he found a Taoist robe to put on it from nowhere, and was sitting on the futon waiting for him.
"You're not going to cremate yourself too, are you?" As soon as he saw his appearance, Zhao Gu immediately asked.
The old man was so choked by Zhao Gu's words that he almost didn't come up, and coughed several times in a row, only then did he dredge his breath and said, "No." ”
"Okay then, what do you mean by asking Xiao Jiu to give me that jade pendant?" Zhao Gu asked again.
The old man smiled indifferently: "The so-called cause is effect, my father because of the change against the sky for you, miserable jealousy, which led to the fire of heaven and died, so that my family lost its protection, now my family of more than 20 people are old, unable to be self-reliant, only Xiao Jiuyi can support the elderly, but with her temperament, how can she take care of us." ”
"So you want Xiao Jiu to marry me and get my protection?" Zhao Gu asked.
The old man nodded, and Zhao Gu rolled his eyes directly: "Then there is no need to do this, I will directly shelter you." ”
"But it's not very safe, in case ......." The old man laughed twice and didn't continue.
Zhao Gu had already understood what he meant, it was nothing more than wanting Zhao Gu to be his grandson-in-law, as for other reasons, I am afraid they were all excuses he made.
It's just that the old Taoist priest did die after seeing Zhao Gu, and I don't know if he was really burned to death by the heavenly fire, and Zhao Gu couldn't refuse their request for a while.
Although the old Taoist priest's previous actions were quite suspicious, he was indeed dead after all, so it was not that he committed suicide.
Moreover, although Xiao Jiu is a little eccentric, he is not familiar with the world, and he is really cute, if Zhao Gu has no heart for her, he must be lying.
