Chapter 646: Fighting
If you want to say that she is the future sister-in-law, she is more justified than the lord of Anya, and the two families have changed their gifts. If Xiao Yezi agrees to Anya, does it mean that she can also have a beautiful scarf?
Yuan Haiqing said eagerly: "Sister Ye'er, I want a ...... with sky blue and white."
"I said, are you two mistaken? I only heard of the sister-in-law who didn't pass through the door, and gave the sister-in-law a gift. I haven't heard of a prospective sister-in-law asking for something from my sister-in-law! If you want a scarf, learn to knit it yourself! β
Gu Ye asked Yueyuan to put away the scarf and surprise her mother when she was ready for the New Year. Then he began to make scarves with alternating black and gray stripes, ready to weave a simple and generous diamond-shaped pattern for the two grandfathers.
The three little girls who came later also joined the team to learn how to weave scarves. Fortunately, Chu Er has a lot of sweater needles, and there is still a pair of leftovers for one person. The beginners couldn't do it for two purposes, focusing on the woven scarf, and for a while, the greenhouse became quiet.
Obviously, Shangguan Fei'er, like Yuan Haiqing, has no talent. When she made a mess of the needle and thread again, she threw the needle in anger and shouted, "What? I don't knit anymore!! β
Yuan Haiqing looked at the small scarves in his hands that were not tight, and then looked at Lin Ruohan's smooth stitching next to him, he was a little deflated, and he wanted to pick a child like Sister Shangguan. However, the thought of the "gift" that her fiancΓ© was still waiting for her continued to weave sweetly and painfully.
Among the few little girls, the most talented is Wei Zixuan, who has a good embroidery skill. She learned for less than two quarters of an hour, and then she got started, picking up threads and needles, just like a veteran who has been weaving for a long time. Gu Ye couldn't help but praise her, and taught her to add some small twist weaving methods when weaving, so that the scarf was not so monotonous.
The little girls' fingering skills gradually became proficient, and they were all fascinated by weaving. Even Yuan Haiqing also experienced the fun in it, and knitted with interest with her head down. Gu Ye stretched out his head from time to time and pointed at her for a word or two. In the beginning, she always dropped the needle and kept unweaving and reweaving. Now, although the hand strength is not yet evenly controlled, at least the finished product is a palm-length.
When Liangchen came in and asked, "Girl, Madame asked if you can serve the pot?" β
The Duchess of Zhenguo is a very wise mother. Like some enlightened parents in modern times, children's gatherings are never mixed.
Gu Ye took out a pocket watch decorated with diamonds, looked at the time, and unknowingly knew that it was almost noon, so he ordered the pot to be served.
Shangguan Fei'er was very interested in the pocket watch in her hand, asked for her consent, and played with it carefully in her hand. On the golden case, the fine diamonds sparkle in the sunlight. When I opened the pocket watch, there were three hands of different lengths, the thickest of which pointed straight up, and there was a very strange character there.
"This is the timekeeping tool that came from the West? What's it called? Shangguan Fei'er frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't come up with the name of the pocket watch.
"This one seems to be called a pocket watch." Sun Yinuo, the girl of the Si family, came over to take a look. She once saw a similar one on the third floor of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, with no sparkling gems on it, and it was not as beautiful as Miss Chu's. The price is quite staggering - a small pocket watch actually costs tens of thousands of taels of silver! Miss Chu's one is definitely more valuable than that one!
The little girls put down the knitting needles in their hands, and their attention was attracted by the pocket watch. Gu Ye explained to them how to identify the time of the pocket watch, and the little girls said that with this pocket watch, it would be more accurate to see the time. A quarter of an hour can be divided into fifteen minutes, and each minute can be divided into sixty moments......
Shangguan Fei'er asked, "Is there any pocket watch like this that is still sold in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion?" β
Gu Ye said he didn't know. Sun Yinuo likes shopping very much, and just went to the Hidden Treasure Pavilion with his mother to buy gifts, and couldn't help but say, "I went to see it two days ago, and there is another one." But it's not as good as Miss Chu's hands. In addition to pocket watches, there seem to be a variety of clocks, all of which can be used to keep accurate time. β
Shangguan Fei'er nodded and said, "After eating for a while, is anyone willing to go shopping?" β
Except for Gu Ye, the rest of the little girls were also very interested and expressed their willingness to take a look. There are a lot of treasures in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, but the price is also frighteningly expensive. However, it's not bad if you can't afford to go over it. After all, going up to the third floor is a threshold fee to be paid, and it is not something that ordinary people can get.
Chu Xiaowu, who wanted to take the opportunity to serve the food, met with the head of Anya County, heard the little girls discussing the pocket watch on the third floor of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, and the discussion was enthusiastic. The little girl he likes seems to like very much.
The pocket watch of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, when he went shopping with a few friends, he also took a fancy to it. But when I looked at the price, I retreated. Spending more than 10,000 taels of silver, just to see the time, is indeed too extravagant! However, the little sister said that if you want to please girls, you must often create some surprises for her. Since Anya likes it, then he will give her a surprise New Year's gift!
Chu Xiaowu let Liangchen in, quietly borrowed a token from Xiaomei that could be discounted in half, and immediately left the house and went straight to the Hidden Treasure Pavilion. The shopkeeper of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, seeing the token representing the future housemother, personally invited people to the third floor, so that those guests who could not afford to pay the deposit and had no chance on the third floor were envious.
Chu Xiaowu went up to the third floor and went straight to the clock area. However, when he was in a familiar position and did not find the pocket watch, his face suddenly lengthened.
"Shopkeeper, the pocket watch you put here was sold?" Chu Mubai had a bit of luck in his heart, hoping to get a negative answer from the shopkeeper's mouth.
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I sold it this morning...... Mr. Chu, do you want to buy a pocket watch? "The future housewife is a girl from the Zhenguo family, and she can take her token, looking at the age of this son, she should be one of the six brothers of the future master, right?
Chu Mubai showed a disappointed expression. I wanted to surprise Anya, but who would have thought that it would be so unlucky. If he had come earlier, would he have bought the pocket watch?
"Master Chu, do you want to use the pocket watch yourself, or give it away? There is also a piece inlaid with rubies in the shop, which is more suitable for little girls......"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was grabbed by Chu Mubai's wrist. Chu Mubai raised his eyebrows and asked repeatedly: "Where is the pocket watch with gems, my son wants it!" β
As soon as his words fell, there was a rush of footsteps, and a familiar voice shouted, "Wait! The shopkeeper, the pocket watch is the king of this county!! β
Chu Xiaowu already had the temper of a demon king of the mixed world, and when he heard this, he immediately frowned and rolled up his sleeves. He wanted to see which of the unsighted ones dared to compete with him for a pocket watchβhow could he ask him if his fist was willing!
The fat on his body has lost a lot, and his figure is gradually developing from fat to strong, Taijun Wang climbed up to the third floor in one breath, and before he could catch his breath, he wiped a handful of fine sweat on his head, and said loudly: "Where's the pocket watch?" The king of this county is asking for it! β
Today, he accompanied his daughter-in-law to the gate of the Guogong Mansion in the town. In the martial arts training field, he was called by his daughter-in-law to come to the Hidden Treasure Pavilion to buy an overseas object called "pocket watch". He didn't dare to disobey his daughter-in-law's order, and he had to complete it despite all difficulties!
"King Taijun, you are one step late. Here's a sample pocket watch, which has already been bought this morning! Chu Xiaowu crossed his hands on his chest, raised his eyebrows at him, and continued, "As for the gem-inlaid one in the shopkeeper's mouth, I have already booked it. β
"Huh? That...... Lost pocket watch? King Taijun asked, staring at the shopkeeper with round eyes. Seeing the shopkeeper shaking his head, he rolled his eyes and said to Chu Mubai, "Little Wu, let's have a discussion......"
"Not negotiable!" Chu Mubai didn't wait for him to finish his words, and refused categorically. Everything else is easy to discuss, but his future daughter-in-law has absolutely no room for negotiation!
"Look at you! The gem-inlaid one, that's for a little girl, you're a big man, and you're not afraid of people laughing when you take it out? Just let it go to my brother. You also know your sister-in-law's temper, if I can't buy this pocket watch, do you know how miserable the end is? Just pity my poor brother, okay? "King Taijun is very capable of pulling the bottom.
Chu Mubai gave him a wry smile and said, "I won't tell you the truth." This pocket watch is really not for my own use. Tautology (the word of King Taijun) Brother, you have already married your sister-in-law home, brother, I will point to this pocket watch and chase the little girl! β
King Taijun knew that Chu Xiaowu was shy, so he said, "So let's do it...... The two of them look at one thing at the same time, and the one with the highest price wins! How much is that pocket watch? Twelve thousand? I'll give fifteen thousand! β
"Brother Tautology, you're too unauthentic like this. Everything comes first and comes, and I was the one who ordered this pocket watch first! Chu Mubai was so angry that his teeth itched.
Don't say fifteen thousand, even ten thousand and twelve can't take it out. Originally, with the token, he could barely cope with his small treasury. I never expected that the king of Taijun would intervene!
King Taijun shamelessly showed a smug expression: "Have you paid the silver?" No? In this case, this item still belongs to the Hidden Treasure Pavilion. The shopkeeper's love sells whoever sells! Shopkeeper, quickly take out the pocket watch and choose a delicate box for me to pack. It's a silver ticket of fifteen thousand......"
"I'll give you sixteen!" Chu Mubai rushed to his head in a fit of anger and shouted out a price that far exceeded his ability to pay.
King Taijun saw through him and smiled: "Okay! You take out the silver ticket, and the pocket watch is yours! β
"I ...... Wait a minute, I'll let you go back and get the silver ticket! Chu Mubai gritted his teeth, the big deal was to owe it to the account first, and then he would have the money to pay it back.
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, King Taijun smiled and said, "Little Wu, don't embarrass the shopkeeper." It's not that you don't know that the rules of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion have always been to pay money with one hand and deliver goods with the other. Since you didn't bring that much silver, what ...... Brother, you're welcome! β
