Chapter Twenty-Four: I Didn't, I Really Didn't, I Really Didn't......
Inadvertently, it was time for the date...... The appointed day.
Gu Ming came to the county office as promised, but unexpectedly, Nie Xiaoqian was already standing outside with Yu'er looking forward to it.
Gu Ming took a few steps and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm a little late." ”
Nie Xiaoqian was reasonable, and smiled: "It's not that you're late, it's me and Yu'er a little early." ”
What an empathetic woman.
"Gu Gongzi, that courtyard ...... Nothing strange happens, does it? ”
Yu'er is quite bold on weekdays, but she has been afraid of listening to ghost stories since she was a child.
"Don't worry, the trees have been cut down."
With that, Yu'er's expression finally looked better.
However, when the three of them came to Zhaobei Street, the girl didn't know whether she was still scared or deliberately avoided, so she ran away under the pretext of going to see Rouge.
This also played into Gu Ming's arms, and he secretly praised Yu'er in his heart.
Entering the courtyard, Nie Xiaoqian carefully looked at the surrounding environment and made some suggestions.
"You can build a corridor to the backyard, which is not only elegant, but also sheltered from the sun and rain......"
"Well, that makes sense."
After walking a short distance, Nie Xiaoqian's feet slipped......
"Ah~"
When he saw it, he would fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Gu Ming's eyes were quick, and he reached out to hold his waist.
After enjoying the intoxicating soft fragrance for a moment, Fang gently helped the beauty up and said softly: "The ground is slippery, be careful." ”
Nie Xiaoqian's pink cheeks were hot, and her voice responded like a young mosquito: "Well, thank you, son." ”
Also taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Ming took her little hand and walked slowly.
The atmosphere that followed was a little more subtle.
Although the two of them said some innocuous words, they could feel the heat in each other's palms.
Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help it after all, and pretended to ask casually: "Gu Gongzi is talented, presumably ...... Got engaged early, right? ”
After asking, a heart almost stopped beating.
She was really afraid of getting an affirmative answer, so ...... What should she do?
It is absolutely impossible to be a concubine.
Fortunately, Gu Ming shook his head without a trace of hesitation: "There have been matchmakers who have come to the door to say a few before, but they haven't said it." ”
"Oh...... I...... It's also ......."
These words are almost inaudible.
As soon as she finished speaking, Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly hooked her head, and peach blossoms bloomed on her cheeks.
The words are so clear, Gu Ming can't pretend to be confused.
Besides, it's still hand-in-hand.
So he paused and said with a solemn face: "Xiaoqian, give me a little more time, and I will definitely not disappoint you." ”
"I ...... What do I have in mind......"
"Haha, then take it as my heart......"
At this point, the two of them almost pierced the layer of window paper.
Nie Xiaoqian replied shyly, raised her hand and pinched Gu Ming: "Then you are not allowed to make eye contact with those ladies in the future." ”
"I don't, I really don't, I really don't have ......"
……
The other side.
Yu'er jumped up and down alone, and after shopping at the fat shop, she went to the tailor's shop......
After wandering around for a long time, I came to a jade shop not far from the courtyard.
After all, it's the youngest daughter's house, so I want to see it even if I don't buy it.
This jade shop may seem small, but there are many categories, and people are dazzled by it.
After a while, Yu'er's eyes lit up, and her gaze fell on a gold-inlaid jade bracelet and it was difficult to take it off.
Although her outfit is a maid's ring, who knows if it was chosen for the young lady or the lady?
Therefore, the shopkeeper took the initiative to take out the bracelet and handed it to Yu'er: "This girl is really good eyesight, this jade bracelet is made of high-quality white jade, and it is a ...... made by a well-known craftsman in Jinhua Mansion."
At this time, there was another woman in the store who was picking up jade.
She is tall, fat, full of jewels, and is surrounded by a maid ring, and you don't have to guess that she is a rich lady.
Hearing the shopkeeper's gushing introduction, the woman subconsciously glanced sideways, and then ordered: "Ah Fang, go and bring the bracelet over for Mrs. Ben to see." ”
"Yes, ma'am!"
Ah Fang answered and walked over.
Yu'er didn't pay attention to what the other party said, she was playing with the jade bracelet with love, and subconsciously asked, "How much?" ”
"This is a masterpiece made by a famous craftsman, and it is inlaid with pure gold, so it is more expensive, forty taels of silver."
"Ah...... It's so expensive......"
Yu'er smacked her tongue and was about to return the jade bracelet, but as soon as she lifted the jade bracelet, someone snatched it away.
"Hmph, don't look at it if you can't afford it!"
It was Ah Fang who took away the jade bracelet.
It's just so rude to take it away, and she likes to say something sarcastic, as if she can buy it.
"You...... What do you mean? ”
Yu'er asked angrily.
Everyone is a girl, is it necessary to look down on people like this?
Without waiting for Ah Fang to respond, the fat woman seemed to be a little impatient and shouted, "Ignore her, hurry up and bring it to Mrs. Ben to take a look." ”
"Yes!"
Ah Fang answered, took two steps and handed over the jade bracelet.
The shopkeeper also saw the wind and steered, and immediately walked in front of the other party and enthusiastically introduced: "Mrs. Zhou is really good eyesight, this jade bracelet is made of high-quality white jade, and it is a well-known craftsman in Jinhua Mansion to create ......."
"Well, it looks pretty good, how much silver?"
"Madame...... Thirty-eight taels is good. ”
"Okay, it's thirty-eight taels, Mrs. Ben will try it first......"
As a result, they couldn't wear it.
"That...... Or I'll get some soap horn water. ”
I don't know, I still can't wear it after moistening my hands with soap horn. There's no way, Mrs. Zhou's hands have too much meat, I'm afraid they are several times bigger than ordinary women.
"Poof!"
Seeing this, Yu'er couldn't help but laugh out loud.
First, it's really funny, and second, it's also a breath of anger that I suffered before.
Who knows, just such a chuckle made Mrs. Zhou angry.
"Bang!"
This woman is also domineering enough, and she actually slapped the jade bracelet on the counter, so frightened that the shopkeeper quickly picked it up and took a look...... Fortunately, it's fine.
"Dead girl, what are you laughing at? Is it so funny? ”
Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I laughed when I remembered a funny thing, and I didn't smile at you......"
Indeed, she was smiling to the side.
"Bold, dare to contradict my wife? Why don't you admit your mistake in a hurry? ”
Ah Fanghu pretended to be a tiger, and he shouted loudly.
"Why should I admit my mistake? You're so unreasonable...... Shopkeeper, you can be present in this matter, you can judge it. ”
The shopkeeper pretended not to hear it, and pretended to take the jade bracelet to observe carefully.
"You're a dead girl, aren't you? Where's your wife? Call out to the old lady, the old lady wants to see who trained you such a wild girl today! ”
As soon as she heard this, Yu'er stopped talking.
"Hey, who are you scolding? You're great to be a lady, aren't you? You can just curse people, right? ”
This sentence completely angered Mrs. Zhou, and she walked over violently and slapped Yu'er......
