"Okay, then I won't be polite to the young owner, I'll accept the ten taels of silver." Gu Changning nodded.

Chen Jinshu was relieved when he saw her stuffing the silver into his sleeve.

Gu Changning and Gu Huai'an said goodbye to them and left, and Chen Jinshu also returned home with Buyuan.

The incident of the puffer fish is too strange, and someone is definitely behind it.

It seems that their Chen family has inadvertently offended someone, and that person deliberately made a conspiracy to assassinate their family!

Thinking of this, Chen Jinshu was solemn for a while, and he hurriedly went back to his home to inform his mother of this matter, and he must find this person.

"Shopkeeper, the owner is so rich, why did the young owner only give him ten taels of silver?" Not long after Chen Jinshu left, Xiao Er, who was waiting in the lobby, moved to the side of the shopkeeper Yan and asked him in a low voice.

He didn't understand, that kid just now could be said to have saved the lives of the whole house of the owner, and he only gave ten taels of silver to express his gratitude for saving his life, would it be too little......

"You know what." Shopkeeper Yan glanced at him, walked back to the counter and began to count the account books, and replied, "You think it's too little, so how much is appropriate?" One hundred taels? A thousand taels? Whether it's a hundred taels or a thousand taels, it's not a good thing for this little brother, he can't keep it. ”

There are a lot of people who know about this matter today, and if they don't keep it, they will say it with more mouths, if the young owner gives one hundred and two thousand taels, I am afraid that it will bring trouble to the other party, and I am afraid that I will worry about my life.

After all, some vicious people can harm people's lives for the sake of money, and sometimes they give too much money, which is a disaster.

Besides, in addition to the ten taels of silver, the young owner also gave him the wooden plaque token, so that when he needs it in the future, he can go to the Chen family's property for help, and the presence of this plaque has fully expressed Chen Ji's sincerity.

"In that case, wouldn't it be good to give ten taels?" Xiao Er just solved the previous doubts, and immediately began to worry about the new one again, "Ten taels of silver is also a lot of silver for ordinary people." ”

Like him running a hall in a restaurant, he only earns four dollars of silver a month, and about five taels a year, and ten taels can be worth his income for two years.

Even when he first learned that Chen Jinshu had taken out ten taels of silver, his heart beat twice, full of envy.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Yan stopped moving, glanced at him, suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked a brain on his head, and said with a smile: "Is it okay to give one or two?" There are not many people who give a silver tael to their hearts. ”

Xiao Er covered his head and smirked at the shopkeeper.

"Cheng Tianjing thinks about what he doesn't have, how good it is to use this energy to work hard!" The shopkeeper Yan glanced at him before explaining, "The young owner has his own considerations for giving ten taels of silver, and giving one tael or five taels is too little, just like sending a flower child, it is not good to give twenty taels or fifty taels, it is easy to recruit people, ten taels is just right, it will not seem too light, nor will it make people too jealous and jealous, so that they can do something." ”

"Oh, that's ...... so" The shopkeeper listened to the explanation and nodded vaguely.

Although he didn't understand too much, he understood that the young owner was doing this for the good of the little boy, so he didn't continue to ask, but returned to his place and waited for the guests to come.

"Ning Ning, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Coming out of Chen Ji Restaurant, Gu Huaian couldn't wait to ask.

"Oh, that's right, didn't I lose a little time in the back kitchen? Actually, it was because I saw that they were cooking a highly poisonous ingredient, and I hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and because of this, the young owner was so grateful to me. Gu Changning said with a brushstroke.

"Highly toxic ingredients?" Gu Huai'an was surprised, turned his face to look at his sister, and said in surprise, "Then how did you know that the ingredient was poisonous?" ”

"Well, I read it in that omnivorous book, which happened to have everything detailed about this ingredient, so I just did what it was written in that book." Gu Changning explained vaguely.

She was afraid that she would say too much and arouse her brother's curiosity, and she would have to take a look at the omnivorous book when she went back, so she wouldn't be exposed!

"That's the case......" Gu Huai'an still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't read the book much, and it was also because he wasn't interested in those books, so he didn't ask any more questions, and turned to talk about others, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Gu Changning saw that his brother automatically changed the topic, his heart was relieved, and he picked up in a cheerful tone: "It's rare to come to Donghuang Town, I want to go and see the cloth shop here." ”

She has been studying female red with A-Niang for the past two or three months, not to mention how good the embroidery is now, she wants to see the level of embroidery in the cloth shop, so as to compare her own level.

Well, if the level is okay, she would like to take on a few embroidery jobs.

Although Gu Changning knew that it was unlikely, he still couldn't help but hold his illusions.

"Yes." Gu Huai'an nodded and agreed to his sister's words.

"Brother, what about you? Do you have a store you'd like to visit? ”

Gu Huai'an paused, was silent for two seconds, and said hesitantly: "I want to go to the bookstore to see ......"

"Yes!" When Gu Changning heard this, he nodded again and again in support, "Are you going to buy books?" It just so happened that the young owner gave us silver, which could be used to buy books. ”

"No, no, it's not to buy books,......" Gu Huai'an said a little shyly, "I want to ask the shopkeeper of the bookstore, if I need to copy books, I can take a few books and go back." ”

"Oh......" Knowing Gu Huai'an's intentions, Gu Changning weakly responded.

She felt that this was most likely unlikely, there was a academy in Donghuang Town, although it was not comparable to Yunshan Academy, but there were dozens of students studying in it.

If the bookstore lacks people to copy books, I am afraid that it will have been picked up by students from poor families in the academy long ago, and where will it be the turn of people from other villages.

Why don't you go over and take a look, what if there is a leak?

Gu Changning nodded at this and didn't say a word.

The brother and sister said as they walked, because of the ten taels of silver as the base, the burden on their shoulders was instantly lightened, and the two of them walked much brisker.

Gu Changning casually glanced at the afterglow when he was talking and laughing with his brother, and when he saw the magnificent restaurant he saw first, his face stiffened, and a trace of gloom crossed his eyes.

However, she quickly adjusted, and after only a moment of effort, her expression recovered very naturally, as if nothing had happened, because Gu Huai'an had been looking ahead, she didn't notice her sister's abnormality at all.

The two walked together as they walked farther and farther until they left the street.

The moment he left from the street, the depression in Gu Changning's heart dissipated.

The restaurant I just passed by is the restaurant where my brother worked as a kitchen handyman in his previous life!

In the last life, when she left Xinghua Village, the shopkeeper of this restaurant was still his big shopkeeper.

When she came back in this life, she didn't want to have anything to do with such a black-hearted restaurant at all.

"By the way, brother, it seems that the oil and salt at home are running out, let's buy some back by the way in a while." Now the steward of the stove room is Gu Changning, and he naturally knows how much seasoning is left, and at this time, he suddenly remembered this matter, and said to his brother busily.

"Okay."

Gu Changning was still immersed in the joy of negotiating business, and he didn't notice that someone behind him had been following them, so this person followed them all the way.

Donghuang Town is lined with shops, and the goods are dazzling, making people overwhelmed.

Outside the store, there are all kinds of stalls, vendors are constantly selling, and the crowd walking on the street is densely packed, showing a prosperous and lively appearance.

"It is worthy of Donghuang Town, this is neither a market nor an early morning, and there are so many people on the street, looking at the degree of excitement, I am afraid that Xingshui Town only has the day of the market." Gu Changning sighed.

"Hmm."

"Shall we go to the bookstore or the cloth shop first?"

"Let's go to the cloth shop first, go and buy the cloth you like first, and then it's not too late to go to the bookstore." Gu Huaian said without hesitation.

"Let's go, then." Gu Changning didn't explain that he didn't go to buy cloth, anyway, when he got there, he didn't listen to his brother whether to buy it or not.

The two of them went to the cloth shop with a clear goal, but the people behind them squeezed into the crowd hard, while being careful not to be discovered by them, and on the other hand, they couldn't lose it, and they followed closely all the way with the spirit of 120,000 points, and they didn't dare to stagger half a step.

"Brocade-embroidery-workshop, the name is not bad, go in and have a look." Gu Changning stood at the door of the store and whispered to the signboard, and was about to take his brother in.

Gu Huai'an's cheeks were flushed, standing in place unsure, just wanted to say that he was waiting for her outside the door, but he didn't go in, and the little guy in Jinxiufang had already come out to drive people out with a disgusted face.

"Let's go, we don't give alms here, you go to other houses and ask."

Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened instantly, like a frightened cat, his eyes widened.

She's ...... Mistaken for a beggar?

Gu Changning lowered his head and looked at what he was wearing, with a depressed expression.

Not to mention, this patched look really looks like a little beggar.

When Gu Huai'an heard the guy's words, his face changed, and he was about to step forward to ask for an explanation for his sister, but Gu Changning had already turned around and went down the stone steps with an indifferent face.

"Let's go, let's go to the bookstore." Gu Changning walked up to his brother who didn't look good, stretched out his little white hand and tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice.

“…… Don't you want to buy cloth and make clothes at home? After a moment, Gu Huai'an's muffled voice came.

"No, they are not the only cloth shop, we can go to other places to see, we don't necessarily have to have this one." Gu Changning blinked his eyes and looked at his brother and said with relief.

The reason why she had taken a fancy to this cloth shop was not only because the cloth was gorgeous and expensive, but also because the customers inside seemed to be from large families, wearing gold and silver, and all silk fabrics.

Although such a shop has high requirements for embroiderers, the same remuneration will not be less, and she wants to ask.

Anyway, if she can't do it, there will be a mother on top.

She knew that her mother could not be idle in October to conceive a baby, and when her body was better, she would inevitably come back with some embroidery, and she would definitely not be able to persuade her.

In this case, it is better for her to ask the price first, if the price is high, and there is no hurry, the salary of one is comparable to three or four embroidery jobs in a small shop, then it is better to choose this.

It's just that now that he saw this guy's attitude, when he saw the guests in brocade clothes and surrounded by pearls and emeralds, he groveled and smiled and flattered, and treated the guests who were dressed in ordinary clothes with arrogance and disdain, Gu Changning directly gave up his thoughts.

Because most of these shops are like the restaurant with carved beams and paintings, and they can do their best to lower the price.
