Chapter 21 Just now, now is now

"Official, I was wrong, you have a lot of them, and you don't know as much as an ignorant woman like me." As soon as the ordinary people heard that they were going to enter the yamen, their legs were weak, and where did they dare to resist, the woman's heart was weak, and she couldn't help but plead in a low voice.

Gu Changning looked at her coldly and flattered, it would be good if she was so honest in her heart!

Seeing her quickly change their faces, the surrounding crowd all let out a burst of boos, laughing inwardly at the woman's attitude.

The leading poor master didn't really want to take this woman to the court for interrogation, but it was just to scare her, but now that she was soft, he nodded without saying a word: "Since you know it's wrong, then give money." ”

Having dealt with these women who love to take advantage of them so many times, he knows very well how to make them feel painful, that is, to make them buy what they find expensive.

When the woman heard this, she was distressed, but she didn't dare to disobey the official's wishes, so she had to make a bitter face, frown, take out her purse, and said to Gu Changning angrily: "Ten pennies and one catty, right!" Take it, take it, take it! ”

Counted ten copper plates and reluctantly stuffed them to her.

"I'm afraid this aunt is mistaken, my raspberry is twenty wen a catty, not ten wen!" Gu Changning didn't take the copper plate, and said with a smile.

"What?!" The woman glared at her with a pair of cannibalistic eyes, and said angrily, "Aren't you still ten cents a pound just now!" ”

"That's right, aunt, you also said it, just now ten cents a catty, just now, now is now, this time and that time, how can you put it together." Gu Changning said with a frank look, not feeling that there was anything wrong with doubling the price.

"You, you're sitting on the ground!" The woman's face flushed.

The onlookers listened to Gu Changning's words and were all talking about it, and they were all dissatisfied with her sudden price increase, but because she now had the support of the official, no one dared to speak loudly, Gu Huai'an faintly heard the people around her whispering accusations against Gu Changning.

"This little baby is too unforgiving, people are willing to buy his things, and he has doubled the price, isn't this a trick? It's a black heart. ”

"No, twenty wen buys a pound of raspberries, and rice is only four yuan a pound, and it's really a shame that he can say it."

"Eh, isn't the person standing on the edge of the stall the little baby's brother? What doesn't he care? ”

"This kid has such a heart, he can't grow up to have any climate."

Gu Huai'an listened to everyone's voices, still unmoved, watching his sister and the woman around.

He believed that there was a reason why Gu Changning suddenly doubled the price, no matter what others said, his sister knew that she was by no means the kind of child who was unforgiving.

Li Yuansan saw the dissatisfied demeanor of the crowd, leaned over slightly, and whispered to the person standing in front of him: "Boss, do we still want to help this child?" ”

Xue Mingkai, the official who was standing at the forefront, squinted his eyes, his eyes were still fixed on Gu Changning, and he turned his face sideways to Li Yuansan and replied, "Let's see." ”

In fact, something similar happened before, after getting the support of the official, the people who were originally bitter masters changed their bodies and had to get up inch by inch, and there were also people like Gu Changning who sat on the ground and raised the price.

But for some reason, he always felt that the baby in front of him was not that kind of person, and from the feeling he gave people, it didn't look like such a child.

When Li Yuansan saw that the leader had spoken like this, he didn't say anything more, clasped his arms with his hands, and looked at the two people who were surrounded in the middle.

The woman was still gray-faced and looked extremely distressed, but now when she heard the voices of the people around her, she felt that everyone was still on her side, and immediately jumped up and down again: "Your price is too expensive, it's just slandering!" ”

"yes." Gu Changning nodded very happily and admitted, "It's okay for you to play tricks, why can't I blackmail you?" ”

"You!" The girl's throat was clenched, and she couldn't say anything.

"You're too expensive, huh? Don't buy it if it's too expensive, I won't sell it yet. Gu Changning rolled his eyelids at her, and said straight to Xue Mingkai, "Brother Guancha, this aunt won't give money for eating my things for nothing, and I don't want her to buy them, you can see how she should be judged in her case, I don't want her money anyway." ”

Xue Mingkai raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to speak, but the woman didn't dare to raise any more objections when she saw this, and hurriedly took out the money, "Give it to you, twenty wen is twenty wen!" ”

Gu Changning carefully counted the number of copper plates, afraid of being knocked off, and only after counting them did he open his smile and said: "Yes, it's really twenty wen, brother, wrap a pound of raspberries for this aunt!" ”

Gu Huai'an was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly wrapped a pound of raspberries according to what his sister said.

Gu Changning saw that his brother was busy, and he didn't forget to say in his mouth: "Brother, you can take a good look at the bag, pick the best one, the provincial aunt is not comfortable when she goes back, and she has to go around preaching that our family is selling rotten fruits." ”

The woman glared at her, but kept her mouth shut.

After Gu Huai'an wrapped it, Gu Changning took it and handed it to the woman: "Auntie, take a look clearly, is there a bad one here?" Do you want to weigh it again, lest you turn around and say that we are short of catties and two, which is not good. ”

The woman glanced at her fiercely, pulled her directly, "hummed" without speaking, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Auntie go slowly, the two you just ate should be given to you, and I haven't received any of them." After Gu Changning finished speaking, she saw that the woman had quickened her steps, and there was no shadow when she walked, so she counted out ten wen from the copper plate and handed it to Gu Huai'an, and the remaining ten wen was taken by her to buy ten steamed buns.

"Ning Ning, what are you doing here?" Gu Huai'an looked at her in confusion after buying the steamed buns, and asked what Xue Mingkai and the others and the onlookers wanted to ask.

"Buy steamed buns." Gu Changning looked at his brother strangely.

The corners of Gu Huai'an's mouth twitched: "I'm asking why you want to buy so many steamed buns." ”

"Oh, for them." Gu Changning pouted at a certain place in the corner of the wall, and then walked over with a steamed bun in the eyes of everyone.

Gu Huai'an and the others looked in her direction, and found that there were a few little beggars squatting in the corner, skinny as wood, not very old, the youngest was about four or five years old, and the oldest was seven or eight years old, covered in dirty mud, with several holes in his clothes, his hair was messier than a chicken nest, and there were a few straws mixed in it.

Gu Changning handed them the steamed buns in his hand, and quickly said when they were coaxing: "Eat quickly." ”

She had already thought about it when she decided to double the price, the price was going to rise, but she didn't want this copper plate, so the scene in front of her happened.

And the reason why she asked these little beggars to eat quickly was that she knew that if she didn't take advantage of the fact that there were more people to eat the steamed buns now, as soon as the official left and the crowd dispersed, the big beggars around her would come over to grab their food, so she asked them to finish eating quickly.

When Gu Changning walked back to the stall slowly after doing all this, the place fell into an eerie silence, and no one made the slightest sound, as if they were frozen.

Gu Changning stood on the stall very calmly and shouted at everyone: "Delicious fresh raspberries, ten pounds a catty, there are still seven catties left, hurry up to buy them, there will be no such store after this village." ”

The sound was loud in the silence of the crowd.

There was silence around, and the crowd left one by one, without the slightest hesitation.

"Really, when I saw that there was a good show here, I immediately gathered around, and when I saw that the play was gone, I immediately dispersed, these people are so ruthless!" Gu Changning looked at the field that was emptied in an instant, and complained to his brother.

Gu Huaian didn't know what he could say, so he had to respond to his sister's words with a dry smile.
