Chapter 22: The Same Situation
Gu Changning finished muttering, turned his face sideways, looked at the empty other end and widened his eyes and said, "Brother, what about the officials who stood here just now?" ”
"Let's go."
Let's go? Gu Changning looked at where Xue Mingkai was standing just now, was silent for a while, and finally didn't say anything.
She originally wanted to touch everything, and she just took this opportunity to get acquainted with this official, after all, she is only eight years old now, and she is afraid that when she sells things in the future, others will see that she is still a child, and they will despise her in their hearts and deliberately lower the price.
If there are people in the yamen who know each other, at least they won't be easily bullied.
But since the other party walked so fast, she had no choice but to forget it.
"Brother, isn't it time for you to go to the academy?" Gu Changning chatted with Gu Huai'an for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Shichen, and asked with a twisted eyebrow.
Gu Huai'an paused when he heard this: "Hmm." ”
"Then why don't you go?" Gu Changning was anxious.
"Ning Ning, why don't I stay with you, you also saw the situation just now, I'm afraid that you will suffer a loss here alone." Gu Huaian frowned and said.
He used to think that it was too easy to set up a stall in the market, thinking that Zuo was just a passer-by passing by the stall and buying what he wanted to buy directly, but he never thought about what he would do if he ran into a rude and unreasonable guest like he had just done.
Thinking about it like this, he was a little uneasy, and he stood hesitantly in place, hesitating to go to the academy.
Gu Changning saw his thoughts, waved his hand, and said without taking this matter into his eyes at all: "Brother, don't worry, I will act on the opportunity, if the other party is very difficult, it's a big deal that I don't want this basket of raspberries, besides, the official just left from here, ordinary people can't avoid it when they see it, how can they take the initiative to come up and make trouble?" ”
Gu Huaian still felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't resist his sister's persuasion, and finally walked away step by step with his bookbag on his back.
As soon as Gu Huai'an left, this place instantly became silent, there were originally three or five people passing by, but now everyone tried to avoid walking here, and they couldn't see a few guests, and the cold and lonely appearance made Gu Changning feel that the remaining seven and a half catties should not be able to be sold.
Because the villagers who rushed to the market at this time should almost go back, go back to work and cook, the market gradually dispersed, Gu Changning sat on the small bench with his head on his hands, and he was about to fall asleep.
In such boredom, she didn't notice that out of this market street, there was a person standing on the second floor of a restaurant looking at her, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Young Master." By the window near the street on the second floor of the restaurant, a young man who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old walked quickly towards a young man dressed in ice blue satin, and said respectfully, "I have inquired about what happened. ”
"What is it, tell me quickly!" Ten-year-old Chen Jinshu asked curiously.
A quarter of an hour ago, when he was standing on the second floor of his restaurant and looking into the distance, he suddenly found that a large number of people had gathered in the corner not far away.
At this moment, Buyuan took the news he had just inquired about, and completely described Chen Jinshu, and even the reaction of everyone present at the time did not fall, as if he was a storyteller, Chen Jinshu was stunned for a moment, and silently turned his head to look at the place, and a trace of curiosity about Gu Changning's actions rose.
Although he was only ten years old, he had already begun to learn to take over the family business, so he couldn't help but think about it a little more.
Gu Changning's demeanor was obviously determined that the official would help him, so how could he be sure that the officials would definitely help him, not the woman?
Moreover, his behavior of finally sitting on the ground and raising the price was too risky, in case the officials thought that he was greedy and did not take advantage of the price increase and ignored it, how was he going to clean up the situation?
Chen Jinshu was very curious.
"Master, do you want to eat raspberries? I'm going to buy it for you? Bu Yuan saw that Chen Jinshu had been staring at Gu Changning's small stall, and with the focused look on his face, he couldn't help but guess.
"Raspberries?" Chen Jinshu shook his head and refused, "No need, I don't have much interest in raspberries." ”
Bu Yuan dispelled his thoughts when he heard this, and stood quietly with his hands hanging at his side waiting for the young master's instructions, but he was particularly puzzled in his heart, since the young master didn't want to eat raspberries, why did he keep staring at the young man?
Just when Gu Changning was in a panic and Chen Jinshu looked at her curiously, a young lady who was plain white and had no color came out of the restaurant opened by the Chen family.
The young lady was accompanied by three or two maids, who were carefully helping her out.
A spacious and comfortable carriage was parked in front of the restaurant, and the bench was already on the ground, and the groom stood aside, his back slightly bent, waiting for the young lady to get into it.
At this moment, the lady suddenly stopped, and asked curiously in the direction of Gu Changning, "What's going on over there?" ”
There were too many people around that place before, and even in the restaurant, she could vaguely glance at the wide open windows, but when she came out, she saw that the crowd had dispersed, and the place was so calm that it was as if nothing had happened, and she felt a little confused and asked.
"Mrs. Hui, it was just someone who wanted to eat raspberries and didn't give money, which caused dissatisfaction among the children who sold raspberries, and that's why they made a fuss." Mafu explained.
He also noticed the movement over there when he was waiting outside the restaurant, and because of curiosity, he casually pulled an onlooker to inquire after the incident, and then he knew the reason.
After listening to the groom's explanation, the lady glanced at Gu Changning, and suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, the situation of him and Brother Yao'er is that they both lost their fathers at a young age, and their mothers are still pregnant. ”
The lady glanced at her belly and plain white clothes, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Mrs. ......" The mother-in-law standing on the side looked at her worriedly, afraid that she would be in a bad mood and affect the child in her belly.
"I'm fine, nurse, you don't have to worry about me." Madame smiled softly, with a little poignancy in her smile, and then said to her eldest girl, "Green Lotus, that child looks really pitiful, he has to come out to support his family at a young age, and I don't know how long it will take for that raspberry to be sold, you go and buy all the raspberries, so that he can go home early, there are no people in the market at this time." ”
"Yes." Lu He nodded and walked straight towards Gu Changning.
The nurse saw all this in her eyes, and sighed softly in her heart, Mrs. Xindao would sympathize with this child so much, thinking that it was because the situation in this baby's family was the same as in the house, and Mrs. thought of herself by him.
