Chapter Twenty-Three: My Brother Is Him!
Gu Changning sat alone in the stall, looking at the sparse market where people had already left, frowning at the remaining raspberries, full of hesitation.
A total of ten catties of raspberries, went to two and a half catties to get ten cents, and then counted the five cents of the booth fee, this lying only earned five cents.
Gu Changning was not too surprised that there would be such an ending, how could the money be so easy to make, and it was normal that she couldn't sell it, but there were still seven and a half catties left here, and it seemed that she had to carry these raspberries to the school to find her brother.
Gu Changning pouted, and finally made up his mind to get up and pick up the bamboo basket, when a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Child, how do you sell this raspberry?" ā
"Ten pennies a pound!" Hearing someone ask, Gu Changning's eyes lit up, and he looked at the person standing in front of the stall with a bright look.
The fabric worn by this sister is a silk that ordinary people are reluctant to buy, and at a glance she knows that it is a maid from a large family who came to buy raspberries for her master.
And the maids of large families are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, Gu Changning rose from a rough maid all the way to a first-class maid in her previous life, and naturally refined a good eyesight, and from her demeanor and speech, she can tell that this is a very decent person in front of her master, most of whom are confidants or something.
As for why Gu Changning guessed that this girl bought it for her master and not for herself, of course, it was because Gu Changning's afterglow had already caught a glimpse of a group of people waiting diagonally opposite, all of them looking this way, thinking that the owner wanted to eat raspberries, and sent her to buy it, so the carriage dared to stop at the door of the restaurant for so long.
After thinking about it like this, Gu Changning became even more enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "This raspberry is freshly picked by me and my brother, sister, you can taste it, it tastes sweet!" ā
Green Lotus carefully looked at the basket of raspberries, and saw that the first ones in it were intact and undamaged, so he knew that they had been selected, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I want all the catties here." ā
Gu Changning's eyes widened, he was stunned for two seconds, and then decisively came back to his senses and said: "There are still seven and a half catties here, and ten wen and one catty should be seventy-five wen, sister, you want them all, then I will give you a cheaper price, just give me seventy wen." ā
Green Lotus listened to her words, and suddenly felt good in his heart, thinking that this little baby is quite good at doing business, although the five cents are not much, but he took the initiative to bring it up, which was surprising.
But the green lotus thought about it, just looked at the lady's appearance, as if she was ready to buy it at the original price, and wanted to take care of this child, she didn't dare to make her own decisions as a maid, and felt that it was most appropriate to buy it at the original price, so she said: "It's not easy for you to come out at a young age to support your family, I don't take advantage of you, how much should be how much, I won't have less, don't worry, but there are too many raspberries, I can't just hold it in my arms and take it away, so I even bought your bamboo basket, count you eighty wen, What do you think? ā
"Eighty Wen?" Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, then shook his hand and said, "Sister, you are too much, this bamboo basket only costs two pennies a piece on the market, and besides, it is my family, so it is no problem to give it to you directly, and there is no need to calculate the money." ā
Green Lotus had already taken out the purse at this time, took out the extra silver money, and then handed the purse to her with the eighty Wen in it, "Since you gave it to you, you can take it, this is also a piece of our lady's heart, you take it home and buy more delicious food for your aunt." ā
Gu Changning was stunned again, only to realize that maybe it was not that lady who wanted to eat raspberries, but seeing that she was selling raspberries alone here, she might have heard something from the onlookers, and she couldn't bear it, so she asked the maid to buy all the raspberries.
Gu Changning pinched the purse in his hand, his lips moved, he suddenly turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of the carriage, and then lifted the bamboo basket and handed it to the green lotus, "Please also ask my sister to say thank you to Mrs. on my behalf, this kindness Changning has received it, if there is anything useful in the future......"
Speaking of this, Gu Changning was stuck, and she almost forgot that she was only eight years old now, and she had no ability, and the wife of a large family needed her help in something, and she was also confused.
Thinking of this, Gu Changning's face turned red, and he looked a little sneering, looking at Lu He and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I will convey your thanks to my wife." ā
Gu Changning smiled embarrassedly, then stuffed the purse into her sleeve, and watched the green lotus leave, and the carriage went away, so she hurriedly went to the school to find her brother.
She didn't expect to be able to sell all the raspberries on this trip, and the copper plate she got was 90 yuan, and after removing the 5 yuan for renting a stall, it was equivalent to earning 85 yuan!
Thinking of carrying these "huge sums of money" on his body, Gu Changning walked happily with the wind.
When he arrived at the school, Gu Changning was about to walk in, but was stopped by an uncle who was guarding the door, "Child, where did you come from, this is the school, it's not a place to enter if you want to, go out, get out quickly." ā
While talking and chasing her, Gu Changning was stunned by his sudden movements, and he was really driven down the stone steps by him before he knew it.
"IāI'm in the academy." Gu Changning said with a wink.
"You?" The doorkeeper furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at her a few times, and came out of his nose with a "snort", looking down on people very much, and said, "Look at what you are wearing, I don't know how long you have kept your clothes at home, and you still want to come to the school to study?" You can't afford to be bound, right? ā
Gu Changning glanced down at the clothes on his body, and he was speechless.
That's right, this dress was worn by Gu Huaian when he was seven or eight years old.
At that time, the north house had not yet been built, Gu Shan and Yang Huiyun had the idea of building a new house, and they saved some in those years, and they wore a piece of clothing and wore it again, and the color was washed and whitened and not changed.
"It's not me who came to study, it's my brother, he is studying in this school, and I'm here to find him." Although Gu Changning was a little unhappy, for the sake of earning eighty-five yuan today, he still explained to him in a good voice and wanted him to let him in.
But the man didn't care about it, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so he waved his hand directly: "Go out, don't wander around here." ā
Seeing that he was like a wandering outcast on the street, Gu Changning was extremely angry, stunned and thinking about how to get in, and after a glance, he suddenly saw a young man about eleven or twelve years old walking this way at the end of the long street, with light eyebrows and a good temperament, carrying a schoolbag on his shoulder, and the goal was directly here, and at first glance he was a student of the school.
Gu Changning suddenly stretched out his hand to point at the young man, and snorted coldly at the arrogant gatekeeper, "That's my brother, my brother is here!" ā
The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned around the two of them, and he was silent.
Because the clothes on the young man who came here were also washed gray, although there were not many places to patch, but it could also be seen that his family was poor, and he was dressed the same as the little baby in front of him.
Lin Jun was that something happened at home just now, which caused him to rush to the school at this time, and he didn't want to get closer, but he saw a handsome young boy pointing at him and saying loudly that he was his brother, which made Lin Jun stunned, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the child a few times, and his cold face was unwavering.
He didn't know when his father, who had been dead for a few years, would give him a younger brother.
