Chapter 63: Buying Jewelry
Daddy Gu thinks it's expensive, but Gu Chengyu thinks it's okay, so it is estimated that a piece of the Dayan Dynasty is equivalent to a modern dollar. He had seen the pork that his mother bought, all of which were twelve cents a pound! This is still good, and the thirteen texts are not expensive.
Gu Chengyu pulled Gu's father to squeeze in the stall with many women in front of him, expecting that it must be rouge gouache or jewelry. Daddy Gu was embarrassed to squeeze the fat powder pile, so he could only watch Gu Chengyu squeeze in, and had to stay by the side and wait, he didn't understand, why did he still like these little babies? Could it be that he was raised by his mother to be a girl? Thinking about it again, Xiaobao usually likes to be coquettish, and Daddy Gu suddenly felt a little creepy, no! When he goes back, he has to talk to Jinniang well, Xiaobao can't go on like this, he doesn't go out all day, and he doesn't play with the boy, so what's the matter? It seems that the matter of reading should be implemented as soon as possible, and when it arrives in the school, it is full of reading babies, and it will definitely be able to be corrected.
Gu Chengyu, who was picking up jewelry, didn't know his father's belly, he didn't like these now, he wanted to pick a good-looking jewelry for his mother and second sister, although this kind of small vendor didn't have any good goods, but now their family is not rich, but they have a small surplus, buy these wear them first, and wait for the family to make some money, so they don't have to spend money so carefully.
The stall owner is an old woman, Gu Chengyu listened to her introduce the things on the stall, while collecting cashiers, her hands and feet are nimble, and her mouth can boast of the jewelry on the stall as a flower, if the big girls and little daughters-in-law bring her jewelry to become immortals, Gu Chengyu is really admired.
"Ouch hey! What kind of baby is this? You're so handsome! Why did you come to this fat powder stall? At such a young age, do you know how to buy fat powder jewelry to coax a girl? As soon as the stall owner's aunt saw that Gu Chengyu's pink little baby looked like Yuxue was cute, she joked.
"Hey~ isn't it! This baby looks so good, but it's with your mother? The girls and daughters-in-law around all pursed their lips and smiled, and they also took the topic of the stall owner's aunt and laughed straightforwardly.
Gu Chengyu called the stall owner's aunt to say that the old face was red, and then looked at the jewelry and fat powder on the stall seriously, "I want to buy jewelry for my mother, and I want to buy it for my sister." ”
"Yikes! This baby is filial. Yes, you can choose, and I'll give you a cheaper price. But you have to be rich! Do you have the money to buy it? If you don't have any money, be a son-in-law for my granddaughter! Hahaha...... "The stall owner's aunt was impressed by Gu Chengyu's filial piety and cleverness, and felt that the little baby was very cute.
Gu Chengyu was a little speechless, who told him that ancient women were very reserved? He was speechless, he could only look at the stall and choose two good ones, and glanced at it roughly, and saw that most of the stalls were rough silver hairpins and gold hairpins, as well as pearls the size of rice grains, gold bracelets, silver bracelets, hairpin rings, etc., the rouge was all coarse porcelain, and the beads were a little chic, Gu Chengyu picked up a silver hairpin casually and put it in his hand, how did this weight feel wrong? Take a closer look, it seems that there is a layer of silver plated on the outside, and after looking at the luster of other gold and silver jewelry, I have a rough idea, this stall is estimated to be silver-plated and gilded, and the real gold and silver materials are those thin hairpins, it seems that this stall is full of rough jewelry, and Gu Chengyu is a little disdainful.
Casually glanced to the side, huh? Next to a pile of rouge, there was a pair of silver shrimp bracelets that attracted Gu Chengyu's attention, Gu Chengyu wanted to pick up the pair of bracelets, but was held down by a pair of big hands, "You little baby, you fell in love with my pair of shrimp bracelets as soon as you came?" It's really pure silver!" The stall owner's aunt is a little suspicious that this little baby can't afford it, because the adults in his family are not around, who will carry so much silver? Looking at the clothes on this little baby, she doesn't look like the son of a rich family.
Gu Chengyu knew what the stall owner's aunt suspected, of course he had silver on him. But although the money is on him temporarily, he still has to ask his father.
"Auntie, how much silver do you have for this bracelet?" The workmanship of this shrimp bracelet is different from the crude jewelry next to it, it is slightly finer, it is made of silver wire, it should be real silver wire, not silver plating.
"My dad is over there, I think this bracelet is very suitable for my second sister, the eldest lady said a number, if it's still affordable, I'll pick another hairpin, do you still have a good hairpin?" I'm going to give it to my mother. Gu Chengyu saw that although the jewelry on the stall was not exquisite, since there was a shrimp bracelet, maybe the stall owner had some better, but he didn't take it out.
"Are you sure you really want to buy it? Where's your dad? There has to be someone in charge, right? A good hairpin is not cheap! The stall owner's aunt said while taking out a cloth bag that seemed to have a box in it from under the stall next to her, and opened it, there were two silver hairpins inside, Gu Chengyu fell in love with one of the hollow carved hairpins at a glance, the production was quite exquisite, and he felt that this silver hairpin should be suitable for his mother.
"How much silver is this hairpin and that bracelet?" Gu Chengyu lit the silver hairpin and asked the stall owner. I came out early today, and I was a little hungry, so I bought it and went back to buy something to eat! Big brother must be in a hurry.
"This bracelet is three taels of silver, but this hairpin is very expensive! It costs five taels! The eldest lady was also very happy to see that Gu Chengyu really had the intention of buying, but she was worried that his family would not agree.
"Dad, come over here." Gu Chengyu shouted towards Daddy Gu.
"What's wrong?" Father Gu heard his son calling him, so he walked over to this side.
The girls and daughters-in-law who were surrounding them saw that they really wanted to buy jewelry, so they all got out of the way.
"What are you doing here, baby? Hurry out and get out. Father Gu walked to the stall in embarrassment. The stall owner's aunt glanced at Daddy Gu, and saw that such a farmer didn't look like a person who was willing to buy jewelry!
"Dad, let's buy a hairpin for my mother! I've chosen them all, eight taels of silver. Gu Chengyu quietly put a silver ingot of ten taels in the space on his sleeve.
"What? Eight taels? That's too expensive, right? Father Gu was taken aback, this baby, if he didn't look at him for a while, he dared to spend money on his father.
"Dad, don't you want to buy a hairpin for your mother?" Gu Chengyu squinted at his father, he didn't believe that he would move out of his mother, and his father would refuse.
"Buy, buy, of course." Sure enough, when Father Gu heard that he was going to buy it for the Lu family, he couldn't care about being distressed.
"Auntie, look, I bought you two so expensive, you can give it cheaper, right? I'll pick four more beaded flowers, and you'll give me a cheaper price." ”
"Ouch! This is really not expensive, you also know that I am a small stall, can not sell the price, if you go to the front of the Guangqing Silver Building, but far more than this price! The stall owner's lady patted her thigh exaggeratedly, shouting that her things were the most affordable.
