Chapter 242: Compromise

In later generations, a gentleman once said.

The Chinese always like to reconcile and compromise.

If you say that this house is too dark, you must open a window here, and you will not allow it.

But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the windows.

This is known in psychology as the 'house demolition effect'.

The head of the Gao family was in this state of mind at this time.

He carefully rubbed the fabric of the cotton robe in his hand.

The neat fabrics and the fine stitches all indicate that this new type of fabric has never been seen before.

Thinking of the price of a single horse recorded on those cloth tickets, the Gao family's elder eyebrows moved.

Hurriedly went to look through the inside of the cotton robe.

Gongsun Jing didn't stop it, and stood aside with his hands tied.

It's a pity that the stitches of this robe are extremely fine, and I can't tell what the cotton filled inside is.

But holding it in his hand for a while, he could feel that this robe was between the brocade robe of silk wool and the low-grade kudzu hemp robe of the silk wool.

Enough to fill the gap in the middle.

Not only in the Northland, but also in the South, it will be a hot winter cargo.

The head of the Gao family looked at it for a long time before he thoughtfully returned the cotton robe in his hand to the steward.

The main question now is whether the girl who is too domineering and unruly will really pay such a huge amount of cloth.

Gongsun Jing smiled, beat his waist and said, "Gao Gong, why don't you sit down and talk about it?" ”

Only then did the head of the Gao family sit back in his place, and saw the colorful tickets he had thrown on the desk earlier.

After thinking about it, he saw Gongsun Jing bowing his head and warming the cup of tea, so he flicked his hand and rolled those tickets into his sleeve.

He thought to himself that the Gongsun clan should not really be so shameless, right?

Such thoughts were fleeting, but they were enough for him to find an excuse to comfort himself after being forced to submit.

The candy after the slap is extra sweet.

Qualified leeks are always good at comforting themselves.

Gongsun Jing did not miss the actions of the head of the Gao family, but he did not poke it, and the two old men tacitly skipped the previous topic at the same time.

Gongsun Jing acted as if nothing had happened, beckoning the head of the Gao family to drink tea.

When he saw that the autumn pears sent were big and full, he ordered his servants to clean and cut them.

The two chatted for a while when they heard footsteps.

Gongsun Jing looked up and wanted to tell the servant to put down the pear, but saw his granddaughter personally holding a lacquer plate with cut pears in it.

At this time, he was combing the high bun of his ordinary daughter's house in a regular manner, and he was holding an ebony pear flower hairpin.

Dressed in plain clothes, the yard was brightened all the way.

But the head of the Gao family collapsed when he saw her, don't start.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Gao." Holding the plate that she had snatched from the servant, she smiled, "I cut the pear with my own hands, and the second elder tasted it." ”

As he spoke, he put the fruit plate on the table.

"Okay, Ah Yan is filial." Gongsun Jing smiled meaningfully.

"Grandpa Gao, please eat pears."

Gongsun Yan is used to pretending, and at this time, in front of the head of the Gao family, she looks like a coquettish look, as if it was not she who forced people to sell the horse farm before.

She greeted people with a smile, but the head of the Gao family was not good at scolding the juniors in front of her grandfather.

He snorted from his nose in response, reluctantly took a piece of pear and put it in his mouth.

His face was not good, Gongsun Yan didn't care, and she presented the pear to Gongsun Jing again: "Grandpa, taste it." ”

Gongsun Yan smiled: "I've been busy doing business with people recently, and I haven't come to see Grandpa for a few days." ”

Gongsun Jing and the two stiffened at the same time, and said in their hearts, are you doing business? You're robbing!

The head of the Gao family couldn't help but snort heavily.

When Gongsun Yan heard this, he let out a long sigh: "I know that Grandpa Gao is annoying me, but I can't help it, so that there are too few available manpower in the branch city, and the weaving factory is really short of manpower." ”

After speaking, she looked at the head of the Gao family expectantly: "Grandpa Gao, you also read the cotton cloth, what do you think?" ”

Dare to still think about his family? The head of the Gao family was secretly lucky, so he didn't put the pear in front of her on her face.

Gongsun Jing coughed lightly, feeling a little blind.

"Grandpa Gao, you should give an accurate number quickly, and the people sent will be paid for food and shelter, and they will not be treated badly."

As for whether it will be returned at that time, Gongsun Yan automatically ignored this issue.

Jing Gong, you don't care?

The head of the Gao family turned his gaze to Gongsun Jing, but saw Gongsun Jing with his face drooping his eyelids, looking asleep.

Secretly scolding in his heart, the head of the Gao family looked even more ugly, and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly thought of something, and silently withdrew his hand that was about to slap the table.

After being silent for a long time, he still said, "How much do you want?" ”

Judging from all the previous experiences, the girl in front of her is by no means just thick-skinned.

What she wants, she will definitely find a way to get it.

Instead of tearing your face, it's better to talk about it at this time.

When Gongsun Yan heard this, he immediately smiled, and looked at the head of the Gao family fixedly: "How many do you have?" ”
